Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 299 Overnight
Early that morning, Li Weijian pushed the door open and saw that the ground was covered with snow. There was a layer of frost-like ice crystals on the ground and on the ridges of the house. He didn't know whether it was because of the snow last night or the sharp temperature. Falling frost.

While waiting for breakfast, all the concubines were there, except for Baoqin.

Li Weijian couldn't help but ask, and Xiang Ling said: "Miss Qin seems to have caught the cold. She said she was afraid that she would not be able to get over it after the illness passed. Hongyu just asked someone to send food to her."

Li Weijian was immediately concerned and said: "I ordered the boiler room later. Don't be stingy with the coal. Always make everything warm. I went back and asked the imperial doctor to give Bao Qin a closer look."

Ruby responded, no need to mention it.

Although he was worried about him, he had important things to do today. After a hurried breakfast, Li Weijian took a car to the Yamen of Wubeiyuan. The carriage and horses had just passed Xuanwu Gate when they heard a sudden uproar on the street.

Li Weijian lifted the curtain and took a look, then hurriedly sent Ding Rusong to sweep. Na Ding Rusong rode his horse to investigate, and after a while he came back and said with joy: "Go back to the master, just now Lubu Feijie said that the army and the army had a great victory in Koshetu. The general Yue Zhongqi set up an ambush and killed and captured tens of thousands of thieves in one battle. Galdan made zero Defeat Ili!"

Li Weijian smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

The border troops merged with the Beijing camp, and the soldiers and horses from six towns attacked in two directions. Especially the three towns of the Beijing camp were equipped with new fire guns. As long as the general who led the troops was not stupid to the extreme, there was no reason to lose if they pushed all the way!
At the moment, Li Weijian did not care about the outcome of the battle, but only thought about the impact of this battle on the situation of the DPRK. With the power of victory, Emperor Zhenghe became more powerful, and so did the New Party. I am afraid that Chen Hongmou will forcefully implement various laws when he is proud. Tsk, teacher Yan Xiyao's life has been difficult lately.

While thinking about it, the carriage arrived at the Yamen of Dewubeiyuan. When it arrived at the second hall, a group of officials hurriedly came to greet it. When Li Weijian got inside, Xue Biao came to report: "Mr. doctor, the coin minting machine was tested overnight last night. I used your recipe and the silver coins obtained are indeed exquisite and will not be easily out of shape."

The fineness of this new silver coin is 79%. Calculating, it can probably be minted... more than 56 million? Tsk, there are eight million taels more out of thin air!

Li Weijian then smiled and said: "Da Situ is joking. They are all working for the imperial court, so how can we talk about cutting off love? If Wen Dou is willing, he can go to Baoquan Bureau to show off his skills."

Only then did Xue Biao agree to retreat.

It was not until sunset that day that Li Weijian Shi Shiran returned home.

This minting of coins has a lot of benefits and no harm. It can not only collect the more than 10% of the coinage tax, but also avoid the hassle of returning it to the public. Especially the latter, I don't know how much trouble it will save.

Xue Biao replied: "Back to the doctor, this silver coin is made of 79% silver and 21% copper. If the fire consumption is calculated based on the fineness, and the coal and labor are removed, more than 10% will be left. If it is made in large quantities, it will be one You can still make half of it.”

..................................................................

Li Weijian did not dare to neglect at the moment and hurriedly went outside to greet him. When I arrived near the second gate, I saw the great Situ, with his sleeves fluttering, coming in a hurry with a group of officials.

"Okay, let me ask you, then the fire consumption is really only half a percent? The profit can be 15%?"

Li Weijian stepped inside and immediately smelled the smell of soup. There was rustling in the bedroom, and Li Weijian hurriedly said: "Sister Qin is ill, so please don't work."

"Li Fusheng!" Wang Shiyun didn't listen to Li Weijian's greeting at all. He only stepped forward and grabbed him: "Let me ask you, can the fire consumption of the silver coin be reduced by half?"

Qingwen handed over the wet handkerchief and said, "I called the imperial doctor early in the morning. He just said it was an ordinary wind and cold. He prescribed a prescription and took two doses of medicine. I sweated in the afternoon and said it was Much better.”

After entering the small courtyard, Xiaoluo noticed it early through the window, hurriedly opened the door and opened the curtain, and happily announced inside: "Girl, the master is here!"

Hongyu and Qingwen were waiting to greet him, and Qingwen asked with concern: "Can Fourth Master have dinner? Why are you back just now?"

Chief Situ Wang Shiyun made a quick calculation in his mind. Last year, after taking into account the taxes collected by local governments and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the total, together with miscellaneous income, totaled 48 million taels. The quality was probably 93%.

Li Weijian sat down and thought to himself, fearing that King Zhongyong might not care much about it this time. After all, no matter how exquisite the silver coin was, it would not be as good as the new fire gun in the eyes of the prince. It's hard not to blame him for not doing his job properly as a military doctor.

Although this coin minting machine was made by the inner government, if you want to mint coins, you can't go around the Hubu Yamen. Li Weijian thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, send someone to Baoquan Bureau to deliver a copy as well."

Wang Shiyun hurriedly raised his head to observe: "Which one is Governor Xue?"

Li Weijian pinched the edge with two fingers, raised it up and blew in a sharp breath. Sure enough, there was a buzzing sound when he put it to his ear. Immediately he felt happy and said with a smile: "Yes, Wen Dou has done a good job, can you calculate the cost of fire?"

As he spoke, he winked at the clerk carrying the tray, who hurriedly served it. Li Weijian picked up a silver coin and looked at it. Because it was mixed with more than 20% copper, the silver coin was dark yellow in color and was quite heavy to buy. Since it was just a trial production, it said "One Yuan" on the front and "One Yuan" on the back. Begonia flowers. The edges also have anti-chip serrations.

As for the two errands that showed up before and after, if Uncle Li hadn't appointed him, Xue Biao, someone else would have been able to handle them. Thinking of this, Xue Tao calmed down in an instant, and hurriedly said with his hands, "I am grateful for the great Situ's love. It's just that I am still young and can't do enough. I also want to learn more tricks from my uncle."

"Okay!" Li Weijian applauded, and immediately ordered: "Wen Dou, please send someone to report the good news to the prince."

On the other hand, the Household Department... the Household Department and the Household Department are the exclusive preserve of the New Party. In the past few years, Li Weijian had been working hard to open up financial avenues for the court, which led to his continuous western expedition. But when this battle for peace is over, I'm afraid there will be another rat in the Ministry of Household's warehouse. The original intention of the New Party's reform was to improve the tax revenue of the imperial court. Why not be anxious if there is no money in hand?

Xue Biao Surong replied: "Back to Da Situ, this silver coin is forged by a machine. When the machine is started, the more you make, the more profit you will make. The lower official once made a rough calculation. If 30 million coins are made every year, the profit will be greater." The profit is no less than 15%.”

Wang Shiyun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was the same year as Chen Hongmou, the first assistant. The two had a close friendship. However, Wang Shiyun was the head of the new party, but he often argued with Chen Hongmou over the law.

Xue Biao, who was in the crowd at the back, hurriedly came out of the crowd. Although he was ecstatic in his heart, his face remained calm. He hurriedly saluted and said, "I am Xue Biao, the official."

Li Weijian smiled and raised his hand to guide inside: "Da Situ can take a look anytime he wants. Da Situ invites you first. It will take some time for the boiler to rise. We might as well drink tea inside first."

Li Weijian immediately said: "This matter will be handed over to Governor Xue. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask him."

This Baoquan Bureau is under the Ministry of Household Affairs and is directly controlled by the Minister. It can be regarded as the Mint Bureau of Dashun, with more than 20 subordinate mints in the North and South.

Sure enough, as Li Weijian expected, the forged silver coins were sent to the inner government office, and King Zhongyong only replied, "I understand." There was no movement on the other side of the Baoquan Bureau, but as they were approaching the office, a clerk came eagerly, cupping his hands and saying, "Mr. Master, the great Situ is here in person!"

Moreover, this silver coin is exquisite in style and has its own anti-counterfeiting features. If it is scattered, it will be hidden by the gentry before it can be circulated. In this way, in the next ten or twenty years, we can probably spend several million taels more, so why worry about such a big thing!
Wang Shiyun was so excited that he immediately praised him: "Okay, okay, Governor Xue has done such a bad job! If Mr. Li cuts off his love, can you let Governor Xue come to the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development?"

Xue Biao accepted with his hands raised, and then said thoughtfully: "Mr. Sir, do you want to send some silver coins to the Baoquan Bureau?"

Excluding the labor and fire costs, that’s still six million taels of silver!

Li Weijian felt a little relieved and asked Fu Qiufang about his situation. It was only at nightfall that he got up and went to the West Road Courtyard.

Li Weijian immediately bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty Li Wei——"

Hearing this, Xue Biao was moved, but suddenly calmed down. How could he, a son of a merchant like him, be an official now without Uncle Li's love?

Li Weijian smiled and said, "When I was about to leave the Yamen, Da Situ came here, and then I simply found a restaurant to have some food."

"Baoquan Bureau?"

Wang Shiyun was also excited and said the unintentional words. He regretted what he said, because he laughed and said: "Resurrection really has a way, let's go and talk about this coin minting. That's right, where is the machine now?" "

When he got to the main room in the east courtyard, Li Weijian remembered Baoqin and hurriedly asked Qingwen to ask.

"Oh?"

While he was talking, Li Weijian entered and looked up to see Bao Qin, wearing a plain middle coat, with bare feet and about to get out of bed.

Seeing Li Weijian, Baoqin suddenly sighed in aggrieved tone: "Fourth brother."

Li Weijian came closer and said, "I've been told that you won't be allowed to work anymore. Just lie down alive."

Baoqin obediently agreed and lay down again. Li Weijian simply covered him with a quilt. Xu Shi was suffering from a fever, Bao Qin's plain little face was flushed, and she looked at Li Weijian pitifully under the quilt.

Li Weijian called Little Toad and asked Baoqin carefully about his daily routine and food, and then said: "Even if you lose your appetite in this cold weather, you have to eat more, otherwise the disease will probably last for a few more days. What can Sister Qin do?" If you want something to eat, just go to the kitchen at the back and ask for it.”

Baoqin nodded in agreement.

Li Weijian asked again: "Why did you catch a cold after a long time?"

Xiaoluo complained from the side: "I don't know, sir, but the girl always thought that she was strong. Last night, she walked around in single clothes after taking a bath. She didn't cover her with a thick quilt at night, and she got sick when she got up early."

Li Weijian said: "You are so old, why don't you take care of yourself?"

Baoqin blinked and said nothing.

Feeling pity in his heart, Li Weijian reached out and touched Baoqin's forehead again. He felt relieved when he saw that it was only slightly warm and not very hot. Then he talked about the situation during the day.

Baoqin listened ignorantly, enjoying being alone with Li Weijian. Fu Qiufang has been studying the accounts for a long time, and he was supposed to go around to do the accounting today. However, he caught a cold while excited last night, which delayed the accounting.

Baoqin was still regretful in the afternoon, but now that he saw Li Weijian, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. She came to the uncle's house in a good time, but now she and her fourth brother are just in love but not polite. Although the fourth brother liked her very much, he never wanted to go beyond the boundaries. Baoqin always felt that the fourth brother was raising her as a younger sister.

Where can this go? When Baoqin Tiangui first arrived, it was the time when his love for him was beginning to blossom, and he wished he could stick to his fourth brother every day. However, Li Weijian only held hands with him, came to visit at night, and then left after sitting for a while.

Baoqin heard from Xiuying that Qingwen was serving her fourth brother in the room when she was only a little older than her. If he waits until he is a hairdresser and then enters his fourth brother's room, he might think that he is his younger sister!

Now that I have caught the wind and cold, it is just right. I can't say that I can get my wish just by asking for permission.

At this time, the little clam opened the curtain and came in, carrying a bowl of wontons in his hand.

Li Weijian looked at it and asked, "You haven't had dinner yet?"

Little Toad said: "The girl only used it briefly and said she had no appetite, so I asked the kitchen to make some small wontons."

Li Weijian simply stood up and took the small wontons. He glanced at them and saw that the wonton skin inside was as thin as crepe. It was paired with chopped green onion, garlic leaves and egg skin. It looked very tempting.

He scooped up one with a spoon and blew it to cool down. He slowly brought it to Baoqin's mouth and said, "Try it."

Bao Qin opened his mouth and swallowed one. After chewing it twice, he smiled and said, "It's stuffed with eel and shrimp. It's really delicious."

Li Weijian smiled and said: "It rarely suits your taste, so use more."

Baoqin clicked, and then Li Weijian fed a few more, but Baoqin couldn't eat any more. Li Weijian saw Baoqin eating deliciously, and couldn't help but feel greedy, so he simply ate the remaining coins by himself.

After lingering for a while, Li Weijian got up and left when the watch was already on. Unexpectedly, just as he stood up, a small hand grabbed his sleeve. He turned around and saw Bao Qin saying aggrievedly: "Fourth brother, can you stay a little longer?"

Li Weijian was still thinking about it, and Xiaoluo on the side said: "Master, other girls have arranged their dates. Although the girl is young, logically she should have arranged her dates."

Looking at Bao Qin's pitiful appearance, Li Weijian immediately knew that this ghost girl was causing trouble again. He couldn't help but feel distracted at the moment, and after a while he smiled and said: "Well, then I won't leave today."

Bao Qin suddenly showed up, but then turned red with embarrassment and was speechless for a moment.

Little Luo and Little Toad in the outer compartment looked at each other and smiled. The two maids hurriedly rushed to fetch hot water, and Little Toad went forward to get Li Weijian's clothes.

After a lot of fuss, after waiting for Li Weijian to wash up, the two maids smiled and retreated, leaving Li Weijian and Bao Qin alone in the bedroom.

Li Weijian moved back into the bedroom and saw Bao Qin burying the quilt under her nose, looking at him timidly with a pair of smart eyes.

Li Weijian chuckled secretly, moved to the bed, lifted the quilt and got inside, then reached out and took Baoqin into his arms.

Bao Qin blushed with embarrassment and just murmured, "Fourth brother." Li Weijian responded, but just held him in his arms without any other movement.

Baoqin originally had other thoughts, but now he forgot all about them. He just snuggled into Li Weijian's arms, swaying like an insect, and found a comfortable position to lie in his arms for a long time. .

Li Weijian said: "Go to sleep, it's good to go to bed early." "Yeah."

............................................................

At the second watch, Wang Xifeng had just returned from the east courtyard to his small courtyard.

Because he and Jia Lian slept in a separate room, there was only one person lying on the bed inside. Wang Xifeng frowned and rubbed her sore shoulders and asked, "Is the Second Master back?"

Ping'er said: "I came back during the last watch." Ping'er hesitated to speak. After spreading the quilt, he came over and whispered: "Second Master told me, I'm afraid I'll have to spend more money this time."

Thinking of what happened last night, Wang Xifeng suppressed her anger and said, "What do you mean?"

Ping'er didn't know the inside story, so he just repeated: "Second Master said that everything has to be taken care of up and down. I'm afraid it won't be possible without three thousand taels of silver."

Wang Xifeng was filled with resentment, but because she had already despaired of Jia Lian, she now blamed Mrs. Wang. It's not his fault that he made trouble one after another. How could this incident of seizing the title create complications?

Secretly suppressing his anger, Wang Xifeng nodded and said, "Three thousand taels of silver is not much."

Ping'er took a look at Wang Xifeng and said, "Second Master also said that the reason why I bumped into the Chief of Prince Zhongshun today was because of the debt."

Wang Xifeng was annoyed: "This account is owed by the great master, so what does it have to do with me?"

Ping'er said: "The father's debt must be paid by the son... Now that the eldest master is gone, won't he be blamed by the second master? But this time the Changshi relaxed and did not ask for the 24,000 taels from Laoshizi. Just raise a capital of ten thousand taels."

Wang Xifeng heard this and sneered: "You have asked the wrong person for this kind of thing. These three thousand taels are enough. How can I have ten thousand taels? Let the second master go and find the old lady later."

Ping'er Weiwei agreed and then said, "Grandma, I went to Zhuangzi in Laiwang and said that I am afraid that production will be reduced this year."

Wang Xifeng suddenly asked with concern: "What kind of statement is this?"

Ping'er said: "Lai Wang only said that the fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse are sick, especially the cucumbers, which are only half grown. They are not short of water and fat, but they withered just because they were taller."

Wang Xifeng was immediately anxious, but couldn't think of anything for a moment. Suddenly, her heart moved. She was still in her filial piety period, so she couldn't entertain Li Weijian with a banquet. This time it was an excuse.

Because it was Wang Xifeng, he said vaguely: "That's all, I'm afraid I have to ask Brother Jian about this matter. You go and talk to Brother Jian tomorrow. If Brother Jian is free, wait for him to take a bath and go to Zhuangzi together." Look. After all, you are making a living of 40,000 to 50,000 silver a year, so you can’t afford to neglect it.”

Ping'er never saw Sister Feng's expression, so he just nodded in agreement.

At present, Ping'er was waiting for Sister Feng to wash up and then they both went to bed. Sister Feng was about to fall asleep in a daze when she suddenly heard a noise outside.

Sister Feng suddenly woke up, and Ping'er on the soft couch also got up and hurriedly turned on the lamp. The master and servant listened briefly to the movement, and vaguely heard the words "walking away", so Sister Feng hurriedly sent Ping'er out to observe.

As soon as Ping'er put on her clothes, a woman came to knock on the door. Ping'er opened the door and let her in. The woman then said, "Second Grandma, it's not good, the east courtyard son is in trouble!"

At this moment, Wang Xifeng was dressing up. When he heard this, he frowned and said: "You are so good and you have never been looked after by anyone. Why did you leave?"

The mother-in-law shook her head and said she didn't know.

Sister Feng was fully dressed and hurriedly led Ping'er to the east courtyard. Entering the interior through the corner door, you can see the faint light of fire coming out of the main room, and maids and servants coming in and out, carrying buckets or basins.

By the time Sister Feng and Ping'er got closer, the fire had already been extinguished.

Sister Feng, with a cold face, called every woman over for questioning. One woman said: "Siqi should be taking care of us at this moment, but unfortunately there was no sign of Siqi just now. Maybe the wind blew down the candle, so I lit it." Curtained."

Sister Feng immediately shouted: "Where is Si Qi? Who has seen Si Qi?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person running towards him from afar. When he got close, he called out "Second Grandma" and bit his lower lip without saying a word.

Sister Feng took a look through the lantern and found that it was indeed Siqi.

Sister Feng's face was frosty and she asked, "You are such a poor little boy looking at the mourning hall. Where did you go to hang out?"

Si Qi murmured: "Back to Second Grandma, I had a bad stomach at night and went to the toilet in the back."

Sister Feng said, "I'm going to use the toilet. I wonder if I can find someone to take my place?"

Siqi just kept his head down and said nothing.

Sister Feng said with a cold face: "There are good food and drinks in the house. I'm afraid that slave Yangzi will treat himself as his master. You don't need to show off to me, and don't even think about asking for permission. I'll clean it up tomorrow morning." Bow and go out of the house by yourself, we can't keep an unruly maid like you in our house!"

"Second Grandma!"

Wang Shanbao's family wanted to say soft words, but Si Qi stopped him and said, "Grandma, there's no need to ask. It's my fault after all."

Wang Shanbao's family was anxious, and saw Siqi winking at him again and again, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips, and finally turned into a sigh.

The mourning hall was filled with water, which naturally caused unrest in the Jia family. No one except Jia Mu dared to disturb her. After a while, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang both came to the east courtyard.

After hearing what Sister Feng said, Mrs. Xing thought that Siqi was the granddaughter of Wang Shanbao's family, so she didn't say much. Mrs. Wang said with a cold face: "We can't keep such an unruly girl at home. Brother Feng handled her properly. I'll send her home early tomorrow morning!"

Mrs. Wang decided with one word, and the matter was settled. On the surface, Si Qi pretended to be panic, but in fact, he was secretly happy, thinking that he could escape from the Jia family.

Let's not mention how Sister Feng, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others dealt with the mourning hall for the moment, but they said that Siqi returned to Zhujinlou and did not disturb the two girls to welcome the spring. He packed his luggage on his own.

It was not until early the next morning that I found the second girl and told her the reason.

After hearing this, Yingchun felt as if he had been struck by thunder. He stood there for a long time and his eyes suddenly turned red. She had been living smoothly in the past two years. Except for Li Weijian, most of them had been protected by Si Qi. Now that Siqi is gone, where is there anyone to protect her?
Si Qi knew Yingchun's temperament, so he said, "Since you are reluctant to part with me, you might as well go to my wife and beg for mercy for me."

The second girl was soft-tempered and just cried: "My wife has already made the decision, and you were at fault first, so what's the use of me begging?"

Si Qi couldn't help but sneer in his heart, these two girls were indeed like this. I think she has tried her best to protect the second girl in the past two years, but in the end she can't get the second girl's sincerity. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid only Fourth Master Jian can make the second girl go to pieces, right?
Si Qi immediately sighed and said nothing. No matter what Yingchun tried to persuade her to stay, she only carried a small baggage and followed the two fierce-looking women out of Rongguo Mansion.

After coming out of the back door, Si Qi felt refreshed. No longer do you have to compromise in front of the second girl, no longer do you have to look at other people's faces every day. From now on, I can live freely in that small courtyard, buy two more maids to serve me, and be the master from now on!
Siqi came out of the back street and immediately called a rickshaw to go to the ten alleys.

As soon as the chess player moved forward, Wang Shanbao's family went looking for the peach red. They only heard about it and said that the eldest wife was reluctant to give the monthly money to several aunts and was planning to sell them all as soon as the law was passed. .

Because she mixed wine into Jia She's medicine that day, Tao Hong was uneasy for a long time, and now she has calmed down. Hearing Wang Shanbao's words, although he was doubtful, he thought to himself: I'm afraid staying in Rongguo Mansion is wasted. Look at Aunt Zhou next to Mrs. Wang, who is now living like a breathing dead person. What's the point? Interesting? It's better to take away the money and fly away, and maybe find someone you like to marry, and you can support your husband and raise your children in the future.

Because Taohong had packed up her belongings that day, she took advantage of the panic of re-arranging the mourning hall in the east courtyard, quietly came out from the corner door, then went around to the back door to trick the door, and disappeared in the blink of an eye after exiting the door.

It was not until later that Mrs. Xing and Sister Feng realized that Taohong had run away. Mrs.

Because she was convinced that Jia She was killed by Jia Lian by mistake, Mrs.

A gag order was issued, and Tao Hong was never mentioned in the family again, as if this person had never existed.

............................................................

Li Weijian had a lot of leisure this day. Due to the great victory in the Western Region, it would take a while for the court to dispose of the coin-minting machinery. Because Li Weijian returned home when he got married - he and Bao Qin slept in the same bed last night. Although there was nothing else, Li Weijian felt that the little girl was nostalgic for him when he got up early in the morning.

Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot, how could Li Weijian miss it?

Unexpectedly, just as they arrived at home, Hongyu came over to talk about Siqi and Taohong. That's all for the peach red, no matter whether it is to fly away or to climb a new branch, it is still away from the Jia family. It is expected that the matter of secretly mixing wine and murdering Jia She has been hidden.

On the other hand, Si Qi, Li Weijian had known that Si Qi was impatient, but he didn't expect that Si Qi would order the mourning hall and drive him out of Rongguo Mansion in just a few days... This was really impatient.

That's fine, this matter has come to an end. It is expected that in the future, people who want to dig it out will not be able to dig it out.

Together with Hongyu, they entered the Yimen of the east courtyard and immediately saw the Baoqin covering Qingwen's face with a cloth kerchief. Li Weijian said in surprise: "Why is sister Qin here too?"

Baoqin then smiled and said: "I sweated last night, and now I feel much lighter. I thought my fourth brother would be back soon, so I came over to take a look." As he spoke, he pointed to the cloth around his mouth and nose. The handkerchief said: "It's hard to pass on the illness to others, so I simply found a handkerchief to cover it up."

Qianxue suddenly said back and forth during the conversation: "Master, Miss Ping'er is here."

Li Weijian stopped and looked back, and saw Ping'er stepping forward, bending down and saying, "Fourth Master Jian, grandma sent me to talk to Fourth Master Jian about something."

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Miss Ping'er, there's no need to be polite, let's talk among ourselves."

When everyone entered, Fu Qiufang asked Ping'er to take a seat. Ping'er smiled and refused, "It's just a matter of a few words. I have to go back when the words are brought." After a pause, he smiled. He said to Li Weijian: "Four Master Jian, yesterday I came to Wang and said that many fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse had withered just after they were hung. I asked a few knowledgeable people and they all said that they were sick after sitting down." Send me to ask Fourth Master for advice."

Just as Li Weijian was thinking about it, Hongyu smiled and said, "Miss Ping, it's not me. People outside say that the Fourth Master is the God of Wealth, but the Second Mistress takes it seriously. No matter how capable the Fourth Master is, he can still cure fruit-vegetable syndrome." Is your illness bad?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Weijian laughed and said, "I'll teach you to be a good boy now, so you won't be able to talk too much in the future. If this is some other problem, I really can't do anything about it, but this blight, sir, I really have an idea." ”

The little fan girl Bao Qin was immediately surprised and said: "Does Fourth Brother even understand this?"

Hongyu was also puzzled and said: "Fourth Master still has such ability?"

In his previous life, Li Weijian struggled first and then fell flat. Later, because his parents were in poor health, he simply took his two elders with him. The two elders were not familiar with the place and they were really bored at home, so they simply played with and served various fruits and vegetables. Especially Li Weijian's father. For a long time, the old man went to the library to read books and learned grafting techniques. After all the hard work, the old man actually came up with it, which made Li Weijian quite surprised.

For this reason, although Li Weijian had never done it himself, he had seen how the old man played with grafting.

Thinking of this, Li Weijian said to Ping'er: "I can't explain this method in one or two sentences. In this way... I will stop bathing in three days and just go to Zhuangzi."

Ping'er agreed with a smile, asked a few more questions about Fu Qiufang's situation, and then hurried back to Rongguo Mansion. When she had time to talk to Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng was secretly overjoyed.

Sister Feng's face didn't show any signs of it, she just said: "I have many brothers, I am a landlord, so I always go over to take a look and keep company."

Ping'er didn't doubt that he was there, and thought about it: "Tomorrow will be the first seven days, and there is nothing else to do after we have dealt with it. Grandma can take a break."

Wang Xifeng secretly thought that it would be difficult to bring Ping'er with her this time, so she said casually: "There are a lot of chores at home, and we can't help but have someone to take care of them. You can't go with me this time, why don't you stay at home and make an idea."

Ping'er naturally agreed and talked about some chores before leaving.

Without further ado, the day has arrived in a blink of an eye.

Li Weijian had just come out of his home at the end of the day. When he walked to the street, he bumped into Wang Xifeng's bicycle. He immediately said hello and formed a group. They came out of the inner city and then out of the outer city and went straight to Xiaowangzhuang.

In the carriage behind, Wang Xifeng was twisting her handkerchief and feeling very anxious. When the three thousand taels of silver were thrown out, there was no more gossip outside. Jia Lian could attack the prince only after the eldest master made the move.

Wang Xifeng made a plan in her heart, and the decree was revealed. The wife hated the old lady again, and she had everything going smoothly at home. Only one thing is missing - the child!
It is ultimately wrong to have no children. However, we still have to observe filial piety at this time, and Jia Lian is not short of fans, and when he is passionate about filial piety, he is looked at from above and below, so it is really not easy to have sex.
