Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 83 Bustling
After returning to his small courtyard, Li Weijian had dinner and suddenly thought that the second girl, Yingchun, was soft-hearted and had no ideas.I had finally managed to cheer up the second girl, but I didn't want to cause any trouble again.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Weijian entered the study room and thought about it for a long time before he put down his pen and ink.After a while, a fisherman's proud letter was written. After the ink was dried, Hong Yu was called.

"Well, I'll go and deliver it to my second sister later."

Hongyu glanced at it and said, "Young master, have you written poetry again?"

Li Weijian smiled and nodded: "Doodle randomly."

This statement alarmed Xiang Ling in the room outside. She couldn't help but feel excited, and finally moved over to observe.He raised his eyes and scanned it, opened his lips, and muttered the words.After a brief recollection, although it is not as magnificent as the famous Tang poetry and Song lyrics, it still has a fresh charm in it.

Xiang Ling glanced at Li Weijian and said, "Fourth Master's poems are so good. When can I write such poems?"

Li Weijian smiled and said, "You have just started to learn. You must have recited those famous poems before you can start." Suddenly remembering Zicuckoo's words at noon, he said, "When you have learned these, I will find you a master." How are you?"

Xiangling wondered: "Won't Fourth Master teach me?"

Li Weijian shook his head and said, "The master I gave you is a hundred times more talented in poetry than I am."

Xiangling agreed ignorantly, but she couldn't think of anyone who could be a hundred times better than Fourth Master Jian.Maybe he's an old master from outside?Or maybe he is a frustrated scholar?Fourth Master has a wide circle of friends and I think he knows a lot of people.

Thinking of the discussion between the maids earlier in the morning, Xiang Ling bit her lower lip. The fourth master treated her so well, and thinking about such embarrassing things... it seemed that it was not impossible for him to do it.

However, Hong Yu folded the poem carefully, spoke to Li Weijian, and then left the small courtyard and looked for the second girl's courtyard.It was still early at this moment, so I walked all the way through the hall, passed through the corner gate, and arrived at the Yingchun Courtyard in a long time, but I could hear the chatter inside, which was very lively.

After asking Xiuju, I found out that it was Tanchun, Xichun, Daiyu and Baochai who came to visit Yingchun.

Hong Yu's heart is so clever, so he can take the opportunity to show off the fourth master's literary talent.

Entering the inner room, Hongyu bowed down with a smile, saluted several girls, stood up and said: "Our fourth master felt a lot when he went back. After dinner, he went into the study, picked up a pen and wrote a series of poems, and sent me I’m here to see the second girl off.”

The expression on Yingchun's face was moved, and warmth surged in his heart...Did he write a poem for himself again?
Tanchun was the most joyful at this moment. He smiled and clasped his hands and said, "What a coincidence. What poems did Fourth Brother Jian write? Come and take a look."

Baochai said at the side: "That is written to the second girl. You must ask the second girl first."

Tanchun suddenly understood and said: "Yes," and then looked at Yingchun eagerly: "Second sister, can I have a look?"

Although Yingchun was unwilling in her heart, she would never refuse. She just said, "If you want to take a look, just take a look. There is nothing shameful about it."

Tanchun smiled and thanked Yingchun, took the paper handed over by Hongyu, spread it out and scanned it, and then read in a slightly childish voice: "Yijia Ao·Yingchun, eh? It's really for my second sister." Of."

There were a few bursts of laughter, Daiyu was just joking, Baochai seemed to be smiling and said nothing, but if you look closely, you can see that the smile is extremely cold.

Tanchun walked up and down holding the piece of paper and recited: "The east wind smiles with open arms, and lets the wind roar with its gorgeous attire.

Suddenly the coolness comes through like falling snow.No complaints or worries, neither humble nor arrogant.

The small bridge is densely crowded, and the pink-faced and charming face attracts sniffs.

The spring light is lingering.Looking back sharply, the flowers are bright yellow and soft. "

The lingering sound fell, and several girls inside savored it carefully.This word seems to be about the spring flowers in spring, which is very suitable for the occasion, but in fact it is about the second girl welcoming the spring.

The words "dress up and let the wind roar" don't they describe what the second girl has experienced recently in welcoming the spring?

Then came first praise, then encouragement, and the inner meaning is self-evident.The literary talent of this poem is just ordinary. What is rare is that it was written in a hurry, and it contains full of expectations.

Tanchun and Xichun are young at the moment and don't know the true meaning.But Daiyu and Baochai knew about it. Baochai just smiled and said that the word was well written. Daiyu joked about welcoming the new year, but she thought in her heart that Brother Jian was really considerate, and he suffered this. Others would have avoided such a disaster, but he turned around and treated his second sister like this. He was truly affectionate and righteous, with clear grudges and grievances.

No wonder his father praised Fourth Brother Jian in two letters. From this point of view, Fourth Brother Jian indeed deserves such praise.

At this time, I heard Baochai say with a smile: "Fourth brother Jian, a proud fisherman, is full of words of encouragement. Second sister, please cheer up. You must know that there is no threshold that cannot be passed in this world."

The words were kind, but Daiyu's mind was sharp, but they didn't sound right to her.

The big house in Erli of Dongkuaoyuan has been bringing together the fourth brother Jian and the second sister to celebrate the Spring Festival. The whole family knows this, but it happened in Baochai's mouth. However, this fisherman's pride seems to be just a word of encouragement between brothers and sisters?

She looked at him furtively, but Baochai just had a smile on his face, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Xichun looked at Daiyu at this time and said, "Sister Lin is best at poetry. What does Sister Lin say?"

Daiyu glanced at Yingchun with a smile and said, "Why do you want to ask me if you don't ask me?"

The second girl was shy and happy to welcome the spring, and her face became even more shy.Xichun came to question Yingchun again. Yingchun tilted her head, raised her sleeves to hide her rosy face, and said, "I'm not good at poetry, so how can you ask me? I, I don't know."

I can't say it out loud, but my heart feels as sweet as honey.Just thinking about Jia She and Mrs. Xing, the two girls suddenly felt sad, but they didn't know how their current situation could change.

Hongyu chatted with him for a while, then left with a smile.Mrs. Xing, who had caused trouble that day, was still in the Buddhist hall, and Rongguo Mansion was safe.

Li Weijian calmed down and read a few policy papers. He knew how to write policy papers, but he really lacked literary talent.Fortunately, the policy discussion did not require a format, so he could use it as he pleased.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to hold the lantern. Although Xiang Ling secretly made up her mind to let go of her reserve, it was too late.After a while, it was Qingwen's turn to watch the night.

The three maids went back to the west chamber first. Qingwen helped Li Weijian wash up, and then they got into bed.As usual, Li Weijian gently held Qingwen in his arms.

Qingwen's heart was in turmoil. She said she was determined in the daytime, but when it came to the real chapter, where was the determination in the daytime?She just pursed her lips and looked out the window with flashing eyes.

Li Weijian behind him had no other thoughts. After a moment, he breathed evenly and fell asleep.Qingwen sensed that Li Weijian had fallen asleep, and was secretly annoyed, scolding herself for being useless.If this is the case, won't Fourth Master still have to look for that foxy child in the future?
Thinking that she would still be on night duty for the next two days, Qingwen made up her mind that it would be hard to postpone her trip for the next two days.Drowsily, Qingwen was about to fall asleep.

Although she fell asleep a little later, she still woke up at the beginning of the morning.At this time, it was just dark outside, and I could vaguely hear the chirping of birds. I opened my eyes sleepily, and then I felt a strong place on my side.

Qingwen was confused for a moment, and then she woke up, followed by her whole body.Feeling timid, she turned her head slightly to look around, and saw Li Weijian lying on his side, with a face that was a bit prettier than Mr. Lian right in front of her.Maybe it was because his eyes were closed tightly, but without that sharpness, he became more peaceful and approachable.

Suddenly, I remembered that Fourth Master Jian had lost his mother and father since he was a child. The little man was stumbling all the way to his death. Who knows how much fun Fourth Master Jian was that day?Referring to others, Qingwen was sold into the Lai family since she was a child, and she felt the same way in her heart.Thinking of the kiss that day again, Qingwen's heart suddenly became hot.Her heart was pounding, and she moved her hand gently, holding it slowly, recalling the shameful scene in the album, gritting her teeth and moving gently.

Oddly enough, I was a little shy at first, but then turned into curiosity.Thinking about it, is it useful just like this?
While she was thinking about it, Li Weijian next to her suddenly snorted twice, which made Qingwen instantly close her eyes and dare not move again.

Li Weijian's eyes were bleary, and when he opened his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Qingwen's pretty face beside him.He raised his head slightly and glanced at the sky outside, and then he felt something strange.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart, why did he catch something wrong, why did he accidentally catch the vital part?

As he was cursing, he saw the hand move twice.Observing carefully, under the tightly closed eyelids, a pair of eyes moved back and forth... He was obviously pretending to be asleep.

Li Weijian raised his eyebrows, how dare this little person tease him?Is this a big deal?
Immediately he reached out his hand to pull Qingwen over and kissed Qingwen until she couldn't breathe.

"Fourth Master~"

Qingwen called out softly. Although Li Weijian had eaten meat, he still had some self-control.After patting twice randomly, he stood up and said with a smile: "I got up first, why don't you take a nap?"

Qingwen didn't say anything when she reached her lips, so she watched Li Weijian turn over and jump out of the bed, put on a bunt, moved his arms and legs and walked out.

Qingwen, who was on the bed, was annoyed at her failure and slapped the quilt twice angrily before getting up.

Qingwen had been looking bad this morning, and Li Weijian wanted to take care of her. However, someone from the inner court informed her early in the morning that the stock exchange was opening today, and King Zhongyong asked Li Weijian to come and take a look.

So he only had breakfast and hurriedly left the small courtyard. Together with Wu Haiping and the Ding brothers, he took a carriage and headed towards the inner palace.

The Stock Exchange is located near the Inner Palace. It has five rooms. It was originally a grocery store. It was vacated by the Inner Palace last month and was reorganized.

When the time was approaching, King Zhongyong came down from the court and when he saw Li Weijian, he immediately waved.

"Resurrection and coming."

Li Weijian hurriedly approached and got into King Zhongyong's carriage.

King Zhongyong said: "Today the stock exchange is opening, I don't feel right about this. The sage said yesterday that the money is really empty, so I hope to make some money this time."

Li Weijian couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Your Majesty, you have read that statement. Even if I were to operate it, I would just follow the rules. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will release a piece of good news today to ensure that those rich people will flock to it."

King Zhongyong nodded and said: "Three thousand taels of silver were spent, and all newspapers in the capital will publish this on the front page. It seems that all the morning newspapers have been delivered."

"Then the prince will just wait and see what happens."

"I hope so." King Zhongyong was still worried.

He really couldn't understand such an empty-handed trick.Compared to this, he would rather lead his soldiers and horses to fight with Junggar on the grassland.

As they spoke, the stock exchange was in front of them. The carriages and horses stopped. King Zhongyong and Li Weijian got out of the carriage. The latter saw two [-]-gun firecrackers hung in front of the door. Other than that, there were no other celebrations.No wonder King Zhongyong felt uneasy.

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

Shanxi Guild Hall.

As the morning approached, the rich man Cao Yunsheng and Shi Shiran came out of the small courtyard where they rented, entered the guild hall, exchanged greetings with a few merchants, and then found a place by the window to wait for breakfast to be delivered.

Zhang Ben, the accountant, walked in. He looked up and saw Cao Yunsheng. He hurried over and handed a thick stack of newspapers to the table: "My boss, this is the newspaper for this morning."

"Yes." Cao Yunsheng responded, took a sip of the tea poured by the waiter, opened the newspaper and looked at it carefully.

This observation does not matter, Cao Yunsheng was suddenly startled, blinked and said: "Grandpa Er Ditian, this stock is still going to be sold!"

The merchant at the next table said, "Cao Dong's family got up late. Your country party got the news and hurried out of the house."

Cao Yunsheng curled his lips and said, "Kou Yongping? He's a tough guy. He must have gone to watch the excitement."

The merchant said: "Otherwise. Mr. Kou read the newspaper and said that he wanted to buy hundreds of thousands of shares."

"Huh?" Cao Yunsheng looked confused, and the merchant said: "Yes, Dong Cao's family has never read the newspaper. You will know after you read it carefully."

Cao Yunsheng immediately picked up the newspaper and read it carefully, line by line, sentence by sentence. When he saw the sentence "With the approval of the saint, stock is the same as the clan's land, it is exempted from copy inspection", Cao Yunsheng's eyes widened suddenly and he started to slap the case!

"Employee?"

Cao Yunsheng took the lead and hurried out: "Hurry up, hurry up, if you are late, there will be nothing! This royal business is not easy to get involved in, and now it is not included in the list. If you don't grab it, there will be nothing!" "

The accountant didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly called his waiter.In just a moment, all the carriages and horses were ready, and they hurried towards the Neifu Stock Exchange.

When we got to the place, we happened to see firecrackers being set off.The tall pole was raised and firecrackers crackled.There were more than a hundred people gathered outside. Looking at their clothes, there must be at least two or thirty rich people inside.

Looking at the streets on both sides, the carriages and horses were lined up for a long way. There was no telling how many people were waiting in the carriages.

The firecrackers were set off, and a man in green robe came out, holding a manuscript and reading from the script, which was basically the same as what was published in the newspaper.

After it was read out, the government officials dispersed in front of the door. The crowd gathered around them stagnated at first, and then a plump official squeezed out of the crowd and shouted: "I buy stocks, let me in, I buy stocks!"

With a buzz, the crowd exploded.The owners sent their waiters to grab seats one after another, and within a short time the door was packed with people.

On the second floor facing the tea shop, Li Weijian looked at all this with a smile, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, are you relieved now?"

King Zhongyong slapped the table and smiled: "Hahaha, good! Good!"

He couldn't help but feel secretly proud.This economic aspect is nothing, it looks like leading an army in a war. If you choose those who can fight at the front, there is no reason to be invincible!
