However, it was said that Jia Zhen led a few servants to rush towards Rongguo's mansion, but unexpectedly, he met a carriage from the west of Ningrong Street.

Jia Zhen didn't care, but the driver who was driving the car suddenly shouted: "Master, Uncle Rong and Second Master Qiang have suffered!" ”

"Huh?" Jia Zhen stopped, raised her eyes and glanced over, only to see that next to the driver who was driving the car was actually Lai Shangwen, the little servant next to Jia Rong. (Note 1)

Lai Shangwen cried with a sad face, jumped down without waiting for the carriage to stop, and opened the curtain to reveal Jia Rong and Jia Qiang who were humming and chirping in the carriage.

I didn't say it before, but it was said that along the way, Wu Haiping had a bad heart, and he picked a potholed place to go over, but Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were half dead.

In the end, he couldn't bear it, so he drove Wu Haiping and ordered his personal servant Lai Shangwen to catch the car. This Lai Shangwen has never done the work of a coachman, and he wields a whip indiscriminately, and he was fine at first. When they entered the inner city gate, the mule suddenly went berserk and went on a rampage, breaking the axle of the car.

Lai Shangwen hit a blue nose and swollen face, and the two goods in the carriage were even worse, Jia Qiang, who was originally just a flesh wound, actually broke her leg!

Lai Shangwen had to use the money and hire a carriage, so that he could get to the door of the house.

Lai Shangwen briefly intercepted and explained the reasons for the situation. However, Jia Zhen's mind is all about inviting Li Weijian to treat Qin Keqing, where can he be patient to pay attention to this matter?

Immediately frowned and scolded: "Good beast! Su Rili is used to provoking right and wrong, and I don't know how to be beaten this time! It's not that Lao Tzu has something to do now, and he will definitely teach you a lesson. Send him home, don't bother me! ”

Lai Shangwen was bored, so he had to urge the coachman to rush to the front Ning Guofu.

Jia Zhen secretly said that she was unlucky, and scolded Jia Rong in her heart, and led a group of servants to enter the Rongguo Mansion.

Ning Rong's two mansions were in the same breath, Jia Zhen only said that he was looking for Li Weijian, and the disciples and servants did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly assigned one person to lead the way.

Jia Zhen passed through the hall in front of the Yi Gate to the middle road, bypassed the East Cross Courtyard, and walked a short distance to Li Weijian's residence.

Before approaching, Jia Zhen let out a long sigh of relief, the anger on her face faded, and she smiled instead.

The servant came up to the door, and after a while a clever maid came up to him. Knowing that it was Jia Zhen who was visiting, Hongyu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly entered the room.

After a while, Li Weijian went out to greet him, and he arched his hand and said, "Why did Brother Zhen come?" Eh, don't wait outside, please come in. ”

Jia Zhen smiled: "I came uninvited this time, but I was a villain, don't be annoyed by Brother Frugal." ”

Li Weijian said: "Where is it? Brother Zhen is such a distinguished guest, I can't invite you to come every day. ”

Li Weijian smiled and let Jia Zhen into the room, and Jia Zhen caught a glimpse of the dishes on the table that had not been picked up. Immediately said: "Brother Jian hasn't eaten yet?" ”

Li Weijian invited Jia Zhen to sit down, and then sat down and said: "I came back a little late today, and before I arrived in the inner city, I met Brother Rong'er in your mansion, saying that Brother Rong and Brother Qiang were ambushed, so I had to vacate the carriage and let it carry Brother Rong and Brother Qiang back." ”

"What about this one?" Jia Zhen suddenly said: "Don't worry about the thrifty brothers in the future, that bastard has never known what to say, this time it may be that Su Ri provoked which noble son, so he was retaliated against." ”

Li Weijian responded with a smile, but secretly thought in his heart that Jia Rong was beaten twice, and Jia Qiang was also beaten once, and this revenge was avenged.

Jia Zhen paused and said what she meant: "Brother Jian, I came this time, one is because of that bastard thing last time, I wanted to invite Brother Jian to come over for some wine and banquet; Second, there is still a matter of asking for thrifty brothers. ”

"Brother Jane, but it doesn't hurt to say, I will do my best to help if I can."

Jia Zhen sighed faintly: "My daughter-in-law, Qin's family, has been sick for more than ten days, and the doctor has not been able to get better. I heard that Brother Jian is good at the art of Huang, this ...... Can you please give my daughter-in-law, the Qin family, a look? ”

Li Weijian said with a straight face: "Look, it's no problem, but I have to make it clear first." Brother Zhen, my medical skills are just ordinary, and it is okay to see a headache and brain fever, but I am afraid that it will not be successful. ”

"Brother Frugal, I'm too modest, but I heard that you have a secret recipe in your hand."

Li Weijian secretly thought, this mansion is really full of wind, and his allicin can't be hidden. Immediately, he bowed his head and said: "Okay, Brother Zhen said this, I don't know how to lift it if I push it again." ”

Jia Zhen was immediately overjoyed: "Okay, I know that Brother Jian is a cool one." In this way, without further ado, it is better to follow me as a thrifty brother. ”

Li Weijian was about to accept it, but suddenly someone outside called the door, Hongyu went over to ask, and reported when he came back: "Fourth master, the eldest master invited the fourth master to go to the East Cross Courtyard, saying that there is something to discuss with the fourth master." ”

Discuss? The night owl called the door to come without anything, this Jia pardon must have heard that he Li Weijian had shares in the water company.

"This—" He looked at Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen said: "Let's send it first, and say that Brother Jian will go to Dongfu with me today." If Uncle Forgiveness is to blame, just say that I forcibly pulled Brother Frugal. ”

Hongyu looked at Li Weijian, Li Weijian bowed her head, and she turned around to inform.

Without further ado, Li Weijian ordered Hongyu and Xiuying to accompany him, changed into an outsider, talked and laughed with Jia Zhen and walked towards Ning Guofu.

He is so thoughtful, Hongyu is clever, Xiuying's force value is off the charts, if something happens, he is expected to be able to support it for a while.

A group of people came out from the side door of the sandwich road, bypassed the private alley and turned to Ningrong Street, walked east and entered from the west corner gate, Jia Zhen pointed on the road, Li Weijian walked around and watched the flowers, saw the ancestral hall of the Jia family, and also saw the Huifang Garden hidden behind.

Jia Zhen invited Li Weijian to sit in the study, but Li Weijian said: "Don't be busy, Brother Zhen, since you are free at this time, it is better to go and see Brother Rong's daughter-in-law first." ”

"It's okay or fine." Jia Zhen was busy and agreed.

The two entered the corner gate and arrived at the courtyard of Dejia Rong, where they could hear the screams of killing pigs from afar. It happened that a doctor came out of the main room, saw Jia Zhen in person, and immediately reported: "Master, Uncle Rong is only afraid that he has broken his arm." ”

Jia Zhen only waved her hand and said impatiently: "I don't care if that animal lives or dies?" With such a shout, how can the Qin family recuperate? He turned his head to look at the little servant and said, "You went to invite Madame, and said that it is not suitable for the Qin family to recuperate here, so it is better to move the Qin family to the Madame's courtyard first." ”

The little guy answered, and hurried to give the order.

Jia Zhen stretched out her hand to invite again: "Brother Jian, please." ”

"Brother Jane, please."

The two entered side by side, ignoring Jia Rong, who was crying wolves in the West House, and went to the Dongnuan Pavilion, where they saw two maids serving Qin Keqing and dressed neatly.

Qin Keqing's face turned pale, and he sat up and bowed: "Master, fourth uncle." ”

Jia Zhen frowned and scolded, "Why did you get up?" I'm sick, it's not good to toss back and forth, just lie down. Cough...... Brother Jian is also his own relative, not an outsider. ”

Li Weijian didn't squint, and when the maid moved the round stool, he sat down, and checked Qin Keqing's pulse through the silk handkerchief, and asked a little about the symptoms.

Li Weijian's medical skills are at most two knives, and where can he see the strange inside. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Xu is thinking too much, Brother Rong's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law don't think too much, relax in everything, raise and raise, and this body will always get better." ”

Jia Zhen on the side bowed her head again and again: "Yes, yes, the imperial doctors in the house said so." Brother Jian, do you want to see if you can use your secret medicine? ”

Li Weijian got up and said, "It's okay, maybe there is some inflammation, my medicine is only effective against inflammation." In this way, tomorrow I will have someone to dispense the medicine when I have time, and when it is ready, I will have someone deliver it. ”

Jia Zhen smiled with relief: "There is a thrifty brother's secret medicine, it will be good if you think about it." While speaking, he glanced at Qin Keqing, and only after a while did he reluctantly look away and invite Li Weijian to the banquet.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were injured, and a deep house woman from the You family was not easy to accompany, so only Li Weijian and Jia Zhen were the only two at this banquet.

As soon as Li Weijian moved his chopsticks, Jia Zhen came, and he was hungry at this time, and he ate after drinking a glass of wine.

Because of Li Weijian's age, Jia Zhen is not easy to persuade to drink, so she can only drink cup after cup by herself. After a long time, Li Weijian has not done anything, but this Jia Zhen is drunk.

During the banquet, Jia Zhen talked more, and a few words would always turn to Qin Keqing, and he said that Qin Keqing was more than ten times better than his son Jia Rong. He would rather give up Jia Rong than keep Qin Keqing.

After drinking, Jia Zhen burst into tears, which overwhelmed Li Weijian!

Fortunately, the maid who served saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly invited You Shi to come, which solved Li Weijian's dilemma.

Because Li Weijian took a picture with You Shi. This You Shi was really born with a good color, and he was about the age of a, so he ordered someone to take Jia Zhen back, and on the other hand, he gave Li Weijian a ride, and said something like 'slow down', and then ordered the servant to pick up a lantern and send Li Weijian back to the house. (Note 2)

Don't mention this, and say that the eldest man is in the courtyard.

Since the maid replied that Li Weijian went to Dongfu with Jia Zhen, the eldest lord Jia Yu began to think wildly.

Pushing oneself and others, hearing that such benefits are in Li Weijian's hands, where can he not think about it?

Jia Yu and Na Jia Zhen indulged in their indulgence at home for a long time, and they were very compatible, but this time they slandered Jia Zhen and secretly scolded Jia Zhen for eating alone.

While he was thinking nonsense, he sent someone to listen to the letter to see when Li Weijian would come back. Wait, just wait for the last change.

The maid finally came to report, saying that she saw Li Weijian being sent back by the servants of the Eastern Mansion.

Jia Yu had the heart to look for Li Weijian this time, but he also knew that it was dark outside, and he was afraid that it would be inappropriate. Because of the sorrow, I didn't even have the mind to play a naughty concubine.

Mrs. Xing stayed by the side for two hours, and finally couldn't help but start: "Master, I see that you are worried, what is the matter with this?" ”

"Women, you don't understand!" After scolding, Jia Yu sat down with a golden knife and took a cup of tea and drank it. Xu was really uncomfortable in his heart, so he said: "Master, I got good news today, the inner government wants to run a water company......

He told Madame Xing about the letter he was about to get.

Hearing this kind of business of ensuring income in drought and flood, sitting on the land and dividing the money, Mrs. Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she wondered: "Since this is the case, the master directly bought that share, how can he care about the frugal brother?" ”

"What do you know?" Jia Yu lowered his voice and said: "The idea of the water company was born by Li Weijian!" There is news circulating in the inner house, saying that the saint is grateful for Li Weijian's work and has set aside a share for him. ”

"Huh? Ishikassing! Mrs. Xing was taken aback: "This ...... This year, there is a silver of one or two thousand in the account, right? ”

"One or two thousand? Millions of people in Beijing, throwing away more than 300,000 taels of silver every month, cutting half of it is also a small 200,000 taels, and distributing interest according to shares, Li Weijian can enter 20,000 taels of silver in a month! ”

"Twenty thousand taels!" Mrs. Xing turned the door up and deformed, almost breaking the sound.

With such a family business as Rongguofu, how much is it recorded per year? I'm afraid it's not as good as Li Weijian's monthly account!

Mrs. Xing has secretly bought herself a head over the years, and the family funds she has saved are not worth mentioning compared to them.

Mrs. Xing's heart was beating wildly in shock, and it took a long time to calm down, and then she remembered why Jia Yu cared so much about the relatives who couldn't be beaten.

"What does the lord mean—"

Jia Yu said: "Li Weijian has won the appreciation of the saint, and has such a family business, if he is married to Yingchun Xu——"

"Golden beetle son-in-law!"

"Ah! Isn't it the golden beetle son-in-law! Jia Yu clasped his palms together and praised, and said casually proudly: "When I get married, I, as a father-in-law, will ask my son-in-law for some money to spend, and he can't turn him away, right?" Besides, our family background is here, and Yingchun is married to him, this bride price...... Why don't you want to give some shares? ”

Mrs. Xing suddenly laughed so much that she almost drooled: "What the master said is true." ”

Jia Yu laughed a few times, and suddenly frowned: "It's a pity that Brother Zhen took the lead this time, if this is a pity, we will be empty of bamboo baskets." ”

"No, Xichun is only eight years old, where is there such urgency?" Mrs. Xing was anxious, and as soon as the words came out, she pushed herself and others, thinking that Xichun was not well received in Dongfu, so Jia Zhen didn't care at all?

She suddenly became more and more anxious: "No, I have to handle this matter." After thinking about it, she calculated: "The second girl is fourteen, and Li Weijian is thirteen, and she is quite old." This will be settled, and the marriage will be completed exactly two years later.

No, I have to call the second girl to mention it tomorrow. Then lead the second girl to take a look at Li Weijian? ”

Jia Yu had already drilled into the eyes of the money, and completely ignored the Spring Breeze comment, and only said: "Okay, that's it." Yingchun was born with a good appearance, and I heard that the few maids who Li Weijian was holding around were all good colors, so that the two of them had more contact, I didn't believe that the surname Li was not moved! ”

"The master is so calculating!" Mrs. Xing smiled and praised.

The couple looked at each other, and they were immediately overjoyed, thinking about the income of that one percent of the stock per year, eh, I didn't dare to think about it.

Xu was chattering a lot, and Li Weijian, who had just washed up, sneezed again and again, which caused Qingwen to be concerned. urged Li Weijian to drill the quilt, and added more hoarfrost charcoal to the smoked cage, and finally Qingwen gritted her teeth, and simply drilled Li Weijian's quilt in her middle coat.

Qingwen tilted her head to look out of the bed, and said in a low voice: "I, I'm afraid that the fourth master will get cold again at night." ”

"Hmm." Li Weijian reached out and took Qingwen in his arms, felt the exhalation like an orchid, and gently patted her back: "Sleep." ”

Note 1: Two characters, one of Lai Sheng's two sons, the original text did not mention the name.

Note 2: Some book friends raised objections to You's age, I checked, when you admired the moon in Tubi Villa, You claimed to be in her forties, and Jia Zhen had been a husband and wife for more than ten years. And several analyses say that it is about thirty-two at this time.
