The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 735

Let's go back and talk about Rongguo Mansion.

Because Xue Baochai reminisced about the past with Shi Xiangyun in the Hengwu Courtyard, after receiving the reward from the palace, she returned to the wedding room and was still a little bit out of her wits.

"Is the girl tired?"

Seeing this, Xiangling said: "The bed has been scented, if you are tired, you might as well lie down and have a rest."

Aunt Xue also belatedly remembered that Baochai hadn't closed her eyes almost all night, so she also hurriedly persuaded her to rest for a while.

Xue Baochai was indeed physically and mentally exhausted, lying on the bed and soon fell asleep.

When he was in a daze, he saw Baoyu walking in big and big, with no cover on his head, fully exposing his ugly appearance.

Baochai sat up and frowned, "How did you get in here?"

Baoyu actually changed his previous obedience and humility, and said with a straight neck: "This is my home, I can come here however I want!"

Seeing that he seemed a bit mad and drunk, Xue Baochai didn't want to get entangled with him, so she raised her voice and called Ying'er, but no one answered outside.

At this time, Baoyu scolded impatiently: "What are you shouting for? Even if you scream your throat out, no one will agree!"

As he said that, he bullied the bed with an evil smile on his face, and the one who bared his teeth and claws rushed forward.

"what are you going to do?!"

Xue Baochai was shocked, and hurriedly struggled to dodge, but as a woman, how could she be a match for a man?

Seeing that the sky should not be called the earth, Baoyu suddenly heard the dazed Baoyu excitedly say: "Sister Lin, sister Lin, I finally got you, I finally got you!"

Seeing that he had mistook herself for Daiyu, Baochai was so angry that she turned over and sat up suddenly with a roar, but saw that it was quiet all around, only a candle in front of the window and a candle leaning against the wall. Xiangling who is dozing off, what about Jia Baoyu who looks so hideous?
"girl?"

At this time, Xiangling was also awakened by her movement, she hurriedly got up and rubbed her eyes and asked, "You're awake, do you want me to ask someone to heat up the dinner?"

It really was a dream!

Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, embraced the quilt and asked, "What time is it?"

Xiangling took out a pocket watch, glanced at it, and replied: "It will be a quarter of the day [[-]:[-] p.m.]."

Seeing that the pocket watch was strung together by a thin gold chain, Baochai couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that Brother Jiao treats you very well - when we were in our house in the early years, there was no such thing. Good things reward you."

Xiangling hurriedly said: "Young lady and wife treated me very well back then!"

After finishing speaking, he added: "The lady and the old lady over there treat me very well!"

Seeing her saying 'very good' one by one, Xue Baochai couldn't help but laughed and shook his head, teasing her deliberately: "Then which of these two excellent ones is better?"

Xiangling opened her mouth when she was asked, and was speechless.

Just when Xue Baochai thought she would not give an answer, she heard her expecting Ai Ai to say: "If you count the master, it's still better over there."

Baochai was taken aback for a moment, and then relieved.

That's right, if Brother Jiao is counted, the two are not comparable at all, after all, the man is the head of the family.

Xiangling came over and put a coat on her, and asked again: "Miss, are you getting up to eat, or simply have some cakes and tea?"

Xue Baochai looked around, and asked without answering, "Where's your wife? Didn't you say you'll sleep here at night?"

"It's my aunt..."

As Xiangling was talking, she suddenly felt something was wrong, she poked her chin with her finger and thought about it, then changed her words: "My wife asked my wife to go over and talk, and I have been gone for about half an hour."

"I said."

Xue Baochai nodded, but didn't think too much about it. After all, Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu clearly wanted to make a breakthrough from their mother.

Putting on her clothes, she got up and said, "Then simply warm up a bowl of rice porridge. It's so late, and it's easy to accumulate food if you eat too much."

Xiangling agreed, first waited for Xue Baochai to get dressed, and then waited for her to sit in front of the dressing table, and then took the time to pass on a message, and when she came back from the outside not long after, Qingwen was by her side.

"Baby girl."

After Qingwen entered the door, she reported indifferently: "Second Master Bao came this afternoon, but he just took a look from a distance and left."

In fact, to be more precise, he left after seeing Qingwen's cold face.

During the day, he actually discovered that Qingwen appeared beside Sister Bao, but at that time it was only when Xiangyun was visiting the sick, and it was inconvenient to bring too many people by his side, so he temporarily asked them to follow Sister Bao.

It wasn't until at the gate of the courtyard in the afternoon that I bumped into the icy Qingwen again, that I knew that Shi Xiangyun had temporarily seconded her here.

Baoyu didn't dare to see Sister Bao because of her lack of timidity in the morning, and it was all because of the desperate persuasion of the attackers that she came to show her courtesy.

As a result, when he bumped into Qingwen's cold face in front of the door, the courage he had finally mustered up was exhausted immediately, and he fled directly.

"understood."

Baochai nodded.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Qingwen said she was going to the small kitchen to get a bowl of hot porridge, and left the bridal chamber on her own.

After she left, Baochai asked Xiangling suspiciously: "Qingwen is not living well with you? Why do I see her keeping a straight face?"

"That's not true. She just can't let go of the matter of Yihong Courtyard. The wife and aunt have solved it, but it doesn't seem to have any effect."

After hearing this, Baochai wanted to say that where there is a master, there must be a servant, but on second thought, now that Qingwen is a member of the Jiao family, it would be inappropriate to say that again, so she turned to inquire about where Xiangling was. Daily news in that house.

Xiangling and her were masters and servants in the past, and they were very close to each other, but they would not hide anything they could tell.

I heard that Jiao Shun will prepare some romantic surprises for Xiangyun from time to time, and he is always caring and caring, trying to make her happy and relieve her boredom in different ways, Baochai is envious and sad at the same time.

If it's just these things, the main reason is that Brother Jiao, who is so amiable at home, is famous all over the world outside - and only in this way can he truly stand up to the saying "how can a pity be a husband".

On the other hand, Baoyu treats his feelings upside down, and the mud can't support the wall outside, so the only thing he can look at is his skin - but when he thinks about his ugly scab head now, it seems that even this only advantage It's all crumbling.

Listening and thinking, Xue Baochai just finished the bowl of rice porridge intermittently, only then did Xue Baochai realize that it was past Haizheng [ten o'clock in the evening], and she couldn't help frowning: "Why hasn't the wife come back yet?"

"Maybe it's the in-laws who kept her overnight?"

Xiangling stopped talking, stepped forward to take the empty bowl from Baochai, and said, "Why don't you let someone go over and ask?"

Baochai thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No need, the left and right are in this mansion, so could something unexpected happen."

…………

Not surprisingly.

Aunt Xue was just entangled by Jiao Shun and couldn't escape for a while.

Although he has always preferred Aunt Xue more among the two sisters, but this time it is obviously a bit too partial.

But Aunt Xue thought that he was trying to comfort her personally, and Madam Wang only thought that he was helping her to open Aunt Xue's heart, and they were all in the midst of self-movement, but how did she know that this thief was just thinking of Baochai? Just full of motivation.

Although he, a 'middleman', did his best to communicate well.

But the two sisters did not reach an agreement in the end. After all, Jia Baoyu's impromptu performance was too hip. Aunt Xue felt sorry for her daughter, so naturally she refused to let go easily.

In the end, Mrs. Wang could only return home with a fruitful career.

Silent all night.

The next day, Mrs. Wang got up late after three poles in the sun. As soon as she got dressed, she heard Caixia report that the third girl had come.

"Let her in."

Mrs. Wang lazily replied.

Not long after, Caixia brought Tanchun in, and seeing her sitting in front of the dressing table, she took Caiyun's place with ease, and helped Mrs. Wang comb her hair, and said, "Ma'am, I came here to ask when the family account book will be transferred." Is it suitable for my sister-in-law?"

Looking at the reflection in the mirror, she actually glimpsed a little bit of love, but she forcibly controlled it and didn't think much about it—after all, she was different from Wang Xifeng, and she would marry into Jiao's family sooner or later. If some shocking adultery was revealed , On the contrary, it will ruin your marriage.

Mrs. Wang didn't know she was showing her feet, when Tanchun mentioned the matter of handing over the account book, she frowned slightly, and said after a while: "Don't worry, your brother and her are now in trouble, it's better for you to take care of it first."

It is talking about the ledger, but it actually refers to the right of being the head of the house.

"Mrs."

Tanchun heard the words, and said softly: "You have to rely on me. The more conflicts arise between brother and sister-in-law, the more we should hand over power as soon as possible, so that sister-in-law will think of our good, and it will be easier to forgive brother."

When Mrs. Wang heard her awakening, she immediately thought about it. She now only has this precious son, and sooner or later the power of housekeeping will be handed over to Baochai. Instead of delaying it, it's better to use it as a bargaining chip.

So he immediately changed his mind and said: "Then you should explain it to her as soon as possible. Now that the account is still relatively sufficient, she should be able to feel more relieved after the account is settled."

Tanchun agreed, and continued to serve her to wash and wash up. After eating, she said goodbye and left from the hut in Qingtang.

When I got home and took out the account book I had prepared earlier, when I went to the wedding room in the front yard, I found that Baochai had already had visitors here.

"I said why I didn't see anyone in the morning, so I came to look for Sister Bao." She smiled and greeted Shi Xiangyun, and then said to Xue Baochai: "Sister-in-law, I came here today to relieve the burden. From now on, nothing will happen."

With that said, Ming Shishu and the others placed several thick account books on the table.

"It turns out that you want to settle accounts."

Baochai didn't know much yet, but Shi Xiangyun hurriedly stood up, waved his hands and said, "Then I won't be with you, it just so happens that the old lady should wake up, I'll go over there and have a look."

As he said that, he wanted to run away.

"Don't forget to go to Luxue Temple for a small gathering at noon."

Tanchun hurriedly chased her and reminded: "Otherwise, I won't let you go at night!"

"got it!"

Shi Xiangyun agreed, but he had already walked away.

"Look at her~!"

Tanchun went back to the house and said to Baochai who was looking at the account books, "I'm really spoiled by brother Jiao. I heard that I don't worry about family affairs. Sister Xing and Heping'er are in charge of everything."

After a pause, he said again: "Sister-in-law..."

Baochai shook her head and interrupted her: "Let's use the old address."

Tanchun knew that she didn't want to call herself 'sister-in-law', so she had to change her words: "Sister Bao, when Sister Feng was the housekeeper, I always felt that there were still many things to improve, but I really didn't realize until it was my turn to be the master. The difficulty of this."

Baochai said with a smile: "I heard that since my younger sister is the housekeeper, she has done an excellent job of increasing income and reducing expenditure. Even Sister Feng is willing to bow down."

"It's just tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall."

Hearing that Tanchun was modest, Baochai subconsciously opened the general ledger and glanced at the bank balance. There was a specific amount, so he could praise Tanchun a few words, but when he saw the number clearly, he was stunned.

After repeated confirmation several times, I still couldn't believe it and asked: "Is the balance in this family miscalculated? Why is there still as much as 3 taels?"

3 taels was originally only a small amount of money for an honorable family like the Rongguo Mansion, but compared to a few months ago when they could barely spend money to help the Wang family with funerals, this 3 taels was already enough to be called a huge sum.

Tan Chun waved his hand, signaling Shi Shu and Xiang Ling to step back for the time being, and then said: "It's a bit hard to talk about it, but it's not that our family insists on taking advantage, it's just that the Wang family has no other way out."

But it turned out that the Rongguo Mansion had to mortgage the shares and dividends of the tire shop in order to prepare for the wedding.

Originally doing this, although funds could be raised in a short period of time, due to the lack of income from the tire shop, it was almost impossible to redeem the mortgaged dry shares.

But at this time, Tanchun came up with an idea, using the mortgaged money to buy the shares of the Wang family at a low price, and then pledged a part of it, and redeemed the dividends. The rest, besides mending holes and preparing for the wedding, was actually paid for. There will be 3 taels of silver left.

In this way, the family not only solves the short-term financial crisis, but also takes the opportunity to expand future income, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

The only problem is that it’s a bit ugly to eat—the price of directly buying out the shares and pledging them is quite different, not to mention that the shares of the Wang family are more than those of the Jia family. Shi Xiangyun’s dowry], the inside and outside are even worse.

That is to say, the Wang family is now completely in decline, otherwise they would never agree to this kind of deal that takes advantage of the fire.

When Jia Tanchun talked about this matter, he had to use some spring and autumn brushwork, but Xue Baochai still analyzed the inside story from it, and couldn't help but secretly sighed that it turned out that adversity reveals the truth.

But ignoring the feeling of guilt, Xue Baochai was also greatly relieved. He thought that after marrying, he would have to pay back his dowry to mend the hole, but unexpectedly he still had a little more money.

In this way, at least there is no major problem in passing the New Year's Eve, and even if the old lady has an emergency, she can manage to cope with it.

So I can't help but feel admiration for Tanchun's management ability.

I was dragging Tanchun to discuss the matter of increasing income and reducing expenditure. I didn't want Mrs. Wang to suddenly send someone to invite them, and they were not invited to the Qingtang hut, but to Rongxi Hall.

Knowing that there must be something important, the two aunts and sisters hurriedly followed the messenger to Rongxi Hall.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were originally worried, but when they saw them coming in from the outside, they forced a smile and said: "Just now there is great news from the palace. On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the empress is going home to visit her relatives again!"

"what?!"

Baochai Tanchun and Qiqi let out a low cry, both of them still remember the scene of gold mountains and silver mountains flying out, and if they want to come to visit their relatives now, don't they want to force their families into high debts? !
