The Red Mansion's Traversal Raiders

Hua Zifang closed the lid of the food box, and pulled Xiren into the carriage.He took a hand stove from the small table, let Xiren hold it in his arms, and took out a thin booklet from the grid, and handed it to Xiren.

"The copybook? I haven't finished the last one yet..." Xi Ren's voice suddenly dropped as he opened the booklet.

"Since Second Master Bao helped us get back the money, the next step should be on the agenda." Hua Zifang said, "To open a store, the first thing is to choose a location. East Street has always been prosperous, and there are many tourists. But there is so much land there that we can’t afford it.”

"I asked someone in the middle. If you want to buy a shop facing the street within 200 taels, you can only buy it on Wicker Street, Qipan Street... these streets." Hua Zifang said again, "I'll go After shopping around, although the flow of people is relatively less, it is not bad.”

"This brochure records the shopfronts whose prices are within our acceptable range." Hua Zifang smiled, "You can choose one."

In the brochure, not only the internal layout, location and price of each shop, but also how many shops, residential houses, and private schools are distributed on a street...the sellers, and the approximate distribution of wealth and poverty of the buyers are all clearly listed. .

Xi Ren couldn't hide his surprise, "Brother, do you want me to choose?"

"Don't like it?" Hua Zifang was surprised, "I see that you are very interested, and you seem to want to open a store yourself."

"I really want to, but you leave it to me for such a big matter as choosing a site? If I pick the wrong place, not only will I not be able to make money, but I will lose my money..." Xiren couldn't believe it. It is all the capital of the Hua family.

"If you have such detailed information for your reference, you can choose the wrong place..." Hua Zifang looked Xiren up and down pretending to be disgusted, "Don't be ashamed outside, go home as soon as possible, Let me take care of you."

"Okay, it turned out that you gave me a favor for nothing, and I just thought you trusted me!" Xiren yelled pretending to be dissatisfied.

Although Hua Zifang said so, Xiren could guess it.Hua Zifang didn't want Xiren to have a psychological burden. She just wanted to give her sister, who wanted to open a store but couldn't do it herself, a chance to participate.

Xiren was moved and secretly remembered it in his heart.

The two brothers and sisters knew each other, Hua Zifang gently rubbed the top of Xi Ren's hair, Xi Ren smiled, lowered his head and looked at it seriously.She tore apart each paragraph, crushed it, compared it repeatedly, considered it over and over again, and finally chose one.

"Brother, what do you think of this one on Qipan Street?" Xiren raised his head.

"Why did you choose it?" Hua Zifang asked without answering.

"Although this shop is not big, there is not a single dim sum shop on this street, and there are only two or three restaurants and teahouses. For us, the degree of competition is relatively low, and there are many shops such as Xiuzhuang Yinlou, which can give us They brought a lot of guests." Xiren analyzed.

"Not bad." Hua Zifang nodded approvingly.

"You also fell in love with this one?" Xi Ren asked.

Hua Zifang nodded, "It's convenient for me to choose here. The private school I'm in is on the street next to it."

Xiren laughed in surprise, "It's a good feeling! I was worried that there must be few people on the street in the early morning. I'm afraid it's not safe for a woman to go to the store alone. Now my mother happens to be on the way with you, with you by my side. Take care, and I'm relieved."

Hua Zifang didn't think about it, so she couldn't help but smile, "It's better that you think it through."

After the two settled on this place, Xiren took out a bag of things from his bosom, "Brother, this is the monthly money I saved during this period, and there are a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry that I wore a few years ago. Instead of Let them be dusty in the box, it is better to take them back and melt them, and add some capital to the store."

"How can this work?" Hua Zifang frowned.

"My own business, why can't I add some capital?" Xiren asked, "Brother, can't you treat me as an outsider?"

"Little heartless, when did my brother treat you as an outsider?" Hua Zifang laughed, "Since you think they are outdated, I will melt them for you, and just make some new ones. You are a girl, you should Keep some jewelry close by."

"Gold and silver jewelry are just dead things. How can it be a good deal to invest in a store and get several times the money in the future?" Xiren laughed.

"You already have your part in this compensation." Hua Zifang said, "When our store opens, can we still reduce your dividend?"

"Who thinks there is too much money?" Although Xiren was moved, he still insisted, "I don't want all the jewelry, some of the master's rewards are self-satisfied, so as not to let the master have a whim one day, let me wear them for display. "

"You are determined to invest in it, are you afraid of losing your money?" Hua Zifang said helplessly.

"In business, there are profits and losses." Xiren smiled frankly.

Hua Zifang couldn't resist the attacker, so she had to take the bag of silver jewelry.The two discussed some details again. As for recruiting a reliable shopkeeper and convincing the Bai family, they could only leave it to Hua Zifang.

It wasn't until Mrs. Tian came to remind them that the two brothers and sisters bid farewell and left separately.

When Xiren returned to the room, it happened that there were all the people in the room, and even Daiyu, who was always going to take a nap in the afternoon, was also in Baoyu's room at this moment.

"I haven't seen each other for half a month, but I just wanted to stick together." Seeing this, Qingwen joked, "Look at them, these are real brothers and sisters!"

"You can't stop your mouth if you eat it!" Xiren feigned anger, and stuffed a shortbread in the shape of a triangle plum into Qingwen's mouth.

"Such a crude dim sum, how dare you show it to your eyes?" She Yue picks up one pickily.

"It's a good rule not to ask for your own." Qingwen smiled sarcastically.

The maids in the house will share the snacks with everyone whoever brings them.If there was harmony in the past, Musk Moon would come to taste without invitation, and naturally no one would pick any reason.But now she is fighting against Xiren, indeed...

Musk Moon held a piece of snack, neither eating nor throwing it for a while, her pretty face flushed red.

"Eat a little food, it's not worth anything. My sister wants to eat, just take it." Xiren said with a generous face, "Don't blame Qingwen, she has always been straightforward and has no malicious intentions."

"Eating good food behind my back, I caught you now!" Baoyu jumped over happily as soon as he finished playing chess with Daiyu.

"Run away when you're about to lose, you're a rascal." Daiyu shook her head, and picked up the pieces on the chessboard back into the chess jar one by one.

Baoyu snickered, pretending not to hear, and pretending not to hear, then clamored to eat the snacks brought by Xiren with great interest.At this time, Sheyue saw that Baoyu had also come out of the inner room, so she couldn't argue with Qingwen any more, so she had to eat her snacks in a depressed mood.

After a while, You Shi, the wife of Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion, suddenly came to Jia Mu's yard.

Although Jia Zhen is of the same generation as Bao Yu and others, but now that Jia Jing is practicing alchemy and Taoism outside the city, Jia Zhen can be regarded as the real head of the Ningguo Mansion.So Baoyu and Daiyu didn't dare to neglect Youshi's visit. They went back to their rooms and changed their clothes, waiting for Jiamu's call.

Xiren didn't care, she was always busy only in Rongguo Mansion, although Ningguo Mansion was a bit chaotic, it had nothing to do with her.

After seeing the guests, Baoyu went back to the house and said, "The plum blossoms in the garden of Ningguo Mansion are in bloom. Sister-in-law You said that she would invite us to enjoy the flowers in the garden. The old lady agreed, and the time is set for tomorrow morning."

"The masters of the entire family are going?" Xiren asked.

"Yeah, it's a rare time to relax." Baoyu added, "The old lady asked sister Lin and the others to leave, but Lan Geer will definitely not be able to go. The sister-in-law said in the morning that Lan Geer just fell ill."

"I know that." Xiren pointed to Jia Lan's illness, "I just sent Huixiang to send some medicinal materials in the library to Grandma. You uncle, since you are free now, you might as well go and have a look."

"That's what you said." Baoyu nodded.

Originally, Baoyu planned to go with Daiyu, but he thought that Daiyu was not in good health, so he gave up on this idea.

Baoyu pulls out an exquisite sailboat and prepares to bring it to Lang Geer.Lan Geer has been envious of this sailboat for a long time, and it is really suitable to come to the door this time and use this as a gift to coax his little nephew.Baoyu asked the little maid to hug her and follow her, and then she went to the yard of the widowed sister-in-law Li Wan.

Xiren waited for Baoyu to leave before starting to prepare for tomorrow's affairs.

Since he was going to go out tomorrow morning, Xiren thought about it, and simply listed the things to bring when going out on a list, and then assigned them to several big maids, so that they could prepare them properly, and then check them together.

Xiren sat leisurely at the kang table, lost in thought, as if she had forgotten something.
