But at this moment, someone from the Jia clan came to the door and wanted to provide materials for building the provincial residence.

At first, Xue Baochai and other female students in the supervision team did not pay too much attention to it. Such things were normal.

They didn't refuse directly, but brought out a price list.

There are detailed records on it, including the materials needed to build the provincial residence and their current prices.

It is very clear that as long as there is no problem with the quality of the materials, the price can be slightly higher than the market price, but the timeliness must be guaranteed.

But the Jia clan members who came to the door refused to agree. They could guarantee the quality of the materials, but the price was at least half higher than the normal market price.

According to them, the Provincial Family Courtyard is a facade project of Rongfu, and the price of purchased materials must not be low, otherwise wouldn't it lose the reputation of Rongfu?

Xue Baochai's face turned dark when she heard this. This was the first time she heard such strange remarks.

If you want to buy or sell by force, just say so and bring the dignity of the Rong Mansion and the Empress to speak out. Who gives you the courage?

I don’t know how these guys connected together, but they actually persuaded several elders of the clan to speak on their behalf.

Xue Baochai was a little embarrassed. The other party directly made the matter an internal affair of the Jia family, and it was really hard for her to intervene.

Tanchun was furious and wanted to jump out and speak, but Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu jointly stopped her. She must not get involved in this matter carelessly.

After all, those who came forward were either her peers or elders!

If Tanchun came forward, it would be easy for the girl to be accused of being outgoing and not caring about family interests.

Although everyone knows what is going on, the mainstream public opinion is that women are disadvantaged.

Besides, Jia Qin, who came forward to cause trouble, is not a good person.

At first, due to character and attitude problems, even Jia Rong couldn't stay in the clan school that he had just taken over.

At that time, Jia Rong's control over ethnic studies was not too strict, he just blindly required students to copy books, copy books, and copy books again.

According to him, if you copy too much, you will naturally remember it. In addition, you can earn some hard money while copying books. Each book is one tael of silver, and they can share half of it.

At that time, Jia Yun, who was also a member of the cursive generation, relied on copying books to help her family survive the financial difficulties.

But Jia Qin couldn't sit still at all, and violated the rules of the clan school by doing all kinds of things, and was finally asked to leave by the clan school.

This guy was so young that he didn't know where he learned his bad habits. After leaving the clan school, he became a street kid at home.

Because the family still has some wealth, this guy is idle and lazy, and he directly missed the great bonus period of the rise of Ningfu.

There is no place for him in the coal mines of Jin Province, there is no place for him here at Tongzhou Wharf, and there is no place for him at the Jinmen Port.

As for the sea-going fleet, there is simply no place for it.

Seeing the companions around me, one by one, taking advantage of the great development of Ning Mansion, they are enjoying life like a fish in water, and some even have official positions.

Jia Qin is twenty years old but has accomplished nothing. How can he not be anxious?

He wanted to use the Ning Mansion's name to enjoy the scenery outside and make a fortune at the same time, but it was a pity that the Ning Mansion was very strict and did not give him the opportunity.

He wanted to borrow the name of Rongfu, but he was taught how to behave by a bunch of stewards.

Certain things outside the Rong Mansion are basically monopolized by the stewards. Even a brat like him dares to interfere. Do you know how to write the word "death"?

I originally thought that life would go by just like that. Anyway, the family still has some foundation. My uncles and brothers are having a better life, so they have to help.

I just didn't expect that the opportunity did come suddenly, so Jia Qin naturally had to take advantage of it.

The first thing he looked for was Jia Yun.

At this time, Jia Yun had already made a name for herself. She was one of the Zhengjiupin Cangshi under the Caoyun Yamen, and was considered the number one figure in Tongzhou.

When I go home during the Chinese New Year, my home is no longer as impoverished as it is.

Even if you don't reach out to fish for money in the warehouse you manage, as an official, you will always have various overt or covert incomes, and the clan will also have a share in distributing money. The purpose is to prevent the clan members at the bottom from getting into trouble because of money.

Jia Yun understands this very well, so she has always done a pretty good job.

Don't forget, back then he had advised his neighbor Ni Er to sell iron and go to the Zhili area to join a small mine owner, and now he has become a small rich man.

He would give gifts to Jia Yun every year and festival, and the total would not be less than a hundred taels of silver...
