"Oh? Take them to the outer study room first. I'll go there later." Jia Huan casually set up the chess piece and said.

As soon as the chess piece was settled, Su Shishi couldn't help laughing out loud, and said as charming as a flower, "Jia Lang, if you have something to do, just admit defeat. No need to do this." On the chessboard, Jia Huan's car was given to Lin Zhiyun's horse to eat.

Lin Zhiyun smiled happily and ate Jia Huan's car without hesitation, glanced at Jia Huan, "Mr., you lost."

Jia Huan smiled discontently, "Yes."

Chess games are ultimately an intelligence game. The reason why Jia Huan and Daiyu lose in Go, whether they lose in chess with Yun'er is not intellectually, but that he plays chess to relax and has no concern at all.

"You two talk. I'll go outside to meet the students." Jia Huan stood up, kissed the two beauties respectively, and said considerately: "Yun'er, the Lin family has not explained the good things. You can make arrangements slowly. There is no hurry to get the right to mint coins in the mansion, it won't be so easy."

"Yes." Lin Zhiyun agreed and watched Jia Huan leave with Ruyi. Looking at his tall back, a gentle smile unconsciously overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

She was in a hurry to marry into the Jia family, and the business matters at home have not been arranged yet. Logically speaking, if she still cares about the Lin family's affairs after marriage, it will easily cause criticism. Jia Huan was deliberately relieved to her.

Although Su Shishi washed away all the bad luck and became a concubine of Tanhua, she read newspapers every day, and the news was not blocked, and she knew the general trend. Famous prostitutes were not just about talking about the romantic, poetry, singing and dancing, and also about current affairs. She often contributed articles under a pseudonym.

There is a Chengfa Room in Jia Mansion. There are subscriptions for newspapers sold in Beijing that cost more than 8,000 copies. Each newspaper has ordered 20 copies for reading everywhere in the home. Recently, the newspapers have reported on the minting and issuing silver coins.

Su Shishi said: "What does Sister Lin, what does your husband mean? He discussed with Grand Secretary Wei to cast silver coins. It is appropriate to have a cake in the mansion. Could it be that there is still something wrong?"

Lin Zhiyun shook her head, "Shishi, how can I know?" Her husband was preparing to let her be responsible for the family's finances and business affairs. She turned Xinfeng into a bank (piao number), but she couldn't get it. The preliminary preparations were very complicated.

Su Shishi and Lin Zhiyun were not close to the golden hairpins in the Jia family. Su Shishi went to see Daiyu from time to time. The two had a relationship in Jinling.

Two beauties were drinking tea casually and chatting, and Baochai sent Ying'er over.

Ying'er was agile and smiled and said, "Two aunts, grandma, grandma asked me to come and have a look. If the two aunts and grandmas are free, please go to grandma's house to play mahjong." In the original book of the Red Chamber, Sister Bao will accompany Grandma Jia to wipe dominoes.

At the end of the first month of the year, Jia Huan was idle and felt that the domino had changed too little, so he "invented" the national treasure mahjong. It soon became popular in the capital.

Su Shishi and Lin Zhiyun both stood up with a smile and said, "It's just that I'm idle." This is social mahjong.

…

…

Jia Huan came out of the back garden and went to the study room outside. Ning Cheng and Ning Xi were waiting. Ning Xi was sitting in a chair drinking tea, frowning. Ning Cheng was walking around, appreciating the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the study room and the antiques.

The personalities are prominent and different.

Seeing Jia Huan come in, the two hurriedly bowed and said, "I have met sir."

Jia Huan smiled casually, nodded, sat behind the desk, and said, "I have been busy recently, but I am neglecting your studies. Do you have any questions about the winter vacation homework assigned before the New Year?"

The course of the classics has been finished. Mr. Jia is now teaching them two courses of arithmetic and naturalness. Ning Xi is about to honestly answer the homework questions.

Ning Cheng pulled his sleeve and felt a little disgusted. What has Jia Fuzi been busy with recently? Jia Fuzi was busy taking beautiful concubines. The newspapers were written. "Sir, let's come here today. Please ask Mr. Xi to help Brother Xi. His uncle Zhou family bullied a Shanxi merchant. I was going to help Brother Xi stand up. My sister asked us to find Mr. Xi."

His sister, we came together today and went to the backyard of Jia Mansion to meet Jia Tanchun: the woman he was in love with was a woman he was in love with.

"Oh? Is it a Shanxi merchant again?" Jia Huan smiled. He had a lot of contact with Shanxi merchants recently. He took a sip of tea and asked, "What's going on?"

Ning Xi's uncle Zhou Wumin and Jia Huan had seen him. It was easy to remind him of the late Zhao Guoji. With his vision, he could understand the reason as soon as he heard it: Concubine Zhou was dead.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the distribution of economic interests was just a aftermath of the political game. In the fifteenth year of Yongzhi, the officialdom was reshuffled and Grand Secretary He left. Changes in the political structure would inevitably lead to a reshuffle and distribution of the economic territory.

At this time, the officialdom of the capital had been adjusted. The mountain chief had already sent a letter and would arrive in the capital in mid-March.

After Concubine Zhou died, the Zhou family declined. The economic benefits he had occupied before naturally had to be spit out. Or, more bluntly, snatched away by others.

As for why it was a Shanxi merchant, it was not someone else? The reason was that the Shanxi merchants are now the world's number one consortium, and the north was within the range of their radiation. The bannerman Lu Yong donated the title of Privy Councilor. In front of Emperor Yongzhi, you can say something.

Ning Xi said: "Sir, the Shanxi Shangpin Biaohao Baichuantong made a battle and swallowed up two large villages in my uncle's house in the western suburbs."

Ning Cheng was eager to try and said earnestly: "Sir, as long as you say something, I will help you run errands." He likes the feeling of pretending to be slapping in the face.

His sister said this. As long as Mr. Jia’s next famous post passes, no matter who there is behind Baichuantong, Baichuantong will definitely stop. It is not cost-effective to offend the Jia family for land worth four or five thousand taels of silver.

Jia Huan glared at Ning Cheng with annoyed voice, "It's nothing you have to do. Please figure out the nature lesson I taught before you can tell me."

He basically gave the teacher physics and chemistry. He taught the remaining basic knowledge and common sense of nature to two students. For example: heliocentric theory, earth circle theory, lightning is the role of positive and negative charges, etc.

Jia Huan said again: "Ziwen, I understand this. You can send someone to invite Zhou Wumin to see me later. I will help him. In addition, I will teach you to see my elder sister in the palace. Have you gone?"

Ning Xi nodded, and a feeling of admiration surged in her heart, saying, "Sir, I'm leaving. The imperial concubine is very nice to me."

Jia Huan smiled gently. This was expected.

…

…

While Jia Huan was teaching students in the study outside, Tanchun was entertaining her guests in the Qiushuangzhai in the Grand View Garden: Princess Yongqing, Ning Xiao.

Ning Xiao was wearing a light green long dress, as beautiful as a flower. She talked to Tanchun in the house. The two sat on the high side, drinking tea and talking. Because of Tanchun's temperament, the three rooms in Qiushuangzhai were connected, very transparent and spacious. The maids were all in the living room in the distance, with their eyes visible and hearing, and they did not disturb the two.

This is her second time meeting Tanchun.

Last winter solstice, King Ningke of Shu, King Ningxi of Yan, and Prince Ning Cheng of Wu came to greet him. Princess Yongqing also went to the Jia Mansion to congratulate him. She met and talked with Tanchun. The two equally outstanding women had similar tempers. During the Spring Festival, the two gave each other gifts, which were friends in the boudoir.

Ning Xiao and Jia Huan are the same age as Tanchun, one year younger than Tanchun. The bright and phoenix eyes look at Tanchun and said, "Sister Tan, the Jia family rejected Brother Jiu's proposal. Brother Jiu asked Mr. Jia and said that you don't like him. Brother Jiu is sincere to Sister Tan.

Sister Tan, I’m sorry. In fact, you and I were born in a powerful family, how can we be independent of marriage? Since we have enjoyed the power and wealth of our family, we must also have the awareness of making corresponding sacrifices."

This is very direct, even sharp.

But what she said was what she thought. She may be the same in her own marriage in the future. She will not go against her parents' wishes. For Tanchun, if she had to marry, why not choose someone who loves herself?

For Brother Jiu, it is also a good thing. She can guarantee Brother Jiu's character to Tanchun and will never be indifferent.

Tanchun was wearing an orange jacket, top and skirt, and Gu Pan Shenfei's eyes looked at Ning Xiao, "What do you mean by Xiao, should I marry the King of Shu for my family?"

Ning Xiao nodded and said, "Sister, Queen Yang regards Ninth Brother as if she was born. If Mr. Jia is about to rise up, she will give up Queen Yang and have no one else to change the emperor's will."

Queen Yang! Empress Relying on imperial power. She is indeed very powerful. Tanchun was silent for a while, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Sister Xiao is indeed a very powerful lobbyist. Let me think about it and drink tea." He raised his hand to signal.
