[Red Mansion + Martial Arts] The Virgin Strikes

"Don't blame her, it's okay if you get dizzy in a moment and forget it, it's just a good marriage." Jiamu blocked Mrs. Wang's mouth with a word, and Mrs. Wang nodded embarrassingly, not daring to speak again.

Aunt Xue looked at Mrs. Wang's unrelenting appearance, and she was immediately glad that she had a good son, and a good son had good ideas.Thinking of this, Aunt Xue smiled unkindly, and said to Jia Mu: "In addition to telling the old lady about this happy event, I have another matter to discuss with you. Our family has been here for half a year. , I should move back to live by myself, there are many things in the shop, and it is inconvenient for these stewards to watch and run back and forth."

Jia Mu nodded: "That's right, the left and right are also in the capital, so you can see them whenever you want."

Mrs. Wang had nothing to say at this time, since Baochai was already engaged, what was the use of forcing her to keep her sister, she just told them to occupy Pear Fragrance Court for nothing.

Aunt Xue heard that Jia's mother agreed, and praised her son's ability to predict things like a god.Now that everything was settled, Aunt Xue and Xue Pan asked someone to carry the packed luggage and leave Jia's house that day.

Qian Xiaoqiao successfully completed the side mission and got a series of exam questions from the system for next autumn exam.Qian Xiaoqiao looked for the answers based on the exam questions. He couldn't just ask one person for the answers. The goal was too big, and he might be suspected of bribing the examiner to buy the questions before he could wait until high school.Qian Xiaoqiao carefully divided the test questions into several similar sub-questions, and asked for answers according to time and person.Everything is coming slowly and step by step. Anyway, as long as the answers are sorted out before next fall, there will be no major problems.

For the rest of the time, Qian Xiaoqiao focused on the management of the Xue family's property and Baochai's marriage.Qian Xiaoqiao prepared a list, allocating several good shops and Zhuangzi of Xue Jiaying to Baochai as a dowry.Aunt Xue only had such a daughter, so she would not treat Baochai badly, but she was still shocked when she took the dowry her son proposed for Baochai.There are twice as many things on this list as she imagined.It's not like marrying a daughter, it's like dividing up another son's family.

"Pan'er, are you sure you want to give these to your sister as a dowry? It's not my preference, but you are the eldest son of the Xue family after all, and you will inherit the Xue family's property in the future. If you give so much to your sister, your sister will spend a few lifetimes." It’s endless, but in the end it’s still cheaper to have a foreign name.”

"Even if my sister's future child is surnamed Li, she will keep the blood of our Xue family. What are you afraid of? Besides, all these properties are not given to my sister. The right is to use my sister's hand to ask for Li Qing's favor. What better way to give a gift than putting it in the dowry."

"Gifts?" Aunt Xue didn't understand.

"I just got the news from a friend in the Ministry of Officials that Li Qing will go to the Ministry of Rites to wait for the missing son in the spring of next year. At least he will be a Yuanwailang."

Aunt Xue was both surprised and delighted: "Wai Lang, member of the Ministry of Rites? Isn't that the same position as your uncle? This kid is really promising."

"Mother, the focus is not on official products, but on his responsible duties, ancestral sacrifices and guest receptions. The imperial court has to buy a lot of things, and he will take advantage of whichever one he chooses."

Aunt Xue smiled and wrinkled her eyes, and praised her son again and again: "Good boy, it's your idea to see the truth. Let's put the money into Baochai's dowry, so that she will be decent in her husband's house and will not suffer for the rest of her life. The second is to make Li Qing grateful and earn money for our Xue family. It is really a wonderful way to kill two birds with one stone!"

"My dear mother, the first thing we look at is his character, and the rest should be taken by the way." Marriage is sometimes a win-win situation where two families benefit from each other. Qian Xiaoqiao believes that with Li Qing's wisdom, he has already understood understand this.

After the list of dowry was reviewed by Aunt Xue, Qian Xiaoqiao stuffed it into his bosom, and then showed it to Li Qing when he went back to the banquet with Li Qing, if he wanted to make any request, he could add it together.

When Mrs. Wang came to Aunt Xue's residence, she met Xue Pan who was about to leave.Mrs. Wang smiled and asked, "Where are you going?"

Qian Xiaoqiao made a bow, and replied honestly: "I have invited Li Qing to have a drink." When Qian Xiaoqiao bent down, a part of the red gift list was exposed from his arms, which was very eye-catching.

Mrs. Wang thought it was an invitation, and said with a smile: "Yo, your brother-in-law is really a polite person who reads books. He just drank, and I wrote a post for you."

"Aunt misunderstood, this is the dowry list I just drafted." Qian Xiaoqiao will not admit that she deliberately showed it to Mrs. Wang, he still prefers to appreciate Mrs. Wang's anxious expression appearance.

Mrs. Wang's eyes moved, and finally she couldn't help but said: "Show me." Mrs. Wang opened the list, looked at the rows of fat-smelling shop fields above, and almost fainted.Is this a dowry?This is called cutting property.She had expected that her younger sister's dowry for Baochai would be rich, but she never thought it would be so rich. If she had known this, she should have made a baby kiss early when the child was young!

Mrs. Wang came here today to borrow money from her younger sister. The eldest girl is not doing well in the palace. If she wants to have a chance to stand out, she has to bribe the servants and masters who have power in the palaces. Only then can she have a chance to make her mark in front of the emperor.When Mrs. Wang was short of money, she saw a pile of gold and silver mountains in front of her that she couldn't touch, her teeth itched with hatred and her lungs exploded with anger!However, she still had to bear it on the face, Mrs. Wang waved her hand pleasantly and told Xue Pan to go quickly, so as not to be an eyesore in front of her.

After entering the room, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue finally couldn't hold back the anger in her heart, and said sourly: "I met the uncle at the door just now, is the dowry list too much? Even if you are doing it for your own daughter You should think about your own family, how can you take advantage of that foreign surname for no reason."

Aunt Xue only thought Mrs. Wang was thinking of herself, so she said with a smile: "I was thinking the same as you. After being persuaded by Pan'er, I realized that I was wrong. A girl is no different from a son, just give it, money It’s something outside of him.” Of course, Aunt Xue would not tell her younger sister about what Xue Pan analyzed for him. If she had said it before, she doesn’t know what’s wrong now. Madame.

Mrs. Wang was about to say a few words, but suddenly remembered that today she has something to ask for from her younger sister, and she is not good at borrowing money if she makes her unhappy.Then he smiled and echoed a few words, and after following Aunt Xue's mind, he asked Aunt Xue to lend her money.

"How many?"

"5 taels, this time it will be more. When Zhuangzi raises money in autumn, I will pay you back even the previous one." Mrs. Wang said embarrassedly.

This is not the first time Mrs. Wang has borrowed money. Aunt Xue also knows that her eldest daughter spends a lot of money in the palace. There is no way to get the money from the public, so Mrs. Wang can only borrow it herself. 10 taels.Aunt Xue knew what was going on with Jia's family, and her annual income was only 2 to [-] taels. After all expenses were left out, how could Mrs. Wang have the money to pay her back?In the past, Aunt Xue endured lending to her again and again because of her sisterhood and Baochai's future.Now that Baochai's marriage has been decided, how can she support her sister like this?

Aunt Xue showed a distressed look: "You can also see that in order to buy Baochai's dowry, we have moved a lot of old properties, and the money can't be turned around for a while. There may be no 5 taels, but it is no problem to put together 8 taels. Don't think it's too little, you don't have to pay back the money before, it's my gift to Baoyu's wedding. Later I will ask Pan'er to collect as much as possible, and send someone to send it to you."

Mrs. Wang's complexion was not good when she heard this, and she smiled forcedly.She had no intention of repaying the borrowed money at all, and it was just a polite way to say it.In fact, the younger sister definitely understood in her heart, she said that she didn't have to pay it back this time, and she didn't lend her enough money, and she made it clear that she just wanted to tear her face and didn't want to give her any more support.

Mrs. Wang didn't say much, she found an excuse to get up and leave.Hmph, you'd better not beg her for anything in the future, otherwise their family will look good!

When Qian Xiaoqiao arrived at Zhuangyuan Building, Li Qing and two people were already waiting in the room.Qian Xiaoqiao intentionally glanced at the two strangers, a middle-aged man in coarse cloth and a dirty little beggar. He guessed in his heart that Li Qing must have something special, and smiled. Please sit down three people.

Song Lei and the little beggar Xiao Shitou saw that Xue Pan was not disgusted because of their humble background, so they had a high opinion of Xue Pan in their hearts, and their favorability increased a lot.

Li Qing introduced Song Lei and Xiao Shitou to Xue Pan while the waiter was serving the food. The chicken, duck and fish meat on the table was hot and fragrant. The two hadn't eaten meat for a long time. As soon as he swallowed, Xiaoshi couldn't help it at such a young age. He stretched out his dirty hands and tore off a roasted chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Do you know the rules, brat?" Song Lei was afraid that the little stone would ruin the business, so he reprimanded him nervously, seeing that he couldn't control him, he seemed to look to Li Qing for help.

Li Qing quickly explained: "Brother Xue, don't be surprised, he is also very hungry."

"It's okay, let's eat first, and we'll talk when we're full." Xue Pan raised his eyebrows and smiled at Xiao Shitou: "Eat whatever you want, and you can ask for whatever you want after eating. Your elder brother and I are so poor that we only have money left." The other three followed suit He laughed.

Xue Pan's joke made Song Lei's embarrassment suddenly eased, and his evaluation of Xue Pan reached a 100% perfect score in his heart.

"Brother Xue, let's see what this is?" Li Qing put the thing from Xiaoshi in front of Xue Pan, and Xue Pan picked up a palm-sized stone. The stone is not very hard, but more like a hard lump of soil. Dross.After the muck fell, a few pinches of yellowish things were sparsely attached to the stone, shining brightly.

"Gold mine?" Xue Pan raised his eyebrows in surprise, with a rare joy in his eyes.
