Chapter 18: Learning from his father

Jia Rong also got some secret information from Lai Sheng. It turned out that our dynasty first launched an uprising in the Yan region, and the first thing they targeted was the vast fertile land of the Black Mountains in the northeast. They killed various Jurchen tribes and then rewarded them for their merits.

The Black Mountains in the Northeast are all divided into large areas of land.

Therefore, the Heishan village land is the largest piece of land owned by Ningguo Mansion, and it is also the main source of income for Ningguo Mansion. In comparison, Shenjing has less land and more officials, and the government is divided into houses for consumption, so the remaining hectares outside the capital can only be regarded as

Thin ground.

"Brother Rong!"

Jia Yun's voice suddenly came from behind the carriage.

Jia Rong lifted the curtain and took a look, and saw Jia Yun riding a horse to catch up. He pointed to a village not far away and said, "In front is the brick kiln of our Jia family."

Looking in the direction that Jia Yun pointed, there was indeed a village there. There were not many houses, but there were quite a few. It stood in a large field. Although it was in the countryside, it still looked prosperous.

"Is this the land of the Liufang family?"

"Brother Rong misunderstood, this is clan farmland." Jia Yun explained, "The surrounding fields were donated by successive masters of Ning and Rong mansions when they ascended the throne, to provide relief to the poor, to provide relief to orphans and widows, and to assist clan members.

A land of support for people who study and prepare for exams.”

"So, when I ascend to the throne, I will have to donate a piece of land?"

"It doesn't have to be here. For example, Mr. She bought a piece of land in Jinling and donated it." Jia Yun said with a smile, "Brother Rong, do you want to go to the tribe's Yi Village?"

Yizhuang?

The first thing that came to Jia Rong's mind was the house where the coffins were kept. Even though she shook her head in refusal, what's so interesting about a pile of coffin boards?

Brother Qiang also rode up at this moment and said: "Brother Rong, let's go and have a look. By the way, we also want to see who has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's guts, and dared to shout out a few thousand taels to buy it."

Here’s the brick money.”

Jia Qiang is also depressed. He has lived in Ningguo Mansion for more than ten years and has never touched hundreds of taels of silver. Now when he works for Brother Rong, he only gets a few taels of errand money. Now some people ask for a few taels of silver.

Qianliang, let alone Brother Rong, he was annoyed when he heard it.

In the yizhuang outside Jia's capital, Jia Qian and Jia Qin were drinking tea leisurely, still waiting for Jia Yun to send money.

"When the money comes, my nephew will get 40%."

"It depends on how much money he can get from Jia Rong. There is no rush. Our uncle and nephew will plan slowly. The best thing is to get tens of thousands of taels of silver from Ningguo Mansion."

When Jia Qin heard the words "ten thousand taels of silver", her eyes lit up and she nodded. "The Ningguo Mansion is rich. Mr. Zhen spent thousands of taels on women in the past few days. Uncle Qian should listen to what happened yesterday."

Alright."

"Who in the clan doesn't know that Mr. Zhen bought a new concubine yesterday and was trying new tricks in pursuit of excitement. As a result, his roots were burned. Life or death is unknown now. Will he wake up or not?

question."

"He deserves it. He knows how to play with women every day. This is great. Even if he wakes up, his stubbornness will not be used." Jia Qin gritted her teeth, as if she had some deep hatred for Jia Zhen.

When Jia Qin saw Jia Qin like this, he was shocked. He said dumbly: "Brother Qin? Could it be that you were..."

Jia Qin's fair and tender little face turned red, and she quickly waved her hands to deny: "My nephew is not a coward like Jia Qiang. Besides, I don't go to Ning Mansion, I just can't stand him. I was just in the ancestral hall a few days ago.

If I received a few taels of silver by mistake, I would be scolded by him, which was so disgusting."

The two got chatting and had no idea that Jia Rong and others had already entered Yizhuang and listened to their conversation. Brother Qiang in the crowd was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to rush in and beat someone.

Jia Yun's face was very ashamed. Jia Qin and he lived in the same third room and were direct cousins.

Brother Rong smiled and said, "Let's hear what they have to say."

I heard the two people inside talking a few more words, and finally the topic turned to Jia Rong.

"Brother Rong from Dongfu has the same temperament as his master. He is unfaithful and abandons etiquette. If his master is not clear with Jia Qiang, he may not be clean. If Brother Rong wants to make a prescription now, isn't it Jia Qiang who he is looking for?

, Jia Yun? One is as beautiful as a flower, and the other has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. I have imitated him."



The people outside the house were exceptionally quiet.

No.

To be precise, it's silence.

Jia Rong had a cold face, while Jia Qiang and Jia Yun's expressions were not much better either. However, Jia Rong did not move, and Qiang Yun did not dare to move either.

At this time, Jia Qin's laughter was heard, "No wonder I always see Brother Rong and Brother Qiang hanging around every time I go to Ningguo Mansion. It turns out that both father and son have this hobby. Fortunately, it's a pity.

My cousin."

Jia Juan asked again: "Is it you?"

"Uncle Jian is overthinking it." Jia Qin sighed deliberately and said, "With Brother Rong's small body, even if he has an idea, can I still let him succeed?"

"In my opinion, Brother Rong, like Jia Qiang, is lying down. It's not what he wants to do to you, but what he wants you to do to him."

Jia Rong turned to Lai Sheng, who was sweating profusely, and forced a few words out of his mouth.

"Manager Lai, did you hear all these words clearly?"

Lai Sheng nodded repeatedly. Brother Rong was already in a bad mood, and he was still spreading slander here. The two unlucky guys were going to be robbed. I just hope that when I go to Zhuangzi later, those people will know more about each other and don't let this fire last.

They even burned it to their home.

Jia Rong finally understood why everyone said that Ning Mansion had a bad reputation. It was one thing that Ning Mansion itself was dirty, but the key was also the fact that these side branches spread rumors every day.

Jia Rong can't understand this kind of mentality. If you make Ningguo Mansion have a bad reputation, what benefits can you get? Ningguo Mansion has a bad reputation, so you people who rely on Ningguo Mansion for a living can have a good reputation?

If you spread rumors every day, will you get rich or become an official?

Even if someone gave them five copper coins every time a rumor was spread, Jia Rong would feel better.

Just as he was about to lead everyone in, he heard Jia Juan's loud laughter again, and the hand that pushed the door stopped in mid-air.

"I haven't heard of Brother Qin even though I live in the back street? The news is too uninformed. I think before Jia Lian's wife married, Brother Rong followed Sister Feng and waited for Jia Lian and Sister Feng to get married. They...eh

Hee hee, we come and go more frequently."

"Ah? Hahaha... Poor Uncle Lian. He steals his aunt every day, but he didn't expect that there is someone who steals his aunt."

The laughter of the two people was like a mountain stream with endless echoes, surrounding the sky above Yizhuang.

It's just that they smiled and stopped laughing.

"Rong...Rong...Brother Rong, you...you...why are you here?" Jia Qin suddenly jumped up from her seat when she saw Jia Rong and others. She lost all her soul and was stunned on the spot.

Jia Ju also stopped smiling long ago. Although he was considered an elder of Jia Rong according to the genealogy, he was still too far away to recognize him. His identity as the uncle of Dongfu was there. In this situation, he ran into each other face to face, and he was sweating coldly.

Qin and Qian didn't know whether Brother Rong had heard what they just said. One was horrified, while the other pretended to be calm.

Jia Qian said: "Brother Rong, when did you come? Just in time, I just discussed with Jia Qin to let him build the temple later. You can use the bricks from the clan's free kiln first."
