Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Jia Rong said: "Don't worry, mother, keeping him is voluntary. Even if he wants to check in the future, he can't find us."

　　You said, "So, what do you want?"

　　Jia Rong smiled and said: "Mother doesn't know, Zhang Hua Nian is two years younger than his son. He spends all day gambling and gambling, and he is extremely useless. Any amount of money in his hands will be wiped out by him in the morning. The son knows someone named Ni. [-]. Nicknamed Drunk King, he is Yun Ge'er, the son of the fifth sister-in-law in the west corridor. Although he is a man who pays heavy debts, eats free money in casinos, and is determined to control the market and drink wine. Now I go to him and give him Zhang Hua set up a bureau and asked him to owe one hundred and eighty taels, and he would definitely not be able to pay it back. Then Ni Er took people to his house to make trouble. When it was time to make a deal, his mother sent people to bring money to retire. The Zhang family must have Agree, the silver will come back to our hands after a circle. Then, give Ni Er a little silver and you will be done, wouldn’t it be convenient?”

　　You thought for a while, "Is Ni Er reliable?"

　　Jia Rong said, "Don't worry, mother, I promise it will be fine!"

　　You nodded in agreement: "Just do as you said, and give Ni Er some more money. If there is another one, we can't let the Zhang family know that we forced them to break off the marriage."

　　Jia Rong replied with a smile, and hurriedly went to Ni Er to discuss.

　　Jia Rong went to find Ni Er.This is a rude man. Seeing Jia Rong coming over, he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Jia, you have always been a high-ranking person and have never had any dealings with me. Please forgive Ni for being unreasonable. What are you looking for?"

　　Jia Rong smiled and said, "People say that Ni Er is straightforward, and it really is!"

　　Ni Er said displeased: "If you have something, please speak directly!"

　　So Jia Rong talked about designing Zhang Hua.Ni Er frowned and asked, "Zhang Hua has a grudge against you?" Jia Rong shook his head, "No grudge." Ni Er asked again, "Have a grudge against you?" Jia Rong shook her head again, "No grudge."

　　Ni Er cupped his hands and postponed: "Since that Zhang Hua has no hatred and no grudge against your Excellency, why do you want to design with him? Ni Er disdainfully framed a good person for nothing! Forgiveness!" After speaking, he was about to leave.Jia Rong hurriedly asked the servant to stop her.Ni Er stunned and shouted: "Uncle Jia is trying to embarrass someone? Then let's practice! Others are afraid of your Jia family, but I'm not!"

　　Jia Rong explained with a smile: "It's my fault that I didn't make it clear, it's like this..." Jia Rong told about Zhang Hua and Second Sister You, "It's just for him to voluntarily dissolve the engagement, that's all."

　　Ni Er thought for a while and said, "Since Zhang Hua is poor and down-to-earth, with your Jia family's background, you can give him a few hundred and one hundred taels of silver casually. He is not grateful for Dade, so he broke the engagement? Why go around?"

　　Jia Rong said: "You also know that if my Jia family is in the first place, even if the Zhang family is unwilling in their hearts, I'm afraid they will agree. At most, it is a matter of dozens of taels of silver. But my father would never agree to bully others, and would rather spend a thousand taels of silver. Stop the Zhang family's mouth."

　　Ni Er shook his head and said, "One thousand taels? You are really rich. That's not how things work."

　　Jia Rong said: "Yeah! There is a saying that Dou Mien raises Mi Chou. Today he took the money and agreed. Tomorrow, he lost the money and came to the door again." Ni Erqun laughed and said, "Are you still afraid of him? ?" Jia Rong nodded and said, "We won't be afraid of him. If we sue him, it won't hurt us in the slightest. It's just a problem after all, and it will hurt the reputation of Jia's house."

　　Ni Er was hesitant, and said again: "Is it you or your father who fell in love with that second sister You?"

　　Jia Rong was stunned and smiled: "You don't need to worry about this. Just keep it so that your efforts will not be in vain."

　　Ni Er thought for a while and then said: "Listen to what you said, that Zhang Hua is in Nancheng, and I have a brother, it is not difficult to entrust him to do this. I don't want your reward, but you need to promise me after the event is done. Things. If you nod your head, I will help you do things beautifully, and no one can pick out the problem."

　　Jia Rong asked, "What's the matter?"

　　Ni Erdao: "You let me meet your father."

　　Jia Rong wondered, "What did you do when you see my father?"

　　Ni Er waved his hand and said, "I'm just asking if you agree?"

　　Jia Rong smiled and said: "This is a small matter, I promise you. I mean, if you have any requirements, feel free to mention them. If I can do it, I will do it directly. If I can't do it, I will ask my father to come forward. Not too late."

　　Ni Erdao: "I help you bad people get married. I always want to see the righteous master, right? I'm just curious that it's not the same as the rumors."

　　Jia Rong asked suspiciously, "That's why?"

　　Ni Er cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Jia, Ni Er took over this matter. After an hour, I will lead my brother to Zhang's house to ask for the account. You can send someone after you estimate the time. You give me the money first and wait. When I come back, I will hand it over to your house in person, how about it?"

　　Jia Rong nodded and smiled, "This is the best!"

　　After speaking, Ni Er hurriedly left to find that Zhang Hua.Jia Rong also rushed back to Mrs. You's house and reported to You in detail.

　　You asked Jia Rong: "What is Ni Er going to do with your father?" Jia Rong shook his head and said, "My son can't think of it, and it wouldn't be a big deal. My father asked my mother to talk."

　　You said, "I'll go and tell your father."

　　After waiting for about an hour, You Shi gave the old lady three hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and asked the young servant Shou'er to take two hundred taels of silver, and took a few strong servants to Zhang's house outside the city.When the old lady got the silver, she was naturally overjoyed, so she went to Zhang's house with Shou'er right now.

　　You ordered Jia Rong to wait outside, and then said to the second and third sisters: "You are ready at home, and when I return to our master, this matter is settled, and you can't be half-hearted. You must listen to me, When I turn thirteen after the New Year, I will be my aunt. I will report two more years to the outsiders, saying that the second sister is fifteen and the third sister is fourteen. Remember, so as not to be discussed. "

　　The second sister nodded and said, "Sister is thoughtful, and the younger sisters will naturally have nothing to do with it." The third sister couldn't help but ask: "Sister, why did my brother-in-law fall in love with the second sister and me? He has to be detained by the whole family. go ahead?"

　　You Shi said displeasedly: "Little sister, don't be ignorant of your happiness in the midst of happiness, it's your blessing that our Lord sees you."

　　The second sister persuaded: "Little sister, how can you talk to the eldest sister like this? When you enter Jia's house, you will not have to worry about food and clothing, and the sisters can be together again, for a long time, and avoid the pain of separation of flesh and blood, isn't it? A beautiful thing? Besides, my brother-in-law is not that kind of vulgar old man, and he is much better than the men we usually meet. Would you rather marry your brother-in-law to be a concubine, or marry a village husband to be a wife and suffer?"

　　You Shi nodded and praised: "Second sister's words are reasonable, she is knowledgeable."

　　The third sister lowered her head and said, "I'm just afraid that when we go up to the pole and lean over, my brother-in-law doesn't necessarily cherish it, but instead insults me and the second sister. You high-profile families, once you enter this way, you will be at your mercy. So I'm a little scared."

　　You said with a smile: "You can rest assured, little sister. I said before that after you pass the door, each of you will give you a recipe to make money. After all, it is more trustworthy that your own family knows the fundamentals. That's why you didn't buy someone outside to be a concubine. Who knows that I like you, and you are still not happy."

　　The third sister asked, "Do you know what the recipe is?"

　　You Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know. I only know that my father thought up a recipe for making soap, and taught the silver butterfly in front of me to do it, so I accepted her. When you go in, it's the second aunt and the third aunt. already."

　　After hearing this, the third sister felt relieved, and happily inquired about the affairs in the manor.

　　Only the second sister asked You in a low voice, "How is my brother-in-law treating my sister?"

　　You Shi blushed slightly when he heard this, "Your brother-in-law treated me very well and was courteous at all times. Now you have handed over the power of the family to me, and I will listen to my opinions on major and small matters. Both sisters are very beautiful, you two Entering the door, the Lord must like you, sisters just don't worry."

　　While talking, You took off her golden hairpin and put it on the second sister, and took off the earrings and put it on the third sister.They brought some new clothes for them to change.Sure enough, she is gorgeous and charming, and she is not comparable to ordinary vulgar fans.You Shi praised: "It's no wonder that your brother-in-law is thinking of you, and it is really beautiful. I feel pity for it."

　　The third sister got new clothes, playing with flowers and butterflies.The second sister wanted to stop her, but You Shi smiled and said, "After all, I am young, so I will teach you later."

　　The second sister also smiled and said, "I'm afraid she has grown so big and hasn't worn such beautiful clothes. This outfit will make her happy for several days."

　　You said: "I'll pick you up in two months. You guys should stay at home and wait, let the old lady not make any noise, and there will be troubles."

　　The second and third sisters all responded.You and Jia Rong turned back to Ning Mansion.

　　Jia Zhen came out of the soap room, and You and Jia Zhen talked about the second and third sisters.Jia Zhen was delighted to hear it, and even praised Jia Rong: "That's what I did!"

　　Not long after, the concierge came to report, and a man named Ni Er outside begged to see him, saying that the master had agreed.

　　Jia Zhen also wanted to see this Ni Er, and called in immediately.

　　Ni Er kowtowed to Jia Zhen in a proper manner, and offered two hundred taels of silver in full, "Fortunately, the Zhang family has agreed to break off the marriage. The documents have been taken away by Mrs. You's family." Jia Zhen did not accept the silver, but spared Interestedly, he said to Ni Er: "Listen to Brother Rong, you Ni Er is also a courageous man. I don't want the money, it's all up to you. I only want you to work with me. I don't have people like you in my palace!"

Chapter [-] The Four Kingdoms Jointly Join Forces

　　Ni Er originally wanted to use this as a promotion step, but when he heard Jia Zhen use him, how could he not follow it?Bow down now.

　　Jia Zhen received a salute with a smile, then called him up and commanded: "Since you are working for me, I will give you a task, how about it?"

　　Ni Er cupped his hands and said, "But please ask the master, and Ni Er will definitely do it."

　　Jia Zhen said: "My Jia family is divided into two houses. There are thousands of people in this ethnic group in Rongning Street. Among them, the virtuous and ignorant are mixed, and many of them have affected the reputation of my Jia family. If you find out, you will promptly report to me and punish them. , or if there is an adversary against my Jia Mansion, and you hear the news and pass it on to me, I will reward you. If you can do it, as long as you don't kill people and set fire to it, within these three streets and four alleys, I will keep you satisfied. As one wishes."

　　Ni Er smiled and said: "If you want to talk about other things, Xiao Shang doesn't dare to brag. It's my job to inquire about news. Master, don't worry, as long as what happens in the nearby streets, it will definitely be hidden from the master's eyes and ears."

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said: "Ni Er, you have the ability and courage, the only thing you need is backing and silver. If I want to praise you, you can do it with confidence. On the bright side, we will naturally abide by the law."

　　Ni Er also smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise. I have a brother who is useless in my family. He can't do anything if he is not good at writing. He only learns a few abacuses. If the master thinks it is useful, let him stay in the mansion. ."

　　Jia Zhen glanced at Ni Erdao: "A while ago, the mansion fired a lot of ineffective people, and now there is a shortage of people. You ask your brother to come over tomorrow, and I will ask Huang An to arrange for the shop in Qianjie to be a manager." Ni Erxie Said: "Master's grace, Ni Er will definitely live up to his mission." After speaking, he went out with his head held high.

　　Jia Rong asked, "Father, is this Ni Er trustworthy?"

　　Jia Zhen said, "I can't believe it."

　　"Then why did you give him two hundred taels of silver back for him to do things?"

　　"He also knew that I didn't believe him, so he asked his brother to hold me hostage."

　　"What if he finds out about us and sells it to someone else instead?"

　　Jia Zhen pondered for a while and said, "It's possible. First, there is no crime of rape in our mansion, at most trivial matters, which are not enough. Second, I am willing to take a gamble, I believe Ni Er is this. Man. If he loses the bet, he will end badly..."

　　Jia Rong smiled and said, "If you win the bet, your father will have eyes and ears, and no one will be able to hide the big things from you."

　　Jia Zhen nodded, "You have grown a lot today! If you can do this in the future, I will rest assured!"

　　The father and son chatted some more, before Jia Zhen sent Jia Rong away.Jia Rong was free, but when her father couldn't see her, she slipped out to find Hui'er for a drink.

　　Jia Zhen and Yindie have carefully prepared more than ten soap samples here, and they have been carefully packaged.The two sat and rested after a tired day.Jia Zhen couldn't help but kiss her.Yindie smiled and pushed him away and said, "Master, the slaves will have a rest for a while, so you will do something bad." Jia Zhen saw her swaying graceful, shrewd and capable, and her heart of pity and love suddenly rose. "Silver Butterfly, you've worked hard these days!"

　　Seeing that there was no one in the house, Yindie boldly snuggled up beside Jia Zhen, "Master, it's not hard for the slave family." Jia Zhen hugged her gently, and said emotionally: "Yindie, I want to come now, I forced you to marry you. I'm sorry for you." Yindie smiled and said, "No, I did it of my own accord." She took Jia Zhen's arm, "Since my wife asked me to be a big girl, I always thought that today would come. It's just... "

　　Jia Zhen asked, "Just what?"

　　Yindie picked up a piece of delicate soap and wrapped it, "Master is so kind to me!"

　　Jia Zhen wanted to say no more, but Yindie curled her lips and said, "You don't need to say it, the slave family knows it. Only their own people won't leak the secret." Jia Zhen chuckled.

　　The two talked for a while, and Yindie went back to the room to rest.Jia Zhen turned to His Excellency Tianxiang again.Xiao Xichun disappeared.Only when I asked did I know that the old lady from the west side had taken him away.Jia Zhen turned into Huifang Garden and walked forward.It has been many days since he came here, and he found that he hadn't looked at the garden carefully.After strolling around for a while, I saw Ke Qing sitting on Ning Xi Xuan from a distance, a beautiful picture of autumn beauty.He looked insane, and didn't even sigh.

　　When he turned around, he didn't know that Ke Qing saw him too.Ke Qing stared blankly at him and walked away, not knowing what she was thinking.

　　On the second day, Chen Zhengqing, the eldest son of Chen Ruiwen, the eldest son of Chen Ruiwen, the general of the Duke of Qi's government, Ma Wu, the direct son of Ma Shang, the general of Weiyuan, and Shi Wei, the son of Shi Guangzhu, the general of the Weining of the Duke's government, came to Ningguofu together.

　　As soon as he arrived at the main hall, Chen Zhengqing laughed and said, "Brother Zhen has done a great job at home! A few days ago, Feng Ziying said that he didn't even invite you to drink a few times. I'm inviting a few of us today, right? Got something good for us to see? Get it now!"

　　Before Jia Zhen could answer, Ma Wu grabbed Chen Zhengqing's hand and said, "Why do you have to be impatient, brother? Brother Zhen took a concubine a few days ago, and she must have collapsed in the past few days. How can you compare with us. ? I heard that they are only thirteen years old! Really..."

　　"Beasts!" Shi Wei, who was beside him, was succinct, in one sentence.

　　So all three laughed.

　　Jia Zhen scolded: "Let's talk to each other. If you say it well, you will be congenial, but if you say it badly, you will be the same raccoon dog."

　　Several people laughed and cursed before they sat down.

　　Jia Zhen said: "Today I invited three brothers to come here because there is a big business negotiation."

　　Ma Wu took a sip of tea and said, "Your brother Rong is beating around the bush to inquire about the situation in our mansion, is that also for this?"

　　Chen Zhengqing said, "Do you want to see if we have any capital to invest in?"

　　Ma Wu said displeasedly, "It's your big brother Zhen, if it were anyone else, I would have turned my face long ago!"

　　Shi Wei said slowly: "Since you're here, tell me if you have any money to make. If you have the capital, you need to invest, and if you don't have the capital, you need to invest first!"

　　Ma Wu and Chen Zhengqing both laughed and said, "That's right!"

　　Jia Zhen said, "But I think it's wrong. I didn't mean to offend everyone..."

　　Chen Zhengqing waved his hand impatiently and said, "Brother Zhen, don't be foolish, speak quickly!"

　　So Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Then I'll get straight to the point. A few days ago, my concubine accidentally got a party, which can greatly simplify the production of soap, and the effect is ten times better."

　　The three of them were suspicious: "Soap? Is it the one sold on the market?"

　　Jia Zhen said: "The ingredients are not exactly the same as those sold on the market, so they can be made on a large scale." Jia Zhen then asked Laishun to bring up a dozen bars of soap on a plate.

　　Chen Zhengqing picked up a piece, only one inch square, wrapped it in tinfoil, opened it to look left and right, and smelled it with his nose, "It's quite fragrant, and it looks better than the one made by my mansion."

　　Shi Wei also took one. Seeing the different colors, he asked, "Brother Zhen, why are the colors different?"
