dream of red mansion

Chapter 686
After all the "idlers and others" had left, Jia Yun finally couldn't help but said: "Why did the second uncle take all the food from them? If the court stopped fighting, although our family needs a lot of food to make wine, But it doesn’t take that much.”

After Jia Yun raised his family, he should have called Jia Qing "Father".At first he also called it that way, and Jia Qing also tried to accept it with the mentality of "Xie Delin'er", but it felt weird every time, especially one time when Jia Yun called him "Father" in front of the sisters, The funny looks of the sisters are embarrassing.Then Xiangyun said: "Brother Yun, what should you call Sister Bao?" This pushed everyone's laughter to a climax.

In view of this, Jia Qing still asked Jia Yun to call him second uncle as usual, which made things smoother and more natural.

Jia Qing didn't answer Jia Yun's words, but asked Shen Congcheng, "What do you think, brother?"

Shen Congcheng suddenly laughed: "Look at what my brother means, if I want to sell the food in my hand, I will be willing to eat it? The quantity in my hand is far from comparable to the few of them..."

Shen Congcheng was originally a big cloth merchant with a huge family fortune.Over the years, relying on the name of "Shen's Soap, the No. [-] Soap in the World", combined with his own cloth shop business, the wealth of the family has been gathered faster than Ningguo Mansion...

Of course, this is because Jia Qing's winery restaurant is still in its initial stage.

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Based on the relationship between my brother and me, they bought all of them. If my brother also wants to sell, I will naturally buy it. However, I really don't have that much money now, so I have to give a receipt. "

Shen Congcheng glanced at Jia Qing, but said with a smile: "I won't sell it anymore. I'm going back to open two rice shops and sell them slowly. The price will be much higher than yours."

Jia Qing took a serious look at him, and said, "If so, thank you brother for trusting me!"

Open a shop to sell, if the price is not very low, when will his hundreds of thousands of shi of grain be sold?
Jia Qing understood that maybe he trusted Jia Qing, since Jia Qing dared to continue hoarding food, he was not afraid.Or maybe, he is unwilling to "add insult to injury", for fear of bringing more pressure on himself.

No matter what it is, in short, this is affection.It is the friendship created by so many years of good and continuous cooperation.

Shen Congcheng also left.

"Tell Chaochao to call all the workers back. Our winery doesn't have to stop for the time being, and we will go all out to make wine!
But remember, give priority to old grain. "

"Yes."

Although Jia Yun obeyed, the doubt in her eyes has not completely disappeared.

He just made the final calculation for Jia Qing, adding today's 42 shi of grain from the five grain merchants and nearly 20 shi of the Xue family's grain, Jia Qing's name suddenly added 60 shi of grain.

In addition to the Ningguo Mansion's stockpile, it is far more than 100 million stones...

If all of this was turned into wine, Jia Yun couldn't imagine how much it would be.Besides, the winery can't afford so much food.

"Young master Yun, don't worry, the second master's move is probably determined, and the price of food will not go down.

Perhaps, it won't be long before these grain merchants who store food for the second master for free will cry.

However, I can't guess why the second master is so determined. "

Yang Xu pondered for a long time, but he really didn't understand Jia Qing's intention.But he knew that Jia Qing was definitely not stupid, so he had no choice but to tell Jia Yun like this.

"No, no, I'm not sure." Jia Qing said so.

"The reason why I agreed to collect their food is that firstly, I really feel that the price of food this time will not go down at all, because I don't believe that the Ice Bear Congress really wants to make a good relationship with us forever. Two, I need food, a lot of food. In the hands of merchants, food is just something to make money, but in my hands, they are of great use!
However, I may not be able to hit these two points.After all, I am not a god, so it is impossible to predict the future.

However, I can take a gamble!
If I lose the bet, at worst I will sell the unused grain at a loss, and at most I will lose a few hundred thousand taels of silver. I still have the courage to do so.

But if the bet is won, then the value cannot be estimated by a few hundred thousand taels of silver. "

Jia Yun and Yang Xu were startled.

The admiration for Jia Qing in my heart is like a high mountain, which cannot be stopped.

Looking at the world, who can ignore a few 10 taels of silver?The loss of several 10 taels of silver is called "mere courage"?
Neither can the emperor!

……

A winter snow arrived as expected.

"I met my aunt."

"Did the second uncle get up?"

"get up."

Ling'er stepped into Ning'an Hall.

"Sister Peifeng..."

"Humph."

Peifeng didn't appreciate someone's gentle words, so she snorted coldly and went out of the room.

This woman is so shameless that she betrayed the second master, and now she still dares to hang out in Ning'an hall at any time.The second master could bear it, but she couldn't.

Later, Xie Luan also came out with the utensils after cleaning Jia. Seeing this scene, he smoothed things over and said, "Auntie, don't be as knowledgeable as her, she just has that temper..."

"I know, I won't mind... the second uncle is inside, right?"

"Here I am."

Ling'er nodded and led her maid into the door of Jia Qing's bedroom.

Sitting on the bed, Jia Qing put on her shoes, looked up and saw her, and said calmly, "What are you doing here?"

"My concubine came to pay my respects to my second uncle. By the way, I made a pot of chicken soup for my second uncle. Please have a taste of my second uncle..."

Jia Qing frowned slightly, and then said: "If you have such thoughts, you might as well put it on Rong'er. How did I hear that he brought back a brothel girl recently?"

"Second Uncle is talking about Chunmei, she is also a hard-working woman, her parents died when she was young, and she was sold into Yixiangyuan.

Rong'er took a fancy to her, so I found someone to redeem her body, and took her to live in the yard.I asked Sister Keqing about this, and she agreed. "

"Forget it, who asked you this!" Jia Qing said impatiently.

He really doesn't understand this woman!Since she chose Jia Rong, why would Jia Qing stop her?

Therefore, when Jia Rong took her to kneel in front of him and asked Jia Qing to give her to him, Jia Qing agreed.

Then, she became the only aunt in Ningguo Mansion.

My aunt is the master.

But now, she comes here on time every day to say hello, that's all, and she sends this to that every now and then. I don't know if she is so considerate to Jia Rong!
But Jia Qing was unwilling to delve into it.He didn't want to get too involved with this woman.

A woman who had kept saying that she liked him and would do anything to get his attention, turned around and threw herself into the arms of another man, and this man was also his nephew.Such a woman, Jia Qing can't understand, can't figure it out, so she can only keep her at a respectful distance.

As long as she doesn't threaten him with Qin Keqing's matter, that's fine.

Jia Qing lifted her legs and walked out of the room.

Go to the backyard, exchange feelings with a group of charming and heroic female guards, and then run away when the green pearl appears...

Luzhu is too scary, when she sees him, she thinks of her mission, and "trains" Jia Qing to death, so that no extra flesh on Jia Qing's body can grow!

Jia's mother said that when he was a child, he looked fat and white. How come the longer he grows, the longer he grows, so he is not as blessed as Jia Baoyu?
Stepping into the Grand View Garden, you can see that the whole garden is white.

The snow came a bit late this year, and this is the first heavy snow this year.

After passing Dashanyin Road, I saw that the gate of Quicui Nunnery, which has not been opened for many years, was actually open, and inside the courtyard wall, girls with red flowers, willows and green flowers, fat, swallows and thin, gathered together, obviously doing activities.

Jia Qing smiled slightly, this day, walking through the snow to find plum blossoms is indeed an elegant pleasure.So go up the stairs, ready to see what they are doing.
