Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

In the following three or four days, every time Xiangyun came to look for Baoyu, he couldn't ignore her every time, not to mention that he didn't have so many reasons, so he had to accompany the little girl to talk about childish and unnutritious topics.

He is not disgusted with this straightforward little girl, besides, he can be said to be able to talk, but the age gap is too big, and there is really no common topic.In addition, in his previous life, he also saw a red scholar's point of view saying that Cao Xueqin actually wanted Baoyu and Xiangyun to be together after Daiyu's death, which made him respect Shi Xiangyun even more.But since I'm still a child and I'm not sensible yet, it's okay to play occasionally.

It's just that she is too clingy!Do you want me to practice a word and you lie on the desk and stare at me eagerly!Baoyu roared in his heart!I have been stuck by her for the past few days so I haven't practiced well!

That day he got up early on purpose, and before Xiangyun got up, he hurriedly told Jia Mu that he was going out today and would not come back for lunch. When he came back, he would bring little things for Sister Yun to make her happy.Mother Jia readily agreed and asked the servants to protect him.

Baoyu disappeared as if he had received an amnesty.Yesterday, Mingyan said that Fu'er had taken a fancy to a place and asked him to come out to have a look, so he brought 200 taels of silver notes today, probably about the same.Come to Suiyuxuan to find Fu'er and let him lead the way.Walking all the way through the bustling business district, I came to a store.

Fu'er asked Baoyu to go in and sit down, and then she started to shout: "Uncle He! My master is here! Come out quickly!" I saw an old man about fifty years old running out of the inner hall.

He hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead while running.Baoyu hurriedly got up and went to support him: "Old man, don't be so anxious, be careful that your body can't bear it!" The old man was flattered, bowed his waist and thanked him: "Young master, you are very polite! The little old man can't afford to be called Mr. Ah! Please sit down!"

Baoyu helped him to sit down first, then sat down himself, and asked: "I heard from my boy that you intend to sell this store at a low price? I don't know why you are so eager to sell it so cheap? "

Uncle He frowned and sighed: "I can't help it! My family originally came from the countryside and wanted to start a small business here. It's been a few years. At the beginning, the business was pretty good and I made a lot of money. With some money, I expanded the shop again, and it became what it is now. Unexpectedly, a new shop appeared in the same industry in the past few years, and the business was very hot, which knocked me down. Now it is ten and a half months. Customers came to the door, and the family was empty, so I had no choice but to quickly sell the storefront, thinking about getting some money, and taking the whole family back to the countryside to plant a few acres of land. That’s why.”

Baoyu felt sympathetic when he heard this, and asked, "What business did you do?" He Bo said, "I'm in the cloth business. I don't remember the name of that new shop. I only heard that it seems to be some kind of Mr. Jiang." Open." Hearing this, Baoyu immediately understood, isn't that Jia Lian's shop?He and Fu'er looked at each other, stood up and made a bow, and said with a smile:

"Since this is the case, I have to apologize to you. The Mr. Jiang you mentioned is exactly my cousin." Uncle He was very surprised: "What? So you are from the same family?! Let's go! I This store won’t sell it to you!” As he said that, he was about to drive people away.Mingyan and Fu'er hurriedly stopped him, and shouted: "Well, you old man who doesn't know what to do, my son talks to you nicely, but you want to chase him away instead? Today I will teach you to know your ancestors!"

Baoyu smiled and watched him struggle.Although he is not a bully, he is not a philanthropist, nor is he a soft persimmon.When he ran out of strength, he just stared at him fiercely before he said: "Uncle He, I hope you understand that shopping malls are like battlefields, and it is common for those who are proud to cry. I can understand what happened to you. I am also very sympathetic. Our intention is not to target your family, this is the law of the market, and there is no need for you to hate us."

Seeing that he was still angry, he smiled and said: "How about this? If you give me the shop, I can give your family the money to live and find a job for you. If you agree, you will follow me in the future. If I do something, if you disagree, then I will naturally have a way to buy this shop, and your family will only get a few taels of silver, or you have to go back to the countryside to farm. You, think about it carefully?"

After speaking, he sat down leisurely, sipping tea leisurely, saw that He Bo's face had softened a little, and secretly smiled in his heart: It seems that not only can we get a shop today, but also get a cheap shopkeeper!hehe!

Sure enough, before Baoyu finished his cup of tea, Uncle He said, "Okay! I promise you! You have to keep your word!" Baoyu put down the cup with a smile, and signaled Mingyan and others to let go with his eyes.He Bo saw that he had let go, so he straightened up quickly and moved around.Baoyu got up and went to him.Although he is only a five-year-old child and not as tall as He Bo, he has an aura as soon as he stands there, which makes people bow their heads unconsciously.

He smiled with Uncle He smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes, and said, "Don't get angry, Bo He, I just did it as an expedient measure." Uncle He snorted.

Baoyu was not annoyed, and still smiled: "I really want to buy this store, and I also want to give you a way out. My cousin's business is doing so well, and I don't want to lose to him. That's why I came up with this idea. I need someone to help me manage the business of this store, and I want to ask you to be the shopkeeper, what do you think?"

When Uncle He saw this little boy, he smiled warmly at himself. He knew that the business was not good and he could not blame others, not to mention that he did not behave rudely. angry.Besides, the conditions he offered are indeed attractive enough, he can continue to be the shopkeeper in his own store, and can still earn money every month, why not do it?

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "This young master is right. I was in a hurry just now. I hope you will forgive me if I offend you." Seeing that he agreed, Baoyu was very happy in her heart, and said with a smile, "Okay! So let's Let’s talk about it. Uncle He, please show me the situation in this store first.”

Immediately He Bo took them on a tour.First of all, there are three large rooms in the front without division, forming a whole horizontal room. This is the facade, the door is very wide, and the windows are also large.There is a door on the left and right of the front shop, with side rooms on both sides, and a patio in the middle after entering.He Bo explained: "There is a storage room and a row of houses behind the courtyard, and my family and I live in it."

There is a courtyard at the back, a bit like a courtyard house, with a row of rooms at the back, and a large open space in front with plenty of sunlight.Baoyu was very satisfied: "Yes, it meets my requirements, but the yard is still a bit small." After watching, the group returned to the front shop.

Uncle He asked, "I don't know what you think, my lord?" Baoyu said, "I'm still very satisfied overall. Uncle He, since that's the case, we will sign the contract immediately, and you will work under me from now on. Let me tell you the truth, in the future I may not stay in Shangdu, so I have to use my own people for business here. If you swear to serve me faithfully, I will accept you as a family member. As for life, as long as you do well, I will not Let your family be wronged. You should think about it."

Uncle He knelt down and said, "Thanks to the young master for not giving up, taking in the young old man's family, and letting me be the shopkeeper, this kindness and virtue, I will never forget it in my life! I swear here, I wish to serve the young master for the rest of my life, be loyal and never give up. Don't have two minds!" This Uncle He is an honest man, and now that he has invested in precious jade, he has one heart and one mind, but he is a true loyal servant.

Baoyu was very happy, helped him up quickly, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'm relieved. I don't know how much money you're going to sell?" Uncle He hurriedly said, "Even I work for the owner, so this shop is natural. It’s also yours, how can you ask for money?” He resolutely refused to accept money.

In desperation, Baoyu had no choice but to give him 50 taels, and told him: "You set aside part of the money for your own use. I paid for your shop at that time, and the other part, I need you to find a way to buy some to make rouge." The stone bowl, stone pestle, etc., and fine cloth, etc. In short, it is a complete set of equipment for making rouge and gouache. Buy more sets. If you don’t have enough money, go to Suiyuxuan to find Fu’er, and I will give it to you again. This is going to be done."

He Bo repeatedly agreed.Wait until they leave before thinking: equipment?what is it
