Lai Er frowned and recognized it for a long time, but he didn't remember who this person was. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info saw that this person was not annoyed, and still smiled and said: "The second master must be a noble person who forgets things, but forgets me." Last year, the young master of your brother's family donated officials, do you remember? ”

Lai Ercai remembered that this was the companion room of Mrs. Wang of Rongfu, and the son-in-law of Zhou Rui's family, named Leng Zixing, was an antique dealer. This person has a wide range of connections, and I don't know how many peddlers, pawns, and dignitaries have interacted with. Previously, because Lai Da wanted to buy an official for his son, it was Leng Zixing's thread. has been a slave for generations, and the family wants to be an official, and Lai Er also tried his best to promote such a big thing, and it was then that he met Leng Zixing once.

Thinking of this, Lai Er hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Brother Leng, I haven't seen you for a long time." In the past, I was a nephew, thanks to your help. Where have you made your fortune lately? Is everything okay at home? ”

Leng Zixing smiled: "Your eldest brother knows about my family's affairs. However, the north and south ran to buy and sell, collect a few antique porcelain, calligraphy and painting fans, and pass the boredom. The second master is not in charge of big and small affairs in Ningfu, how can he have the leisure to come to Suzhou? ”

As soon as Lai Eryi heard this, he must mention the glory of his master's family, and his face became bright, and he said to Leng Zixing: "Brother Leng has always been hand-eyed, why don't you know about the recent affairs in the capital?" ”

Leng Zixing said: "I didn't want to offend a gentleman because I had a drink with a few sons and brothers in Beijing in the summer. This guy is the most small-bellied chicken intestine, and he didn't dare to do anything to the other people, so he made a name to check my guilt. Thinking about it left and right, it is also obscure, it is better to hide out and be quiet, I happened to meet the second master of the Xue family on the road, so I walked with him, and I only arrived in Suzhou today. As a result, no one else knew where I was, and naturally correspondence between Kyori and other places was cut off. ”

Lai Erman was already triumphant in his heart, and immediately held the three-inch short beard on his chin, and said happily: "As soon as Brother Leng hid out, he happened to avoid a big incident in Beijing. Today's saint is the unprecedented Ming Jun, in September issued a holy decree down, all the palace concubines, there are fathers and brothers in the capital have a permanent property, can be built according to the system of garden, hand the fold on the book to invite the mother out of the palace to meet. Isn't that a big deal, you say? ”

Leng Zixing said "oops", beat his chest and said: "It's not just a big thing, it's obviously a big business, but I hate that I missed it." It's all to blame for that narrow-minded man, who mistook my business! ”

Lai Er smiled and said, "Don't worry, business still has to be done." Brother Leng is not here, the shopkeepers in those shops see that there is money to be made, can they still be lazy? Besides, there are sisters who have heads and faces in the palace, and each family has to build a garden, and now only Wu Guifei's family is the only one who has risen. ”

Leng Zixing said: "Even so, it's too late to stock up now, and it's really a big mistake." He asked Lai Er again: "Having said that, I just came over, and I saw a person's side face on the rouge street in the west of the city, which looked very much like the second master's house." Could it be that there are happy events in the house? ”

Lai Er squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "That's exactly what this is for." Your lady's mother-in-law, wasn't she the second wife from the Rong Mansion who was originally following? The eldest daughter she gave birth to, who was sent to the palace early, was favored by the Holy Family, and now she is already a noble concubine. Therefore, the two governments discussed working together to build a garden and take the concubine home to save relatives. Zhen Ye and I came to Suzhou for exactly this. ”

Leng Zixing smiled and said, "I said, it turned out to be their family." This is a rare event, and the identities of the second master and the uncle must also rise. ”

Lai Er smiled: "It's just a slave who serves people, what kind of identity do you talk about?" It's only been seven or eight days since I came out, and I haven't bought 30% of the things, and half of the silver has been removed. ”

Leng Zixing saw that he was really full of sadness, so he asked him: "The two mansions have a great business, and it is when the flowers are brocade and the fire oil is cooking, how can you be annoyed by these Xu Yinzi?" ”

Lai Er's previous expression had shrunk by two or three points, and when he heard him ask, he smiled bitterly and said: "Although it is said that it is a big business, it only looks good on the outside, and it is empty on the inside." The one who gave birth to us was a careless person, 100,000 taels of silver, he took 20,000 yuan out first, and only took some goods in the silk shop of his first aunt's house, and now it is far away! ”

Leng Zixing smiled: "Since the second master is embarrassed, I have a way, I don't know if it will succeed or not." ”

Lai Er said: "If Brother Leng can give an idea, Lai Er will definitely remember this feeling, no matter if it is a good idea or a bad idea, let's say it first!" ”

Leng Zixing said with a smile: "Then the uncle of the Lin family is gone, let your master adopt the orphan daughter of his family, the huge family property, what kind of emergency and difficult situation can't be saved?" Besides, if you don't have cash for a while, I recommend someone to you, as long as you tell him, when the price will be given, it's easy to say. ”

Lai Er listened to Leng Zixing's first half of the words, and his heart became cold, secretly thinking that this surnamed Leng was really ruthless, and he blatantly said these words to rob people's property. Hearing him say that he wanted to recommend someone, he couldn't help but put some hope on it, and asked, "Who is Brother Leng recommending?" ”

Leng Zixing said: "You all know this person. In the past, the sister of Mrs. Rongfu Wang married the Xue family, and the wife of the Xue family had a sister-in-law named Xue Pan, and a concubine named Xue Zhen. At present, it is this second master who is in charge of business everywhere, and he happens to be in Suzhou, you see that the shop in front of him is his family, and he is related to your master. Whether it's some satin cloth on credit, or buying some rare ornaments, let your Zhen Ye talk to him, and it's almost done. ”

Lai Er knew that although Xue Zhen was in charge of the Xue family's business affairs, the power was still in Xue Pan's hands, and he was known as the dumb overlord. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this matter was promising, so he hurriedly thanked Leng Zixing, said goodbye and went back to find Jia Zhen.

In the inn where they stayed, Jia Zhen and Lai Er summed it up, and suddenly felt that the willows were bright, and the confusion like a headless fly before was swept away. wrote a post immediately, sent a small servant to deliver it to Xue Zhen, and before the evening, Xue Zhen came over, Jia Zhen called a table of banquets in the inn, and even Lai Er was also used as a companion, and the three of them drank and ate, and talked freely in the north and the south. Although Xue Zhen is a concubine, his temperament is much more shrewd and intelligent than Xue Pan, so he also read half a belly of books, and has a little literary temperament, and he has seen the world in the north and south, and his speech is inevitably more broad, and then he talks about the customs and customs of various places, and all kinds of strange women in the Chu Pavilion of the Qinglou make Jia Zhen so happy that he directly introduces Xue Zhen as a confidant in his life. Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten his business, and after a few rounds, when he was drunk and his words were all gone, he told his difficulties.

Xue Zhen already knew that his mother took his eldest brother's sister to live in Jiafu, just to get closer to the Jia family. Now that the eldest lady of Jiafu has become a concubine, how can they let go? At the moment, he was full of promises, but he only said that he had written to ask his mother's brother, and here he asked people to prepare.

Jia Zhen was overjoyed, and ordered the inn to make another high-quality wine, and prepare a pair of tables to send up. So he pushed the table with Xue Zhen, and after a while, he was commensurate with brothers, and talked until the fourth watch, and then let the inn prepare another room, and everyone fell asleep.
