[Red Mansion] Yinglian should not be pitiful

Not to mention how Xue Zhi persuaded Xue Wang, this Zhen Baoyu is much better than Jia Baoyu, whom she is obsessed with.It only said that Zhen Yingjia received the 5 taels of silver bills that Xue brought back from Xue's house, and sent all trusted people back to the old house in Gusu. The marriage of Zhen Baoyu and Xue Baochai was officially confirmed within a few days.

In Gusu, after receiving the 5 taels of silver bills sent by Zhen Yingjia's cronies, the Feng family took the time to renovate the house, rearrange the tables and table decorations, and use the extra money to buy some residential houses near the Zhen family's old house. Next, after opening the courtyard gate and connecting it, all of them were demolished and rebuilt. In terms of the scale of the project, it is only slightly smaller than the family-friendly villas built in Rongning and Ningxia in the book.

Since Emperor Kangxi's southern tour was coming soon, the Feng family paid three times the wages to speed up the craftsmen who depended on one craft for a living. In just over half a month, they rebuilt an old house connected with the Zhen family. But it is a separate building in its own right.

With such a large sum of money, the 5 taels of silver sent back by Zhen Yingjia's cronies is naturally not enough.Although the old man Kangxi also made a decree that he could borrow from the treasury, Zhen Li and Feng felt that this was inappropriate, so they decided not to borrow money from the treasury as a last resort.But what should I do if there is still a shortage of silver taels? After Zhen Li posted his personal silver taels in, he had to write to Zhen Yingjia to explain the lack of silver taels.

"If the second family really can't afford the money, let's sell a few of Zhuangzi! We can't borrow money from the treasury like other families."

What Zhen Li said made Feng nod his head again and again, agreeing very much. "The old lady is right. The matter of borrowing money has always been about borrowing and repaying, not to mention the state. Is it possible that this borrowed the state's silver and still did not repay it... The daughter-in-law watched coldly. Those who follow the trend are facing the treasury. People who borrow money, I am afraid that the Long Live Lord will be fine when he is in power, but once the new emperor ascends the throne, I am afraid that he will suffer..."

"Okay, don't talk about this, old man, you have to remember, don't speak so freely in the future." Zhen Li shook her head, stopped the topic, and at the same time did not forget to warn Feng Shi.

Feng Shi has always been a filial daughter-in-law, and she also listens to Zhen Li's preaching.When Mrs. Zhen Li said this, Mrs. Feng immediately said: "My daughter-in-law knows that when the Lord Long Live comes, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and you will never talk too much!"

Hearing this, Zhen Lishi nodded in satisfaction.Li Shi Zhen likes Feng Shi, she is knowledgeable, virtuous, and filial to her elders, unlike the second wife's original wife Mrs. Shi, her words and deeds are an insult to the words of Hou Men's birth and noble status.

However, shortly after this conversation, Zhen Yingjia, who was far away in Jinling and had already taken office, asked Xue to go back to Xue's house shortly after receiving the letter written by Mrs. Zhen Li himself, and asked for 10 taels of silver. Zhen Baoyu and Xue Baochai, the fiancé couple whose marriage was officially confirmed, returned to Gusu with the 10 taels of silver invoice.

The reason why Zhen Yingjia did this was for two reasons. One was to give his eldest son Zhen Baoyu a chance to face the saint, and the other was to explain the source of the money to Mrs. Zhen Li. After all, he lived in the old house in Gusu for more than a year. In the past two years, Zhen Li probably knows how much assets he has (Most of Zhen Yingjia's cash is used to entertain colleagues in the officialdom and use up connections), maybe 15, but [-]... .Hehehe, maybe I can earn so much in one or two years after I renew my job.

After Zhen Baoyu and Xue Baochai arrived in Gusu, and solemnly handed over the 10 taels of silver notes to Zhen Li, not only Zhen Li, Feng, Yin Lian, but even the eight or nine-year-old Pingan brother, instantly Understand where the Zhen family got the money to build the villa, renovate the furniture in the house, and display all kinds of rare decorations.

Zhen Li was filled with emotion, and took Xue Baochai's hand affectionately. "If Brother Bao betrays you, my old ancestor will be the first to refuse."

After Xue Baochai smiled shyly, she said generously. "Don't worry, old ancestor, Baoyu treats Chai very well."

Zhen Li patted Xue Baochai's hand, motioned for her to sit next to him, and said to Yin Lian who was sitting on the other side of her. "Sister Lian, you are a big sister. You usually pay attention to Sister Bao, but you can't use your sister's style to make Sister Bao do things."

"The granddaughter knows."

Yin Lian pretended to reply resentfully, causing Xue Baochai to cover her mouth and snigger, before smiling again. "What did the old ancestor say? How could I make Sister Baochai do things? If I do this, I won't be troubled by Brother Bao."

"Who can bully you." Brother Pingan opened his mouth, causing the whole room to burst into laughter.Yin Lian's eyes widened, and she looked around only to see brother Ping'an in a daze.At this time, only Yin Lian said coldly. "Why are you still here, instead of going to the private school!"

When Brother Pingan heard Yin Lian's tone, he knew that she was angry, so he couldn't help saying pitifully. "Aren't I so excited to see Brother Bao and Sister Baochai coming...I'm going to the private school now!"

After all, Brother Ping'an bowed his hands to Zhen Baoyu, saying that when he came back to make friends after leaving the private school, Yin Lian spoke again. "Brother Bao is the same, go to private school with Brother Pingan..."

As soon as Yin Lian finished her words, brother Ping'an and Zhen Baoyu, brothers and sisters in trouble, hurriedly took them to the private school together.

After the two left, Zhen Li shook her head and sighed again and again. "Not only Brother Ping'an, but even Brother Bao is like a mouse seeing a cat when seeing you. If you say that you don't restrain your temper, I, an old man, won't worry about your talent show tomorrow."

"Look at what my ancestor said, how can I be so fierce!" Yin Lian chuckled and explained to the thoughtful Xue Baochai. "Sister Baochai didn't know when she first came here. Brother Ping'an and Brother Bao didn't stare at him for a day, so he dared to skip a day's study. Besides, our female relatives are talking here, and the two of them are here. What are you doing..."

Zhen Li is a person who respects rules, so he naturally understood the meaning of Yin Lian's words, so he took the initiative to cut off the conversation, and talked about other things with Yin Lian and Xue Baochai.The three of them were chatting about family affairs, when Feng suddenly raised the curtain and walked in, saying with a smile.

"I've sent someone to order the poor furnishings in each courtyard. They are all made of high-quality elm, and I have stated that I want the things urgently. I think I will receive the finished products in a few days."

After Zhen Li nodded, Feng continued. "Brother Bao and Brother Ping'an are going to live in Xia Heyuan (the original lotus courtyard) for the time being, and Sister Bao will live with Sister Lian for the time being. As for the old lady, she will live in the side courtyard with her daughter-in-law. Clean up this main courtyard to welcome Shengjia."

"You have arranged it very well."

After Zhen Li nodded again, she asked Yin Lian and Xue Baochai to help her up, and slowly walked out of the main courtyard.The Feng family also followed, and the four of them strolled around the brand-new open-air garden together. At dusk, Brother Ping'an and Zhen Baoyu came back from the private school, ate food together, chatted for a while, and then went away separately.

You must know that although the marriage between Zhen Baoyu and Xue Baochai has been put on the bright side, Zhen Baoyu is two years younger than Yin Lian, Xue Baochai is also one year younger than Yin Lian, and Yin Lian is still young, let alone just engaged Zhen Baoyu and Xue Baochai, so it is most appropriate to live in separate houses.

"My sister is really elegant here!" Following Yin Lian's return to Wuxianyuan, Xue Baochai admired while looking at the surrounding scenery. "Just looking at it makes people feel refreshed and happy!"

"If you like it, then when you and Brother Bao get married, you can arrange it like this."

When Xue Baochai heard this, her round cheeks were instantly stained red.However, although Xue Baochai was shy, he spoke generously. "It's still early. The marriage between Brother Bao and I will have to wait at least three years before it can take place."

"The two of you are still young, and it is right to hold the wedding three years after ascending to the throne, but listening to Sister Baochai, why does my sister have such a feeling that my sister can't wait..."

Speaking of which, Yin Lian smiled narrowly at Xue Baochai, making Xue Baochai jump up and down in embarrassment. "Well, you sister Lian, do you make fun of my sister like this? It's not strange that I tore your mouth!"

"It would be weird if you could tear it apart. Well, let's stop joking with each other. It's serious to wash up and go to bed early." Yin Lian smiled lightly, and pulled Xue Baochai into the room.

The Wuxian Garden where Yin Lian lives is small and exquisite, and there are six rooms in the front hall and the back house. Because Yin Lian likes to be quiet, there are not many people serving in the Wuxian Garden. There are only seven women who are in charge of the spoons. Now that there is one more Xue Baochai and the maid Ying'er, it doesn't seem too crowded.

After Yin Lian and Xue Baochai entered the house, Lianqiao and Ying'er rushed to the small kitchen and each brought a pot of hot water for Yin Lian and Xue Baochai to wash and remove makeup.

Compared with Yin Lian's simplistic swearing, Xue Baochai's hair style is much more complicated, with a one-piece bun, surrounded by jewels and emeralds, which looks extremely jeweled.

"Tomorrow, I want to follow my sister's example and dress more simply. Today, I tried the dress of a noble lady that my aunt said, and I was exhausted." With Yinger's help, Xue Baochai finally took off her hair. Zhucui removed her bun, and changed into a light pink inner garment that looked [-]% new, with pink peonies embroidered only on the hem and skirt, and turned to face the one who had removed her bun earlier, and was dressed in plain clothes. Yin Lian in the moon-white tunic said.

Xue Lian, who was about to take off her socks and wash her feet, nodded dispensably, then yawned, and suggested. "Tomorrow, let's comb your hair. I think sister Yi Baochai's face shape must be very dignified and beautiful!"

"Well, just listen to Sister Lian."
