Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 45 Is Fourth Brother Jian going to get rich?
There is no airtight wall in this world.

In the morning, Yan Fengzhen and Zhou An came to visit Li Weijian, and by the afternoon everyone knew about it.

The servants, maids, and women were talking a lot, and the disciple who was familiar with Wu Haiping became the focus.

At this time, there were many servants and boys gathered around the corner door. The doorman squatted on the steps, with his hands in his sleeves. When he spoke, he sounded a little taller than usual, and said arrogantly: "Fourth Master Jian" , Tsk, the day this master came, I could see that he was extraordinary."

A boy said: "Brother Six, please tell me, why is he so extraordinary?"

The sixth brother of Menzi curled his lips and said: "Why is it extraordinary? Take a look around, are there any young masters carrying swords and bows in these days? Let's take Wu Haiping, who is following behind and carrying a big book box. What is this called? ? This is called having both civil and military skills. Throughout the ages, those who have both civil and military skills must be outstanding people.

Later, Uncle Xue from my concubine's house revealed the truth. This Fourth Master Jian was able to shoot down the thieves in Texas with a flurry of arrows.Not to mention getting fame early, even if he didn't have fame, he would have been a hero like Marshal Qi in the previous dynasty. "

A servant then echoed: "That's exactly what you said. I heard from the people in the street that every day, the fourth master of Jia Jian gets up at dawn, first practices boxing and kicking, and then grabs a knife and fights with the maid, day after day. Tsk tsk, that's it. How can you see tenacity in ordinary people?"

The disciple said: "That's it. Fourth Master Jian's uncle is Li Jijiu of the Imperial Academy. I heard from Wu Haiping that Fourth Master Jian visited two houses that day after taking Li Jijiu's post. One is the Young Master Kou Yan, and the other is the Great Master Sikong Gu... Tsk tsk, guess what? These two adults immediately fell in love with Fourth Master Jian."

"Hey, if you don't say that Fourth Master Jian is awesome."

The sixth brother of Menzi said: "More than just being powerful? My Fourth Master Jian is always very kind." As he spoke, he put out his hand and pointed blankly: "You, you, and you. My Fourth Master Jian is very good at guarding the stables." Rewarded. He is so capable and kind-hearted, so he will be appreciated by people for being a thrifty man."

The few servants who had benefited immediately burst into laughter.In just ten days, everyone got a few coins, which was worth less than half a month's monthly coins.

Sixth Brother paused and said, "So, it's not unusual for the Palace Chief to come to our door. Just wait and see, maybe Fourth Master Jian will get the imperial edict in the future."

A group of people agreed one after another, and someone said: "Earlier, there was a message in Yimen, saying that I wanted to give Fourth Master Jian a good look. A few days later, there was another message in Yimen, saying that I would serve him well. Tsk tsk...it's a good thing that I was careful, otherwise I would have been just like Pan You'an, locked in the Hell Temple and unable to get out.

I heard that Pan An was beaten again. Not to mention, he fell seriously ill a few days ago and almost died. "

Brother Menzi's sixth brother said disdainfully: "Pan You'an can't tell the difference between facial features and facial features, so we can't learn from him. In the future, when Fourth Master Jian takes good care of him, it will definitely benefit us."

"Brother Six is ​​right."

At this moment, Sixth Brother suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure approaching through the cracks in the crowd. He quickly stood up, nodded and bowed and said, "Hey, manager."

Everyone turned around and saw a sullen Lai Da walking over at some point.

Na Laida scolded: "What are you all gathering here for? Let's disperse and go and do our own thing."

The servants and others immediately turned into birds and beasts and dispersed, leaving only Lai Da frowning.

He originally thought that Li Weijian was just a poor relative who could not be beaten by eight poles, and the eldest grandmother Li Wan was not a powerful person, so he listened to everyone's gossip and secretly instructed Mingyan to lead Baoyu to the room named Li. Take a walk.According to Mr. Bao's temperament, he will definitely want to get a good woman into the house when he sees her. In this way, Qingwen can be sent to Mr. Bao.

But he never thought that in just a few days, the man surnamed Li would make friends with such a luxurious person, and now even Shi Zhou An, the chief minister of Prince Zhongshun, came to visit the patient.

He thought secretly for a while. At his age, Mr. Bao probably wouldn't be able to see through the details, and he could pick it out even if a fight broke out.

So he relaxed his brows, thinking that he might as well take another look.If that person named Li is indeed a person, then he will not be easily provoked in the future.

There are different opinions about the external servants, let’s not mention them for now.

The elder Jia She originally thought that after Zhou An left, he would recruit Li Weijian to ask questions.However, the old man recently got a sum of money, so he spent thousands of taels of silver to find a banker to come back.

Not to mention the outstanding appearance of the Qing court lady, the most wonderful thing is that she knows the joy of the boudoir.As soon as Jia Shefu returned to his small courtyard, he couldn't bear it any longer and went looking for the poor man, but he forgot all about it for the time being.

At the same time, the news spread into the inner house as if it had grown legs.

Jia Mu went to her room. Just after noon, Li Wan came with Sanchun and Daiyu.Xiangyun, on the other hand, returned to Baolinghou Mansion early yesterday morning.

Daiyu and Sanchun chatted with Jia Mu for a while, and Tanchun suddenly said: "Grandma, I just got a message saying that a long-time official from the palace came to look for fourth brother Jian."

"Chief of the Royal Palace? Which family?"

Tanchun shook his head, and Jia Mu looked at the eldest maid Yuanyang.

Yuanyang said: "The old lady is Zhou An, the chief minister of Prince Zhongshun. She handed over the post a while ago, sat with the eldest gentleman for a while, and then went to Fourth Master Jian's small courtyard."

"Prince Zhongshun?" Jia Mu suddenly frowned.

In the battle for the heir apparent, the Jia family initially supported the deposed prince.Later, when the deposed prince got into trouble, the Jia family no longer dared to place a bet easily. King Zhongshun tried to make friends with him several times, but the Jia family vaguely deceived him.

Therefore, in the past ten years, the Jia family and Prince Zhongshun's palace have never had any contact.Jia's mother even secretly thought that it was Jin Shang who was wrong about Yu Ji. If it had been King Zhongshun, he would have been afraid that the Jia family would have been destroyed long ago.

King Zhongshun was afraid that he had a grudge against the Jia family. Why did he abandon the past and come to look for Li Weijian?
Because Jia Mu then said: "Our family has no history with Prince Zhongshun's Palace. Since we are here to find Brother Jian, could it be that Brother Jian took a chance on Prince Zhongshun's Palace?"

Although Li Wan, who was sitting next to him, didn't know the details, he could tell that Jia Mu was dissatisfied, so she hurriedly said, "Brother Jian has never mentioned it. How about asking your descendants and my wife?"

Jia Mu nodded and said, "It's okay to ask. If there is any misunderstanding, you can ask me to help cover it up."

Li Wan agreed, but he couldn't stand up and leave immediately, so he had to point his finger at Su Yun, give some instructions, and order Su Yun to go and inquire about it.

Su Yun left quietly, and Li Wan sat quietly, with a frown on his face, and he was always worried about Li Weijian in his heart.

The Li family originated from Li Xiangzhong, a Jinshi scholar in the 13th year of Chongzhen reign of the former Ming Dynasty, and his ancestral home was Zhongxiang County, Huguang.Li Xiangzhong was first the magistrate of the county. When Taizu of this dynasty invaded the capital, he gathered troops for training.Later, he served as King of Lu and King of Tang, and he rose to the rank of Minister of War. He would rather die than lose the money after defeat, and died heroically for his country.

After the current dynasty was cleansed of the chaos, Li Xiangzhong's descendants were divided into two groups, one moved to the capital, and the other lived in Jinling.It was not until Li Shouzhong's generation that these two groups recognized their ancestors.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened and there was a great epidemic in the capital. As a result, only Brother Jian was left in the Li family's capital branch.At that time, Li Wan had already been engaged and was waiting in the boudoir to get married. He watched the servants carrying Brother Jian in, and the doctors who invited him all said that they would leave it to fate and they really didn't dare to vouch for it.

His father Li Shouzhong sighed, so Li Wan took care of him and took care of him. It took a long time before brother Jian finally came back to life.

In the following year, Brother Jian seemed to have changed as a person. He smiled and smiled at everyone but did not get close to him. He only treated Li Wan with his sincerity.

Li Wan only had two brothers with different mothers above him, and no younger siblings below him.After getting along for a year, Li Wan already regarded Li Weijian as his own brother, so he was afraid that Li Weijian would get involved in right and wrong again.After a long while, Su Yun returned quickly, leaned over and talked in his ear for a long time, and then Li Wan relieved the sadness between his brows.

Taking advantage of the gap, Li Wan smiled and said: "Old lady, my granddaughter-in-law just asked someone to ask Brother Jian."

"Oh? What did Brother Jian say?"

Li Wan smiled and said, "Brother Jian said that he had made a good deal, and Prince Zhongshun was so happy that he came to discuss a partnership."

Jia Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The reputation of Prince Zhongshun is not very good. Please turn around and tell Brother Jian to be more careful. If you don't have to deal with it, try to avoid it. Getting into trouble is no joke."

Li Wan smiled and said: "What the old lady said is that Brother Jian also thinks in this way."

Jia Mu nodded and said nothing else.

Sanchun and Daiyu heard clearly, Daiyu didn't care in her heart, Yingchun cared but was too shy to speak, Xichun didn't listen at all, only Tanchun listened and said: "Sister-in-law, what kind of business is Fourth Brother Jian doing?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "Su Yun didn't ask much just now, but Su Yun said Brother Jian was steadfast in his promise. I guess it's a good deal, right?"

Tanchun suddenly became happy, clasped his hands and said, "So, fourth brother Jian is going to get rich?"

Mother Jia couldn't help but interrupt: "The scientific examination is the right thing to do. Qiu Wei only lasts for half a year. Brother Jian still has to concentrate on his studies."

Li Wan nodded, his smile gradually fading away.What the old lady said was right. She was also worried that Li Weijian was putting the cart before the horse and was so focused on his business that he forgot about Qiu Wei.

After all, in this season, "everything is of inferior quality, only reading is of high quality".

She secretly thought that she would have to find time to ask Brother Jian for a few words.

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

Go to the small courtyard in the northeast.

There are different opinions outside, but Li Weijian is ignoring it now.I was feeling groggy all day yesterday, but I feel a little better today.My forehead was still hot, but at least I wasn't as groggy anymore.

He forced himself to eat a lot. After the allicin was brewed, he drank a small cup, and then he grinned at the taste, which made several maids laugh.

His throat started to feel itchy, so he simply stopped talking and just listened to the chatter of a few maids.

Xiangling has always been quiet and rarely speaks.Most of the talk was made by Qingwen and Hongyu, with the silly girl Xiu Ying only getting involved occasionally.

It happened that Qingwen and Hongyu couldn't deal with each other, and they would choke after talking for a while.At this time, Hongyu would glance at Li Weijian, then turn to talk about other things, and never quarrel with Qingwen again.

Li Weijian looked at it with a smile, thinking that Hong Yu was indeed thoughtful.

After the first watch, Xiang Ling and Hong Yu returned to the west wing. Qingwen spread out the quilt early, and Li Weijian covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep.

Although allicin has certain antibiotic effects, it can neither reduce fever nor eliminate viruses.In the middle of the night, Li Weijian's fever returned, accompanied by two coughs from time to time.

Xiuying slept soundly, and the sound of coughing only woke Qingwen up.

The little girl stood up with a rustle, pulled her shoes to the bed, reached out and touched Li Weijian's forehead, and suddenly felt extremely hot.

In the haziness, she saw Li Weijian wrapped tightly in quilt. Qingwen tiptoed to add hoarfrost charcoal to the smoker. She turned around and heard Li Weijian coughing violently, and went to the hall to find honey and pear sugar.

Arriving at the bedside, Qingwen called softly twice: "Fourth Master...Fourth Master?"

Li Weijian woke up slowly and looked at Qingwen with curiosity.

Qingwen said: "Fourth Master has a bad cough. Take a spoonful of honey and pear sugar to suppress it."

Li Weijian complied, forced himself up, lifted the cloth kerchief, opened his mouth and swallowed the honey pear candy fed by Qingwen.The honey moistened his throat and his coughing stopped slightly. Li Weijian put on the cloth handkerchief again and hurriedly got into bed.

Qingwen couldn't help but said: "Fourth Master has caught wind and cold and has difficulty breathing. It's better to take off this veil."

Li Weijian only said vaguely: "You don't understand... If I pick it off, you will be over the disease."

Qingwen pursed her lips secretly and saw Li Weijian shivering coldly. She turned around and looked for Mrs. Tang who was placed on the smoker. She first stuffed her into the quilt to warm Li Weijian's feet, then simply lifted the quilt and came over.

"you--"

"Fourth Master, please go to bed early. Fourth Master will have to go out early tomorrow morning."

Qingwen said quickly, and then stiffly came over, her body close to Li Weijian.

Li Weijian was moved in his heart, but for a moment he didn't have any other thoughts, he only felt warmth surging in his heart.How easy is it to get someone's selfless intentions?
Qingwen's heart is as high as the sky, the girl has a young body and a bad temper, and she is used to offending people... Lin Lin has a lot of little problems, but what's the problem?For this reason alone, Li Weijian would always give Qingwen a future!
Qingwen was a little stiff in his arms, so Li Weijian simply reached out to hold her in his arms and said in a muffled voice: "Well, let's sleep."

The night is as cold as water and the north wind is howling.

The body in his arms gradually relaxed, and suddenly a murmur came: "Mother..."

Li Weijian reached out and patted Qingwen's shoulder gently. Qingwen turned around and curled up in his arms like a baby swallow in the forest.

Li Weijian couldn't help but laugh in her heart, thinking to herself that she was still a little girl after all. She usually showed her teeth and claws as if she was covered in thorns, but it was only when she fell asleep that she showed her uneasiness, right?

Silent night, dawn in the blink of an eye.

Xiu Ying woke up early and saw two people hugging each other on the bed when she got up.Xiu Ying blinked, feeling that she must not have woken up yet, so she rubbed her eyes vigorously, then froze, and then her cheeks swelled like steamed buns.

She was obviously the first to follow the young master, why did Qingwen get the first one?
She was depressed, so she put on her clothes haphazardly, and went out to the courtyard to throw darts as if to vent her anger.So the 'duoduo' sound in the small courtyard never stopped...
