All the way to the south, through Daoxiang Village, Lotus Lotus Pavilion, Qiu Shuang Zhai, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, after the Qinfang Pavilion Bridge, there is a corner gate here, not far from Yihong Courtyard, the three of them went out of this corner gate, through a passage made of square bricks, to Aunt Xue's courtyard.

Walking closer, Baoqin suddenly said "Huh", and then stretched out his finger, "Sister, look, why is it this hour, the courtyard of the eldest lady is still open?" ”

Baochai and Jia Wei were talking casually, listening to her say this, they all raised their eyes, and sure enough, under the bright lights of the two big lanterns on the eaves, the courtyard door was wide open to both sides, and it was now close to the hour (eight o'clock in the evening), in this winter night, it was not early, some people may have rested, this hour, the courtyard door was wide open, but it was really a little surprising.

"Hey, don't pay attention to it, it's my brother who wants to go out again."

Baochai only glanced at it, then shook his hand and said to Baoqin and Jia Wei with a smile.

The two of them were guessing the reason, and they were relieved when they heard the words, and they couldn't help but look at each other and smile, Xue Pan, both of them know, there is no night that can stay in the house, if you don't go out to play until midnight, or even come back the next day, it won't be him.

At this time, the three of them paused slightly, looked into the courtyard, and after a while, there was a sound of the carriage slowly moving, and the two carriages turned out from the wall, and then the coachman of the carriage in front saw Jia Wei and the three, and hurriedly stopped at the door, and the carriage behind also stopped.

"What's going on?"

Xue Pan's dissatisfied voice came from inside the carriage.

Baochai looked at Jia Wei and Baoqin and made a fruitless expression.

Jia Wei and Bao Qin were both smiling.

"Uncle, the second master, the girl, and the second girl are here." The coachman responded, jumped down and saluted Jia Wei.

"Oh?"

As soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, Xue Pan poked his head out and looked, and the three of Jia Wei looked at each other, and got out of the car in a hurry, walked over with a smile and patted Jia Wei on the shoulder, "Brother Bao, it's you who came here, it's rude." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Baochai and Baoqin again, "My sisters are also coming over?" Tonight, Mrs. was bustling with activity. ”

Baochai pursed her lips and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Baoqin bowed slightly, and Xue Pan also returned the salute.

The two are cousins, although they don't have to be too strict in etiquette, but they haven't been in one place since they were young, and they rarely meet.

Then exchanged a few words with Baoqin, Xue Pan's eyes turned to Jia Wei's side again, and said with a smile, "Brother Bao, since you set up the Nalaoshizi newspaper, I can't find you when I'm idle, I've been back for two months, and in real terms, we've only gotten together once, but tonight is a coincidence, and we actually bumped into ourselves, so it's better to go out and have fun together...... Well, I've made an appointment, and Brother Feng is here, what do you think? ”

"Brother!"

Without waiting for Jia Wei's interface, Baochai frowned and said to Xue Pan.

"What's the matter?" Xue Pan spread his hands and said with a smile, "Sister, Brother Bao is busy with business all day long, I am here for his good, go out to drink and listen to music, everyone and friends together, it is much better to relieve fatigue than to be bored in this mansion!" ”

"Brother, in my opinion, you are already confused before you drink." Bao Chai glared at him angrily, "Brother Bao came here tonight, not to find you, but to take the time to talk to my mother...... Go on your own, you can't take him along. ”

In front of Xue Pan, she didn't want to say anything about Jia Wei's borrowing money, so she casually found an excuse and said that she was coming to talk to Aunt Xue.

"Uh......"

My sister was angry, Xue Pan was also helpless, turned her head to look at Jia Wei, and saw that he touched his nose and didn't speak, obviously he didn't mean to go out to Gao Le, so he waved his big hand and looked for himself under the steps, "...... Is...... Even so, I'm really confused...... Okay, that's it, I'll go by myself, Brother Bao, it's okay one day, let's get together again......"

With that, he re-boarded the carriage, and the two carriages slowly drove in front of Jia Wei and the three of them, one after the other, and disappeared into the night ahead.

Xue Pan left, and Jia Wei and the three entered the courtyard gate, bypassed the Zhaobi, and went all the way to the inner courtyard.

There was already a maid on the corridor to see it, one side to the inside, the other side opened the cotton curtain, from the hall to enter, through to Aunt Xue's bedroom, Aunt Xue was sitting on the kang, listening to a maid in charge with her report, seeing them enter the house, he waved his hand, let the maid retreat, let Jia Wei, Baochai, Baoqin all go to the kang to sit.

After a while, the maid brought tea, and everyone drank tea and talked.

After a while, Baochai brought up the conversation for Jia Wei, "Mom, Brother Bao came over tonight and said that he wanted to borrow some more money." Originally, I told him that it was a trivial matter, and I would go to my mother and give it to him tomorrow, but Brother Bao was polite, so I had to come over in person and talk to my mother in person, and I had to rely on him. ”

When Aunt Xue heard this, she said to Jia Wei in disgust, "Baoyu, but what your sister Bao said? You treat your aunt as an outsider, borrow some money, and go on a trip on such a cold day, how can it be good if it freezes, are you afraid that your aunt will not borrow you? ”

As he spoke, he got off the kang, took the key to open the lock, and took out a stack of silver tickets from the drawer, "Baoyu, how much more?" ”

Jia Wei said the number.

Aunt Xue immediately ordered 30,000 taels of silver tickets and handed them to him.

So far, before and after, she borrowed a total of 56,000 taels of silver from Jia Wei, even if she has a lot of private houses, this silver money is also a lot of money, if she doesn't care, it may not be, in her opinion, all business is risky, maybe these silver coins are taken out, and it is impossible to say that they are completely lost, but Jia Wei opened her mouth, she was still willing, naturally everything was planned for her daughter, no matter what, this move will more or less deepen the relationship between each other.

"Thank you, Auntie, for the money you borrowed, and you will ...... next year I will return it as soon as possible next year. ”

"What are you talking about, you child? Your sister Bao often says in front of me that you are real, but it is really not wrong at all. ”

“……”

Jia Wei smiled, it was not easy to speak, he knew that Aunt Xue was using the topic to play, implying that Baochai had a good impression of him.

Glancing at it, Baochai lowered her head with a red face, while Baoqin pursed her lips and smiled.

Aunt Xue observed her words and saw that he understood her hints, so she didn't say more, and smiled and called the maid outside to prepare a snack.

Jia Wei didn't plan to use dim sum, but he had just borrowed other people's money, so he had to follow Aunt Xue's wishes, used dim sum for a while, and chatted for a while, before Jia Wei bowed to Aunt Xue, and Baochai and Baoqin entered the garden with him.
