"Is the price high? Why don't I feel it at all?"

Jia Huan smiled so calmly and said leisurely: "Brother Cong, you have to remember that if a problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem!"

That's right, the big bargaining chip he gave was 3000 taels of silver!
To survive in the capital, there is only a small amount of power and existence, and there is no shortage of money on hand for spending.

Ordinarily, with the Qiu family's background as a middle-class noble family, there should be no shortage of money.

Quite the opposite is true!

The Rong Mansion began to decline rapidly, and the money income was also greatly affected.

The Qiu family can maintain every generation with fourth- and fifth-grade Beijing officials, and occasionally a local official of third-grade or above appears, which is already quite difficult.

In Qiu Liang's generation, not only were there many clansmen, the resources were severely diluted.

Even the amount of money in the hands of the Qiu family is becoming increasingly insufficient.

After all, if you want to maintain the dignity of the founding family, the money consumption is too great.

Being able to sit in the position of commander of Xicheng is worth money.

Qiu Liang only gets about 2000 taels a year from the dividends from Sihai Casino.

This little money is enough if you don't have any ideas for the future and just eat and wait to die.

But if you still want to go further in the officialdom, it would be good if you can still have 800 taels left in the end just by doing everything up and down, and you have to contribute part to the family.

Life is not a hardship, but it is far from luxury.

Although he pretended to be very embarrassed when talking to Jia Huan, the things Jia Huan asked him to do cost a lot of favors.

In fact, such consumption of favors is nothing compared to real money. Some favors also require money to maintain.

3000 taels of silver may not seem like much, but it is enough at a critical moment.

After all, the West City Commander is only a sixth-grade official. If he wants to go one step further and become a fifth-grade official, the cost will not be too high.

Jia Huan is still a bit too young!
If it weren't for Jia Lian behind him and vaguely representing the Rong Mansion, Qiu Liang wouldn't have given it a second glance even if he had a promising future and didn't have enough benefits and benefits.

Here, Jia Huan is still giving instructions to Brother Cong: "Besides, do you think I will suffer a loss?"

Seeing Brother Cong shaking his head subconsciously, he chuckled and said leisurely: "If I guess what happened this time, I won't need to pay for this money!"

"It doesn't matter if you guess wrong. When the time comes, just ask those green-skinned gangsters to carry you on your back!"

"Is it possible that, as the boss, I would incur debts by helping my subordinates expand their territory? There is no such truth in the world. It would be embarrassing to say it!"

Brother Cong suddenly understood, and the first thing that came to his mind was Xue Pan, the stupid overlord.

This guy usually behaves very aggressively. If the time comes when he really needs money, as long as Brother Huan shows a slightly abnormal look, this guy will probably be in a hurry to take the initiative to pay.

I just don’t know what Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai would think if they knew about Xue Pan’s generous style outside.
It can only be said that poverty has limited Brother Cong’s imagination!

How did he know that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai didn't care at all about the money Xue Pan was squandering outside, as long as he didn't suffer losses outside and be led astray by others' schemes.

The expense of several thousand taels of silver was a waste for the wealthy Xue family.

According to rumors that are not true or false, every time Mrs. Wang takes money from the Xue family, it is in units of ten thousand taels.

In the original work, the Rong Mansion was planning to build the Grand View Garden, and the Xue family also contributed a lot of money.

It has been described in many fan fiction that Mrs. Wang took too much money from the Xue family and had no intention of repaying it. In the end, she could only use Jia Baoyu to pay off the debt.

At this point, Xue Pan returned to Lixiangyuan, still feeling quite unhappy, and it all showed on his face.

"My son, what's wrong with you? Are you being bullied outside?"

Aunt Xue came back from Rongqing Hall and couldn't help but ask when she saw Xue Pan's appearance.

"Don't mention it, we encountered trouble outside!"

Xue Pan waved his hand, naturally he would not mention the conflict in the small canal in front of his mother.

He casually changed the subject: "I heard that Brother Bao goes back to the big study room in the mansion every afternoon to go to school?"

"Yes!"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Aunt You and the old lady are both worried about this!"

"Haha, he deserves it!"

Xue Pan curled his lips in disapproval and chuckled: "Isn't it better to just stay with the clan school? If you have to toss and toss, you will end up tossing yourself in it!"

"Why, is Baoyu not doing well in family studies?"

Aunt Xue said doubtfully: "I think Baoyu's child is very good. He is well-behaved, sensible and good-looking!"

"He is used to behaving well in front of his elders!"

Xue Pan said with a smile: "Brother Bao has quite a temper outside!"

"Besides, mother should have heard those stupid things Baoyu said about studying!"

"He really wasn't just talking, he didn't put his mind on studying at all!" "Then why does he go to clan school every day?"

Aunt Xue was a little surprised, as if she was meeting Jia Baoyu for the first time.

"Who knows?"

Xue Pan said disapprovingly: "Anyway, he and that kid Qin Zhong hang out together like a glue every day, and everyone else feels bored when they see him!"

"A few days ago, because that boy Qin Zhong got a little closer to a classmate next to him, he made a big fuss about the Clan School Prestige!"

"I guess the news reached my uncle, and that's why Baoyu was forced to study in the big study in the afternoon!"

Of course, I didn't doubt that Jia Huan had done anything, but it was hard to say it out loud.

Although Xue Pan is not very bright, he still knows how to distinguish between inside and outside.

My mother, Aunt Xue, is a gossip. If she knew something, she would most likely reveal it to her aunt, Mrs. Wang. Wouldn't it bring disaster to Brother Huan?

"No way, how could that child Baoyu do this?"

Aunt Xue was greatly surprised, her expression suddenly changed, and she temporarily gave up an idea.

Unexpectedly, Xue Pan also reminded: "Mom, if you have no intention of getting married, please tell my sister and Baoyu not to get so close, so as not to affect my sister's reputation!"

Anyway, I have been hanging out with a bunch of green-skinned gangsters for a while recently.

Even if those guys didn't take him to those unclean places, they would naturally be affected by them after getting along with them for a long time, and at least he would know some things and principles.

With Jia Huan's strong restraint, the green-skinned gangsters from Ningrong Street never dared to provoke a good family.

Those who are doing well inside, even Xue Pan doesn't dare to be too negligent, but even such a powerful gangster doesn't dare to disobey Brother Huan's orders.

It's not that there were no unruly people, it was just that they disappeared without a trace very quickly. Sometimes I feel my heart tremble when I think about it.

What does cruelty mean? This is the best example.

Xue Pan was depressed to find that what he had done in Jinling before could only be described as reckless, which was far different from Brother Huan who kept silent and made people unable to do anything.

From this, he also felt something in his heart and had a clearer understanding of certain social rules.

Looking at Jia Baoyu again, I naturally feel uncomfortable everywhere!
He is as careless as a child. He only knows how to play with his sisters all day long, and he doesn't know how to avoid suspicion.

In any case, Jia Baoyu was over nine years old at this time, and he was already an out-and-out young boy.

At this time, what Xue Pan resented the most was this guy's behavior of talking about his sister!
After hanging out with green-skinned gangsters on the street for a long time, I naturally know that once a person's behavior becomes a habit, it will be exposed unconsciously no matter where or what the occasion.

Just like the green-skinned gangster who talks nonsense and uses all kinds of dirty words, he restrains himself a bit when in front of Brother Huan, but he still can't help but swear when he is in a hurry.

Jia Baoyu is not young anymore. I believe it won't be long before his family will arrange for him to go out of the mansion and make friends with other young masters in the mansion.

Just think about how awkward and embarrassing the scene was when Jia Baoyu suddenly came up with the names of sisters and sisters when she was making friends with the young masters from other mansions.

Of course, with Jia Baoyu's character, he would not care about this.

But the girls in the house suffered unreasonable disasters, and their reputations were stained unknowingly.

The feudal ethics of the Daqian Dynasty were very strict, and the girls in the palace would be severely affected when they got married in the future. Xue Pan did not want his sister to be affected.

After talking about his sister Xue Baochai, Xue Pan got up directly to wash up and rest.

He had no intention of mentioning the external matters to his mother.

Aunt Xue's temper is there, and it might affect his future performance.

It's really fun to hang out with Brother Huan!
At this time, Xue Pan was at a passionate and impulsive age. His first foray into the world opened his eyes, as if he had entered a colorful and novel world.

At the moment, he is focused on making a career in the world, and is not very interested in other things.

In fact, with Jia Huan's restraint and the influence of the people around him, he is no longer so enthusiastic about men and women. It is quite rare for him to have a snatched Xiang Ling next to him.

As everyone knows, this is also the main reason why Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai didn't interfere too much or talk about him hanging around outside.

Whether a young man is addicted to drinking and sex can be clearly seen from his usual energy and energy.

Xue Pan is in pretty good condition. Naturally, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, mother and daughter, won't say much, otherwise what will happen if it has a counter-effect?

Because of this, they all had a much kinder attitude towards Xiang Ling, the only personal maid around Xue Pan.

Xue Pan went to the room to rest, while Xue Baochai quietly came in from the outside examination.

"Did you hear what your brother said just now?"

Aunt Xue didn't find it strange and asked directly: "What do you think?"

"Mother, my daughter wants to see if she can enter the palace smoothly!"

Xue Baochai was very calm and said slowly: "I don't want my brother to seem to be unhappy with Baoyu. Don't let aunt know, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble!"

She looked down on Jia Baoyu at this time and was only thinking about entering the palace to fight for her future. As for the name under which she entered the palace, she didn't care at all. The reality was terrifyingly calm.

　Starting tomorrow, it will return to normal.
