051 The condescension of the poppy
Mrs. Xue subconsciously looked at Xue Baobao, Xue Baobao smiled meaningfully at her, turned her head and asked Jia Baoyu, "Cousin Baoyu, I just discussed with Sister Lin and the others to play with sandbags, and then draw tricks, will you go too?" ”
Xue Baobao was originally smiling at Mrs. Xue, but when he turned his head to look at Jia Baoyu, the smile on his face had not subsided.
She tried her best to toss and eat Lin Daiyu these days, and naturally she would not wronged herself.
She has grown taller, the girl's childishness has also taken off a lot, and her snow-like skin has become more and more moisturized.
Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and her mind was full of thoughts, "I didn't expect Sister Bao to laugh so beautifully, I just hate her for being dignified and serious on weekdays, and she refuses to call me close easily, otherwise it......'s worth it if I die."
Lin Daiyu hadn't smiled since she got up in the morning, and when she saw Jia Baoyu's stupid appearance, she was even more angry, snorted heavily, turned her head and left.
Xue Baobao shouted happily, "Madam, let's go", with one hand to pull Tanchun, the other hand to pull Xichun, quickly caught up with Lin Daiyu, Zhen Yinglian also smiled and took Yingchun to follow.
Jia Baoyu was stunned, and chased after him.
Xue Pan scratched his head and asked, "Mom, Cousin Baoyu won't ask me to accompany me, or I'd better go on a business trip?" Those two loan sharks were still locked up yesterday! ”
Xue Pan is a fool to tell the truth, but Mrs. Xue is sour, if it weren't for the power of Rongguo's mansion, how could she ask her son to delay the incident to entertain Baoyu!
It's just that Baoyu is not rare, she just wants to drill her daughters!
Wang Xifeng didn't listen like it, he was busy playing the round, playing the round, and said, "Brother Pan is really out of luck now, and he looks like he has official authority!"
Come, Brother Pan came to sit next to me, and told me who the loan sharks were, what kind of people they were, what caused trouble, why did they get caught in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses? ”
Xue Pan was flattered, obediently sat down beside Wang Xifeng, and replied honestly, "It's not a big case, it turned out to be two ruffians who put the money in print, and the people who owed the money couldn't pay the bill, so they tied up their daughters."
The one who owes the money is in a hurry, go to our complaint, and Shangfeng will go and order me to bring someone to arrest those two people, and there is no time to try them! ”
Mrs. Xue hurriedly asked, "How is that daughter?" ”
"Found it, it's been sent back".
Xue Pan said with a proud smile, "If I hadn't found it, I wouldn't have been able to go home yesterday, and I would have to track it down overnight."
Mrs. Xue chanted the Buddha repeatedly, "That's how it should be, the most important thing for you to be an official is to be the master of the people, and people's lives are a matter of heaven, even if you work hard, you should also do it."
Wang Xifeng asked again, "If it is verified, how will it be judged?" ”
"They dare to put Yinzi money at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they dare to kidnap the daughter of a good family, and they will be punished for both crimes, at least they will be sentenced to exile."
Wang Xifeng's heart suddenly burst into trouble, and he hurriedly asked, "Two crimes are punished together?" Put the money in the print, that's what you want me to do, how can it be counted as a crime? ”
"Anyway, that's what the law says, if you dare to put money and exploit the people, you will have to raid your home!"
Mrs. Xue began to chant Buddha again, "You should have to copy the house, the seal is profitable, I don't know how many families have been ruined."
This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they deal with it fairly, and they don't know how many people have been killed outside!
Those who put the money in the seal are called by the gold slave and the silver maid, and they are really black-hearted! ”
Jia Mu also nodded, "It's this reason, the worst is still those who put money in the casino."
How many sons of rich and noble families have gone bankrupt overnight because of a gambling word and a printed money."
As he was talking, Xue Baobao came back again, and said with a smile, "And the wives and wives of those rich and noble families also put in the money!"
In the past, my father told me that the wife of a large family put money in prints, so that she could use some money to subsidize the family.
She has been fine for many years, and when her daughter-in-law enters the door, she will hand over the business to her daughter-in-law.
However, this daughter-in-law was not as lucky as her mother-in-law, she was denounced, the family property was confiscated, and she was divorced.
She argued that her mother-in-law told her to do it, and only then would anyone listen to her, and she would be sent away severely, so as not to shame the whole family.
The daughter-in-law hated it and hanged herself in front of her mother-in-law overnight.
On the other hand, the mother-in-law renewed the strings for her son and gave birth to a pair of twins, and her life was prosperous and proud.
The daughter-in-law's own daughter made someone else a mother, and she had to beg for a living under her stepmother, which is really pitiful and lamentable."
But it was Xue Baobao who didn't worry about Mrs. Xue, so he didn't leave at all, just stood under the porch, listening to what was said inside, but he didn't want to hear them talk about usury, so he couldn't help but walk in.
Mother Jia couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, Xue Baobao smiled and went to pull Wang Xifeng, "Sister Feng, the sisters said that they have something to look for you, send me to run errands, and bother my sister to go with us, right?" ”
Wang Xifeng was thinking that he didn't belong, and he was afraid that Jia Mu and Mrs. Xue would find out, so he took the opportunity to leave with Xue Baobao.
Xue Baobao's words just now were adapted from what happened to Wang Xifeng in the original book, just to scare Wang Xifeng and make her dare not put any more usury.
There are so many female characters in the Red Mansion, during this time, Xue Baobao has been in contact with a lot, and the favorite is definitely Lin Daiyu, but the one who admires it the most is Wang Xifeng.
Whether it is readers, or all kinds of red books, there are many praises for Wang Xifeng, and there are many criticisms.
Wang Xifeng's most criticized thing is, first, greedy for money, second, jealousy, and third, vicious.
In the eyes of Xue Baobao, a woman in the new era, Wang Xifeng's so-called "good jealousy" is definitely the clarion call of feminism!
I only hated Wang Xifeng that he was not jealous enough and not thorough enough, and in the end he left a feudal residual poisonous product - Ping'er.
And Wang Xifeng's "viciousness" reflects the most concentrated decency in the whole text, one is that the "poisonous Acacia Bureau" killed Jia Rui, and the other is that "borrowing a sword to kill" forced Second Sister You to death.
If you want Xue Baobao to say that Jia Rui is a bastard himself, do you dare to bastard Xiao Xiang's sister-in-law, don't kill him, and keep him to continue to harm society?
And the game that Wang Xifeng set up for him was just freezing him overnight, or drenching him with feces and urine, which was more similar to teasing.
What really killed Jia Rui was his own bastard who hollowed out his body, and later died according to Fengyue Baojian, which corresponded to the word "looking for death".
Wang Xifeng is the fuse, but it is not the root cause.
Let's talk about Second Sister You, not to mention the history of Second Sister You, just looking at her knowing that Jia Lian had already married a wife and had a daughter, but she still thinks about the second grandmother, but if she is a fleshy person, she wants to pinch her to death, and by the way, she will pinch Jia Lian to death.
asked Xue Baobao to say that Wang Xifeng's biggest failure was because of the limitations of the times, and he never thought of solving Jia Lian easily.
Let's talk about the first word "greed", this point is definitely a black history that Wang Xifeng can't wash off.
Wang Xifeng is absolutely greedy for money, but why is she greedy, and why does she need to engage in usury and meddle in lawsuits to make money?
It's not that Jia Lian, who is supposed to make money, knows how to spend money!
Jia Lian can get some skills from his ancestor Rongguogong, can Wang Xifeng still be happy to be another "rich idler" Shi Lao Taijun?
Wang Xifeng is a woman in the back house, illiterate, and her vision is limited, in addition to making money from a place she is familiar with, where else can she get it?
The misfortune of women in ancient times cannot be said to be 100%, but at least the vast majority were caused by men.
Thinking of this, Xue Baobao couldn't help but sigh secretly, but she didn't directly mention any usury, but talked about Lin Daiyu, lowered her voice and begged, "Sister Feng, don't bother the two masters."
Last time, my sister did our job so beautifully, so I have to ask my sister to do me another favor this time, and I will be grateful in the future! ”
Wang Xifeng reluctantly took his mind away from the loan shark, and scolded with a smile, "You are a bright-eyed person, you only ask yourself, how can I help with this matter?"
Today I only look at my aunt, the first bait under the ancestor will be mixed by you, and the next one, not necessarily.
Even if my aunt doesn't pick up the stubble of the ancestor, the ancestor will definitely not ask Sister Lin to stay here anymore when the ancestor is angry.
So, either Brother Bao stays or Sister Lin leaves, you have to choose one, and you can't let you get all the benefits."
Xue Baobao handed over a string of purses to Wang Xifeng, yes, it was a string of purses, each of which was only the size of a child's palm, embroidered with an auspicious and wishful style, and connected into a string with red threads, which was chic and cute.
"This is for Sister Qiao'er, and my sister will help me bring it back."
Wang Xifeng looked up and down and smiled, "It's funny and cute, Sister Qiao must like it, but, just this one purse wants to buy me?" ”
Xue Baobao didn't answer her words, and pointed to the willow green tassel draped princess dress he was wearing, "That was the idea I came up with, so that I can put a few more snacks around, so as not to skewer the taste, and this kind of Western princess dress is also the same."
Wang Xifeng was stunned and smiled, "It's true that our treasure girl is chic and clever, and I will only think about eating when you are still thinking about food!" ”
Xue Baobao also smiled, "This Western princess dress was sold out in various shops of the Xue family in Layue, and after the New Year, our family handed over all the business to the third uncle."
Because this Western princess dress was my idea, the third uncle took pity on me and promised that in the future, as long as the profits from the Western princess dress were made, I would add makeup."
Wang Xifeng is also a person who likes to make a fuss about dressing, she can dress up, and she likes to dress up, listening to her say that Yicheng is good for makeup, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, "How much is that?" ”
"From the first month to the present, exactly ten months, this number."
Wang Xifeng looked at the numbers she compared, and paused before speaking, "Six thousand silver? ”
Xue Baobao sneered, "My sister will coax me, six thousand silver, why is the third uncle embarrassed to give it to me?" ”
Wang Xifeng, "......"
The Xue family is rich, the Xue family is rich!
"The third uncle also told me that if there is such a good idea in the future, he will let the Xue family's shop send it, and he will still give me a profit.
My sister also knows that I don't pay much attention to what I wear and wear, that is, in order to make our wife happy, so I am more concerned.
A few days ago, because Sister Lin came, I came up with such a thing in order to coax her to eat more.
Sister Lin drew me a lot of new patterns and colors, just such a small thing, Sister Lin came to our house for more than three months, and she had three or four thousand silver."
Xue Baobao looked at Wang Xifeng meaningfully, "Sister Feng still says that a small purse can't impress people?" ”
Wang Xifeng grabbed Xue Baobao's hand suddenly, and a pair of Danfeng triangular eyes were hot, "Sister, do you mean to take your sister to get rich together?" ”
Xue Baobao pursed his lips and smiled, "Then it depends on whether my sister can let me and Sister Lin get what we want!"
It won't take long, just transfer Uncle Lin to the capital at the end of the year, or take Sister Lin back to Yangzhou."
That's it?
Wang Xifeng was overjoyed, "Sister, don't worry, I'll pack a ticket for my sister now, and I won't let my sister and Sister Lin have any trouble!" ”
Xue Baobao shook her hand heavily, and smiled happily, "So I love to play with my sister, no matter what, just leave it to my sister."
In this way, in the future, I will share this line with my sister, whether my sister has a good idea or a good ability to make those fresh and beautiful clothes and jewelry sell well, and the profits given by the third uncle, I will give all the profits to my sister, and I will never make money from it."
Wang Xifeng was angry, "Don't scold me, your Xue family can still fight with me for this idea, that is, my little family is angry, but it is a joke for my sister."
Xue Baobao praised her sincerely, "My sister makes money with her ability, how can I laugh?"
I'm going to laugh at the other wives and grandmothers in your house!
Yesterday, I heard from my brother that he had just caught the two people who put the money in the seal, but he was still shouting what to say, the wives and grandmothers of Rongguo Mansion were also putting money, why didn't they arrest them!
Compared with them, the little money my sister and I earned was cleaner than the snow on the Tianshan Mountains! ”
Wang Xifeng's heart, which was still hot just now, suddenly cooled, and he hurriedly asked, "Which wife and grandmother did they say?" ”
Xue Baobao only didn't know, "That's not what I said, my brother is also my sister's cousin."
Although the two of them were other wives and grandmothers, the elder brother could not let anyone slander the reputation of the Rongfu wives and grandmothers, and asked the elder sister to follow the words.
Immediately, he kicked the two of them a few times, telling them not to spray feces all over their mouths, and the two of them were afraid of beating, so they didn't shout anymore.
If my sister is curious, I will secretly ask my brother to ask him privately, but it is also easy."
She said it vividly, with action descriptions, language descriptions, and psychological descriptions, Wang Xifeng didn't expect her to lie to her with this kind of thing, and hurriedly waved her hand, "It's better not to use it, so as not to be difficult to be a person in the future, it's not good to say it, and it's not good not to say it."
Xue Baobao nodded in agreement, "My sister is right, I told my brother like this at the time."
If you don't know, if you know, they are all relatives, do you say it's good, or don't you say it's good?
If your words and deeds are accidentally brought out, it will attract hatred, so it's better not to know."
Wang Xifeng hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Good boy, you are a clear-eyed person, and you are very right, if your brother has something inappropriate, you have to persuade him a lot."
Xue Baobao agreed, and said, "I have a ready-made idea about my sister's Yichengli.
I heard that Brother Bao is very good at adjusting rouge gouache, and he uses lead powder at home, and he uses hosta flower sticks.
People's rouge is all sheets, but he makes it like rose paste, which is convenient and clean to use in a jade box, and can also be used as a blush.
If my sister can come to the recipe, the shop will make it according to the recipe, and my sister will take it to the wives, grandmothers, and girls who are familiar with her.
As long as they use it well, they all use it, and as soon as it is passed on to ten, ten to hundred, the sales will naturally be brought up, and within three months, at the end of the year at most, my sister will be able to see the profits."
As for why she knew what rouge Jia Baoyu had, she naturally had to thank Cao Dada!
Wang Xifeng was overjoyed, holding Xue Baobao's hand and praising again and again.
She is very confident in the recipe that wants to come to Jia Baoyu, as long as she coaxes a sentence of "so that all daughters in the world can use better rouge gouache", Jia Baoyu will send it over immediately, and she will find more fresh and better use to her.
The Yingchun sisters have read so many books, and it must be a coincidence, and the four girls also like to paint, so they can also be called to paint patterns, think about new clothes or something.
Xue Baobao smiled again, "Sister, I love you very much, and now we have become business partners again, in the future, I will only treat you as my own sister, sister, you are not allowed to dislike me!" ”
Wang Xifeng agreed repeatedly, this is the God of Wealth, the God of Wealth sent money to the door, and she wanted to be her own sister, she was stupid to rush out!
Wang Xifeng has always been eloquent and powerful, she didn't want to offend Jia's mother easily, but now that she has silver beckoning in front, she persuaded her to keep Daiyu under Jia's mother's blame, take Baoyu away, and return in vain.
After returning to Jiafu, Wang Xifeng didn't even want to wait for a moment, and went to Jia Baoyu's courtyard overnight to find him for a prescription.
Sure enough, as soon as she said a few words, Jia Baoyu gave it without hesitation, and said that if she got a good one in the future, she would give it back to her.
Early the next morning, Wang Xifeng sent someone to give the recipe to Xue Baobao, and at the same time used the reason that Jia's mother and others wanted to make fresh and beautiful clothes and jewelry, and told Sanchun to paint more tricks for her.
She is the head of Jiafu and the eldest sister-in-law, and she is full of promises to welcome spring and explore spring.
Xichun is still young, but she likes to paint, and Wang Xifeng even bought a full set of paints and brushes for her.
Xichun is also a little pitiful, her father only thinks about alchemy and becoming an immortal, and her brother can only eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and he doesn't care about her.
In the original work, when Jia's mother later instructed her to paint the Grand View Garden, she was a lady who was obsessed with painting, but she only had a few colors of paint and a few brushes, and Xue Baochai helped her make up for it.
Now that he has received Wang Xifeng's gift, he is full of gratitude, and he promises to draw tricks well.
Wang Xifeng got things done vigorously and resolutely, and began to think about printing money.
