It rained in the middle of the night, and in the morning it was still pouring down, Jia Wei's running plan was blocked, so he could only look helplessly at the rain curtain under the eaves and sigh. After breakfast, he held an oil-paper umbrella, walked all the way out www.biquge.info of the second gate, found Li Gui, and asked him to get a fishing rod back. Then he went back to his yard and did a burst of chest expansion and squats in the verandah, where running was not suitable, and the wooden-floored verandah was very noisy, and the room was like a drum.

Then he remembered that he could get a pair of dumbbells and barbells to practice, and the Jia family had several nursing homes, and there were stone locks and other things where they lived, but in comparison, dumbbell barbells were more convenient. It's nothing more than a drawing, find an iron shop to build.

After practicing for a while, he stopped, and the attacker who was on the side early hurriedly took a big towel to help him wipe his sweat, but in fact, he only soaked some sweat slightly, and it didn't matter if he wiped it or not. After wiping it for him, the attacker came out with another cup of tea to quench his thirst, and the two of them stood under the eaves, smiled casually, and entered the house together. At this time, in the big room outside, several maids had already played leaf cards in this boring rainy day. The attacker was not interested in playing cards, nor was he interested in watching people play cards, so he sat on the kang bed next to him and started needlework. She was joined by Musk Yue.

Jia Wei looked at Qingwen's several bucket cards with great interest, the leaf cards are actually equivalent to mahjong, and the playing style is almost the same, Jia Wei first stood behind Qingwen and watched, Qingwen was originally lucky, and made some money, and then lost several games in succession, thinking that Jia Wei was standing behind him and lost his luck, and drove him away. Jia Wei touched his nose and had to walk behind Qiu Wen to look, and then Qiu Wen's luck was very prosperous, and Qiu Wen was so happy that he almost got up to give Jia Wei ten thousand blessings.

……

Outside Yihong Courtyard, at this moment, the news that Jia Wei earned more than 30,000 taels of silver has begun to be transmitted in all rooms and courtyards, and the news that has been passed on at the same time is the whole process of Jia Wei making money. Whether these news came from the mouth of Jia Mu or which maid in Mrs. Wang's house came first, no one investigated deeply, but the shock and waves brought by the news were real.

Wang Xifeng's bedroom.

Wang Xifeng was dining with Ping'er while talking.

Ping'er is beautiful and jade, and her appearance is outstanding, she was one of Wang Xifeng's wedding maids back then, and now she is a room, serving a husband with Wang Xifeng, and several other wedding maids have already let Wang Xifeng send them one by one and marry others as wives. Wang Xifeng left Ping'er alone, as her husband Jia Lian's room, first, Ping'er can be called her right-hand man in managing the inner house, she is indispensable to Ping'er, and second, there is a person who does through the house, she is not easy for people to chew the root of the tongue, saying that she is a jealous woman, Ping'er is loyal and obedient, and she stays just what she wants.

Speaking of which, although Ping'er has intercourse, the number of times she has intercourse with Jia Lian throughout the year is pitiful, at most one or two times, and she has to use all means to prevent herself from becoming pregnant. This is where she is smart about ice and snow, she knows that Sister Feng is very jealous, and she doesn't want to see her have a son first, so she would rather avoid Jia Lian than make love to him, and before Wang Xifeng gave birth to a son, she will always make compromises.

At this moment, the two of them were dining on the kang table, she was under the kang bed with one leg, and the other leg was half kneeling on the kang bed, which seemed very well-behaved.

"Ping'er, have you heard about Baoyu?" Sister Feng asked with a smile.

"I heard that Second Master Bao actually earned more than 30,000 taels of silver in a short period of time, if it weren't for the concubine who saw the golden birthday star he gave to the old lady, I couldn't believe it."

"Oh, have you seen that golden birthday star? Is it really worth five or six thousand taels? ”

"Is this still fake? Sister Mandarin Duck personally showed it to me. Such a tall, such a big one, there are several kinds of high-grade jade embedded on it, the concubine has followed her grandmother for many years, she has not learned anything else, but there is still some knowledge, this golden birthday star should be worth five or six thousand taels. Ping'er put down the dishes and chopsticks and said with both hands.

"If you say so, that's it. I heard that Baoyu also gave his wife a few pieces of jewelry, and I didn't dare to go to my wife's place for fear of touching the mold. ”

"The matter of jewelry, the concubine has also heard about it, but it is only worth dozens of taels of silver, but speaking of which, it is also terrible, it is said that this jewelry style was drawn by the second master of Bao and sold to Jin Fuzhai."

"Hey, he's a master, what are you doing with this?" Wang Xifeng laughed when he heard this.

"Grandma, that's what I said, but Second Master Bao used this to exchange money for money, and then set up a school to make a lot of money, but he has a great ability."

"That's just as well. It's hard for him. ”

"But isn't it, Rao is like this, and the master also smashed his filial piety!" Ping'er said, pursing her lips and laughing funny.

"The old brand has always been like this, in my opinion, it is still good for Baoyu now, in the past, it is not just to smash the chair, it is possible to pick up the chair and smash Baoyu." Saying that, Sister Feng paused slightly, "But after Baoyu opens up, it is also a set of things to do, and to discuss things with the old lady, I also know that I will pay homage to them first, so that they can be used before opening this mouth, which is also rare." ”

"Well, the concubine also thinks that after Bao Er Ye is enlightened, he is good at socializing and understanding affairs, and he is completely like a changed person, not to mention that he is excellent in his studies, and he is so good at business, the old lady and Mrs. They are coming these days, and they can't wait to say dozens of words a day, 'Bao Er Ye was born on the street jade, and he is not an ordinary person'."

"Now it's time for the old lady to have a headache!" Hearing Ping'er's words, Sister Feng burst out laughing, "Baoyu is not trouble-free when she is young, she used to be fine, she was only stubborn among her sisters and sisters, and it is limited to get one or two naughty things, but now it is good, the opening is the opening of the mind, and the matter has become bigger, this time I gave up studying and doing business, and I don't know how to clean it up!" ”

"Grandma, this matter has been going on for a long time, and you should go to the old lady and the lady for a walk, so that the old lady and the lady will not complain that you don't care about this matter." Ping'er thought for a while and said.

"Naturally, I want to go, I plan to go after the meal, I am afraid that I will have to go to this experience, so I can persuade and persuade me, and the old lady and Mrs. will be more relaxed. Hey, Ping'er, tell me, Baoyu has acted in this play, and even I can't be at peace. ”

As she spoke, Sister Feng put down the dishes and chopsticks and reached out to scoop the chicken soup, Ping'er hurriedly took it, scooped a small bowl, and held it in front of her with both hands.

"Grandma has the ability, naturally she has to work harder, and she also owes to her grandmother, hundreds of people up and down the inner house, so that there is no chaos at all, and now the second master of Bao's business, grandma doesn't help the old lady and the wife to work harder, who else can help?"

"Just your hoofs are sweet-mouthed, and you change your way to make me happy." Sister Feng said this in her mouth, but she was very useful, she has always been strong, and Ping'er's words were just right.

Ping'er smiled, seeing that Sister Feng had already drunk the soup and didn't want to move the chopsticks anymore, she got off the kang bed, ready to call the maids who were waiting outside to come in and pack up the plate, at this time, Sister Feng gestured to her and said, "Tell them to come in slowly, I still have something to say to you." Ping'er had to sit back on the kang and wait for her to speak.

After a while, Sister Feng said, "Baoyu has earned so much money this time, Ping'er, you say, can we use it first?" ”

"This ...... Reasoning: At present, the old lady does not let him do business, and the money is put in vain, and it is okay for us to move it over and use it, but let the old lady know about it, it is not very good, and I will definitely blame grandma for not persuading him to change his ways, but to mix with him in one place, so that grandma is difficult to be a person. Ping'er hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly persuaded him.

"What you said has some truth, but Ping'er, you are a little more courageous, you can't be so small if you want to make money, Baoyu is very good with me, I told him personally, he will not tell outsiders about this, even if he leaks his mouth for a while, and it is passed to the old lady and wife, I am not a nerd, won't I make up a word to prevaricate in the past?"

"Grandma'......"

Ping'er knew that Sister Feng had a lot of eyes and clever words, but she still felt that this matter was not very appropriate, and she wanted to persuade her again.

"Ping'er, you don't need to persuade me anymore in this matter," Sister Feng interrupted her, "I have made up my mind, such a large sum of money, I can't watch it leave in vain and use it, even if it is a month, at least this amount." As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and gestured to Ping'er.

"Grandma has decided, and the concubine listens to grandma." Ping'er saw that persuasion was useless, so she had to say obediently.

"That's it, I'll go to the old lady and Mrs. at the moment, you go to the garden for me, talk to Baoyu, invite him to our house in the afternoon, and say that I have something to bother him."

“…… Good. ”

……

In Jia Yu's study.

Jia Yu, who was a few years older than Jia Zheng and was in his forties, sat on the Taishi chair, and the two beautiful concubines of fifteen or sixteen years old knelt on the ground and gently beat his legs for him.

Jia Yu's hair and beard are gray, and the bags under his eyes are as big as goldfish bubbles, and his old appearance looks like he is more than twenty years older than Jia Zheng. He has always been overindulgent, there are twenty or thirty concubines and maids in the room alone, and he often goes to the hook bar to have fun, and the wine has already emptied his body.

These two young concubines who knelt to beat his legs were newly accepted by him a few days ago, and now he has taken a fancy to a new thirteen-year-old maid, and plans to take them in the house in February or March.

At this moment, he was stroking his gray beard with his hand, looking pensive.

Mrs. Xing, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him cautiously, not daring to say a word, for fear of disturbing him and provoking him to anger.

Mrs. Xing is not Jia Yu's original partner, just filling the house, and is the second filler, her mother's family background is very ordinary, just beautiful, when she got married, she felt inferior in this deep house compound, and she was naturally the same in the face of Jia Yu's husband, and then because she couldn't have children, she was even lower in front of Jia Yu, and she only knew how to flatter.

After marrying, she saw Jia Yu spending all her time drinking, squandering at will, often owing debts, and she was unable to have children, no children and no daughters, which made her quite worried about the rest of her life, one is helpless, and the other is no money to make. Therefore, compared with when she was not married, she paid more attention to money, and everything that passed through her hands would be intercepted by her and kept privately as a need to prevent old age.

"From what you've heard, Baoyu is so rich?" After pondering for a while, Jia Yu finally spoke.

"Exactly, sir. Everyone in the house said this, but it was not just some subordinates, according to the concubine's body, this news was very reliable. ”

As soon as Jia Yu spoke, Mrs. Xing hurriedly replied with a smile.

"Hehe, it seems that our big house is not as good as the second room after all, too, the entire Jia family has always been a second room, Ningfu is a long house, our Rongfu is a second room, and it is only a few generations, our Rongfu is much stronger than Ningfu...... Hey, this Baoyu, these days, but let my mind go up and down, was originally an idiot who didn't like to read, but suddenly his studies made great progress, which is making me not very useful, who knew that yesterday it was rumored that he was going to give up studying and doing business, I was happy in my heart, and today I heard you say that he earned more than 30,000 silver taels in business...... These two bedrooms, these two bedrooms ......."

Jia Yu's face was gloomy, he shook his head and sighed, but he didn't know how to describe the second room at the moment.

"Master, you are relieved, although our big house is not as good as the second room at the moment, but after the old lady Crane goes in the future, most of the family property will not be distributed to our big house, and at that time, I can't help but see their scenery."

"Hmph, what do you know, your mother-in-law from a small family, do you think that our Jia family is an ordinary family, and the big house is always cheaper than the other rooms when the family is separated? Let me tell you, as long as the one in the second room is there, they have the final say on the separation. Let me tell you again, the old lady is alive and well, and a bowl of water is still roughly flat, and when her old man is a hundred years later, in this mansion, it will be difficult for us to stay in the big house. ”

Mrs. Xing let him reprimand him as a small family, and he was not unhappy in his heart, of course, even if he was unhappy, he did not dare to show it in his face.

She knew that the "one in the second room" that Jia Yu said referred to Jia Zheng's eldest daughter Yuanchun, Yuanchun was a virtuous concubine, and when the two mansions mentioned her, they all called Niangniang. Jia Yu mentioned Yuan Chun, she thought about it, and this is indeed the reason, with Yuan Chun in the palace, even if it is separated, it is what the second room says.

Thinking like this, her mood couldn't help but be a little more discouraged, and her worries about the rest of her life deepened.

"That'...... What does the old man think about Baoyu making money? ”

After a few thoughts, she stopped thinking about these things and brought up the topic of Baoyu again.

"What else can you see...... He has such a great ability to make money, and he will naturally be rich after that...... Besides, even if he finally obeyed the old lady and returned to the academy, with his current excellent studies, he would be able to go very far in the imperial examination...... In short, the second room is becoming more and more popular. ”

"Sir...... The concubine has an idea, since Baoyu's future is unlimited, whether it is business or studying, then we might as well get closer to him from now on, so as to make a plan for the future. According to the concubine's body, Baoyu, the child, is willing to help others, that is, he is outside, and the concubine hears that he pulled Brother Yun under the corridor. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Naturally, there is, this is what Brother Yun'er and his mother said to the people in the house yesterday. Brother Yun has made a lot of money, and he plans to open a shop. ”

PS: In the digression of the second chapter, Jia Yun's time point has reached April, but Jia Wei is now the time point of March 18, so in this narrative, it is said that Jia Yun intends to open a shop, not that he has chosen a shop.
