Baoyu came out of Rongxi Hall, Wang Shanbao and Mingyan were waiting on the side, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to speak.

Wang Shanbao looked around and said in a low voice: "Second Master Bao, I just heard ......"

"Let's go back and talk about it. Baoyu chuckled softly.

Along the way, he squinted his eyes slightly, feeling the two new heavenly talents. After walking, I passed the hanging flower door and returned to the outer suite of the blue gauze cupboard. As soon as he sat down, there was a crisp sound in his head, which made his skin, meridians, and bones all over his body not an inch uncomfortable, not an inch inappropriate.

Exhaled a breath of pale gray turbidity, and felt that my body was stronger again.

The cyan gauze tent was lifted from the inside, revealing Lin Daiyu's pretty face, and asked, "Ignited the seventy-fifth simmer?"

Baoyu nodded.

Lin Daiyu laughed at him: "It's just that you are arrogant, and you actually gave two famous articles to others." But that's all you can do, people are really good to you, and you're not stingy with anything. ”

Baoyu boasted: "What a cleverness. ”

Daiyu didn't know about the poems he sent to Jia Dairu, but she guessed them just by watching him light the fire. Come to think of it, if he writes by himself, he won't be able to write it at all without four or five days of work, and he won't be able to write it at all without consuming a few clean talents.

He and Daiyu quarreled for a while, and there was an attacker outside the door, and Qingwen brought lunch. Just about to eat, remembering Wang Shanbao's past, he asked Qingwen to call Wang Shanbao over and eat together.

"What did you just hear?" asked as he ate, no need to shy away.

Wang Shanbao told Jia Yucun about educating Jia Huan. He is at the level of an old demon, which is equivalent to a humanistic position, if Jia Yucun doesn't burn his talent, he really can't be found.

After listening to this, Baoyu blinked his eyes and praised: "What a Jia Sanjia! Listen, how atmospheric." The gentleman's layout, when the heaven and earth are used as the chessboard, and the heroic masterpiece is used as the chess piece, the pit people are arrogant. Based on this sentence alone, he Jia Yucun can be regarded as a gentleman. ”

This is a sarcastic person, Daiyu said angrily: "You have the name of two gentlemen, but you always talk about gentlemen and gentlemen." If he is not a gentleman, tell me, what is a gentleman?"

Baoyu said sourly: "The top three are gentlemen?

With a bitter face, Daiyu couldn't pretend anymore, snorted, and laughed wildly.

Baoyu laughed, asked the attacker to lay the paper, and asked Qingwen to polish the ink, and after a little thought, only wrote one word.

Solitary.

The backbone is built hard, and it already has a little charm.

He nodded in satisfaction, kneaded the bamboo paper with the word 'lonely' written on it, and stuffed it into the incense burner on the table.

Those who are noble in character and noble in their manners are gentlemen.

But obviously, whether it is him or Jia Yucun, no one wants to be such a gentleman.

...

...

With Jia Zheng opening his mouth, the east and west storefronts were quickly spread.

The people living in Xicheng are all ordinary people, at most they are wealthy merchants, and the value of the store varies according to the location, and the lowest one who has a mansion in the east city is also the official position of the fourth grade. Of course, there are also those five-grade real power foreign officials' mansions, such as Shang Baoqing and others, and these foreign officials are no longer under the control of official ranks.

In the East Side, you can open a shop and do business, but you must be approved by the majority. Even if you have a lot of silver, people don't want you to trade here, and in the blink of an eye, you will be pigs and dogs, slaughtering and cutting meat, and bloodletting alive.

Of course, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Rong Bing of the Rongguo Mansion has not fallen to such a low level.

Baoyu went to Xicheng first, with Qingwen and Musk Yue serving all the way, and Wang Shanbao accompanying him to protect him. I wanted to let the attacker come out to breathe, but the attacker said that there couldn't be no one in charge in the room, so he stayed. He left Mingyan and Li Gui behind, and let the attackers be called.

Attacking people is a good thing, and if you do a good thing, you have to endure your grievances. Seeing that he couldn't attack people and was wronged, he only told Mingyan to take care of Mrs. Xing and Aunt Zhao, especially Jia Huan, and not to take advantage of his absence to run to his house and pretend to be an elephant. He wasn't worried about Jia Yucun, but Jia Huan was obviously a little twisted child.

Bear child, if you beat it, there is Li Gui inside and outside, and you can't beat people.

Out of the east and west of the city between the road, is the west of the city of the six horse avenue, compared to the east city enough twelve cars parallel avenue, six horse avenue is nothing. Baoyu walked along the bridge, and not long after, he saw his storefront.

Coincidentally, it was next to the grain store of the Wang merchant, a first-class façade on Liuma Avenue. As soon as Baoyu showed his golden fur, the peacock eyes on the tail of the big man fell down in a flutter. The merchant surnamed Wang was shocked by him once, and then looked at his wealth and glory, and drove the family to the side with fat and thick lips, like two lines of welcoming guests, and served the people who entered the store so comfortably.

He didn't dare to provoke Baoyu, so he could only please Baoyu like a subordinate. Not to mention the obviously extraordinary-looking finch gold fur, just the maid who served on the side...... Qingwen and Musk Yue are both first-class beauties, dressed like a young lady from a rich and noble family - Da Zhou has rules, ordinary people, even if they have ten thousand taels of gold, the maid can only wear a fine cloth dress.

Those who can make the maids wear silk and brocade, and have golden hairpins on their hair and dazzling eyes, are at least the likes of marquises. And that bald man with a wooden face and eight feet tall is not something that he can howl a few times like a lazy housekeeper.

Wang Shanbao Mumu's face turned over, Mu Mu's eyes swept over here, and the merchant surnamed Wang felt that he was a pig and sheep in the circle, and suddenly saw a butcher holding a bloody blade. He trembled for a while, and felt that he was not very vivid, only that he felt that he was a wailing, weak, lamb without the slightest resistance, and Wang Shanbao was ...... The butcher or the hungry wolf are neither, they are a colorful tiger who is too lazy to take care of him.

Baoyu stood at the door of Wang Ji Grain Store, and Wang Shanbao brought a Taishi chair from his store, and carefully wiped it with his sleeve before letting Qingwen and Musk Yue serve him to sit.

Baoyu sat down and smiled at the people who had fallen into the store. Over there, the merchant Wang handed over the tea, and he looked at the teapot and teacup with small blue flowing water lines, and sneered in his mouth, "Minyao?"

"It's not as expensive as the gold in your house, it's far away, you can take care of it. "On a cold day, Merchant Wang broke out in a cold sweat.

Baoyu stretched out his hand, Musk Yue is an eye-catcher, and handed over the small pot of red and purple yarn that had been prepared a long time ago, which was water poured from his own store, and his own Qinglu Mountain was towards the clouds and blue tips. Musk Moon used snow water to cool down the freshly brewed tea for a while, but it was still hot, but it didn't burn his mouth. In this cold winter, a sip is just right.

Qinglu Mountain Chaoyun Bijian is a kind of tribute tea, the merchant surnamed Wang smelled the refreshing aroma, his head was sweating, I don't know what kind of noble person this is.

Baoyu just looked at him, the store, the people, and the victims, but he didn't open his mouth.

Wang Shanbao inquired, there are 18 grain stores in Xicheng. Thirteen of them don't need to be said, they are all opened by businessmen with a little power, and there are people behind them, not as big as Jiafu. And two of the remaining five rooms are wealthy in the background, one is a Jinshi in the background, and one is an imperial businessman, all of whom are quite well-founded characters, that is, Jiafu, and they dare not underestimate it without permission.

But even if these four grain stores are not as resentful as this one of the merchants surnamed Wang.

The merchant surnamed Wang hoarded countless grains and grass, and also abided by the 'grain release order' to sell grain at a reasonable price, but every time a common man bought grain, more than a dozen evil servants looked at him angrily. Once you are accidentally found to be wrong, you will be scolded angrily and beaten violently, so that Wang Ji Grain Store sells the least grain, and the people can't necessarily come here to buy grain.

This provoked public resentment, and also provoked the other 17 grain stores, including those with wealthy families as backstage, Jinshi as backstage, and even imperial merchants with the same status as the Xue family. However, this businessman surnamed Wang did not think it was a pestle, but was very proud, and put a phoenix spicy backstage, making it a scenery.

Feng Lazi is the daughter-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, and naturally, others complained about Jiafu.

Baoyu finally spoke and said softly: "I see that your business is not good. ”

"Master, you have also seen this year's situation, business is difficult to do, difficult to do......" The merchant surnamed Wang hurriedly coaxed, unable to figure out what Baoyu meant.

Baoyu didn't bother to talk to him much, just to suppress this black-hearted liver. When he came, he set up a full score, and now he has enough racks, so that the merchant surnamed Wang is afraid. If he is afraid, his affairs will be easy to handle.

He wanted to give relief to the victims, and the money for the relief was naturally obtained by merchants. First, he doesn't have enough capital, and second, the disaster victims don't have the life to wait for him to earn. He had already thought about it when he came here, killing two birds with one stone.

Do good deeds, but also for Jiafu.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, that phoenix spicy, too much.

Baoyu smiled: "Master, naturally I know that business is difficult to do." Just don't do the business of outsiders, just be the master. I don't treat you badly, buy all your grain, give a wholesale price, and give eighty percent of it. ”

Hearing this, the businessman surnamed Wang couldn't be afraid and was about to jump.

Eighty percent of the food? You might as well grab it!

He worked hard to keep the amount of grain low, and why? Isn't it just to keep it for the future, and make a big windfall! Don't look at the real effect of the 'grain release order,' and he will not dare to violate any of them, but who dares to guarantee that it will be supported for a few days? He has heard people say that the big men in the court are making a quarrel.

Although he was not as strong as the drought god, he could not make the great barren mountains bare for thousands of miles, and he was not able to kill tens of thousands of Tengu demon clans by drought, but he was also a first-class ghost. A big man went to stop him, but he just blew and popped, and it was gone.

The spread of the plague outside alone has already made the Great Zhou Kingdom busy, not to mention that the plague god has not yet shown up? Those scholars, jinshi, bachelors, and even university scholars can only protect half of the cities, and what about the rest? There is no one outside to cultivate the land, and there is a shortage of grain in the whole country, or even no grain in the whole country, it is a matter of time before or so.

The 'grain release order' can sustain a while, can it support a lifetime? What he keeps is not grain, but a mountain of gold, a mountain of gold that can make him soar to the sky!

Baoyu saw that he was greedy, shook his head, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a sneer.

If you want to keep Jinshan, it's fun, aren't you afraid of losing Qingqing's life?

He snorted coldly: "Master put the words on hold, you have to sell it, and if you don't sell it, you have to sell it." Wang Shanbao stood forward, and a large area of lines cracked under his feet, and the businessman surnamed Wang scolded his mother in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid - the stone slab of the Six Horse Avenue was very hard.

He snorted: "This son, you may not know, our king ...... remember"

"Palm. ”

Two words lightly, but it kills people.
