Chapter 480 Jingyang bell rings, the world is mourning
Ningguo Mansion, East Road Courtyard.
In the middle hall of Xichun Courtyard.
The sisters of the Jia family were all surprised when they saw the person in front of them.
No one was too surprised that the three You sisters wanted to go with them. After all, the second sister You and the third sister You had their own craftsmanship. Yesterday, they had invited them, which had been agreed upon before.
However, the auras of the three sisters sitting in the room were obviously different from those of the three You sisters. Keqing, who was sitting beside her in a lonely and pitiful manner, also wanted to go, which was beyond everyone's expectation...
Keqing, Daiyu, Sanchun, Baochai and others performed the junior ceremony. Just when he didn't know how to explain it, Qingwen pushed Xiangling out and said for Keqing: "Xiangling invited me here twice! "
Everyone looked at Xiang Ling. Xiang Ling was a little panicked and whispered: "Our master said that everyone in the family should go."
Jia Qiang's original words actually mean that family members can go wherever they want.
I don’t know what Xiang Ling was thinking about inviting Ke Qing here.
After Jia Qiang had given instructions from the front, she came here and was startled when she saw Ke Qing. When she learned that Xiang Ling had invited her, there was a strange look in her eyes, but she didn't say much. She just nodded and said, "Let's go out together." It doesn’t matter if it’s ventilated, it’s boring to stay at home for months and months.”
Then he saw Zicuckoo, Siqi, Shu Shu, Ru Hua, Ying'er, Cuimo and other girls all carrying two big baggages. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's like running away."
Amid everyone's laughter, Xichun asked in a calm voice, as if she were an aunt: "Brother Qiang, let's go. Besides admiring flowers and warming soup, is there anything else you can do?"
Jia Qiang twitched the corner of her mouth and said: "There is a fish pond over there in Zhuangzi. I have people prepare some fishing rods. If you like fishing, you can catch it and grill it."
After everyone heard this, they became more and more yearning for it.
After a while, Ping'er was ready and came. The sisters knew that she was busy with business and working very hard for Jia Qiang, so they respected her extra. However, Ping'er knew her duty best and refused to take it. He was so big that he pushed me around and said hello happily for a while.
When it was busy, Baochai came over, with a smile on his pretty face as white as snow, and asked: "How can we accommodate these people?"
Jia Qiang glanced sideways at her and chuckled: "That Zhuangzi is bigger than the Duke's Mansion. They had two rows of wooden houses built earlier, so why can't they accommodate them? It's spring now, but the mosquitoes and ants haven't sprung up yet. It's the best time to enjoy things. Sister Xue, just take a few days to relax."
Baochai smiled and nodded, and saw Xiang Yun opening a package prepared by Cui Mo. It actually contained half a package of brocade handkerchiefs for embroidery. Xiang Yun was not satisfied with this, and complained that Cui Mo was missing the package.
Daiyu teased: "If you don't stay here for one night, you can't even finish one piece of embroidery. Why are you so greedy?"
Xiangyun reasoned seriously: "Of course I can't finish the embroidery alone, but there are so many sisters and girls, and they have nothing to do at night, so why not do something serious?"
Daiyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Shall we help you do serious things?"
Xiangyun said angrily: "Of course I won't let you do it in vain. You can help me get started, and I'll give you one, two or four cents of silver per share!"
Yingchun said with a smile: "After you embroidered one piece, it was only two and a half. We only embroidered the beginning, and you got nearly half and more? Is Yun'er stupid?"
Xiangyun slapped his chest... as flat as a man, and said proudly: "I can't let you suffer!"
Everyone was amused and moved. Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister Shi really wants to make money. This is actually the right way, but in the wrong direction."
Xiangyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he jumped up to Jia Qiang in a few steps, tilted his head and looked at him, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, why are you going in the wrong direction?"
Jia Qiang smiled and said: "When doing business, if you want to get the maximum profit, the first thing is to reduce costs. You have hired so many expensive people to help you with your work. If you just start, you will lose more than half of the profit. In the world, Is there anyone doing business like this? If you really want to make more money, you might as well distribute these embroideries and ask some girls to help you embroider them. After embroidering a whole side, give her five coins, and you can change hands. , if you get two taels, don’t you just make a net profit of two taels? In this way, you don’t have to do anything, and you can earn even more.”
When Xiangyun heard this, he wrinkled his nose and said in disgust: "How can I be so harsh on the girls' money!"
Jia Qiang laughed and said: "What are you demanding? You let them embroider it and sell it to see who wants it? Even if they want it, they can't sell it for this price."
Xiangyun said: "They can sell it at the guild hall!"
Jia Qiang reminded: "Are you stupid? The clubhouse is mine, and I paid a lot of money and favors to open it. You are my relatives, so I can lend it to you. But how can others keep taking advantage of this convenience? A door shop in the guild hall is more valuable than the two markets in the east and west. The master takes one share and the servants share half. The Jia family is no longer allowed. Otherwise, as time goes by, it becomes a rule, and they will inevitably become greedy and insufficient. You are a cunning slave like the Lai family who betrays his master and deceives him. From now on, if the girls from the two houses entrust you with consignment, you will have to explain this truth to them clearly."
Seeing Xiang Yun's embarrassment, Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Five qian is already a lot of money. If you do it in one month, it will not be much worse than their monthly money, or even more."
Xiangyun couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, and said: "Then... I earn too much, right?"
The sisters all laughed, and Jia Qiang said: "Since the shop is given to you both, the proceeds can naturally be divided equally. Of course, if they don't want it, you can also take it yourself."
Xiangyun shook his head repeatedly and said: "How can this mean that it should be divided equally? It should be divided equally. Sister Lin takes the big head!"
Daiyu waved her hand and said with a smile: "Goodbye... Girl Yun, I advise you not to indulge in this. If word spreads, it won't be a good reputation."
Xiangyun was silent when she heard this. How could she not know that, especially if she followed Jia Qiang's method, the girls and the ladies would have a bad reputation of being "extremely extortionate and greedy for money".
When I went to my husband's house in the future, I was looked down upon.
only……
Xiangyun is not afraid of being treated differently by others. Although she is easy to make money, she is not stingy.
What she was afraid of was that she would spend her whole life like she did in the Shi family, not even sleeping, working as a prostitute all night just to save the embroiderer's money.
Seeing her like this, Daiyu smiled and said: "Come on, you can do whatever you want, but you don't have to use your name..."
Xiangyun was shocked, looked at Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, are you going to do this in your name?"
Daiyu rolled her eyes angrily and said, "That's a good thing!" Then she looked away with a half-smiling look.
Baochai:"……"
Daiyu smiled narrowly and said, "Of course I use Brother Qiang's name. It turns out to be his guild hall."
When Xiangyun heard this, he immediately became embarrassed and said, "This is not very good..."
Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm not afraid of getting a bad reputation as a harsh servant."
Xiang Yun and others asked curiously: "Why is this?"
Daiyu was the first to react, and said with a blushing face: "Don't talk nonsense!"
But it was half a step too late. Jia Qiang said proudly: "Because I'm not afraid that I won't be able to get a wife... Oops!"
As everyone burst into laughter, Dai Yu repeatedly used her unparalleled martial arts skills to tear off Jia Qiang's shameless face.
In the middle of the fuss, Baoyu rushed in with a roar. When he saw Lian Keqing coming, he seemed to be even more happy.
On the other hand, Xi Ren, who was following him, looked a little uncomfortable. When meeting Jia Qiang, he specifically explained: "It's the old lady. I'm worried that the second master must have asked me to come."
Baoyu also knew about the original public case, but he always turned against his own people, and he did not think that Xiren would intentionally wrongfully accuse Xiren. It must be a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Qiang, please don't bully Xiren!"
Jia Qiang was too lazy to pay attention to him and said: "Since everyone is here, let's set off. The carriage stopped outside the Neiyi Gate, and everyone recognized each other's carriages."
Now that we are about to set off, the sisters of the Jia family are becoming more and more happy, and the girls are also very happy.
Even Keqing, there is a bit of joy in her timid and beautiful eyes...
But Ping'er stepped forward and whispered to Jia Qiang: "Master, second, grandma, maybe I can't take it with me?"
Daiyu listened on the sidelines and said in surprise: "Second sister-in-law, are you afraid that she can't move?"
Ping'er apologized and said with a smile: "It turns out that I'm so sick that I need to rest. It's just that grandma has something on her mind, so how can she afford to rest? I went to see Qian'er, and the more I care, the more she becomes thinner."
Hearing this, Daiyu looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Isn't it cheap to bring Feng girl?"
Jia Qiang thought for a moment and said, "Put a few more mattresses in the carriage and drive slower. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Ping'er was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked Jia Qiang and Daiyu repeatedly.
Daiyu took her hand and persuaded her with a smile: "You are always such a heretic, how can you do it?"
Jia Qiang clapped her hands, waved her hand and said: "Let's go! If anything happens, we'll talk about it when we get to Taoyuan."
"Let's go!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Xiao Jixiang, Xiao Jiao'er, Xiang Ling and other girls were the most happy and cheered.
But as soon as he got out of the hospital, he was startled. Xiao Jixiang even took two steps back and hid behind Xiao Jiao'er.
Jia Qiang and Daiyu came forward and saw Jia Huan carrying a small bundle. They didn't know what could be put in it, but they stood there with frowning eyes...
…
"Oh~~~"
"Ah~~~"
"La la la~~"
In Tangshan, dozens of miles away from Shenjing City, when Jia Qiang and his party arrived, half of the sky to the west was already ablaze.
However, I haven't been out of the main entrance a few times since I was a child, let alone the ladies who went out of the city. After getting off the carriage, I saw peach blossoms everywhere I looked. Going up to the top of the hill, I could see endless flowers. The sea, and the gorgeous sunset in the west.
How can such a scenery be seen in numerous courtyards?
Because the farmers in Zhuangzi had long been arranged outside the village, there were only two women and girls in Zhuangzi. Therefore, Xiangyun, Tanchun, Xichun and the little girls saw such beautiful scenery and such a spectacular image. Everyone shouted happily.
Jia Qiang and Daiyu didn't feel very tired anymore. They looked at Ping'er and Feng'er first, then Huijin helped Sister Feng back to the house. They saw many other nuns and wet nurses coming to make the bed. After everyone looked at each other and smiled, they walked and chatted in the peach blossom forest.
…
Shenjing Imperial City, Jiuhua Palace.
Emperor Long'an looked at the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital going in and out of the Emperor's palace, his face solemn and sad.
Queen Yin comforted the sobbing Queen Mother Tian in a low voice, saying that good people have their own destiny...
The Queen Mother was so worried and sad that she did not notice that there were many new faces among the palace attendants.
As the sun sets, the entire imperial city is shrouded in red light.
Jiuhua Palace is under martial law.
The Daming Palace is under martial law.
In the entire imperial city, no piece of paper is allowed to enter or exit...
At the beginning of the Xu period, an edict was passed in the palace, summoning Zong Zheng, the clan’s chief minister, to enter the palace.
At three o'clock in the morning of Xu, another decree was sent to the palace, summoning all military masters and Jiang Duo, Duke of Zhao, to enter the palace.
At the second quarter of Hai hour, the palace issued a decree for the third time to leave the palace and summon all the royal family kings, the Supreme Emperor, the princes, and the emperor's grandson to enter the palace.
At the beginning of the Zishi period, the Jingyang bell rang, causing great mourning in the world!
