With the silver, the shop went smoothly. Both parties signed the contract in the morning and handed it over in the afternoon.
The first thing Jia Lian did was to fire the original shopkeeper and find another reliable old shopkeeper. Then, he moved the mirror screens that he had made over the past few days to the shop.
He even placed a huge glass mirror at the entrance, which immediately caused a sensation.
In less than a day, the news spread throughout the Divine Capital that there was a Liuli House on Jixian Street that sold large glass mirrors!
The light was bright, no different from the tribute from the West.
As a result, the glass brick bed screens, large mirrors, and glass painting screens produced by Little Flower Branch Alley every day were sold out before noon. However, none of the original goods in the shop were sold!
Jia Lian held the heavy silver in his hands and finally let out a breath of anger!
He placed the 2,700 taels of tickets into Sister Phoenix's hands." Count it. If one tael is missing, I'll compensate you with a hundred taels!”
Sister Feng saw that Jia Lian was sitting on the table with his legs crossed. He asked Ping 'er to pour tea, Man' er to massage his legs, and even hummed an unknown tune. She was both annoyed and amused." You're so proud!" When you have something to ask me, Feng 'er is long and Feng' er is short. Now, you're ordering me around. I see that even they can't compare to you!”
"What is this?" Jia Lian laughed. You'll be surprised in the future!”He openly ordered Su 'Er and Heng' Er to take off his boots and looked at Sister Feng from the corner of his eyes.
"Hmph, a villain who has achieved success!" Sister Phoenix sneered.”He sat on the brick bed." Eldest Sister-in-law sent me a message today.”She stopped halfway and looked at Jia Lian.
Now that Jia Lian had an income and bought the shop, he had already achieved his original goal. As for whether Chancellor Li agreed to the previous suggestion, it didn't matter.
"What did Lord Li say?" he asked casually.”
Sister Phoenix held back her laughter." Lord Li agreed readily!”
"Eh?" Jia Lian was a little confused." This doesn't seem like his cautious personality." Could it be a trap?"
"Lord Li is the first generation of the Wen family. How could he lie to you?" Naturally, he agreed. There was only one point. He said that since you are also a student of the Imperial College, you don't study well and only play with crooked ways and strange techniques. It is simply a disgrace to the dignity of a saint. If you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and can pass his assessment, there is no harm in asking for a few things!”
Jia Lian frowned." What's the difference between this and rejection?”
The first thing he did was to retreat. What a joke. With his current level, wouldn't he be asking for a snub if he let Li Shouzhong take the test?
"Forget it, I'm afraid that he's too busy to handle, so I won't disturb him!”
"Brother Lian, I'm afraid it's too late!" Eldest Sister-in-law had already told Second Elder Wen about this matter. Although he didn't know that you were the one who made the glass, he knew that you wanted to improve yourself and couldn't bear to go against your wishes. He personally wrote a letter to Old Master Li. He didn't know what else he said, but he praised you for being studious and motivated. He especially asked Old Master Li to cultivate you well!”
Cold sweat immediately broke out on Jia Lian's forehead.
The random excuse he gave back then had caused more trouble.
"Man 'er, where's the book Second Uncle gave me? Hurry up and bring it over for me to flip through!"
Man 'er was stunned for a moment. Where did those two books go?
"It's still under the furnace. I wonder if it's burning or not."”
Just as he was smiling, Wang Shan Bao's family came in and said that the old master had invited him!
Wang Shan Bao's thin eyes and thin mouth made people uncomfortable.
"What is it, Master?" Jia Lian asked.”
The moment Wang Shan Bao's family came in, they saw the tickets on the table and laughed,""It's nothing serious. Old Master knows that I've earned money, so he's just asking.”
Sister Phoenix asked Ping Er to keep the tickets and looked at her with narrowed eyes.
Wang Shanbao's family thought that they were Madam Xing's bedmate and did not take Sister Feng seriously.
Jia Lian sneered," This news spreads fast!”
He followed them to the main room of the East Road Courtyard. Before he could stand firm, Jia She smashed the teacup heavily on the table.
"Unfilial son, you actually sold glass behind my back! Do you still have me in your eyes?"
His white beard stood up one by one, as if Jia Lian had done something terribly wrong.
"Why do you say that, Master?" Jia Lian asked with a smile. Back then, your son was approved by you. I didn't dare to hand over his affairs to others for personal gain!”
Jia She snorted coldly." Tell me, what's with this glass? If Feng Ziying didn't come to me today, I would still be in the dark. Do you still think I'm your father?"
Jia Lian was reprimanded by him for no reason, but he still patiently explained to him,"Master, this glass is just a partnership. I know a lot of people, so I'm usually in charge of running errands and being a middleman to make some hard money every month!”
He spoke sincerely as if he was speaking the truth.
"Don't think I don't know that this shop is now under your name!" Jia She sneered. How long are you going to lie to me?"
Jia Lian thought that he had done it secretly enough, but who knew that in front of people with ulterior motives, it was simply trying to cover it up.
He quickly complained and explained," Old Master, you're right. This shop is under my name now. It's just borrowing my name to benefit the main family." Otherwise, how could I have the connections and money to get so much glass?”
Jia She twirled his beard." Are you telling the truth?”
Jia Lian replied,"Master, everything my son said is true!"”
"Then how much money did they give you?" Jia She asked again.”
Jia Lian stretched out two fingers." Two hundred taels a month.”
Jia She's expression immediately changed as he cursed,""He's really a silkpants! What could he do with two hundred taels a month? Go and call that shopkeeper over. I'll talk to him personally! How can you be so despicable by borrowing the name of Rong Mansion? This time, I must ask him for a thousand taels!"
Jia Lian looked down on Jia She more and more, but because of ethics and morality, it was inconvenient to reject him. He advised,"Old Master, these things are all their own. Our son didn't do anything. Two hundred taels is already enough. If you ask for a thousand taels of silver, it would seem like we are too…"
"Too what?" "You've grown wings," Jia She shouted,"and now you dare to lecture me?" Kneel down!"
Jia Lian was still holding on, pretending not to hear.
Hence, Jia She became even angrier. He shouted,""Don't tell me you dare to disobey my words? Unfilial son, unfilial son! Men, hold him down and beat him up!"
The servant boy at the side was about to come up and grab Jia Lian.
Jia Lian ordered them to retreat and bowed to Jia She,""Old Master, if you want to beat me or punish me today, I won't dare to resist at all. I just want you to think about it. Is the reputation of Rong Mansion more important or is money more important?”
Jia She sneered." How old are you? It's not your place to worry about the reputation of Rong Mansion!”
Jia Lian had nowhere to vent his pent-up anger.
Jia She shouted at the servants,"What? Are you all deaf?"”
The few servants said to Jia Lian in a difficult manner,"Second Master, we have no choice. Why don't you lie down yourself?"
Someone moved a long bench over and waited with two wooden sticks.
