Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 156 Return to the original owner
  ah! Seeing the person coming, the three of them hurriedly separated in surprise, and Jia Cong received another roll of the eyes.

Jia Cong coughed twice and said: "Qingwen came just in time. When the tent is changed later, just say that I broke it by playing with you. Don't say anything else."

Qingwen pursed her lips and agreed, feeling a little aggrieved. I was messing around with other girls, but I was asked to top the tank.

Jia Cong didn't understand what she was thinking. He smiled, walked over, carried her to the bed and rolled her twice, "Okay, now this tent also has your credit."

"I'm bullying people." Qingwen said coquettishly.

Everyone laughed.

Jia Cong stood up and asked everyone to sit down. He thought for a while and said, "Sister Bao, how much is the income of the wine shop these days?"

Baochai smiled and said: "Brother Cong, you are now a rich man. In more than a month, you have earned more than 42 taels."

"That's it?" Jia Cong said with a smile: "When I went to Yangzhou this time, I collected nearly a million in silver alone, and countless other treasures and antiques. It seems that doing business is not a good way to make money."

Baochai said angrily: "If you hadn't relied on Lin Yanyuan, who would have given you money? You just took advantage of me and were so arrogant. Now that you are back, I will send you the money later." . Now it is only sold in Shenjing, and the profit is already quite abundant. If it is sold all over the world in the future, it will naturally be much more."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "No need, just leave it to my sister to take care of it for me. Now I don't lack money and I am too lazy to take care of business."

He is not afraid of Chen Guojiu and the Xue family stewards being up to no good. The wine shop uses distributed accounting. Each family has an account book and supervises each other. No one can do anything wrong.

Baochai nodded when he heard this, his heart warmed slightly, brother Cong had not changed his mind after all.

"In addition, I asked Sister Bao to sell all the antiques and treasures I brought back in your shop for me. The Xue family will keep 10% of the profit.

In addition, I have made an agreement with Uncle Chen Guo to bring in a few family friends to do business together. Brother Xue and I will each give up half of the profits and distribute them to each family. Uncle Chen Guo will not move and ask Sister Bao to pass the news on his behalf. "Jia Cong laughed.

Baochai shook his head and said: "What did Cong'er say? You are now doing business with your brother and you are very successful. I just want to help you sell some things out of family ties. How can I accept your money? I won't. In addition, You make the decision in business matters, and our family has no objections."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile: "No. Although Sister Bao is the eldest girl of the Xue family, she is still in the boudoir. If she favors me in this way, it will damage my sister's reputation. Secondly, Cong has never If you like to take advantage of others, it’s better for your brothers to settle the score.”

Daiyu sneered and said, "Brother Cong, if you don't like to take advantage of others, how did you get the poem about night exploration?"

"Zi'er, you are really crazy, you just stopped talking nonsense again."

Jia Cong hurriedly pressed Baochai, who was about to get up, and said with a smile: "I don't like to take advantage of others, except for beauties like Sister Bao and Yan'er." After that, he looked at Qingwen next to him and added: "Also Except for pretty girls like Qingwen and Qianxue."

Obscene, everyone spat.

Jia Cong accidentally caught a glimpse of the new bracelets on Qingwen and Qingwen's wrists and said, "Your bracelets are still fresh. Where did you get them?"

Qingwen raised her bright wrist in front of his eyes like she was offering a treasure, and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess is giving you a reward today, does it look good?"

Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said, "You have taken advantage, but I will be unlucky."

Everyone laughed.

"Hey, why are you smiling so happily?" Ping'er walked in and couldn't see the debris and wood chips on the floor that he hadn't even had time to clean up yet.

Everyone was busy greeting.

"Sister, are you looking for me?" Jia Cong asked.

Ping'er nodded and said: "Second Grandma, please ask Third Master to go over and say a few words. If Third Master has something to do here and can't leave, it will be the same if he goes back later."

Baochai and Daiyu hurriedly stood up and left, saying, "It's better for my sister to detain him, because we are too lazy to grind our teeth with him." After saying that, they left with a smile.

Jia Cong smiled and followed Ping'er to Sister Feng's house next door. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Xifeng wearing a golden eight-treasure bun with pearls, a hairpin with five Chaoyang phoenixes hanging on it, a red gold plate and a necklace on her neck, an azure flowered rich jacquard brocade with a large stand-up collar, and an emerald crepe with flowers. She was leaning on the kang and taking a nap, but she didn't pay attention when he came in.

Jia Cong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I don't know what my sister-in-law Feng ordered me to do when I summoned her. Looking at the cold beauty's appearance, could it be that someone has offended my sister-in-law again?"

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then said solemnly: "Brother Cong, you are becoming more and more disrespectful of others. In your eyes, I, my second sister-in-law, may not even be as good as a girl."

Jia Cong was stunned: "Sister-in-law, why did you say this? Cong's respect and love for sister-in-law is increasing day by day, how dare you be rude?"

"You are still telling me, where is the jade pendant I gave you when you were promoted to a knight?" Wang Xifeng sneered.

Jia Cong was slightly stunned. How could he have remembered such trivial matters? He smiled casually and said, "Cong is not used to wearing jade pendants around him. He should have left them at home. Why does my sister-in-law ask this? Do you want to go back?"

Wang Xifeng snorted, took out a bamboo-jointed jade jade from her sleeve, spread it in front of Jia Cong, and said, "What is this?"

Jia Cong suddenly remembered that this thing seemed to have been given to Jia Yun by him, and why it had returned to Wang Xifeng's hands only three months later.

"Hey, my sister-in-law actually has an identical piece, but it's a pair?" Jia Cong had to pretend to be stupid.

Wang Xifeng blushed and spat: "Fuck you! This is the only couple we've ever been together. You're still pretending to be stupid with me, please be more careful."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, calm down, Cong has remembered. This is not the last time I asked Jia Yun to take me to meet two horse sellers. I drank too much that night, and Cong loved the things my sister-in-law gave me so much. I was carrying it with me, and by chance, Jia Yun saw it, and was envious and fond of it.

Cong was really drunk, thinking that he was a junior after all and had done something for me, so he couldn't be stingy, so he casually took it off and gave it to him. When I woke up the next day, I regretted it, but I was an uncle, so I couldn't get back the things I gave to my nephew, so I had to let it go. Now that my sister-in-law has brought it back, she will reward me. "

"Bah! Your mouth is full of maggots, but you lied without blushing." Wang Xifeng sneered, turned her hand and took back the jade pendant, and said, "Do you know what Jia Yun told me?"

"I don't know this. Please tell me, sister-in-law." Jia Cong said bravely.

"Jia Yun said that Uncle Cong gave it to him and asked him to bring it out when he asked me for help. Humph! Brother Cong, how about giving away the things I gave you?" Wang Xifeng was angry. road.

Jia Cong secretly complained, this Jia Yun is too ignorant, what big deal does he need to give out a token?
  He hurriedly followed up and scolded: "I don't blame my sister-in-law for being angry. Brother Yun is too troublesome. I just stepped forward and he came to trouble my sister-in-law with his back legs. Don't you know that my sister-in-law has a lot of things to do every day? You really should be beaten."

"Don't be too entangled and put the shit basin on other people's heads! Humph, I've seen through you. Don't expect me to help you in the future." Sister Feng sneered.

Jia Cong surrendered with a bitter smile and said: "Sister-in-law, is it okay if I'm wrong? I'll compensate you, okay? I shouldn't give away your things casually, but I'm not soft-hearted. Look at Brother Yun and his orphans. He has no livelihood, and I, as an uncle, can’t bear to look at him, can I? Because I wanted to support him, I lost my mind for a moment, sister-in-law, can you spare me a break?"

Seeing that he had surrendered, Wang Xifeng's face softened a bit and said: "Even if you want to help him follow my path, you can tell me why you gave him this. If he takes it to find me, it seems like you and I have something." It’s like something private.”

"Yes, yes, what my sister-in-law is saying is, why does this bastard come to ask my sister-in-law for anything?" Jia Cong quickly changed the subject.

"It's just an errand to deliver rice, noodles, vegetables and meat to the inner house kitchen. It's not worth much." Wang Xifeng said lightly.

Jia Cong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Just this? How much money can I make?"

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "You can earn a few quid a month, but you think everyone is as rich as you, and you treat money like dirt."

Jia Cong laughed and scolded: "Brother Yun is so stupid. If I were to sell this piece of jade, how much would it be worth? Why bother with these unattractive things?"

He knew that there were two kitchens in the mansion, one was a large kitchen that catered for the three to four hundred wives, wives, maids, stewards, servants, and attendants in the mansion, and the other kitchen in the inner house only catered for the master and decent maids. There were forty or fifty people in total.

"Bah, do you think that everyone in the world is like you, unkind and unjust, and just sell and give away other people's affection?" Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and scolded.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Isn't this an analogy? Cong would be reluctant to sell the things his sister-in-law gave him even if he starved to death."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but chuckle, pointed at Jia Cong and cursed: "Brother Cong, why don't you fuck a ghost in front of me, do you think I don't know you?"
