Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 310 General Zhongke
Good guy, Xue Hong was almost laughed at, but when she saw Baochai's very unwilling expression, she knew what she was thinking.He helplessly pointed Baochai's plump forehead with his index finger, and said with a smile: "I don't think Miss Lin is waiting in a hurry, but you, a bad girl, can't wait for a moment, can you? What are you going to see? Poems Gefu or Huaben travel notes? The ones I wrote to you in my spare time are not enough to read?"

Baochai curled his lips: "Although what you wrote is interesting to read, it is boring to throw it away after reading it once. After all, it is not as good as ancient books, which can withstand scrutiny and aftertaste, you Common people don’t understand.”

Xue Hong laughed angrily: "I'll give you a torreya! Didn't you ask me to write those 'tasteless' storybooks? Pity my homework is so heavy, and I have to light a lamp every day to make up stories for you Look, you only entertain your brother, and you don't care if I have suffered a physical breakdown from writing a storybook. Hey, you little sister..."

The two brothers and sisters were standing on the veranda talking, and behind the veranda was the wing room. At this moment, a young girl's chuckle came from the wing room.This laughter was obviously covered up deliberately. When Baochai heard this voice, he couldn't help but said: "Then... when I asked you to write, didn't you refuse? You also said that you would definitely write something that I didn't I have heard the story. I am obviously very happy, but now you are talking to me. As long as you say you are busy with schoolwork and can't do it, I will naturally not force you..."

Baochai's voice became softer and softer, but the doting in Xue Hong's eyes became deeper and deeper. He couldn't help scratching Baochai's nose: "I'm just joking. No matter how tired you are, as long as you ask Yes, I will do it. Who made you my sister?"

Baochai stuck out her tongue, suddenly saw the book in his hand, and asked, "Eh? Is this an ancient book taken out of Uncle Lin's study? What kind of books are they? Let me see..."

Baochai took the book in Xue Hong's hand and flipped through it, but after reading it a few times, she became less interested: "Hey, what kind of a collection of classics and history is it? It doesn't make any sense at all."

Xue Hong also sighed: "Yeah, why don't I want to live a romantic life every day, just like the words in the notebook I wrote. But... the future of the Xue family only lies with me and my eldest brother. I still want to live a good life." Serve your parents, and when you get married in the future, no matter what happens, I will be able to be your support... These are all my burdens and responsibilities. For the sake of my family, I have to be such a common man. Then So what? As long as my most important family can live a carefree life, it's worth it for me to be less spiritual and more vulgar."

Baochai smiled: "Then I'll be responsible for living a more romantic life, including your share, okay?"

Xue Hong laughed: "Silly girl, stop chatting. Just now you looked like you couldn't wait to read a book. Why are you not in a hurry now?"

Baochai seemed to have just remembered, and hurriedly drove Xue Hong out: "Oh, hurry up, hurry up, if you don't leave, the sun is going to set, so I won't bother you to be an ordinary person."

Xue Hong was pushed by Baochai and walked through the verandah, feeling a little relieved.What he said just now was meant for Baochai, as well as for himself.Yeah, so what if I'm a little tired?No matter where he is in time and space, he has always lived with a sense of responsibility. He hopes that the people he loves are happy and safe. It is just such a simple wish. Unexpectedly, in the world hundreds of years ago, it would be difficult to realize it. The same is not so easy.

However, his words were heard by a third person, and she was also made to listen.Baochai opened the door of the wing room, and Daiyu, who was hiding inside to avoid suspicion, had already lost her mind, staring out the window, not knowing what she was thinking, but she came back to her senses when Baochai urged her to read a book. But Baochai's face turned red, which made Baochai puzzled for a while.

Here, the two sisters went to Lin Ruhai's study to choose what kind of books to read. There is no need to mention more, just talk about Rongguo Mansion, which has been helped by various families and is struggling to overcome the current difficulties.

As soon as the Rongguo Mansion collected 50 taels of silver, it ordered Jia Amnesty to send it to the court.

Because 50 taels of silver was too much, Jia She exchanged it for gold. 50 taels of silver were converted into 5 taels of gold, and 20 taels of ingots were put into a box for every 25 taels. A total of [-] boxes were sent to the palace.The carriage pulling the gold had its shaft bent. The road to the Ministry of Internal Affairs was obviously not far, but it took twice as long as usual because of the sinking of the carriage.

But when it was said here that they were here to repay the debt, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were still confused. They sent someone to ask Liang Jiugong, a famous celebrity next to Lord Kangxi, and found out that it was the silver taels "tributed" by Rongguo Mansion to support the water conservancy cause. Order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to accept them all.

This surprised Jia She, who was escorting the gold.

Emma, ​​didn't you say you still owed money?How did this become a "tribute" again?Your Majesty, no joke, where are you from?
However, Liang Jiugong's young apprentice secretly told Jia She that the emperor just wanted to play tricks on you because he was dissatisfied with you in the Rongguo Mansion. The money was originally collected to build the river.What, you have an opinion?
No, no, no, no, how dare you have an opinion?
No matter what, the emperor was willing to accept the money, and he was very happy to accept it. Then with a stroke of his pen, he gave Jia She a title - Zhongke.

Therefore, the plaque on the gate of Rongguo Mansion can now be changed from "Zao Rongguo Mansion" to "General Zhongke's Mansion".And this plaque on General Zhongke's Mansion was written by Lord Kangxi himself.

Jia She touched his nose in embarrassment, and said to himself that in exchange for such a plaque and Rongguo Mansion for 50 taels of snowflake silver, oh no, the temporary peace of General Zhongke's mansion is worth it.

In the remaining days, Rongguo Mansion was very busy. Every day, according to the instructions of the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, all traces of suspicion of trespassing in the mansion were removed one by one. Even new slaves did not dare to buy more. The old people in front of me will keep those who can be used, and only buy a few in places where there is a shortage of manpower.Even this batch of newly released palace daughters only invited one back to be used by Tanchun as a nurturing mother.

And most of the palace daughters released from the palace this year were invited by the Xue family.

Now that the Xue family is not short of money, they can afford to invite all the palace daughters to worship them.But according to Xue Hong's idea, Xue's new-style embroidery workshop has never found a suitable salesperson, so that although the shop opened, it has not achieved the effect Xue Hong wanted. The Xue brothers, these palace maids are the lip-syncing talents that the embroidery shop is in short supply.
