Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 96: Domestication
Aunt Zhao's angry and violent behavior was widely known before the delay.Except for Tanchun's visit, it didn't seem to cause any ripples.

Li Weijian was puzzled until the next day when he learned that Aunt Zhao had lost money by trading in the stock market.Li Weijian was secretly happy in his heart, saying that it was hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words.There are no rules in that stock exchange now. Small retail investors like Aunt Zhao can't even be called small fish. At most, they are just bait swallowed by small fish.

Another day later, Li Weijian gave Wu Haiping another day off early in the morning. No one else called him, and he only took the Ding brothers towards the small courtyard he bought.

When I entered the inner room, I saw that everything had changed.I don’t know when Siqi got free. Not only did he clean it, but he also bought a lot of things for home and daily life.

Li Weijian couldn't help but think about it for a while. The person he had chosen as his sire was not bad, but he was afraid that the scholar could not be bought. Although he could get by with his own abilities, the ceiling was already doomed - whether he could compete with that Chen in the future. Generally, it is good for the chief to enter the official position as a craftsman.

A maid from a wealthy family is better than Biyu from a small family. When it comes to that, it is only a stroke of luck that he can marry a girl like Shangqi!
At half past midnight, Siqi came.She was dressed up carefully today, wearing a red coat and skirt, a silver-white dark patterned turban, beads on her temples, and a silver-plated gilt bamboo hairpin.The figure is plump, and the movements of hands and feet are graceful.

"Fourth Master."

Si Qi came closer and called softly. He slightly lowered his head and arched his back. Looking at his stature, he seemed to be different from Li Weijian.

Li Weijian saw a basket in her hand and asked with a smile, "What did you buy?"

"I cut some pork belly and bought some chicken, toon, and chives. I plan to make a meal for Fourth Master."

As he spoke, a pair of eyes lifted up, making Li Weijian distracted.He stepped forward, took the basket, threw it aside, and led Siqi into the room.

"Don't be in a hurry, let's eat something appetizing first!"

The details of this story are not enough for outsiders to understand, but there are poems to prove it: mandarin ducks dancing with their necks crossed, an emerald acacia cage.The brows often gather together, and the red lips are warmer and more harmonious.The air is clear and fragrant, the skin is moist and the skin is plump.I am unable to move my wrist carelessly, but I love to bow my head.There were beads of sweat, and the hair was messy and green.

When the clouds stopped and the rain subsided, the two of them hugged each other and lay down together. It took a long cup of tea to calm down.The small copper jar was thrown on the table beside it, and it was already empty.

Si Qi secretly bit his lower lip and said softly: "I didn't expect that Fourth Master would be like this..."

Just now, I was really embarrassed to death, but when I was stunned, Siqi felt an indescribable joy.

Li Weijian fiddled with Siqi's hair and said, "It's better to have fun in the boudoir than to be as serious as facing outsiders. Don't you like it?"

Si Qi shook his head and said after a while: "It's okay."

Li Weijian smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself that this rouge horse has a fierce temperament. Although his thoughts are on himself, he must be tamed before he can control it.The seeds were planted earlier, and now they are tamed. When the ferocity is gone, they will naturally do whatever they say.

Suddenly I remembered that in the TV series, Siqi seemed to be dead?How he died is unknown.Thinking of taming him like this, he could change Siqi's fate, right?

Si Qi rested for a long time, finally struggled to get up, and awkwardly headed towards the kitchen.

"Just rest. If you're hungry, I'll ask someone to bring you a meal."

But Si Qi forced himself to shake his head and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a few side dishes. They will be ready in a while. Fourth Master will wait a moment."

After half an hour, Li Weijian ate the salty or bland dishes, but his heartstrings were aroused.Long-lasting memories flashed before my eyes, and when I came back to my senses, I thought secretly in my heart.

Si Qi kept complaining with a bitter look on his face, saying that he had done it when he was at home earlier, but for some reason today, he always misplaced Xiandan.

"What's this? It's just in time for dinner." Li Weijian ate big, and cleared up all the dishes in a moment.

But Si Qi's face was so moved that his eyes were red, and the two of them were entangled again, so they didn't mention it. Si Qi suddenly started crying. Li Weijian asked her for a long time before saying, "I know what happened last time, what was in Fourth Master's heart" I'm afraid I'll be annoyed, otherwise I'll go find Ma Daopo and buy the Hehe Powder, eat it myself and let Fourth Master do whatever he wants.

Or else, as long as Fourth Master calms down, I'll be fine no matter what. "

Facing those tearful eyes, Li Weijian's resentment immediately disappeared. He reached out to wipe away Siqi's tears and said with a smile: "I'm not that narrow-minded because of my nonsense. I won't let you go if you obey me." Abandoned you."

Si Qi burst into tears and smiled, nodding repeatedly: "I will listen to Fourth Master from now on. I will do whatever you want me to do."

Holding his plump body in his arms, Li Weijian secretly thought to himself, this tameness...maybe most of it has grown?But I don’t know what kind of domestication King Zhongshun and others have become now.

He was thinking about King Zhongshun, but King Zhongshun was worried now.

After trading continuously and making huge profits for several days, perhaps the situation is too ugly, and now retail investors no longer dare to leave the market easily.Therefore, in the past two days, the water market can create several sinusoidal curves in one day, sometimes falling to one or two, and sometimes rising to two or two. But without the bait of retail investors, no matter how the stock rises or falls, Zhongshun Wang will do it every day. The family only got a few hundred or a thousand taels of silver.

As for the elder Jia She, he earned even less.Watching King Zhongshun buy and sell stocks every day, although he never lost money, he got very little money.After all, we only saved our money after eating and drinking!
King Zhongshun thought for a long time that day, and he nodded to Zhou An and said: "I see many people outside watching my actions. Let's continue like this today. I will first buy 50 shares, and then sell [-] shares every other stick of incense. "

"This -" Zhou An thought for a while, and suddenly understood, he raised his thumb and said, "Your Majesty, you are so smart!"

King Zhongshun laughed and said: "Is it so easy to take advantage of me? Then Jia Enhou has been drinking soup after me. It's time to make him vomit it out today."

"Yes, I'll go handle it now!"

At the Shuntian Mansion Lending Business Office, Zhou An went straight to the desk, threw out a stack of banknotes and said, "I want to borrow [-] shares."

Seeing Jia Lian staring not far away, Zhou An smiled and cupped his hands, turned around and sneered secretly.This time, Zhou An felt extremely happy!

It was not the fault of the Jia family that day that they rejected King Zhongshun's kindness. How could he, the head of the palace, have wasted so much time?It's hard to say that now that the tide has risen, all boats are lifted, so it's not a bad idea to be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.

Seeing that Jia Lian entered the private room of Renzihao to report, Zhou An ordered a palace guard to come and whispered the order. After the guard received the order, Shi Shiran returned to the private room of Tianzihao.

But when Jia Lian entered Deya's room, he felt a little hesitant.The Jia family and Prince Zhongshun had never had any contact with each other, so Jia Lian and Zhou An were naturally just acquaintances.Zhou An smiled warmly just now, but it made Jia Lian wary.

Because when he arrived in front of the eldest master Jia She, he hesitated.Jia She waited for a while, then put down the tea cup: "What's going on? Let's talk."

"This...Father, I see that Zhou Changshi is buying up. But...my son always feels something is wrong."

The elder Jia She sneered and said: "What do you know? That guy named Zhou is just following orders. What ideas can he have? Nowadays, the prospects of this stock are becoming more and more scarce, and the courage is not strong. How can he make money? He has already bought the stock price. , it won’t be wrong for us to follow behind. Go ahead and borrow [-] shares to buy up.”

Jia Lian knew Jia She's temper and did not dare to neglect him at the moment, so he accepted the order and left.

The two parties smashed down 20 shares, and the market price immediately rose in response. In an instant, it jumped a dollar, and the momentum was so strong that only a few retail investors complained and beat their chests.

Jia She was very proud and scolded Jia Lian again.Just like yesterday, the water card will only stop when it reaches around two taels. Unexpectedly, the water card lingers with a stick of incense at a price of one, two or three cents, and then it falls down like mercury pouring to the ground.

Jia She was shocked and pulled Jia Lian away: "Why did it fall? You saw it clearly? So what did King Zhongshun buy?"

Jia Lian was also panicked and said quickly: "Is it a rise in buying? This... I'll go and take a look."

"Go!"

Jia Lian left quickly and came back even faster. He no longer looked like a young master from aristocratic family. He said with a sad face: "Father, we have fallen into a trap! King Zhongshun bought 50 shares and the price went up. He didn't want to turn around and bought another [-] Thousands of stocks fell!"

"Ah? Throw it away, throw it away quickly!"

The elder Jia She no longer dared to sit still, so he pushed Jia Lian away and rushed out, looking for the bookstore and shouting: "Throw it away, throw it away quickly, no matter what the price!"

The old clerk said: "Mr. Jia, no one is picking up the water sign right now. You can't sell it even if you hang it up."

"This...this this..."

Jia She's eyes were about to burst, and he felt as if a knife was cutting through his heart as he watched the water sign change all of a sudden.Silver, his silver!If we don't throw this away, wouldn't all the more than 1 taels of silver be wasted?

The clerk yelled a few words, took off the water sign with one tael and two cents, and hung it directly with one tael and one cent.

Jia She's face twitched, half of it was lost!He seemed to be crazy and shouted: "Stop, stop quickly, we can't fall anymore!"

Just at this moment, a sinister laughter suddenly came from behind: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, General Jia, there are no fathers and sons in this stock market, so I can't help General Jia being so presumptuous."

Jia She turned around and saw Zhou An standing with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, and suddenly raised his finger to point to the plaque hanging in the hall.But I saw a line of big words written on it: "The stock market is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the industry."

"You——" Jia She's eyes were about to split.

The clerk shouted: "Are there any? Is there anyone who picked the water card? No? Then just change it, one or two or five cents!"

Jia She's ears were ringing, and his mind was exploding. He only had one thought at the moment, it's over, I'll pay it all!

He was stunned for a long time, and only when he regained consciousness did he realize that someone was pulling on him.Turning his head, he looked at what Jia Lian said hurriedly. After a while, his ears regained clarity and he heard clearly: "Father, Shuntian Prefecture said that our margin is not enough. If we don't increase the margin, we will have to force delivery and take back the shares. "

The eldest master, Jia She, had a sore nose and almost couldn't help crying.It is a pity that Li Weijian is not nearby. If others were here, they would definitely sigh: "After 20 years of hard work, I am back before liberation."I think the elder Jia She will definitely become a confidant...

If this stock wanted to be forced to be delivered, it would not be possible in a short while. The Shuntianfu office worked for a long time before the stock fell to about one, two or three points and was completely delivered.

The eldest master, Jia She, was about to leave in despair, but was stopped by several clerks.

Jia She was annoyed!

"Now that I have broken my book, what are you going to do to stop me?"

Several clerks looked at each other, and one of them raised his hand and said: "General Jia, it's not because we are trying to make things difficult, it's just that the stocks Mr. Jia borrowed for one or two cents have fallen like this... not only has your deposit been lost, , and still owe a total of 4000 taels of silver. This...will General Jia pay with a banknote or cash?"

Jia She said angrily: "I've paid everything, so how can I still owe you money? Get out of the way. I'm not feeling well today, general. I have to return home quickly."

"So General Jia doesn't intend to admit his debt?" The clerk raised his chin towards a private room: "It doesn't matter, I will submit a copy in front of the censor of the city later. When the time comes, If we go to court, I expect General Jia will never default on his debt."

Jia She turned around and took a look, and saw that sitting in the elegant room was actually Zhan Chong, the censor of the city patrol!
He was hesitant, and then heard another book clerk say: "General Jia, don't lose big because of small things. It's only 4000 taels of silver, but you can't lose your title because of it."

Another bookkeeper said: "General Jia Xu is not able to get enough money today, so just write down the IOU. I, Shuntian Mansion, promise to waive interest within seven days."

With the highest title in the world, Jia She thought about it for a while, but had no choice but to sign and write down the IOU, and then led Jia Lian back to Rongguo Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the clerk turned around and stopped Jia Lian again, saying: "It's okay for General Jia to leave, but we still have to settle the Second Young Master's debt. Second Young Master, you owe a total of 700 taels, so you owe me a debt." IOU?"

Jia She looked at Jia Lian blankly. The latter swallowed his saliva, and suddenly remembered what Li Weijian said that day, and immediately sighed: "I regret not listening to brother Jian. Forget it, I will take care of you with my pen and ink. I will just pay the IOU."

At that moment, he picked up a pen, signed and stamped the IOU, and then several clerks in Shuntian Prefecture let go.

The father and son walked out of the exchange like zombies, entered the carriage without making a sound, and then the carriage rumbled away.There was silence in the car. Jia Lian was okay. The 700 taels of silver was too much to say. The second master Lian asked Wang Xifeng for help and there was always a way to make up for it. But it was not that easy for the elder Jia She. 4000 taels of silver, this was Not counting the more than 1 taels folded in at the front, more than 5000 taels were filled in inside and out!
Seeing the eldest man's ugly face, Jia Lian thought for a long time and then comforted him: "Father, let's consider this matter in the long run. Whenever big things happen to calm down, all father needs to do is - eh!"

Snapped--

A slap came across his head and face. The elder Jia She's face twitched and he cursed: "The little kid who got stabbed is a bastard! I need you to teach me a lesson!"
