Jia Amnesty saw that Jia Zheng was still stubborn and couldn't lose face.

He couldn't help saying angrily, "It's said to be one hundred and eighty catties, but what Lian'er said just now included the son-in-law's elders. For this amount, half of my family will burn incense.

And when relatives and friends come to the door during the New Year's Eve in the future, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if they can't bring out extra fresh peaches? "

Jia Zheng had nothing to say now, and Mother Jia sighed, "It's really just like what my grandson-in-law said, if he didn't talk about the peach tree, he wouldn't be so bothered."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were silent for a while, but Jia Lian frowned secretly.

Does the meaning in these words mean to blame Shi Zhongkui?
Immediately felt guilty towards Shi Zhongkui.

Immediately, he thought about it, and when dealing with his own father, sometimes he had to say the opposite.

"Isn't this 10,000 taels a tree too expensive and absurd?"

Sure enough, Jia She yelled angrily, "What do you know, if fresh peaches with 50 taels of silver were delivered years ago, it would be a shame to send them to an old relative's house as a festival gift.

Moreover, the Shangguan who sent it to the Ministry of Industry had to move up a position if he couldn't say that the second child was not possible. "

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng changed immediately.

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia's mother, and saw the old lady blinked her eyes.

Then he hesitated and said, "Just buy one, but it's not enough. It's really too expensive to buy three or five."

"If you don't buy it, it might be cheaper for Yu Honggao." After Jia She said this, he said with a twitch in his heart, "Didn't my uncle say that I should give gifts to the old lady every year?

Don't give me peaches, just give me a peach tree.

On the other side of his master's gate, he also sent a peach tree to his master, so that the affections of both parties can be taken care of, and the trouble of how to distribute them can be avoided. "

Jia Mu and Jia Zheng looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise.

Jia Lian even cursed secretly in her heart, she didn't expect her own father to be so witty.

Speaking out is not afraid of being laughed to death.

But Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and even Jia Lian didn't speak this time.

10,000 taels of silver is enough to cover the expenses of the Rongguo Mansion for one or two years.

Besides, Jia She, the father-in-law, said this, so it is their son-in-law's business.

It's really not easy for my grandmother and second uncle to intervene.

After Jia Lian thought about it, she suddenly reminded, "Should I tell Brother Zhen?"

Jia Amnesty slapped his thigh and almost forgot Ningguo Mansion.

If Jia Zhen was to take three to five catties of peaches for nothing every year, or a dozen catties of peaches, it would be hundreds of taels, or even more than 1000 taels of silver.

"Hurry up and ask Zhen'er to come over. It's hard for us elders not to say anything about such a big matter."

Jia's mother and Jia Zheng nodded, and then Jia Lian hurried out of the house and went to Ningguo Mansion in person.

But before he had gone far, he heard a voice calling out to him.

"Lian'er, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Following the sound, she saw Wang Xifeng leading Ping'er, waving to herself in the corridor.

Jia Lian didn't have the time to pay attention to Wang Xifeng at this time, and wanted to leave after a few perfunctory words, but Wang Xifeng stopped him again.

He was also pulled into the ring corridor by Ping'er.

"Are you discussing about those fresh peaches in the hands of the Second Young Master?"

Jia Lian was taken aback, looked at Wang Xifeng and said, "Can you guess this?"

"Hmph", Wang Xifeng snorted, and smiled triumphantly, "I don't know what you and the old man are thinking about, but I can advise you, don't forget about my uncle.

When the time comes, he will blame you and make you feel overwhelmed. "

Jia Lian frowned after hearing this, but knew in her heart that this was absolutely true.

Wang Ziteng definitely doesn't care about 2000 taels a year, but he definitely cares about face.

At that time, the Jia family has one but the Wang family does not. Wang Ziteng has no reason to trouble Jia Mu, Jia Amnesty, and Jia Zheng, but he will definitely hold his niece and son-in-law accountable.

And Jia Lian also understands Wang Xifeng's careful thinking.

It was nothing more than telling herself through Wang Ziteng that she had a big backer.

But this is exactly what most men hate in their hearts.

Of course, if you can get help from my uncle's family, that's another story.

"I will pay attention to this matter. If you are free, it will be good for us to go to Yingchun and Miss Bao to walk around more."

"It's up to you to say it," Wang Xifeng said with a smile when Jia Lian understood what he meant, "Second Young Master is so knowledgeable and good at management.

I can take out 1 taels of silver to open a restaurant with you and Xue Pan. When I was in charge of the restaurant for three days, the dim sum sold at least more than 200 copies a day.

Even the sorbet for one tael of silver can be sold for twenty or thirty copies.

This item alone earns 7 to 80 taels of silver every day.

Even if you only earn half of it, you still have 4000 to [-] taels of silver a year.

Otherwise, no matter how good the dishes are by those cooks, whoever’s food will be worse than mine?
If you don't prepare some good-looking red cards, Huixian Building will lose money if it doesn't work.

Besides, the guys from the Jia family and the Xue family in the restaurant are very shrewd. There are a lot of people in our family who want to curry favor with Yingchun and Baochai. "

Jia Lian was stunned again, and then he understood, "You only know so much after working in the restaurant for three days?"

Wang Xifeng smiled triumphantly, "Who am I? Just do the math, and you'll be able to figure out your old background."

It's a pity that Jia Lian smiled and shook his head this time, "You are wrong."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Wang Xifeng and went straight to Ningguo Mansion.

"Ping'er, what does Lian Er mean by that?"

After thinking about it, Ping'er laughed and said, "Second Grandma, could it be that the second son-in-law's way of making money is more than we know, and they are all making money?"

"That's right." Wang Xifeng thought about it carefully, the person who can make even Jia Lian curry favor is definitely the one who can make money, very good at making money.

"Unfortunately, it's too late to start, otherwise my Wang family would not have no good girls."

Ping'er shook his head secretly, the Wang family did have girls waiting to be married, but none of them were concubines.
-
When Jia Lian and Jia Zhen entered Jia Mu's house, Jia Zhen, who had heard a lot of news from Jia Lian along the way, saluted the three of them.

He hurriedly said, "Old lady, if my uncle dares to make a contract in black and white, my nephew and grand-nephew think that this matter can be done.

And it has to be fast, lest Boqian's teacher find out that Boqian is only willing to give one to the old lady to show his filial piety. "

"Yes, yes."

Jia She quickly echoed, "The second girl hasn't married yet, my uncle's family is much more important than my father-in-law."

While Jia's mother and Jia Zheng agreed in their hearts, they couldn't help muttering that even if Yingchun really married, your father-in-law can't compare to his mentor.

Not to mention that Yingchun is only Ping's wife, and Jia She's status in the Shi family is not even comparable to that of his uncle.

If Shi Zhongkui doesn't want to pay attention to him, Jia Amnesty really can't help it.

Seeing that the four men who could call the shots agreed or acquiesced, Jia Mu asked, "How many should I buy?"

Jia Zhen hurriedly said, "Rongning and Ningfu will each buy two, and Boqian will give the old lady another one, which is considered filial to you by him and Yingchun.

Such distribution happened to be on the same side as Boqian's sect, and Boqian would not be in a difficult situation. "

Both Jia Mu and Jia Zheng nodded.

Although Jia Amnesty wanted more, when he thought of Yu Honggao, he could only accept it with a sigh.

Besides, my son-in-law is not so easy to calculate.

Moreover, this kind of allocation means that Rongguo Mansion has three, which happens to be one for each of Jia's mother, himself, and Jia Zheng.

On the other hand, Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion took advantage.

But he is a junior, and when he has a lot left over there, it will not be a matter of a word to ask him to send some over!

Thinking of this, Jia She suddenly felt that he was taking advantage.

But Jia Zhen is not stupid. Sending the old lady off is because of filial piety, and there is no other way.

Although my own father has become a Taoist priest, he is still the cousin of Jia She and Jia Zheng in name, and he is also the former patriarch.

When Jia Zhen said that she wanted to honor Lao Tzu, Jia Amnesty couldn't do anything if she got angry.

Jia Lian was the most anxious at this moment, resisting the worry of being scolded and beaten, "Old lady, do you also have to consider Uncle?"

"No need", Mother Jia paid no attention to the Wang family's thoughts this time, "Lian'er just tell your uncle, and let the Wang family and uncle discuss the rest."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng nodded at the same time.

Wang Ziteng had promised to help Jia Zheng through relations and promotion, but it had been several months, but there was no movement at all.

Jia Zheng and Jia's mother must have resentment in their hearts.

Although Jia Amnesty didn't want to see Jia Zhenghao, he also felt that the Jia family had lost face, and of course he had a problem with Wang Ziteng.

Jia Lian had no choice but to think that he had told the Wang family anyway, and if it didn't work out in the end, the uncle of the Wang family would probably trouble Shi Zhongkui, who was also his niece and son-in-law, first.

Then a few people talked about how to pay for it.

Of course, Jia Amnesty wanted to use the money from the Rongguo Mansion's public account to buy it at first, but when Jia's mother said "that's fine", Jia Amnesty immediately understood that if the money from the public account was really used, all the peach trees would be in Jia's mother's hands from now on. .

He hurriedly changed his words and said 'no', then winked at Jia Zheng.

One of the two brothers agreed to give 10,000 taels of silver.

This is equal to the three principals of the Rongguo Mansion, one for each, which is considered fair.

As for Jia Zhen, it was even simpler.

Although Ningguo Mansion is a bit tighter, Jia Zhen can still take out 20,000 taels of silver casually.

When the Grand View Garden was built, not only one-third of the land was provided by the Ningguo Mansion, but Jia Zhen was forced to pay more than 10,000 taels of silver. After that, I didn't see any intention of saving from him.

Even because Jia Zhen is the only one who is in charge of the Ningguo Mansion, and all the rights are held by one hand, the Ningguo Mansion is far better financially than the Rongguo Mansion, which has more serious infighting and corruption.

However, it was Jia Zhen who really caused the trouble.

As for the Rongguo Mansion, the family that was short-lived almost had nothing to eat.

No, perhaps the real culprits are Yuan Chun and Wang Ziteng.

After the discussion, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian came to find Shi Zhongkui without delay with 4 taels of silver notes.

The money was collected, the contract was written, and some details were discussed back and forth several times, and the matter was considered a success.

However, Shi Zhongkui's promises were only made for 8 years.

That is to say, after 8 years, even if he doesn't give the Jia family peaches, there is no problem legally.

And this is calculated according to the income from the farmland, and the Jia family must not have suffered a loss, otherwise Jia's mother, Jia She and others would not agree.

But this is equivalent to the Jia family spending 4 taels of silver, and what they enjoy is 250 catties of peaches to eat every winter.

But Shi Zhongkui knew very well that after the Jia family got 250 catties of peaches every year, in addition to eating for themselves, let alone selling them, it was not enough to give away to their old relatives.

Some relatives even came to the door every year before the Chinese New Year to beat the autumn wind after they knew about it. Let alone 250 catties, even 500 catties were not enough.

Moreover, for the sake of face, the Jia family will definitely only grit their teeth and persist.

But Shi Zhongkui has definitely made a profit, which means he has found a customer who is willing to spend a lot of money every year to buy the peaches in his own space, and this customer has paid the money in one lump sum.

If this is changed to the time of the Celestial Dynasty, this kind of customers must flatter and flatter the comfortable big dogs.

So much so that he once again planted two peach trees in the space.

Twenty catties of ordinary peaches a day is 7300 catties a year.

Don't say that I just said that there are only ten peach trees, that is to say, 150 peach trees are enough.

Of course, this kind of product whose price is much higher than the normal price must not be sold more, otherwise they are not fools.

The extra ones can be made into candied fruit or kept in the spatial warehouse.

Jia Zhen asked with a smile, "My dear brother, since we have already negotiated, can this year's peaches be delivered in time?"

Shi Zhongkui looked at Jia Zhen in surprise, thinking that normal people must understand that this year's peaches have already been allocated.

At this time, ask yourself what you want, you are smart enough and can calculate.

But that's good too, you don't have to worry about cheating your money.

He said with a straight face, "Why don't you forget it?"

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui was obviously annoyed, Jia Lian hurriedly stood up and persuaded, "Brother, don't be angry, this is not the old lady, the elder, the master, and Brother Zhen's father, after eating the master Jing, I miss it a little.

Brother Zhen also said that out of filial piety. "

"Yes, yes, yes," Jia Zhen also stood up and saluted, "My dear brother, please forgive me, it's my brother's recklessness, here I will make an apology first."

Seeing Jia Zhen bowing deeply to him, Shi Zhongkui felt secretly refreshed.

Pretentiously sighing, "Hey, if it wasn't for the impending marriage and entering the officialdom, my younger brother would really be reluctant."

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian laughed secretly, they both felt that there was nothing wrong with Shi Zhongkui's words.

This is the same as the dignitaries and squires will never sell land unless they are forced to.

And only then did the two understand that Shi Zhongkui asked for money in order to have money to manage after entering the officialdom.

Thinking that the Jia family would have to pay several thousand taels each year just for eunuchs, big and small, the Jia Zhen brothers suddenly felt that Shi Zhongkui was helpless.

After all, there are some Shangguan who only like money.

Shi Zhongkui said again, "I just hope that my virtuous brother will compete with his family's children. When they are selected as scholars and candidates, they can think of a way to exchange the whole hot spring valley.

At that time, there is no need to worry about money anymore. "

Jia Lian's heart moved, and he took the opportunity to say, "Since my virtuous brother is short of money, why don't you go to Wang's house to mention it?"

Shi Zhongkui had a hundred wishes.

The Wang family is definitely richer than the Jia family.

But he knew in his heart that it would be abnormal if he didn't show anger at this time.

Pick up the tea bowl on the coffee table and take a sip, don't speak, take another sip, and simply close your eyes.

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian immediately understood that Shi Zhongkui was really annoyed.

As soon as they went out, Jia Zhen pulled Jia Lian and complained repeatedly, "Lian'er, you are too impatient, Boqian was a little reluctant, and now you want to take the remaining 5 peach trees from him.

We didn't beat our brothers out, it's already in the face of our relatives. "
