Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 282 Where is Qingwen 3

Wanyan'a had never seen such a beautiful garden. She felt as if she had entered a fairyland. She excitedly took several accompanying Jurchen girls to clean up the house. Baochai and Daiyu also went to teach her how to place and use various things.

Baoyu also ran over to join in the fun, but was frightened back by the vicious barking of two thin dogs.

Jia Huan laughed loudly. He was carrying Jia Cong's sword. The vicious dog recognized the smell and let him in with its tail wagging.

Jia Cong took a look at the layout and furnishings of the Qingtang hut, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Sister Bao, Mei'er, I'll leave it to you when I first come here. I have to go out beforehand, and arrange two people here for me." Let’s have a banquet, and I’ll invite my sisters and sisters-in-law to serve as hosts tonight.”

"You go and do your work. Sister Weier will be settled later, and we will show her around and recognize her." Baochai said with a smile.

Jia Cong nodded and went out to meet everyone who had been waiting for him in Rongxi Hall.

Seeing Jia Cong come out, Jia Yun, Yan Fei, and Qian Lao are the stewards of the three major wineries, the young men Wangcai, the Zhaocai family, the Zhaobao family, the two little girls Ling'er, Dang'er and other old friends are busy kneeling down and kowtow. : "See uncle."

"Everyone, get up." Jia Cong sat down and raised his hand slightly.

"Third Master, just now the servants have been watching and have packed up the five main rooms of Rongxi Hall, the three east and west wing rooms, and the east and west wing rooms. They have also cleaned up all the things that belonged to the master and his wife. Everything on display should be new.

Qingwen and Qianxue's things have also been moved here and arranged. Please give me your instructions. "

The four people from the Zhaocai family, Zhaobao family, Ling'er, and Dang'er were busy showing their merits, with airs on their faces. Now that Third Master Cong is successful, the servants in the house like them will also follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.

As soon as the news came out, even the stewards and the steward's wives, who usually had a high profile in the family, were very polite to them, for fear of offending them and ending up like Grandma Jiang.

"Yes, I understand. Just go down and you will still serve in this room from now on."

"My slave, please retire. Thank you Third Master for your kindness." The four of them were overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed and left.

Wangcai slowed down a step, letting them speak, and said hurriedly: "Master, I have prepared all the things for my practice. They are exactly the same as before. Please give me your instructions."

Jia Cong smiled slightly and said, "Well, will you be my servant again from now on?"

"I'm willing to do it ten thousand times, and I'll give you my face. I'll be willing to die for you." Wang Caixi was heartbroken and kowtowed repeatedly to see if those bastards like Mingyan, Xing'er, and Li Gui dared to show off in front of me. .

"Just get down."

Jia Cong sent his servants away, thought for a while, and said: "Shuang Ying, send people to Zhuangzi to summon 600 soldiers and all the Jurchen tribesmen to come and place them everywhere.

Let the Jurchen people dress up as Han people, wrap up their weapons and armor, and not show off in public. The rest of them stayed behind and trained in Zhuangzi. They were not allowed to show their heavy armor to others on weekdays. "

Although these heavy armors were all distributed by the Liaodong garrison yamen to the "Xiang Yong" and were well-documented, so they could not be regarded as private possession of weapons. However, Shenjing was different from other places, so there was no harm in being careful.

"Yes!" Yan Shuangying took the order and left.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Brother Yun, Mr. Yan, and Mr. Qian, we haven't seen each other for three years, how about that?"

The three people hurriedly said: "Thanks to Mr. Tuobo, everything is good."

"How's business?"

Jia Yun hurriedly took out a folded paper abbreviation and said: "To return to my third uncle, in the past three years, Shenxian Zui and Peach Blossom Zui have been selling well all over the country. We have also made new wines such as Lierihuo, Qingquan Niang, Nuerxiang, etc., and the business of the winery has been booming day by day. , the winery in Zhuangzi was also expanded twice, and thousands of male and female villagers were making wine there, all under strict management.

Nowadays, schools, medical clinics, restaurants, cloth shops, breeding farms, etc. have been built in Zhuangzi. They are all run by the own villagers and no outsiders are allowed to come in. The wine-making villagers live and die in Zhuangzi, ensuring that the wine-making recipes will never be leaked out. Currently, the winery’s monthly net profit is around 200 million taels. Please take a look at it. "

After speaking, he took out a thick account book and presented it to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong took it and put it aside and said with a smile: "I don't expect you to do so well. Does that mean I'm getting rich?"

Jia Yun said respectfully: "Going back to Third Uncle, my nephew thought that there were too many banknotes and he was worried about his safety, so he asked Aunt Bao's advice to build a large treasury in Zhuangzi.

In the past three years, fifty million pieces of silver and gold have been successively exchanged and stored in Zhuangzi. They have all been cast into silver ingots and gold bricks. Please take a look, uncle. In addition, more than 200 million yuan in silver notes were placed with Aunt Bao, and more than 500 million yuan in liquid funds were placed in the wine shop. "

"Okay." Jia Cong nodded and said, "You guys did a really good job."

The three of them hurriedly expressed their humility.

"Brother Yun, I really saw you right."

Jia Yun hurriedly bowed and said: "My uncle is very kind to my nephew. My mother often said that if you don't work for your uncle wholeheartedly, God will not allow you."

Therefore, my nephew does not dare to slack off for a day. It is all thanks to the foundation laid by his uncle in the officialdom and the great help of Mr. Yan and Brother Qian that we are in today's situation. Yunshi does not dare to take credit. "

"Well, the golden sea and the Milky Way pass through your hands every day. It's very valuable to keep your original intention. You go down and get ten thousand silver each, and each winery worker gets ten taels of silver. I'll reward you."

"Thank you uncle for the reward." The three of them said happily.

After sending away Yan Fei and Boss Qian, Jia Cong left Jia Yun behind and said, "You have been in the capital for a long time. Do you have any talents in the clan now?"

Jia Yun thought for a while and said: "Jia Lan and Jia Jun are two boys who are good at studying. They will definitely make great achievements in the future. They are still young now. Jia Fang of Qifang has a dignified and simple character. He has been selected as a scholar. Next year He is about to take the provincial examination. Jia Xuan, Jia Wen, Jia Jia, Jia Kui, Jia Wei, Jia Mang, Jia Miao, etc. are all smart and responsible people, but because their families are poor and have no connections, they cannot enter the clan school. He has missed the age of studying, but he is quite capable in doing things."

Jia Cong nodded, that's right. There are at least a thousand people in the Jia family in the capital. They can't all be bastards. There are always some good ones.

Because he said: "If you think the people in the clan are suitable for you, you might as well support them, but the ugly thing is ahead of you. If the people you promote turn out to be bad, you will not be able to escape from the faults of unclear understanding of people and lax discipline. Do you understand?"

"Yes, third uncle, don't worry, my nephew understands."

"In addition, those poor people in the clan, those who are widowed, lonely, old, weak, sick and disabled, might as well provide more support. Children who have no books to study should be sent to the clan school. If anyone asks, just say it was me."

"Yes. My nephew took note of it."

"Well, I heard that some tribesmen and stewards colluded with green-skinned gangsters on the street under the banner of the Duke's government, and committed evil crimes. They are used to committing crimes and committing crimes, and the government dare not take care of them, right?"

Jia Yun said: "I dare not hide it from my uncle. My nephew has heard many of these words, but the inside story is not clear."

Jia Cong sneered. He had known for a long time that the Jia family's family tradition was not good, but he had not spared his hands yet. He would clean up these bastards in a few days.

After sending Jia Yun away, Jia Cong went back to the spacious and luxurious main bedroom of Rongxi Hall and took a nap. He woke up at the last moment, lifted the quilt, and stood up.

Standing barefoot on a thick and soft Isfahan carpet woven with flowers, birds and trees, the three-legged cauldron with gilt copper and Taotie patterns in the room is burning spiced silver frost charcoal. It is as warm as spring and has a pleasant fragrance, which is different from the cold winter outside. Like two heavens and earth.

"Third Master, are you awake?" Two little girls, Ling'er and Dang'er, who were on duty at the side, hurriedly fetched clothes.

Jia Cong waved his hand, wearing only a pair of shorts, and stood in front of the huge full-length mirror and took a picture. He looked at the slim waist, broad shoulders, long legs, eight-pack abs, and a wheat-colored body with knotted muscles in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction. , I have not endured hardship in vain these past few years, and my body shape is almost the same as in my previous life.

"Third Master, it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, be careful not to catch a cold." Ling'er persuaded while holding her clothes.

Jia Cong said, "Is it as cold in Shenjing as in Liaodong? I dared to swim in the glacier in Liaodong in the winter. What does that mean?" He hooked his fingers and said with a smile: "Look at my body, don't you two want it?" Greedy? Don’t lie."

"Third Master is bullying people." Ling'er and Dang'er were only twelve or thirteen years old, so they couldn't resist such harsh words. Their faces immediately turned red and they turned away, not daring to look at him.

"It's already dark, haven't you gotten up yet?" Someone laughed from the door, and Sister Feng had already walked in.

"Ouch! You bastard, you don't have any clothes on." Sister Feng suddenly saw Jia Cong's toned body and felt embarrassed, so she hurriedly covered her face and looked away.

Jia Cong acted as if nothing had happened and said with a smile: "It's obviously you who broke into my house without permission. Why do you still blame me? After looking at my body, I haven't found you yet." Then he stretched out his hand and asked the two girls to dress him.

Sister Feng turned her back and said angrily: "I heard that you were going to host something, so I rushed over to call you because I was worried that you might have slept in. Is it wrong? You didn't have anyone watching outside the house, so why are you blaming me?"

There are more than twenty girls in Baoyu's room, and your uncle only has two little girls to serve him. It's too unseemly. "

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Too many people talk and talk, which is troublesome. It's better to have fewer people. I don't have as many troubles as Baoyu here. It's enough to wait for Qingwen and Qianxue to come back."

Sister Feng heard the rustling sound of dressing behind her, and Jia Cong's strong body could not help but come to mind again. She blushed and said hurriedly: "I'll go out and wait for you. Hurry up, the sisters are all here." .”

Jia Cong chuckled and agreed. Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng, who was always aggressive, could also be shy sometimes.

After getting dressed and washing up, Jia Cong followed Sister Feng to the garden.

Seeing the blush on Sister Feng's cheeks, Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "I accidentally looked at my sister-in-law once, and my sister-in-law looked at me once. It just happened to offset the two. No one owes the other."

"Bah, it's your mother's shame. I'm just too lazy to look at you." Sister Feng said angrily, her teeth itching with hatred in her heart. This shameless and dirty little thief, dare I say it was accidental? Did you accidentally climb on the rockery to watch?

Why is Jia Cong still afraid of her now? He smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Feng, when will Sister Ping'er give it to me? Now I really lack someone like her by my side to take care of my internal affairs. Just say whatever you want."

When Sister Feng heard this, she felt angry and sneered: "You can move a mountain of gold and never expect me to give you Ping'er."

Jia Cong frowned slightly: "Didn't we agree before? Sister-in-law Feng regretted it again?"

"Who made the deal with you?" Sister Feng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just wait and wait. Ping'er is my treasure. It won't be too late when I think about what I want to exchange with you."

Jia Cong said helplessly: "Sister-in-law Feng, please think of it quickly. Brother, we are waiting for someone to use it urgently."

"Bah, just like your brother, he has taken in two aunts, and he is still starving to death. Have you never seen a woman in your last life?" said Sister Feng.

"Where are you thinking, am I that kind of person?" Jia Cong said.

Sister Feng snorted coldly, showed a "you are it" expression, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have given you this girl Ping'er in the past few years, and I promise to give you a clean slate when the time comes. How are you doing?"

"Brother, just listen to your sister-in-law." Jia Cong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had no choice but to obey Wang Xifeng, who was so cruel.
