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

When Baochai Daiyu and others heard the news, they were secretly relieved.

It must be known that what the Ningguo Mansion is planning is a major event that really affects the lives of the whole family.Therefore, Jia Jingzhi committed suicide by taking the golden pill after he was unable to return to heaven. This is also the reason why he thought he was the head of the Jia family.

Especially forbearance up to this day, but he must retaliate, suppressing the matter of fighting for the great treasure among the royal family, but allowing the people in charge of the affairs to charge the Jia family with collusion with Tianli religion. If this is implemented, the nine clans will be punished It is also made, so everyone feels uneasy for days.This is the reason why Jia Lian went out frantically to entrust money to his relationship, and Jia Zheng was disheartened and closed his eyes to treat the crime.

Yao Jing heard the news and said to Sun Mu: "It can be seen that the people in the court still have eyes, and they know that the crimes committed by the women's family members have reasons for their crimes, but the root cause is still that the dandies are useless. According to me It is not enough for Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian to be exiled to the extreme north, but Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan are not good things, and they should suffer a little bit."

Sun Mudao: "They were princes and grandsons who were well-clothed and well-fed, but now they have suffered a lot in this situation. What's more, the Jia family is exhausted. It seems that such a dude who doesn't have anything to do with production, how can he live in peace in the future?"

When the two were talking, they saw Baochai and Daiyu coming in from outside talking and laughing. Sun Mu knew that both of them were related to the Jia family, so he could not bear it at all, so he quickly covered the topic and greeted with a smile. : "Are you free to come here today?"

Baochai said: "I just came here to discuss with some of you. Our shipping business, because the prince of Beijing is taking care of it, has been smooth all the way. According to my rough calculation, I'm afraid that this business will be shared by all parties. It can also make a profit of ten thousand taels.”

Neither Sun Mu nor Yao Jing knew anything about business, and they were both surprised and delighted when they heard it, and they both said: "I didn't expect the business in the sea to be so profitable! If we come here several times a year, will we all be as rich as an enemy in the future? "

Baochai laughed and said, "It's okay to make such a windfall once in a while. If it continues for years, I'm afraid it will not be beautiful if I lose my fortune." Then he said seriously, "There is news from the south that there is going to be a war. Yes. Although we are in offshore business, originally irrelevant, but if the war goes bad in the coming year, the Holy Majesty will be angry, and it will be a big disaster. You and I are both daughters, but we live and live on the edict of the former emperor and noble concubine, trembling, How can you dare to risk your own life when you are in danger at any time? Therefore, my idea is to make arrangements for exit after doing this business. Compared with the cotton thread and embroidery work, although the profit is meager, it can last for a long time."

Several people listened and expressed their opinions.Yao Jing was still resentful at first, thinking that it was a great blessing to have the wind and not know how to sail.However, when he thought about the result of the war in the south, it was the defeat of the king of Nan'an County, and the court sent someone to marry him in disgrace, he broke out in a cold sweat in secret, and stood firm on Baochai's side again.As for the others, they have always been quite impressed by Baochai's talent in management, and they have no objection.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Baochai felt something in his heart.Yao Jing couldn't help repeating the old story, when it came to Jia's mansion, the boss dismissed it, saying that men in Jia's mansion were not as good as women.Baochai shook her head and said that was not the case. In terms of talent alone, Jia Lian may not be weaker than Wang Xifeng, and Jia Baoyu may not be weaker than Tanchun, but they were born with golden spoons in their mouths, and they do not cherish things that are at their fingertips. Facial powder, Wang Xifeng has been raised as a man since she was a child, but she is not a man, so she is born with courage and courage. When she is at the end of the road, she still pretends to be a hero. At the time of decline, Tanchun had to come out to turn the tide, which is also expected.

Yao Jing sneered and said: "Isn't it true that men are inferior to women?" Baochai was silent, and said for a long time, the fate of the time, there is no human power to stop it, and being in such a high position as the four major families, it is extremely difficult to be wise and protect one's life Things, if you don't know the ending, who in this world would not want to make further progress, and have a rock-solid heart for Conglong's achievements.

Sun Mu knew that Baochai had a kind heart in his heart, and he didn't want to say anything bad about Baoyu and others, so he forced his respect, and quickly exchanged winks with Yao Jing, ordering her to stop talking.

The scene was silent for a moment, and then he brought up the family affairs of Grandma Liu and Xiangling, saying that although Grandma Liu is old, she is rare to have a quick mind. She also said that Xiangling was about to give birth, and she was looking forward to her first child giving birth to a big fat boy, so that her in-law's family could gain a firmer foundation.Listening to Sun Mu's words, Yao Jing was very upset, she actually had the intention of ridiculing Xiangling's family's patriarchal patriarchy, Baochai sighed beside her: "Most people in the world are like this, how can a few women like you and me be able to reverse it?" Give birth to boys and make Zhang, and give birth to girls to make tiles. A man can cultivate the fields among the acres, defend the country in the army, and put down rebellions. Open and close, be loyal to the emperor and love the people. To say something taboo, the one who sits on the dragon chair, and the one who takes the vermilion pen to death is also a man. This is the general trend in the world, and everyone favors boys over girls, which is logical."

Yao Jing was still unconvinced, and took her own medical skills, Sun Mu's sophistication, Baochai's business acumen, Daiyu's embroidered heart, and Liu Yiyi's ability to fly over the wall as examples, and said that most men in the world can do it. It can be done, but Baochai still shook her head and said: "How many girls are there in the world like you and me? It's just me, but it's just because of helplessness. If I can live in the back house and send my love to you How many daughters are willing to give up their comfort and wealth and go outside to fight? The so-called patriarchy in the world is only because there are more capable men than capable women.”

While talking, Yuanyang suddenly rushed in, knelt on the ground and cried without saying a word.Everyone was puzzled, surprised and uncertain.It must be known that since the mandarin ducks went to Daughter Valley, Yao Jing has been adhering to the concept of equality for all, deliberately downplaying the titles of master and slave, and only hopes that the girls can live more freely.A proud girl like Yuanyang looks like this now. Could it be that she has suffered some kind of grievance?

Baochai hurriedly helped Yuanyang up, and when she asked carefully, she found out that the officials had escorted Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others to the far northern exile. No matter what happened, the power of housekeeping fell into Jia Huan's hands.This Jia Huan lived with Aunt Zhao since she was a child, and the layout was the narrowest. Because she thought the house was expensive, she searched around but couldn't find a few taels of silver for the family. In addition, she remembered that Sister Feng had never given Aunt Zhao mother and son a good face when she was unsuccessful. Look, that's why she had a bad idea and wanted to sell Wang Xifeng's daughter Qiaojie to someone else's house as a child bride.Ping'er was entrusted by Wang Xifeng before her death, so she was not willing to obey, but Wang Xifeng's brother and sister Qiao's uncle Wang Ren urged Ping'er from the sidelines, and Ping'er was alone. Know where to sell.Ping'er was so distraught that he almost went crazy. It happened that Yuanyang was paying attention to the Jia family's affairs and knew the news, so he hurried into the city to ask Sun Mu and the others for an idea.

Sun Mu was also taken aback when he heard Yuanyang say this, and sighed: "Although I am poor and short-sighted, I would never have imagined that Miss Tanchun's character would have such a younger brother." It's not difficult for Yinzi to redeem Qiaojie, but now that the capital is so big, how can we find out her whereabouts?"

When Daiyu was in Jia's mansion, she was taken care of by Wang Xifeng. Hearing that after Wang Xifeng's death, her only flesh and blood had suffered like this, she felt pity. Thinking, feeling like looking for a needle in a haystack, but where to find it?It is tantamount to the Arabian Nights.

Daiyu was feeling melancholy, but Baochai had already said, "This is not difficult. Since it is sold as a child bride-in-law, there must be a middleman to help and protect the matchmaker. It is better to find a few middlemen to inquire about it." After thinking about it for a while He said again: "I remember that there was a horse dealer nicknamed Wang Short Legs. He was very loyal and quick in his actions. Why don't you call him and ask him." .

Jia Yun said: "Miss Xue is right. I've heard of this short-legged Wang. He is the most loyal man, and he is easy on the road. I have dealt with him several times before, so let me handle this matter." It’s gone.” In fact, since the fall of Rongguo Mansion, he often cared about the kindness of the past, and came to take care of him, but Rongguo Mansion was like a bottomless pit, where all the sons, brothers, wives and aunts were waiting to be fed. Jia Yun only felt that financial resources were limited and insufficient. To deal with it, I was too scared to go, and I deeply regret that I didn't do my best when there was no one in private.

When Jia Yun was a child, her family background was already in decline, and she often mixed with people from various religions and schools, and she was the most proficient in the way.He went out of Yao's house, first bought wine and vegetables, invited the drunk King Ni Er, the horse dealer Wang Duanleg and others to the house, had a solid meal, and finally told them that he wanted to help.Before that short legged Wang could speak, Ni Er, the drunk king, was already smacking his chest.Ni Er has always made a living by lending usury, and he has a lot of habits in the world, and there are many people who call him brothers and sisters. After a few days, he found out that Qiao Jie was resold several times, and finally fell into a brothel. As a child, she beat and cursed every day and ordered her to learn how to play and sing, thinking about the idea of ​​becoming famous in the capital and making money in the future when sister Qiao grows up.Baochai and others entrusted Wang Kuantui and Ni Er to come to the door repeatedly to talk about marriage, and they spent a total of 1000 taels of silver to redeem Qiaojie, not to mention bringing her back to Jia's mansion, but keeping her by Yuanyang's side.

Baochai originally thought that she had spent a full 1000 taels of silver to redeem Qiaojie, because the silver belonged to the public, including Miaoyu, Grandma Liu, Xiangling, Yuanyang and others. Everyone, including Grandma Liu, was full of praise.Even Miaoyu was alarmed, saying that this kind deed was better than building a seven-level pagoda.

It was the first snow in Beijing that day, and the fragrance of plum blossoms was floating. Baochai and Daiyu were drinking tea in the pavilion in the garden. All the maids in the village are wary of me and I wary of you because of small things, all of them are like cross-eyed, they never expected to encounter something, 1000 taels of silver, but they didn’t even blink their eyes, they just kept applauding, I’m so private If you make assumptions about others, you will feel ashamed.”

Daiyu said with a smile: "Firstly, you always want to take everything into consideration. You have always been cautious, and you are used to looking forward and backward, so you have this worry, and it is not the fault of random speculation. Secondly, you are born with a pair of skillful hands that turn stone into gold. Their capital, It's only been a year in your hands, and you've already turned out so many promises. It's all an unexpected joy. The money comes quickly, and the shabby atmosphere of waiting for pennies and pennies will be gone. Let alone saving a life, It's not a bad thing to commit crimes, they are naturally happy."

Baochai couldn't help laughing, too, and said, "When did I have the ability to turn stones into gold? I didn't know!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to show Daiyu.Daiyu took her hand and looked closely, only to see that it was white and delicate, slender and fit, but weak and boneless.Daiyu's heart suddenly moved, she gently put down her hand, and brought up the matter of Yuanyang as if nothing had happened: "I remember that when I was in Jia's mansion, everyone shouted that Yuanyang might fall in love with Lian's second brother and wanted to do it with Ping'er. I have a companion. A person like Sister Feng who has a gully in her heart can't help being jealous when she hears the news, and often tries to test the mandarin duck before others. Now it seems that the mandarin duck is indifferent to Lian's second brother, but because of Sister Feng. Tell me, could it be that Yuanyang treats Sister Feng..."

After Baochai reunited with Daiyu, even though she and Daiyu shared a common room every day, they kept their etiquette and never crossed the threshold.Now hearing Daiyu talk about other people's ambiguous affairs, she can't help but blush, trying her best to pretend to be calm, and said: "In my opinion, the mandarin duck has yet to be verified, but there is another person who is loyal to Sister Feng, and even I admire it."

Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Could it be Ping'er?"

Baochai nodded: "Since the incident with Sister Qiao, she has become more and more discouraged towards Jia's family. Jia Huan is unable to manage the family, and the escaped slaves of Jia's family emerge in endlessly. , but now they have all let go."

Daiyu was surprised and said: "The fugitive slaves are so rampant, doesn't it mean that the Jia family didn't know to report to the officials?"

Baochai sighed: "The current situation of Jia's family is so great that the government is afraid of avoiding it. How dare you find trouble for a few escaped slaves? There are only a few people left. Even Ping'er asked someone to bring me a letter, saying that he would still take care of Sister Qiao when he wanted to come here."

While talking, suddenly someone from the Beijing Palace sent someone to look for Baochai. Baochai didn't know what happened, so she felt uneasy, and Daiyu was also worried. When she rushed to the Beijing Palace, it was not the Beijing Princess who called her When Baochai looked intently, she saw a beautiful woman in a gorgeous dress sitting in the side hall where she received guests. When she came in, she hurriedly greeted her and bowed down face to face without saying a word.Baochai saw it clearly, and quickly supported her, but saw that this gorgeous and beautiful woman was none other than Tanchun who willingly entered the Beijing Palace.
