Daiyu looked at the excited appearance of the two of them, thought about it and admonished: "Baoyu can't mix in the rouge workshop all day long, if your uncle knows about it, everyone will not have a good face." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info If you want to make any new rouge, we can only quietly tinker with it ourselves in the house, and then let Qingwen go to the workshop to watch them do it. Nor should we afford to fall behind in our homework. ”

Baoyu smiled all over her face, nodded her head again and again, and Qingwen also smiled.

Daiyu saw that he listened, and also relieved his heart, and when he returned to the house, he asked Wang Shun to send someone to the flower carpenter to inquire about the good quality of the big food roses, first set two months of roses and flowers, and spent a hundred taels of silver to order a large number of flower seedlings, so that Zhuangzi arranged for people to plant them in batches.

Later, he went to the glaze factory to order several sets of tools for making flower dew, and the tools and packaging for making rouge were also reordered, and the workers inside also inspected them, sent away a few idle ones, and selected some people from the Lin family's children.

Baoyu and Qingwen first quietly tried it a few times in the inner courtyard of the Lin family, and the quality of the flower dew was stable, and then Qingwen slowly taught it to the people in the workshop.

Lin Daiyu saw that they were doing seriously, so she sent Wang Shun to find a good shop on the street.

It just so happened that the owner of a cloth shop on Guanqian Street wanted to go back to his hometown in Hedong, and refused to lease it, so he had to sell it with a silver ticket and a land deed.

Daiyu went to see the shop in person, located in the middle of several silk and jewelry shops, a little far away from the Xuan Miaoguan, and there was a pen and ink shop around, so it also looked a little noisy and quiet.

Lin Daiyu saw it, so she asked the price of the shop, and Wang Shun hurriedly replied: "They are in a hurry to clear the goods, and they want a total of 4,000 taels of silver." I took a closer look at their goods, although they are not the best materials, it is still cost-effective for us to sell them in those two shops. ”

Lin Daiyu thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so she asked Wang Shun to negotiate with the owner of the shop, and then took the silver and sent it.

Back at the Lin Mansion, Baoyu heard that he had gone to see the shop, so he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and went over to have a look.

Lin Daiyu was helpless, thinking that Jia Zheng had not come back from the palace to find the map of Suzhou, and it would not be inconvenient to go to see it again, so she took the silver and went to Guanqian Street again.

When I arrived at the door of the shop, I suddenly saw that the shop was surrounded by people, and the owner of the shop cried and let people spit on his face, and stood at the door and was pushed around.

Without waiting for Lin Daiyu's orders, Wang Shun hurriedly inquired. It turned out that the son of the owner of the shop owed 1,500 taels of gambling debts outside and did not pay them, and the person who asked for the silver came to the door.

The owner of the shop almost cried that the shop would be sold, and the money would be repaid immediately, but those people just refused to believe it, and they had to take the goods and the title deed in the shop as collateral.

These people were pushing, and the shop owner suddenly saw Wang Shun's figure, ignoring the rude hands and feet of those who demanded debts, and hurriedly squeezed over.

Wang Shun was startled, and the owner of the shop grabbed him and said to those who asked for debts: "Look, look, my shop is sold, and I will be able to repay your money immediately!" ”

The debtors immediately surrounded them, and one of them looked at Wang Shun and said, "Boy, which slave are you that ran out to get involved in our affairs?" Buy this shop, do you have any money, don't be his pretense, come and deceive us, right? ”

Wang Shun was secretly annoyed that the shop owner had ripped him into the water, and on the other hand, he was worried that these guys, who were not good people at first glance, would disturb Lin Daiyu, and suddenly sweated.

At this moment, Baoyu saw a familiar figure on the opposite side of the shop, sitting at the tea stall over there drinking tea and chatting with a richly dressed person.

Baoyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and shouted at the man, "Brother Liu! Why are you here? ”

It was Liu Xianglian sitting on the tea stall.

Liu Xianglian suddenly heard an acquaintance calling him, raised his eyes and saw that it was Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, I met two old people in a row." As he spoke, he asked Baoyu to sit down and introduced him: "This is Uncle Xue Xue Xue, and you still have a relationship with each other." ”

Liu Xianglian said and explained to Xue Zhen: "The dumb overlord of the Venerable Mansion is now living in his house!" ”

Only then did Xue Zhen understand that the rich boy in front of him who had not yet grown up was the second son of Rongguo Mansion, the younger brother of the virtuous concubine in the palace, and the candidate for the golden beetle son-in-law in the eyes of Aunt Xue and others.

He didn't dare to slack off, and quickly stood up and saluted.

Baoyu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, you are not only a friend of Brother Liu, but also a brother of Brother Xue, of course, my brother and friend." ”

Xue Zhen also smiled and sat down.

Baoyu asked the two of them how they got here, and Liu Xianglian said: "I was invited by a friend to come over and show people the field for a few days, and I don't want to meet someone who owes gambling debts and doesn't pay them." He gestured to the shop.

Jia Baoyu couldn't help but smile when he saw the direction of Liu Xianglian's finger, it was the group of shop owners.

Liu Xianglian saw him laughing inexplicably, and asked, "What, does this boss have something to do with the Zun Mansion?" ”

Baoyu smiled: "The owner of this shop has nothing to do with my family, but the little guy he pulled is our family." I was planning to quietly open a shop to play, but I didn't expect to encounter this incident and meet two brothers. ”

Liu Xianglian also smiled and said, "This is really a coincidence. Then he beckoned a man from the side, and said, "Go back first, and come back in two days to collect the money." Tell your host that's what I'm saying. ”

The man was very puzzled, and when he saw that Liu Xianglian was entertaining a teenage rich boy, he didn't want to ask too much, but just glanced at Xue Zhen suspiciously.

Xue Zhen nodded slightly, and the man roared, and said among the crowd: "Let's go, the boss will give you another day, and then prepare the silver for us to get it." ”

The shop owner nodded hurriedly. The man then ordered a young man to be dragged out of a carriage not far away, and a bruised and swollen young man was carried and thrown at the feet of the shopkeeper.

The shop owner was in tears, and hurriedly trembled to ask people to ask for a doctor, but Wang Shun couldn't see it, borrowed an ox cart, helped the shop owner carry the young man into the carriage, and asked a small guy to follow him to the hospital.

Jia Baoyu, Liu Xianglian and others exchanged a few words, worried that Lin Daiyu was still in the carriage, but they were afraid that they were worried about them, so they said a few words and left.

Liu Xianglian had already seen the carriage over there, and she didn't keep him, so she made an appointment to come out for a drink next time, and Baoyu responded with a smile.

Lin Daiyu saw that the people here were also scattered, and the rest of the things were left to Wang Shun to deal with, so she let the little girl drive the carriage back. Baoyu sat on the wheel and told Daiyu about Liu Xianglian and Xue Zhenlai.

Daiyu knew that he was in contact with Liu Xianglian, and she also knew that this person had some heroic spirit; Speaking of Xue Zhen, it reminded her of Mrs. Xing's niece Xing Xiuyan's family, who now lives in the suburbs of Suzhou, renting the house and land in the temple and living in the Panxiang Temple of the Xuan Tomb where Miaoyu once lived.

Before they went out, Miaoyu also made a special post to invite Daiyu and Baoyu to drink tea, and asked them to visit this friend on their behalf.
