[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

"I thought it was a hen that could only lay golden eggs, but it turned out to be this kind of chicken!" When Aunt Xue mentioned this to her sister, Mrs. Wang, her face was filled with grief, "Now I want to come, but it was Baochai that day! She knew that people who were loyal to the prince's mansion would come to collect debts, but she dared to throw this mess to Xue's family, making it clear that she wanted to entrap her brother. Such people are simply disloyal, unrighteous, filial and fraternal!"

Mrs. Wang's face remained unchanged, she listened calmly, drinking tea while listening, her mind was only planning for Baoyu's upcoming marriage, how could she have time to meddle in Aunt Xue's family affairs?

On the other hand, Wen Xing, the maid who was serving Aunt Xue, was very surprised when she heard what Aunt Xue said.Recalling that day, everyone spent a lot of bickering in order to compete for this shop.Mrs. Wang didn't go around with Mrs. Wang Ziteng very often. For this reason, she was brought here to talk about the matter, and she pretended to be crazy, saying that Xue Pan pointed to this shop as a betrothal gift, and desperately persuaded Baochai to give up the shop for his brother. .I still remember that at that time Baochai faltered, seemed to have something to say, but was ignored by Aunt Xue.Now Aunt Xue has got her wish, but because the shop is not going well, she complains about her daughter instead.This kind of contradictory and shameless, even if Wen Xing is a little maid, she is quite shameless.

When Wen Xing went out on the way, she quietly told her good maids what she had seen, and the maids waved their hands and laughed secretly: "You know her? Since the death of this man, she has become more and more I'm so confused. Originally, the eldest lady came forward to help, but now that the eldest lady is forced to leave, I'm afraid that even more stupid things can be done."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Actually, even if there were no people loyal to the prince's mansion to blackmail, the shop would have been ruined by the uncle. I heard that the whole place is full of smog, and the people inside are walking, scattered, and a little Those who are capable, who would be willing to be angry there? I only hate that we are all servants of the Xue family, and we can't get away, otherwise we would have given up another family, so how can we be here? Let's go, it can be seen that she is the number one foolish person in the world, and she is still pointing at her to do you good?"

All the servants gathered in one place, whispering, and suddenly another person said loudly: "Everyone, let's talk about it, there is only one thing, and it must not be spread out. Everyone knows that the eldest lady is the most sensible person." , whenever something happens to the Xue family, she will rush to the front and plan painstakingly. Now that she is forced to such a field by that person, if her heart softens and she turns around, maybe something will happen. If the eldest lady is forced to death, isn't it ours? guilt?"

Everyone responded: "Exactly. Don't say anything else, just say that after the three high-fives, the eldest lady has nothing to do with the Xue family. She didn't bring the hairpins and rings that are commonly used in daily life, and she didn't have a change of clothes, so she was kicked out." Going out. Fortunately, Mr. Yao was fair and righteous, and asked for the deed of sale from Nanny Zhang, Yinger and others. Otherwise, even if he married into a family surnamed Feng, he would be looked down upon by others. Now that the Xue family has encountered something, is it still true? Can you bother the eldest lady like before?"

Another person said: "This truth is very true. Since the eldest lady has left the Xue family, people who are about to get married must not bother her with this matter." He said dejectedly: "When the eldest lady is at home, we will all be punished." She is kind. It's a pity that fate is not good, why didn't Mr. Yao wait for me that day?"

Aunt Xue of the Xue family is only mediocre in talent, incompetent in managing the family, and she is the mistress of the Xue family. Therefore, the parents of the Xue family have short stories, which spread from time to time and are ridiculed by outsiders.But this time, because Aunt Xue's actions were too unpopular, being blackmailed by Prince Zhongshun's house was just retribution. The servants felt that they were happy, but they were afraid that Baochai would be embarrassed if they found out, so they kept silent to the outside world for a few days. , None of them leaked the slightest rumor.

Therefore, Baochai has no knowledge of Xue's family being blackmailed by servants of Prince Zhongshun.Aunt Xue felt sorry for these two golden hens, but she always felt that her son was capable. Even if everyone in the world knew that Xue Pan was actually the most useless, she always felt that Xue Pan was more capable than Baochai. Much, even if it is not useful for a while, it will be useful sooner or later.It was with this mentality that she had no intention of begging Baochai at all.Aunt Xue was secretly satisfied that Baochai could be sent away without a dowry, so how could she make herself feel uncomfortable again?

Aunt Xue trusted her son Xue Pan and handed over the two shops to Xue Pan.Xue Pan originally thought that he was short of manpower and was clumsy at dealing with it, but now being blackmailed by people from the Zhongshun Palace made things worse.Xue Pan doesn't know anything about business, it's just that he is a relative of Wang Ziteng and Jia's mansion, and that Xue's family's connections in the imperial merchants' time are doing mischief. There is no way.

Although Xue Pan is incompetent, he is a face-saving person.Since Aunt Xue relied so heavily on her, Xue Pan couldn't express how helpless he was, and he hummed and said noncommittal on his face, and turned to his group of cronies to deal with it.Ever since he defected to Feng Ziying, Jia Zhen and the others, he has been taken advantage of by paying money every day, and he thinks he is very depended on. At this time, he naturally wants to ask Feng Ziying to help.

Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying heard him say this and said, frowned and said: "It's just two shops. If you give up, you will give up. The real man is alive, for the sake of fame and great things, and he will come back after all the money is gone. Why bother about these small money?" ?” It turned out that Feng Ziying spent a lot of money from Xue Pan these days in order to plan the incident, and she only thought that Xue Pan was taking the opportunity to beat him, so she answered this.

Jia Zhen has always known Xue Pan very well, and knows that he is a scheming person, but how can Jia Zhen, a first-rank general who is at home, have a way to deal with the matter of Zhongshun Prince's residence?So he just smiled and said: "Not long ago, the chief historian of Prince Zhongshun's mansion came to the mansion to look for Baoyu, saying that Baoyu abducted their family's opera singer Qiguan. After all, that mansion cannot bear the responsibility. Therefore, my old political uncle had to beat Baoyu severely, causing the whole Rongguo mansion to be turned upside down. Why did he come here? It was just for the sake of business. Baoyu is the prince of Beijing It's hard to beat the guests, let alone you and me? According to me, money is something outside of the body, but two shops, if you give it up, you will give it up."

Xue Pan didn't want to explain clearly how profitable these two shops were, but seeing Feng Ziying, Jia Zheng and others saying the same thing, he regretted it at first, but then calmed down, secretly thinking that even capable people like Feng Ziying and Jia Zhen were helpless, How can I have a way, so I ignore these two shops, simply find a middleman, pack the shop together with the deed, and send it directly to the visitor of Prince Zhongshun's mansion.

But he said that the person who came was just an ordinary housekeeper in Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and the slave was just bullying others. Originally, Baochai had already blocked his mouth with a piece of wisdom pattern, and Lin Zhixiao's family secretly found someone to talk about it. This is the end of the paragraph, and suddenly heard that such a strange thing happened in the Xue family, and a capable young lady Xue was expelled from the house. It was an unexpected happy event to send the two shops off neatly.At the moment, it is fueling the arrogance of the slaves to extort, and it is common sense to pick the soft persimmons. Therefore, since then, the slaves have determined that the Xue family is easy to bully, and they have changed their methods to blackmail them. This is a later story.

Baochai didn't know about it until Xue Pan sent out the shop together with the deed.The people who used to work in the shop dragged their families to defect, but when Baochai heard what had happened, she became very angry, but it was already too late.

Baochai smiled wryly and said to everyone: "When I left home, I was empty-handed. Right now, I'm just taking in Master Lai and Mr. Yao. I'm just scraping by. There's no property around me. How can I accommodate you?"

Unexpectedly, while talking, Yao Jing came out and said to her: "Although I said so, I admire Miss Bao's ability in business management. I have cooperated with Miss Bao before and made a lot of profits Now, I am still willing to hand over the money in my hand to Miss Bao. Since this is the case, it is better to be familiar with it than to be a stranger. It is rare for these people to join you, and you are familiar with them on weekdays. They have the clearest temper and temperament, so why not take advantage of this opportunity? Now, let’s start anew.”

Seeing what Yao Jing said, Baochai was filled with emotion.Thinking that Yao Jing was quite hostile to her at the beginning, but now she has the attitude of handing over all her wealth, she didn't know what to say for a while.At the very beginning when she clapped her hands three times and left the house, Baochai complained a little for Yao Jing's intrusion and insisted on sharing the profits of the two shops. She recruited the subordinates she was used to in the past one by one, and Baochai couldn't complain anymore.

"But since I have already accepted the Feng family, I will marry him sooner or later. If the Feng family returns to Jinling City in another year, I will have to follow, that's the reason." Baochai said.

Yao Jingxiu raised her eyebrows, quite dissatisfied.In her opinion, it was just an expedient measure to marry Feng Yuan back then. Unexpectedly, Aunt Xue was so vicious and blatantly expelled Baochai out of the house in total disregard of the relationship between mother and daughter. Is it necessary to comply?That Feng Yuan is a master who eats both men and women. Back then when he fell in love with Xiangling, he claimed that he would never marry a second concubine. Later, when he saw Baochai's beauty, he pestered her desperately. It can be seen that he has no self-knowledge. The master of this place wants to form a happy relationship with Baochai?Is it not a flower stuck in cow dung?

"According to me, there is nothing better than canceling the engagement and living here with your master and me. If Miss Lin wants to see you in the future, it will be convenient for her to move around..." Yao Jing persuaded.

Baochai shook her head: "A gentleman is fast with his words. Now that I have promised, unless the Feng family takes the initiative to cancel the engagement, how can I break my promise. What's more, Daiyu is also going to get married. Too many thoughts will not make me happy." Good. It's better to have a long-term pain than a short-term pain, and I will go to Jinling, and she will still be her second grandmother, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Yao Jing stomped her feet anxiously, secretly thinking that rotten wood cannot be carved. Sun Mu was listening, but he knew that with Baochai's temper, since he made a promise, he was bound to promise a thousand dollars. , but when Miss Lin left, she put the 1 taels of silver note with me, and made it clear that she was going to join the gang when you started a new business, so are you going to let her down?"
