Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 85 There is such a thing!

Jia Yun?Vaguely remember the one who called Baoyu daddy?
It had been such a long time ago that Li Weijian couldn't remember clearly. He only vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be someone who could get things done, and that he and Xiaohong... Well, Li Weijian frowned slightly, thinking to himself that it was better not to let Hongyu and Jia Yun meet.

He is now in need of manpower. Wu Haiping was born in a businessman, has martial arts skills, and has some brains. The Ding brothers are not even businessmen, they are just green-skinned gangsters on the street. They are small-minded and very smart. It’s hard to say.

This Jia Yun seems to be useful, and it is just right to keep it under your hands.

Because of this, he smiled and said: "You are a relative of your own, what are you busy with now?"

Jia Yun said: "I'm ashamed, my nephew is wandering around now and has nowhere to go. I heard that Uncle Jian is busy at home every day, so I thought of coming to Uncle Jian to ask for a job."

"Okay, now I'm short of manpower. You'll be waiting in front of the door tomorrow morning, and you'll be working as an accountant with me first...can you do the accounting?"

"Yes, yes." Jia Yun agreed without any hesitation.

Li Weijian saw that Jia Yun was dressed in commoners again, and expected that although Jia Yun was a descendant of the Jia clan, her family was not very wealthy.Because he turned around and winked at Wu Haiping, the latter glanced at Jia Yun, made a mental assessment, and took out a fifty-tael silver barley from his sleeve pocket.

"Tsk!" Li Weijian frowned, and Wu Haiping quickly changed it for another 20 taels of silver ingots.

Li Weijian reached out and took it, turned around and smashed it into Jia Yun's hand: "The monthly salary will be set at 20 taels first. If it is needed, it will be increased later. These [-] taels are considered Anjia's money."

Jia Yun was overjoyed!He immediately lifted up his robe and was about to kneel down. Li Weijian quickly helped him, saying that his relatives did not need to be outsiders.Jia Yun couldn't kneel down, so she took two steps back and bowed again and again.

He was originally a descendant of the Jia family, and his family was in decline, so he lived next to Ni Er, who had committed a crime.His father died young, and the only person in the family was his mother, who was called the fifth sister-in-law. She was raised by starvation and bathing.

Now I have no property, and my family is struggling to make a living. I wanted to sacrifice my face and find a job in Rongguo Mansion, but then I heard that a wealthy Uncle Jian now lives in Rongguo Mansion!
After carefully listening to what Fourth Master Jian had done in the past few months, Jia Yun secretly thought in her heart that such a person is exactly the answer to the saying that "there are great scholars in talking and laughing, but there are no white people in dealings", and he will surely rise to the top in the future.So he changed his mind and thought to himself that if he stayed with Uncle Jian at this time, wouldn't he have a better future than asking for an errand in the Rongguo Mansion?
So when she saw Li Weijian leaving the mansion this morning, Jia Yun was afraid of missing him, so she didn't even take a bite of food and had been waiting at the corner gate since Chen time.

Huangtian paid off. After a few words, Uncle Jian was so reasonable and reasonable. Not only did he agree to the errand, he also gave him 20 taels of silver on the spot!
With the heavy silver ingot falling in her hand, Jia Yun was filled with emotions. On the one hand, she was thinking that now she could finally make money, and she no longer had to work around all day long. On the other hand, she was thinking about how Uncle Jian was doing this. Courtesy, he will be well served in the future.

Jia Yun left with a lot of emotions, but Li Weijian didn't take it seriously at all.In his previous life, he had only briefly watched the TV series and had never even read the original novel. How could he know what Jia Yun was capable of?I don't expect Jia Yun to be able to do much, as long as he can do things honestly, he will be considered a useful person.

He also thought that Jia Yun was born in the Jia family and had always seen the world. It would be cheaper to send Jia Yun to choose a residence in the future.Now Li Weijian has only one requirement for the residence. The residence does not need to be very luxurious, but the garden must be large so that the Japanese laboratory can be accommodated.

He is not that old scalper who just works hard. Now that he has money, he naturally wants to enjoy it.Thinking about the day when King Zhongyong rushed past the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, there were many other courtyards looming on the mountainside, but I didn't know the price. If it was cheap, I could buy them for fun.

He also remembered that the reply to Lin Ruhai had not yet been sent, so Li Weijian asked Wu Haiping to stay in front of the small courtyard for a while, took the letter and asked him to go to the government delivery shop. Wu Haiping agreed and took the letter before leaving.

Li Weijian returned to his small courtyard, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. Today, he still looked at some of the maids acting strangely, as if they were hiding something from him.

Li Weijian couldn't hold himself back. When he went out for a walk after dinner, he ordered Xiuying to accompany him.This silly girl didn't know what was wrong. She kept her head down all the way and didn't say a word.

Li Weijian stopped and followed Xiu Ying, bumping into her.This girl practiced martial arts every day, and her body was extremely strong. Even Li Weijian staggered when she was bumped into.

"Hey."

"Tsk, Xiu Ying, what are you thinking about?"

Xiu Ying raised her head and glanced, her ears turned red, and she muttered: "No, I didn't think about anything."

"What have you guys been talking about together these past two days?"

"Ah?" Xiu Ying lamented in her heart, knowing that she couldn't hide it from the young master.Fortunately, Hongyu had already thought of her words earlier, so she said, "It's already April, and the young master will give birth to a baby in a short time. We are planning to join forces to support the young master's birth."

"That's it." Li Weijian was doubtful, but didn't ask further.Among the several maids, Hong Yu was the only one who had more thoughts, but she never thought of harming herself.

After going around in circles, Li Weijian led Xiu Ying back to the door of his small courtyard, and happened to bump into Ping'er and his party coming out.

Li Weijian rushed to greet her and said with a smile, "Why is Miss Ping'er here?"

Ping'er smiled and said, "I've brought something good to Fourth Master Jian."

But it was approaching April, and the local officials from the south rushed to send Bingjing over early. Because it was transported by canal or sea, some seasonal fruits were included in it.

Jia Zheng led the official position of wailang, a fifth-grade official, and naturally got a share.When I came back from the office that day, I gave the melons and fruits to Jia Mu as a filial piety.

The old lady tasted the fresh food and praised it for its delicious taste. Remembering Li Weijian's arrival, she sent Wang Xifeng to bring a portion to Li Weijian as well.

Li Weijian quickly thanked him and then watched Ping'er and his party go away.

When he entered the main room, he saw a basket placed on the table, with cherries, lychees, and mulberries piled in it. Several maids gathered around to discuss it.

These cherries are just fine. You can always eat them in the capital in May, but the lychees and mulberries are fresh.Xiangling was born in the south of the Yangtze River, so he had eaten it before, so he talked about the taste of those two things, which made Qingwen and Hongyu talk about Xiangling.

Seeing Li Weijian come in, the three maids hurriedly greeted him. Li Weijian glanced at it and said, "I'm going to wash the ruby. Let's share it. Let's all have a taste."

Qingwen said: "Fourth Master, this is sent by the old lady. You haven't eaten it yet, where can you share it?"

Li Weijian smiled and said, "I'm a grown man. If I don't like eating these, I might as well share them early in the morning." After a pause, his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "Master, when I buy a house, I can feed you all in the winter." There are so many fruits."

How can Qingwen believe it?He just smiled and said: "If Fourth Master said that we can eat hot spring vegetables in winter, I would still believe Fourth Master, but we can't grow these fruits. Could it be that Fourth Master knows magic?"

Li Weijian suddenly said solemnly: "Eh? Did you spy on it? Now, I have no choice but to tell the truth. Yes, sir, I have obtained the true inheritance of the Shangqing Sect. I only have two skills that I am proud of in my life, one is to stimulate hair. The first technique can make plants and trees bloom and bear fruit in winter; the second technique is to turn stones into gold. I won't explain this, sir."

Tsk - Dai Xiangling laughed first, and then all the maids laughed.Qingwen laughed so much that she fell down, and Xiuying even bent over with laughter, holding her stomach.

Li Weijian pretended to be bored and said: "Eh? Why don't you believe me when I tell you the truth?" Hongyu smiled and said: "Believe it, fourth master believes anything you say. Even if you said that I went to pick the moon to illuminate it, I would believe it too." Woolen cloth."

Li Weijian smiled and said nothing, thinking, now that we have all the glass, it is not difficult to build a greenhouse. When we turn around, we will actually plant fruits. Let's see how surprised these maids are.

There was nothing else to do that day. After being late, Li Weijian went into the study to read some books as usual.The Four Books and Five Classics seem sleepy, but you must review them all the time. Otherwise, when you enter the official career one day, someone who is a serious sergeant will tell some allusions, or criticize Huaihuai, without even knowing it. Wouldn't it be ridiculous?

When it was time to watch, the three maids Hongyu, Xiuying, and Xiangling withdrew, leaving Qingwen alone to watch the night.

Halfway through the first update, Li Weijian stopped turning the pages of the book.Candlelight illumination is really inappropriate, and if things continue like this, I will become blind.It's a pity that there are no oil fields around the capital, otherwise we can extract kerosene and develop the kerosene lamp, which is another way to make money.

"Fourth Master, are you going to sleep?"

Qingwen came quietly, Li Weijian responded and saw that Qingwen seemed a little shy than usual.

Li Weijian washed up, took off his coat when he got to the Nuang Pavilion, and sat on the bed in only his middle coat.Er, Qingwen brought a basin of hot water over.

As usual, Qingwen first gave Li Weijian a scrub, and then sat side by side with him. She stuck her white feet in and let Li Weijian rub them back and forth.

"Fourth Master, are you going to move out after autumn?"

He seemed to have nothing to say, so Li Weijian said: "Yes, we can't stay in Rongguo Mansion forever. Don't worry, sir, the house I bought will definitely be good."

Qingwen then said: "When the time comes, we will have to hire a few more rough servants. Now there are only two spring cicadas and Yunzhi, and sometimes they are too busy."

Li Weijian nodded in agreement.After soaking her feet for a while, Qingwen found a handkerchief to dry the two of them. She took the basin out and washed herself, while Li Weijian held the candle and read through his storybook.

After a while, Qingwen returned quickly.Just as he got into bed, there was a sudden flash of lightning outside, followed by thunder.

She shrunk her figure, turned her back and covered her head. Li Weijian thought Qingwen was afraid of thunder, so he reached over and took her in, patting her gently with one hand.

Qingwen's heart skipped a beat and she secretly bit her lower lip. When her hands became erratic, she finally made up her mind.A white and tender hand quietly turned its back, reached down, and then grasped it.

"Ok?"

Seeing that the hand was still moving, Li Weijian raised his hand and patted it gently: "Stop making trouble and go to sleep."

Qingwen snorted but didn't answer.Just doing this kind of movement made her hands a little sore. She thought back to the picture book given by Aunt Lai, and suddenly remembered one of the postures. She stopped her hands, bent her legs, and explored her feet.

There was another burst of thunder outside, and the raindrops first rustled, and then fell in fine numbers.The swallows were chirping under the eaves, watching the wind pick up the rain and blow the yellow-flowered begonia potted plant in the courtyard swaying back and forth.

The wind in spring is also naughty, sometimes gentle and sometimes rapid. After half an hour, dark clouds suddenly sweep over.The courtyard was quiet, except that the thick leaves of the crabapple could no longer hold any water droplets. They tilted and gurgled down, and it soon returned to silence.

In the Nuan Pavilion, Qingwen rolled up the mess and threw it on the ground with a red face and then found a clean one.After getting back into bed again, Li Weijian stretched out his arms, and the little girl was delighted to get in.

"Where did you learn it?"

She pressed her face into Li Weijian's arms, not daring to raise her head, and just said in a low voice: "This is the album sent by Aunt Lai."

"Huh? Why did she give you this?" This was a question that was asked knowingly. You only need to think a little to figure it out.However, Li Weijian was too lazy to use his brain at this moment.

Qingwen didn't answer.

Li Weijian smiled: "Why do you want to do this?"

Qingwen raised her head and said with a pair of eyes that looked like paint: "I, we have discussed it. Although the fourth master pities us, we cannot let the fourth master go out to look for Hu Meizi. This kind of thing... I advise you to do it. I couldn’t persuade him, and the fourth master didn’t want to take the people in the room now, so he had to use this method.”

Although it was dark night, Li Weijian could clearly see that those eyes were full of him.Warmth surged in his heart. As a second-generation man, he was used to intrigues, but such genuine affection made him particularly fascinated and cherished it more and more.So he hugged Qingwen tightly, kissed her forehead, and whispered: "It's hard for you. Look back...well, you can't only take care of my happiness."

The night was as cold as water, and the two fell asleep hugging each other.

In the morning, Li Weijian went to the small courtyard to practice as usual.After a while, Tanchun also came, holding the flute and sword that Li Weijian had given him when he was a child.

Taking advantage of Li Weijian's instruction on Tanchun's sword skills, Hongyu quietly entered the main room, caught a glimpse of Qingwen and approached her.When she raised her eyes full of questions, Qingwen's face immediately turned red and she just nodded slightly.

It seems that he said nothing, but he said everything.

Hongyu's heart was confused, but thinking that after today, it would be her turn to stay on duty tomorrow, she felt a little more thoughtful.But she was not as loud and aggressive as Qingwen, and she was timid when it came to moving the truth.Hongyu had made up her mind from before and would only wait until tomorrow. She had her own plans.

So she smiled and showed a teasing look, which made Qingwen rush towards her and show her teeth.

In the small courtyard outside, Li Weijian and Xiu Ying began to sparring, and the sound of wooden knives clanging against each other was continuous.Tan Chun slowly wielded the dagger with a graceful posture, like a fairy dancing with a sword.

After a long while, Tanchun came over to practice a few sword skills, then he stood aside with his dagger and watched the two of them get right.

Perhaps Tanchun found it boring, so he found a small ball in his pocket and tossed it around to play with himself.

"Okay, that's it for today." Li Weijian put away the wooden knife, took the handkerchief handed over by Hong Yu, and wiped the sweat from his head.

He turned around and saw Tan Chun throwing a bead. The bead hit the wall and bounced back. After landing, it bounced back to Lao Gao.

Li Weijian, who was originally smiling, was suddenly startled. He stepped forward to catch the bead, held it in his hand but felt it was very elastic, and then asked: "Where did this thing come from?"
