Li Weijian was dressed in a moon-white spring shirt to greet the general, and he saw Li Kun leading Jia Lan into the door from a distance.

I haven't seen her for many days, and the eldest sister Li Kun is wearing a light blue bamboo cloth gown, a moon-white stand-up collar jacket, and a cloth skirt of the same color.

Li Weijian smiled and stepped forward to greet him, leading Li Kun and Jia Lan into the house. It was still early at this time, so Li Weijian sent the three maids Hongyu, Xiuying, and Xiangling to the kitchen to urge the food.

Qingwen waited for the tea, and Li Weijian said with a smile: "After coming to Beijing for a while, I thought that I had never spoken well to my eldest sister, so I simply bought a banquet. Let's talk about it today. ”

Lan Ge'er was still young, and he had already been led aside by the maid and mother-in-law to play naughty, Li Kun said with a smile: "Why do you want to be so foreign? The kitchen is also accustomed to high and low, and thrifty brothers spend a lot of money on communication, so they always have to save it. ”

"Ha," Li Weijian said: "The eldest sister is indeed wrong, don't you hear that it has already spread all over the house, saying that I, Li Weijian, have already made a fortune?" ”

Li Kun was solemn, and hurriedly asked: "I was about to ask Brother Jian'er, there have been many rumors in the past two days, and it has been said that Brother Jian'er has made a fortune...... What's going on? ”

"It's a long story," Li Weijian immediately said the plan for the rest ......of the month.

Li Kun listened attentively, and first heard that Li Weijian spent a lot of money to build water pumps and dig wells, and couldn't help but be a little secretly worried; Then he heard the sweet water again, and the saint favored him, and allocated a hundred shares, Li Kun couldn't help but feel refreshed.

As the old saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister is like a mother.

Li Weijian was suddenly uncomfortable with the boss, and said awkwardly: "Why does the big sister look at me like this?" ”

Li Kun smiled and said, "My brother is out, I can't take a look at it yet?" ”

Li Weijian was speechless for a while, thought about it, and simply took out the deed from his arms and gently pushed it in front of Li Kun.

"Big sister, look."

"This is-" Li Kun picked it up and looked at it carefully, and suddenly his face became solemn: "-Brother Jian'er, what did you say?" I can't ask for this! ”

"Don't worry," Li Weijian said: "-This share is for Lan Ge'er, and the eldest sister is just in charge for the time being." I, as an uncle, have to buy some family business for Lan Ge'er. ”

"That's too much—"

Li Weijian interrupted: "If you don't bring it in life or die, why should the big sister care?" Besides, it's just a penny, and I still have nine cents left in my hand. Don't rush to the side, just take care of the big sister's clothes that day, what's wrong with me sending some shares to Lan Ge'er? ”

"This—" Li Kun bit his lower lip lightly, hesitating.

Since Jia Zhu's death, the people in Li Kunyuan's children have died or dispersed, and Mrs. Wang, her mother-in-law, has always faced each other with a cold face. It is not easy for the old lady to pity her orphans and widows, and I am afraid that this day will become more and more difficult.

Although Li Kun has a soft temperament, he is a smart person. Although the situation between the DPRK and China is not well understood, but looking at the internal situation of the Rongguo Mansion, we know that this time is only afraid that it will flourish and decline.

The third generation of the rich heirloom family of the capital died, and now the Jia family has passed the fourth generation, how can there be a reason for the world to be prosperous for a long time?

Therefore, Li Kun quietly accumulated his family business, for himself and for Brother Lan, he could have some money to defend himself when the building was about to collapse in the future.

In Su Ri, Li Kun is extremely thrifty, and he only picks up cheap and meaningful ones when he ushers them in. When Li Weijian entered the Beijing Division, Li Kun's attitude was different.

has been raised by her side for a year, but she treats Li Weijian as her own brother. Because he was extremely generous, he sent two hundred taels of silver that day.

The matter was about to go out, and Wang Xifeng said something very strange, only saying that Li Kun was far and near, and he had never regarded himself as a member of the Jia family.

Li Kun didn't care when she heard it, she and Wang Xifeng were just nodding friends.

I never expected that Brother Jing Jian would toss such a family business after the moon!

Now it's giving away a penny of shares. It sounds good to Lan Ge'er, but Li Kun doesn't know in his heart, this is clearly Li Weijian's act of repaying his kindness?

Li Kun naturally wanted this family business, but after thinking about it, he still had to refuse.

"Brother Frugal—" She pushed the deed back.

Without waiting for him to say the follow-up, Li Weijian got up and leaned forward, crossed the table and pushed it on the deed, and because of the eagerness on his face, he actually stuffed the document directly into Li Kun's hand.

"Big sister, if you push me again, you won't treat me as your own brother. Big sister, do you have to ask me to kneel down and beg you? ”

A pair of hot hands held his hands tightly, Li Kun's heart was moved, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and he sighed and bowed his head again and again: "Okay, okay, I'll just accept it." Brother Frugal...... It's really out of here. ”

Li Weijian saw that he no longer refused, so a smile appeared on his face. Suddenly, he eagerly held Li Kun's hands, and his heart was a little strange, and then he took his hands with a smile on his face and said, "That's right." Don't talk to a family. I think Brother Lan is a clever person, and I can't say that I can't get the title of the gold list in Japan, and I, as an uncle, still have to count on Brother Lan to carry me. ”

Li Kun bowed his head again, got up and said, "Bring Brother Lan." ”

The grandmother hurriedly brought Jia Lan over, and Li Kun reprimanded with red eyes: "Lan'er, I will be filial to your uncle in the future, if there is disobedience, I will not allow you to be a mother!" ”

Li Weijian couldn't cry or laugh: "Big sister, what are you doing?" How old is Brother Lan? Then he said to the nurse: "Don't scare Brother Lan, take it down and be naughty." ”

When he sat down again, Li Weijian gossiped, and Li Kun cleaned up his mind and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Since Jia Zhu's death, the Li family only sent his brother over to offer condolences, and since then, his mother has occasionally written a letter to the family, and there is no other contact. Her first two brothers were both from the previous original wife, and the age difference was a lot, and they were not close to her.

I never thought that I would be kind in the boudoir that day, and I ended up getting this frugal brother's good son!

At this time, a few maids in Li Weijian's room came in with food boxes, and they couldn't count eight dishes, but they were exquisite. In addition to the flavor of Jinling, there are still fresh hot spring dishes such as leeks, garlic sprouts, cabbage, and cucumbers, which shows that Li Weijian has put his mind into it.

As soon as Li Kun asked, Li Weijian smiled and said, I saw a hot spring vegetable seller yesterday, so I simply bought half a car and came back. Except for the purchase of this table, the rest is regarded as adding food to each room.

"Brother Jian really has a heart." Li Kun praised it without a mouth.

Several dishes were tried one by one, and because she was in a good mood, she also drank a few cups of osmanthus thick wine. It is also because of this that the dead gray complexion of the tree gradually became rosy.

During the banquet, watching Li Weijian talk eloquently, Li Kun only listened with a smile, and sometimes echoed it. But my heart began to think wildly. Brother Jian was just at his waist that day, and he didn't want to be so big in a flash. Born Zhilan Yushu, I am afraid that in two years, I will be a head taller than myself.

At that time, I don't know whose girl will be cheaper...... She suddenly felt reluctant, thinking that if Brother Frugal became a family, she was afraid that there would be no time to drink wine like this, right?

This banquet was full of food at the right time.

Li Kun suddenly came over and caught a glimpse of the sky outside, so he reluctantly took Jia Lan to leave.

Xu is greedy for a cup, and Li Weijian is a little arbitrary. After sending Li Kun, he returned to the house and beckoned: "I just patronized the wine, but this dish has not moved much, you all come, accompany the master and me to have a few drinks." ”

Qingwen didn't care about the master and the slave the most, so she came over and sat down with a smile, and said: "The fourth master didn't say that I would taste it in the future, and this fresh leafy dish is pleasing to look at." ”

Xiu Ying followed closely behind, sat down with a big grin, and looked at the roast duck drooling: "This Fuzhong cuisine is too warm, I haven't eaten roast duck for a long time." "She has a pure temperament, since Li Weijian has spoken, listen to it.

On the contrary, Xiangling and Hongyu are worried. Xiangling is a stupid person, and she wants to talk and stop; Hongyu had to smile and said: "The fourth master is afraid that he has drunk too much, where is there a maid to sit at the same table with the master, it is a violation of the rules." ”

"I'll make an exception today, and I'll not take it as an example." Li Weijian said indifferently.

Hearing him say this, Hongyu didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she had to pull Xiangling into the table.

A few maids tasted the green vegetables, and felt extremely refreshing, and then drank the thick wine, which was sweet and sour. Qingwen listened to it for a long time, and then asked, "Fourth master, they all said that you made a fortune, how much money did you make?" ”

"It's hard to say."

"Why is it hard to say?"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "I didn't change hands and went out, so naturally it's hard to say." ”

Qingwen pondered: "That...... Can there be a few thousand taels? I saw that the grandmother's face changed, I'm afraid it's a few thousand taels, right? ”

"Well, almost, you guess higher."

"Tens of thousands of taels?" Qingwen's face changed suddenly, and then she said happily: "That's really a real career." ”

A few maids chattered and said that they were going to get up, but Xiangling was dumbfounded, and only glanced at Li Weijian from time to time, her eyes full of reverence.

Li Weijian sat on the chair with a wine glass, only looked at it with a smile and didn't speak. At the moment, I only feel that the years are quiet, and I only hope that it will last for a long time.

Today is wanton, and in the coming day, I will have to pick up my tail and be a man, and I must not my tail to be proud, let alone slack off. You must know that life is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.

He now has the blue eyes of a saint, so that such a child will not attract the covetousness of the Quartet. It's just that this blue eye is also time-sensitive, and after a year or two, the saint forgets it, and if it doesn't become strong at that time, I'm afraid that cats and dogs will dare to pounce on it and bite it.

Li Weijian sighed and muttered, "I still have to be motivated." ”

Qingwen heard it closely, turned her head and joked with a smile: "Fourth master, take a break, this thing is counted in the two mansions, which one is more motivated than the fourth master?" The fourth master is still young, but he has to take care of his body. ”

Hongyu also said: "Yes, the fourth master is not short of money now, and he must study hard." It's March, and August is autumn, so there's not much time to prepare. ”

The girl Xiuying gnawed on the duck leg and said vaguely: "A total of good energy!" ”

A few maids looked at it, and they were immediately overjoyed, and they all smiled and said, "Swallow it and talk again!" Choke again! ”

………………………………

The next day was the first day of March.

Li Weijian is still young in the end, he drank a lot of thick wine yesterday, and he got up a little late today. He thought about running for more than a month, but now he can be lazy? Because of this, he was lazy.

immediately called Xiuying and asked her to inform Wu Haiping that she didn't have to wait any longer, and then Shi Shiran let Qingwen and Xiangling wait and put on their clothes.

Lazy Yang had just had breakfast and was thinking about what to do, when a mother-in-law came to inform him, saying that the eldest wife, Mrs. Xing, was coming to visit in a while.

Li Weijian was tired in his heart, knowing that the eldest man and the eldest lady were a pair of fools, and he was extremely unhappy to deal with them, but it was always difficult to turn them away.

Because he hurriedly ordered a few maids to pick up, he changed into green shirts, waited for a while, and heard that Hongyu reported that the eldest lady was coming, so Shi Shiran went out of the door.

When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw a few maids and mothers-in-law with half of the old and the second girl coming in to welcome the spring. (Note 1)

Li Weijian hurriedly stepped forward to salute. After some greetings, Mrs. Xing glanced up and down and said, "Brother Jian is really born romantic, no wonder the eldest master has no praise when he sees it." ”

Will Jia Yu praise him? Whoever loves to believe in this nonsense will believe it. I'm afraid that the eldest lord Jia Yuhun didn't take him Li Weijian seriously, and he would have forgotten that he offended him that day, right?

This little grudge, Li Weijian will only keep it in his heart, and if there is another side in the future, it will be no wonder that he Li Weijian uses methods.

Because he smiled and said humbly: "The eldest lord has praised it falsely, the eldest lady...... The second girl, please speak in the house. ”

The group entered the house, the maid served fragrant tea, and the second girl Yingchun only sat with a shy face and a hanging head on the side, and a pair of hands twisted the handkerchief, eager to wring the handkerchief out of the water; Mrs. Xing only said flattering words.

first said that Li Weijian was good, and then said that he was talented and learned, and then said that he was capable.

Although it is said that thousands of people wear sycophants, the fact that Mrs. Xing pats sycophants is bad, and Li Weijian is self-contained, otherwise he would have to dig out a cellar with his toes.

The car said a lot of words, and only then did the eldest lady say: "Brother Jian, I came to look for you this time, but I actually have something to ask for." ”

Li Weijian said: "The eldest lady is polite, even if you have something to do, I will do it if you can do it." ”

Mrs. Xing smiled coquettishly: "I know that Brother Jian is a warm-hearted person. That's the case, the eldest man in Layue was sick, so he sent someone to Shuiyue Nunnery to make a wish, and the result was really good, and it was a great deal a year ago.

I thought I would go to repay my vows in the first month, but there were too many things to procrastinate, so I delayed it. Now that this is about to be clear, the eldest master just remembered it again, so he sent me and the second girl to repay his vows for him. But unfortunately, both of them in Dongfu were injured, and Brother Lian was busy these days.

I really couldn't ask for an escort, so I thought about it, so I had to ask for Brother Jian'er. Brother Jian'er, I don't know if you can be free tomorrow? ”

After that, Mrs. Xing smiled and touched Yingchun with her elbow: "Second girl, for the sake of the eldest master, you also beg for a thrifty brother." ”

Yingchun raised his head shyly, met Li Weijian's sharp eyes, and suddenly lowered it again, and said softly: "Brother Jian...... I...... You ......"

Si Qi behind him couldn't bear it, looked at Li Weijian with a burning eye, and said: "Fourth Master Jian, our girls have spoken, if you have leisure, you might as well go." ”

Note 1: According to what Xing Dequan said, and Jia Yu only had the idea of infertility after the death of Yingchun's mother, it was roughly calculated. According to the calculation of Mrs. Xing's eighteenth marriage, Yingchun is fourteen at this time, so it is unlikely that she will be more than thirty-two years old, and the maximum number is taken here.
