Chapter 167 Wang Xifeng cleverly sends a heavy gift (4/10)
Rongguo Mansion, Sister Feng’s courtyard.
Jia Huan was separated from Xichun next to the hall, and he took Caixia and Shouren to the Fengjie courtyard.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Ping'er directing a few little maids to clean the yard. After seeing Jia Huan, Ping'er quickly saluted and said, "Ah, a rare guest, why is the Third Master here for free?"
"Sister Ping'er!"
Jia Huan returned the gift, then smiled and said, "Can your second sister-in-law be there?"
Ping'er led him in and smiled, "Second Master and our grandma have just gotten up for a while, and are having breakfast together now. Third Master, please follow me!"
While speaking, he had already walked to the curtain, and Ping'er shouted inside: "Second Master, Grandma, Master Huan San is here!"
As he said that, after about ten seconds, he opened the curtain. Jia Huan walked in. Seeing Wang Xifeng's face slightly rosy, Jia Lian quickly got up to greet him and laughed: "Hahaha, why are the third brother here? I have not congratulated the third brother on his nomination in advance."
As he spoke, he pulled Jia Huan toward the dining table. After sitting down, Ping'er had already brought the new bowls and chopsticks. When he saw Wang Xifeng picking up the bowl with his own hands, he added pearl millet porridge with tremella and almonds. He smiled and said, "It's too early today, and I didn't let the kitchen cook something delicious. Since the third brother is here, let's eat some casually, first make your stomach, stay here for lunch, and then make a few good dishes, so that you two brothers can drink a few drinks."
Jia Huan smiled, took the bowl handed over by Sister Feng, looked at the ingredients that were filled with some good supplements, and said, "This is already very good. I sometimes have a bad appetite, but as long as I eat, I can still eat enough."
After saying that, he chatted and drank the porridge, ate a few more mouthfuls of fine side dishes, then put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Sure enough, Brother Lian and Sister-in-law Lian will enjoy it. After drinking such porridge, the whole stomach will be warm."
"You, why bother to bury us? We are so small-sized, so small-sized family, you, the master of Ningguo. There are countless mountains of gold and silver coming and going every day. What can you eat well and you can't eat?" Feng Jie quipped with a smile.
However, this is true. The share of the couple is not high, but they can earn nearly tens of thousands of taels of silver every month. Jia Huan, who is much higher than theirs, will naturally earn more.
Moreover, as far as they know, in Shenjing City, the most profitable businesses, such as sugar, perfume, soap, and the more expensive Zuixian wines sold now are all from Jia Huan's industries. Some of them look small but have significant returns, such as mosquito coils, fresh juice shops, etc. It can be said that the daily income is at least 10,000 taels of silver.
Jia Huan smiled bitterly and then said, "Although you can make some money, the cost of paying it every day is not low, and you can't make much money.
Today, I am also a villain, and I am here to find my second sister-in-law to fight Qiufeng.”
Hearing his words, Feng Jie and Jia Lian laughed out loud. They received a command from Jia Mu yesterday, saying that they would raise 100,000 taels of silver to do business for Jia Huan, and the most important thing was to repay the treasury owed silver.
One hundred thousand taels of silver seems to be more, but it is really not enough to owe the money that owes the treasury. Although they have proposed 100 thousand taels of silver, this means they no longer need to worry about owing the treasury money.
They were too happy to see such a good thing, so they would not refuse it.
At this time, Feng Jie clapped her hands, and Ping'er led a few servants and carried two boxes and walked in.
Sister Feng signaled the servant to open the box. One box emitted a dazzling golden light. You could tell at a glance that it was a very good-quality gold. Although the other box was small, there were stacks of silver notes lying in neat rows, neatly. At a glance, you could tell that it was a stack of ten thousand taels of silver notes, a total of ten.
Jia Huan was a little confused, then he understood and pointed to the box and asked, "Can you be the second brother Lian and the second sister-in-law still plan to add some extra money to me?"
On the side, Feng Jie saw him funny and said coquettishly: "Although you are good-looking, you can't think of it as beautiful as this.
This is my second brother and you’re going to use it for business? It just so happened that we have made a lot of money with you during this period. If you can make a profit, just give us one according to the previous share.
Just treat it as you keep some wealth for your nephew or niece, so that he or she will have a better life in the future!”
While talking, he touched his stomach. Jia Huan didn't understand yet. It turned out that Sister Feng had it.
Jia Huan calmed down. He remembered well that it was still five or six years before Liu Laolao entered Rongguo Mansion again. At that time, Qiaojie was not long before she was born. Why was she pregnant at this time?
When he came to his senses, Jia Huan didn't think too much. There was indeed a miscarriage from Sister Feng in the original work, but since the plot had changed, he simply thought that it was better to have no books than to believe in books. He smiled and said, "Since my second sister-in-law has said this, I agree, just save some furniture for my nephew or niece."
The servant immediately ordered a few points in front of him, with a total of 2,000 taels of gold, which was about 20,000 taels of silver.
After instructing Shouren to go to the East Mansion to bring people over and carry the silver notes and gold away, Jia Huan smiled and said, "I can see that Brother Lian and his second sister-in-law are getting better and better. Those who are younger brothers are really happy for you. I also hope that you can keep it up and may become model couples in the future!"
"This is all thanks to you, third brother. How can you not know what kind of person your second brother used to be? Otherwise, you wouldn't have set that rule.
The situation is getting better now. Second sister-in-law, I thank you for not having time.
I originally thought of giving you something, but now you can just leak a little bit and eat it for a lifetime, so there is nothing good to do."
Speaking of this, Feng Jie walked aside and took out a box. After opening it, it was a set of women's headdresses with very exquisite workmanship. The main material was made of gold. The embellishments were either rare white mutton fat jade, or the color and size were fine pearl jade. Especially under the light, it was even more dazzling, so beautiful that it made people reluctant to move their eyes away.
Not to mention that women like it, even the man Jia Huan is well-informed and is attracted by this set of headdresses.
Seeing that he was a little surprised, Feng Jie chuckled and said, "This is what we asked someone to find outside. I heard that it was created by the craftsmen of the harem queens. Except for the modifications made in the transcendence, all other places reflected exquisite workmanship.
Although the third brother cannot use this thing, I think even in ten or twenty years, it will still be a rare treasure. When the third brother wears it on the bride on the day of his wedding, I think it will definitely make people envious and unable to take their eyes off!"
While looking at the jewelry in the box and listening to Sister Feng's words, Jia Huan suddenly felt that it was not easy for her to handle the entire Rongguo Mansion in an orderly and comprehensive manner under the exploitation of Mu Jia and Mrs. Wang.
To be honest, although this jewelry is precious, the materials and workmanship are only 3,000 taels of silver. If she gives money directly or other things, she will not seem so sincere.
Now that I have given this pair of jewelry, no matter which one Jia Huan gives to in the future, that person will remember her favor.
Then he thought about it, since he wanted to make the relationship closer, what's the harm in accepting it? As long as Feng Jie doesn't put money on and does not take charge of lawsuits, Jia Lian seems to be pretty good as Jia Zhen and Jia She.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law and brother Lian, for your thoughtful thoughts. I have accepted this gift!"
