Chapter fifty-fifth

The light rain in winter is lingering, with a cold winter feeling.

From south to north, from Jinling to boats, from the Grand Canal to Tongzhou, Jia Lian and others felt particularly good. The coldness in the winter in the south is the wet and coldness that is so cold that it is so cold in the bones, and the coldness in the winter in the north is the coldness that is as cold as a knife.

Everyone stayed in Tongzhou for one night, and more than a dozen carriages started from Tongzhou and went straight to the warehouse of Jia Mansion on Chongwenmenwai Street. This area is a distribution center for materials in the capital, where a steady stream of goods from north to south are gathered and distributed.

After the arrangement was made, Jia Lian brought the supervisor Zhou Rui, his confidants Wanger, Zhaoer and Xinger into the inner city from Chongwenmen, known as the world's largest tax customs.

The capital city is divided into palace cities, inner cities, outer cities, and buildings in a general pattern. The central axis is divided into two counties, the western half is Wanping County, and the eastern half belongs to Daxing County.

Sishifang where Jia Mansion is located is located in the inner city, half of the west, belonging to Wanping County. When Jia Lian and his party arrived at Jia Mansion, it happened to be Shenshi in the afternoon.

The news that Mr. Lian returned to his residence spread throughout the Jia Mansion in a very short time.

The reason why everyone is so sensitive is that the second grandma Lian set up a "bully" for Mr. Jia San, and almost lost all his authority. How could the second grandma Lian and his wife be together without expression?

On the evening of October 8, Jia Lian sent his beautiful concubine Ping'er to Jia Huan's residence to post, and agreed to meet and drink at Zuixianlou at noon on October 12th.



October 12th happened to be the rest day in the study. Jia Huan reported to Mrs. Wang in advance, obtained consent, changed her clothes, took Zhao Guoji and Qian Huai, and walked to the Zuixianlou on Chongwenmen Street.

The capital has millions of people, and Chongwenmen Street is a prosperous place in the capital. The three of them came out of Sishifang and headed to Chongwenmen Street. The market was prosperous and crowded.

Zhao Guoji said worriedly: "Brother Huan, Master Lian is afraid he is going to cause trouble for you. Don't tell me about it."

Lai Wang was ordered by his second grandmother to fire him from the honeycomb coal-handling workshop. He is now following Jia Huan as the eldest son. Jia Huan told him that he would talk about this matter when the second master Lian came back.

Qian Huai said disapprovingly: "Uncle, Second Master Lian is not as good as Second Grandma Lian. With the ability of Third Master, what are you afraid of? Keep it and let you continue to go back to serve as the manager of the workshop."

This flattery!

Jia Huan smiled. Since he dared to attend the banquet, he was certainly confident of dealing with it.

Walk to Zuixianlou, located on Chongwenmen Street. At noon, the three-story restaurant was filled with traffic. People entering and exiting the door were either rich or noble. At the greeting of the guests, when they entered and entered the restaurant, a quiet atmosphere came to the face. The rockery, gardens and the sound of silk and bamboo were integrated.

Zuixianlou is a well-known restaurant in the capital with a strong cultural atmosphere. During banquets, it provides singing, dancing, piano and flute performances. There are also Hanlin people who will hold literary meetings from time to time.

Jia Lian booked a private room on the second floor, and his confidant Zhaoer stayed downstairs and took Jia Huan and the other two to the "wine" private room on the second floor.

The box on the second floor of the Zuixian Tower is named after the words written in the four lines written by Li Bai in Du Fu's "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking". The poem says: "Li Bai's hundred poems to drink wine, and he slept in a restaurant in Chang'an. The emperor called him not to board the boat, and claimed that he was an immortal in the wine."

Jia Huan pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhao Guoji's heart suddenly rose. What did Qian Huai know about a young man? The status of a man is different from that of a grandmother, so he must be higher.



On Jiafu West Road, in the Baoxia Hall not far from Fengjieyuan, Wang Xifeng was about to leave the conference hall and go home for lunch and have lunch break. Ping'er and Feng'er were packing up the tooth signs, tea cups and other items on the table table.

Wang Xifeng tidied up her clothes, and a smile suddenly flashed across the corner of her mouth, and said, "It's time to arrive?"

Ping'er could understand the meaningless words. She sighed quietly in her heart. She really told Jia Huan that she wanted to fight. But grandma was very afraid of Jia Huan, and this time she asked the second master to come forward.

The second master had many ways to teach Jia Huan a lesson. Even if he beat Brother Huan, it would be fine. The mansion was originally focused on: the elder brother taught his younger brother the rules. Seeing Jia Cong, he was afraid that the second master would be very afraid.

Ping'er calmed down and replied, "It should start."

"Let's go back!" A hint of pride flashed in Wang Xifeng's eyes. She had agreed with her husband.



Jia Huan pushed open the door.

The private room was elegantly arranged, and a gentleman was playing the piano under the screen. At the wine table in the middle, Jia Lian was drinking tea alone. He was wearing a white and blue brocade robe, with red lips and white teeth, and a very handsome young man.

When Jia Lian saw Jia Huan come in, his face was calm and said, "Brother Huan is here, let's sit down." As he said that, he ordered the restaurant to drink and drink.

As soon as he returned home from outside, he heard Feng Jie'er angry that she was bullied and cut off her wealth of more than 1,000 taels of silver a year, asking him to help him vent his anger.

When I heard this, I realized that it was Jia Huan. Feng Jie'er could not tell him, but could not beat him with small tricks. He also had a tacit understanding with his eldest wife (Mrs. Xing), set up a bureau, and scolded Feng Jie'er in public and almost lost all his authority.

It's really a good skill! Do you really think that Master Lian is a decoration? Originally, Feng Jie'er was so angry that she vomited blood by Jia Huan, so he wanted to talk to Jia Huan. But he was busy with work and had to go to Jinling to purchase it. He only returned home a few days ago.

Jia Lian's face made the atmosphere in the box feel a little depressed.

Jia Huan nodded and sat quietly at the round table.

The pavilion brought the exquisite dishes one by one: four plates of delicacies and a pot of wine. In a moment, the fragrance in the private room was filled with fragrance.

Jia Lian poured a glass of wine himself, took a sip, and sneered: "Brother Huan, you are so capable. In June, your second sister-in-law was so angry that she vomited blood, and then instigated the eldest wife to scold her in public. Do you think I'm a decoration?"

As he said that, Jia Lian took out a 100 tael silver note from his arms, pressed it on the table, and said coldly: "This is the discount of 20% of your dry stocks in the honeycomb coal workshop. That's all the friendship between us brothers. I heard that you are planning to target your second sister-in-law. Now you give me an explanation. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Huge pressure came to my face.

Jia Huan knew that if Jia Lian wanted to teach him a lesson, he would have much more methods than Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng was just the housekeeper in the Jia family. Apart from the food and accommodation, there were not many places to control him. Jia Lian was different. He had the connections of the Jia family, and it was only a few words to suppress him. Watching Jia Lian, it was basically impossible for him to make money outside the Jia family.

But he was not unprepared today.

Jia Huan was silent for a few seconds and asked, "Does Brother Lian know that my second sister-in-law gave me rotten food?"

Jia Lian was staring at Jia Huan coldly, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Feng Jie'er didn't tell him about this.

Jia Huan paused for a while and asked again: "For June, my second sister-in-law wants to deduct me a reputation for writing a storybook for a talented man and a beautiful woman. Does Brother Lian know about it?"

Jia Lian pondered slightly.

Jia Huan continued: "In August and September, my second sister-in-law deducted the monthly money from my mother's house and I, don't pay it. Does Brother Lian know?"

Jia Lian's arrogant aura began to weaken. With his temperament, he could not do such dirty things as deducting monthly money. Feng Jie'er did too much.

Jia Huan stood up, bowed to Jia Lian, and said aloud: "I respect Brother Lian's second brother to protect his second sister-in-law's wishes. If a man can't even protect his wife, it will be too cowardly. Therefore, I will accept these 100 taels of silver notes, and the cooperation between the Fengwo Coal Workshop will be terminated.

Brother Lian is a particular person. If you change to ordinary people, I can’t get the 100 taels of silver. Brother Lian is particular, and I can’t ignore it. This is the plan for the honeycomb coal workshop to ‘fight gold every day’. Please accept it.”

When Jia Huan said the four words "a day to make money", Jia Lian felt aroused. He would never be able to get along with money.

Jia Lian thought so in his heart, and the pressure he had deliberately created from the beginning suddenly disappeared into an invisible state.

Jia Huan took out a few pieces of bamboo paper from his sleeve and wrote the bound plan book and handed it to Jia Lian. This was the plan he wrote after receiving Jia Lian's post. As a former middle-level manager of a large enterprise, writing a feasible market plan is easy and easy to get.

After taking it, Jia Lian did not read it immediately, but looked at Jia Huan. He was still waiting for Jia Huan's final reply before making a decision.

Jia Huan sat down again, poured himself a glass of wine, and said slowly and firmly: "My condition is not bad in the mansion now. Second sister-in-law should not mess with me again. We are in peace. If Second sister-in-law still wants to trample me on the ground and step on her feet, I will definitely fight back."

"Hmph! Brother Huan, you are a leader!" Jia Lian mocked. He was not satisfied with Jia Huan's answer. He hoped that Jia Huan would apologize to Feng Jie'er. But after hearing Jia Huan's three questions, he forced Jia Huan to apologize. He could not do such a thing.

Jia Huan smiled, didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass to drink. His attitude was just like that. Brother Lian was going to do it!

Jia Huan did not think that he was wrong in dealing with Wang Xifeng. It is true that Jia Lian put a lot of pressure on him. But he disdained to "beg for mercy" in front of Jia Lian and said a few words: I promise not to provoke Wang Xifeng again.

Although, he did not have any plans to deal with Wang Xifeng again.

A person needs to be flexible and flexible in doing things, but some principles must be adhered to. If you feel a little pressure, your knees will become weak. Such a person cannot do big things!

Jia Lian looked at Jia Huan for a while and saw that he was always drinking and eating food calmly. He snorted coldly and read the "Daily Fighting Gold" plan given by Jia Huan.

He was still dissatisfied with Jia Huan's attitude. He did not have the respect he deserved to respect Mr. Lian. Is this the attitude you, an 8-year-old little son, should have?

However, as the reading plan deepened, Jia Lian's face began to change and his psychology also changed. Jia Huan's plan was not long. It mainly involved the honeycomb coal handicraft workshop: market, expansion, management, sales, cost control, procurement, etc.

Honeycomb coal, a product that can fully improve the utilization rate of heat energy, has a natural market competitive advantage. Jia Huan’s grand plan is to allow Jia Lian to expand the supply of honeycomb coal from the Jia Mansion to the mansion of the four kings and the Bagongs. How much profit will this bring?

With a cup of tea, Jia Lian turned to the last page and saw the simple financial statements listed by Jia Huan. He couldn't help but take a breath: Three months in a winter, the expected profit is 8,000 taels of silver. This is a profit for a year, and it will be available every year in the future.

Jia Lian looked up at Jia Huan, his voice trembling slightly excitedly, "Brother Huan, are you sure?"

Jia Huan nodded calmly, "Confirm."

Suddenly, Jia Lian suddenly felt a little embarrassed. If you take out this method of "turning stones into gold", will Jia Huan's 20% of his share be worth 100 taels of silver?

He himself felt it was unreasonable.

But Jia Huan, a little boy, openly "bullyed" his wife and asked him to continue to cooperate with Jia Huan in business, but he couldn't bear to face it.

Troubled!

Jia Lian was filled with hesitation and confusion, and he forgot that he had invited Jia Huan to have dinner to ask for punishment.
