Feng Yibo's words made Jia She feel nervous.
His face remained calm, but he was making calculations in his heart.
Should I give up another five thousand taels?
But five thousand taels is a lot for him.
For Feng Yibo on the opposite side, it seems to be of no importance.
Do you want to give up another ten thousand taels?
Just when Jia She was struggling with how much more to give in, Feng Yibo smiled and said:
"But since my uncle has spoken, it's hard not to give him face as a junior."
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's thirty thousand taels or fifty thousand.
With Donghai County's gold and silver as its backing, the money is just a number.
Of course, even though the money came from the strong wind, Feng Yibo would not spend it carelessly.
However, since he had made the "Golden Escape" plan, he wanted to do it beautifully.
Spending an extra eighteen thousand taels can be regarded as leaving more room for the two families.
Doesn’t it mean that Jia She can still be used in the future?
In addition, there is actually another reason.
It's just that this matter involves the change of power between the DPRK and China.
Feng Yibo was not sure whether it would reach the level he expected.
Of course, he believed that with the Jia family's sensitivity, they might not feel anything at all.
The consequence of this matter is that the value of the bill of exchange may be involved.
Recently, Feng Yibo has begun to ask Donghai County to get rid of the money orders and exchange them for cash in batches.
While guarding against financial risks, you are also preparing for a plan of your own.
Regardless of whether the value of the bill of exchange changes in the end, the cash will be used.
Jia She didn't even go to court on weekdays, so naturally he had no idea about this.
Even if I heard a little bit of news from elsewhere, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to think of sending a money order.
Feng Yibo believed that only a handful of people in the court had this knowledge.
In any case, now that things have turned around, Jia She is naturally pleasantly surprised.
If the Jia family were at their peak, they would certainly not be short of these tens of thousands of taels of silver.
In the early spring of the Yuan Dynasty, the Jia family went to the south of the Yangtze River to buy actors, buy colorful lanterns, candles, and colorful curtains.
I spent fifty thousand taels of silver casually.
Such an expense is inconspicuous among the entire provincial family.
It's just a larger account.
But now, Jia's house is empty.
As the head of the family, he had trouble even holding five thousand taels of silver.
What's more, if you move, it will cost you ten thousand liang?
It had been a long time since Jia She had passed through more than ten thousand taels of silver.
There will be a big income soon, how can he not be surprised?
However, although Feng Yibo agreed to the fifty thousand taels, he also said:
"But it's not easy for me to deal with Sun Shaozu's affairs, and I can't get involved in the army."
Feng Yibo was an official in the Ministry of Rites and had no military power.
The matter of Sun Shaozu was a bit tricky for him.
Either the Ministry of War would come forward to do this, but it would not be easy to remove the real shortage at the command level.
Or it could be a powerful military official like Wang Ziteng who comes forward.
But now, Jia Yucun and Wang Ziteng are at the center of the storm.
The two of them were definitely not in the mood to care about such a thing.
And Feng Yibo didn't want to go to the upstart side just because of such a thing.
Therefore, he would naturally refuse Sun Shaozu.
When Jia She heard this, he was immediately embarrassed and said:
"Tsk! If this thing can't be done, it will be harmful to my reputation!"
It was not easy for someone to ask him to do something, but Jia She still wanted to do it.
He had chased Jia Yucun several times before, but had no reply.
Even so, he actually had no intention of defaulting on his debt.
I just wanted to wait for Jia Yucun to calm down before helping Sun Shaozu with the matter.
Of course, if you marry in the Spring Festival, that's another matter.
Seeing this, Feng Yibo pondered for a moment.
I thought I'd better do my best to get things done as smoothly as possible.
To avoid any accidents happening to Sun Shaozu in the future.
At that moment, he didn't finish his words, he only said:
"Well, I have a friend who has a way to the capital, but this money..."
His friend was naturally Xia Bingzhong, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
The two of them have become more or less alienated since Xia Shouzhong's incident.
Although Feng Yibo never lacked gifts, he never saw him alone again.
Now that times have changed, Feng Yibo plans to take this opportunity to try to move around again.
Maybe it's also an opportunity to relax.
When Jia She heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said:
"As long as it can be done, just start from those 50,000 taels!"
Thinking that it was a vacancy in Jingying, Jia She added:
"But not more than five thousand!"
Jingying was originally the territory of the Jia family, and Jia She knew that the shortage there was not cheap.
No matter how particular he is, he cannot do a losing business.
"Well, there's no guarantee of success, so I can only try my best."
As soon as the rabbit was up and the falcon was about to fall, the two sides had already reached an agreement.
Jia Lian, who was present, was still confused.
This is so different from what he thought!
Feng Yibo was thinking about welcoming the spring and wanted to take her into his house as a concubine.
This was more shocking than Feng Yibo's attempt to kill Jia She.
Mainly because Feng Yibo didn't miss the news at all, which made Jia Lian a little unable to react in time.
But now that Jia She has agreed, what else can he, the elder brother, say?
Yingchun is also his biological sister, so it is a good thing that she follows Feng Yibo.
At least Feng Yibo had some explanation for his kindness to him.
And, although not as he thought.
But it did "solve" his complaint, which was that his father had no money to spend.
At this point, Jia Lian could only look at Feng Yibo with a complicated expression.
From beginning to end, not a single word was interjected.
Afterwards, Jia Zheng received twenty-five thousand taels first and returned home happily.
As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he took Mrs. Xing to find Jia Mu.
Jia Lian was also asked to call Jia Zheng and his wife over.
When it was said that Yingchun would no longer be given to the Sun family, she would be given as a concubine to Feng Yibo.
Jia Mu's eyes suddenly widened and she said angrily:
"No! I don't agree!"
She was really embarrassed and immediately rejected Jia She's suggestion with a cold snort.
Although she was dissatisfied with the Sun family before, she was still married to someone else.
Now it's like being a kid again, even if that person is Feng Yibo.
How can you let Jia Mu accept it?
"Mom, Yibo's future development is limitless, and marrying him will only be good for our Jia family."
Seeing Jia Mu's cold face, Jia She didn't feel dissatisfied, and immediately began to persuade:
"Although the two nieces Xue Lin and I have both married into the Feng Mansion, they are still outsiders to us. We are separated by the Xue Lin family, so how can we not be considered in-laws?"
Hearing this, Jia Mu was immediately furious and reprimanded:
"A good girl, you don't want to be a wife, but you want to be a concubine for others? What are you thinking! Our Rongguo Jia family can't afford to disgrace this person!"
Jia She was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but fortunately he had already thought that Jia Mu would refuse.
He was not annoyed at the moment, but turned to his younger brother Jia Zheng and asked:
"Cunzhou, you previously advised me not to let Yingchun marry Sun Shaozu, but now I have changed my mind. What do you say?"
Come and try it quickly. 】
"this……"
Jia Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Jia She was waiting for him here.
After pondering for a while, he said:
"Yibo is naturally good, but..."
The meaning of this "but" is obvious.
Although he looked down upon Sun Shaozu, he did not want Yingchun to be his concubine.
"You also think it's not okay to be a concubine?"
Seeing this, Jia She glanced at him sideways.
Then he directly used his trump card and said:
"The eldest lady said at the beginning that we should make more friends with the Feng family. Is there any better way than marriage?"
"this……"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng was speechless.
The Rong Mansion's biggest support is now Yuanchun.
Her words were no less important than an imperial edict in the Jia family.
As soon as these words came out, not only Jia Zheng was unable to say anything to refute.
Even Jia Mu was lost in thought.
Yuanchun indeed said more than once that he wanted the Jia family to have a good relationship with Feng Yibo.
She was in trouble in the palace, and Feng Yibo helped her through it.
Later, he "rescued" her from trouble and escorted her back to Beijing hundreds of miles away.
The matter involved Yuanchun, and Mrs. Wang was moved in her heart.
However, she was not in a hurry to help, but continued to observe the situation calmly.
"All the older girls are interested in Yibo, but our Jia family only has a few relatives with him. How can this be possible?"
Seeing that mentioning Yuanchun was useful, Jia She quickly pursued the victory and said:
"It's her blessing that Yibo likes Yingchun. If she comes to the Feng family, the two wives will be her sisters, so she won't be bullied."
As he said this, he also showed an attitude of "for the good of welcoming the spring" and said:
"With her temperament that can't be beaten with three sticks, having sisters to take care of her, isn't it several times better than being the first wife of an ordinary family?"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu also hesitated.
Although Yingchun is not taken seriously, she is still a girl from the Jia family.
She grew up under his knees, so how could she not know her character?
"If it doesn't work, then I can only give it to Sun Shaozu, but after thinking about it, I think he is not good."
When Jia She saw that Jia Mu was shaken, he immediately started to throw dirty water on Sun Shaozu again, saying:
"I heard that he is an extremely lecherous person. All the girls and wives in the house have had sex with him. If he goes to welcome the Spring Festival, will he have a good life?"
This is a bit of an either/or.
Normally, Jia Mu would slowly come to her senses.
Since the Sun family can't do it, then find another one, not just for the Feng family.
However, before Jia Mu could respond, Mrs. Wang interrupted again and said:
"Although we and the Feng family are in a roundabout way, we are still real relatives. Yibo has never been an abrupt person. When has he ever asked our Jia family for anything?"
Since Yuanchun asked the Jia family to be friends with the Feng family, Yingchun was not the second wife's girl.
Mrs. Wang is naturally willing to facilitate such a benefit and cost-effective thing.
Seeing that Jia Mu had been shaken, she immediately joined in and said:
"Since he said that Taoist Youfang said that only Yingchun can help the Feng family continue their incense, if he doesn't agree, wouldn't it make Yi Bo feel cold?"
Mrs. Wang's point of view is actually based on Yuan Chun's request for Jia Feng and his family to have a good relationship.
When Jia Zheng heard this, he naturally nodded frequently.
When Mrs. Xing saw this, she quickly echoed:
"Yes, yes, the old lady might as well just agree. Daiyu and Baochai are not outsiders, and they will definitely not treat Yingchun harshly."
Although she didn't know why Jia She changed her mind, she usually succumbed to Jia She's lustful power.
Naturally, she would do whatever Jia She said.
Seeing that her two sons and daughter-in-law were trying to persuade her, Jia's mother softened and said:
"Normally, if you promise to be parents, why would you ask me, an old woman?"
Hearing these words is a prelude to agreeing.
Jia She hurriedly drove the snake onto the stick and said:
"That's what mother said. After all, Yingchun grew up under your knees, so I naturally want to ask your opinion."
Mrs. Xing also smiled and said:
"Although I am the legitimate mother, she was not born by me, and she was raised by the old lady, so she naturally has to listen to you."
Jia Mu sighed, waved her hand and said:
"Don't ask me for my opinion, make your own decision!"
As soon as he said this, he was considered to have agreed.
Jia She was so happy that he basically got 50,000 taels.
He immediately bowed to Jia Mu and said excitedly:
"As long as my mother says so, I will take care of it in the next few days!"
After saying that, he took Mrs. Xing and left.
"etc!"
Jia Mu called him from behind and ordered:
"The national mourning is not over yet, so don't disturb the streets."
Jia She nodded immediately, but didn't take it seriously and just said:
"I understand. Once we have an agreement with the other side, I will have someone take you there in a sedan, and then we'll have a family dinner and that's it."
Jia Mu nodded, sighed again, and said:
"This is just a hardship for the child Yingchun."
It didn't take long for this matter to spread throughout the Jia family.
When Yingchun and Tanchun heard this, they were overjoyed privately, so there was no need to mention it further.
When Baoyu heard about it, she realized that she was actually a guest matchmaker that day.
I also saw that Mrs. Xing had already taken Yingchun out of the Grand View Garden after returning to Jia Mu.
He became more and more disappointed and often fell into a daze.
I don’t know what to do for a while.
When he heard that he would accompany four girls there, he sighed again and said:
"From now on, there will be five less pure people in this world!"
In the past, Baoyu seldom went to the place where spring was welcomed, but in the past few days, he had been wandering around Zilingzhou every day to look back.
Seeing the loneliness of his xuan window, the screen tent suddenly disappeared.
But there were only a few old women on duty at night.
Looking at the polygonum flowers and reed leaves on the shore, they all seemed to be shaking and falling, as if they were reminiscing about old friends.
It is very different from the usual show off and beauty.
Therefore, Baoyu couldn't help himself and chanted a song at random:
"A cold autumn wind blew away the red jade shadows of the lotus leaves on the pond one night.
The polygonum flowers and water chestnut leaves are filled with sorrow, and heavy dew of heavy frost presses the slender stems.
I don't hear the sound of playing chess in Yongzhou, and the chessboard is stained with mud.
The ancients said farewell to their friends, but now I feel the love of brotherhood! "
Just as he finished chanting, he suddenly heard someone behind him sneer:
"I haven't seen Second Master Bao and Second Sister how good they are, but now they are reciting poems and writing poems to say goodbye."
Baoyu turned around to see who it was, and it turned out to be Tanchun.
Tanchun strolled over and asked with a smile:
"I wonder if Mr. Bao will do the same thing if I leave the cabinet in the future?"
In front of the elders, Tanchun always calls him second brother.
Now there are only two of them, but they call them Mr. Bao.
His alienation made Baoyu feel a little uncomfortable.
I also thought that there are fewer and fewer sisters in the Grand View Garden nowadays.
Baoyu also wanted to calm down with Tanchun and said:
"You are my biological sister, so I miss you even more."
When Tanchun heard this, he was surprised at first, and then sneered:
"Oh, now you know that I am your biological sister?"
Baoyu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He quickly changed the topic and asked:
"Third sister, why did you lie to me that day?"
When Tanchun heard this, he immediately turned away and said:
"Second Master Bao, don't talk nonsense. Have we ever lied to you?"
Seeing that she refused to admit it, Baoyu couldn't elaborate.
If you tell the truth, let others listen.
Then the reputation of the girls in Jia's family is over.
Therefore, Baoyu only said:
"Even if you didn't lie to me, you should still thank me, right?"
Tanchun understood that he meant no harm, and now he softened his tone and said:
"We trust you, that's why we let you help."
Baoyu originally just wanted to take credit, not a reward.
Tanchun's words were regarded as recognition of him, which immediately made him feel much more comfortable.
At that moment, he got a little carried away and sang:
"The matchmaker under the moon, the red thread leads the pair..."
Seeing his careless look, Tanchun suddenly felt.
My obsession seems to have dissipated a lot.
Thinking about it, Baoyu might have done it unintentionally.
Just because of his words to coax Daiyu, he has made himself entangled to this day.
Now that the second sister is about to leave the cabinet, it is estimated that she will be the next one.
It doesn't matter whether he recognizes it or not.
So what?
Keeping such things in mind is just asking for trouble.
At this moment, right in front of Zilingzhou.
Tanchun suddenly felt relieved about what Baoyu had done.
When Baoyu finished singing a section of "The West Chamber", she smiled and said:
"When the second sister comes out of the cabinet, the second brother can go have a few more drinks on my behalf."
After saying that, he left a relieved figure.
Baoyu froze in place, savoring the change of address.
With his sensitivity, how could he not feel the difference in Tanchun.
However, he didn't understand why Tanchun changed.
Are you impressed by yourself, or are you freeing yourself?
Should you forgive yourself or stop worrying about it?
Think about this.
For a moment, Baoyu was in front of Zilingzhou and became crazy again.
