Chapter 775: Ruby

Jia Yun left her mother's uncle's house angrily, she was worried in her heart, and while thinking, she lowered her head and walked, but she didn't expect to bump into a drunk man, which startled Jia Yun. The drunkard scolded, "Fuck you! I'm blind, and you actually touched me." ”

Jia Yun was busy trying to hide, but was caught by the drunk, and when he looked at the other side, it was none other than Ni Er, the next-door neighbor. It turned out that this Ni Er was a pimp, specializing in usury, eating spare money in gambling houses, and drinking and fighting. Now he was asking for interest money from the debtor's house, and he came back drunk, but he was touched by Jia Yun, and he was not angry, and he was about to hit him.

I heard the man shout, "Stop, second! ”

Ni Er heard the voice of an acquaintance, and when he opened his drunken eyes, he saw that it was Jia Yun, and hurriedly let go of his hand and smiled: "It turned out to be Jia Erye, I should die, I really should die." Where are you going now?"

Jia Yun: "I can't tell you, it's boring again." ”

Ni Er said: "You might as well tell me if there is anything wrong, and I will be angry for you." These three streets and six alleys, depending on who he is, someone has offended my neighbors who are drunk King Kong Ni Er, and they will tell others to leave their homes!"

Jia Yun: "Second brother, don't be angry, listen to me tell you the reason." As he spoke, he told Ni Er about Bu Shiren.

Ni Er was furious when he heard this: "If it weren't for Uncle Ling, I wouldn't be able to scold me well, I'm really angry with Ni Er." Then you don't have to worry, I have a few taels of silver here, and if you want to use anything, just take it to the comprador. But there is only one thing, you and I have been neighbors all these years, and I have a name outside to put an account, but you have never opened your mouth with me. I don't know if you hate me for being a bad skin, afraid of lowering your status, and I don't know if you are afraid that I am difficult and the interest is heavy. If I say that I am afraid of heavy interest money, I do not need interest money on this silver, and I do not need to write a contract, if I say that I am afraid of lowering your status, I will not dare to lend it to you, and we will go away. As he spoke, he took out a roll of silver from his bag.

Jia Yun thought to herself: "Although Ni Er is a scoundrel on weekdays, he is famous for being chivalrous because of people. If you don't receive this love from him today, I'm afraid that he will be angry, but I'm afraid that something will happen. It's better to borrow his money and return it to him another day. ”

After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Second brother, you are really a good man, how could I never think of you and open my mouth to you." But it's just that I see that the people you associate with are people who have the courage and the ability to do something, and you don't care about those who are incapable like us. If I open my mouth to you, will you lend it to me? How dare I not appreciate the kindness I received today? I just went home and wrote an appointment as usual. ”

Ni Er laughed: "Good talker, but I can't hear this." After saying the four words of friendship and friendship, how to give him the account so that he can earn interest money. Since you lend him money for the interest on him, it is not a fellowship. Needless to say, here is fifteen taels or three pieces of silver, and you can use it to buy something. You don't need to write any deed, but give me back the money as soon as possible, and let me give it to those who have hope. ”

Jia Yun listened, took the silver, and said with a smile: "I won't write it, what's the hurry." ”

Ni Er smiled: "This is it." It's getting dark, and I don't let the tea let the wine, and I'm still over there for some business, please go back. I beg you to bring a letter to the housekeepers, telling them to close the door and go to bed early, and I will not go home. If there is any matter of urgency, tell our daughter to come to me early tomorrow morning at the house of the horse dealer King Shortlegs. ”

Jia Yun happened to encounter this incident, and her heart was also very rare, thinking that Ni Er was really interesting, but I was afraid that he was drunk and generous for a while, and he would double it up tomorrow, so what should he do, and he hesitated in his heart. Suddenly thought, "Okay, when that thing is done, you can also double it back to him." ”

He went all the way to the money shop and weighed the silver, fifteen taels and three cents. Seeing that Ni Er didn't lie, Jia Yun became more and more happy, took the money and came to the house, and first went next door to give Ni Er's letter to his wife before going home. When he saw his mother pulling a thread on the kang and saw him come in, she asked where he had been for the day. Jia Yun was afraid that his mother would be angry, so he didn't talk about Bu Shiren, but only said that he was waiting for Second Uncle Lian to come in Xifu.

The next morning, I got up early in the morning and washed my face, then went out of the south gate, bought ice and musk deer in the big incense shop, and went to Rongguo Mansion. After inquiring about Jia Lian going out, Jia Yun came to the back and came to the door of Jia Lian's courtyard, only to see a few small servants sweeping the yard with big brooms. Suddenly, I saw Zhou Rui's family coming out of the door and calling the little guys: "Don't sweep it yet, grandma is out." ”

Jia Yun hurriedly went up and asked with a smile: "Where is the second aunt going?"

Zhou Ruijia said: "The old lady called, it must be some kind of ruler." ”

I saw a group of people hugging Sister Feng out. Jia Yun knew that Sister Feng liked flattery and pomp, so she respectfully rushed up to say goodbye. Sister Feng didn't even look at it, she still walked forward, and only asked his mother, "Why don't you come to us for a walk?"

Jia Yun: "It's just that my body is not very good, but I often remember my aunt, I want to come and have a look, but I can't come." ”

Sister Feng smiled: "You are lying, if I didn't mention her, you wouldn't say that she missed me." ”

Jia Yun said with a smile: "My nephew is not afraid of thunder, does he dare to lie in front of his elders? Last night, he also mentioned his aunt, saying that his aunt was born weak and had a lot of things. If it was a little worse, I would have been so tired that I didn't know what to do. ”

Sister Feng was full of laughter when she heard this, and she couldn't help but stop: "Why are you two chewing me behind your back?"

Jia Yun: "There is a reason, just because I have a very good friend who has a few money at home, and now he is opening an incense shop." Just because he donated a general sentence on his body, he chose Yunnan a while ago and didn't know where it was, and even his family members brought it together, and he didn't open the incense shop here. So he saved up the accounts, and gave the people who should have given them, and the cheap ones who should have been cheap, like this delicate and expensive goods, they were all distributed to relatives and friends. He gave me a total of four taels of borneol and four taels of musk. ”

"So I consulted with my mother that if I wanted to buy it, not only would I not be able to sell it for the original price, but whoever bought it with the money would be a very rich man, and he would be bent down for a few pennies, and if he wanted to give it away, there would be no one worthy of it, but he would be worthless and resell it. That's why I think of my aunt, and in previous years I saw my aunt buy these things with a big bag of silver. Not to mention that the concubine entered the palace this year, it is under this Duanyang Festival, needless to say, these spices are naturally ten times more used than usual. Therefore, thinking about it, only filial piety is appropriate, and it is not a waste of this thing. As he spoke, he held up a brocade box.

Sister Feng was about to hold Duanyang's festival and buy spices and bait, and suddenly saw Jia Yun like this, and after listening to this article, she was proud and liked it in her heart, so she ordered Feng'er: "Take what Brother Yun brought it, send it home, and hand it over to Ping'er." ”

He also said: "Seeing you know what is good or bad like this, no wonder your uncle often mentions you, saying that you can speak well and have insight in your heart." ”

Because she saw Baoyu yesterday, Jia Yun came in again after eating, and saw two little guys playing chess with tea and cigarettes, hoeing medicine, and arguing with each other to win the car; there were four or five people who led the spring, swept the flowers, picked up the clouds, and accompanied the crane, and picked up small finches on the eaves to play. Jia Yun entered the courtyard, stomped her foot, and said, "The monkeys are naughty, I'm here." ”

When the little guys saw Jia Yun coming in, they all dispersed. Jia Yun entered the room, sat on a chair and asked, "Didn't Second Master Bao come down?"

Mingyan said, "I didn't come down today." What does the second master want to say, I'll go to the sentry for you. So saying, he went out.

Jia Yun came to Qifeizhai to inquire about Baoyu, who knew that Baoyu went to the palace of Beijing in the morning. Jia Yun sat in a daze until noon, inquired about Sister Feng's return, and wrote a ticket to get the right card. When he arrived outside the hospital, he ordered someone to report it, and Cai Ming walked out and handed over the cards to Jia Yun together. Jia Yun took it, saw that the batch of silver was two hundred taels, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, turned over and walked to the silver vault, handed it to the person who collected the tickets, and received the silver. When he went home and told his mother, it was natural that mother and son were happy. The next day, Jia Yun first found Ni Er and returned the former silver to him.

Jia Baoyu took a bowl and poured tea into the teapot. I only heard the back say: "Second master is careful to burn his hands! Let's pour it." ”

A girl walked up as she spoke, and took the bowl. Baoyu was startled: "Where are you?" suddenly came, and it startled me. ”

The girl handed over the tea and said, "I was in the backyard, and I just came in through the back door of the inner room, didn't the second master hear the footsteps?"

While drinking tea, Baoyu looked at the girl carefully, wearing a few half-new clothes, but with good black hair, a long face, a delicate figure, very pretty and clean. When Baoyu saw it, he smiled and asked, "Are you also a person in my house?"

The girl said, "Yes." ”

Baoyu: "Since it's in this house, why don't I recognize it?"

When the girl heard this, she sneered: "There are many people that the master doesn't recognize, how can I be the only one?" I never hand over tea and water, take the east and the west, and don't do anything in sight, where can the master recognize it?"

Baoyu asked, "Why don't you do what you see?"

The girl said, "It's hard for me to answer that." It's just that there is a sentence to reply to the second master, yesterday there was a Yun'er who came to the second master. I thought that the second master was not free, so I called Mingyan back to him and told him to get up early today, but the second master went to Beifu again. ”

As soon as he said this, I saw Qiu Wen and Bi Jin laughing and entering the courtyard, and the two of them carried a bucket of water, and they were splashing their clothes with one hand, and the girl was busy welcoming them. Autumn Pattern and Blue Mark are complaining, "You wet my skirt", and the other one said, "You kicked my shoes".

Suddenly, I saw a person come out to fetch water, and when the two of them looked, it was no one else, it turned out to be Xiaohong. Both of them were surprised, put down the water, and hurriedly went into the room to look around, but there was no one else but Baoyu, and they felt very uncomfortable.

There were only things to prepare for the bath, and when Baoyu took off her clothes, the two of them took the door out, and when they walked to the room over there, they looked for Xiaohong and asked her, "What did you say in the house just now?"

Xiaohong said, "Why have I ever been in the house? Just because my handkerchief is gone, I went back to look for it." Unexpectedly, the second master asked for tea, and asked the sisters to have no one, but I went in and poured the tea, and the sisters came. ”

Qiu Wen listened and scolded: "Shameless obscene thing! Seriously, I asked you to carry water, you said that there was something, but asked us to go, you can wait to do this dark thing." Can't we keep up with you? You also look in the mirror, and you don't deserve to hand tea and water?"

"Tomorrow I will tell them that we will not move anything that asks for tea and water to send the east and west, just tell her to go." ”

Qiu Wen said: "In this way, it is better for us to disperse and let her be in this house." ”

The two of you were making a fuss about one sentence and one sentence to me, when I saw an old lady come in and spread Sister Feng's words: "Someone will bring a florist to plant trees tomorrow, and tell you to strictly prohibit it, and don't mix clothes and skirts to dry." ”

Qiu Wen asked, "I don't know who brought in the craftsman to supervise the work tomorrow?"

The woman said, "What are you talking about Brother Yun on the back porch." ”

Autumn Pattern and Bi Zhen listened to it, but they didn't know, so they just asked for other things. That Xiaohong heard it, but she understood it in her heart, and knew that it was the person she saw in the study yesterday.

It turned out that this Xiaohong's original surname was Lin and her nickname was Hongyu, just because the jade character violated the names of Lin Daiyu and Baoyu, she hid this character and called her Xiaohong. Originally an old servant of the Rongguo Mansion for generations, her parents are now in charge of various real estate affairs. This red jade is sixteen years old, because of the season of the Grand View Garden, she is divided into Yihong Courtyard, but it is also quiet and elegant. Unexpectedly, he later ordered people to come in and live, but this place was occupied by Baoyu.

Although this Hongyu is an ignorant girl, because of her original appearance, she really wants to climb up in her heart, and she always has to play in front of Baoyu. It's just that the people around Baoyu are all sharp teeth and claws, where can they intervene. Unexpectedly, there was only some news today, and I was maliciously attacked by Qiu Wen and others, and I was already half discouraged.

was depressed, and suddenly heard the old grandmother talking about Jia Yun, and unconsciously moved in his heart, so he returned to the room sullenly, slept on the bed and secretly calculated, turning over and over, and there was no one to catch. Suddenly, I heard a low voice outside the window: "Hongyu, I have picked up your handkerchief here." ”

Hongyu heard this, and hurriedly walked out to see, it was none other than Jia Yun. Hongyu's face was embarrassed, and she asked, "Where did the second master pick it up?"

Jia Yun smiled: "Come here, I'll tell you." As he spoke, he came up and pulled her. The red jade hurriedly turned around and ran, but tripped over the threshold.
