Chapter 204 Chapter Two Hundred Three

Had breakfast with my aunt.

"Today I'm going to Aunt Xue's house to talk about food, would Second Aunt want to buy some together?" Jia Rong said while sitting beside the kang table.

"I don't need it here. I brought in a lot of food before the family-sipping project. Although it is a bit more expensive, it is enough to last until next autumn." Wang Xifeng took a sip of porridge.

"Auntie is quick to act." Jia Rong ate a small bun, and continued: "In the past few years, the gods have greatly reduced grain production. If the year is not good next year, there will be big troubles. This year's grain will be used as salary."

Jia Rong thought to herself that the land she occupied had invested a lot in agricultural construction. As long as there were no severe droughts or floods, there would definitely be a harvest, and there was no need to be afraid of famine.

The second aunt's pretty eyebrows frowned slightly, and she pondered for a moment: "Buy more grain and share half with me. It's a good thing for the family to have a preparation. Even if we don't do grain business, we will definitely not lose money."

Of the men in the mansion, only Brother Rong has the ability and foresight. The other clansmen are basically idiots, relying on the mansion to eat food all day long. One day, if they don’t think carefully, or there is a catastrophe, a few will starve to death. possible.

"Okay, I'll bring some back to my aunt." Jia Rong followed suit, even if she didn't buy food, she couldn't starve her.

Wang Xifeng put down the porridge bowl: "When the food arrives, I'll give you the banknote directly."

Seeing that the maid was not there: "Give me the best." Jia Rong watched her more and more, and grabbed her little hand.

"Here, I'll give you everything, what I owed you in my previous life." Wang Xifeng said coquettishly, she was dishonest even after eating breakfast.

Seeing the curtain move, Jia Rong let go of her hand.

After breakfast, the two came out, and it was still snowing outside.

There are many women in charge and daughters-in-law waiting for the second grandmother in the corridor.

Seeing the two people come out to salute.

The second aunt's demeanor suddenly changed, and she appeared as a strong woman.

Jia Rong was very happy in her heart, and the tenderness of the second aunt was only for herself.

He took the carriage arranged by her and went to Xue's house.

The Xue family attaches great importance to Jia Rong's visit.

Since the family started the salt business, the income has increased greatly, and the shopkeepers below are much more honest.

This salt is not sold by anyone who wants to sell it, and ordinary people cannot enter that circle.

Xue Baochai took half a day's leave for her brother from ethnology, and came back at noon to drink with Rong.

Since Jia's family came out as a scholar, the gentlemen of ethnology have been rewarded generously, and the rules have become stricter, and no fakes will be approved for trivial reasons.

But the person asking for leave said that Duke Ning Guo was visiting Xue's house at noon, and the young master needed to accompany him, so without further ado, he directly approved the leave, and even asked Xue Pan to pay his respects on his behalf.

Xue Pan rolled his eyes strangely during the break, and said loudly that he had a drink with Ning Guogong at noon, and his classmates were all envious.

Originally, there were people from the school of learning who were not convinced by Stupid Xue, but now they all admire him.

They are all members of the clan, and the Duke of the State did not show up at the family banquet on August [-]th, but now he went to Xue Duzi's house specifically, which shows the meaning of the Duke of Guo

Qin Zhong and Jia Yun, the leaders of the learning faction, said that Xue Pan was the top priority for other issues except for learning.

Dadu Xue was proud of himself and was happy in his heart. He ordered a table for his teacher and classmates at a famous restaurant at noon and delivered it to him.

Returned home with teachers and classmates as a farewell.

After Jia Rong came in the morning, she had a conversation with Aunt Xue, and had a serious talk with Xue Baochai.

Aunt Xue went directly to the kitchen and took Ying'er away. She didn't get involved in business matters. She was a person who experienced the wind and rain. As long as the Xue family prospered, her son had a big backer, and she had a grandson in the future, she would be right for the dead master.

As someone who has been there, can she not understand her daughter's joyful expression?

They are all determined to hope for the vain hope in the palace.

Now that there is a better choice, Aunt Xue closed her eyes and sighed inwardly, then opened her eyes and regained her kind expression.

Jia Rong talked about the details of buying food for a while, and suddenly found the surroundings quiet.

Aunt Xue looked at herself with a half-smile, so what are you waiting for?

Kissed her ears first.

The two entangled.

It was not until lunch time that she decided to make a big deal to buy as much surplus food as possible in the south. Jia Rong gave her capital and labor costs.

The grain can be transported to Yangzhou, and Jia Rong will handle it later.

Xue Baochai decided to help him free of charge and would not charge any extra fees.

There is a custom of credit transactions in this era. The Xue family only needs to send people to various places in the south of the Yangtze River to negotiate a deal with local merchants, pay a deposit, and everyone will guarantee the quality and ship it to a certain place for payment.

After hearing this, Jia Rong agreed with a smile, and thought to herself to give the Xue family food as compensation.

When Xue Pan came back to drink with Rong, he was so stupid that he didn't know what to be afraid of.

You must know that now the old lady has no airs of elders in her words, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian are faintly afraid of Ning Guogong, this is the dragon among men!

Jia Rong likes his kindness, but it's a pity that he is easy to be used by his subordinates.

Aunt Xue invited all the men and women from the two prefectures to play here at noon and evening, and the old lady also came.

Jia Rong and Xue Dazi drank with ease.

In the evening, Qin Zhong, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others came to drink with Ning Guogong at the same table.

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and other senior people sat at the same table.

The old lady found a troupe newly bought by Xifu to sing in the inner hall, and the sound of babbling came to the outside.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the hall was brightly lit and warm as spring, with constant laughter and laughter.

Qin Zhong had a daughter, and because he was not welcomed by Qin Ye, he didn't do anything about etiquette.

Jia Rong spent a lot of time outside this year, and she didn't see any girls.

Qin Zhong felt a little regretful, saying that he would bring him to the mansion to play during the New Year.

Jia Rong nodded in agreement.

Ping'er didn't come to play at home, she has a bit of a bad temper recently.

After Jia Rong walked around the inner hall, she asked Yinger for a carriage and went back to Pinger's house.

The Xue family sent Ping'er a lot of food.

Ping'er had no appetite, and looked at the many cold and hot dishes and sighed, while Li Yan and Liu Yiyi beside her comforted her.

Master Rong drank all afternoon, didn't eat anything, and felt a little hungry, so he went into the room, took off his coat and handed it to Li Yan, and sat down next to Sister Ping'er.

"Master isn't playing at Xue's house, what are you doing back so early?" Ping'er asked while pouring wine for him.

"Don't you miss your sister?" Jia Rong took the wine glass.

The slightly chubby Ping'er is really beautiful, but her waist is so thin that you can't see much change in her abdomen.

"It's just in time to come, talk to me. Second aunt is busy and doesn't have time to accompany me. You have too many things to do. I'm very lonely at home." Ping'er doesn't go out casually now.

"The family-visiting project is too busy, and my second aunt has no free time. I have time these few days, so I can spend more time with you." Jia Rong touched her cheek.

"Yeah." Ping'er started acting coquettishly, he didn't know who his parents were, and he didn't have brothers or sisters, so he was really lonely, especially in the current situation.

"There is a small kitchen in the house. When you want to eat, let the cook cook directly. Eat some fruits such as hawthorn and apricot every day. Now is not the time to save manpower." Jia Rong began to think about it, worrying that she would be sympathetic to the servants and treat them badly. Own.

Ping'er is a kind-hearted girl, with a gentle smile: "Understood, master, I will tell you every time I come."
