[Red Mansions] Male wife

Xue Pan changed the water six times to wash himself, his body turned red, and he still felt the smell of excrement everywhere.The maids who served him in the bath changed twice, but they were still exhausted.When Xue Pan started to wash it for the seventh time, he was so irritable that he asked someone to come and rub it for him. "Rub it vigorously, and after rubbing it clean, it still smells."

The nurse, Grandma Liu, couldn't stand it any longer, and said something to comfort her: "Master, if you rub your skin again, it will be broken. It's really clean, it's fragrant, and there's no smell at all."

Xue Pan glanced at his rubbed red skin, there was blood oozing from some places, Fang felt a little pain at this moment.Xue Pan got up cursing, and reprimanded the girls who were taking a bath with heavy hands, they deserved to chop off their hands.The servant girls were trembling and knelt down begging for mercy.Grandma Liu couldn't see it, and whispered to the maids to get back, and she would do the rest of the work of changing clothes and combing hair.

Grandma Liu dressed Xue Pan, picked up the comb and combed Xue Pan's hair, and said: "My master should take a few more servants with me when I go out in the future, and leave them at home to eat. I don't think this capital city will It's not peaceful, it's only been a few days, and I've already been bullied twice by those troublemakers."

"Who would have thought that the emperor's feet would be so uneven!" Xue Pan looked at the bronze mirror, and found that both of his eye sockets were bruised, and in the blink of an eye, the entire eyeball hurt. "Damn it, don't tell me to catch who beat it, or I'll make him into mud and feed it to pigs. I'm so pissed off!"

"Master didn't see the person who beat you at all?" Mother Liu asked.

Xue Pan carefully recalled the scene at that time. He ran into the alley, and then suffered severe pain in the back of his neck, and then he didn't remember anything.When he woke up, it was already dark, and Xue Pan felt pain all over his body as if it was falling apart, and he also smelled a foul smell. He felt uncomfortable on his face, wiped his face with his hands, and found that his whole body was covered with blood. Splashing stinky dung... Don't mention how disgusting the situation was, Xue Pan felt like throwing up right now just thinking about it.When he thought of his embarrassing appearance and being seen by those servants when he returned home, Xue Pan became angry, and these people might laugh at him behind his back.In the past, he was arrogant and arrogant in front of these people, but now he is completely ashamed, how can he see people in the future.

"Grandma Liu, everyone in the yard should give me some advice. Anyone who dares to leak any information to the outside world can make someone look good! Just find out who it is. If you can't find out, I will beat them all to the ground!"

Nanny Liu nodded repeatedly, turned around and went to do it.

Seeing himself with blue eyes in the mirror, Xue Pan got so angry that he simply threw the mirror away and lay on the bed annoyed trying to figure out who hit him.Xue Pan guessed in his heart that he was most likely the troublemaker that day, and framing him and going to jail was not enough, so he dared to sneak attack and beat him.It's a pity that he is in the capital now. If he is in the Jinling area, he will definitely let the local governor cast a net all over the world to find someone for him.

Getting angry just thinking about it, Xue Pan turned over, closed his eyes, his mind was full of dung, he even felt like he was lying in a dung heap.Xue Pan opened his eyes in horror, looked around him in fear, and he was relieved after confirming that he was on the bed in his room.Close your eyes again, and repeat the scene just now...

After a sleepless night, Xue Pan's eye circles became even darker.

In the morning, Aunt Xue asked her son to come over for dinner, and she shed tears when she saw her son's dark eyes. "Who is bullying my son who received a thousand knives, I have to find him out."

"Brother, how did you really not see that man?" Baochai asked.

Xue Pan didn't want to recall the previous situation any more, and said irritably, "I didn't see it earlier, you think I don't want to kill him!"

Baochai didn't expect her elder brother to lose her temper and glared at him.

Xue Pan felt guilty when he was looked at, and then smiled apologetically, "My good sister, I'm really tired."

"I think you'd better stay at home honestly and don't go fooling around." Baochai scolded him, and then said to her mother, Aunt Xue, "It's strange to say that we have only been in the capital for a few months, and we haven't offended anyone before. Man, who the hell is staring at Big Brother?"

Aunt Xue wiped her tears, looked at her son distressedly, and sighed helplessly.How did she know what was going on, "Now your uncle is unhappy because of the previous incident, we can't beg him anymore. Our Xue family is weak in the capital, how can we find so many people in the capital?" Enemies."

"I think elder brother must have offended someone recently, think about it carefully," Baochai reminded Xue Pan.

Xue Pan thought about it all, but couldn't figure out why.Apart from fooling around in the place of fireworks, he hasn't done anything special recently, except to tease Jia Huan occasionally.Jia Huan, could it be him?

Among the people I have come into contact with, there is no one who has the guts to oppose him, except for Jia Huan, who is actually very staunch.Xue Pan thought again, he just snatched the shop that Jia Huan was looking for yesterday, could it be because of this that he hated him?

Thinking of this, Xue Pan became angry for a while, took down the bowl and chopsticks, and immediately got up to go to Jia Huan to settle the score.Aunt Xue hurriedly asked someone to stop him, and asked him sharply, "Where are you going? I told you to stay safe at home. You should run outside."

"I'll go—" Xue Pan remembered how he had sued Jia Huan before, and said that he had indeed done the splashing of tea, but he was wronged in the end.Now he just suspected that if he said it casually, his mother and aunt would suspect that he was lying.Well, he is not stupid.Xue Pan hurriedly found another excuse and said, "I'm going to find Brother Huan, he won't let me go out, it's okay to play with relatives."

Baochai frowned: "Even if you want to find his eldest brother, you have to wait for two days. Your eyes are so dark, if anyone asks you when you go out, no matter how you explain it, it won't sound good."

Xue Pan was honest when he heard the words, and sat back listlessly.

Aunt Xue comforted her son with a smile: "Be patient for now, our family has a good anti-stasis ointment, you can apply it on time and it won't last for a few days."

Xue Pan nodded.

Aunt Xue suddenly remembered what the accountant said this morning, and asked Xue Pan: "I heard that you paid 1000 taels of silver from the accountant?"

"Well, my son is optimistic about a shop and thinks it's good." Xue Pan said perfunctorily.

Aunt Xue glanced at her son approvingly, it was good, the child finally knew that he was going to take over the family business.So Aunt Xue told Xue Pan that it is better to plan the business type of the shop when he is at home these few days.Xue Pan nodded perfunctorily, so he didn't bother to think about those things, and went to Xiangling's room to find some fun.

Jia Xiuyun feels very refreshed these few days, without the entanglement of Xue Pan, he can handle his own affairs with peace of mind.As usual, Jia Xiuyun went to visit his tea shed outside the capital, and it was Aunt Zhao's nephew Qian Huai who helped him take care of the tea shed.Qian Huai heard that Jia Xiuyun was going to open a shop, so he had a good idea.

"When I went to the city to transport tea a few days ago, I happened to hear that there was a shop for sale at the gate of the city. It turned out to be a tea stall, not far from Yongding Gate. Those who felt thirsty when they entered the city, or felt tired when they went out of the city, would Come and sit with him. It’s just that the shopkeeper’s asking price is a bit high, and he’s going back to his hometown, maybe because he wants to get more pension money.”

"How much?" Jia Xiuyun used to walk through the east gate, but he never walked through the Yongding Gate in the west of the capital.He does know that Ximen is open the longest, and it is relatively close to several big counties outside Beijing, so it should be considered lively.

"It seems to be over 1000 taels. I didn't ask the exact amount, and I didn't know you were going to buy a shop." Qian Huai said aggrieved.

Jia Xiuyun patted him on the shoulder, left immediately, and went straight to Yongding Gate.The shop has not been sold yet, and the shopkeeper is still setting up a stall to buy tea. It is said that the meal will be sold with steamed buns and noodles.Jia Xiuyun first sat there and drank a few cups of tea, counted the number of passers-by, and then calculated how many people were willing to sit down and drink tea, and the result was still satisfactory to him.The time Jia Xiuyun came was neither early nor late. If it was before evening, there should be more people.

This shop is twice as big as the one he saw before, with a large yard and two independent houses at the back.This site is not as expensive as the market that Jia Xiuyun saw before, and there are not many business projects around.Most of the customers who come here are passing by, not like those people in the market for shopping.Therefore, the land to the east of Yongdingmen is relatively cheap, but after all, it is in the capital, and considering the relationship between the popularity and profitability of the tea shed, Jia Xiuyun reckons that this place can't be too cheap.

Jia Xiuyun invited the shopkeeper to ask the price.

The shopkeeper looked at his clothes, moved his eyeballs, and asked for 800 taels.

"Bully me for being young and easy to cheat?"

"No, my lord, you have also seen that my business here is good. If you open a shop here, no matter what you sell, you will definitely make money."

"Oh, it's too high to look at the place under your feet." Jia Xiuyun chuckled, and looked at the shopkeeper's angry expression without changing his expression. "Apart from inns, tea stalls, and a few hawkers selling specialties, what else is there around your place? If I open a tailor shop or jewelry shop here, will people come? Don't look at the crowds at your door, they are all thirsty. Tea drinkers, what else can your shop do besides sell steamed buns for tea?"

The shopkeeper's face remained unchanged, he forced a smile and shook his head, denying it: "It's not what you said."

"If the shopkeeper's price remains high, no one will buy your place. If it's too expensive, you can't do big business, and if you do small business, you will lose money if you make less profit. Let alone 800 taels, even 1000 taels, a normal person will not Buy this place." Jia Xiuyun argued.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. "My lord, you must have taken a good look at my place, otherwise you wouldn't bargain."

"Businessmen only buy when they can make money. At this moment, I have no interest." Jia Xiuyun laughed, dropped the money for tea, and walked away.The shopkeeper looked at his back meaningfully, and stopped the idea of ​​calling him.Based on his many years of experience in business, this little brother will definitely come back, and he feels that this young man is interested in the shop.The shopkeeper's asking price of 500 just now was a bit much, and it also meant to fool him when he was young.Now that I have seen it, next time he will drop it a little bit, [-] taels.Although it is a bit higher than the surrounding land price, it is also worth it.

Two days later, Jia Xiuyun got some sets of Jia Zheng's old clothes from the bottom of Aunt Zhao's box. Although the fabric samples were outdated, the material was still good, and it looked rich when worn.Jia Xiuyun found a few older male servants, distributed a piece of clothing one by one, and asked each of them to go to the shop to talk to the shopkeeper about the price every few days.

Jia Xiuyun took advantage of this period to look for other possibilities, to see if there was a better choice.On this day, he stumbled across the shop that Xue Pan bought before by accident. Now that it has been renovated, it still sells wine.Jia Xiuyun estimated that Xue Pan must have sent his subordinates to do it casually, and the subordinates continued to open wine shops to fool him without using their brains.

Boom!The drum sounded suddenly, and Jia Xiuyun was startled.

"Look, take a look, big opening bonus, all types of drinks are half price!"

Turning around and looking, the original inn opposite the wine shop has changed owners for some reason. It has been repainted up and down, and the plaque is hung with red silk. It can be seen that it is going to open today.After the crackling of firecrackers, a group of people gathered around the door of the shop.Jia Xiuyun saw seven or eight people coming out of the room, the leader was a middle-aged man, he lifted the red silk on the plaque himself.

Jia Xiuyun cheerfully ran to the tea shed and sat down to watch the fun. When he saw the four gilt characters on the exposed plaque, he was dumbfounded.

Peiji wine shop?Jia Xiuyun frowned, rubbed his chin and thought: Why did he find this name familiar.

"Master Huan, my master invites you to gather upstairs."

The author has something to say:

Jia Xiuyun: "Peiji Wine Shop, I think it looks familiar, how did it break?"

Pei Jin: "It's strange if it doesn't look familiar."

Jia Xiuyun: ...

Pei Jin smirked

Jia Xiuyun pretended to be a little white rabbit, and asked ignorantly, "Why? What is the reason for this?" (Please automatically bring into Xiaoshenyang's accent)

Pei Jin: "Because you are 'Pei Jia', how can you forget your husband's surname, little chrysanthemum whipped a hundred times~~~"

Jia Xiuyun: "Oh~~~~"

Pei Jin picked up all the chrysanthemums in the garden, looked at the readers with raised eyebrows and smirked: "What are you thinking? This general is talking about chrysanthemums, real chrysanthemums."

What?You ask me why my daughter-in-law Jia Xiuyun "嗤~~~"?Because he couldn't bear to look at the chrysanthemums in the garden╭(╯^╰)╮
