Bu Zheng Fang, Lin Mansion.

At Zhonglin Hall.

When Jia Qiang and Daiyu came in, Aunt Mei was serving Lin Ruhai with herbal meals.

When he suddenly saw Jia Qiang's face, he was startled and almost lost his hold on the medicine bowl.

Daiyu giggled, and Aunt Mei said "yo", looked at Daiyu, then at Lin Ruhai, and asked: "What's going on?"

Jia Qiang also laughed. She and Daiyu first met Lin Ruhai and then replied: "Yesterday, I competed with Yuan Ping's children in the arena of the guild hall. We fought five times in a row. It was inevitable that I suffered some minor injuries. Auntie, don't worry. , are all victories.”

After hearing this, Aunt Mei felt relieved and said angrily: "Boys are so naughty that they can easily make such a handsome face look like this."

Jia Qiang did not defend herself. After finding a chair and sitting down, she asked, "Have all the silks and satins I sent been placed properly?"

Aunt Mei smiled and said, "Why did you send so much silk and satin? I took a look and found it was brighter than before. The texture was also good, delicate and bright, and the makeup was better. It looked like Su Jin. But if you look closely, it is better than Su Brocade and Shu Brocade, and it is softer and softer."

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Yangzhou is really doing better and better. We sold two hundred horses at the Xixie Street Guild Hall yesterday, which is not enough to grab."

Aunt Mei took a slight breath of air and said, "Two hundred pieces are not enough to grab? A piece of good silk satin on the market costs ten taels of silver. I heard that yours is more expensive?"

Jia Qiang said: "The best ones on the market are twelve taels per horse, and the ones from Delin are half more expensive, eighteen taels per horse. But the five hundred horses sent to my home will wait until someone from outside asks for them. You can give it at the rate of twelve taels. It was originally intended to be a favor for my sister, and it doesn’t cost any money. But I don’t expect them to ignore their face at all, and I really can’t shirk it, so I’ll give it at the rate of twelve taels.”

Hearing this, Aunt Mei laughed out loud and said to Lin Ruhai: "This can be considered as holding it in your mouth and holding it in your hand. God, how can you use tens of thousands of taels of things as a favor?"

Lin Ruhai never talked much. After nodding slightly, Aunt Mei saw that he had something to talk to Jia Qiang, so she said to Daiyu who smiled shyly: "Come on, let's go inside and figure out how to do this favor well. "

Daiyu stood up after hearing this, looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Don't run around today. Look at this face. How many people did you make laugh on the way here?"

Jia Qiang chuckled and said, "No matter how injured I am, I'll still look better than them."

"Pooh!"

Daiyu spat, wanting to sit down and continue arguing with him, but when Lin Ruhai looked over, she felt a little bored. She actually complained to Lin Ruhai, and then followed Aunt Mei.

Jia Qiang laughed a little guiltily, but Lin Ruhai ignored these children's matters. He looked at Jia Qiang and asked: "After knowing what happened to Mr. Zhao yesterday, do you have any thoughts?"

Jia Qiang's face became solemn, and she pondered for a while and said: "Sir, I have thought about it for a long time and found that in addition to preventing generals from overestimating their troops in the long run, in the short term, at least within two or three years, we should discuss changing the commander of the 12th Regiment Battalion. As far as the imperial court and the emperor are concerned, it actually has no big impact. Of course, the Jiang family has almost abolished their martial arts and deposed many generals of the Jiang family. This move should be able to put my husband and me in the Yangxin Hall last time and put them under the control of the Jiang family. Take off the hats you put on me. But isn’t the price too high?”

Lin Ruhai slowly shook his head and said: "Qiang'er, look at Jiang Duo, and you will understand that reaching his level is definitely not a matter of luck or cunning. This old man really has unparalleled wisdom.

Guess. Is the cost to the Jiang family high? It is, but I predict that he will do more than that. In short, this old man will definitely put a ruthless knife on the Jiang family in order to achieve what he wants for the country of Yan, Jiangshan and Ji for eternity.

It is not easy to sacrifice the Jiang family. This move is really admirable."

When Jia Qiang heard this, he felt goosebumps all over his body. Playing chess against such a top national player made him shudder, but also a little excited.

His eyes were bright and he said: "Sir, I probably understand a little bit. After all, Old Man Jiang wants to turn around. He understands the true meaning of the word "let go". Only by giving up first can you gain later. But the disciple can't understand.

What’s strange is that he sold the people who had been with him for many years when he changed hands. Who will still be with him in the future?”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "This is the power of his far-reaching vision! Qiang'er, generation after generation, the situation of nobles controlling the military will be broken. This is inevitable. The previous dynasties, and even the Han and Tang Dynasties,

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the military was dominated by nobles and nobles. However, after several generations, even the outstanding generals did not have the prestige of their ancestors in the army. It was inevitable that military power would be dispersed and returned to the imperial court.

Although Jiang Duo is a man in the game, his vision and planning are outside the game. Instead of waiting for the Tian family and the court to use the heads of the Jiang family to change the direction, it is better for the Jiang family to take the initiative to turn around. Not only did they revive the dead game, but they also

A special honor that can make great contributions to the country! Just this one hand can be called a national master, and it is enough to learn from you for a while!"

Jia Qiang smiled bitterly and said: "This old man is really a cruel man. Is he really not afraid of the Jiang family's vitality being severely damaged and reaching the point of no return? He is smart, but how old is he?"

Lin Ruhai said: "The losses to the Jiang family may not be too great. Mr. Jiang Duo has been in the army for a long time. He has promoted many old troops and how many disciples he has in the army. I am afraid no one knows. He wrote a letter

The Jiubian heavy general returned to Beijing to serve as the general of the 12th regiment. Who really knows how many of these Jiubian heavy generals are close friends with him? In short, don’t underestimate him. Your relationship with the Jiang family is not good now.

Even if there is peace, be careful of this old man's methods. However, I expect that he will take the path of misfortune recently, and most likely he will not attack you directly. Even if he does, it will be the younger generation who will deal with you. You must know better."

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, I never dare to be arrogant."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Don't take action on the part of the Kang family and his son. I have my own thoughts on this matter."

Jia Qiang said hurriedly: "Sir, you are in poor health, and you have so many errands in the household department, you..."

Lin Ruhai smiled and waved his hands and said: "If you dare to scheme against my disciples like this, if you don't show them any color, they will just think that they spent these years as a teacher in Fugui Township. That's it, don't worry about it anymore.

.”

Jia Qiang smiled and nodded: "If so, my disciple will know."

Lin Ruhai said "hmm", looked at Jia Qiang and said softly: "Qiang'er, although there are obviously truths in many things at the moment, they must be avoided and not fought, which can easily make people depressed. I was originally worried that you are young.

I am very angry, but I am very pleased to know what you did in Dongluyuan yesterday. You did an excellent job, but among Yuanping's heroes, there must be some who don't want to see you do it like this, and will even use it as a weapon.

A person's way is his own. You should also think of a way to deal with it in advance, and don't let others disturb your way."

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir. Junior sister just taught me yesterday that a person's mind is strengthened by grievances and setbacks. I will not let others influence my thinking. As for the opponent's backhand... the big waves wash away the sand,

Only after you have sifted through the yellow sand will you find the gold! This is a process of removing the waste and retaining the good, and I will not be sad or depressed because of this."

Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard the words and nodded: "That's how it should be! If you can think like this, I feel relieved. As for your junior sister... When you two children are together, in addition to spending time together, you should support each other. She can

It’s a good thing to remind you like this.”

Jia Qiang nodded sheepishly, and Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look inside. I'm going to the household department in a while, so there's no need to come here when I leave."

After Jia Qiang agreed, she went to Qingzhuyuan.

…

"Master Hou is here!"

On the corridor outside the central hall, Zicuckoo, who was walking in with tea, saw Jia Qiang and greeted Jia Qiang with a smile, which was also the announcement inside.

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Sister Lin and aunt are inside?"

Zijuan smiled and said: "No, we are discussing those silk and satin matters. Lord Marquis, please go in quickly."

Jia Qiang smiled and entered, only to see Aunt Mei and Daiyu standing up. He hurriedly said: "I can't help it, how dare I bother my aunt and sister to get up and greet them?"

"Pooh!"

Aunt Mei and Daiyu both spat, and Aunt Mei smiled and said: "You are getting more and more glib! Okay, I've made a good deal with the girl. Let's go back and see the master. The master will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs for business later..." said

Changing the subject, he said: "You should also be more careful. A good face is beaten like this, which makes people feel distressed and want to laugh at the same time."

After that, he left.

Jia Qiang sat down indifferently, looked at Daiyu opposite, and said, "What did my aunt discuss with you?"

Daiyu snorted and said, "What else can we do? It's just the entertainment." Then she asked, "When will you go back?"

Zicuckoo, who was pouring tea at the side, smiled and said, "Look at what the girl is asking, it seems like she is chasing someone away."

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "Don't worry Zijuan, I will never let others have such misunderstanding." Then she said to Daiyu: "Sit down and have a rest before leaving... Actually, I don't want to go back. There will be so many troubles if I go back.

"

Daiyu smiled brightly and said, "But what about the old lady's house?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "That's not all. If someone else comes to ask for orders today, the old lady will come to bother me again."

Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Who made you so capable?" Seeing Jia Qiang take a breath, Daiyu half-smiled and said: "Why did you rest yesterday? Didn't you sleep well?"

Jia Qiang said confidently: "I didn't do anything last night and went to bed properly. If Sister Lin doesn't believe it, ask Xiangling, Qingwen and the others."

"Pooh!"

Daiyu blushed and spat. How could she ask this?

She suddenly remembered something and said: "How should you divide the money you earned from the sisters' shop in West Road Courtyard? Bao Yatou said first that she didn't need to divide her share, give it to Yun'er. I said I didn't need to, either.

Give it to the three girls. But these two are stubborn and don't want to give up. I'm afraid that saying too much will hurt their hearts, so I just don't care."

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this. From now on, I will use new silks and satins to make women's dresses for you. I won't have to worry about selling them. The money I earn is enough for Sister Shi's expenses. As for the third aunt, she is not short of money."

"

Daiyu smiled and said, "How can there be no shortage? If she saves a little money every month, Aunt Zhao can take it away."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Then you can't control her much. When she comes out of the cabinet in the future, the second master and the second wife will not treat her badly even for the sake of face. It's the second aunt who is the poor one. Neither father nor brother are like that."

...That’s all, we’ll talk about it when the time comes.”

Daiyu smiled when she heard this, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Qiang'er, have you ever thought about what Bao Yatou will do in the future? I've been watching her with cold eyes for the past two days, and something seems wrong..."
