The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Daiyu blushed, "Dead girl, what's your name?"

He picked up the pen again, and wrote a song on the paper: "The north wind blows the snow and the swords are full of swords. When will the thousands of miles be reunited with the army. Whoever wants to fight hard in the battlefield, the general is going through Yinshan again today. People Xiangyueming. Sifu do not know that the autumn night is cold, and the cold clothes have not been sent to the border town."

If Baochai Xiangyun was here, I would laugh and think about women's cold clothes again. There has always been nothing to do here. Let's talk about the courtyard in the northeast corner of the Rong Mansion. It has been snowing heavily for several days, and Xue Pan is bored at home. It is really boring. Aunt Xue is restrained again. He, let him talk about what he's done over the years. Xue Pan was very impatient, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only say a few words. Even so, Aunt Xue was angry with her stick to enforce the family law. Xue Pan hurriedly explained it to her, but the more he described it, the worse it was. There was no Baochai beside him to persuade him, so he had to teach the prodigal son a lesson. So Xue Pan hurriedly told the story of the reselling of antiques by himself, and he was plausible. He said that Brother Lian was also very optimistic, and even borrowed money for himself. Aunt Xue heard something strange and asked him to tell the original tail. Xue Pan said it carelessly. In a hurry, he asked him to return the money. But Xue Pan was always willing to find a reason to shirk it. Aunt Xue made a sacrifice again, saying that if she found out that Xue Pan had done this, she would definitely break his leg. Xue Pan was afraid, so he had to succumb to the promise. It was just that he believed that he could make money. With a silver note in his arms, he walked around the big pink wall outside Fengjie's courtyard and went back. He suddenly thought of a good idea. Fazi, although his mother didn't let him do it, but he didn't let others do it. For example, Xue Tad excitedly went back to find Xue Tad, told him carefully, and repeatedly assured that he would definitely make money and only change hands. Xue Tad's nature Honestly, when he heard such a large amount, he shook his head and refused. Xue Pan was in a hurry, "If my mother didn't let me, how could this good thing come to you and I to see that we are brothers, so I deliberately supported you, why don't you know what to do? "

Xue Tao hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, how do I know about antiques? If I miss a glance, even if I sell me thousands of taels, it won't be worth it!"

Xue Pan put his hands behind his back, "It's okay to keep it safe. This man is my brother, I can trust him."

Xue Tao had to postpone, Xue Pan shouted: "I said Xue Tad, your surname is not Xue, how can you make a lot of money to revitalize the family business, I can tell you, the uncle and aunt are gone now, and the matter of Baoqin is also unreliable. Now, the future of your brothers and sisters depends on my mother's words. Today, you help my brother once, and when you have a chance, I will tell you a good word in front of your mother, and let you manage a piece of the property. In the future, it will not only benefit you. Xiao busy also refuses, then I misread you!"

She was so sloppy that Xue Tao was helpless. "Since my brother said that, if I want to postpone it again, I really don't know what to do! But if it's a loss."

Xue Pan laughed and said: "This is my good brother. We will make money together! In this way, we are considered a partnership, if we lose, it is impossible! But for your peace of mind, we will bear half of it. , I am four and six. You are also making money and preparing to marry a daughter-in-law."

The distribution was not only reasonable, but also took special care of Xue Tad. So Xue Tad had all his doubts and thought that he must make this deal. According to his brother's estimate, [*]% should have nearly [*] silver, enough for their brothers and sisters to live a rich and rich life for a long time. Time is up. Then the two brothers solemnly signed and signed the business. The merchant's home is so good, and the contract that has never been written on paper can be trusted. You also read books on antiques. As the saying goes, sharpening a gun in front of a battle will leave you unhappy. When you make money, my brother invites you to go to Jinxiangyuan to see the world. There are several handsome people there, especially one named Yuner. That voice is sure to make your bones brittle."

Xue Tao just laughed with her, thinking that if she could really make money, she should buy a better bracelet for her sister, and save the rest for her sister's dowry.

Chapter [*] talks about the trivial matters at home and says that when Sister Feng returned to the Rong Mansion, she was busy with her mother's family affairs, and at the same time also concerned about Baochai's passing. Aunt Xue has also bid farewell to the old lady and plans to move home tomorrow. Go. The old lady left a few words of condolence, and Mrs. Wang smiled: "There is no girl left in the cabinet: Li'er from a relative's house. In this case, we will not stay. Anyway, it is already a family, and we will come often in the future."

The old lady no longer insisted, and told Sister Feng, "The house on the northeast corner is still reserved for the concubine, and she can live at any time."

So Aunt Xue said politely, "I've been here for a few years, thanks to the old lady who didn't dislike it and allowed us to live in peace."

The old lady smiled and said, "It's a shame to say these things. You guys are here, and I'm having fun with this old lady. I'm also grateful to you! Unlike Brother Lian, who kidnapped his sisters and left, even a person who talked No."

Sister Feng joked on the side: "Old lady, I dare not refute you when you say Brother Lian, but Sister Han has been talking with you all the time, and only praised her for being sweet yesterday, not like me, how has it changed today? I slapped Sister Han!"

The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, my grandson-in-law is better than the other two grandsons-in-law!"

Sister Feng pulled Han Yuer up, "It's still the old lady who can see people accurately. Looking at this character and appearance, I don't know how to choose I can't compare."

The old lady pretended to be unhappy, "It doesn't matter if you're not good enough, there are burnt papers in Brother Lian's room."

Sister Feng often laughs at herself like this. It made the whole room laugh. Sister Feng sighed: "Seeing that I am going to have no one: it hurts. Ancestor, you asked Sister Yuanyang to leave me a place, and I will be by your side in the future. Good girl! I have saved a lot of hearts by serving my ancestors every day."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "No, you are so arrogant all the time, and you are used to bossing around. If you want to be a girl in front of me, I will definitely give you a few crutches. I'm afraid Brother Lian will feel distressed."

Sister Feng took the tea from Yuanyang and handed it to the old lady, "He doesn't care about the pain!"

Yuanyang smiled and said, "Second grandmother, you even robbed us of this."

Sister Feng hugged her and said, "You girl, thanks to the old lady for having you. She often mentions us, and makes the old lady less angry."

Mrs. Wang asked, "How is the family saving thing going?"

Sister Feng replied: "Second Master Lian has already played in the palace. On the fifteenth day of the first month, Niangniang will drive to Fengyi Garden. At that time, I will invite Niangniang to watch the ceremony and let Baochai enter the door together."

The old lady thought about it, "That would be even more lively!"

She turned her head to Aunt Xue and said, "I always say that Baochai is a good boy with good poetry and books. I don't know which family he will give it to in the future. Now it's given to our family, and I have to thank my auntie a lot!"

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "It's all fate. How can I tell you that as long as they're good, I'll be content."

Then we talked about Wang Zisheng's birthday. Mrs. Wang was not well for several days, and Jia Lian couldn't be idle, so the old lady asked Baoyu and his wife to go shopping. Sister Feng accompanied her to talk, and then came out with Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue Deliberately negotiating with Sister Feng, she followed her in through the big shadow wall of the powder oil. Sister Feng also expected it, and let her sit on the couch inside. Ping'er came up and said, "Grandma, it's okay to attack, and I'm about to take leave with grandma!"

Sister Feng called Xiren to come in, and seeing that she was still dressed as usual, she ordered her to say: "Go to my box and get a few golden hairpins and pearls for Xiren to wear, and pick out some better clothes. Also, four 44 mothers and daughters-in-law, four 44 little girls follow, and two big cars are sent outside."

Said and instructed Xiren: "The person in front of your master is not an ordinary girl. When you go home, you should pay attention to your identity. They are too shabby and shrinking, and they will embarrass the second master."

Xiren hurriedly responded. After a while, Su'er took out two bags and handed them over to Xiren. Xiren went out thanks to Dade. Aunt Xue only drank tea quietly beside her, but her heart was not at peace. Auntie smiled and said, "Auntie, Baochai entered the door immediately. I have another helper, but my aunt has no arms."

Aunt Xue laughed and scolded: "Don't get cheap in front of me and still be good. I'm looking for you today because I have something important to do."

Sister Feng said: "Aunt's affairs are all important. After all, I'm listening!"

Aunt Xue put down the tea bowl in her hand, "Brother Pan and Brother Lian borrowed [*] taels of silver, do you know that?"

Sister Feng nodded: "I know, the second master Lian was determined not to borrow it originally, thinking that if he didn't know how to buy antiques, he would be deceived nine times out of ten. A big temper. Aunt also knows that our grandfather has a soft ear and a good heart. How can we not borrow it just to restrain Brother Pan and prevent him from messing around, so he made a contract, which is almost like a free gift. I'm so busy these days that I don't even bother to ask if he's making any money in this business."

When Aunt Xue said a word, Sister Feng stopped her for a while. But Aunt Xue explained the reasons and the consequences in a succinct manner. "The Xue family has already started the inventory, and the accounts are temporarily frozen. Although the family still has tens of thousands of silver, But you have to be prepared, in case there is something you can't take out, losing face is a trivial matter, if you make a mistake: it will be bad. Therefore, I will discuss it with you."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "What kind of thing is this, I'll ask you to write it clearly in black and white. The five-cent monthly interest rate is extremely low, and it's enough to repay the principal and interest at that time."

Aunt Xue thought about it for a while, then smiled and said, "It's not... It's just that Xue Tao is involved in this matter. He is an honest child, and his parents are gone. How can he afford five thousand taels and hundreds of taels a month? Interest"

So Sister Feng said generously: "What my aunt said is. In this way, I will exempt [*] taels of interest every month and let him find a businessman. Anyway, I am not in a hurry to wait for the money."

Aunt Xue said annoyed: "Not to mention the fifty taels, now it is difficult for him to take out fifty taels. You are so cruel"

Sister Feng smiled and held Aunt Xue's hand, "Why don't you put it on first, Auntie, so that you can earn interest every month. Besides, who doesn't know that the Xue family's wealth can be an enemy of the country, they will never think about defaulting on their debts, good aunt, let me tell you this, Our lord said that if I don't get the money back, he will show me a face. Wei Er and Brother Wu are still young, if he doesn't care, what will I do?"

She started crying. Even though Aunt Xue had many reasons, she couldn't tell. "The Xue family has never defaulted on their debts. It's really embarrassing to ask him to take out so much money all at once. You don't want to be a bad debt, right?"

It seems that Aunt Xue made up her mind to put the five thousand taels on Xue Tad's head, which is very different from what she said to Xue Tad before! Sister Feng frowned slightly and said with a smile, "I'm afraid my aunt misunderstood. It's clear that the second master signed a contract with Brother Pan, we only recognize Brother Pan and have nothing to do with Xue Ta. After all, Xue Ta doesn't owe us any money."

Aunt Xue was at a loss for words, "Your mouth, the old lady is right, she is really tricky. This is an online relationship, Pan'er is just a middleman, not Xue Tad in the end."

Sister Feng sighed: "It seems that my aunt refuses to pay it back."

Aunt Xue was indifferent and was still drinking tea. Sister Feng thought for a while, "Since there is no money to pay, there must be a mortgage. Anyway, I only recognize Brother Pan."

What about [*]%% of the shares! "If my aunt is reluctant to share the shares, then it should be the equivalent of collateral."

Aunt Xue wanted to talk, and Sister Feng begged: "Good aunt, you also give me a little free time. There are a lot of wives and wives out there waiting to do things. I'll talk to you later when I'm free."

After speaking, I asked Ping'er to let people in. Aunt Xue couldn't do anything about it. What is the equivalent mortgage? Aunt Xue was still thinking about it on the way, but she remembered Baochai. It's better to wait for her to enter the door and let her think about it. But how can you hide it from the shrewd phoenix girl Baoqin

Chapter [*] What if I like you? For Aunt Xue, this is not a difficult thing to decide. It just depends on whether the interests are maximized. For the remaining month of the year, Jia's house is busy Among them, the eldest brother in Jingying has also reached the final stage, and he can't even go home for several days. Only the Fengyi Garden is still calm, the desolate leaves can't cover the melodious sound of the piano, and the howling cold wind can't stop the social day. The sound of reciting poems. In a blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching, the year is approaching, and the new year has to be planned. The sisters are sick again, and the poetry club is not happy. In the Pillow Xia Pavilion, Xiang Yun and Bao Qin are playing chess. Xiang Yun and Bao Qin are playing chess. Yun Zhihei, after a few tricks, also sullenly said to Baoqin, "The third sister is ill, and it will become less lively."

Baoqin smiled and said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, it's time for the mother to save her relatives, and Sister Bao's coming out of the pavilion. Everything is lively. I'm looking forward to it!"

Xiang Yun sighed: "What's so lively about this year's New Year's Eve, there will be no programs for this year, just wait until the relatives are over, Sister Bao leaves the cabinet, and many things are waiting for her, so she can't make trouble with us any more. We're going to leave one by one."

Baoqin jokingly said, "How can you imitate Sister Lin's tone today and it doesn't sound like you."

Xiangyun said: "In this garden, apart from the second sister and the third sister Xiuyan and Xichun, there are only you and me who are not from this family."

Baoqin said: "No, there is also Sister Lin."

A sunspot under Xiangyun surrounded Baizi's corner, "Sister Lin is protected by Princess Linhai, she is stronger than others, you don't know it yet"

Only then did Baoqin know, and she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Really?"

Xiangyun took advantage of the situation and picked a few white seeds, "So it's no wonder she's arrogant."

Baoqin said: "But Sister Lin is very good, she speaks and is kind."

Xiangyun spat: "Don't talk about this. Second brother is too affectionate!"

Baoqin smiled and said, "Don't all men do this, not to mention that the second elder brother has a high status and is young and good-looking. When my father was there, he also took me to many places and commented on many local heroes. There are very few like the second brother. The so-called country is so charming and affectionate. Since ancient times, it is impossible to be a hero with beauty. If I were a man, it should be the same."

Xiang Yun laughed and said, "You're not a shy girl. If elder sister Bao is like this, she is also a concubine for the second brother. I don't deserve her."

Baoqin started the layout without making a sound, and killed the opponent's big dragon. "There is an article "Autumn Water" in "Zhuang Zhou". I used this sentence to ask myself when I was in the middle of nowhere. Sister Yun, why don't you try it?"

Xiangyun spat: "I don't want to be a salted fish!"

Suddenly seeing Qipanshan's own pieces being picked out by Baoqin one by one, he said anxiously, "When did you play this piece?"

Baoqin smiled and said, "Just when you were talking about Sister Bao."

Xiangyun looked at the sunspot on the plate in despair, "Forget it, I lost this game again."

He stretched out his hand and disrupted the chess pieces. Baoqin had no choice but to throw the white pieces, "Sister Yun, it's because of your absent-mindedness. In fact, it was far from the end of the world just now, and there are still many ways to survive."

Xiangyun grabbed a handful of chess pieces and let them slide down between his fingers, listening to the crisp sound of them hitting the box, "Bao Qin, when are you going back?"

Baoqin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No, my aunt didn't tell me, and my brother didn't believe it either. I'm afraid I'll have to live for a while."

Xiangyun said worriedly: "If you leave, I will live here. But I sincerely regard this place as my home and don't want to leave."

Baoqin persuaded: "Second brother loves us, living here, he treats me as his own sister, let alone you."

Xiangyun blushed, "Sister Shi, second sister and they are his own sisters! Baoqin, let me ask you a question. You can't tell others."

Baoqin smiled and said, "If you have any shameful words, I will not tell anyone."

Xiang Yun spat: "You made fun of me too, so I won't ask you."

So Baoqin hugged her, "Good sister, just say it!"

Xiang Yun couldn't help it, so he leaned forward and whispered, "What would you do if the second brother told you that he liked you one day?"

Baoqin blushed instantly, "Second brother is very busy, he can count the number of times he sees me, why would he say those words to me?"

Xiang Yun couldn't help but get annoyed: "I mean what if, if the second brother told you, what should I do?"

Baoqin blinked, "But he didn't say it, how could it be?"

"so stupid!"

Xiang Yun said angrily, "I shouldn't have told you."

Who knows Baoqin laughed: "Sister Yun, did the second brother say that to you!"

Baoqin's ears were pinched by Xiangyun, "It hurts, good sister, it hurts! You let go, I won't say anything again!"

Xiang Yun said angrily: "Who told you to talk nonsense, the second brother didn't say that! I'm asking you!"

Baoqin asked again: "Sister Yun, do you hope the second brother told you so?"

"Xue Baoqin!"

Xiang Yun was angry, immediately rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Bao Qin. "Help!"

Baoqin hurriedly circled the room, "I really don't dare this time! Good sister, spare your life!"

Xiangyun finally grabbed Baoqin and pinched her face a few times before giving up. After the trouble, the two took care of their hairpins and sat down again. Baoqin held her head in both hands, "If the second brother is really like that Tell me what else I can do to make him like it! I can't stop it."

Xiang Yun's face was flushed, and he didn't know if it was because of the trouble just now, or if he was embarrassed now, "Then it's the same as Sister Bao."

Baoqin shook her head and said, "If he likes me, he will marry me."

Xiang Yun said: "Is it difficult?"

The two were silent at the same time. Baoqin smiled and said, "I was almost surrounded by Sister Yun, and the second brother didn't tell me that. It's just mediocre."

Xiangyun is also struggling, not knowing what to do, "Not now, but not in the future."

"why"

Baoqin asked. Xiangyun spat: "Can't you see it now? There are eight 8 sisters in our garden, not counting the second sisters, three of the five 55s are already older brothers, and there is still no round to follow. to the two of us"
