The familiar little old man, the familiar copper coin double-cardigan coat, the familiar hunchback, and the familiar, black and oily hardwood crutches. Scrooge didn't know how long he had been sitting at the door, the tip of his cane was scratching on the ground, and Baoyu looked down at it, and it was all the word 'silver'.

It sneered, "I said I was going to look at you." ”

"Then watch. ”

"However, since I want to watch you, I naturally have to wait for you here. I am afraid that you will stuff the silver into your own blankets, so that the people of the disaster will eat and drink the chaff so that their stomachs will not be full. Don't tell me you don't like silver – there's no one in the world who doesn't like it?"

Baoyu pursed his lips and didn't say a word, with his character, he naturally likes silver. Not to mention anything else, just the floral yellow nephrite square inkstone, I want to buy it like a cat scratching when I think about it, but what about the many people here, where can they tell the truth?

The Confucian literati, who valued agriculture over commerce, and had the rules that businessmen despised, pressed the silver into the stinky ditch, saying that it was 'copper smell' and the like. If he says that he loves silver, his reputation will be stinky.

snorted and said, "I still have something to do, and I don't have time to accompany you." "I'm leaving.

Scrooge's wrinkled face stretched, and he smiled: "If you have something to do, please do it yourself, it's just so much business, really don't do it?"

"How can there be so many ......?"

As soon as Baoyu spoke, he saw many people stopped at the door, and some passers-by stopped and did not look at them, but looked at the inside of the store.

Scrooge bowed his head and smiled, and his harsh voice spread faintly: "The world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can not forget...... Haha, I'm a swarker, why don't you get more together?"

After three sentences in a row, a golden breath floated out and slowly fell on this four-story small building. The plaque hanging above the door of the small building has not yet been written, and the side is also plated with a layer of light gold, which is really a lot more 'copper smell'.

Scrooge's figure was illusory for a while, and the pop disappeared, leaving only the still shrill voice.

"If you want to save people, I will help you, which is considered to be atonement. This store has a lot of money, and it can't make a windfall, but whether you do a conscientious business, it's up to you. ”

Baoyu narrowed his eyes: Is this old slave good or bad?

...

...

Busy until late at night.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the east city was lit up. Baoyu said goodbye to Liu Shengquan and the others, and walked west along the avenue that could accommodate twelve horses in parallel, until he reached the Yongdao where the east and west cities were connected, and the lights were still bright.

It was pitch black in the corridor, and from the bright place, it looked like the big mouth of a giant beast was going straight to the stomach and intestines, and it was about to swallow people alive. Wang Shanbao raised his big fan-like hand, lit up the quiet fox fire, showed him the way, and told him to walk slowly.

Out of the road, it was still pitch black, Baoyu only heard the cold wind, no voice, but he knew - not far from the light of the fox fire, there were many people who were suffering from cold and hunger.

"Go faster. He lowered his voice and snorted.

Wang Shanbao Mumu's face was reflected in the fox fire, and he was vaguely a little unbearable, and persuaded: "Master, you have been busy for a day, why don't you go back?" You haven't rested all day, and you haven't read, this is not a little bit of work, if your body collapses...... Master, do you still want to take the exam, be a lifter, and be promoted to a bachelor's degree......."

Baoyu paused and scolded Wang Shanbao with a smile - he didn't expect this rough man to care about people, and moreover, his words were well-founded.

I remember that when I first arrived, I was trembling and trembling, walking on thin ice, that is, I wanted to hide my identity and live, and then take the test to show talents, be a lifter, be a jinshi, and go to the saint who broke the sky.

The saint has to enjoy a long life, who doesn't want to?

But if he is insensitive, and allows starvation to be all over the cities and mountains before his eyes, what will he do if he lives for 10,000 years?

He is a man, not an animal.

In his chest, there is still a lively and warm heart.

Tilted his toes and patted Wang Shanbao's shoulder, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the faint green fox fire reflected a gentle smile.

"Hurry up, Qingwen and the others are still waiting. ”

...

It was not only Qingwen and Musk Moon who were waiting, but there was also a chubby guy at the door, and seven or eight housekeepers who had pulled the curtain to block the wind. When Wang Shangshang saw Baoyu, he ran over with small steps, and said with a sneer: "Second Master Bao, you can come back! The little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai has collided with Second Master Bao, he should fight, he should fight!"

said that he should be beaten, and his fat hands were next to his face holding gauze, but he couldn't beat it, and his face was full of smirks.

Baoyu snorted and wanted to enter the door.

"Second Master Bao!" Merchant Wang suddenly knelt down.

Baoyu stopped, turned around, and listened to him.

Merchant Wang cried so much that he howled: "Second Master Bao, that Aunt Qingwen took 30,000 loads of fine grain from me, and she didn't even give a word...... Second Master Bao, the little one doesn't ask for grain, and he doesn't want to get rich, I just ask you to really give an IOU, so that the little one has an explanation, and the little one wants to live. ”

Baoyu squinted at him, this was a self-inflicted sin.

30,000 quintals of fine grain, that is, 6,000 taels of silver, is also an astronomical amount for the king merchants. Thinking about it, this Wang businessman didn't know how many backers he had found, but in the end he just found Feng Lazi. Feng Lazi seems to be a powerful person, and she is the daughter-in-law of Jiafu, but if there is no Jiafu, what is it?

With the net worth of the king and the merchant, 6,000 taels of silver, that is enough to kill him.

Baoyu shook his head, took two fifty taels of silver from Wang Shanbao, and threw the rest away. The hemp rope tied to the sack was pulled away by Wang Shanbao, and the white flowers rolled to the ground.

"You take what is on the ground, and if you are not enough, you will talk about it in a few days. ”

Wang Shang wept, lying on the silver and choked thanksgiving, and waited for Baoyu and Wang Shanbao to enter the door, so that the family members picked up the silver and ran towards their own mansion.

The merchant's mansion can't be too big, and he doesn't have the ability to make it too big, there are more than a dozen houses inside and outside surrounded by a small courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, Merchant Wang kicked the family and viciously counted them.

"Little Chick, that is, a kind person, will you really thank you?"

Merchant Wang scolded and gritted his teeth: "That Feng Lazi is also an empty name, and even Jia Baoyu can't pick it up." I sent a letter to that side, and I sent someone to send it, but I didn't even have any news. Jiafu, hum, this litter of green-haired foxes will be slaughtered to make clothes sooner or later. ”

He muttered and chirped, and went to the bedroom, but in a dark corner not far away, two dim green lights stared at him, flickered twice, and quietly disappeared.

Wang Shanbao pinched the number of his fingers with the thickness of a radish, and felt that there was still some time before the day of the Xiucai exam, so he didn't care, and went back to tell Baoyu not to mention it.

Bao Er Ye said that before the big exam, he will not kill anyone.

...

The moon is like a hook, and the cold light shines, but it doesn't seem to shine into Jiafu.

Jiafu covers an area of more than ten miles, and every house and courtyard is lit by the lamps of the evil palace, as well as those who wait, wait for summonses, or help the master to do things, running back and forth with lanterns, illuminating Jiafu at night, so bright that he dislikes the moonlight. Zhou Ruizhou, the housekeeper who is in charge of the land rent in the spring and autumn, has nothing to do, and he is also stubborn.

From time to time, he reprimanded a few small servants and maids, disgusted people with their hands and feet, and scared no one to get close to him.

He walked left and right, turned past the Rongxi Hall and Mrs. Wang's Courtyard, and went behind the Pink Oil Shadow Wall. It was Sister Feng's small courtyard, Jun Ping'er opened the door, saw that it was Zhou Rui, took a sip, and went to the side as if he didn't see it, Zhou Rui nodded and shouted Sister Ping'er, no matter how old she is, she wants to please her with a shy face.

"Do what you want to do yourself, don't get my eyes dirty. Ping'er picked him up, saw a little maid coming up, and hurriedly took someone to the maids' room. She was reluctant to let them see these things that they shouldn't see.

Zhou Rui begged for a facelessness, glared greedily at Jun Ping'er's slender waist, and when he arrived at the door of Wang Xifeng's showroom, he changed his eyebrows and greeted him and went in.

Wang Xifeng counted the accounts under the candlelight, saw him come in, pointed to a stool to sit on, lit the candle flame a little more, and said without raising his head: "This is approaching the end of the year, and the expenses in the house are larger, so all kinds of preparations must be prepared." Zhou Rui is in charge, if there is nothing else, you will come less. ”

Zhou Rui just sat down and raised half of his buttocks, and said hurriedly: "Grandma Feng, something is wrong!"

"Something happened? You've already come here at noon and said something was wrong. Isn't it that Baoyu got the Wang Ji grain store, and he also participated in three hundred taels of shares, and let the surnamed Wang spit it out. Now that Baoyu has won the favor of the second master, he wants to help the victims, do good deeds, and make a good name, that is the decision of the house, which dares to stop the king businessman, he does not dare to take my money. ”

"But...... If the grain release order ......"

Poof, Wang Xifeng suddenly laughed, and said with a trembling flower: "Do you really take this seriously? Even Baoyu can see that although the plague god is a powerful one, he is not my opponent of the Great Zhou, how long can he do it? The fields of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been rich for so many years, and the food saved is enough to eat, and it can't reach that situation, besides, even if it comes to that kind of situation, with the stupid things of the Wang merchants, with the skills of you and me, and even Jiafu, can you eat so much food?"

"There is no loss to us inside and outside, if that guy still opens a grain store, we will continue to participate in the shares, if not, give a lesson, and tell him to spit it out." ”

"As for our second master......"

Wang Xifeng drove Zhou Rui away, opened the clamp box of the grille, and the golden and silver lights flashed, I am afraid that it will not cost thousands of taels of silver. She just looked at it and smiled, her eyes were crooked and tasteful, and later, she dropped the lid a little angrily.

She has worked hard as the daughter-in-law of the family for a long time, so she saved this bit of furniture, but Baoyu ended up for no reason, which really made her unhappy.

I heard from the people in the house that the second master gave Baoyu a black black hair, and I am afraid that it will be worth 5,000 taels of silver.
