Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 92

No matter what Aunt Zhao had in mind, it was hard to refute Tanchun's face.Thinking that the soldiers on the left and right were just blocking him and the water and soil were covering him up, Li Weijian smiled and nodded in agreement.

Tanchun let out a long sigh of relief, but after thinking about it, he became a little worried and said, "My aunt's temperament...please Fourth Brother Jian be more considerate."

Seeing the worry on the third girl's face, Li Weijian couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, sister. Just looking at the third sister, can I still argue with Aunt Zhao?"

"That's good." Tan Chun thought, thinking that only a person like Fourth Brother Jian could be so generous, right?
After lingering for a while, Tanchun led the maid back, but Li Weijian thought about it for a long time and still couldn't figure out what Aunt Zhao wanted.

But Tanchun sent a letter to inform Aunt Zhao, and after receiving the accurate information, Aunt Zhao immediately became busy.

She rummaged around in the box and then took out a handful of money. She was afraid that the two maids would be inappropriate, so she took someone to the kitchen and chatted with the sister-in-law Liu who was in charge for a while, and begged for a lot of money. The rare dishes made me go away satisfied.

After returning to her small courtyard, Aunt Zhao quickly ordered a few maids to tidy up carefully.

She herself was sitting on the bed, thinking wildly.

She thought about hosting a banquet for Li Weijian, but it was because of what her ex-son Jia Huan said.That day, Jia Huan skipped class and was playing naughty things with Long'er, Xing'er and other boys in his house. In a blink of an eye, he lost a bunch of money and started to make a fuss about the boys playing tricks.

On normal days, the boy would have just had a quarrel with Jia Huan and then dispersed.As a result, Long'er just threw the bunch of money back that day. He just said that he was following Mr. Lian now, and he could get a bunch of money in three or two days. He didn't look down on a mere bunch of money.

The servants around him were sarcastic and sarcastic. Jia Huan was so angry that he went to Aunt Zhao to complain with tears in his eyes.Aunt Zhao scolded her a lot, but afterwards she had doubts in her mind. Xing'er and Long'er were used to coaxing Jia Huan to gamble, so why did they change their attitude now and not care about getting money?
Afterwards, I inquired carefully, and to my advantage, I found out a few things from the remaining six people in the porter's mouth.But it is Jia Lian who has been following the eldest master Jia She these days, going to the inner-city stock exchange on errands.

These days, Mr. Jia She is buying at low prices and selling at high prices. Perhaps he is just unlucky. He makes more and loses less in his successive transactions!

The eldest master, Jia She, made a lot of money every day, and it was rare for him to be generous. Not only his son Jia Lian, but also all the boys who ran errands got the rewards.

Yu Liu was even more jealous and flattered Li Weijian, saying that the father and son made money only because of Li Weijian.

Others might have admired it and forgotten it, but Aunt Zhao took it to heart.She had a close relationship with Taoist Nama. Every month, most of her money and Jia Huan's money were filled with sesame oil.

I just hope that the master who was born with jade will die early, so that his own son Jia Huan will be favored by the master, and he will plan to attack Jue'er of Rongguo Mansion in the future.As for studying and practical learning, it is just an excuse. How can the wealth of Rongguo Mansion be comparable to poverty?
It's just that Taoist Ma refused to speak easily, and the price he asked for was getting higher and higher. If he wanted to facilitate this, he had to have some money with him.After listening to what Yu Liu said, Aunt Zhao started to think about it - she didn't have much money saved on hand, and Tanchun happened to have close contacts with Brother Jian, so she said that she couldn't let Brother Jian help with the affairs, so the money could be used to make the arrangements. It's doubling as it rolls.

Besides, although Tanchun was not close to her, she still crawled out of her intestines.Brother Jian is a promising man. I heard he made millions of silver.She made peace with him, saying that if Tanchun marries brother Jian in the future, wouldn't Jia Huan have a lot of help from now on?
Hum!Everyone knows what the eldest master and eldest wife of Dongkuaoyuan have planned!But he didn't know why he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he messed up the matter the previous time.

It’s her fault that Aunt Zhao got a God-given opportunity!Although Tanchun is young, in terms of temperament and color, how can he compare to the second girl Yingchun?
Besides, the age difference is only four or five years. If Brother Jian can't wait, he can just arrange the marriage in three or four years.

Aunt Zhao, who was sitting on the bed, was thinking more and more wonderful things. She was asking the maids around like nitpicking, but she stopped when she couldn't find any fault.

The rest of the time was just sitting there, eating without any taste. After a while, Aunt Zhao would ask Xiao Que what time it was, but Xiao Que couldn't laugh or cry when she asked.

When it finally reached Shenshi, it began to rain lightly outside again. Aunt Zhao said anxiously: "Little Ji Xiang'er, why don't you go outside to greet me? Brother Jian and Tanchun haven't come yet?"

Little Ji Xiang'er responded in a muffled voice, picked up her umbrella and was about to go out. After a while, she ran back and said, "Auntie, it's coming, it's coming. Fourth Master Jian is here with Third Miss."

"Hey!" Aunt Zhao beamed with joy and quickly straightened her appearance in the mirror. She was about to go out but paused.I thought that if Tanchun and Brother Jian got married in the future, then she would be Brother Jian’s mother-in-law!How can a mother-in-law go to meet her son-in-law?
Aunt Zhao simply sat down again, assumed the posture of a serious elder, and said arrogantly: "You go and welcome Brother Jian and Tanchun in."

The two maids looked at each other and knew that this was inappropriate, but they had no choice but to agree.

After a while, there were noisy footsteps, and when she heard little Jixiang'er greeting her, Aunt Zhao got up and came out with a smile on her face: "Hey, Brother Jian is here. Come on, come on, come on, I will treat you as if you are here." Just like your own family, you don’t need those other rules.”

Li Weijian's face remained unchanged, he smiled and held his hands towards Aunt Zhao: "I've met Aunt Zhao."

"Hey, good," Aunt Zhao responded with a smile, and then said: "Look, Brother Jian and Tan Chun are standing together, and they really agreed to the golden boy and beautiful girl, giggle - "

"Auntie!" Tanchun said with shame and anger, "How can you say such nonsense?"

"Hey, brother Jian didn't say anything, why are you in a hurry?" Aunt Zhao ignored Tanchun and kept calling to Li Weijian: "Brother Jian, hurry up and take a seat. I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare Jinling dishes today. I guarantee that they will be suitable. Brother Jian’s appetite.”

Li Weijian sat down with a smile and took a closer look at Aunt Zhao, who considered herself a serious elder. Then he thought to himself, it seemed that he had overthought it earlier. This Aunt Zhao was not pretending to be a pig, she was clearly a real pig.

It's just an aunt pretending to be a senior, and she doesn't speak properly. I'm afraid that everyone in the family will see through Aunt Zhao's stupidity, so why don't we care about her?
After tea was served, Li Weijian sat and talked with Aunt Zhao for a while.

Tanchun sat beside her and kept winking at Aunt Zhao, fearing that her mother would make other people laugh again.Aunt Zhao seemed to be invisible, and she only exchanged brief greetings, but she couldn't keep her thoughts in mind.

He said: "Brother Jian is a capable person. He came to the government just as a scholar. Who would have thought that he would become rich in a short time? Geez, Brother Jian, you have earned millions of dollars with your stock..." ?”

Li Weijian smiled and said: "My aunt has said it before. I just came up with an idea. The person in charge of water affairs is the inner government. It was the saint who showed mercy and gave him some money. Perhaps the saint had never thought of the current situation earlier, because it was I changed hands and gave away most of the proceeds. There wasn't much left."

"Blind!" How could Aunt Zhao believe that?He just said: "You donated millions of dollars just because you asked for it? Brother Jian, don't try to coax me."

"Auntie, Fourth Brother Jian never lies. If he says he donated it, then he donated it."

Aunt Zhao glanced sideways at Tanchun, feeling very unhappy.She also thought that there was always something to ask for from Brother Jian, but it was not easy to go into detail, so she smiled and said: "Look, they say girls are outgoing, but my daughter and Brother Jian are closer than my own mother. .”

"Auntie!" Tan Chun felt ashamed and angry.She was only nine years old after her birth, and she still didn't know anything about people.Although he likes to be around Li Weijian because of his temperament, he has never thought of anything else.Aunt Zhao's hint of matchmaking immediately made Tanchun feel embarrassed and annoyed.Little did he know that a seed was quietly planted, just waiting to take root and sprout in the future.

Tanchun turned his head and glanced at Li Weijian, only to see Li Weijian smiling and saying, "I also like to be close to the third sister. Although the third sister is a girl, she has great ambitions and is incomparable to ordinary men. Who knows that she will become even more outstanding in the future? ah."

When Tanchun heard this, she felt secretly happy, and she realized that Fourth Brother Jian understood her.

But Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "I don't know what is wrong with Honghu. This girl's family must find a suitable man to marry. I think-"

Suddenly shouts came from outside, Tan Chun quickly stood up and interrupted: "Brother Huan is back, Auntie, I'm hungry. When will the banquet start?"

Aunt Zhao was secretly annoyed and had to swallow half of her words. She ordered the maid to welcome Jia Huan in and lead Jia Huan to meet Li Weijian.

"I've met Fourth Brother Jian." Jia Huan greeted him casually, with sullen eyebrows and slanted eyes. Although he had a good appearance, he had a sinister look on his face.

Li Weijian smiled and returned the gift without saying anything else.

Aunt Zhao then urged the maid to arrange a banquet. After a while, the food boxes were brought in and eight dishes were placed.Aunt Zhao only glanced at it and almost cursed!

Compared with the ordinary dinner, the dishes only had a few more dishes, and she still charged a lot of money!With this sling of money, I will go out and see that the food in the fly restaurant outside is much better than this!

After all, she was thinking about Li Weijian's first visit. Aunt Zhao stiffly smiled and invited Li Weijian to take a seat. She turned to look at little Ji Xiang'er and asked in a low voice: "Why are the dishes so delicious?"

Little Ji Xiang'er said: "Sister-in-law Liu said that the master is hosting a banquet today and the kitchen is really busy. Sister-in-law Liu asked someone to make these."

This caused Aunt Zhao to curse in a low voice: "You were raised by a prostitute, and you made me a fortune for nothing! If I don't get it back in the future, I will make sure that bitch in the kitchen gets a good wife!"

Turning around, Aunt Zhao felt that she had lost face, so she sat down with her and explained, "The dishes are thin today. I didn't expect the eldest sir to serve wine today. I don't know why."

Jia Huan stared at the table and drooled. Hearing this, he continued: "What else can you do? The elder has made money."

Aunt Zhao took advantage of the situation and said: "Brother Jian," she stood up and poured wine for Li Weijian herself, then came closer and said, "How did I hear that it was you who gave the old man advice and made a lot of money? That guy It’s really a good deal.”

Li Weijian heard the string and knew the elegant meaning. Only then did he realize why Aunt Zhao wanted to entertain him. It was because money and silk moved people's hearts.

So he smiled and said: "My aunt is wrong. If you say that the water company is related to me, the third sister also knows about the subsequent stock. I have been in the study these days. Wen Shu, how can I find the time to help the eldest master read the news? Besides, the eldest master and I haven't seen each other for more than half a month."

Tan Chun nodded and said, "Fourth Brother Jian is right."

Aunt Zhao lost her smile and said in confusion: "This is strange, why did the old man make money by relying on that stock?"

"Maybe you're lucky?" Li Weijian solemnly consoled him: "There are risks involved in stock trading. It's just normal to make money today and lose money tomorrow. My aunt only saw the old man making money, but she didn't think she saw the exchange. Those who beat their chests and stamp their feet in front of the door will suffer miserably.

To put it bluntly, the money made from stock trading comes from those who lost money.It's like gambling, where can you make a sure profit without losing money? "

Jia Huan felt sad and said hurriedly: "That's right. Nine times out of ten you will lose."

"What a loser!" Aunt Zhao cursed, turned to look at Li Weijian and said eagerly: "Brother Jian, you might as well tell the truth, is there no way to make sure profit without losing money in this stock?"

Li Weijian smiled, spread his hands, and said, "If there was such a deal, I would have ended up in a hurry. How could I watch others get rich?"

Aunt Zhao was persuaded and temporarily gave up her thoughts on stock trading.So, wouldn't this invitation be in vain?
Unwilling to give in, she turned around and saw her daughter Tanchun. She thought that Tanchun was getting an advantage this time, so she lost interest and opened the table.

It was a terrible meal, Aunt Zhao lost her interest, Jia Huan only focused on eating and drinking, but Li Weijian and Tan Chun had a great time chatting.He talked about the past of Maoshan, the real world of Dashun, and many strange things from all over the world, and finally turned to the storybook.

Li Weijian II was a man with a lot of experience, and he could talk about anecdotes easily, which aroused Tanchun's admiration for a while.During the dinner, Aunt Zhao rarely spoke, but Tanchun mentioned Jia Huan's transfer to practical studies.

Li Weijian said that he would make a book list later, and this matter was considered to have been exposed.When Unity was approaching, Li Weijian stood up to say goodbye, and Tan Chun hurriedly stood up to see her off, leaving Aunt Zhao frowning and sulking.

When she turned around and saw Jia Huan drinking secretly, Aunt Zhao suddenly got angry. She raised her hand and slapped Jia Huan: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat! I've paid a lot of money for you today!"

Jia Huan, who was secretly raising a glass, suddenly choked in his throat, coughed repeatedly, and coughed up snot and tears. He was so scared that Aunt Zhao went down her spine, and it took a long time to calm down.

In the passage, Li Weijian and Tan Chun walked slowly, with several maids hanging far behind.

Tan Chun bit his lower lip and said, "Fourth brother Jian, my aunt—"

Li Weijian nodded with a gentle smile and said, "I know it's difficult for the third sister."

Tan Chun felt anxious, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he added, "This time it will be difficult for Fourth Brother Jian."

Li Weijian just smiled and shook his head.At this time, the sun was just setting, and Li Weijian's moon-white gown was dimly lit. The setting sun shone on his body, and it immediately cast a halo of light, which was so dazzling that Tanchun was dazzled.Tan Chun's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that Fourth Brother Jian was so good-looking...
