It is said that the prince went to the Xue family's courtyard to see his sister-in-law first. Aunt Xue was also crying at this time, Xue Baoqin held a stack of handkerchiefs and persuaded her, and when she saw him come in, she hurriedly said hello softly.

Wang Ziteng sighed lightly, sat down beside him, and looked at his sister for a while before saying, "You don't have to be sad, it's better to understand this time than later." ”

Aunt Xue cried: "Even if there are a thousand Bao girls, there is always one that is good." What kind of heart does she have? ”

The prince sighed: "She is also bitter, her man is not a problem, Zhu'er is gone again, except for Baoyu, she has no hope." Although Pan'er is a nerd, from now on, he is still a little strong. ”

Aunt Xue immediately stopped crying and said happily: "Yes, my Pan'er is a good one, otherwise the money will not come back, I am afraid that his sister will be in it for the rest of her life." ”

Wang Ziteng said: "Today, Pan'er gave her such a big loss, and the three of you are angry, more than half of the silver will be returned, and the rest will not be able to run away if you want to." Hengzhu is still the second wife of Rongguo Mansion, will she really not communicate in the future? In the past, I was not as good as a generation in their house, but now that I look at it, I am afraid that I have let Enhou coax it, and it is hidden deep enough. Besides, Jia Cong's kid is coming in an infinite number of days, and Pan'er can't catch up with the horse. For the sake of Pan'er, I advise you, don't be separated from their family in the end. ”

When he entered the courtyard gate, someone went back to Xue Pan Baochai, and the two of them hurriedly came to the house when they heard the news, and they just arrived at the door to hear these words. Xue Pan walked in and said with a smile: "Uncle is still worried about this!" They have fought several times in the two rooms in the house, Cong'er and I have a good relationship, and he gave me all the bottom of my aunt and their old lady. I also see that Jia Baoyu is not as good as Cong'er. We don't have to worry about their second room, just communicate with the big house. ”

Wang Ziteng glared at him and said, "What do you know? The reason why the two of them fought was because their old lady was too partial, and the grace was clearly much stronger than Cun Zhou, and she wanted Cun Zhou to preside over the mansion. In the past, she was still young and took the name of her mother, so she was forced to pretend to be crazy and stupid for so many years. In the past two years, she can't hold back her old age, so she naturally wants to get up. Jia Cunzhou is not a capable person. Now the old lady's private room is also posted to the second room. The bottom is empty, and no one in Nafu can stop Jia Enhou anymore. As the saying goes, break bones and connect tendons. After a while, when they are born in the house, the old lady and the second room will no longer be able to get up and make waves, and the two rooms will be reconciled or not? ”

Xue Pan was stunned.

Wang Ziteng said again: "Those words Jia Cong said to you, although they helped your family, why didn't they use your power to empty their second room and Shi Taijun's private treasury?" In the final analysis, it was for his father's status in the house. ”

Xue Baochai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Where does he look like an eight-year-old child, I can't see through it for half a minute, he can see through it all, and he is a few years older than him for nothing." ”

Wang Ziteng smiled: "You don't have to be presumptuous, how big are your ideas?" It's a girl again, and she's always confused about big things. The ashamed Baochai hurriedly lowered his head. Besides, those words may not have been thought by himself, and most of them were taught to him. It's just that I'm not sure who taught it, but if it is Jia Enhou, it doesn't look like it. ”

Xue Pan hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter who taught him, being good to me is a good brother, really a good brother!" ”

Wang Ziteng nodded and said, "You can have more contact with this kid, and I will be able to help you in the future." He looked around and asked, "What about the tadpole?" ”

Baoqin said: "There is something going out in the shop." ”

The prince Teng then said: "The second master of Rongguo Mansion is here. It turns out that Jia Cong's kid has come up with an idea for them again, and I think it's good. Because Jia Zheng's words were repeated.

When he heard this, Xue Pan jumped up and shouted: "No! If you don't pay back the money, you won't give them jade. ”

Wang Ziteng said: "For Jia Zheng like this, if no one pays attention to him, he will take chicken feathers as an arrow, if you are strong, he will be weak, and they will not be able to rely on it this time." In my opinion, it's better to give them face, just to give Cong'er face. ”

Xue Pan and Aunt Xue glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both had a little hesitation on their faces.

Wang Ziteng still needed to be persuaded again, but Baochai said with a straight face: "Uncle, it's not that the niece doesn't look at the uncle's face, it's really the old lady in their family, and the niece can't trust her." She is more cunning than her aunt, and she is a senior and an elder. Our family's business has also become normal in the past two years, and 270,000 yuan is really a lot. If she is to settle the bill, my brother will not be able to tell what she will do, in case there is a good thing, it will not be clear. ”

Xue Pan hurriedly said: "What my sister said is very true! In addition, she is so old, she falls carelessly, and how is it good to die and have empty debts. ”

Wang Ziteng and Aunt Xue shouted and scolded in unison: "Nonsense! ”

Xue Pan forked his hands and said with a face full of grievances: "I'm not cursing her!" What I'm saying is true! Is there such a thing? Who would have expected that? ”

Baochai actually stood up and said to her mother and uncle: "Although my brother's words are absurd, it is not impossible. For example, Shi Taijun has three long and two short, according to common sense, I am afraid that these debts will be divided into more than half of their eldest master. It's no wonder that the old man is willing to pay off the debt for the second room! Haven't we fallen short again? ”

Wang Ziteng was also stunned, and only after a while did he say: "What you two said is not unreasonable. ”

Baochai said: "I just thought about it, and I have a little calculation, so let's talk about my uncle, mother, and brother." Why don't you do that? At first, when my aunt borrowed money, our family didn't say that we wanted money, so we didn't count the previous ones. My brother and mother turned around and carefully checked the money left by their family, if there is a very small fraction, we can also be generous to go for them, horizontal or relatives? The remaining large amount is calculated according to the interest of ordinary banks, and if the money is repaid every month, it will naturally be profitable. However, the debt must be transferred to the second master of their family, or Baoyu will also be successful, and the old lady will not be able to do it. If the two men refused, they left it to their aunt. After signing, and they have really repaid it for half a year without arrears, they can pay them back the jade first. Or pay off the principal in full within half a year, and look at our relatives for the sake of our family. The day of repayment of the money will be repaid. If they wanted to get the jade back, they couldn't unless they ransom it with cash. ”

Xue Pan applauded: "Very, very, very!" What my sister said is very true! ”

Bao Chai said, "They don't have to worry about the damage to the jade in our house. His jade is not worth much to our family, but it is just an ordinary collateral, what are we going to do? If you can exchange the letter seal of Rongguofu, it will be done. Xue Pan Ziteng laughed, and Baochai also laughed.

Wang Ziteng nodded and said, "That's it, what Bao Yatou said is reasonable." Nai said to Xue Pan, "If you have three points of your sister-in-law, you will wake up laughing in the ground." ”

The three members of the Xue family who said it immediately had red eyes. Xue Pan said guiltily: "Why did my uncle come and talk about me again." I already knew that I was a useless person, and I only wandered out every day, and I didn't have any ideas to do. And next year, I will go to the shop to learn how to do business. ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "If you are willing to give birth to the student's will, then the dragon will also lay eggs." You just don't want to cause trouble, so I burn incense and worship the Buddha every day. ”

Xue Pan smirked twice, and sighed: "Cong'er can get such good clothes for his sister, but I can't get them." ”

Baochai hurriedly said: "Don't mention that matter!" It's just that I fell for the old lady of their family, and it had nothing to do with my brother. ”

Wang Ziteng asked casually: "What clothes?" ”

Xue Pan said: "I heard that there are two kinds of cloaks of the clouded leopard provided by Russia, one is woven with the hair on the head of the wild duck, which is called the feather, and the other is made of peacock feathers called finch gold." I searched for two days, but I couldn't find half of it. ”

Wang Ziteng had no interest in what kind of clothes and cloaks, and he didn't know what they were at all, so he said: "It's just two clothes, I'll ask for you." ”

Baochai hurriedly said: "Now that we live in my uncle's house, we are already bothered, how dare we trouble my uncle because of this trivial matter." ”

Wang Ziteng said: "Just ask, what's the trouble." Because he stood up and smiled, "Jia Cunzhou is still waiting, I'll go and talk to him." ”

Xue Pan smiled and made a gesture with him: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Then the prince returned to the front. Jia Zheng waited in his study until the sweat came down, sometimes standing up and sometimes pacing, his neck twisted a little sore, and finally heard someone outside shouting "Master is back", and hurriedly sat back on the chair. Hearing that the prince Teng entered the door, he hurriedly stood up again: "Ziteng! How is it? ”

Wang Ziteng shook his head and said, "They can't trust your ancestors. "Because of Baochai's words.

Jia Zheng was anxious: "The old lady is a dignified Duchess of the country, I can't compare with Baoyu, and the people in my family are more and more incomparable, why don't they believe it?" ”

Wang Ziteng couldn't help sneering in his heart, and only said on his face: "Now the Xue family refuses to change her name, and would rather remain in my sister's name." ”

Jia Zheng stumbled and said: "How is it good!" ”

Wang Ziteng said: "Don't worry, they will be able to hide the jade properly, and there will be no damage." ”

Jia Zheng became more and more anxious: "That jade was originally given by God to Baoyu to protect himself and put it in his mouth when he beat his mother's womb, how could it be left in their house for so long!" If there is no support from the jade, how can it be good for the treasure jade to have three long and two short. Ziteng, bother you to persuade me again? ”

Wang Ziteng said: "I'll try again in a few days, but it's extremely difficult for me to see." ”

Jia Zheng hurriedly bowed to him: "Please." Then he went back with peace of mind.

Wang Ziteng looked at his back in surprise for a long time, and said to himself: "He shouldn't believe it, right?" ”

Jia Zheng returned to Rongguo Mansion to give the matter back to Jia's mother, and finally smiled: "Ziteng said, he will persuade him in a few days, and he will be angry when he wants to come to the Xue family, but I am afraid that it will be good if his anger will dissipate after a while." ”

Jia Mu sighed: "I wish so. ”

Jia Lian waited until everything in the house calmed down before coming back, when he returned to the courtyard, Jia Yu shouted that the people who went to guard had not left, and when he saw him, he went over to shout "Second Master", and a leader whispered to sù, "The master is afraid that the second grandmother will let the old lady's people shout away, so that we will guard here, and the second grandmother will not be allowed to leave the hospital." ”

Jia Lian couldn't help but feel warm until his heart, and sighed: "The master bothered. ”

When he returned to the house, he listened to Sister Feng Ping'er laughing and talking about coaxing the mandarin ducks away, and laughed for a long time, and then hugged Fu'er and asked her to call Sister Feng's stomach brother, and the family was happy.

On the other end, Xue Pan casually handed the Tongling Jade to Baochai and said: "Sister will play with this thing, just don't break it horizontally and vertically, you can play on the kang." ”

Baochai pursed his lips and smiled, but took out the jade from his purse to take a closer look, thinking about the scene when he saw this thing in Rongguo Mansion in his early years, and looked down at the golden lock on his body that he had not had time to take off, and sighed with emotion.

Early the next morning, the Xue family sent a list. It turned out that Mrs. Wang had an IOU in the Xue family, and now there are a total of 264,300 taels left, and the Xue family is specially exempted from 300 taels in the face of their relatives, so it is 264,000 taels. The kid who came said eloquently: "My uncle said, please ask the in-laws to settle within three days, whether your house is ready to return the whole child within half a year, or pay it back slowly in months." If the whole thing is repaid, he will not bother the account clerk to calculate the profits. If you pay it back slowly in months, this year is already the end, and you can calculate the profit from January next year. Don't worry, we will only give you the profits of ordinary money. ”

Jia Zheng only had a good night's sleep last night, and then he raised his heart again and hurriedly said, "Didn't Ziteng persuade him to say anything?" ”

The kid said strangely: "Uncle? He often came to our yard to chat, but this matter belongs to our two families and has nothing to do with him. ”

Jia Zheng was in a hurry, so he hurriedly put up the list and went to see Jia's mother. Jia Mu knew at a glance that Wang Ziteng would not be able to count on it. After a while, he sighed and shouted, "Mandarin duck, take this to your second wife." ”

The mandarin duck stepped forward and carefully took the order and hurriedly sent it to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang thought that Mother Jia could take over the rest of the silver, but she was frightened and a little tired yesterday, so she also had a good night's sleep, and she still ate tea this time. When he saw this list, he was shocked: "Didn't you say that my brother could persuade him to go back?" ”

The mandarin duck lowered his head and said: "Listening to the tone of their family's voice, it seems that the uncle has not persuaded the Xue family." ”

Mrs. Wang's hands and feet suddenly became cold.

The mandarin duck didn't expect her to reply, so she bowed and went.

It didn't take long for this matter to reach Jia Yu's ears, and he couldn't help laughing a few times, and then called Gong Kun over.

Gong Kun immediately rushed over, and bowed to Jia Yu first: "Congratulations to the general, you have a serious business done." ”

Jia Yu smiled and asked, "How do you know?" ”

Gong Kun said: "The Lan Xiang in the third master's house is extremely clever. ”

Jia Yu nodded: "He has a very good eye for people when he pees." He also said, "According to the temperament of the old lady and the second wife, if Baoyu and Nayu are in the hands of the Xue family for a day, they will not be able to live in peace." Thinking about it, there are a lot of excellent things in their private vaults that are pressed at the bottom of the box, and they are in a hurry to sell. ”

Gong Kun sighed: "Since the beginning of the old year, the loan bookkeeping method has been changed, and it is easier to read the accounts, so this year I finished all kinds of account books early." I wanted to spend the New Year at ease, but now I'm busy. ”

Jia Yu smiled: "Mr. is hard, how about letting you take a beat?" ”

Gong Kun also smiled: "No, no, this is a matter for students." I also hope that in the future, the general will remember the hard work of the students every year, and if there are future generations, they must remember the students. ”

Jia Yu waved his hand and said, "That's it, who can compare to you, and worry about this." Hurry up and talk to those girls about how to circle things. ”

Gong Kun understood that he was going to leave this cheap business to Jia Cong's private treasury, so he hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and went back with a smile.

At the other end, someone from the porter came in and said back to Baoyu: "Second master, there is a son who said that he is a friend of the second master, and he wants to invite the second master to go out for a walk." ”

Baoyu didn't close his eyes all night yesterday, full of thinking about where the 270,000 silver came from, and this son was crooked on the kang worried, and only asked lightly who it was.

The man replied: "It's Huo Sheng Huo Gongzi." ”

Baoyu immediately sat up and said with a smile: "It's him!" Come in, please. Then he called Musk Moon to comb his hair and clean up, and shouted for tea.

For a while, the porter came back and said, "Huo Gongzi said, he is only waiting at the door." ”

Baoyu hurriedly urged Musk Yue to hurry up, and hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed out. I saw Huo Sheng wearing a white robe, holding the reins and holding the horse and standing at the door of the mansion with a smile, and his heroic spirit was compelling.
