[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

"Where did you get it?" Aunt Zhao stared at the jewelry in Jia Huan's hand with her eyes wide open. The tassels sway gently, indescribably graceful.

Aunt Zhao knows the goods, and she can see at a glance that this gold-encrusted jade hairpin is worth a lot, at least it is worth four or five hundred taels of silver, which is a lot of money!

"Mother, don't worry, this thing came from the right place, it was given to me by the person who did business with me." Jia Huan said reassuringly.

Aunt Zhao put the gold inlaid jade hairpin back into the box with a slap, "You think your mother is stupid, you have no capital, and no one, who will do business with you?! Quickly invite the truth."

Jia Huan helped his forehead, he was telling the truth, why didn't anyone believe it? !

He had no choice but to tell the truth in a low voice.

Aunt Zhao listened, and frowned slightly. This idea sounds good. After thinking about it, Huan'er doesn't need to go to school these days. Finding such a thing to do is better than messing around with cats and dogs, so He said: "In this case, I will accept this gold-encrusted jade hairpin, and you should not publicize this matter, lest the business fail to make people laugh at you."

Jia Huan nodded, he understood the truth.

"However, the serious thing is to study. These businesses are just trivial matters. You, put your mind on the books." Aunt Zhao did not forget to tell Jia Huan this sentence.

Jia Huan smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, the child will definitely earn your life for you in the future."

Aunt Zhao couldn't help laughing, but after laughing, her heart felt bitter for a while. In the past, the two of them had a difficult life in the mansion. In the past, Huan'er offended the Xue family again, and it will be inevitable in the future Beware of Xue's attack.

She never expected that Jia Huan had already acted preemptively before the Xue family took action against Jia Huan.

The previous sentence "the green and the yellow are not accepted" has been fulfilled.

In the pear garden.

Aunt Xue looked at the shopkeeper who was answering from behind the screen. The handkerchief in her hand had been smacked into a ball. With the back of his hand, he gave her a slight nod.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, why did the inn earn [-]% less money this month?" Xue Baochai said with a smile, but there was no smile on his face.

Shopkeeper Zhao lowered his head and said helplessly: "Girl, I don't know. Although this month is the off-season in previous years, the profit is about [-]%. This year, for some reason, [-]% has been lost all of a sudden."

Xue Baochai suspected that shopkeeper Zhao was pocketing his own money, and it was hard to say clearly that shopkeeper Zhao was an old man of their Xue family, so he couldn't easily offend him, so he said a few words: "You are an old hand in this business, and it's [-]% less if you think about it. It's not what you want, but I hope Shopkeeper Zhao will be more considerate in the future, and at the end of the year he must give Shopkeeper Zhao a big red envelope."

The shopkeeper Zhao just said it was right, and left the Lixiangyuan.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and spat on the ground angrily, asking him to see that the inn's business is down, and it's the Xue family's own fault. Come and stay at the top of your family!When the old master of the Xue family was in power, they were extremely benevolent, so they expanded their business. Now that the Xue family is in Xue Pan's hands, sooner or later it will be ruined.

"Mom, I have to tell my brother about this, let him take care of it and go to the inn more often." Xue Baochai said worriedly.

Aunt Xue sighed, "Your brother won't be home all day, it's hard to see him."

Xue Baochai was helpless.

Aunt Xue didn't know the pros and cons of this matter, so she put it behind her after a moment of heartache.

In the next few days, the Rongguo Mansion happened to release a piece of news, which diverted the minds of the Xue family.

Xue Baochai thought it was a joke when he first heard it, but when he thought about it carefully, there must be a reason for it.There must be a reason for this, so she sent Ying'er to inquire about it.

"Miss, I found out that there is indeed such a thing." Ying'er opened the curtain, and walked quickly to Xue Baochai's side.

"So, that man really said he was in business?" Xue Baochai said thoughtfully, "Then did he say what kind of business it is?"

"This servant has also inquired about it, but no one knows." Ying'er shook her head.

Xue Baochai pondered for a moment, and gradually relaxed his brows: "No matter what business he does, it is still for people to laugh at. We don't have to talk to him, just wait to see the joke."

There are quite a few people who have the same thoughts as Xue Baochai.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she smiled even more. She lowered her eyes, picked up the tea cover and picked up the tea leaves. She listens, and makes the old lady happy."

Zhou Rui's family said yes.

Mother Jia really laughed when she heard that, and Wang Xifeng laughed beside her and said, "Brother Huan also wanted to do business as soon as he opened his mouth. If it was really that simple, there would still be poverty in the world." The one who can't open the pot?"

Tanchun frowned slightly, although he was not happy in his heart, but after all, the two of them are elders, so it is hard to say anything.

When Jia Huan came to pay his respects, she gave Jia Huan a look to remind him to be careful.

"Huan'er, I have something to ask you. I heard that you have been doing business recently. Your sister-in-law just doesn't have a lot of money recently. Can you give me some help?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile from ear to ear. .

When Jia Huan heard it, could he still not understand?Somehow his affairs got out, he smiled slightly, "It's just a joke, sister-in-law Lian, why don't you laugh at me?"

After all, Wang Xifeng didn't dare to make trouble with him, this person even dared to offend the old lady and the second wife, how could he be easy to provoke?

But Jia Baoyu spoke at this time. He frowned and said with displeasure: "Huan'er doesn't do serious things, and runs to do business. It's a mess, so don't talk about it."

Jia Huan fell silent for an instant.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Aunt Xue and her group sitting at the bottom, and almost laughed out loud after seeing their complicated expressions.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Xue Baochai's face was flushed with anxiety, and she lowered her head firmly.

Jia Huan coughed, "I can't see what the second elder brother said. Although the merchant ranks last in terms of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, how can one's basic necessities of life not be related to that merchant?"

Before he finished speaking, Jia Baoyu interrupted him and said impatiently: "Most businessmen in this world are profiteers, how many good ones are there? If you say that again, don't call me brother."

Jia Huan silently praised Baoyu in her heart.

With these words and this series of critical strikes, he almost began to suspect that Baoyu was his teammate.
