A Lady’s Tranquility

Chapter 153: Cut leeks

Views:

It is not difficult to buy a mouth, but the same sentence, uttered from the stinky mouth of a down-and-out beggar in the market, and a sharp tongue from a scholarly scholar in Shilin, have completely different weights.

Jiang Xuening certainly understands such a simple truth.

Just to buy the latter mouthpiece, the price is not cheap. And it’s not enough to just buy a mouthpiece, you have to have two cards, soft and hard. After all, the literati’s bones are soft, and if you don’t take some “hard” means as a precaution, how can you know that they won’t change their mouths overnight

After some calculations, the cost is not a decimal.

After getting the money from Xie Wei, she immediately gave Xiao Dingfei 20,000 taels to spend first. Xiao Dingfei has seen the world after he arrived in the capital. It can be seen that a boudoir girl like Jiang Xuening can shoot at 20,000 taels, which is like a lavish gesture of "find me after you have spent it", but he was still shocked. Naturally, I felt that the thigh that I was hugging revealed an unfathomable feeling, and it was called dedication when doing things.

Jiang Xuening himself began to toss about the silver stocks.

With the smooth progress of the Ren's Salt Works over there in the middle of Shu, and the news kept coming back to the capital, the price of Yanchang Bank's stock price has been rising all the way. Three days ago, a fast horse arrived at the Shuxiang Inn, saying that the first batch of well salt like snowflakes had come out, and also brought a small bag to the owners who bought shares in Beijing to see. Jiang Xuening was in the palace at the time, so naturally he didn't have the chance to see it. But before she entered the palace to read with her, the silver shares were 1,200 yuan per share. When she retired from the palace, the price had soared to 1,500 yuan per share, and there was still no market for it.

Compared with the original price of 500 yuan per share, the current share price of Ren's Salt Field has quadrupled!

For the incident when Yongyi Hou's mansion was raided, most of Jiang Xuening's 20,000 silver shares had already been sold out, and Lu Xian "taken advantage of the fire" to take a lot of them, leaving only 2,000 shares in his hands.

Seeing that the price is high at this moment, it is a good time to make a move.

According to the words of You Fangyin in the previous life, it is actually not very kind to do "cutting leeks". Moreover, she was reborn, and she knew more news than others. It was very unfair to have an advantage over other people who traded in silver stocks in the market. Therefore, when making the decision, Jiang Xuening was not without hesitation and guilt, but when she thought of her birthday in the palace, Shen Zhiyi treated her all kinds of good, how could she allow her hesitation to ruin a major event

So he gritted his teeth, and in the end, he still threw out these two thousand shares.

When the news of someone selling silver stocks in the market came, You Yue was in her boudoir trying the new clothes made for her by the embroidered ladies of Xianyunfang.

Good Shu Brocade, light blue color.

A few beautiful oleanders were embroidered on the skirt. She was slender, and when she put it on, she turned around slightly, and her waist felt a little less than full, which made her look very satisfied.

The maid next to her took the flattery to the sky: "Our girl is really a fairy, this dress can't be more beautiful, and it looks very good. What is the big girl of Jiang's house, where is our girl so good-looking, Such talent? I heard that His Royal Highness King Linzi is an elegant person, so Jiang Xuehui is boring and boring, so how can he win His Highness’s eyes? When the election day, you will put on this dress and keep it so that others will look stupid. Eye. The position of this princess belongs to you!"

These days, You Yue has been really proud of the spring breeze.

Originally, Bo Fu had a lot of resentment towards her because of the money she paid to keep her out of prison. After all, all that was given out was real money, 15,000 taels of silver, and anyone who changed it would have to vomit blood. But after this incident, it aroused her temper, and in a rage, she took all her savings to buy silver shares in Ren's Salt Field, with a total of 4,000 shares in hand.

Later, Ren Weizhi begged to marry You Fangyin's little cheap hoof, fearing that she would be a hindrance, and gave her 2,000 taels of red envelopes before and after.

Naturally, she felt more comfortable in her hands.

At first, when the uncle and uncle found out that she was so prosperous and used all the money to buy the silver shares in the salt field, they were almost out of breath, and they were about to take out the silver shares and sell them.

Fortunately, she was stopped by force of death.

Now that the stock price of Ren's Salt Works is rising steadily, Bo Fu and Mrs. Bo are all smiles when they see her, and they are more concerned about the rise and fall of the stock price than she is all day long. Her status in the government naturally rose with the tide.

And the uncle's mansion didn't take Ren Weizhi, who was begging to marry You Fangyin, in his eyes at first, but he was just a run-down poor boy in a courtyard in the middle of Shu. past.

After all, she was the daughter of a concubine, so three thousand taels was not a loss.

But after the situation in Ren's salt field improved, Uncle Qingyuan and Uncle Uncle gradually began to think.

Uncle Qingyuan said: "However, she is also the daughter of our uncle's house. It is unreasonable to cut off contact with the family after arriving in the middle of Shu. The reason why the kid named Ren was able to build the salt field was not because of his uncle. Is the reputation of the government? The businessman married the official daughter, and he took advantage of it! The Ren's salt field is so big, and the price of the silver shares in Yue'er's hands is also related to the price of the silver stock in Yue'er's hands. In any case, they can't let them mess around. The neat steward went over, taught them well, and kept an eye on the situation of the salt farm. He only issued 40,000 silver shares in the capital, accounting for 40% of the salt farm's dividends, and the remaining 60%. He should take it anyway. Come out and be filial and filial to Yue-Zhang's family!"

Therefore, after the year, Bofu has already sent people to Shuzhong.

In a place like Ren's Salt Field, once salt production starts, the snow-like well salt is like snow-flake silver. Who wouldn't be tempted to see it

You Yue did not expect that someone like You Fangyin could have such good luck.

It's just that she's not jealous either.

But as long as you Fangyin wanted, she could grab it. After others have finished the wedding dress, isn't it easy for her to wear it again? Therefore, You Yue was very relaxed these days, and only fiddled with her clothes at home, preparing to shine on the day when Princess Linzi was elected.

Hearing the maid who came in outside said that someone in the Shuzhong Inn started to sell silver stocks, she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "The current situation of Ren's salt field is very good, I wonder why Zhuo Tsutsui's energy has been continuously collected. It takes a long time for other people to imitate the money. It takes a long time for others to imitate the silver stocks in their hands, but they have sold them so early, either because they are short of money or short-sighted!"

The maids were a little puzzled: "How about you, girl?"

You Yue rolled her eyes, but suddenly smiled, her eyes glowed with brilliance, she took the key and opened her silver tael box, she couldn't hold back her excitement and said, "Others are short-sighted, but this is a great opportunity for this lady! Now! I have nowhere to buy silver stocks, there is no market anywhere! I must take the opportunity to win this silver stock!"

Then I took the bank note and seal and went to the Shuxiang Inn.

Just how hot are the bank stocks in Ren's Salt Field these days

The 2,000 silver shares thrown out were divided into four batches and released. When You Yue arrived, the first two batches had already been snatched away, and at a high price of 1,600 yuan, she could only snat the last one in time. Two batches, a total of 1,000 shares.

With the four thousand shares in her own hands, she has five thousand shares.

The other thousand shares were actually bought by someone from Lu Xian.

Due to the small amount of this batch of silver stocks, he could not determine which side came out, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

After the bank shares were recorded, he went to Xie's house to find Xie Wei for tea.

At that time, Xie Wei was listening to Jianshu's report on Jiang Xuening's situation.

After listening, his brows tightened.

Jianshu pondered that Mr. Lu and his own husband had known each other for many years, and both worked for him. He always cared about money matters, and regarded money as his life, so he hesitated and asked: "Miss Jiang moved silver stocks, like It's a plan. Will the prophet tell Mr. Lu about this?"

At this moment, Lu Xian, who was wearing a literati gown, had already walked over from the other end of the corridor, strolling leisurely in the courtyard, as if walking in his own home, with a spring breeze on his face.

Xie Wei opened his eyes and saw him.

After a while, he looked back, his long eyebrows tickled slightly, and he said, "What do you know?"

Jian Shu was stunned.

Xie Wei's expression was indifferent, and there was no difference: "Lu Zhaoyin knows a lot about business matters, should I need your intervention?"

Sword Book: "..."

The reason seems to be so, but why do you feel that something is not right

Two thousand silver shares, one thousand of which were sold at a price of 1,500 yuan, and the remaining 1,000 were sold at a price of 1,600 yuan.

Jiang Xuening suddenly had 3,110 taels of silver in his hand.

He gave Xiao Dingfei 20,000 taels earlier, plus his own 2,000 taels of silver, plus the more than 3,000 taels of silver stocks he sold, and he had 33,000 taels of silver left in his hands.

After she threw out the silver shares in her hand, the price of the silver shares in the Shuxiang Inn went up by dozens of cents.

Lian'er Tang'er said that she lost money after hearing about it.

Jiang Xuening was indifferent to this and didn't pay any attention to it. He just emphasized to them again and again that once there was a letter from You Fangyin or new news from Shuxiang Inn, he needed to find a way to send the news to him immediately.

In the next period of time, it is natural to enter the palace to read with him.

It's just that the 16th day of the second month was the day when King Shen Jie of Linzi chose his concubine, and the hearts of the people in the palace were unavoidable. Everyone congratulated Mingfeng Palace.

Wen Zhaoyi, who was pregnant, had a grand birthday at the end of January.

The palace was full of joy.

It was only gradually that some people began to discover that there seemed to be a lot of gossip in the market.

For example, the envoys from the Tartars were fierce and domineering in the capital, and they almost regarded the capital as their own racecourse;

For example, if the Marquis of Yongyi was still there, why would he still send the princess to marry him

For example, the one who set up the lord to send the eldest princess Shen Zhiyi of Leyang to go to kiss is the Empress Dowager's mother's family Xiao. I want to kiss the eldest princess who was slashed in the face by a rebel when she was a child;

For example, the eldest princess of Leyang suffered misfortune when she was a child, and she was destined to be evil, and sending her to go to her relatives might bring disaster;

When it first started, it was just a rumor after everyone had a meal.

Even the civil and military officials of the court and the field did not take it seriously.

After all, there are often criticisms of major national events in the market, that is, everyone talks casually, but nothing can become a climate. Such speculations and rumors will naturally dissipate after a long time.

But this time, things seemed to be different from any time before.

Seeing that it has entered February, these rumors and criticisms in the market have not only not diminished, but have become more and more intense.

On the second day of the second month of the second month, there was even a scholar named Weng Ang who went to Beijing to take the test .

There were not a few scholars present at that time.

Weng Ang is also a man of learning, and his words suddenly stirred up a thousand waves and spread.

Originally, only half of the people who agreed and opposed were divided.

Unexpectedly, these words somehow reached the ears of Xiao Ye, the second son of the Xiao family who had managed to raise his injuries at home. Young Master Xiao Ye received the anger from Xiao Dingfei's nest in the house, and he had to listen to these people's criticism when he finally went out, so he couldn't help but get angry. After he inquired about the source of these words, he directly used the money, and let someone secretly teach Na Weng Ang a lesson, so that the other party would not dare to talk nonsense again.

It was this lesson that made a big deal.

Weng Ang is very open-minded and has no silver taels on his body. He doesn't know what friends he has made these days, and he has given him a lot of silver money.

Just came out of the flower building that day, and was covered with sacks by a group of people.

Punching and kicking, verbal abuse.

The literati's body could not help but be beaten, and he vomited blood from the severe wound at that time. Fortunately, Jinyiwei's people patrolled the dark alley at night, and Zhou Yinzhi, the master of Qianhu, was highly skilled in martial arts and prevented the gangsters from committing the murder.

How good is Jin Yiwei's punishment

It didn't take half an hour, and the gangsters cried out for their father and mother, and recruited Xiao Ye, who was instructing behind him.

Naturally, the government of the state has made great efforts to bribe these people for interrogation to avoid spreading the word.

But where in the world is there an airtight wall

In addition, the incident this time was Weng Ang, who had entered Beijing to take the exam and was famous for his fame. It was as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest. The sergeants in Beijing were furious and spoke out with righteousness, almost pointing at everyone up and down the government. The nose is cursing!

Originally, some people felt that the matter of marriage had nothing to do with the Xiao family, but Weng Ang could only say nonsense when he was drunk, and Xiao Ye, the second son of the Xiao family, wanted to kill him secretly. How could the world tolerate such bullying

It is very reasonable but also unreasonable!

The warm wind from the south blew the tip green, and overnight, the streets and alleys of the capital were filled with news that "Xiao's guilty conscience wants to destroy Weng Ang's mouth", the truth is no longer important. The important thing is that Xiao's behavior has already made the public angry, all kinds of spearheads immediately turned around, and they all threw them towards the former noble lintel!

For a time, the civil and military officials in the court and the field were stunned, never expecting such a development.

With such a big noise outside, the palace is naturally not clean.

News will come in more or less.

The old god Jiang Xuening is watching a play.

Others are none of their business.

Only Xiao Shu, who had received news from outside for days, became more and more depressed in her heart. Occasionally, she would get emotional over trivial matters when she was in front of people, which was obviously influenced by those rumors in Beijing.

Others may think these things are coincidences.

But in Xiao Shu's view, everything that happened these days seems to have been carefully planned. Otherwise, one piece is connected to the other, how can it be a coincidence? A literati who has always been a stubborn literati, how dare to make such a big thing before the Spring Festival

There seems to be a hand operating in the dark.

She only felt that every single piece was directed at her!

On the day of leaving the palace on the seventh day of the second lunar month, Xiao Shu didn't even pay attention to Chen Shuyi. She took a carriage out of the palace and returned directly to the Duke's Mansion, ready to deal with the matter in person.

Jiang Xuening was slow.

She and the others were all behind, watching the carriage that Xiao shi came to pick up blowing away, with a three-pointed smile on her lips.

In eight days, the king of Linzi will choose his concubine, and the weather is starting to warm. Most of these companions in Yangzhizhai, who came from officials and eunuchs, have changed into new clothes.

You Yue was even more flamboyantly dressed.

After Jiang Xuening didn't run for the election of Princess Linzi, he became more and more low-key in the palace, not showing off the mountains or dew, and the prince of Dingfei never came back to show his hospitality, so You Yue felt that Jiang Xuening was inferior.

When she walked out of Shunzhen Gate, she deliberately took a step ahead of Jiang Xuening and bumped her.

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows to look at her.

You Yue gently covered her lips, looked embarrassed, and smiled: "I'm sorry, Jiang Er girl has been dizzy lately, and she hasn't said a few words, it always makes me feel like I don't have this person. I accidentally walked over and said that there was no one in front of me, but didn't I just bump into it and step on it?"

Jiang Xuening looked at her, but she didn't have a seizure, but said thoughtfully: "Miss You seems to have changed recently."

You Yue was startled: "What?"

Jiang Xuening pulled the corners of his lips and smiled meaningfully: "I'm fatter."

In the end, it is still beautiful to be thin.

Hearing her words, You Yue's face changed immediately, she raised her hand and stroked her cheek subconsciously, thinking that she had made a lot of preparations for the selection of Princess Linzi these days, her skin was much better, and she also paid attention to not eating too greasy food. Food will never make you fat.

So he sneered: "There is nothing to say!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left Jiang Xuening behind, and went to pick up her carriage from the uncle's house in Qingyuan.

It was only when she got close, that she felt a shudder in her heart.

Because the maid who usually served in the mansion was standing beside the carriage at the moment, with a look of panic, fear and panic, when she saw her, she called out "girl" and tears rolled down her eyes.

There was a strong unease in You Yue's heart: "What's wrong?"

The maid was extremely frightened, and said tremblingly, "Shu land, the salt field, the salt field caught fire and burned a piece of it, the price of silver shares..."

You Yue's head suddenly exploded with a "hum".

Her face instantly turned hideous, she grabbed the girl's arm, and said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about, how could something go wrong?!"

The sound was a bit loud, and you could hear it standing at the gate of the palace.

All the curious eyes of everyone cast their eyes.

Jiang Xuening stood on the edge, his eyes swept past You Yue's body, and cast his eyes to the vast distance: under the clear blue sky, there were already a few shadows of birds, and the ice on the rivers and lakes outside the city should almost melt, and it will be more than a month. Mountain flowers are blooming all over, it is a good time to go out and enjoy. At that time, it's probably not bad to go with Shen Zhiyi.
