Love in the Red Chamber

Brother is good. "

Xichun was young, and Daiyu took care of her the most. Hearing that Daiyu was about to leave, she hurried forward and grabbed her.

"Sister Lin, sister Lin, please don't go..."

Daiyu held back her tears and patted her face, with a suffocation in her throat, she was still speechless.

Tanchun pulled La Xichun and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, sister Lin will come back sooner or later, don't be like this."

Xichun choked with sobs and said, "Sister Lin, will you really come back?" Seeing Daiyu nodding, she burst into laughter and wiped her face carelessly, turning into a little cat.Everyone was amused, and the previous heavy atmosphere was relieved.

At this time, Mrs. Wang said: "The eldest girl is young, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it alone. How about this, let Lian'er go back with her, and have someone to take care of her."

This sounded normal, but after decades of wind and rain, Jia's mother was not as shrewd as ordinary people.Naturally understood the implication.

Although Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, he did not die, so he was sent to his natal family to guard him in such a hurry, could it be that he hoped that he would die so that he could collect his property! ?Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang meaningfully, with a cold light in her eyes.

"Lian'er has gone, I'm afraid there will be a lot of spending time. I have made my own arrangements for this matter, so the political daughter-in-law doesn't have to worry about it."

After speaking, she sent someone to pick Jia Baoyu back.

Jia Baoyu, who always played a filial piety in front of Jia's mother, is not here today, but was called by Jia Zheng to chat with a few Qingliu Confucian scholars.

His song "Slow Flowers in the Rain" was really passed on by the Xue family. Jia Zheng was surprised and delighted when he heard it, and worried that it was a misrepresentation, so he wanted to try him out.

After all the outsiders dispersed, Jia Zheng stroked his long beard with a serious face, and shouted: "You are really well-behaved and eloquent today. It's just that in front of so many people, how can you show off your skills! Recently, everyone said that you speak eloquently. But I don't believe it. You are limited to writing poems within half a stick of incense, that's all, go back by yourself. Not good, hmph..."

It's not good, you're always blowing your beard and staring and scolding "evil animal" again!Jia Baoyu received it in his heart.There was a respectful look on his face, but he didn't care about it in his heart.He has figured out his father's temper, he doesn't know how to manage a family and raise children, he only knows Confucianism orthodox, he is really an old-fashioned and boring person.

Rao has a good temper and doesn't like being called a beast, so he can think of a good poem to scare Jia Zheng.

"Tulips in the fine wine from Lanling, and amber light from the jade bowl. But the owner can make the guest drunk, and I don't know where is another land."

If Jia Zheng likes it, it should be Du Fu's poems, which are full of richness and rhythm.But he loves Li Bai's elegance and ease even more, which is natural and natural.

Zhang Kou is a poem called "The Work of a Guest". Although it is not as famous as Li Bai's other poems, it has a unique free and easy rhyme.

Jia Zheng chewed repeatedly, his expression constantly changing.Jia Baoyu ignored him and resigned on his own.

cough.He himself said that it's all good, and he can go back.How can there be any bad things in Shixian's poems?

Jia Baoyu was not in a hurry to go home, it was rare that he could go out for a stroll in a fair manner, so he didn't want to waste this opportunity.Touching the purse at his waist, he suddenly had an idea.Now that we have a field and a house, why not do some business?

I also have a few hundred silver in my pocket, which is enough to start a small business.For things like money, the more the better.

With this in mind, he searched back and forth on the street to see if he could find something suitable for him.It's a pity... After scanning the streets and alleys, he suddenly felt that he was a modern civilized person, but in ancient times, he became a worthless nonsense!

Open a restaurant?People like him have always only eaten but not cooked, and they have to go everywhere to find a good cook and waiter;

Open a pawn shop?Well, the little money in my pocket now is only enough to be used as rags;

Open a brothel?Well, this is just random speculation.If his family members knew about it, he would be drowned by countless saliva stars.

"Hey!" Sighing heavily, he had no choice but to walk home dejectedly.Halfway through the road, I suddenly saw a tavern, which was deserted and quiet.There were only a few waiters leaning against the door and dozing off, the shopkeeper didn't care, his eyes were staring ahead in a daze.

He came in and asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, why is it so deserted here?" This store is built in the middle of the downtown, with such a good location, no matter how bad it is, there are no customers, right?Compared with the people coming and going on the street and in the surrounding shops, it looks more and more depressed.

The manager's face was gray, thinking that the young man was kind, and replied: "Young master, this store used to be a booming business. It was only half a month ago that a new tavern opened within three miles of the store, and it was overwhelming. Our business."

Jia Baoyu was puzzled and said, "That's not right, even if that business is doing well, it shouldn't be so depressed in this downtown area, right?"

The shopkeeper stopped talking, as if there was something unspeakable, with a miserable expression on his face.

One of the sleeping mistresses woke up and took over the conversation: "Oh, what are you afraid to say about the showcase? Isn't that the tavern opened by the bloody Xue family? Relying on the identity of the imperial merchant, it is also owned by the Duke's family. Relatives, be fierce and fierce, we are not allowed to open here. If we refuse to leave, Xue Pan will bring people to make trouble every three days, and now no one dares to come to eat."

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed again and again. "Stupid boy, so what? We are common people after all. We can't compare him to the imperial merchant's family, and he has no relatives to support him. Do you know that the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion is the young lady of the Xue family? What's more, Xue Pan Recently, he has gotten very close to Prince Zhongshun... Forget it, forget it, fate!"

Jia Baoyu frowned, cursing inwardly.Damn Xue Pan, as expected, the Xue family can't produce any good things!Acting so arrogantly, I really think this is Jinling!If he makes trouble every day, he's afraid it will endanger the Jia family.

Although he didn't have much sense of responsibility for the Jia family, he was still his current family after all, and he didn't want Xue Pan to ruin his family's reputation, so he immediately revealed his identity.

"Jia Baoyu, the second young master of Xiaosheng Jia's mansion, here I am apologizing to the shopkeeper for that unworthy relative!"

Damn Xue Pan!Sooner or later, he will teach this bastard who is doing bad things in the name of the Jia family a good lesson!

Knight

Hearing that he was the Second Master Jia of the Rongguo Mansion, the shopkeeper was taken aback, with fear and suppressed anger gleaming in his eyes.Jia Baoyu smiled, being a relative of the Xue family, what a goddamn misfortune!

He took a step back and saluted respectfully: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, Xiao Ke is definitely not like Xue Pan."

The shopkeeper looked him up and down for a while, and saw that he was a handsome young man with a bookish look on his body, not like Xue Pan's domineering and domineering, so he believed it a little bit.

"Second Master." The shopkeeper replied, "Everyone is open for business, and business is good or bad according to its own ability, so there is nothing to complain about. But he bullies others, it is too much! I can only hate that the inheritance passed down from my father's generation should be in my hands. destroyed!"

This tavern was opened by his grandfather, and it has been passed down from his father to the third generation.He could have given up on it, but he still couldn't bear it.I had no choice but to hold on.

Jia Baoyu was silent, and said: "Intentionally leading people to provoke and hurt people has violated the law of our court. Why didn't the shopkeeper sue?"

The shopkeeper looked at him with rather complicated eyes, and sighed: "Second Master Jia, what's the use of the law to protect each other?"

A sense of guilt rose in Jia Baoyu's heart. Although he didn't know about these things, Xue Pan did borrow his family's influence in the capital.Looking at the exquisite but dusty decorations in the tavern, he took out all the money in his pocket with a thought.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this tavern?"

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly. "Second Master, no one dares to take this restaurant as a free gift now. Who would want to offend that evil star."

"Haha." Jia Baoyu poured the silver on the table and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I don't want you to give it away for nothing. All the money should be bought as gold. It was my relatives who did something wrong, and I deserve a bit of fame in the whole family." .” During the conversation, he didn’t care about the hundreds of taels of silver.

He originally planned to buy a store to do business with. The location of this store is well-furnished and it is very nice.

The shopkeeper was a kind person, and he refused to take money for life and death, insisting that this dead store took too much advantage by buying so much.Under the entanglement, Jia Baoyu simply spread his hands and said: "Shopkeeper, you see, it's not like this. It just so happens that I don't understand the market for the first time in business, and this idea money will be used to hire you in addition to buying gold. You continue to be The shopkeeper, and everyone else remains the same. I will be the shopkeeper behind the scenes, earning us fifty-five cents..."

"No. Since the second master hired me, there is no reason to split them equally. I only get the wages I should be paid, and I don't get a cent of the rest."

This is another toss.It was finally settled.He suddenly felt the joy of winning the grand prize!With less than 200 taels of silver, he has his own clerk and tavern, which is really a big profit!

"Shopkeeper, you go back and temporarily close the store. Wait for me for a while, and the business of this tavern will be prosperous again."

It is indeed not easy to revitalize a dead hall.Although with Jia Baoyu's identity, Xue Pan would definitely not come to harass her.But the dignified second master of the Rongguo Mansion came out to do business, and I don't know how many scolds he would receive.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have had a low status since ancient times.Without Jia Baoyu's identity, how can he keep his business safe?

With countless thoughts, Jia Baoyu wandered aimlessly on the street.Suddenly I heard a shout, "Hey! The thief is bold, stop!"

Then he felt a gust of wind blowing over his head, a vigorous figure jumped in front of him, stretched out his long arms, and grabbed a thin man.

"Hmph. There are thieves in the world, and it's unlucky for you to fall into my hands today!"

There were often policemen walking on the street. When the young man saw him, he escorted the skinny man over and chatted with the policemen for a while, as if they were acquaintances.

Soon
