Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 51: Drunk King's affair with Qin Si Qi Luozi three thousand miles away
Early in the morning.

Qingwen slowly woke up and felt a strange hand attached to her body.Qingwen thought for a moment and immediately blushed.

She is already at the age of thirteen, and she is gradually getting to know people and things. How can she not know what is going on?He turned over slightly, moved his arms in front of him, and turned around to see Li Weijian sleeping with even breathing.

Qingwen felt at ease, and her strange thoughts faded away. She looked at Li Weijian carefully, looking at the long eyelashes that looked like a girl's, and suddenly she felt joking.She picked a strand of hair and gently played with it on Li Weijian's cheek. She looked at him frowning and turning his head, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

His eyelids trembled, Li Weijian opened his eyes and saw Qingwen holding a lock of hair and laughing non-stop.

Li Weijian rubbed his cheek, then reached out and scratched the itchy flesh on Qingwen's waist. Qingwen rolled back and forth with joy and said breathlessly: "Fourth...Fourth Master, please spare me this time. I won’t dare to do it again!”

Li Weijian let go, stretched out his body, sat up and said with a smile: "If you make trouble next time, watch your skin carefully! Master, I learned a unique skill in Maoshan, called the Sunflower Acupuncture Pointing Hand. If you tap with one finger, you will laugh for three days and three days." I won’t give up until night.”

Qingwen couldn't stop laughing: "Fourth Master is talking nonsense again, how can there be such a finger? Geez, even though Fourth Master is always naughty, he always looks like he is much older than us. Just now he looked at Cai Just like us."

Li Weijian reached out and moved Qingwen's already messy bun into a bird's nest.But she secretly thought in her heart that Qingwen had never regarded herself as a slave, nor had she regarded Li Weijian as her master, but only as a companion who had grown up together.

If it were another master, he would definitely not like such a maid who has no respect for others. Although Baoyu was happy, he did not take the responsibility and could not protect Qingwen, which made the little girl like a flower cry that night. One night, my mother died miserably.

Now that Qingwen is by his side, he will always protect flowers like this.

After having fun for a while, Li Weijian simply got out of bed and looked for his shorts.

Qingwen asked: "Fourth master, are you going to practice again today?"

"If you don't practice handicrafts for one day, you will be born. If you don't practice for seven or eight days, your body will become stiff if you continue like this."

Qingwen only put on her middle coat, found a short jacket and helped Li Weijian put it on, and then she washed and dressed herself.

The water company matter will need to ferment for some time, and the government will also need ten days or half a month to select a well location and build water pumps and other equipment.

As for the artillery range table, Li Weijian has roughly calculated it.Nowadays, black powder artillery is still front-loaded. The smallest unit of black powder consumption is money, and the error in the amount of powder is not small. It is useless no matter how careful Li Weijian calculates. A rough calculation that is more accurate than Qin Tianjian is enough.

Therefore, he felt at ease that day and returned to the same situation as when he first arrived in the capital.First, I sparred with the silly girl Xiu Ying for most of an hour, washed myself and had breakfast. After breakfast, I went into the study to write and draw.

Just as he entered the study, Li Weijian remembered something.He nodded at Xiu Ying and agreed to her one day off with a smile.

"Huh?" Xiu Ying said confusedly: "Young master just gave me a holiday, and I don't know where to go. Why don't you stay in the small courtyard?"

"Stupid! Don't you want to go and see your sister-in-law?"

"Ah?" Xiu Ying's expression changed: "Where did you come from, sister-in-law? Uh... Young Master, you mean... my brother?"

Li Weijian smiled and nodded, and Xiu Ying immediately raised her eyebrows: "No, I have to take a look to prevent my brother from being coaxed!"

Li Weijian laughed secretly, thinking that Xiu Ying was a fool herself, and she still wanted to look at her for Wu Haiping?

But in the east courtyard, Mrs. Xing thought about it all night, and discussed it with the elder Jia She early in the morning. When the old lady set the rules with her son, Mrs. Xing said: "Old lady, the second girl is getting older now. Now, if we can’t squeeze together with the sisters anymore, why don’t we take him back to the east courtyard and raise him?”

Mother Jia was puzzled and glanced at Mrs. Xing.She had always disliked the daughter-in-law who was resuming her marriage. She was from a small family, and she behaved like a small family, and she was always scheming.

Earlier, Mrs. Xing had never cared about the second girl to celebrate the Spring Festival, but now she suddenly mentioned that she wanted to take her back. She was afraid that she had some other plans.Because it was Jia Mu, she was silent and speechless.

Then I heard Mrs.

At this time, marriage was dictated by the parents and the matchmaker. Although Jia's mother was the second girl's grandmother, it was not easy for her to get involved.

So Jia Mu looked at Yingchun: "Yingchun, what do you think?"

As long as Yingchun makes an excuse, Jia Mu can keep him.However, the second girl has a gentle temperament, and she is the most submissive, so she only said: "I listen to my grandmother and the eldest lady."

Mrs. When the second girl gets married in the future, no one will say anything about our family's lack of rules."

Now that things have come to this, Yingchun has not refused, so Jia Mu sighs: "That's fine, let's go back to nurse him for a while. We'll see what happens before we take him back."

Mrs. Xing succeeded and was immediately elated.

After breakfast, several maids packed up the packages, and Mrs. Xing affectionately took the two girls back to Dongkua Yard to welcome the Spring Festival.

After the arrangements were completed, Mrs. Xing called the two girls to welcome the spring and talk.

Mrs. What?"

Yingchun, who was hanging her head, suddenly blushed and said, "What are you talking about, Madam? I...I'm not that unruly."

It was a good thing that she didn't defend herself. Just after she spoke, Siqi, who was behind her, said: "Madam, the second girl can't see her husband. She only sees Fourth Master Jian twice. I asked the second girl a few days ago, and the second girl felt the same way. I agree."

"You...don't talk nonsense..." Yingchun was anxious.

But Mrs. I'm thinking of recruiting brother Jian as my son-in-law. If you don't object, the master and I will take care of it."

Yingchun felt ashamed and happy at the same time, and suddenly became silent.

Mrs. , it will happen naturally."

It was like a dull gourd welcoming the spring, just hanging his head and not saying a word.

Si Qi said: "Madam, the girl just had her vaginal surgery a few days ago. The style is correct. Why don't you send it to Fourth Master Jian?" "Okay, okay, then what are you waiting for? Go quickly, go quickly." !”

Si Qi responded without a word, turned around and walked away quickly, leaving the second girl Yingchun in a state of embarrassment.

Siqi went to the side room to look for the lace that had been made during the Spring Festival, and happily headed all the way to the small courtyard in the northeast to look for it.

I thought to myself that with the second girl's cotton-like temperament and the eldest wife's control, this matter would probably be done.Si Qi suddenly started breathing heavily when he thought of serving a man like Fourth Master Jian in two years.

When they arrived at the small courtyard, they announced the door and Hongyu came out in a moment.

Seeing Siqi coming again, Hongyu suddenly lost her temper: "Why are you here again?"

Siqi was thinking about following the second girl to Li Weijian in the future, but now he was dissatisfied, so how could he dare to offend Hongyu?Because he smiled and said: "Miss Hongyu, I am here for our second daughter. Is the fourth master in the house?"

Hongyu glanced suspiciously and said, "Don't use the second girl as a shield to embarrass the Fourth Master for the sake of Nao Shizi's cousin."

"How could this happen? If I don't mean what I say, the security guard will turn around and let Lei kill me."

Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Just follow me."

Hong Yu went inside first to report, and after receiving permission, she led Si Qi inside.

Siqi walked around the screen and entered the inner room. He saw the tall figure in the study who had just put down his pen and ink and was about to walk out slowly.I secretly thought to myself that Fourth Master Jian was indeed well-born. He was just as good as his cousin, but he also had the bookish air of a scholar.

With a pounding in his heart, Si Qi hurriedly bowed and said Wanfu: "Fourth Master, my second daughter is grateful for the gift that Fourth Master gave me earlier. It just happened that she had been pregnant in the past two days, so she asked me to give it to Fourth Master. "

While speaking, she offered the Luozi and took a deep look at Li Weijian.

Li Weijian smiled, hesitated for a moment, and motioned to Qingwen beside him to take the Luozi.After pondering for a while, he just said: "Second sister is interested. You can go back and thank her for me."

"Hey, the Fourth Master is busy, I'm going back." Si Qi walked away quickly.

The main room suddenly became cold.That Qingwen had the most explosive temper. When she saw Si Qi leaving the courtyard, she followed up and said, "How can you give someone away for nothing? Is this Si Qi pretending to pass on the imperial edict and want to be a matchmaker?"

No wonder Qingwen said this. At this time, men and women are on guard, and objects, especially personal objects like Luo Zi, are not given casually.

Once given, it means a soft spot.That's why Li Weijian didn't dare to take action just now.

Hongyu thought about how she had been choked by Qingwen because of playing chess, and she might have complained about it in the fourth master's heart, so she said: "The second girl seems to be a good person, but she has a meek temper. The eldest master and the eldest wife... ...Fourth Master should think more carefully."

Li Weijian smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? Maybe the second sister didn't think too much about it?"

Qingwen said: "Don't think too much about it. Fourth Master knows it in his heart. It's fine if he has something in mind."

After sleeping in the same bed twice, Qingwen thought that she understood each other's feelings. No matter who she married in the future, the Fourth Master would always promise her a future.So after saying that, he twisted the water snake's waist and went to clean it up.

Unlike Qingwen, Hongyu was in trouble at the moment, feeling anxious but not knowing how to express it.But when she faced Li Weijian's smiling eyes, for some reason, Hongyu felt a little calmer.

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

Rikain.

Aunt Xue came back from the outside. After taking off her outer clothes, she seemed to have lost all her energy and energy, and her expression was gloomy.

I got a letter from Jinling a few days ago. My second uncle was seriously ill. Aunt Xue was happy and worried. She was about to send Xue Pan south. When I got a letter from Jinling the day before yesterday, it was my second uncle who passed away.

Baochai comforted her, and Aunt Xue made up her mind no matter how reluctant she was to give up.I went to the Neifu Yamen early this morning, and allowed the driver to look around and transfer the imperial businessman to his house.

Baochai came out to greet her and saw her mother looking sad, so she sat aside to accompany her.Aunt Xue came to her senses briefly, took Baochai's hand and said, "My son, our royal merchant... is gone."

Baochai's face was like a flat lake, and he had already thought clearly in his heart.Said: "Mom wants to be more liberal. With the second uncle gone, our family's imperial merchant will be even more unsafe. Xue Biao is still young, and the other houses... this imperial merchant will never fall to my brother. If he does, As soon as that caring person comes out, not only is he an imperial businessman, he is also afraid that his brother's life will be in danger. Now it is just a matter of losing money and avoiding disaster."

"What else can I do? Now I can only think about the brighter future."

Among the four great families in Jinling, the Xue family was originally the last one to accompany them. Now that they have even lost their foundation as an imperial merchant, they are afraid that they will never be mentioned together with the other three families in the future.

This imperial merchant had more than a dozen shops and exchanged a total of 8 taels of silver.It seems like a lot, but in fact, without the foundation of the imperial business, the other shops in the Xue family's mansion will be fine as long as they don't lose money.

This means that Aunt Xue's family will have to live on this mere 8 taels of silver from now on.

Aunt Xue didn't say anything more, she just looked at Baochai eagerly, her eyes full of expectation.Baochai's heart sank, knowing that her mother had placed all her thoughts on her.It's good if you can pass the small selection, but if you can't, you can only find a high branch to cling to as soon as possible, so as to take care of the Xue family.

"Mom, it's not appropriate for my brother's case to be pending all the time. We have to find a way to solve it... I heard in the past few days that Brother Dongfu Zhen got the advice of Fourth Brother Jian, so I put the matter aside. Come down."

"This..." Aunt Xue felt a little reluctant to let her daughter appear in public.There was still some resentment in her heart. It was not Li Weijian's fault that he reported to the government. How could the Xue family have suffered such a disaster?
But thinking about the eldest man Jia She who was jumping up and down, and the sarcastic Aunt Wang, Aunt Xue finally endured it: "My son, you have time to go and ask Brother Jian. No matter how much money you spend, you must keep it." It's your brother."

Baochai responded, her face still calm, but she secretly sighed in her heart.

It was also on this day that the case was finally decided.

Ni Er robbed during the day, deliberately hurt people, fought for a hundred, tattooed, and traveled for three thousand miles; the two green-skinned soldiers fought for a hundred, and served before the army; , only fought thirty; Pan You'an colluded with Qiang Liang to betray the master, fought a hundred, tattooed, and became a slave to the border army.

It was quite strange that a case had been debated for more than [-] days, but in the end it had nothing to do with the victim, Li Weijian.
