- After Emperor Kangxi dismissed the morning court, he summoned Duolong, the chief guard of the imperial guards, alone in the imperial study. (eng.com) Duolong presented a stack of secret information to the emperor for inspection. Kangxi flipped through it briefly, and the background of his personal resume read:
Yang Ji, twenty years old, was the eighth son of the late Aixinjueluo Shangshan. He was born as a concubine and his biological mother was a Yunnan Miao girl. She died. Kangxi left home at the end of his eighteenth year, with no permanent property, and has been begging on the streets ever since. The street nickname is Yang Jixiang.
Kangxi raised his eyes, and Duolong quickly lowered his head and replied in a lowered voice: "Your Majesty, I have spare time to stay with this person"
Kangxi frowned when he heard this. This matter was not good. If he were an ordinary civilian, he would probably have less scruples. It just so happened that that person was a member of the Jueluo clan. Something crazy was going to happen. Mongolian Princess was It¡¯s not easy to mix casually.
"Only women and villains are difficult to care for. Not only Kangxi thought this way, but Wang Yongling was also puzzled. Wang Yongling is now kneeling in front of his grandfather Wang Hongchang, bowing his head and thinking about his mistakes.
Wang Hongchang slammed the tea bowl in his hand on the ground at the door, and scolded him with a stern tone:
"I've always spoiled you too much, and you don't know how high the sky is. Fortunately, I'm not here. Otherwise, I'd have to break your legs too"
Wang Yongling did not defend himself, but remained silent and knelt down.
Wang Hongchang stared at his beloved grandson, who was always alert, like a gourd with a saw beak in front of his eyes, and blood surged in his chest. I think that the Wang family has worked hard for several generations to accumulate tens of thousands of wealth. They have always been cautious in educating their children and grandchildren. They have meticulous clothing and detailed etiquette. They are neither coquettish nor indulgent nor lazy.
Wang Yongling, the eldest grandson of the family, has been smart since he was a child and has always been more mature and stable than many teenagers of the same age. Now he suddenly had an idea. In just three or four days, he had withdrawn 50,000 taels of silver from the branch accountant in the capital, and it was not used for the general business association's affairs
The head of the family carefully interrogated Wang Yongling's personal servant Wang Feng, where did the fifty thousand taels of silver go?
¡ª¡ªAnswer: I have used up all the 50,000 taels and bought a lot of things.
The boss asks again, where is that thing?
¡ª¡ªAnswer: I gave them all to Miss Lin.
The boss immediately felt his chest tightening. It wasn't five hundred, five thousand,it was fifty thousand taels of silver spent in vain. No prodigal family can be so prodigal. For three to five taels of silver, I can buy a pretty and upright little girl from a nanny. For thirty or fifty taels of silver, I can go to the brothel and flower shop to have as much fun as I can. Three to five hundred taels of silver was the price tag for a courtesan and a courteous man. Three to five thousand taels of silver is enough for a noble family member to marry his first wife. Wang Yongling was very capable, and he spent fifty thousand taels. Mr. Wang didn't even know who Miss Lin was, and when asked about his grandson, he remained silent and refused to tell her, which was really irritating.
Wang Hongchang couldn't bear to beat him, so he could only flick his sleeves and go out, leaving Wang Yongling alone on his knees thinking about his mistakes. However, Wang Yongling's thoughts were confused and he was not worried about his grandfather's scolding. Instead, he was worried about why Lin Duo'er was angry again.
Sister Lin is not an ordinary delicate person, she is a very delicate person.
Wang Yongling invited the embroiderer from Jinqiao Pavilion to come and tailor new clothes for Lin Duoer. They chose Xuan silk, Hang forged Suzhou embroidery, etc. Lin Duoer muttered that the fabric pattern was a bit outdated
For food, drink and use, Wang Yongling prepared the most expensive spring tea of ??the year, the best Baige jade porcelain from the official kiln, and exquisite items from a century-old shop in the capital Lin Duoer took a few sips at will and said the taste was mediocre
In his spare time, Wang Yongling accompanied Lin Duoer to visit the three alleys of Xi'anmen twice. The three lanes of Xi'an Gate are extremely famous because they are adjacent to the Xi'an Gate of the Forbidden City. In addition to the two earl mansions on the front street, there are many prosperous gold shops lined up in the back streets. Being able to operate a shop on this inner city street is equivalent to opening a shop in Beijing, the Bund in Shanghai, or on the banks of the Seine in Paris. It has a veritable backing, and several of them are official stores run by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
They range from Western horse snuff bottles for gentlemen to double-sided silk embroidered mandarin duck handkerchiefs for ladies; to large tapestry jade carved gums and gilt red sandalwood ancient racks; treasures such as Wang Xizhi¡¯s calligraphy and the Western Han Dynasty mutton-fat white jade tripod; expensive. Such as the top-quality pearls that are a specialty of the South China Sea, and red corals that are two feet high The three alleys of Xi'anmen have everything you need for fun, entertainment, and wealth. Even if there was no goods at the time, as long as he could afford the money and find the right way, the boss would naturally be able to help him get through Therefore, Santiao Lane has another nickname, called Jinjin Lane.
At that time, Miss Lin Duoer was sweeping the streets and shopping in the three alleys. Fortunately, Wang Yongling was accompanying her. Anyone else who had nothing to do with it would probably have to think twice. Because Lin Duoer was raised in the inner courtyard of a deep palace since she was a child, she has a very high vision and low common sense. The appreciation level of gold and jade jewelry can be called a master level, but there is no basic concept of price and money.
Whenever she sees something she likes, Miss Lin will always look at it.He nodded and said casually, "I'll take this." "I'll wrap that up." "Brother Wang, does this hairpin look good on me?" Wang Yongling's answer is always that it looks good, and his eyes also contain great enthusiasm and appreciation.
"Brother Wang, this jade medal is of clear color and looks very elegant hanging on your belt."
"Oh, my father likes Mi's freehand landscapes very much."
Three times like this, Wang Yongling accompanied Lin Duoer and bought four paintings and calligraphy from the previous dynasty, several pieces of top-quality seed jade flat squares, three sets of Huizhou's Four Treasures of the Study and others such as sardonyx bracelets, Several pairs of emerald bracelets inlaid with silver leaves, a hundred birds facing the phoenix sky hairpin, a silk peony Tianluan hairpin, and even bought a white marble bed with a small Xuan window, etc.
However, Lin Duoer casually placed those gold beads and jewelry on the dressing table without taking it seriously. Instead, she patiently and carefully knitted a five-bat Ruyi silk ribbon on a jade plaque with excellent water color, and tied it to Wang Yongling's belt with her own hands. . At that time, Lin Duoer still laughed at Yan Yan and said:
"Brother Wang, I will make a hat when I have free time. I can put the jade flat square on it for decoration"
Wang Yongling was immediately elated when he heard this, and felt that it was worth it no matter how much money he spent. In ancient times, because women wore hairpins in their buns, only men would wear polygonal melon hats when going out. Therefore, Lin Duoer said she wanted to make a hat with flat squares, so she must have made it for him. A young girl's willingness to sew clothes, hats, shoes and socks for a single man should be an extremely intimate act.
Originally, the two of them were getting along harmoniously, but suddenly one day, Lin Duoer asked Wang Yongling for five thousand taels of silver, but refused to tell him the use. Wang Yongling took the family seal and went to the branch hall to pay money. However, Wang Hongchang, the head of the family, happened to rush back to the capital and ordered the branch shopkeeper to strangle Wang Yongling's authority to pay money. Wang Yongling had no choice but to go back and discuss with Lin Duoer tactfully, saying that it was not convenient at the moment and he had to take it slow.
Lin Duoer was anxious, and she was a little annoyed when he brushed her off, with a stern look on her face.
After a while, Lin Duoer suddenly said, "Just sell this white marble bed."
Wang Yongling was stunned when he heard this. It's not that he feels sorry for Yin Zi, because after all, he comes from a worldly business background and has a sophisticated vision. At that time, I spent a huge sum of money to buy many rare jewelry for Lin Duoer. In fact, it was not considered a random purchase. Those things themselves were not ordinary items and had a certain collection value. Therefore, even if I spent tens of thousands of dollars, I bought antiques and beautified people at the same time. Being happy is worth it.
"However, it has only been two days and it has to be sold after changing hands. It is simply a foolish behavior to suck in the highs and cut the flesh at the bottom. What's more, this white marble bed is not an ordinary gold and silver ornament. The market demand is narrow, and it is easy to find no suitable wealthy buyer. Most of them will be sent back to the three alleys of Xi'anmen for trading.
The people who do business in Santiao Alley are all sophisticated people. Wang Yongling can guess it without asking in person. Second-hand goods will be discounted. What's more, it is an urgent sale. Something bought with nine thousand taels of silver can be sold for five yuan at most. Just a thousand taels. Wang Yongling has been doing business with his father and grandfather since he was a child. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he has never done such a loss-making business.
Wang Yongling was depressed and silent at that time.
Seeing that he refused to act, Lin Duoer became angry and said, "Brother Wang, didn't you say that you gave me this white jade bed? Then I can do whatever I want with it, right?"
Wang Yongling nodded. Lin Duoer then said: "Then sell it. I want to get the money as soon as possible."
Wang Yongling only said one word: "Okay."
Then, Wang Yongling sent someone to Santiao Lane in Xi'anmen to contact the shopkeeper of Zhenbaozhai and ask him to come and retrieve the goods. After such repetitions, Wang Yongling took back 5,600 taels of bank notes from Baofeng Bank after bargaining, and handed them all to Lin Duoer.
Lin Duoer went out after getting the banknote. When she came back, she still looked gloomy.
Wang Yongling saw this and felt very depressed. He felt that there was an insurmountable gap between himself and Lin Duoer, and he couldn't explain why.
Later, Wang Hongchang, the head of the family, sent several servants in charge and summoned Wang Yongling to the capital branch for questioning. He was under strict supervision, and as soon as the grandfather and grandson met, they received a round of sharp criticism.
