As soon as Princess Changle left, Lin Daiyu asked Jia Jiu: "Second sister, Her Royal Highness the princess didn't say that she wanted to stay." ”

"Because I know very well with him that our fate is over. He is a royal person after all, even if he knows that the Emperor Taishang and the present day have their own flaws, but he is a royal princess, and his identity has long decided everything. As for me, I am luckier than him, I still have Taoism, and I also have the understanding of my father and brother. When he left that day with those seals, we both knew that we couldn't go back to the way we were. That farewell is already the last. ”

Jia Jiu admitted that he had expected Princess Changle to ask him for a document seal, which also made Princess Changle extremely unconfident in front of him.

But in fact, he and Princess Changle have supported each other, and they have also gone through ten years. How many decades are there in life? Even if they don't get along day and night in the past ten years, it is because they rely on each other and support each other that the friendship between the two of them is very different.

Jia Jiu is not a hard-hearted person like Xue Baochai, in his heart, he has already unknowingly put a princess of Changle.

It's a pity that Princess Changle can not marry, and Princess Changle can choose to be lonely for a lifetime, but he can't put aside his identity and his family, just like Jia Jiu can't leave the Jia family and Daomen.

In the end, the two went their separate ways.

There weren't too many twists and turns, and there weren't many stories, but this ending was already doomed from the beginning.

In the past, the people who lived under the same roof with Jia Jiu only saw the benefits that Jia Jiu's friendship with Princess Changle brought to the Jia family and everyone, but they didn't find Jia Jiu's true mood that he didn't even pay attention to himself.

Except for Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu was silent for a while. Suddenly, he said: "This time, I'm afraid that Sister Bao will suffer again." ”

Jia Jiu said: "What's wrong? ”

Lin Daiyu replied: "The Xue family has hoarded a lot of food, and Sister Bao has also intervened. ”

"Businessmen are profitable." Jia Jiu sighed. "From a businessman's point of view, this is not a mistake. After all, earning more money with less money is the essence of a merchant's existence. How can people have the bottom limit? At this time, I don't want to accumulate good deeds, I want to make money, and I am not afraid to fold myself and my descendants' happiness and longevity. Can my sister send a letter to Sister Bao? ”

Lin Daiyu said: "Written." Pity. There was no reaction from the Xue family's side. ”

Jia Jiu sighed, and after a long time, he said, "I just hope that Lord Wang knows it in his heart." Don't be too ruthless, you will be made a chicken to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys. ”

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she also sighed.

As Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu were worried, Xue Baochai had just received Lin Daiyu's letter. I'm still very happy.

Xue Baochai not only failed to marry into a wealthy family as he wished. Instead, he married a well-known prodigal in the upper circle. is also thanks to Liu Xianglian's surname Liu, and she can also pull the tiger skin of the Xiuguo Mansion to bluff those who don't know. But in that circle, who doesn't know Liu Xianglian?

Even Xue Baochai himself regrets it in the dead of night.

Perhaps, would it be better for him to choose to marry Jia Baoyu if he held on a little longer? This idea was always beaten down by Xue Baochai as soon as it appeared. Then, after a few days. Resurfaced in Xue Baochai's mind. In fact, Xue Baochai himself knew that Jia Baoyu would treat Xia Jingui wholeheartedly, that was because Xia Jingui had hollowed out the entire family and filled it to the Jia family, and Xue Baochai also knew that he couldn't do it to the point where Xia Jingui was. So, he can only think about it.

It's a pity that his husband Liu Xianglian is getting colder and colder day by day, and the relationship between husband and wife is really like an ice cube, even if Xue Baochai is born a cold beauty, after a long time, even if he has a decent face, his heart is like soaking in bitter juice.

When he received Lin Daiyu's letter, Xue Baochai's heart was very happy.

After he got married, he broke off contact with his sisters in the past. The threshold of the Marquis of Rongguo's Mansion is high, and he can't get in, and the threshold of the Lin family is noble, and he can't get in. As for Tanchun Shi Xiangyun and others, it was too late for Xue Baochai to draw a clear line with them, let alone exchanges?

To be honest, I heard that Lin Yu was valued by the emperor, and I heard that the three masters of the Lin family all had titles, how could Xue Baochai's heart not be hot? Lin Daiyu's letters were treated as treasures by him.

However, when he read the contents of Lin Daiyu's letter clearly, Xue Baochai only had bitterness in his heart. He didn't even have the strength to speak, so he just spread it out there.

Ying'er waited for Xue Baochai, so she also knew a few words, seeing Xue Baochai happily opening the letter, and seeing Xue Baochai's face full of defeat and letting the letter slip, she didn't care about the rules, picked up the letter, made up the skylight, and read it carefully.

After reading it, Ying'er looked at Xue Baochai cautiously, and suddenly said, "Miss Lin is really relaxed!" How did he know about his grandmother's suffering! ”

Xue Baochai raised his hand, stopped Ying'er's words, and said, "Don't say it." ”

Ying'er said: "Grandma, the maid followed you when she was young, from Jinling to Jingshi, from Jia's family to Liu's family, watching grandma do her best for the family, and watching grandma come to this day step by step, others don't know grandma, don't I know?" It is said that Miss Lin's life is hard, she has lost her mother since she was a child, and within a few years, she has no father, and he has to pull her younger brother to adulthood, delaying her youth in vain. But he is protected by the eldest lord and two girls in the house. The eldest lord himself is the lord of the mansion, and he has been favored by the saint and has become the marquis, and the second girl is even more amazing. The second wife is so powerful, there is still a mother standing behind her, and the second girl didn't let the second wife take away a copper plate from the Lin family! But what else is there for the girl! ……”

In extreme anger, Ying'er unconsciously used the old name.

"Say no more!" Xue Baochai held his forehead painfully and said, "Don't say it." Let the outside know, I'm afraid I'm going to say that I don't know what to do. ”

"Girl!"

Xue Baochai sadly took the letter paper, smoothed it out, and put it on his knees, and then said, "The second sister is not bad for me." Sister Lin is his cousin, and this is related to the reputation of Nafu and the future of Lian's second brother Cong'er's younger brother, so he naturally has to do his best. But what am I? Count it up. I am still the niece and daughter of the second wife, and the second wife is the enemy of their family. The second sister can treat me like this, what am I not satisfied with? At least. He also gave me ten million taels of silver. If you change someone else, I am afraid that there is no silver, but even the lives of our family have to be calculated. ”

"Grandma'......"

Seeing Xue Baochai so sad and sad, Ying'er's face was also very ugly.

He is Xue Baochai's dowry girl and the housekeeper of the Liu family, and his interests are consistent with Xue Baochai. Xue Baochai is good, he can be good.

Ying'er looked at the letter in Xue Baochai's hand. After hesitating for a while, he still spoke: "Grandma, I also know grandma's difficulties. Grandma's dowry was quite a lot. But our master is a man who doesn't know how to be thrifty. It was like this before getting married, I had a few money in my hand, but it was gone in a few days, and I came back to my grandmother to ask for it. The partial birth is a bold one. I don't have a serious livelihood yet. This....... Isn't there no way? What's more, grandma's maiden family also needs money now. ”

When Xue Baochai heard this, he was stunned at first, and then sighed.

The Xue family is no better than the Lin family.

The Lin family was originally a family of four generations of princes, and they had a rich family background, but the above generations were all sparsely populated, and the previous generations of housewives were all noble daughters from high-ranking families, not only with rich dowries. It is also a capable person who has a good family. Therefore, the Lin family not only has a lot of antique toys in private. Even the houses on the bright side are quite a lot of Zhuangzi fields.

The emperor took away the Lin family's salt and fat Zhuangzi, but the emperor turned his face and knighted several masters of the Lin family. And the Lin family's family was rich, and when they turned around, they bought land again. The matter of salt and fertilizer, for the Lin family, there is not much loss. Because the person who really threw money at the salt and fertilizer matter was never Lin Daiyu or the Lin family, but Jia Jiu, and the Lin family just tried their best to cooperate.

Thinking of the benefits that Lin Daiyu and the Lin family got from Jia Jiu, Xue Baochai was sad again, but he still had to say to Ying'er like this: "Fool." You only saw it, why didn't you see the third sister and the cloud girl? One is his own cousin, and the other is the old lady's former treasure, or he looks big. But when the third sister got married, the makeup he sent was only about the same as what I got at the beginning. And Yun'er, what kind of life is he living now? Although I am not as rich as I used to be, I have a dowry and an uncle in my mother's house. It's just that our lord sometimes thinks that my mother's family is now a merchant's family, and I don't like it a little, but compared to the third sister and Yun'er, isn't it much better? ”

Ying'er said: "Grandma! Where can the three girls compare with you! It's to compare, and to compare with the four girls. ”

Thinking that Xichun married several years later than himself, and now he has two sons, Xue Baochai was even more stunned. He has only given birth to a son and a daughter. Even if Xue Baochai is looking forward to being able to conceive another one, but her husband doesn't cooperate, what can he do?

Not to mention, Liu Xianglian has long been no different from a drama in a certain circle, in contrast, Lin Yu is a popular person in front of the emperor, not only has the emperor's heart, but also has clever means, he can be Jia Lian's son next year, but he can climb higher than Jia Lian, and now he is a farmer from Sanpin, and he also holds the position of a bachelor. Compared to Lin Yu, what is Liu Xianglian?

Xue Baochai muttered, "What do I compare with my fourth sister?" Who let the fourth sister have a father who was born as a jinshi? Who made the father of the fourth sister or the teacher of the Lin family's uncle? If it weren't for the Lin family's uncle being such a teacher, if it weren't for the late eldest man of Dongfu who worked hard for his daughter, where would the fourth sister be able to get such a good marriage? ”

What's more, Xue Baochai's age does not match Lin Yu. If Xue Baochai can be as big as his cousin Xue Baoqin, even if Mrs. Wang is fishing in front of Jia Yuanchun, Xue Baochai wants to fight for this family business.

Ying'er also knew that she had stabbed her girl's scar, and hurriedly said, "It's not." Uncle Lin has worked hard since he was a child, which is like Bao Erye, who has nothing to do all day long. Grandma, your knowledge is no worse than that of Miss Lin, as long as you are willing to bother to teach your brother well, why can't you teach your brother? Why worry that there will be no phoenix crown in the future? ”

Thinking of his smart and clever son, Xue Baochai immediately had his spirit and said, "That's not what happened. ”

Xue Baochai cleaned up the look on his face, personally folded the letter and put it in the jewelry box, turned his head and ordered the people below not to let Liu Xianglian know.

Lin Daiyu mentioned the hoarding of food in her heart, but Xue Baochai didn't take a word to heart. Not only did he not go to his heart, but even Ying'er did not go to his heart.

On the one hand, it is certainly because the current Xue family needs money, and on the other hand, it is also because Xue Baochai holds a fluke in his heart. In their opinion, the hoarding of grain is not done by two families, even if it is investigated from above, it is not the law that holds the people accountable, and at most it will punish the evil.

And in Xue Baochai's heart, as a big grain merchant in Beijing, isn't the Cao family more conspicuous than the Xue family?

Therefore, Lin Daiyu's reminder, Xue Baochai didn't take it to heart at all.

However, within a few days, the price of food in Jingshi suddenly fell, and it fell very quickly, faster than the rate of the original disaster. Not only Gyeongshi, but also Gyeonggi, and even the entire affected Henan Province.

A few unscrupulous businessmen even thought of rushing to buy grain and raising the price of grain again, but the government just sent two small officials to settle the matter. At the same time, the food hoarded by these unscrupulous businessmen is also missing.

The grain hoarded by the Xue family and Xue Baochai escaped the catastrophe, but the price of grain suddenly dropped to a point where it was cheaper than before the disaster, and it was not much worse than the harvest year, and the grain hoarded by the Xue family and Xue Baochai was naturally smashed in their hands.

Xue Baochai, who got the news, immediately fainted, and Ying'er hurriedly helped Xue Baochai to cry.

Xue Baochai woke up slowly, looked at Ying'er, and said, "How is it possible?" There are disasters everywhere, who still has so much food? But the imperial court is releasing grain? ”

Ying'er said with tears in her eyes: "No, no, grandma. It's the door. I heard that Daomen has found many places overseas, and these places are rich in grain, and in some places they even grow three times a year, so they can only let these grains rot in the land in vain. The second girl personally brought back a large amount of grain with more than 30 ships larger than the treasure ship, and the Cao family and the rest of the families followed the grain, so the price of grain fell so quickly. ”

"Really?"

Ying'er burst into tears and nodded.

Xue Baochai smiled bitterly and said, "It's the second sister again." Sister Lin wrote to me, did she ask me to sell the grain early to avoid losses? ”

According to the time when Xue Baochai received the letter, Xue Baochai had time to sell the grain in his hand at the highest price. But now, it's too late. (To be continued.) )
