The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 129 Let's Continue to Wait

The news that the bus and carriage business will open tomorrow immediately spread to every corner of Rongning Second Mansion.

During this period of time, no matter whether it is the master or the servants, they have been almost out of breath by this errand, and now they finally have a result, so they are naturally very happy.The oppressive atmosphere pervading the mansion was swept away.

Therefore, the masters of each house rushed to the ancestor's place one after another, firstly to congratulate the old ancestor, and secondly to inquire about detailed information.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, the ancestor suddenly felt something was wrong.

"When did you hand over this business to Niu Jizong?"

Jia Mu asked Ping'er.

"I asked the fourth master about this, and the fourth master said that there is no need to explain it."

Seeing that Jia Min suddenly announced the opening tomorrow, Ping Er asked Jia Min.That's exactly what Jia Min said.

"If you don't hand over, where did the carriages come from? Are there so many carriages? Are there so many silver? Isn't it too late to make the carriages now?"

Although Jia Mu is over 70, she is not confused at all.

"I do not know."

"Go and call Brother Ming, I want to ask him carefully."

"Feng Ziying came, and Fourth Master went out with them."

"Where did you go, what did you do?"

"I went to the Gongyuan and took the maids to sell the locks."

"What? Did you sell the scorpion? And you took all the maids with you?"

Jia's mother was about to jump up. At this time, she was still in the mood to sell the locks?
Wang Xifeng stood up, she was not willing to let go of such an opportunity.

"That's right, just after lunch, Brother Min called all the big maids in each room, saying that he would lead them to the Gongyuan, where they would sell locks and see how the exams are done for the whole world. "

"Who has gone?"

"Qingwen, Fenghua, Xueyue from Brother Min, Muskyue from Baoyu, Xueyan from Miss Lin, Yinger from Miss Bao, Suyun from Sister-in-law Zhu, Caifeng from Yingchun, Tan The servant painting from Chun’s place, the chess player from Xichun’s place, Feng’er from my place, Jin Chuan’er from my wife’s place, and even the amber from my ancestor’s place.”

Wang Xifeng's memory is really good.

"Oh, no wonder I haven't seen Amber for so long, I thought this little hoof went crazy somewhere. Why is this brother Ming so bold, he took all the girls out, and no one of you stopped him ?”

"Who dares to stop him? He said it was dispatched by the three-person team. Could it be that the ancestors didn't know about this? Brother Ming, is he too bold?"

Given this opportunity, Wang Xifeng didn't mind taking the opportunity to give Jia Min some eye drops.

"Brother Feng, can I discuss something with you?"

"If the ancestors have something to say, just give them instructions, but don't say the word 'discussion'. I will naturally do whatever I ask you."

"It's not really an order. I just thought, don't call me Patriarch anymore. If you want to call me, just call me Pazu."

Everyone immediately looked at me and I looked at you, no one dared to say anything.

Seeing that no one was talking, Jia Mu also felt that what she said was boring, so she laughed twice.

"Forget it, I was just joking. Brother Ming, his behavior is confusing, and I'm just angry for a while. If it were you, wouldn't you be angry?"

"We are naturally going to be angry, and we are going to die."

Wang Xifeng made another shot.

"Forget it, Feng girl, don't be angry anymore, just tell him to make trouble."

What can I do if I don't ask him to toss?

"If the old lady isn't angry, we won't be angry either. I think Brother Min is good, he's a capable person, and that guy has started to make money."

This old lady, I just want you to be angry, so I can't be angry?Even though it's on probation, can't you just get angry in your heart?
Speaking of which, Wang Xifeng is really depressed recently.He wears a cover for probation, and he is often pointed at behind his back.

There are also some snobbish people who, seeing Jia Min gaining power, came to Jia Min for matters that should have been asked to Wang Xifeng in the past.

As for matters within Wang Xifeng's scope of authority, Wang Xifeng had already obtained an order, but he still had to come to Jia Min to ask for instructions, which made Jia Min very troubled.

In fact, although Jia Min hit Wang Xifeng, he didn't mean to deprive her of all her rights.

Although Wang Xifeng is greedy for money, the butler is still a good hand.As long as you cut off the hands that make money, you can still use a talent.

Jia Min took the maids to the Gongyuan to sell locks, not just to make money.The main thing is to ask them to broaden their minds.

The locks brought this time are mainly those with auspicious heads.For example, those with the words "Lianzhong Sanyuan" and the words "Jinshi Jidi" on it, the most are the words "Zhong".

The "Zhong" character is actually the simplest to weave, but it can be sold for a lot of money.

Tomorrow is the last exam of the government. Tonight, the examinees will come to the Gong Yuan to enter, and they will live in the exam room at night.

Before the candidates enter the venue, they come to sell this kind of auspicious lock, and many people will ask for auspiciousness and buy one.

Jia Min just wanted them to see for themselves how big the profit margins are.After they go back, the masters will naturally ask about it.In this way, the information is conveyed to the masters through the mouths of the maids.Let them realize that a small lock can also make a lot of money.

This method is much more effective than Jia Min's own propaganda.

As for the opening of the bus carriage tomorrow, he didn't worry about it at all, he just left it to Feng Ziying to handle it.

In fact, after the two came out of Jia's mansion, Feng Ziying went to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to inform the Yin of Shuntian Mansion that the bus and carriage would open tomorrow.

Although opening a business is a good thing, the doubts in Shuntian Fu Yin's heart are getting heavier and heavier.

"It's a good thing to open, but you haven't handed over to Niu Jizong yet?"

"Don't worry about the handover. Tomorrow is August [-]th, which is both a festival and an auspicious day. It will be tomorrow."

"Where did your carriage come from?"

"Master Fu Yin may have also heard that we are still handling the matter of long-distance carriages, so we took the carriages there and used them here first. Isn't this the end?"

"Won't there be a ceremony or something?"

"Brother Min means that this business is a money-losing business, so the ceremony will not be held, and it is better to open it quickly. It is important to complete the emperor's order, so I leave."

Jia Min once told Feng Ziying, as long as the notification reaches Shuntian Fu Yin, don't talk to him too much.

Although Feng Ziying didn't know what Jia Min's intentions were, she also knew that Jia Min's explanation was always justified, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left to save the governor from asking more questions.I asked too many questions, and Feng Ziying couldn't answer them.

Although he already knew about Jia Min's plan, he didn't know if it would be successful.

The night of August [-]th was a restless night for the masters of each house in Jia's house.

The reasons for this restlessness are mainly three elements.

One is that the bus and carriage business will open tomorrow.This is a major event related to the future and destiny of the Jia family.It stands to reason that this is the beginning of fulfilling the emperor's order, and it is considered a good thing anyway.

However, due to the uncertainty of this matter, they are now plunged into more anxiety.

The reason is very simple, that is, I don't know what drama Jia Min will play tomorrow.He doesn't have anything in his hand, when the time comes, how will he sing this play?

At the same time, even if tomorrow's play is sung, what should I do in the future, just fill in money every day?When is it a head?Can you afford it?

So the excitement of hearing about the opening in the afternoon was replaced by apprehension.

The second thing, which is considered a good thing, is that today those maids went out to the Gong Yuan to sell their locks and made money.Prove it's a good business.

But then came the problem.Even if you earn money, what can you do?Can't you fill it in the bus?

Once again, Mother Jia wanted to ask someone to ask Jia Min for questioning, but after thinking about it, she gave up.She knew that it was useless to ask, Jia Min must have made up her mind to deal with her, so don't bother with that.

Little bastard, you think I'm willing to take care of it, isn't there no other way?

Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen, and Ma Shangde sat together, unhappy.This time, they didn't drink alcohol or go to a brothel, but stayed at Niu Jizong's house.

Now, they have got the news that Jia Min will open tomorrow.However, Jia Min has not come to them to discuss the acceptance until now.

"If you ask me, Jia Min shouldn't have been pushed out in the first place. If it wasn't for that, how would we be here today? Then Jia Lao Si is the most calculating person. How could we have calculated him?"

Among the four, Ma Shangde has the hottest temper.When he first started the bus and carriage business, he didn't quite agree to push Jia Min out.

However, because the four of them have always entered and exited together, he had no choice but to obey when others agreed.

Later, the business became more and more unsatisfactory until it could no longer survive.Marchand also regretted it more and more.Originally, he had hoped that he would be able to sell this time and get his money back, but who knew, Jia Min just wouldn't take the bait.

Now, seeing that it will open tomorrow, Jia Min is naturally in a hurry before he comes to talk to them.

"This fourth Jia, is he playing bluff again?"

Chen Ruiwen asked eagerly.

"It's already at this time, what tricks can he play? Didn't the Fu Yin say everything, he moved the long-distance carriage here."

"But, there are only a few cars, not enough."

Among the four of them, Liu Fang was always regarded as a think tank. Now that Liu Fang hadn't spoken, Chen Ruiwen couldn't draw any conclusions.

"Don't worry, let Brother Liu think about it."

Liu Fang figured it out, so she didn't need to think about it any more.

"Tell me, why did Mr. Jia open five days earlier?"

Yes, there was not enough time in the first place, why did he advance a few days?It appears that this is the key issue.

Everyone looked at Liu Fang, hoping he would give an answer.

"So, Jia Laosi is still bluffing, he is forcing us to find him."

Liu Fang said the answer.

"Then what do we do?"

Niu Jizong actually already had the answer in his heart, but he wanted to wait for Liu Fang to say it.

"Let's continue to wait until he comes to us."
