Chapter 1355 Xin Zijuan The Shameless Man in the Grass and Trees in the Setting Sun
When Yuanyang passed by the old man’s yard, he could hear the old man cursing.
"This kid really doesn't know how high the sky is, how can I still harm him?" Jia She's hoarse and unwilling voice almost penetrated the wall, "I'm just here to show my goodwill, even if you don't want to talk to me, just have a meal What's wrong with wine? Just listen to what others say... Besides, isn't there a need for bargaining in business? You don't even have the patience to listen to what conditions others say?"
Yuanyang looked around with some confusion. There was no one there. It seemed that no guests came to the house today. He didn't know who the old man was talking about, but his words didn't seem to be too mean, just a little angry. The smell of hate and regret is inside.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Qiu Tong coming out of the yard. Yuanyang didn't like this girl in Jia She's house very much. Although she was a bit pretty, she knew she was a mean person just by looking at her thin lips and sharp nose. , not getting along well with the maids in the mansion.
However, before Yuanyang squeaked, Qiu Tong saw Yuanyang at a glance. A flattering smile appeared on his face, and he trotted over: "Miss Yuanyang."
"Sister Qiu Tong, who are you talking about, sir, to make him angry so early in the morning?" Seeing Qiu Tong's mysterious face, he knew that the other party was waiting for him to ask. He didn't want to ask, but he felt that he shouldn't ask. This sentence seemed to ignore the other party's "good intentions", so Yuanyang just asked casually.
"Hey, who else could it be? The girl should know it, but it's not Uncle Feng." Qiu Tong said flatteringly.
"Ah? Uncle Feng? Why did Uncle Feng provoke the elder again?" Yuanyang was shocked.
In her impression, the eldest master didn't have a good attitude toward anyone, and he had a sullen look on the younger generation. The servants in the house were a little reluctant to come to his yard, just because they were afraid of being touched. His bad luck caused trouble.
In this house, I am afraid that only the ancestor can still control him, and everyone else, even the second master, has to give him some credit.
But Uncle Feng is an exception. Every time Uncle Feng comes to the house, the elder seems to be very willing to accompany him. If the second master does not inform him, he will have to go to the second master in a strange way, and when he sees Uncle Feng His attitude was also extremely "caring" and "kind". Second Master Lian had never been treated like this in front of him.
"It seems that the master was not in a good mood when he came back from the Feng Mansion. I don't know what happened specifically." How could Qiu Tong dare to inquire more?
Earlier, my wife echoed a few words on the side, and she was scolded by the master. Who dares to persuade me?
Of course Yuanyang would not ask, but she was very confused in her heart. Every time Uncle Feng came to the house, the boss was always smiling. Why did he suddenly change his attitude now?
There has been a rumor in this house that the eldest man intends to regret his marriage. He had already promised verbally to the eldest son of the Sun family, and even received a lot of money from the Sun family. Now he said that he would also give the second girl to Uncle Feng as his concubine, but This rumor has not been confirmed. Even the ancestor and the second wife kept silent about it. However, based on Yuanyang's observation, the ancestor and the second wife should actually know about it, but no one would mention it. After all, this No one has raised it publicly.
Jia She was indeed angry.
The matter of Xishan Kiln is not a secret among the noble families in the capital city, but the Jia family has no chance to get involved. Among the four princes and twelve princes, there are only more than 20 people from the Qin family of Nan'an County, the Liu family of Li Guogong, and the Chen family of Qi Guogong. I jumped in when I had the opportunity years ago.
At that time, no one took the Xishan charcoal kiln seriously and felt that it would be a waste to rush to open a kiln in the mountains. Who would have thought that the skyrocketing price of charcoal in the past 20 years would lead to large-scale charcoal production in the city? of coal use, and the amount is growing significantly every year.
Although charcoal is not as convenient and easy to use as firewood, the price is much cheaper. The key is that in addition to the palace, there is also a large area of Tiewang Mountain as a special firewood forest around the capital city. There are not many forests left that can provide firewood, and even if there are, they are in remote mountain valleys. It would cost a lot to transport them after cutting them down, which is not cost-effective.
Nowadays, almost everyone in the capital has switched to using coal for burning, and the Xishan kiln entrance has suddenly become a hot commodity. In the past ten years, the price of Suihe coal has risen steadily, and the price at the kiln entrance has risen to sky-high prices. Even so, it is basically No one is willing to transfer these kiln entrances, because everyone knows that they are hens that lay golden eggs, and they generate steady and considerable profits every year. Who is willing to transfer them easily?
After Feng Ziying became the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, news began to spread that Feng Ziying wanted to rectify the Xishan kiln entrance. Some people were willing to transfer the kiln entrance, which had always been priceless and unmarketable. Although the price was still extremely expensive, if someone could transfer it, then it would be a good idea. It was different. Jia She was just envious and never thought about it.
Who would have thought that someone would come to Jia She's door, hoping to buy shares at a low price? , naturally it has a purpose, but the temptation is too great. Knowing that there may be bait with a hook, Jia She wants to swallow it.
It’s just a meal anyway. As long as you, Feng Ziying, feel embarrassed, no matter how fantastic people say it, you just don’t respond or agree. Who dares to force you to do anything?
Why not do such a good thing?
I thought that this kind of thing would be easy for Feng Ziying, but I thought that I would rush to the door to talk about it, but be rejected by the other party without any room for maneuver. How could this not make Jia She angry?
"Three or four families have already made the same offer. They are willing to give Ziying one thousand taels of silver just to attend the banquet. If I can facilitate Ziying's trip, no matter what the result is, these three to four thousand taels of silver will be guaranteed." It’s because the Xishan Kiln thing is too involved and we won’t get involved, but there’s no reason not to earn this cheap money, right?”
Jia She was still unwilling to give in. It was worse than killing him to keep the fat in his mouth. This Ziying was too abominable. No, I had to make him agree to it no matter what.
Seeing Jia She's expression changing, Mrs. This also left her wondering what to do.
"You said how to get Ziying to participate in this matter. I don't care what the outcome is, but I have to earn these thousands of taels of silver. No matter what tricks are used, I will not earn the money that is sent to me for no reason. This is not Neither the Procuratorate nor the Longjing Lieutenant will be able to deal with anything that is harmful to nature or treasonous. I will definitely earn this money."
Jia She said fiercely.
Xingshi said cautiously: "Then why don't we find an excuse to trick Ziying over?"
"Hmph, how can people come to our mansion for a treat? If they were outside, how could smart people like Ziying not understand?" Jia She said angrily: "Can't you come up with some reliable ideas? "
Mr. Xing was as silent as a cicada, not daring to say anything more.
Jia She also knew that the other party definitely had no good solution and had to rely on himself.
The question is how to get Feng Ziying and the others to meet with them?
Even if you don't have the wine, let them meet and talk a few words, you can achieve your goal, and you can earn thousands of taels of silver.
After pondering for a long time, Jia She rubbed his chin, twirled a few beards, and made up his mind, "What do you think about asking Xiuyan to help?"
"Xiuyan? How can Xiuyan help?" Ms. Xing was surprised.
"I'm going to go talk to Ziying now. Ziying is afraid that he will become suspicious, and even if he invites him to come, he will be rejected. But to put it another way, I would like to think that your brother was detained because of gambling debts. You, let Xiuyan go and attract Ziying, and take the opportunity to talk about the matter..."
"Can Ziying come?" Ms. In the Shuntian government office, it is enough to arrange a random inspection to arrest the head.
"Hmph, if Ziying is an ordinary person, she will naturally not come forward, but Xiuyan, that day I promised him to be my concubine, and he did not object, which means that he is still interested in Xiuyan. Now Xiuyan encounters such a situation The big thing is just a debt, he can solve it with just a little effort, so he is not willing to sell Xiuyan to save face?"
Jia She said coldly: "I don't want Xiuyan to know the inside story. You and I can act the best and make Xiuyan anxious. If you come up with the idea again, take Xiuyan to find Ziying. I still know Ziying." Yes, I don’t want to see beautiful women. Since Xiuyan is interested, he just wants to be in his name and say a few more good words, and he will not refuse..."
Mr. Xing's eyes also lit up, and he was quite moved: "Well, the master is right, but my brother also owes so much debt to the outside world. Please ask the master to help me when the time comes..."
Jia She suddenly became a little impatient, but thinking that Xing Xiuyan had to come forward in this matter, he thought for a while and said: "I know about this matter. When the time comes, there will naturally be arrangements. Besides, if Xiuyan marries Feng Mansion, those Xu Yinzi don’t matter, I’m afraid Ziying will naturally take care of these bad debts without us having to step forward..."
After all, he still only wanted to use Xing Xiuyan, but he refused to repay Xing Zhong's debt.
