[Comprehensive Red House] Off-site Guidance System

Uncle Xing was a little puzzled seeing his daughter-in-law like this, "What can I do, didn't I just sleep." He slapped his head and said: "No, I remember seeing a gambling house when I was shopping on the street. Originally I wanted to go in and try my luck, but I didn’t know anything before I sat down.” I looked up again, and found that I was in my new home, so I asked, “What’s wrong with me, why did I go home.”

Aunt Xing felt relieved when she saw that her master really didn't seem to be in trouble.Then he replied: "The master also said that I was scared to death yesterday. Yesterday, a steward from the aunt's house brought you back. I just said that I happened to meet on the street and listened to people from the gambling shop. You said that you just sat down for a while, and you suddenly disappeared, so they brought you back without delay. I went to our aunt again to ask for a good doctor, and my aunt was also anxious, so I hurried to ask someone to find him Doctor. Even the imperial physician was invited yesterday, but nothing was wrong. What do you think is wrong with your body now, or find a doctor on the street to have a look."

After listening to his wife's words, Uncle Xing twisted his neck and moved his arms and legs, but he didn't find anything wrong.Later, my aunt insisted, and invited a doctor back from a pharmacy on the street.The doctor called Tianmai for a long time, but he didn't find anything wrong.This family will be relieved.

After a few days of rest, Uncle Xing went out for a walk again.However, he went to several different gambling houses and fainted several times.No matter what kind of doctor they looked for, they couldn't find any faults. What frightened the couple was seeking medical advice, burning incense and worshiping Buddha.But usually this person is fine, but as soon as Uncle Xing sits down at the gaming table, he is guaranteed to faint.

Uncle Xing has become a celebrity in all the big and small gambling houses in the capital after coming down several times, and the people in the gambling houses are afraid to receive him.After all, this is the concubine Wan in the palace and the named uncle of Mrs. Jia, and the people in the gambling shop are not hard on him.Every time I saw him, I stopped him directly and said, "Maybe we have a little backlash against you here, you should take care of yourself, I won't invite you in today."

Uncle Xing also felt that it was boring, so he thought he would have a drink if he had nothing to do.But later I slowly discovered that as long as I drink more than two taels, I will faint immediately.Besides, as long as you drink some flower wine and find a girl outside, you will definitely faint.No matter how many doctors look at it, they can't find anything wrong.It made him too lazy to go shopping in the street, who knows that now when Uncle Xing goes to the street, all the merchants in the nearby streets know him.As soon as he fainted, someone would definitely send him home immediately.It made those unemployed boys follow behind this master, thinking of sending people home to get a reward.

Originally, Mrs. Xing was also quite anxious when her elder brother contracted this strange disease that would cause him to faint at every turn.But later found that every time he fainted, he entered the casino to gamble, or he went to drink, anyway, he would faint whenever he did something bad.Also, he is quite healthy on weekdays, and all the doctors who have seen Uncle Xing have said that this uncle is in good health, and it will not affect his life if he faints like this, so he doesn't bother to care about it. him.He was still muttering, "Amitabha, the Bodhisattva has opened his eyes, so he should be in charge of him like this."

This Uncle Xing really can't do anything now, he either stays at home with a book and pretends to read it all day, or wanders on the street.Who knew that wandering around would really help him find a job.It turned out that the owner of a dry goods store on the street next to their home was going back to his hometown to quit. All the goods and goods had been dealt with, and the remaining store was now to be transferred.Uncle Xing happened to meet this one, so he was immediately moved.He hurriedly made an agreement with him to ask them to wait for him for a day, then hurried home, took out all the valuable things in his house, including the idea of ​​Xing Xiuyan's private house, and collected a total of more than 500 taels.I asked Mrs. Xing to collect 300 taels, and it took a whole 800 taels of cash to buy the shop.This price is really not expensive. One is that people are worried about the Rongguo Mansion and dare not ask for a high price; the other is that the street is a bit out of the way, and the shop is not too big, so he bought it for only 800 taels. .

When Uncle Xing got the house deed, he finally felt at ease.However, he was quite self-aware, knowing that he didn't have the ability to do business, so he didn't make a fool of himself.I found a familiar dental firm and rented out the shop directly.The dental shop made a price, ten taels of silver a month for rent.Calculated in this way, the family can have 120 taels of income a year.

The Xing family has a small population, and there is only one daughter in the family besides the couple.Moreover, in daily life at home, apart from some food expenses and some money for charcoal fire, there is really no other expenses.Who told Uncle Xing not to eat, drink, prostitute or gamble, and he would faint if he touched it.Coupled with Mrs. Xing's daily aid, the clothes and materials throughout the year will be delivered on time.So with this 120 taels of income every year, life is very good.

The family soon had a new servant, a family of four bought by Uncle Xing from a familiar Yazi.It was a couple in their forties with a pair of children in their teens.The man's surname was Liu, and his name was Liu Dazhu. He was originally an ordinary peasant family in the suburbs of Beijing.But the parents in the family were seriously ill one after another, and passed away one after another in less than two years.First it was to treat the parents, and later they had to be buried.Not only did he spend all his family savings all of a sudden, but he also owed usury.This is so profitable that the whole family can't pay any money.The creditors pressed him hard, there was really no way for this family to sell themselves as slaves to pay off the debt.

Liu Dazhu of this family usually guards the door and does some heavy work at home.Sister-in-law Liu waited on the stove, and her daughter Liu Hehua was left to take care of cleaning, washing and cleaning.There is also a kid named Liu Gensheng, he is called Xiaogener in his family, besides doing some rough work at home with his father, he just works as an errand servant by Uncle Xing's side.

This family is very responsible and capable, and it is very convenient for Uncle Xing's family to use it.One day, Liu Dazhu talked to Uncle Xing after finishing his work in the back garden, saying that there was a landlord in their village who had a flower field of more than ten acres.I heard that those flowers alone can be sold for a lot of money every year.Seeing that the flowers in the mansion are much more valuable than the flowers in the landlord's house, they are also worth a lot of money.

Uncle Xing is bored every day, and this matter of making money fell on his heart.After all, the Xing family was an official family before its downfall, so they knew a little about these precious flowers and plants.You must know that this house was originally the private house of a middle-level official in the Rongguo Mansion, so there are really some rare species of peonies and orchids in the small garden.It happened that Liu Dazhu had worked in that landlord's house and learned some skills of tending flowers and plants.Uncle Xing told him not to do anything else, but to just take care of these flowers and plants with him.Even the concierge was guarded by Xiao Gen'er for his father.

Uncle Xing was not bored this time, he followed Liu Dazhu to play with those flowers and plants every day.The master and the servant save only two or three mother plants of each variety for branching, and the rest are shoveled out and put into flower pots for direct sale.Because they are all rare varieties, and they are well handled, and Uncle Guang Xing from Rongguo Mansion also found some connections, so just selling these flowers can earn more than 500 taels of silver.

Except for the fact that Uncle Xing fainted twice when he first got the money, he also benefited from this matter.So after calculating that there are more than 500 taels of flower sellers in hand, plus the first year's rent of the shop of 120 taels, the total is nearly 600 taels of silver, and I want to buy more properties.So he asked the steward of Rongguo Mansion to help him buy a small Zhuangzi with dozens of acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing.

Now, not long after the Xing family came to Beijing, the Zhuangzi and the shop were all set up.In addition, the house specially grows flowers and sells them away, and there is an income of more than 500 taels of silver every year.Uncle Xing's life seems to be getting better again.

Mrs. Xing saw that since her elder brother had given up on drinking and gambling, he was finally willing to put some thought into running the family business.Seeing that her natal family has finally improved a bit now, although she is not rich and powerful, but she no longer has to rely on her own financial support to be a burden, she is naturally very happy.I just thought that if I could find another good marriage for my niece, I might be able to help more.Therefore, it was better for Xing Xiuyan, not only gave more things on weekdays, but also called her into the mansion every now and then to accompany her.He even sent a girl named Xiaoxi to serve Xiuyan personally, and said to his sister-in-law: "After all, the girl's family should be pampered, and she will be good in the future."

Aunt Xing also felt that the decision of the whole family to go to Beijing was simply too right.If he had known that his master had entered Beijing, he would have changed his habit of drinking and gambling, and his family would have come to Beijing long ago.Now the master has improved, and the family property has also been purchased.The days are really rich, and Aunt Xing has nothing to worry about except saving the dowry for her daughter.Now the aunt has revealed that she wants to take care of Xiuyan's marriage, so she will take her daughter to Rongguo Mansion every now and then to pay her respects.

When Xing Xiuyan was very young, she knew that her family lived in Panxiang Temple in Xuantou, and lived a very poor life.Now seeing that my father has gone away from drinking and gambling since he came to the capital, and the family is now enjoying a good life with the help of my aunt's, so I am very grateful to Rongguo Mansion.On weekdays, I try to do as much needlework as possible, and I don't go empty-handed every time I enter the mansion.Either give Mother Jia a forehead wipe, or make a pair of shoes for Mrs. Xing, and Sister Feng and Tanchun Xichun also have a purse fan or something.Even Sister Qiao and Brother Wei were not left behind.

Sister Feng always loved Xing Xiuyan's character, but now that she is a grateful person, she loves her even more.So she also has a share of the four seasons and three seasons of clothes and jewelry prepared for Tanchun Xichun in the mansion.
