In the eyes of the Jia family, Jia Qiang is still just a playboy who has got bad luck.

What can he do?

Although I had previously tinkered with making Laoshizi barbecue, I still found two recipes from nowhere and sold them to Buhao, making tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But that's it, it's completely different from a real wealthy businessman.

Why did he let those wealthy and powerful salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture cooperate with him?

He was just relying on Lin Ruhai's power to fool around in Yangzhou Prefecture. Do people know who he is?

But these benefits should not belong to Jia Qiang.

What a big deal it would be to let the second-in-command of the Xue family be the general manager!

Think again about the methods used by those salt merchants to fight for wealth...

For a time, Wang Xifeng, who was most greedy, even breathed quickly.

Daiyu was the smartest person. She saw that the Jia family was not happy with Jia Qiang, so she smiled and said: "Brother Qiang is a good minister appointed by the Supreme Emperor. After this news reached Yangzhou, we had a good time with him at the Yanyuan Yamen. They were looking for dad, but those people were visiting one after another, and they were very annoyed. The governors of Liangjiang and Liangjiang all came to visit specifically for this. Together with dad, they coaxed Brother Qiang to stand up for them, and they helped several families. Bad guys. Because of this, those bad guys also spent money to hire assassins to assassinate Brother Qiang. That day Brother Qiang was carried back with blood on his face and body, which was shocking. Dad said that Brother Qiang was blocked by someone. In the alleyway, I used crossbows to ambush him. If I hadn't been protected by someone and pushed the horse off first, more than just one horse would have died... For this reason, dad still feels a little guilty."

This statement shocked everyone in the hall. Who would have thought that it would be like this?

Mrs. Wang was the first to come back to her senses, looked at Daiyu carefully and said, "Miss, Jiangnan, is everything in such chaos?"

Daiyu sighed and said, "Who says it's not the case? Sister Bao's brother first arrived in Yangzhou, and before he came to look for Brother Qiang, he was almost beaten up outside. Fortunately, Brother Qiang was talking about something on another boat that day. After hearing his cry, I rushed over to save Sister Bao's brother and avenged him."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she couldn't sit still immediately, her face turned pale and she said, "Zhen'er, then...then how is that evil person in my family doing now?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "It has been cured a long time ago, but Sister Bao's brother has been in Yangzhou for so long that he could not even go out. His injury was cured, and just as he was about to go out, Brother Qiang was assassinated. After that, Qiang My brother said it was too chaotic outside and asked him not to go out, and he stayed there until he returned to Beijing."

Aunt Xue was very happy when she heard this. She clasped her hands and said, "Amitabha! It should be like this, it should be like this!"

After that, he said goodbye to Jia Mu: "Old lady, the troublesome evildoer in my family is back. I'll go and take a look first... He's not worth looking at. Only the scorpion is here. I'm an aunt." , I also want to go over and see you."

Jia Mu forced a smile and said, "Let's go, let's talk later in the evening when we have free time."

Aunt Xue took Baochai and Baoqin back to Lixiangyuan first. She was in such a hurry to leave not only because Xue Pan was back, but she also felt that the atmosphere in the Jia family was not right today.

After all, she is a guest and an outsider, so she shouldn’t stay too long, lest she hear things she shouldn’t hear and see things she shouldn’t see, and everyone will be embarrassed...

But after all, Jia Mu has been the head wife her whole life and is used to enjoying life and prosperity. How could she really let the atmosphere get to that point?

Besides, the real master hasn’t appeared yet.

After a while, the nuns brought in several boxes and cages, which were gifts brought by Daiyu from Yangzhou.

Sister Feng suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart and went to celebrate the ceremony with Li Wan and Yuanyang. When she opened it and took a look, she said "yo". She knew the goods. She picked up a piece of silk and laughed loudly: "This is from Suzhou."

New silk, right? It’s so fine and soft! Look at the color, it’s brighter than the new ones from Hengsheng Wang Family and Dongsheng Zhao Family! It just so happens that my family is about to make new clothes, and this color is the most authentic.”

Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I also borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha. Brother Qiang knew the recipe, so he started a dyeing workshop in Yangzhou. Now that it is finished, my aunt and I both think these are better than those sold in the market, so we asked him

I asked for some and gave them back as gifts to everyone."

Sister Feng heard it funny and said, "Didn't Qian'er become my uncle's disciple and make the yamen prestige everywhere in Yangzhou? How come it sounds like my uncle is still relying on him?"

If it were in the past, Daiyu would have lowered her face and confronted Maimang with Sister Feng, but now she has learned to endure it, just to avoid being blamed when Jia Qiang comes over in the evening.

Daiyu nodded and said softly: "Dad accepted him as a disciple and only taught him for about ten days. Dad has been cultivating his body and bones on weekdays, and it's not good yet. I have to take medicine every day...

There were many things in Yangzhou that my father was unable to deal with due to his lack of energy, so it was Brother Qiang who came forward. My father and I are both grateful to him."

Mrs. Wang couldn't figure it out: "Where is your second brother Lian?"

Daiyu's face changed slightly, she hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Second brother Lian has been busy with his career since he arrived in Yangzhou. He doesn't go back to Yanyuan to live very often. He is always running around outside. Not to mention me, my father doesn't see him very much either...

…”

When everyone in the Jia family heard this, their expressions were so wonderful!

Sister Feng almost didn't vomit blood...

"Where's Brother Qiang? At the master's place in front?"

Unknowingly, after talking to Jia Qiang for a long time, Jia's mother finally thought of asking about the real owner.

Daiyu shook her head and said with a smile: "There are too many things at home, and they are all packed in boxes and cages. Daddy went to see me, so I left Brother Qiang to watch and send them back to the new house."

When Jia Mu heard this, she almost didn't know what to say. She said, "There is no housekeeper in the house? How can we let him take care of this?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her with different eyes, Daiyu lowered her eyes and laughed softly: "If the housekeeper is not familiar with you, it will be a problem. Besides, now in front of daddy, Brother Qiang can even compete with me. There are many things.

Daddy asked him to do it. Last night, daddy also told him that he would be allowed to live in the East Road Courtyard when he comes back, so that he can study better and have some things for him to take care of."

After hearing this, Sister Feng looked at Baoyu first, and saw that Mr. Phoenix was completely confused at this moment. He stared blankly at Daiyu who was sitting next to Jia Mu on the soft couch on the high platform, as if he suddenly felt like a different person.

…

Sister Feng rolled her eyes quietly, and then laughed loudly: "Uncle is really good at calculating. Qiang'er is a good Jia family member, so I asked my uncle to go! But I'm afraid I won't be able to go as my uncle wants this time.

Didn't the madam ask the master to send a letter to the southern province? Alas, the eldest brother Dongfu Zhen is gone, and even Rong'er has suffered. Now she is pointing Qiang'er over there to inherit the title of her ancestors and take charge of Dongfu.

.How can he go to the Lin family? If my uncle doesn't nod, let him go fight with Uncle Jing and steal people."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard the humor she said, but they saw that Dai Yu was not angry and gave her a look, and said with a smile: "You are so scheming! Brother Qiang told his father that he was not willing to inherit the title and wanted to study hard with his father.

, I have to take the imperial examination."

After hearing this, Jia Mu, who had endured it for a long time, could no longer suppress her anger. She slapped the soft couch and shouted: "You can't help him! Isn't the Ning Mansion his ancestral property? Isn't the old Duke his ancestor? This evil obstacle is gone.

How can we allow him to be so presumptuous if we are so concerned?"

Daiyu's face turned pale, Mrs. Wang sat aside and looked dumb and silent. Li Wan didn't dare to say anything. Seeing Jia Mu's anger, Sister Feng couldn't persuade her for a while. Baoyu was still confused, but he was sitting below.

Tanchun stood up and said with a smile: "If the old lady wants to teach you a lesson, you should wait until Brother Qiang comes. Your old Fengjun always loves Sister Lin the most, why are you scolding her now?"

After hearing this, Jia Mu came back to her senses, hugged Daiyu into her arms, smiled and scolded herself: "I'm not scolding you, I'm scolding the evildoers who run rampant when they succeed! Now that Yu'er is back, just be good

Stay with me at home, laugh with the sisters, and stop paying attention to that evil thing. You don’t need him to worry about your family. Since you don’t have a reliable steward for the time being, I will lend him a housekeeper first and send him out soon.

When a person passes by, it is a hundred times better to keep it safe than that evil obstacle."

Baoyu finally came to his senses and forgot about his friendship with Jia Qiang. Hearing Jia Mu's words, he agreed ten thousand times and nodded repeatedly: "It's absolutely true, what our ancestors said is absolutely true! Sister Lin comes back this time,

Even Uncle Lin has returned to Beijing, so you don’t have to leave anymore. My sisters miss you very much. They even accepted your New Year’s gifts during the Chinese New Year. They will each have their own New Year’s gifts for you when you come back. Keep it for your liking!”

Daiyu smiled when she heard this, but she thought of the little opera troupe that Jia Qiang had sent, and thought that when the arrangements were settled at home, she would invite the sisters to visit and let them see the little opera troupes.

When Baoyu saw Daiyu smiling, he thought she agreed and immediately became happy again.

However, Daiyu came to her senses and said sternly to Jia's mother: "I should have listened to my grandmother's words and was willing to study with my sisters and become a female celebrity. However, my father's body and bones have not healed and he cannot use the decoction. But he has another problem."

I was always busy with official duties and forgot to take medicine. Although my aunt tried to persuade me, my father didn't always listen to her. He could only refuse because I, the daughter, personally served the decoction. My father always said that he would take it after I returned to Beijing.

If he comes back to live here, no one will bother him anymore, but how can I rest assured? After all, I am the only daughter in my father's lap..."

this……

Baoyu fell into a sluggish state again. When Mrs. Wang saw it, she felt as distressed as a knife.

Although Jia Mu was helpless and still wanted to keep someone, her thoughts at the moment were all about how to make Jia Qiang obedient and accept the title, and she had no energy to think about anything else for a while.

She would talk to Lin Ruhai in person about Daiyu's matter after finishing Jia Qiang's matter.

As there was nothing else to do, Jia Mu asked Li Wan to take Daiyu, Baoyu and the other sisters to go down to reminisce about old times, while she discussed business matters with Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng...

…

Behind Rongqing Hall, in the Great Flower Hall.

After everyone sat down, Li Wan looked at Daiyu and said with a smile: "The beauty is getting better and better now, and she is much stronger than before. She is not like a beauty who falls down when the wind blows."

Tanchun saw Baoyu following behind dejectedly, as if he had lost his soul, so he stepped forward and pulled Daiyu and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, why are you talking about Brother Qiang now, and you don't care about the second brother?"

Li Wan, Yingchun, and Xichun all laughed when they heard this.

Daiyu pinched Tan Chunqiao's face angrily and said, "You talk a lot, why did I ignore my second brother? I did it at the door. It's the old lady, Feng Yatou and the others always ask Brother Qiang."

I only mention him because of the matter. Otherwise, why would I mention him? Besides, they are all my sisters, so it doesn’t matter which one I mention?”

Tanchun laughed and said: "My former sister Daolin has really become different. Now it seems that, as the old saying goes, one's temperament is easy to change, but one's temperament cannot be changed. Sister Lin's mouth is still the same as before!"

Everyone laughed more and more, and even Baoyu seemed to have eased the desolation in his heart because of Daiyu's words, and started laughing.

After laughing, he stepped forward and said, "Sister Lin, when you didn't come back, the sisters got together to write poems during the New Year holidays and wrote several excellent ones. Do you want to take a look?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "What a coincidence, my father also took us to compose poems during the Chinese New Year, and we got some excellent lines. Do you want to hear them?"
