Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 63: The big boss pulls the strings, Li Weijian reveals the mystery

Is the eldest master Jia She looking for me?
Li Weijian's face was rosy now, but most of his alcoholism had already faded.He secretly wondered, could it be that Jia She felt that he and Yingchun were in love, so he came to press him now?
Is it too hasty?
Puzzled in her heart, Qingwen on the side suddenly put down the banknotes in her hand and let out a long breath: "Fourth Master, the calculation is clear. Rishengchang's banknotes total 9 taels, which is a lot."

"Well, just figure it out clearly." Li Weijian responded casually.

Since Qingwen was appointed to be in charge of the financial affairs of the house, Qiao Qingwen was busy at home every day. She had to weigh money with a spoon, learn arithmetic, and find time to read and read. She worked much harder than before.

But Qingwen enjoyed it, always feeling that this was Fourth Master Jian's trust in her.

Seeing Li Weijian being so casual, Qingwen frowned and said, "Fourth Master, you have to find a suitable place to hide it... This is 9 taels of silver."

Li Weijian came back to his senses and smiled at Qingwen: "Just keep watch. I can trust you, sir."

It happened that Hongyu had sent Baochai back, so he ordered Hongyu to accompany him and walked towards the east across the courtyard.

Qingwen suddenly felt restless with a sullen face. She hid the box in the study for a while, thinking it was inappropriate, and then hid it in the Nuan Pavilion, but it was still inappropriate. In the end, she could only hold it in her arms and called Xiu Yingshou. In front of the door, no one is allowed in.

But in the study room of Dongkuaoyuan, the eldest master Jia She and Dama Jindao were sitting, with a rosy complexion and a strong sense of alcohol.

There were some miscellaneous matters in the Yamen that day. The eldest master, Jia She, was a little late in leaving the Yamen. He came out of the Yamen just before the end of the day.

As a result, he was stopped on the way back.That person was none other than Cao Yunsheng, a member of Taigu.

The accountant sent a greeting note, saying that Cao Dong's family had prepared a banquet in Jinxiang Courtyard, and asked the eldest master, Jia She, to show his respect for a while.

Jia She glanced at the name card and was immediately moved.This Cao family is a wealthy man from Taigu. The Sunshine Coupon Bank under his name has opened all over the north. They are extremely rich!
Moreover, Jia She had just purchased shares in the water company a few days ago, and he was currently very strapped for money. How could he not be moved when he heard that the banquet was held at the Jinxiang Courtyard?

At that moment, the carriage turned around and headed straight for Jinxiang Courtyard.Afterwards, the banquet was enjoyable, and Cao Yunsheng ordered a few more popular fans to accompany him. The eldest master, Jia She, changed the glasses, and soon he was half drunk.

Seeing that the time had come, Cao Yunsheng asked Jia She to introduce Li Weijian on his behalf.The eldest master, Jia She, figured it out, and Cao Yunsheng immediately presented him with 1000 taels of silver notes.So the elder agreed without any hesitation, and took Cao Yunsheng to cut off the chicken head, burn the yellow paper, and worship him as a brother on the spot.

Immediately, he turned east across the courtyard and drank a cup of sobering soup. The elder Jia She sobered up a little and smacked his lips, feeling that he had agreed too quickly.If he had been more careful, he might have lost his money even if he was named Cao.

But there is nothing to regret, as Li Weijian is now a living god of wealth.After such an incident, countless people asked him for an introduction.

It doesn’t take much, just ten or eight. Wouldn’t the expenses and expenses for the past two years be adequate?

The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it became. When Li Weijian entered the study, the elder Jia She immediately looked at Li Weijian and became more pleased with him.

"My dear nephew, please sit down quickly."

Li Weijian smiled and greeted Jia She. The two of them took their seats respectively. Jia She greeted him hurriedly: "Hurry up and bring the tea. If you let me know who neglected Brother Jian in the future, don't blame me for being merciless."

The maid agreed and brought a cup of tea in a moment.

Li Weijian picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "Master..."

"Eh?" Jia She frowned and said, "A good nephew is too unconventional. Although your uncle and I don't have much contact, we are still friends. From now on, you can just call me uncle."

Li Weijian became more and more puzzled, and finally called him 'Uncle Shi' and asked, "Uncle Shi called my nephew over, but is there something wrong?"

Jia She put down the tea cup and thought for a while and said: "Hey, it's my fault that I usually go out for a long time, and someone came to my door with a roundabout request. That person insisted on seeing my nephew. This past friendship is not good. Why don’t this...nephew, for the sake of my face, meet the man named Cao?"

It turned out that Cao Yunsheng approached Jia She.

Li Weijian was determined in his heart and frowned slightly at the moment and said: "Cao Yunsheng? This... To be honest, Cao Yunsheng blocked the road in the street yesterday and insisted on meeting me. Uncle Shi also knows that the shares of the water company are all saints. It's not good for a minister to turn around and make a profit.

In the past, the nobles of each family were related to each other, so they changed hands. I think a saint can understand it.If this is resold to merchants..."

"Eh?" Jia She consoled him: "The nephew also said that this matter is due to the grace of the saint. Since this stock is promised to the nephew, let the nephew make the decision. The nephew has a full [-]% of the stock, which is really too much. It’s eye-catching, so why don’t you sell some of it and leave it, leaving only a small amount, so that the outside world will be less wary.”

Um?Jia She could really find out the lies, but he didn't know what benefits Cao Yunsheng promised.

Li Weijian pretended to think about it, but finally nodded and said: "Since uncle Shi said this, there is always some truth...then...my nephew will make an exception?"

"Hey, that's right." Jia She thought in his mind, thinking that Cao Yunsheng would give him a sum of money after he succeeded.He opened his mouth and said: "But my nephew, although this person was introduced through my way, my nephew still has to control this business. The stock can be sold for as much money as it deserves. It won't look good on my face." Suffered a loss."

In the mind of the elder Jia She, Li Weijian was at least [-]% as good as him. How could he take advantage of outsiders?
Li Weijian agreed repeatedly.The two drank Huizi tea, and Li Weijian said he was a little hungover, so he left.

Returning to her small courtyard, when she entered the door, she saw Xiu Ying guarding the door with a knife handle. Inside, Qingwen was hiding in the warm pavilion, holding a box with banknotes in her hand.

Li Weijian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After much persuasion, Qingwen reluctantly let go.She asked Li Weijian to find a suitable ticket number and deposit it tomorrow.

Although Qingwen cares about money, she is not a miser. Seeing so many banknotes at once made the little girl dizzy, and she lost her balance.

At this time, Li Weijian's drunkenness had completely faded. He called Hong Yu and said, "There is something that you must tell eldest sister."

At that moment, he briefly explained the errands of the female teacher in Prince Zhongyong's palace, and then sent Hongyu to the inner house to find Li Wan to relay the story.

It was getting late. Although Jia Mu said that Li Weijian was not considered a foreigner, he still had to avoid taboos.

But he said that Hongyu could go out to the northeast and go to the small courtyard. Enter the east courtyard and pass through the east corner gate. After walking not long, he arrived at Li Wan's residence.

It was late at this moment, and Li Wan went to wait on Jia's mother.Hongyu waited for a while with the maid who stayed behind, and then saw Li Wan, Suyun and Biyue return.

"Grandma," Hongyu greeted with a smile, "This is what Fourth Master sent me to tell Grandma."

"Hongyu," Li Wan greeted with a smile: "There are no outsiders here, please sit down and talk."

Where can Hong Yu dare?He just said: "We haven't said a few words together. I told you that when grandma makes up her mind, I will go back and reply."

Hongyu spoke eloquently and told about the teacher in the palace, which made Li Wan feel surprised for a while: "Female sir? Me? This...I'm afraid this is not appropriate. How can I, a widow, show up in public?" "Hongyu said: "Grandma, our Fourth Master said that the one who is teaching is the princess, and I don't want to see the foreign men around me. I will go and not come back in time. I only need to teach the princess's female studies and some poetry. That's all for songs and stuff.

The fourth master said that the eldest grandma had a reputation for talent when she was in the boudoir. It is a pity to waste it like this.And since we come and go every day, grandma takes the opportunity to walk around, which is better than being trapped in the house and thinking randomly. "

Li Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said angrily: "Brother Jian is really promising, but now he wants to talk to me!"

Even though she said this, she felt very happy in her heart.Li Wan was a smart man. Although his father Li Shouzhong did not let him study more, she watched him in private.Especially the history books, looking at it, where in the world can there be wealth that has not declined?
The Jia family had previously stood in line to dethrone the crown prince, and then they were involved in the Chengtianmen incident. They were already in a period of prosperity and decline.

After Jia Zhu passed away, Li Wan devoted himself to planning for his son Jia Lan, and he was like a brave man who could only get in and out.

But a few days ago, Li Weijian pushed over the transferred shares and earned nearly 2000 taels of interest per month!With this money, even if the Jia family falls, she and Jia Lan can live on.

Because in the past few days, Li Wan also tried to save some money and ordered some delicious food for his son Jia Lan, so his mood was no longer as heavy as before.

Now, Brother Jian is worried that she will be depressed while trapped in the mansion all day long, so he has found a job as a teacher in the palace.

Warmth surged in my heart, and I was filled with emotions. In the end, there was only one sentence left: Brother Jian has grown up.

There was always a friendship, and the time coincided with Jia Lan's school time, which made Li Wan feel moved.

After thinking for a while, he said: "It's hard for Brother Jian to plan for me, but as my widow is unemployed, I have to get permission from the old lady to enter or leave the mansion."

Hongyu smiled and said: "Grandma, our Fourth Master has already thought about it. He said that as long as Grandma nods, then the Fourth Master will go to the old lady to ask for help, and he will always agree with Grandma's wishes."

After Hongyu said that, she looked at Suyun and Biyue beside Li Wan.

Suyun thought that Li Wan was going here with honor, and said: "Grandma, Fourth Master Jian has said so. I think you should agree first."

Biyue had Li Wan's best interests at heart and said, "Grandma, it's always good to go out and relax every day."

Seeing the two maids saying this, Li Wan said angrily: "I've never seen you two have any ideas, so why do you agree with what Brother Jian says? I'll see, I might as well send you to serve Brother Jian. .”

Su Yun was displeased, but Bi Yue blushed.

Hong Yu looked at it with a smile, but there was a thump in her heart.I secretly thought that now the fourth master has Qingwen and Xiangling in front of her. If Biyue comes again, how can she still get ahead?
Fortunately, Li Wan just gave a naughty smile and then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, go tell Brother Jian and I will nod. Whether he can pass the old lady's test depends on what he says in the future. Mouth."

Hongyu said happily: "Hey, I'll go and answer the question right now. Grandma, rest now, I'm leaving." With a blessing, Hongyu hurriedly returned.

When they got to the northeast, they went to the small courtyard to talk to Li Weijian. After hearing that Li Wan agreed, Li Weijian smiled and thought about going to the inner palace tomorrow to look for some items. It would be best to ask Wang Xifeng to help with the discussion.

There are not many people in Rongguo Mansion who can speak in front of the old lady.Forget about the eldest wife, Mrs. Xing, Jia Mu doesn't want to see her; the second wife, Mrs. Wang, has always treated her eldest sister Li Wan harshly; after all the calculations, we can only start with Feng Lazi.

The reason is very simple. Wang Xifeng was already wary of housekeeper Li Wan. Now that Li Wan is out of the house, he will naturally stop caring about the housekeeper. Wang Xifeng will not object.Then with generous gifts, I expected Feng Lazi to help me with Shunfeng boxing, which would be a favor at no cost.

After thinking clearly, Li Weijian washed up early, but before going to bed, Hongyu pursed her lips and finally couldn't help but said: "Fourth Master, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Tell me about it."

Hongyu said: "Second Grandma gave the deed to the fourth master, and the fourth master will naturally be our master in the future. This maid has monthly schedules and grades. We should ask the fourth master to get the charter earlier. It is not good to keep it. Follow the old rules of Rongguo Mansion."

"Hmph!" After Hongyu finished speaking, before Xiangling and Xiuying said anything, Qingwen snorted and gouged out her eyes.

Who knows Hong Yu’s thoughts?To put it bluntly, he just wanted to lift the second-class maid, grab the night watch job, and take the opportunity to climb into the Fourth Master's bed!

Qingwen is most disgusted with such shameless little hooves!
At the moment, he didn't have an attack because he was in front of Li Weijian.

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Well, that makes sense. If it works, I'll think about it and make it public in two days when I've thought it through."

Hongyu said happily: "Then we'll wait for Fourth Master's charter."

After that, Hongyu, Xiangling and Xiuying left together. Qingwen was still on duty tonight.

The little girl pouted, her face full of displeasure.When he was about to spread the quilt in the cave, Li Weijian grabbed his hand and got into the quilt on the bed.

Li Weijian said: "What's wrong? It's unpleasant to see that face."

Qingwen said: "I just don't like her, and I only want to hook up with Fourth Master."

"Oh, Hongyu is a little older. If we don't make a decision in two years, we will have to find someone to marry. I feel a little anxious, which is understandable."

Qingwen turned around, looked at Li Weijian and said: "Fourth master, you have to be careful about your concubine in the future. Don't imitate me and only focus on looking for someone with a good color, but not the temperament. If you don't believe me, look at Aunt Zhao." , the whole family took her for fun, but she didn't know it.

He obviously doesn't have any ideas, but he still wants to learn to scheme against people.He kept scheming and scheming, but every time he was punished by his wife. "

Aunt Zhao...

Li Weijian smiled and said: "How could you know that this is not Aunt Zhao's way of protecting herself? Uncle Shi also has Aunt Zhou by his side, who is kind, kind and virtuous, but do you think Aunt Zhou has children by her side?"

Qingwen thought about it carefully, and it turned out to be true!Suddenly he was horrified and said: "Fourth Master is saying... Aunt Zhao is just faking it?"

"I didn't say anything. Maybe it's just human nature? It's night, go to sleep."

Li Weijian held Qingwen in his arms. Maybe he drank wine today and fell asleep soon.Qingwen in his arms was tossing and turning. Li Weijian's words revealed some truth about the world to the little girl. While Qingwen was shocked, she suddenly thought that maybe some things were not as simple as she thought.
