Dai Yuxin says

The three masters and servants of Yingchun took a last look at the tall plaque of Rongguo Mansion, supported each other, and turned away without hesitation.

As soon as he reached the corner, he ran into Jia Lian riding a horse, bringing his servant Shao'er.

Yingchun supported Xiuju and bowed her head to make way. The half-brother in her mind had always been ungrateful and ungrateful to her. Even when she met him in the past, he rarely talked to her.

Now Jia's mansion doesn't even allow me to enter the gate, and my grandmother doesn't want to see me. Apart from beating and scolding, my father declares that he has no father-daughter relationship with him, and there is no family relationship at all. How can this brother be any better? ?

To be honest, Jia Lian is a womanizer who has no ambitions and does nothing.He obeyed the orders of the old lady, Mrs. Wang, and did a lot of profit-seeking things, but compared with his father, Jia She, he was considered good. Among the children of Jia's family, he was considered the most shrewd and capable.

When he heard about the divorce between Yingchun and Sun Shaozu, he felt incredible.Like Jia Zhen, he felt that there must be something inside this matter.Otherwise, Sun Shaozu wouldn't be so talkative and return Yingchun's dowry intact.Jia Lian thought that for the sake of face, the Jia family would never take in Yingchun.

For some reason, when Jia Lian thought of Yingchun's difficult situation, he suddenly thought of his mother who died young, and seemed to see her looking at him with gentle and kind eyes.

Jia Lian thought of Yingchun, whose mother died as early as himself, and felt that Yingchun was really pitiful.

All of a sudden, he suddenly had a heart of compassion, so he hurried back with his servant on horseback, and happened to meet Yingchun master and servant, who were walking sadly.

He jumped off the horse, stopped Yingchun and asked, "Second sister, where are you going?"

His question surprised Yingchun. Yingchun looked up at Jia Lian and thought about it: What does this brother mean by asking this question?I might as well listen to what he has to say before making further calculations.Anyway, I can't let him know that I have a house, shop and money.

There were tears in Yingchun's eyes, and she replied sadly: "The Elder Master declared that he has separated from me as a father and daughter, and the Jia Mansion has not allowed me to enter the door. Now I have nothing to do with the Jia Mansion. Every step counts, and wherever I go, it counts." where."

"Second sister, if you have no place to settle down, brother has a place to go, which is the house where Second Sister You lived. You might as well live there. When things cool down, I will find a chance to persuade the old lady to take you back. Mansion, what do you think?" Jia Lian's voice was very gentle, and Yingchun felt that he was very much like an elder brother.

Yingchun followed Jia Lian to Huazhi Lane not far from Rongguo Mansion, and walked into the house where Second Sister You lived, and saw that there were still tables, chairs, pots, pans and spoons.

Xiuju and Nanny Zhou cleaned the house, while Jia Lian sat in the yard with Yingchun, seeing that Yingchun was empty-handed and didn't bring anything.Thinking that the news he heard was wrong, Sun Shaozu did not return the dowry.He said to Yingchun: "Sun Shaozu, a bastard, since he is righteous, he shouldn't withhold his sister's dowry. Brother Ming'er will go get it back for you."

Yingchun smiled sadly and said: "That man actually returned the dowry, it was the elder of Jia's mansion who took it back to Jia's mansion."

Jia Lian listened to Yingchun's emphatic statement that "the grand master of Jia's mansion has taken back Jia's mansion". He was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and thought for a while, then murmured, "Oh, so that's the case. Sister, don't worry, brother is the only one. My dear sister, you and I are children who have not had a mother for a long time, and my brother will support you in the future."

As he said that, he took out a purse, took out a few taels of silver and handed it to Yingchun, comforting him: "You take this first, and my brother will send you monthly living expenses in the future."

Yingchun's eyes were red, and she reached out to catch Yinzi unceremoniously, sparks of excitement flashed in her eyes.

She thought of herself as a desperate young woman who had been rejected by her natal family.Living alone now, it is inevitable not to be bullied.This elder brother who is usually indifferent to him is still willing to recognize himself as his younger sister at this moment, and gave himself a place to settle down. Feed themselves.

No matter how he treated him in the past, a friend in adversity can see the truth, this brother can be regarded as a timely help.Why don't I really make friends with this elder brother, let him cover me with this umbrella, and save me a lot of trouble in my personal life and shop management in the future?

Thinking of this, Yingchun said with a sad smile: "Brother, my sister has something I want to ask my brother for help."

Jia Lian looked at Yingchun hesitantly, and said wonderingly: "Sister, please tell me, as long as my brother can do it, I will help my sister to do it."

Yingchun smiled, got up and walked into the house.

After a while, she came out and handed Jia Lian a house deed and two shop contracts. She was afraid of causing trouble to Daiyu, so she especially concealed the process of Daiyu's efforts to help.Said: "My sister was lucky in her misfortune, and she was separated from that person. She met a kind and upright official. He sympathized with her misfortune and forced Sun Shaozu to give her a place to live. There are also these two shops as my sister's future. source of livelihood. My brother knows that my sister is a weak woman who has never seen the world, please take me to take over the shop when I have time. When my sister has money in hand, I will tidy up the courtyard house in Zhuangyuan Lane of Guozijian and move there. Live. The younger sister is an ominous person, so it is better to live in my own home."

Jia Lian didn't expect that Yingchun would have a noble person to help him. After Yijue's divorce, he didn't have nothing.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "This is easy, brother will come over tomorrow and take you to take over the business of taking over the shop."

It was the first time that the two brothers and sisters had talked face to face.

Maybe it's because of the lack of love since childhood, and the deep desire to be cared for by others. At this time, Yingchun feels that Jia Lian is like an older brother, and she has a happiness that she has never experienced in her heart.

Seeing Yingchun's words and deeds, Jia Lian felt that Yingchun's thinking was clear, her words and actions were orderly, and she didn't look like a cowardly and incompetent woman.After talking for a while, Jia Lian got up and said goodbye.Yingchun got up to see him off, and said earnestly: "Please keep my sister's affairs a secret."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "Please don't worry, sister, brother knows about my sister's difficulties, and won't let anyone disturb my sister's cleanliness."

Sometimes, an unintentional act of kindness can change the difficult situation in the future.Jia Lian's good deed enabled Jia Lian to have a fixed place to live and food and clothing after Jia's house was ransacked, so that he would not suffer from cold and hunger and live on the streets.This is the cycle of cause and effect, good and evil are rewarded.

That afternoon, Yingchun left Nanny Zhou behind, and came to Yuyuan with embroidered tangerines alone to meet Daiyu.

When she saw Daiyu, she had mixed feelings, burst into tears, and told the story in detail. When it came to the scene in front of Jia's mansion, she broke down in tears and said to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, I can see the people in Jia's mansion clearly. If they die in front of me one day, don't think that I will shed a tear, let alone extend my hand to help."

Yingchun looked around, and the people in the room walked out knowingly. She took out the 50 taels of silver note and handed it to Daiyu, and said sincerely: "Sister Lin, this is my heart, please accept it." Down."

Daiyu took it over and took a look, then stuffed the silver ticket into Yingchun's hand, and said seriously: "Second sister, this is the silver you bought with your youth, blood and tears, how can you give it away so easily? The life under the fence makes me feel deeply. Understand: money is the right to live, without money, there is no right to live. We must not pay too much attention to money, but we must never be without money.”

Yingchun sincerely gave in and said: "I was rescued by Sister Lin, and this life belongs to Sister Lin. Compared with my life, this idea is insignificant. Besides, I have a courtyard house in Zhuangyuan Lane of Guozijian, and a grain shop and a silk and satin shop, these are enough to ensure that I have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

Daiyu smiled happily and sincerely: "Second sister, don't give in, you should put your things away. If you want to do this again, you will be underestimating me."

Yingchun hurriedly explained: "I never mean to underestimate my sister, I just want to express my gratitude to my sister." As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with determination, and she solemnly said: "I am in this world. I have lived for 17 years and suffered a lot. It is my sister who gave me the right to live, and I will definitely live well. I have to live a good life and let the Jia family see that I, Jia Yingchun, do not have the fetters of the Jia family. Once freed from the shackles of Jia's family, he will live an extremely happy, extremely happy life."

Daiyu held her hand, made a gesture of appreciation, and said, "Hurry up and protect your right to live."

Seeing that Daiyu had talked about this, Yingchun had to frantically put away the bank notes.

Daiyu smiled happily and said, "I understand Second Sister's intentions, if you don't rush you by talking like this, you still don't put it away."

Daiyu stayed with Yingchun for dinner before sending someone to send Yingchun back to Huazhi Lane.

Jia Lian is covered by the umbrella of the imperial concubine and empress, and now he has the concubine and sister of the prince's mansion. Many people in the capital are very fond of him, and his work efficiency is very high.

The next day, just after Yingchun finished her breakfast, Jia Lian came to Huazhi Lane alone, and wanted to accompany her to Guozijian Street to look at the house and take over the Sun's shop by the way.

These two shops were bought by Sun Shaozu when he came to the capital to wait for business. They have a good location, a large scale, and strong profitability.

Jia Lian took Yingchun into the shop, revealed his identity, showed the shop contract, and told the shopkeeper that the shop had changed owners, and the surname was Jia instead of Sun.

The owner of the store is also an old Jianghu, who immediately adapts to the wind and immediately falls to the new owner, holding out all the books, and attracting all the employees to introduce them carefully.

In Jia's mansion, Yingchun is just an unknown supporting role, who rarely speaks, let alone advocates.

The elders said she was cowardly, the peers said she was gentle and honest, the servants said she had a good temper, and Baochai said she was dead.

In fact, Yingchun is smart. She knows that in the intriguing Jia Mansion, the power is held by the second room of Rongguo Mansion. The uncle is pedantic and stubborn, and the aunt is stupid on the outside. , but was squeezed out and lived in a side courtyard.

The stepmother only knows how to obey her father blindly, earn money desperately, and treat herself coldly.

The elder brother was very indifferent to him, and the sister-in-law was scheming and ruthless. She was the second wife's niece, and brought her elder brother to join the second room.

She is just a concubine in the big house, and she speaks lightly. For the sake of self-esteem, she can only keep silent. She dares not offend anyone, and spends her days prudently protecting herself.

Although the third girl Tanchun was also born as a concubine, Tanchun's father was highly valued by his grandmother.This phoenix egg has a special affection for girls, cares and loves girls everywhere, and is very friendly to Tanchun.

Tanchun herself has a biological mother and a biological brother. Although she intends to alienate her biological mother, her mother is deeply loved by her uncle, and with the support of her uncle, the royal wife does not dare to provoke her easily.Therefore, Tanchun's mother can still protect her secretly.

His mother was just a concubine, and he died when he was very young.From birth to growing up, no one loves and pity me, just like Cinderella, if I don't know the current affairs, if I really put on the airs of a lady, the consequences will be worse than Aunt Zhao.

How many lonely days, Yingchun played with the chess pieces alone, making decisions among the black and white chess pieces, and winning thousands of miles.

I was really depressed, so I just watched "Taishang Induction Chapter" to anesthetize myself.

Now, Yingchun is the rebirth of the phoenix, reborn from the ashes.Facing a booklet, she seemed to be flipping through it casually, but in fact she was very savvy about numbers, and soon she saw the tricks in it.

She seemed to ask the shopkeeper a few questions casually, and every question made the shopkeeper sweat all over, not daring to hide anything.

The shopkeeper looked at the thin, haggard, gentle, and beautiful young woman in front of him. He knew that this was a very smart and talented woman, and he couldn't be careless in front of her.He answered all Yingchun's questions carefully, and Yingchun nodded with a slight smile.

Jia Lian, who thought he was shrewd, capable and extremely intelligent, looked at Yingchun as if he were a stranger.

At this time, Jia Lian has overturned his plan for a night, and wants to use the excuse of helping Yingchun to take over the idea of ​​​​yingchun shop by himself.

In front of the shopkeeper, he actually asked a stupid question. He asked, "Sister, are there any problems with these account books? Are these personnel still available?"

Yingchun replied with a generous smile: "Brother, it's okay."

As she said that, she smiled at the shopkeeper, her beautiful eyes were full of profound content, and she said in a gentle and gentle manner: "Let the shopkeeper bother you, as long as you are more careful in the future."

Afterwards, she expressed her opinion on specific issues, which made the shopkeeper completely admire her.

The shopkeeper never thought that the young woman in front of him, with such a unique vision and novel thinking, is really a shopping mall wizard.He felt that he met Bole when he was a thousand-mile horse, and he would not worry about becoming an important figure in the business circle of the capital in the future.

In just one morning, Yingchun successfully took over the two shops.

She roughly checked the accounts, and felt that although the two shopkeepers were a little selfish, they were generally honest and talented. As long as they worked harder in the future, they would be of great use. She decided to keep both of them. Was completely subdued by Yingchun.

Seeing that the sun was in the middle of the day and it was already noon, the shopkeeper wanted to keep Yingchun brothers and sisters for dinner, but Yingchun politely declined.

Jia Lian really admired this younger sister.

When he returned from Huazhi Lane yesterday, he had a sleepless night and thought about it a lot.He thought that Yingchun was a well-known Ermutou, a very cowardly woman, and this time Yijueli met an "upright official", which was a miracle in ancient times, and she met her.

There must be little-known inside stories here.

Yingchun's two shops are high-end shops with a lot of money, and Sun Shaozu is willing to give it to her. This matter will never be as simple as Yingchun said.

Jia Lian really wanted to take over the two shops for Yingchun, but he was not a fool, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he decided to play by ear.

Walking out of the silk and satin village, Jia Lian insisted on taking Yingchun to a restaurant for dinner, and said that these entertainments would be indispensable in the future.

Jia Lian took Yingchun into a hotel called Meimeizhai, and told Yingchun that this is the most distinctive restaurant in the capital, where all kinds of famous dishes from all over the country can be eaten.

He knew that this was the first time in Yingchun's life that he had entered a hotel, but seeing Yingchun's expression was calm, without any coyness, he thought to himself: I really underestimated this sister in the past.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.Jia Lian said with a smile: "Sister, I think you are born to be a businessman. I think your business in the future will not be worse than that of Aunt Xue's family. It's just that my sister is a woman, so there are many inconveniences."

Seeing Yingchun pursing her lips and smiling, he felt very disapproving between his brows.

Dismissing the idea, he said again: "Sister, can I save some money in the future and enter a stock market with you?" He finally couldn't help but tentatively said another plan in his heart.

Yingchun thought for a while, put down her chopsticks, looked at Jia Lian and said, "My sister is unlucky. I am very grateful to my brother for not giving up. My sister does not want my brother to buy shares. From now on, my sister will divide the net profits of these two shops into ten shares of dividends. My sister Give brother two shares, do you think so?"

Jia Lian scratched her head in joy, and said repeatedly: "What should I do? Is there any reason to want a girl for nothing?"

Yingchun looked at the beaming Jia Lian, and laughed in a low voice, "I didn't say that I gave it to my brother for free. I haven't said anything yet."

She looked at Jia Lian's bewildered eyes, and said with a smile, "I will give my brother a pure dividend of [-]% of the shares at the end of each month. Only you and me, as well as the insiders of the store, know about this matter, and no one in the Jia family can know about it." , I manage the store affairs by myself, and if there are difficult things to deal with, I need my brother to help me deal with them. If my brother agrees, I will ask the shopkeeper to give the pure bonus to my brother personally after the monthly billing. "

Jia Lian grinned from ear to ear and said, "Thank you sister for your kindness. No matter what happens to my sister in the future, my brother promises to be there for you. The monthly bonus, my brother will pick it up by himself. My sister should not send someone to give it to me."

He thought this was his inexhaustible small treasury, how could he let the people of Jia's house know?What's more, Wang Xifeng must be kept secret.

Soon, Yingchun moved into the courtyard house in Zhuangyuan Lane of Guozijian, and she named the courtyard house Qiuyuan.

Jia Lian accepted the lesson of the second sister You, specially selected two reliable family members from Jinling's hometown, secretly sold them to Yingchun, and asked them to serve Yingchun wholeheartedly.He also took pains to buy four maids and a cook for Yingchun from Ren Yazi, whom he was familiar with.Including Zhou Nanny and Xiuju who have a total of more than a dozen servants, Yingchun's small courtyard is also very popular.

Yingchun settled the accounts every month, excluding the clerk's wages, leaving enough capital and reserve silver, and distributed Jia Lian 60 taels of silver, which was more than a month's salary of a fifth-rank Beijing official at that time.Jia Lian didn't have to do anything, and he got 60 taels of silver a month for nothing, and he liked it very much.

He was always thinking about the inside story of Yingchun and Sun Shaozuyijue's divorce.When I met Sun Shaozu, I also tried to find out some inside information from him, but Sun Shaozu was very taboo about this matter and never mentioned it, which made Jia Lian even more confused.Why did Sun Shaozu, who was as fierce as a jackal, suddenly become afraid of Yingchun?

The more Jia Lian felt that this matter was strange, the less he dared to have too many unreasonable thoughts about Yingchun's shops. Now he is very satisfied with the status quo.

Yingchun has a monthly income of more than 300 taels of silver, which is many times more than those of the noble and serious masters of Jia's house. Yingchun's life is obviously very affluent.

Nanny Zhou was originally a close girl brought by Yingchun's mother from her natal family to Jia's mansion.When Yingchun's mother entered Jia's mansion, Jia She was young and her family was in its prime.

Yingchun's mother is the daughter of a declining aristocrat, with outstanding looks, introverted personality and strong self-esteem.She was favored by Jia She, and she became Jia She's concubine, but she never humbled her and flattered her, so she was very unfavored, and died after giving birth to Yingchun.

Even so, Zhou Nanny followed this poor man, and she learned about good things and a high-end life through her ears and eyes.

Yingchunnian Zhou Nanny is her mother's old man, and she has suffered a lot in Sun's house with her.When she was in adversity, she never left her. In addition, she had no home or children of her own, so she regarded Yingchun and Xiuju as her own flesh and blood.Yingchun regards her as a mother and respects her extremely.Let her be the housekeeper of Qiuyuan, and she can spend the money as she likes. When she runs out, she will just give her the money without saying anything or asking.

Soon, Nanny Zhou decorated Qiu Garden even more beautifully than Yingchun's mother's most favored residence.

Since Yingchun's master and servant left, no one in Jia's mansion mentioned Yingchun again, as if Jia Yingchun had never existed in Jia's mansion.

Now the most mentioned people are Tanchun and Daiyu, and sometimes the imperial concubine in the palace is also mentioned.It's a pity that the imperial concubine lives in the palace, which is too far away from them, making them unattainable.

They can visit Tanchun from time to time.Especially Baochai, who really tried to curry favor with her.

Prince's Mansion, what a deafening mansion this is.

Baochai thought to herself, with this umbrella covering her family's business in the capital, it would be windy and rainy.

Baochai and Sister Feng often surrounded Jiamu and talked about how they saw Tanchun being relied on by his parents-in-law and loved by his sons and daughters in the Prince's Mansion.When it comes to being happy, he also imitates Shi Ziye's foolish appearance with relish, and Tanchun's shy and happy appearance, which makes Jia's mother laugh happily.

When I am happy, I will always think of Daiyu and the jade garden worth hundreds of thousands of silver, and the happiness in my heart will be greatly reduced.

On the day Tanchun left the pavilion, Daiyu returned from Jia's mansion unhappy.

Afterwards, Jia's mansion sent people to pick up Daiyu several times, but Xiugu made excuses to refuse, and never picked up Daiyu.

Mrs. Wang often whispered in Jiamu's ear, which made Jiamu upset and hard to say anything.

In fact, Daiyu is still very important in Jiamu's mind.It's just that compared to Jia's interests, compared to the real sweetheart Jia Baoyu, Daiyu's weight is much lighter.Compared with Yingchun Tanchun and Xichun, Daiyu is still very much loved by Jia Mu.

Of course, the ingredients for this favorite are complex.
