[Red Chamber] When I became Grandma Liu

Looking at her daughter Liu Lan's incredulous eyes, Liu Cui nodded boldly with a solemn expression and exaggerated expression.

It would be even better if there was another slowly burning cigarette at hand, so that he might have the aura of a big boss.

Who hasn't dreamed of being a boss?

It was night, and the moonlight poured unhurriedly on Liu Cui through the glazed window, quietly coating the room with a golden color.

Liu Cui stretched her waist, closed her plan, looked at the dancing candles, and fell into deep thought: No amount of candles can compare to modern electric lights, but where is my blue ocean?

Liu Cui sighed lightly, businessman is also difficult to do!

..........................................

Baochai bid farewell to Daiyu, and went straight to find her mother. Aunt Xue was currently trimming a pot of gorse bonsai. The silver-plated scissors fluttered over the flowers and plants like butterflies, smart and lively,

Baochai knew that this was the mother's greatest joy, so she just stood quietly aside, holding her breath and not daring to disturb her.

Aunt Xue finally stopped until the bonsai became lifelike, as if she was about to fly. Baochai very sensiblely handed over a handkerchief, Aunt Xue took it, and after wiping it, she realized that it was Baochai who came, and said with a smile: "I said why this handkerchief is different from the usual ones. It belongs to my Baochai." After finishing speaking, he looked around: "Where is Daiyu? You two have gone out to play together these few days, and you have been playing like crazy. Why do you have time?" come over"

Baochai looked at her mother, hesitated to speak.

Aunt Xue naturally noticed Baochai's strangeness, and she was a little surprised: "What's wrong with you today, you are so hesitant, could it be that you had an argument with Daiyu and you have something to say, I am your mother, and I don't blame you."

Baochai still asked tentatively: "Mom, can this... woman be a housekeeper?"

"Of course I can! Look at you, Sister Feng, you don't usually take charge of the Rongguo Mansion's house, and treat the servants in a submissive manner." Aunt Xue was inexplicable, how to ask this politely

"Then can I housekeeper?"

"My daughter is smart, Bingxue, smart and generous. I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future." Aunt Xue smiled reluctantly, "In the future, she will naturally be able to manage the house and become a big wife."

It's just a pity that the letter of approval just obtained, as the Xue family, Baochai can't enter the palace, and Aunt Xue's plan in this regard is doomed to fail.

However, in fact, based on the original Xue family's financial status, there is no chance. It's a pity that people have left the tea, and the decline of the Xue family in the past few years is obvious to all. Those snobs can block the Xue family to free up places. To please others.

"I'm talking about taking care of our Xue family's business. Can I?" Baochai finally plucked up the courage to ask.

Aunt Xue was startled, she couldn't hold the handkerchief in her hand, and the handkerchief fell to the ground lightly.

"You want to compete with your brother for the family property!" Aunt Xue confirmed that she heard correctly, her eyes split open.Unexpectedly, Baochai, who has been reassuring herself, would have such thoughts!

"No, Mom, I didn't!" Baochai just asked tentatively, never expecting her mother to react so strongly. "I just saw that after my father passed away, the shopkeepers under us saw that my brother was ineffective, and one or two started to fool us."

"If... let me do business... Will we not be in decline day by day like we are now..." Baochai mustered up the courage and finally said the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time, "In the past Daddy is also me. If I were a man, I would be able to manage the property of our Xue family..."

Aunt Xue was taken aback, but Father Xue did often praise Baochai: "But...that's why women do business in public, are you still married or not?"

Baochai was also very helpless: "But I want our family to stop begging for help and be ridiculed by others. If my father is still alive, our family..." After finishing speaking, he was so choked up that he couldn't speak...

Ever since Father Xue left, Aunt Xue thought that she had taken the accident lightly after vicissitudes and storms, but when her daughter mentioned it, Aunt Xue thought about her situation again. to such a situation

"No, I don't agree!" Aunt Xue rejected Baochai with sobs.

Business matters are extremely dangerous, and Baochai, a charming young lady, does not know if she is up to the task.In a few years, Baochai will reach the age of blind date. What if other people point and point at Baochai? Will Baochai marry or not?What can I do in my next life?

Since Baochai can remember, she has been very sensible and seldom asks Aunt Xue, but now she has made a request with great difficulty, but she can’t satisfy it. Thinking of this, Aunt Xue couldn’t bear to look back at her daughter’s sad and disappointed appearance, so she just found an excuse , hurriedly left.

Only Baochai was left alone.

But after a while, Xue Pan looked into the room, and it seemed that Aunt Xue hadn't been seen for a long time, so he straightened up and walked in and asked Baochai who was standing in the room: "Sister, where did our mother go? "

When Baochai saw this useless elder brother, she replied angrily: "Mom has gone out, why are you looking for our mother?"

Just as Xue Pan wanted to answer, he saw his younger sister's eyes were red, as if she had been crying, and a sense of responsibility as an elder brother suddenly surged up: "Who provoked you, I will beat him!"

Baochai looked up at her real brother, a brother of the same mother, at this moment he was full of emotions that made me feel ridiculous, and he seemed to be a very, very considerate and sensible brother.

However, isn't he the one who hurt himself and his mother the most?

"No one bullies me, do you have anything to do with our mother?" Baochai said angrily.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that I've been a little tight lately." Xue Pan teased, "I just want to ask my mother for some money."

"Didn't you just give you 200 taels a month ago? What did you do?" Baochai couldn't believe it.After all, the Sanchun sisters and Baoyu in Jia's mansion only have two taels of silver per month.This Xue Pan is really like a treasury.

"Lifang Pavilion has a new top card, and my brothers are going to join us." Xue Pan warned, "Don't tell our mother, I will say that I lost it on the way, otherwise she will blame me again."

"My sister, you can't betray me." At the end, still not at ease, Xue Pan repeated again.

If I don't tell you, do you think our mother doesn't know?I'm just too lazy to expose you.Baochai felt a chill in her heart.

"Brother, you said that you don't like running the store at home, can I?" Baochai finally asked, and made a wish, "I feel that I must do better than you, maybe even better than Dad. At that time, our family will return to Jinling in a good mood!"

"Sister, are you alright?" Xue Pan reached out to touch Baochai's forehead, although Baochai dodged it deftly.Xue Pan didn't care, and withdrew his hand, saying indifferently: "Okay! You can take care of it if you want, anyway, I don't want to take care of it, but you have to pass our mother's test."

In the end, seeing that Baochai still had a serious face, Xue Pan couldn't help beating and said: "It's just that when the time comes, I'll see if you can get married and see who dares to want you in the whole capital or Jinling. Don't look for it then." Our mother or I cry~"

Baochai snorted softly, turned her back, and stopped talking to Xue Pan.

Xue Pan had long been used to his sister's behavior, so he didn't care about it at the moment, and seeing that Aunt Xue was not there, he asked a maid to ask, greeted Baochai, and went all the way to find her.

I don't know if she was surprised by Liu Cui's bizarre remarks or stimulated by Xue Pan and Aunt Xue's performance, but Baochai actually had a dream at night. Standing in front of him honestly and respectfully, Baochai in the dream is very happy to give orders.

Unexpectedly, Baochai was different from others, suddenly she trembled in the dream and realized that she was dreaming.

Baochai stood up and looked around. Through the dense crowd, she saw her father sitting at the bottom, as amiable as she remembered, and smiled at her as usual.

Baochai's reserved and dignified past disappeared in an instant, and she rushed forward with tears in her eyes, and the father and daughter hugged each other and wept together.Just when Baochai was imagining his father confiding in how he could not stand the grievances for so many years, father Xue only shook his head slightly, still holding Baochai's hand, and slowly walked to the top position, let Baochai sit down, and stood on Baochai's side. Behind Chai.

Baochai was puzzled, and was about to turn her head to look at her father, but when she opened her eyes, she saw her own bed curtain. Baochai got up and touched the pillow, which was all wet.

I haven't dreamed of my father for a long time... Touching the pillow soaked with tears, Baochai only felt that his father's voice, appearance and appearance were still in front of his eyes, as if everything happened yesterday.

Back then, my father said more than once in front of others that if he was a man, the family business would be all for him...

However, Grandma Liu said that women can also do business, and she has seen many women come out to earn money to support their families.There is also a female shopkeeper in my house that I have met many times, and this female shopkeeper is one of the few people who are honest and not fooled.

Baochai thought a lot, but felt in a trance, as if she was divided into two halves, many people were pulling her, some wanted her to go into business, and some wanted her to live according to her mother's arrangement, it was really noisy, Baochai Chai was about to be annoyed to death.

Baochai's heart was full of activities, and her complexion changed from side to side, which frightened the maid Ying'er who was serving beside her. Ying'er thought to herself: Miss, is she being haunted?

Just when Yinger was thinking about whether to inform Aunt Xue, another maid came in outside and said a few words in Yinger's ear. Yinger understood, and stepped forward lightly, calling: "Miss, ma'am..."

"Hmm..." Baochai came back to her senses this time, "What's wrong?"

"Miss Lin invited you to go out to play with her. She said that Rouge came up with another trick, and she will try again today."

Most of the time when I left the mansion was to go to Fengji Pavilion, and now I was upset, so I just went out to relax.Moreover, that Grandma Liu looks like a wise old man, maybe I can ask her other questions...

"Go and answer the question first, let Miss Lin go to the old place to wait for me first, I will be there in a while." Baochai instructed Ying'er softly.

Ying'er nodded in agreement, and then went out.

On the other side, Huang Tian paid off, after several days of making love, Liu Cui finally found a breakthrough with Mrs. Ma!

The author has something to say:

[Note 1] The Age of the Black Sea: You can't see anything when it's pitch black.In the early stage of Liu Cui's business, she engaged in workshops and experiments.

Red Sea Era: The competition is fierce, the jungle is prey to the strong, and the sea is stained red with blood (?) Liu Cui’s Red Sea refers to the period of expanding operations and creating unique advantages.

Blue Ocean Era: Vast unknown or newly developed fields.Liu Cui's blue ocean is an unknown field for people in the world of Red Mansions, such as the advanced technology of the previous life, such as electric lights and cars. Unfortunately, Liu Cui can't do it herself(...)

This is roughly the case, taken from Baidu Encyclopedia, and the author's own understanding.

Fu Lianjun is right (...), it is extremely hot today, the cat is lying on my neck, I feel like I am wearing a thick scarf with fur, and I almost died on the spot (paralyzed)
