Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 70: There are no good people in the capital's waterways. Li Weijian took the heat from the bottom of the cauldron.

Two versus seven became three versus five...wait, it seems like the calculation was wrong?No, because Li Weijian never took action from beginning to end.

The Ding brothers are very brave and fierce, and Wu Haiping is an outstanding martial artist, so he is prepared for the fight but not the unprepared. He, Li Weijian, can only watch the excitement.

But in a moment, green-skinned rats were already lying all over the alley.Li Weijian opened the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and walked with his hands behind his back. He saw that the Ding brothers were breathing heavily, but Wu Haiping was breathless and his expression remained unchanged.

"Son."

"Well, let's go find the Criminal Punishment Department of the inner government. The Shuntian Palace has deep connections with such urban foxes and social rats. I'm afraid they won't be able to investigate the people behind the scenes."

"Yes." Wu Haiping responded, glanced at the Ding brothers, and then turned away.

Li Weijian ignored the green-skinned rat on the ground, walked straight to the two Ding brothers, and said with a smile: "Is it going to be fine so soon?"

Na Ding Rufeng said: "To tell you what the young master is saying, our brothers are rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and we have only been lying on dozens of boards for a few days. This... the family really can't get rid of the pot, so we came out to take over the work."

"It's also pitiful..." Li Weijian flicked his sleeves and took out a banknote from his armhole: "Take it to Anjia and follow me. It's better not to do such trouble as a lawsuit."

Ding Rusong glanced at the banknote and saw that it was 100 taels. He immediately said with joy, "With the help of such a noble man as the Young Master, we brothers will naturally follow the Young Master's lead in the future."

Ding Rufeng also echoed, and then glanced at the wailing people on the ground, and said: "Sir, if you want to force the mastermind behind the scenes, we brothers still have some means to ensure that these people will spit out immediately."

A man on the ground who was pretending to be dead suddenly raised his head and cursed: "The buffalo fucked you, Ding Rufeng, you are unethical!"

Ding Rufeng went up and kicked the man down and cursed: "Bah, who can talk about morality with green-skinned fools like you?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Weijian, but Li Weijian just smiled and shook his head, saying: "That's all, people from the Criminal Punishment Department will take care of it. We are law-abiding and good people, and we should not use lynching indiscriminately."

The Ding brothers crossed their hands in response, their faces slightly disappointed.The new owner was very generous, and he dropped 100 taels of silver upon meeting him. Although the money he received every month was not much, as long as the errands were done, the reward would naturally be indispensable.After all, isn't it much better than looking for food on the street?

After a long while, Wu Haiping led several inner government servants trotting over with swords in their hands.The foreman recognized Li Weijian and hurriedly came forward to greet him. Then with a wave of his hand, several government officials tied up the lava and tied them up in a bunch, shouting and driving them towards the punishment department of the inner government.

Li Weijian told the two Ding brothers to wait at the side gate of Rongguo Mansion tomorrow morning, then turned around and got on the carriage to return to Rongguo Mansion.

On the way, Wu Haiping said: "Sir, the brothers from the Ding family... come from a green-skinned trade, and are used to taking advantage of the wind. I'm afraid I have to be more careful in the future."

Um?You, Wu Haiping, also come from a green leather trade business... Oh, we are enemies in the same industry.

Li Weijian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we are really short of manpower, those two are just making up the numbers, so Haiping will keep an eye on them from now on."

Wu Haiping straightened up and said: "Don't worry, young master, with me watching, those two people will definitely not miss the important event of the young master!"

Li Weijian smiled and agreed, but secretly thought in his heart that if the people under his command were all harmonious, he would be anxious.Then he thought of the fierce fight between Qingwen and Hongyu in his own room, and it would be best to calm down a little.

The car rolled around and returned to Rongguo Mansion in a blink of an eye.

Wu Haiping walked through the house, not mentioning that he was eager to find Qianxue, but he said that Li Weijian had returned to his small courtyard all the way. When he entered the main room, he saw several maids chattering.

Qingwen and Hongyu exchanged a few words. Although they were not very affectionate, they were not as tense as usual.Li Weijian was secretly surprised and couldn't figure out what happened during the day.

Hongyu caught a glimpse of Li Weijian and hurriedly stepped forward: "Fourth Master is back!"

"Well, what are you talking about?"

Hongyu didn't order people to fetch water as usual, but said incessantly: "Fourth Master, something big happened today."

She was very clever, and in just a few words she made it clear that Baoyu wanted Xiangling.Li Weijian frowned slightly when he first heard it, Baoyu... although it is troublesome, it is not impossible to solve. When Qingwen pulled Xiangling to reason face to face, Li Weijian sighed angrily and funny, and said: "You didn't stop me. A bit?"

Hong Yu said aggrievedly: "I stopped her. Xiu Ying stopped her, and I stopped her too... But the Fourth Master also knows her temperament, and no one can stop her."

Li Weijian looked at Qingwen, and Qingwen pursed her lips and said, "I'm going to reason with you. Second Master Bao also listened to me. What can I do to stop you?"

"Ha," Li Weijian said with a smile, "Forget it this time. If something like this happens next time, let's wait until I come back. Baoyu may not care about you trying to reason, but others may not care. Well, I'll settle the score with you later. , I’m going to clean up the beginning and the end first.”

Li Weijian immediately took only one maid, Hongyu, without changing her clothes, and hurried towards Jia Mu's courtyard.Go through the east and west corner gates, pass through the hall, and enter Jia Mu's main room from the backyard.Turning around the corridor, I saw several maids in Bao Xia standing with their hands down.

Li Weijian greeted with a smile, and a maid came in to report. In a moment, he led Li Weijian around the screen and into the main room.

Li Weijian raised his eyes and saw Jia Mu sitting high on the couch, accompanied by Baoyu and Daiyu. She didn't know what Baoyu said at this moment, the old lady was enjoying herself.

Seeing Li Weijian, Jia Mu put out her hand and greeted him repeatedly: "Brother Jian is here? Come and sit quickly. I don't know where Baoyu got his naughty joke. It's really hilarious."

Li Weijian smiled and stepped forward to meet Li, and then said, "What joke did Brother Bao just tell?"

Baoyu showed off: "You only need to hear this naughty joke once. It won't be funny if you repeat it any more. Just as it happens, I have another joke here." He stood up and walked around: "But he said that the master cried bitterly when he saw Qilin's death. Disciple Seeing this, he quickly found a cow and filled it with copper coins. He pointed at the cow and said, "Teacher, look, isn't this a unicorn?"
The Master shook his head repeatedly: 'Where is Qilin?He's clearly a stupid cow, and he smells like copper.' "

Jia Mu was startled, then laughed so hard: "You narrow-minded devil, where did you get this joke?"

Baoyu said: "I heard it from private school."

Li Weijian smiled on his face, but cursed in his heart.This joke was clearly directed at me - putting copper coins on the cow was mocking me for being a nouveau riche.

Jia Mu seemed to be aware of it, and said quickly: "Brother Jian, please stop standing. Sit down and talk." "Hey," Li Weijian sat down in response, and then smiled and said, "What a coincidence, what Brother Bao said, I Reminds me of a naughty joke.

But it is said that a ghost brought him to life, and the king of hell sentenced him to be a rich man in the next life.The ghost shook his head repeatedly and said, "I don't want to be rich, but I just want to live a life without worries about food and clothing. It's enough to burn incense, eat bitter tea, and live a leisurely life." '

The king of hell thought to himself: "If you want more money, I will give you tens of thousands more. If you are so peaceful and happy, if I can't get it, how can you get it?" '"

When Li Weijian finished speaking, everyone in the hall laughed again.Daiyu sighed and said, "Brother Jian's joke is not naughty. We all know that wealth is rare, but who knows that it is even rarer to enjoy peace and happiness?"

Tanchun below continued: "Sister Lin is right. It is better to live in peace and happiness than to live in glory and wealth. How many people in the world can enjoy peace and happiness in this rolling world?"

Baoyu couldn't help but said: "It's not easy to enjoy peace and happiness, but it's not easy to be too lazy."

Li Weijian smiled and did not respond.Ci Baoyu's mouth was enough, and it was hard to say more in front of the old lady.

Seeing that he didn't continue, Baoyu was annoyed and said: "Where did Fourth Brother Jian get this joke?"

"Yeah, I just made it up."

Tanchun was immediately overjoyed: "Fourth brother Jian is indeed very talented."

After chatting for a while, Li Weijian smiled and handed over to Baoyu: "Speaking of it, I came here to express my anger to Brother Bao. Qingwen was reckless earlier, so I hope Brother Bao won't care about it."

Baoyu blinked and slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot!" He turned around and walked a few steps closer to Jia Mu and said, "Old ancestor, I don't want that fragrant water chestnut anymore."

"Ah?" Mother Jia said in surprise: "Why do you remember that it comes out every time? Earlier, you were so focused on begging for it, why don't you want it now?"

"Xiang Ling is not willing." Baoyu was a little depressed.

Li Weijian hurriedly challenged him: "Old lady, Xiangling is actually from my house, so... naturally it's not easy to go to Brother Bao's house again."

The people in the room are naturally talking about the maids who have a physical relationship with the master, such as Ping'er next to Sister Feng.

Mother Jia's face was slightly surprised, but she couldn't say much because there was always a layer of distance between them.So he said: "Hey, it's better to go to the next room." Looking at Baoyu, he smiled and nodded at Baoyu: "Next time, you have to scan and listen clearly."

Baoyu became more and more upset and had no choice but to respond in a muffled voice.Thinking that the flower-like Xiangling had become the person in Li Weijian's house, I suddenly felt regretful in my heart. I just thought that my daughter's family, which was so fresh and refined, had been humiliated by a man.

At this moment, Li Wan has not returned from the palace, and Sister Feng is not in sight. Only a few young people are talking to the old lady.Li Weijian talked about what he had seen and heard today, and the mandarin ducks from outside came in and reported: "Old lady, the lady is here."

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Wang had already turned around the screen with her maid and mother-in-law.

Looking up and catching a glimpse of Li Weijian, his face suddenly turned cold.Kuan Kuan came forward to meet Jia Mu, and Jia Mu asked, "Why are you here now?"

Mrs. Wang thought about it for a while, but still couldn't swallow it, so she said to her face: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law just learned about something. It is said that Baoyu is naughty and wants to please the maid in brother Jian's house——"

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I've said it, I've said it, I just said it."

Mrs. Wang forced a smile and then said: "Old lady, I'm not talking about others. Baoyu's behavior is certainly inappropriate, but there is no maid running over to point at the master's nose and make a noise. If this continues, the house will be in trouble. If your servants follow suit, how will you manage this family in the future?"

"This -" Mother Jia controls Rongguo Mansion by relying on rules and filial piety. It is naturally inappropriate for Qingwen to act like this, but now Qingwen is no longer in Rongguo Mansion.After thinking for a moment, Jia Mu said: "There are no rules."

Mrs. Wang turned to look at Li Weijian: "Brother Jian is still young now. When he sees the maid in front of him with her outstanding appearance, he will indulge in some indulgence. But these rules are rules. If you continue to indulge today, you will be indulged in the future. Brother Jian is married, won't Qingwen be riding on the head of the mistress?"

Li Weijian was still smiling and glanced at the quiet Yingchun. Sure enough, he saw the second girl's expression changed slightly.She is not as petty as Daiyu, but she is also afraid of being bullied by a maid in the future.

Li Weijian thought for a while and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. I just heard about this, so I quickly found Brother Bao to express my regret. Madam, don't worry, I will punish that girl Qingwen well when I get back."

He secretly thought to himself that it was a good thing that he came early, otherwise when Mrs. Wang had applied the eye drops and he came to argue and express his annoyance, he would probably hate Jia Mu.

He said this, and Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied.Li Weijian only talked about punishment, but did not say how to punish him.According to Mrs. Wang's wishes, she was naturally kicked out of the house and went to work.She pondered over what to say, then listened to Jia Mu who was weak and said: "Punishment is fine, but this person can't be indulged. Come on, this matter is over. Brother Jian is so tired, go back and rest." .”

Li Weijian stood up, bowed to Jia Mu, and said goodbye to the others. Before leaving, he exchanged a glance with the second girl Yingchun, and then left calmly.

Mrs. Wang was naturally angry, but Jia Mu had already made up her mind. She only thought about giving Qingwen a good son in the future!
Let's talk about Li Weijian leading Hong Yu with his hands behind his back, walking out of the hall and leaving Jia's mother's courtyard. Hong Yu said: "It's a good thing that the fourth master came early. Otherwise, the old lady will definitely be angry when she files a complaint."

Li Weijian paused briefly, looked at her and said, "I will punish Qingwen for three months, and you will be punished for one month."

"Huh?" Hong Yu was confused, but couldn't find it easy to ask.

Li Weijian said: "Since the day you came, all the external affairs have been handed over to you. How can you allow Qingwen to go looking for Baoyu and confront her? There will be another time." As he spoke, he put his hand on Hongyu's head. Eyebrow: "Let's see how I deal with you."

Hongyu pursed her lips, but secretly thought in her heart that Fourth Master Jian really trusted her.

All the way back to his small courtyard, Li Weijian entered the main room and took a seat. After scrubbing and changing clothes, he called the four maids and told him the punishment in person.

Qingwen pursed her lips and was extremely dissatisfied, but facing Li Weijian's eyes she had to endure it for the time being.

Li Weijian took a sip of tea and said: "After the punishment, let's talk about the reward. Qingwen stood up for her righteousness, not for herself, because she was awarded five taels of silver. For the rest, two taels each. The people around me can't Let outsiders bully you."

The four maids in front of her had different expressions. Xiangling could only feel grateful. The silly girl Xiuying simply grinned happily. Hongyu also pursed her lips and smiled. Only Qingwen hadn't figured it out yet - first she was punished three times. Two taels of silver, and now I have been rewarded with another five taels. It seems that I have made another two taels?So was he wrong or right this time?
