Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Xue Baochai is not stupid, on the contrary he is a smart person who knows what he needs most now.

After hearing these words, Yan Hong suddenly realized, and said in a very admiring tone:

"Miss, you should think about it more clearly. The servant girl never thought of it so much, and she only cares about the money."

Xue Baochai looked at her, and said: "It's good that you understand my considerations, miss. You will encounter this kind of situation more often in the future. You can't put on a grudging look.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of money, and the effect that people are grateful for has not yet been achieved.As long as they take more money from me, and take advantage of my short hand to eat people's soft mouth, it will be much easier for your young lady to do anything in the future!"

"I understand, miss. Don't worry, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, and I will definitely not ruin your business."

"Well, that's fine, help me to see how Baoyu is doing, and come back to me later." Xue Baochai picked up the mansion's account book for this month and read it, and ordered.

"Yes, Miss!" After Yan Hong finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the house where Jia Baoyu was living.

After Yanhong entered Jia Baoyu's room, she saw Jia Baoyu sitting on the kang table in a daze, the snacks and tea on the table didn't move at all.

The maids beside Jia Baoyu, Qiuwen and Bihen, have been waiting by the side, looking after him at all times, so as not to let him do anything irrational and hurt himself.

If something happened to Bao Erye under the noses of him and others, then he and others would not have to live.

And now Jia Baoyu is only occasionally uncontrollable, crazy and wants to rush out to find something, other times he stays very quietly in the room, as if he has forgotten that he is alone.

Not eating or drinking, helping him to lie down, letting him sit while sitting, dressing and eating, all need someone to take care of him, otherwise he can just sit or lie down, not at all. know hunger and fullness.

Yan Hong asked Qiuwen and the others, and said:

"Second Master Bao is okay in the morning. Is there any difference from the reaction of the previous few days? Grandma Bao asked me to come over and ask you to take good care of Second Master Bao!"

Jia Baoyu has become like this now, and the maids who have been serving him around him are really anxious. If the second master Bao doesn't get better, his sisters don't know if they can survive or be directly killed by the second wife. They barely survived by being sold outside where they were pickled.

Even if you are lucky enough to escape the liquidation of the old lady and the second wife in the mansion, you can only make a living under the hands of the second grandma Bao. The second grandma Bao is not a good talker. Master is thinking about himself and these people to some extent, and he doesn't know what will happen!

Qiuwen and Bihen didn't dare to offend Xue Baochai's confidant, Yanhong, and they both called out very respectfully: "Sister Yanhong, you are here!"

Seeing Yanhong asking about Jia Baoyu's situation, Qiuwen stepped forward and replied:

"Second Master Bao has been very well-behaved since he woke up in the morning, and he didn't bother to run outside. There is nothing wrong with it. Sister Yanhong, don't worry. If there is anything, we will definitely notify Bao Er as soon as possible. Grandma's."

Yan Hong checked it out, and after confirming that there was really nothing wrong, she turned around and went back to Xue Baochai.

On Wang Xifeng's side, Xiaohong came in from the outside a bit bluffing, and said to Wang Xifeng in a gloating tone:

"Second Mistress, guess what news the servant heard from outside just now?"

Wang Xifeng was half lying on the slum, burning several smokeless charcoal pots in the winter house, and was lazily breaking apart well-preserved oranges to eat, which was in stark contrast to the light snow falling outside the house, which froze the water. Compared.

Glancing at Xiaohong, who was still radiant with chills, she said to Ping'er:

"Look at this girl's temperament, but she is very different from the honest look she saw before. It can be seen that we have spoiled her like this. She is an honest child before!"

By the way, he glanced at Xiaohong and said:

"Look at you, you don't know the cold, go to the charcoal basin to warm up the fire, if the weather is freezing now, it will be terrible. I can't guess what news you got outside, so don't be fooled, say Say it!"

Since Xiaohong was dropped by Wang Xifeng's side, she has become the most important confidant girl besides Ping'er beside Wang Xifeng. She roasted her hands that were red from the snow and wind outside, and then took the hot tea handed over by other maids. , take a sip, and it will warm your heart.

After almost dispelling the cold air brought in from the outside, Xiao Hong said:

"The slave girl just met the little sister in the old lady's yard, saying that the second master wrote a letter and came back to get the money. Do you guess where the second master spent so much money before?"

It's not unusual for Jia Zheng to ask for money when he comes back. With his official salary, it's enough for him to go out for a meal.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng and Heping'er were not surprised at all, they were obviously not very interested in the news she told, so Xiaohong had no choice but to keep her secret, and continued:

"The old lady and the second wife are also wondering why the second master's money is spent so quickly. After checking, it turns out that our second master has a new hobby recently, which is to go to the flower house to drink flower wine and take care of the oiran.

Think about it, the people in this flower building see that the second master has money, so why not make him pay the money in a different way!It's only been a few months, and it cost almost 2 taels. This cost... Chi Chi! "

Wang Xifeng didn't feel anything when she heard the previous words. As long as Jia Lian didn't go to drink flower wine, she wouldn't worry about whether others would go or not!

But I heard that the second master actually spent so much money, which is almost [-] yuan. Now, except for the untouchable properties in the mansion, the whole total is only [-] to [-] yuan. This is half of the money spent at once. Won't Wang Xifeng be surprised?

"Just now, Yuanyang went to Second Grandma Bao to get the silver, and was about to send it to the Second Master. I heard that Second Grandma Bao used her private room to put the silver on it!

Or Second Mistress, you have a long-term vision, and you have released part of the power to Second Grandma Bao, otherwise you will have to pay for money today. In the current situation in the house, no matter how much money you have, it is not enough! "Xiao Hong said happily.

Ping'er was also very glad to hear this, the housekeeper of the second grandmother before, had already paid ten thousand taels of silver to go in without knowing it, and now I can't find someone to ask for an explanation, and I don't know if I can get it back in the future come back!

Seeing the current situation in the mansion, Wang Xifeng just sighed. The important thing is that before Xue Baochai was married into the mansion, half of the housekeeping power was divided into her and she was still a little uncomfortable. Similarly, I have to use my own silver to pad it from time to time. Judging from this situation, I will only pad a lot more than myself in the future!

Seeing that even the people around her thought so, Wang Xifeng smiled and said in a relaxed voice:

"That's right, I don't have so much silver to put on the money now, Second Mistress, so I have to give up my position to someone who can help put on the money!"

Ping'er and the others felt the same way when they heard it. The old lady and the second wife were not confused. Maybe the second grandma Bao was thinking of doing this before she got married!

Who told Grandma Bao's family to be an imperial merchant, among other things, there is no shortage of money!

Although he doesn't have to pay for the money himself, the second master's expenses must be paid by the public. If he spends too much, he doesn't know how much he will have left after the family is separated. This is obviously an occupation Dafang suffered a loss.

Wang Xifeng said a little unhappy again:

"This second master is really serious. Knowing that our mansion can't even support the empty shelf, he doesn't take money seriously and spends it hard. How will we live in the future?"

Jia's mansion is like a funnel now, once something happens, it will soon spread throughout the whole mansion, since even Wang Xifeng and the others know about it.

Naturally, it was impossible for Jia She and Li Mo not to have heard of it. Li Mo didn't care much about Jia Zheng's behavior, but Jia She didn't agree with Jia Zheng's behavior.

Although Jia Amnesty still had some personal money, most of it had already been transferred out, and only a small part remained with him.

When the purse is empty, the spending of money has naturally become more refined. Now the big room has to pay for the extra meals every day, and Li Mo eats a lot, so he has to pick the best ones. Even Jia Amnesty couldn't eat the meals prepared uniformly in the house, so he had to pay for it out of his own pocket every day.

Jia Amnesty calculated that he only had 1 taels of silver on him, and according to the speed at which Dafang spent money, he could still last for a year or two.

But you can’t just spend without earning, just watch the money flow out!I still have to live in the future, so it is rare to think about whether there is any way to make money?

But on weekdays, Jia She's properties are rented out to collect rent, or else they buy fields and keep them for rent collection. There are a few shops, but the business is not tepid, and they can't make much money. .
