Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 120 Shares
Rong Mansion, in the blue gauze cupboard of Jia Mu's main room.

"Miss Shi Da! There is someone in your house again, and they are talking in the old lady's room!"

Daiyu asked doubtfully: "Could it be that he came to pick you up? How many days have you stayed here?"

Xiang Yun also wondered: "Could it be something at home? I'll go and have a look!"

Daiyu grabbed her and said, "Don't worry!"

He pointed to the apartment to the west and said, "Let's call him up. If there's nothing serious, ask him to act bad in front of the old lady!"

When they arrived at the house, the two explained the situation to Baoyu.

Baoyu heard this and complained: "Our poetry club has only joined forces for the first time. Why is Sister Xiangyun leaving?"

Then he said, "Let's go! Let's go to our ancestors and beg her to go!"

When I left the house, I saw Baochai coming this way.

Xiangyun immediately went up to him and said, "Why is Sister Bao here?"

"My mother came over to talk to my aunt, so I thought about coming over to play with you!"

"Pfft!" Daiyu laughed out loud.

"Sister Lin, why are you laughing?" Xiangyun asked confused.

Daiyu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My sister Xiaobao didn't know the way to the house, so when she went to find us, she came to Baoyu's side. I guess there are not many who come!"

Baochai's face turned red when he heard this, and he quickly changed the subject and said, "Where are you guys going?"

Xiangyun and Baoyu hurriedly told Baochai about the historian's arrival, and the four of them came to Rongqing Hall together.

The person who came was none other than the wife of Shi Nai, a bowling lord.

Everyone bowed to Jia Mu and others first, and Xiangyun said hurriedly: "Auntie is here to take me back? Is there something going on at home?"

Just as Mrs. Shi Nai was about to speak, the little girl outside came to report again that the wife of Zhongjing Houfu was here.

Mrs. Shi Ding came in and saw her sister-in-law's expression stagnant, and paid greetings to Jia Mu.

He sneered and said: "Ha! Why didn't you tell me in advance when your sister-in-law came?"

"Brothers and sisters, please inform us in advance and I will wait for you to join us!"

Naturally, the two of them came here to invest in the glass factory. Unlike the Dragon Boat Festival, they were obviously acting separately this time.

Just because the emperor has let people know that the glass factory is limited by shares, it will be impossible for everyone to be happy. The State-owned Enterprise Department will review each applicant.

They didn't see Lai Shangrong at Dragon Boat Festival and didn't take it seriously. Shi Nai and Shi Ding had already received the news of Qin Ye's transfer, so they mainly wanted to use Jia Zhen to gain access to Qin Ye's relationship. Lai Shangrong was just incidental.

Unexpectedly, the two went to Ningfu, but Jia Zhen categorically refused.

Jia Zheng was not at home, and they were well aware of Jia She's habits. Asking him for help would at least cost them some skin.

As a last resort, he had to ask his mother-in-law to come to find Jia Mu again, hoping to resume the relationship with Lai Shangrong.

Since the shares are limited, it is less difficult if there are fewer people, so we did not come together like last time.

Everyone was at a loss when they heard this, and preconceived that they were here to pick up Xiangyun, but Xiangyun had followed Baolinghou Shi Nai and his wife since childhood, so why is Zhongjinghou's mansion also picking her up now.

While he was doubting, he heard Jia Mu say: "Baoyu, you guys, please go out first!"

Everyone hurriedly bowed and went out. Daiyu saw that Xiangyun was not staying at home, so she laughed and said: "I don't think our girl Yun is a hottie, why don't we secretly listen to what they say!" Baoyu was the first to agree, and lay down at the door.

I heard Mrs. Shi Nai say from inside: "Old lady, you also know that the title of Baolinghou Mansion was originally passed on to the uncle. He later made great achievements, but unfortunately it also triggered old wounds and passed away soon after he came back. But the uncle had no heirs, so the Supreme Emperor asked him to inherit the title of Marquis Baoling. According to the uncle's meritorious service at that time, it was not an exaggeration to be granted the title of Duke of the Kingdom. The title of Marquis Zhongjing was due to the Baolinghou Mansion. Feng, please ask the old lady to consider us this time!"

Mrs. Shi Ding said with a smile: "Although that is the case, it is also the meritorious service made by uncle. How can your family be entrusted with the title but not mine?"

"The child Xiangyun has been with us all the time. We have never been short of money these years. Besides, when she gets married, we will have to subsidize a dowry. Since you have received the favor of your uncle, why do you want to subsidize Xiangyun all these years?" cloud?"

The two were at odds with each other, refusing to give in to each other.

Mother Jia couldn't stand it anymore, so she waved her hand and shouted, "Okay! What are you talking about? I'll ask Shang Rong to come over and ask before we talk!"

Xiangyun felt a little disappointed when he heard that he was not here to pick him up.

Back at the Bisha Cupboard, Baochai pondered: "I heard the old lady said she wanted to find Brother Lai. Is it because of the shares in the glass workshop?"

This incident had already happened during the Dragon Boat Festival, so Baochai was not there at the time and didn't know about it.

Xiangyun asked curiously: "Who is this Brother Lai? Why does the old lady ask him?"

Baochai smiled and said: "This glass was made by Brother Lai. On my brother's birthday in the third year of junior high school, he also gave me a piece of newly produced glass. Why do you think the old lady asked him?"

Then the relationship between Lai Shangrong and Rongfu was discussed one by one.

When Baoyu saw Baochai and Xiangyun talking about Lai Shangrong, he felt a little disgusted and said hurriedly: "It's rare for us to get together, why not go find the third sister and the others and join forces again?"

…………

In the state-owned department's duty room, Lai Shangrong didn't know that someone was jealous of him, and he was receiving Jia Lian.

He just told Jia Lian about the investment last night. He was afraid that Lai Shangrong would regret it, so he came today with the money.

"Don't be in a hurry for this money, just register it first."

Lai Shangrong looked at the banknote handed over by Jia Lian and said with a smile: "Brother Lian has prepared this little money?"

Jia Lian said awkwardly: "Brother's body has been washed over by the Yaksha star. It's hard to save these 2000 taels these days."

He was not afraid that Jia Lian would get less shares, but seeing that he was short of money, he was afraid that he would not have the money to buy a foreign house.

"I've already spent this money to buy shares, so why don't my brother just buy his house?"

Jia Lian licked his face and said: "After buying shares in this glass workshop, you can sit and collect money, brother can only wrong Qiutong first."

Lai Shangrong waved his hand and said: "In this case, brother, you can go buy a foreign house. Anyway, there is still some time before the Bank of Communications here. If it is short by then, just borrow some money from other houses for the time being!"

"Really? Brother, you are interesting enough!"

After sending Jia Lian away, he immersed himself in every detail and recorded the conversation he had with Qin Ye yesterday on a secret book.

Uh……

The part about Qin Keqing was naturally filtered out by him automatically.

After writing the secret memorial, it was time to put it in the office. I put the memorial into a drawer and put it away. I locked the drawer and marked it. I also told Chen Jie, Yuan Chengtao and others about the arrangements for tomorrow's rest in the office. Leave the Yamen.

He canceled his vacation due to the glass production on the third day of the year, and the registration and calculation work will be completed in a while, and the factory construction will officially start in the middle of the year. Things will be busy by then, so it is better to take a break sooner rather than later.

Moreover, if you want to capture a female literary youth like Daiyu, you need to work hard to moisten things quietly and slowly to influence her.
