Chapter 40 Changes

"Who is it? It's already night, if you have nothing to do, go home!"

Aunt Chun asked Tieniu while winking, telling him to prepare to block the door in case of an unexpected incident.

Tieniu and Zhuzhu also stood up and looked for things around them that they could handle.

But I heard a chuckle coming from outside the door, saying: "Li Jin, the young leader of the Jinsha Gang, has come to pay a visit to Brother Jia."

When Aunt Chun heard this, she immediately hesitated. If it had been anyone else, she would have kicked them out a long time ago, but the Jinsha Gang was different.

It's not that he's afraid of his power, but that the Jinsha Gang is now considered a financial backer, and they raise money from his family without hesitation...

However, thinking of Jia Qiang's tired state, Aunt Chun finally shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, my brother Qiang fell asleep right after he came back from the street outside. How about you come back tomorrow?"

Unexpectedly, Li Jin outside the door did not give up, but said in a more solemn voice: "Please go and tell Brother Jia that Li has an urgent matter to discuss, which is related to whether our business can continue."

.”

Aunt Chun was startled when she heard this, her face changed, and she hurriedly said: "Open the door quickly, open the door quickly." Then she said to Liu Da Niu: "Go and tell your brother, the young leader of the Jinsha Gang is here, saying that the business is going to be bad.

!”



"what's the situation?"

Jia Qiang rubbed her eyebrows and came out of the hanging flower door wearing a thin shirt. When she saw Li Jin standing under the corridor, she asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

Liu Da Niu beside him was startled when he saw Li Jin opposite him, then blushed and lowered his head, turned around and went back to the second door.

If she hadn't become immune after looking at Jia Qiang's face that was more handsome than a girl all day long, Liu Da Niu would have been stunned.

Li Jin and Jia Qiang are different in their handsomeness. Jia Qiang is as handsome as jade but still heroic.

Li Jin is beautiful, his eyebrows are not sword eyebrows, his eyes are not star pupils, and his nose is not a sword bone. However, although his appearance is not heroic, his demeanor is full of the spirit of a young hero. These two complement each other and make Jia Qiang very attractive.

It's even better than that.

Liu Da Niu turned back to the second door, her heart still pounding, thinking that the old saying is indeed true, birds of a feather flock together, Qiang'er was born so handsome, none of her friends around her were ugly. Then look at the iron

None of them are born well, so their friends around them all look strange...

After Liu Da Niu entered the second door, Aunt Chun, Liu Laoshi and others also moved away.

They are old people who have been in the docks where dragons and snakes are mixed for many years. They know the rules best. They can make noises on weekdays, but when Jia Qiang talks about business, they all know how to get out of the way.

"sit."

After Jia Qiang sat down on a stone bench, she invited Li Jin to sit down.

He picked up a tea cup from the stone table, poured half a cup and pushed it to Li Jin, poured a full cup for himself, and drank it all.

Seeing that he was like this, he was completely different from his calm demeanor a few days ago. Li Jin was also curious and asked: "What happened to Brother Jia?"

Hearing this, Jia Qiang glanced sideways at him and asked again: "What happened?"

Li Jin has no temper with Jia Qiang. Although with his skills, he can kill a scholar who has no strength in his hands, but the entire Jinsha Gang is now holding Jia Qiang's job, how can he dare to fall out?

Li Jin stopped talking and went straight to the point: "Brother Jia, a noble man has taken a fancy to the barbecue business and wants to invest in it."

"Noble?"

Hearing these two words, Jia Qiang twitched her lips and asked, "How expensive is it?"

Li Jin said helplessly: "It's the Huai'an Marquis Mansion. Hua An, the young prince of the Huai'an Marquis Mansion, is interested in it, so he sent the housekeeper here."

Jia Qiang frowned and said, "How does he want to become a shareholder?"

Li Jin shook his head and said: "Two hundred taels of silver, buy 30% of the shares."

Jia Qiang smiled when he heard this and said: "Fortunately, I didn't take twenty taels of silver, and I have to leave 80%. Did you see that the Jinsha Gang has more rules than you?"

Li Jin's face turned red when he heard this, and he argued: "Brother Jia only had one oven on Xiangzhu Street at the beginning. Although I want more, I can guarantee that brother Jia's income will only be ten times more than before. But Huai'an Marquis Mansion is different.

Nowadays, the scale of Jinsha Barbecue is just two hundred taels, and we want to take away 30% of the net profit, but we will suffer a big loss. And once this hole is opened, if the Huainan Hou Gongzi or Linjiang Hou's nephew comes again in the future, we will not be able to do it.

?”

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "Since you don't want them to take shares, you just refuse."

Li Jin said speechlessly: "If it were so simple, I wouldn't come to you late at night to discuss it. These Wuhou all lead troops, and the twelve battalions of Shenjing are all their soldiers."

When Jia Qiang heard this, she said with a smile: "Do you think this is the era of separatist military towns? Even the soldiers of the 12th Battalion of Shenjing, who dare to mobilize a single soldier on their own initiative? I will give you the recipe with both hands, and all the money I earned will be lost."

Donate to them so that we can buy coffins for their whole family."

Li Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what if he uses the soldiers of the Hou Mansion?"

Jia Qiang thought for a while and said: "The heroes of Yuanping are all poor. If this were not the case, Emperor Shizu would not be reluctant and made a special decree to allow them to follow the next generation without demoting their titles. How much money do they have to raise soldiers?

Even if there are, are you Jinsha Gang afraid of them? Find a few censors, sue his family, and keep it so that they can't eat it and walk around."

Li Jin was still uneasy, Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "Okay, I will write a letter to General Shenwu's Mansion tomorrow and ask General Shenwu's son to explain to the Prince of Huai'an that this business is not from your Jinsha Gang, so he doesn't have to do it.

I'm thinking about it. Forced buying and selling all happen to people who have no foundation. The Jinsha Gang itself is not a character that can be bullied at will. If I continue to make false claims, it won't be a big problem."

When Li Jin heard this, he sighed and said, "Maybe you don't know the style of Huai'an Mansion... Well, let's wait and see. I won't disturb your rest, so I'll take my leave."



The next morning, Rongguo Mansion.

Rongqing Hall.

On both sides of the five-carved upper room, there are various parrots, thrushes and other birds hanging in the verandahs. A dozen girls in red and green get up early in the morning, sweeping the floor, or carefully scrubbing a red sandalwood tree placed in the hall with a handkerchief.

Shelf marble screen.

Although there were many people, no one made a sound.

There were two middle-aged nuns standing at the door, responsible for keeping track of the rules.

The weather in early autumn is neither cool nor hot, and is extremely refreshing and comfortable.

Suddenly, a burst of mischievous laughter came from the end of the corridor through the mountain in the west, and the little girls who dared not breathe all looked happy when they heard the movement.

Only when the Rongqing Hall becomes lively can they feel more comfortable and don't have to be so restrained.

Not long after, a pair of children, big and small, were seen arriving from the west. The little girls all laughed and said hello: "Second Master Bao, Miss Lin is here."

Jia Baoyu replied cheerfully, while Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded.

A smart little girl had already lifted up the beaded curtain at the door for the two of them, and a crisp voice came in: "Second Master Bao, Miss Lin is here!" Then she smiled at Baoyu and Daiyu and said, "Second Master Bao, here you are!"

Miss Lin, you two are very lucky!"

An older girl on the side laughed and scolded: "Xiao Jiao'er, you are such a narrow-minded person that you will fawn over me."

This little girl, who looked to be only six or seven years old and had two high-rise hairdos, counterattacked confidently: "Yeah? Who told you grown-ups to bully me just now and not let me squeeze in to say hello?"

"Look how excited your little hooves are!"

"See how I deal with you!"

"Come here and get the basin!"

One by one, the big girls chattered and smiled as they "took care of" the little horns.

Daiyu saw that Xiao Jiaoer's smile was getting more and more forced, so she stopped and said, "Okay, okay, there is no need to bully children."

When Xiao Jiao'er saw this, he was greatly moved. He thought to himself that Miss Lin always made Xiao Xing'er look down on people, but the people Miss Lin looked down on were all dishonorable people. Just like me, Xiao Jiao'er, didn't she think highly of me!

Once Lin Daiyu opened her mouth, all the older girls stopped teasing Xiao Jiao'er.

Baoyu saw this and knew that Daiyu was indeed in a good mood today. He was about to have fun with the girls and asked them what kind of rouge they were wearing, when he saw Hubo suddenly wink at him desperately.

Baoyu followed his eyes and looked back. The good mood of the morning was instantly wiped out, and his soul almost left his body.

I saw his father, Jia Zhengzheng, standing on the hand-chaosing corridor not far away, his face as dark as water, quietly watching his performance...
