"Second Brother Lian, Second Brother Lian? Sister Feng! ”

said that at noon on the day of the release, Ping'er was outside with no match, fiddling with needlework, and heard someone shouting in the yard.

looked out through the crack in the door, but it was Jia Baoyu who was there stretching his neck and shouting.

Ping'er hurriedly threw the dustpan on the show, walked out quickly, and said with a smile: "Don't shout, the second master and the second grandmother went to the Tieji Temple early in the morning, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back until the evening." ”

When Baoyu heard this, she couldn't help but be disappointed.

On that day, he received the 'task' from Sun Shaozong, and he couldn't wait to find out all about it immediately, so that Second Brother Sun could look at it differently.

Unfortunately, a cousin of his uncle, Prince Teng's family, suddenly died of an emergency.

Because there was no male host at home in the house, Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian took turns to go over and watch for a few days, and they were busy and sad, so they naturally didn't care about Sun Shaozong's affairs.

In these years, those who died young have always been buried thinly, so the corpses only stopped for three days, and they were buried outside the city at noon yesterday.

After that, Jia Baoyu rested for another day, relieved his fatigue a little, and then rushed over to check the accounts, but he never thought that he would pounce.

He frowned and walked out a few steps, suddenly remembered something, folded back with a smile, and inquired to Ping'er: "Sister Ping'er, are the account books of our family's garden all in your place?" ”

Ping'er was stunned when she heard this, and only thought that the sun came out of the west - otherwise, how could the master who didn't help the oil bottle suddenly ask about the account book?

"It's not that I want to check, it's actually Second Brother Sun'......"

Jia Baoyu also knew that this did not conform to his usual personality, and he was afraid that Ping'er would treat him as a 'layman'.

So he was busy telling Sun Shaozong that he was going to repair the garden, and he was afraid of being deceived by profiteers, so he asked himself to inquire about the inside story first, and poured beans into the bamboo tube and told it.

Ping'er listened, but her heart was like a mirror, knowing that Sun Shaozong's cultivation of the garden was fake, and it was true to kill people with a knife!

However, because of the misfortune of that day, she also hated Lai Da in her heart, and naturally she would not debunk Sun Shaozong's plan.

Instead, he frowned at the willow leaves, put on a panicked look, and said hurriedly: "Little ancestor, you can rest quickly, don't dare to check this account!" ”

With Jia Baoyu's temperament, if Ping'er said that he would wait for Wang Xifeng to make the decision, Bacheng would leave in a huff.

But the words 'dare not check randomly' made Baoyu a little unhappy, and he asked with a stiff neck: "What does this mean?" Am I not the proper master of the house? Can't see the ledger of the garden?! ”

This three times of questioning made Ping'er more and more 'flustered', bit the silver teeth, and actually pulled Baoyu into the house, and said with a pause: "Little ancestor, why don't you know how to be a good person?" I won't let you check the books, but it's for your own good! ”

"For my good? What does this mean? ”

"You don't belong to the family, how do you know how many things are involved in this courtyard?" Ping'er smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, our grandmother couldn't sleep well all night because of this, if it weren't for Miss Lin's family......

Speaking of the words 'Miss Lin', she hurriedly closed her mouth again, looking like she had accidentally leaked her mouth.

Jia Baoyu became more and more inexplicable, and wondered: "What does this have to do with Feng'er?" ”

"Nothing to do, nothing to do!"

Ping'er 'clumsily covered up', and persuaded: "In short, you should not check this account, and when I met Master Sun in a few days, I said that the labor and materials in our household are the best, and the price is naturally expensive, so it is better to let Lord Sun invite another master." ”

She said such a thing - especially when it came to Lin Daiyu, it was strange that Jia Baoyu was willing to give up asking!

Stretched out his hand and grabbed one of Ping'er's arms, twisting the candy as if he was just entangled, and swore a curse in his mouth, saying that he would never tell others.

This trick is as spicy as Wang Xifeng, and he can't resist it, Ping'er, a maid in the room, is even more afraid of being seen by others.

'Helpless', Ping'er had to sigh and say: "That's it, I'll risk my life and tell you a few words of truth!" ”

Baoyu smiled and said, "Sister, don't bluff me, what can be so dangerous?" Besides, even if the sky falls, I will go to the old lady and help my sister get back up! ”

Ping'er sighed again, and then said faintly: "When the garden was first repaired, it was estimated that 300,000 or 400,000 taels of silver would be enough - who knew that other families had also built other courtyards, and there was also the Zhongshun King hoarding Juqi, and as a result, the price had risen several times, making our house unsustainable." ”

"But because I have already declared the matter of provincial relatives to the imperial court, if the work is stopped halfway, it will be a crime of deception!"

"I bought a way, and in the end, I had to embezzle the silver left by Aunt Lin."

"What?!"

When Jia Baoyu heard this, his eyes widened in astonishment: "Our family used Sister Lin's money to repair the garden?!" How much did it take?! ”

Ping'er stretched out his hand and gestured to a six.

Jia Baoyu subconsciously guessed a number: "Sixty thousand taels were used?!" ”

Who knew that Ping'er shook his head and said, "It's more than 600,000 taels!" ”

"Six...... Sixty-six hundred thousand taels?! ”

Jia Baoyu was really frightened now, no matter how stubborn he was, he knew what the concept of 600,000 taels was - even if Jia Mansion was as big as Jiafu, I am afraid it would be enough to chew for decades!

His first thought was to rush to the old lady and expose this big scandal!

But then I thought that if there was no old lady nodding at such a large expense, who would dare to call the shots?

I'm afraid that my father, mother, and even uncle will know it early on!

Ping'er looked at him for a long time, lest he would commit hysteria again, so he hurriedly relieved: "Actually, this silver is also the dowry prepared by Aunt Lin for his daughter, if the two of you get married in the future, this silver should also be our family......"

It's good that she wasn't relieved, but Baoyu was anxious about this, and shouted with raised eyebrows: "What kind of bastard is this?!" Don't say that Sister Lin and I haven't married yet, even if we really become a family, I don't use the dowry without asking her! ”

Ping'er was startled by his cold outburst, and took half a step back slightly, but said with a wry smile: "What's the use of you yelling at me, I didn't spend the money." ”

Jia Baoyu was suddenly deflated again, and said with a frown: "It's me who lost my mind for a while, and please don't blame me." ”

said, and said: "Sister, don't worry, these many people take me for a fool, only my sister is willing to tell me the truth, I am grateful in my heart, even if I die, I will not betray my sister!" ”

When Ping'er heard this, she sighed half moved and half scheming: "It's all like this, I'll just tell you all - in fact, the Xue family, our house has also embezzled a large amount of silver, I think about it in private, I'm afraid that one man has promised two families!" ”

One man or two?

Jia Baoyu staggered back a few steps like thunder, tripped over the threshold, and fell to the sky like a turtle!
