Chapter 455: One Day in Yangzhou


Yangzhou Mansion Lotus Garden has been empty.

When Zhen Yingjia was leaving, he wanted to give this place to Jia Cong as a place to stay, but Jia Cong politely refused.

Of the thirteen families in the south of the Yangtze River, except for the three or two families that were not raided, the other families have bowed their heads and yielded, allowing the people of the government to go into the countryside to measure the acres of land and rebuild the yellow book.

The general trend is unstoppable, and now there is another way out, coupled with the all-round suppression of the imperial court, they have to know the current affairs.

Only the Zhen family still didn't nod Song Yan told Jia Cong that Zhen Yingjia is a true gentleman, although he is famous, but his character is commendable.

It's just that he is better than a woman's hand, and his heart is indecisive, and he is called the head of the Zhen family, but in fact, the major affairs of the Zhen family are decided by the old lady of the Zhen family.

The chicken is in the morning, and the beginning of the chaos is also.

This is true for a country, and it is also true for a family.

The Zhen family will die in this generation Song Yan asked Jia Cong to alienate the Zhen family, so as not to be implicated.

The Zhen family originated in Mrs.

Fengsheng, and went through the three dynasties of Shengzu, Zhenyuan, and Chongkang, and sat in the south of the Yangtze River on behalf of the Tianjia family.

Once it is uprooted, it will inevitably shake Jiangnan.

It's not good if you hurt the innocent.

Jia Cong is not a good person, and he will not be merciful to be a savior.

He and Song Yan persuaded each other several times, but Zhen Yingjia persuaded the old Fengjun of the Zhen family, and also persuaded the elders of the Zhen family, they may still think that with the shadow of Mrs.

Fengsheng, they can be rich and noble in Jiangnan for 10,000 years Even Zhen Yingjia himself, it seems that he doesn't seem to believe that the Son of Heaven will make a move on the Zhen family.

Before today's son ascended the throne, he actually wrote a letter to Mrs.

Fengsheng, and his words were very modest Since he thinks so, what can Jia Cong do?

And with the new law in Jiangnan, Yangzhou Mansion quieted down suddenly.

Because Guo Yun was ordered to clean up the gang forces in Yangzhou Mansion, after half a month of continuous crackdown, the entire Yangzhou Mansion reached the point of being a sage who never closed his door at night and did not leave anything behind.

In this way, this rich and noble township in the south of the Yangtze River is more and more picturesque.

And on this day, the gate of the Yanzheng Yamen suddenly opened, and Jia Cong walked out with a smile, in addition to the tea lady, there were still seven or eight "scholars" wearing scholar's clothes and green cloaks, tall or short, fat or thin.

The moment they went out, these scholars couldn't help but blush, their eyes rolled, and they couldn't help but eat and laugh.

One of the tall scholars seemed to be annoyed by the laughter, and scolded with his waist crossed: "Little Jiao'er, you laugh very much" It's okay not to scold, this scolding, the round little scholar is smiling more and more, and his face is full of flowers, giggling.

The smile was extremely contagious, and after a while, a group of scholars couldn't help but laugh along with the tall and thin ones.

Jia Cong was not restrained, and let them laugh heartily.

However, a thin and delicate scholar beside him said with a smile: "Okay, whether it's outside, it's better not to be too ostentatious." ” This calmed down a group of red-faced "readers" who were smiling and red-eared Only then did the group clean up the scattered green shirts and scarves, pretend to cough a few times, and then go to Waiguan Street with Jia Cong.

Today the sky is sunny and the sun is warm.

Jia Cong saw that the sisters had been bored at home for many days, and they were tired of laughing and playing all day, and they were very envious of the legendary past of the tea lady outside, so he simply took them out for a walk.

Although in the long run, Jia Cong's position is dangerous and dangerous, and he needs to be cautious.

But in the past two or three years, at least on the ground in Jiangnan, he can do almost anything he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about being called a deviant Of course, although the idea was to have fun with the people, he had previously used the brocade guards to plow the entire Kanto Street back and forth a few times.

As a result, the bustling streets, which should have been crowded with people, are now sparsely populated.

There are not necessarily many more people on the streets than plainclothes guards But this is enough to make a group of girls who have lived in the house for more than ten years both excited, nervous, shy and scared to the point of trembling, so exciting and enjoyable There are many shops on Dongguan Street, such as garment shops, Lu Chen Xing, Oil Rice Fang, Silk Village, Gouache Shop, Gold Shop, and Baxian Shop Eat, drink, wear, use, wear, you name it.

The owners of these shops have almost been mentioned before, and today they are more visible, but it is better to keep your eyes on and not look around.

Businessmen have been the most shrewd people since ancient times.

How could he not recognize who Jia Cong was, and naturally understood who the group of "scholars" around him was.

The store that got the news later even sent someone to hurry home and take care of the relatives.

Not to mention having a relationship with this young magnate who is now covering the sky in Yangzhou Mansion, as long as he can please him, it will be of great benefit to them.

These naturally can't escape Jia Cong's eyes, and there are people around him to report the situation around him at any time.

But he didn't stop anything, just to accompany his family to relax, not to let them experience the real people's suffering, to bargain with the greasy and cunning vendors.

So when a group of people entered the silk village, Daiyu picked out a light yellow embroidered green bamboo Su brocade, full of love, Jia Cong suggested that she and the proprietress negotiate the price.

When Daiyu learned that this Su Jin was worth twelve taels of silver, she hesitated and returned an eleven taels of silver The proprietress didn't say anything with a smiling face, Jia Cong smiled and said: "How can there be such a stingy bargain, you have to ask six taels directly."

At this time, the proprietress began to cough violently, and Daiyu and the others laughed.

In their opinion, this is too unreasonable.

However, the proprietress received the boss's crazy eye output behind the store partition: Promise yes, promise yes, you are "almost shriveled" and agree Women still have to listen to men in the end, so the proprietress forced a smile: "The minimum is six taels, this little Langjun will bargain" Before the proprietress finished speaking, she heard a "bang" from behind the partition, which frightened everyone, only to see a middle-aged man struggling to get up behind the curtain.

He was frightened by his mother-in-law's "Xiao Langjun".

Daiyu and the others couldn't take care of him a lot, except for Xiao Jiao'er who took Fang Fang Yuanyuan to giggle, the others stared at the proprietress and asked, "Your twelve taels of Su Jin, six taels are sold."

The proprietress smiled, looked back, and nodded: "Sell five taels and sell it."

Qingwen and the others were really happy when they heard this, and they became more and more interested in picking, but Daiyu saw something, and she looked at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong smiled: "Don't look at me, I didn't say anything, and I didn't say hello."

If I had explained it in advance, they wouldn't have acted so badly, and they would have been sloppy everywhere. ” Daiyu believed it, shook her head and said, "Let's go to the next one and take a look, it's not good to take advantage of others." ” Jia Cong didn't force it, and asked the tea lady who had been smiling and watching on the side, and said, "What do you want to buy?"

The tea lady shook her head with a smile at these natural doors.

When Qingwen and the others saw it, they naturally didn't buy it, and they didn't lack anything, just looking for fun.

After leaving the silk village, Daiyu pulled the arm of the tea lady and said with a smile: "Sister Thirteen Niang, you help us choose, we can't take advantage of others, bully others, and buy some good quality and low price." ” The tea lady glanced at Jia Cong, and Jia Cong smiled and said, "Today, you are in charge, how stubborn you are." ” The tea lady pursed her lips and smiled, and then said to Daiyu: "You can't talk too little about the price, and of course you can't cut it like the master, giggle." ” After everyone made fun of Jia Cong for a while, they listened carefully to the tea lady: "Twelve taels of silk are also nine taels or ten taels, and it is generally about ten taels or three dollars." ” Daiyu nodded thoughtfully, and Qingwen hurriedly asked, "If it's two taels, how much should it be gone?"

The tea lady smiled: "Generally, the price is good for one to two percent." ” When Qingwen heard this, her brows furrowed, and she counted with her fingers Can't count.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It feels like it's almost inseparable, so you don't have to be so serious."

Or you ask Xiaohong to do the math for you, and she calculates quickly. ” Qingwen was happy when she heard this, first glanced at Jia Cong happily, and then pulled Xiaohong to help her calculate, the price of two taels of silver is still one or two percent, and then how much They were muttering on the side, while Daiyu looked at Jia Cong with a smile, laughing at him for spoiling the people in the room and being a big pervert Jia Cong was not used to her, reached out and patted her scarf, and said, "Let's go, go shopping" Daiyu wrinkled her nose and snorted, in the end, she went shopping with everyone.

The girls who can't breathe after running a few steps on weekdays go shopping, but they burst out with energy that makes Jia Cong look sideways.

Seeing them seriously holding one thing after another, as big as gold and silver, as small as an embroidery needle, and bargaining with the proprietress seriously, Jia Cong seemed to have returned to his previous life Almost one by one, they went shopping next to each other, until noon, Jia Cong led them into a small shop.

I ordered beef in sauce, beef broth, and a dustpan of straw oven pancakes A group of hungry "scholars" feasted Even Lin Daiyu, who had always chewed slowly, drank a slurp, which made Jia Cong laugh secretly in his heart.

After eating and drinking, a group of girls became full of energy again, and discussed walking to the other side of the street, and then strolling from beginning to end, just after shopping, just to go home Jia Cong naturally didn't make sense, so he went shopping with them again.

He acted as a purse, bodyguard, and the occasional advisor, and as for some large and small bags, he had his own carriage behind him to load them.

Li Rong and Xiaoba acted as wrestlers, carrying bags of "loot" onto the carriage, transporting them back when they were full, and loading them again.

After visiting the last rice shop, a few girls discussed buying some millet, feeling as if they could make porridge and drink, and after going out, looking at the gate of the Yanzheng Yamen close at hand, a group of exhausted "scholars" almost cried with joy One by one, they couldn't wait to return to the back house, and they couldn't even take care of Jia Cong, so they called the little girl to wash up with water, and then fell asleep.

In my life, I may have never been so tired Jia Cong returned to her small courtyard with the tea lady, and after entering the house, the tea lady served Jia Cong and sat down, and then sat with him.

Jia Cong looked at her, held his hand and smiled: "Their happiness is too simple for you."

You're not good at that, aren't you boring?"

The tea lady shook her head and smiled: "It feels good to be a family together. ” Jia Cong was greatly satisfied, and said: "Don't worry, take care of your body, completely nurture your wounds, and wait for the family to celebrate the New Year together, and let you go out next year to do what you like."

It just so happens that you choose a few absolutely loyal subordinates to go to the mountains to practice firearms.

No matter how high the martial arts are, they are also afraid of firearm volleys.

You're going to be busy next year."

The first escort of the first team of the Escort Division has already departed, and it won't be long before news comes back that won't be too good At that time, the tea lady's manpower will be able to be dispatched, clear and subdue the forces in the green forest The tea lady was very happy when she heard this, these days, three days before the start she could still use the identity of the noble concubine.

But after three days, all the service was sinful for her.

The etiquette of the inner house is a layer of constraints for her, which makes her feel uncomfortable In the past, she also envied the life of the ladies in the boudoir in the mansion of the high-ranking family in the book, but after the real experience, the tea lady knew what kind of life was most suitable for her.

If she is really confined to the small side of the back house for the rest of her life, she is afraid that she will be suffocated to death.

Occasionally going out shopping is a thrilling surprise for other girls, but for her, who has been drifting on the rivers and lakes since she was a child, she can't make a ripple in her heart at all.

Therefore, when Jia Cong finished saying this, the tea lady's heart was as sweet as honey and she was very happy.

Therefore, when she heard Jia Cong say that she wanted to check her wound again, although it was still daytime, she did not stop her, and obediently unbuttoned her shirt :
