Chapter 16 Make a fortune

 After the first snow, Kyoto has entered the snow season.

Jia Rong took five-year-old Jia Lan out of the gate of Chongming Academy. Jiao Da and others were waiting outside.

As soon as they saw their master coming out, they quickly held up big umbrellas and greeted him.

"Is today's homework heavy?"

"Brother Lan, are you okay?" someone from Ningguo Mansion asked Jia Lan.

Jia Lan is well-behaved and sensible, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Jiao Da said to Jia Rong: "The snow this year is earlier than in previous years."

Jia Rong held Jiao Da's hand on the carriage, and Jia Lan followed him into the carriage.

It is said that Jia Rong and Jia Lan are peers, and they can be considered brothers.

The carriage has already been prepared with soup pots and a heater, so you won’t get cold all the way back.

Jia Rong hugged Mrs. Tang and warmed her hands, "When you go back, you can tell your mother what happened in the college and let her feel relieved."

"Yeah."

Jia Lan is still a child after all, and he can't hide the excitement in his eyes.

At the same time, he looked at Jia Rong with more admiration. He never knew that brother Rong was a genius.

Since I can answer many questions fluently, I can also ask questions that make them speechless.

Jia Lan secretly regarded Jia Rong as his idol.

Snowflakes are falling, and the servants of Ningguo Mansion put on cotton-padded clothes early.

Jia Rong returned to her yard and saw Qing'er coming out with a pouty face.

"What's wrong? Who made you unhappy again?"

Qing'er mouthed, "The person you want is here."

"Huh?"

I saw someone opening the door curtain and coming out, standing at the door happily.

She was wearing a blue jacket and a red sweat scarf tied around her waist. Whether it was the heating or her own fault, her cheeks were red.

"It turns out that the mandarin duck is here. Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Qing'er was very unhappy, "Some people forget old love when they see new love."

This little girl, at such a young age, already knows about new and old loves.

Mrs. Liu came and asked, "How should we arrange Miss Yuanyang?"

"Just follow the example of our ancestors. Everyone should be given a lot. She is also a big girl."

Mr. Liu received the order and went down to report to his wife.

Jia Rong poured herself a cup of tea and asked Yuanyang to sit down.

Yuanyang blames himself a little. Why did he forget his identity when he got here? How could he let his brother pour tea by himself?

"I still thought that our ancestors would not let him go. You know, you have always been valued by our ancestors. I didn't think it through well at the time, and I regretted it later."

"Repent?" Yuanyang raised her head and looked at him, her eyes showing unhappiness.

He smiled and said, "I'm just afraid of ruining your reputation."

"I'm also happy if you are willing to come."

For this smart, capable and kind-hearted woman, it is better to live here than to be forced to die.

Jia She was eyeing her with covetous eyes and would not stop until he got her.

When Jia Mu was alive, she could still block one or two.

In the later stages, when Jia Mu was seriously ill and about to die, she could no longer stop her.

She is a girl with ideals and dares to say no.

I would rather die for the Lord than commit myself to Jia She.

Jia Rong personally poured Yuanyang a cup of tea.

The mandarin ducks didn't dare to pick it up, "I can't do it, I can't do it."

"Making."

Jia Rong said to her carefully: "I say I want it, but in fact I am asking for it."

"Please come over and help me. My yard is very messy and angry. I need you, a girl with a firm attitude and fair dealings, to preside over it."

He said seriously to Yuanyang: "I know your thoughts, please help me get through these disasters.

In the future, if you stay, no one can bully you.

If you are unwilling to stay, I will help you find a female household so that you can go out independently and be your own master.

I will give you one or two more Zhuangzi, let you become a landlord yourself, and let you become a strong woman."

A glimmer of light flashed in Yuanyang's eyes, she glanced at him a few times, then lowered her eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Is it really possible?"

"Others may not be sure, but what I say must be accurate."

Jia Rong got up and stirred the brazier to make the charcoal fire more prosperous.

"I have to feel sorry for you. I am not as wealthy as my ancestors.

You have to be patient for a few days, and when I make some money, I can buy some good bamboo charcoal."

Yuanyang's heart was pounding, and she was still immersed in what he said.

After taking a moment, she asked with a blushing face: "What should I do?"

"You are my big girl here, you do what you think you should do."

Jia Rong shouted in a long voice, "Qing'er."

"Here you are." Qing'er responded angrily.

"Tell your sister Yuanyang all the people who have bullied you, and ask her to teach you how to deal with them."

Yuanyang chuckled, "Brother, I'm joking, but I can't compare to Qingwen when it comes to quarrels."

Jia Rong smiled and said nothing. In two days, you will be better than anyone else.

The north wind is howling, and Jia Rong is reading around the brazier.

When he got tired of watching, he stood up and read loudly.

Yuanyang and Qing'er gather together to chat about the female family members of Ningguo Mansion.

There is endless talk when two girls get together, but they know the rules and talking quietly does not affect Jia Rong.

Two days later, Jia Rong returned from the college.

Before I could sit down, I was stopped.

"Rong boy."

Jia Lian came over from the corridor excitedly.

Jia Rong put her hands in her sleeves, it was already too cold after the cold dew.

Jia Rongha let out a hot breath, "Second Uncle Lian is looking for me?"

"Let me ask you, are your wolf and mink skins out?"

Jia Rong turned to look at Lai Er.

This is mainly done by Laiji.

In order to establish his own prestige and let people in the government know his abilities, he did not hide his secrets.

He discussed the purchase and sale of furs with Laiji.

Laiji said happily: "I just sold inferior products."

"Just sold it? How much did you buy?" Jia Lian asked in shock.

Lai Er smiled and said: "There are several thousand pieces, right?"

"Thousands! A wolf skin costs at least two taels of silver. How much do you earn?"

Jia Rong shook his head, "Second Uncle Lian, you don't know how to make a fuss, right?"

"The purpose is to do business for merchants in the name of the Duke's government. Even if you look down on merchants, you can't look down on them like this."

Jia Lian pressed his hands and said: "Keep your voice down, I did it in private and I dare not tell my father and others."

My dear sir, who is going to do business for merchants?

They all ask the people below to do the work.

But when the people below go out to do business, for the sake of convenience, they will use the banner of the Duke's Palace.

Jia Rong sighed, they looked down on business too much.

He said: "I can earn at least ten thousand taels of silver from this batch of wolf skins."

"If there is a white disaster (snow disaster) this year, excluding the loss of the porridge stall, I can still earn 20,000 taels of silver."

Now it was Jia Lian's turn to stare, "Is that so much?"

Noble men disdain to run the business, thinking that this frivolous business is detrimental to their status.

Even when he proposed to buy a large amount of fur at a low price, Laiji persuaded him four or five times.

If it weren't for his persistence, he wouldn't be able to make so much money this winter.
