The next day was June 6, the day of the festival, Li Weijian's son.

Early in the morning, Li Weijian got up, and everyone's maids came to send congratulatory gifts. On behalf of Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang, Li Kun first sent clothes, shoes and socks, longevity peaches, and silver silk noodles, and he sent a set of "Historical Records", only saying that it is wise to read history;

Jia Lian gave shoes and socks here, and also gave a silver pocket watch that he found out of nowhere, which shows that he has put a lot of thought into it;

Li Weijian knew Jia Lian's thoughts, and the shares of the coal mining company couldn't make a lot of money, but they were just a small profit. Li Weijian didn't care how many shares Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng bought in private.

Exploring spring and cherishing spring are still young, one sent an inscription fan, and the other sent a landscape painting; Sister Bao gave the jade elephant ornament of "Auspicious Elephant Peace"; Daiyu sent a sachet with her own hands; Xiangyun sent a silver-handled grassland knife; The second sister gave a scarf, and the two streamers were embroidered with fly-headed small letters, which were full of affection.

Jia Huan sent a pair of words, the handwriting was sloppy, but it was just fun.

As for Baoyu, he only sent a poem in response to the occasion, and he was also festive to look at.

The Li family's poetry and books in Jinling are not as superstitious as the magnates of Beijing. Because Li Weijian has neither exchanged his name charm, nor has he ever looked for monks and nuns to make offerings.

When I got up early in the morning, I just went to the front yard to set up heaven and earth incense candles, and after worshipping, I went to worship my parents' tablets, and then I put my uncle Li Shouzhong in the distance, and then I visited Li Kun and Jia Lian one by one.

After returning to the main room, Fu Qiufang, Qingwen, Xiangling, Hongyu, Xiuying and others came to worship Li Weijian. Li Weijian only said that 'Shoutou' was afraid of being blessed, so he only let the five people be blessed with a gift.

After breakfast, the girls came to congratulate Baoyu. For a while, the warbler Yanyan, the language was smiling, it was so lively!

Xiangyun, who was dressed in red yarn, came to congratulate first, blessed a gift, got up and said with a smile: "Fourth brother Jian, can I still agree with that gift?" ”

Li Weijian asked with a smile: "Sister Xiangyun is bothered. ”

Xiangyun raised his little face and said: "The second uncle learned that I was going to celebrate the fourth brother Jian's birthday, so he specially asked the third brother to take me to look for it on the street for a day, and finally saw this Mughul knife." I heard that it was forged with iron from the Western Regions, and it was the sharpest. ”

"When I look back, Sister Xiangyun thanked your second uncle on my behalf."

"It's saved."

Li Weijian secretly thought in his heart, expecting that the two brothers Shi Ding and Shi Nai had already discussed, because they had received the letter, they not only sent Xiangyun over, but also prepared a congratulatory gift in advance. Just looking at that beaming little face, Li Weijian smacked his lips, feeling that it was still too small.

This time Xiangyun is still young, talk about love with him...... It's too early.

Xiangyun stepped back, Tanchun stepped forward with a pout, and said, "Fourth brother Jian, my congratulatory gift is not as good as Xiangyun." But I also put my mind to it. ”

The third girl was blackmailed by Aunt Zhao a while ago, and her pocket was empty, so she could only make some female celebrities to make fun. Compared with what Li Weijian sent before, there is a distinction between high and low. It's because the little girl is quite embarrassed.

Li Weijian said: "The third sister is ingenious, the fan is embroidered very well, and now it is empty, which is right in my mind." ”

Tanchun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's good if the fourth brother is frugal, and the next time the fourth brother gives birth to a child, I will send a more hearty one." ”

After the spring visit, Xichun came up and said a few funny words. She is the youngest, and she is carved in pink, and it is interesting to say auspicious words.

In the follow-up, Baochai said a few words, Yingchun has thousands of knots, but he only opens his mouth to meet the occasion. She is not good at words, she has those eyes, and her strong affection can't hide it, and she looks at Li Weijian as if she is about to flow out.

Daiyu also stepped forward and said a few words, there were many people at this time, and it was not easy to say too many words that were distracting. It's just that after yesterday's experience, Daiyu relied more and more on Li Weijian in her heart. The brief companionship after dusk dispelled the depression in Daiyu's heart.

Na Baoyu's face was depressed, and he was always distracted, staring at Daiyu for a while, and staring at Li Weijian for a while.

Everyone had said congratulatory messages, but he was the only one left, and he didn't know anything. Xiangyun couldn't see it, and leaned over and said, "Brother Ai, can you also say a few words of congratulations?" ”

"Huh? Oh, then I wish the thrifty fourth brother Wei Rui prosperity and prolonging his age. ”

Xiangyun blinked, and laughed: "My brother Su Ri is the most able to say, why did he only say these two sentences this time?" ”

The previous sentence originally referred to the prosperity of plants and trees, and extended to the prosperity of people and smooth careers; The latter sentence means to prolong life, and it is a common congratulatory message when combined in one place.

It's just that Baoyu usually likes to be naughty the most, and when the sisters have children, he always says the most, and the congratulatory messages are also very innovative. At this time, he didn't have many words, and he was a little dull.

Baoyu sneered: "Xu didn't sleep yesterday, and he was still confused when he woke up in the morning." ”

Xiangyun said: "It turns out that my brother also recognizes the bed." Next time, it's better to love my brother than to learn from me, and bring a pillow everywhere you go, so it's much better. ”

Baoyu responded in a muffled voice, and Xiangyun turned back to find Li Weijian: "Fourth brother Jian, can you watch a drama today?" ”

"Yes, the opera troupe will arrive in a while, and I specially invited the Fengchun class."

Xiangyun suddenly clasped his palms and became happy: "Okay, I'll ask for a fat girl to learn later!" ”

At this time, Kunqu opera was too elegant, only circulating in the homes of powerful and large families, and the slightly more vulgar Hui troupe entered Beijing repeatedly, but it made a big name.

If history has not changed, after the four major Hui troupes, they gradually merged with various types of opera in Beijing, and formed the future Peking Opera.

This Fengchun class is a Kunqu opera troupe from Suzhou, which only flows in the homes of the powerful, and Li Weijian still asked Yan Fengzhen to invite it.

As he spoke, Hongyu walked in quickly, and said happily: "Fourth master, there is a word from the Ding Nursing Courtyard outside, saying that I saw the troupe go up the mountain." ”

Before Xiangyun could speak, the person behind him shouted, turned his head and ran out: "I'll take a look!" ”

It was Jia Huan who ran out. Tanchun wanted to speak and stopped, extremely helpless for this younger brother.

Li Weijian just smiled and bowed his head to Tanchun, and then got up: "Then let's go and take a look together." ”

The stage is ready-made, there is an open space in front of the new building, and the ground is covered with a curtain as a stage, so that everyone can go upstairs to watch the play, and it is also free from the suffering of the hot summer.

Without gossiping at the moment, the troupe came in, and Fu Qiufang set up tables and chairs in the Jianxin Building, prepared refreshments and fruits, and Yingying Yanyan went up to the Jianxin Building with Li Weijian.

The location on the second floor is the best, Li Weijian gave the second floor to the girls, and he went to the third floor with Jia Lian, Baoyu, and Jia Huan.

Separated from her sisters again, Baoyu became more and more like a pins and needles. The play cards took turns to pass their hands, Xiangyun really ordered one of the Journey to the West, and Daiyu discussed with Sanchun to order the West Chamber. When he arrived on the third floor, Li Weijian waved his hand and refused, and asked Jia Lian and Baoyu to take a look.

Baoyu was absent-minded, and randomly ordered a golden mink story, Jia Huan ordered a white snake story, and calculated more than a dozen folds, and the day was full.

Li Weijian has been a human being for two lives, has experienced information and entertainment bombardment, and he can't appreciate the babbling Kunqu Opera, so he talked with Jia Lian next to him.

After some gossip, Li Weijian thought about it for a while, and finally revealed the matter of the coal mining company.

"Second brother, prepare the money, about the end of this month, or the beginning of next month, there will be a quasi-letter."

"Oh?" When Jia Lian heard this, he suddenly perked up, and hurriedly leaned over and lowered his voice and asked, "Now that Brother Jian has leaked some words, I can go back and talk to her." ”

Li Weijian smiled and said nothing, and pointed to the northwest.

Northwest? It's not going to be a border war, is it? This has nothing to do with stocks, right? Jia Lian thought about it, but before it could be fruitful, Li Weijian gently spit out a word: "Coal." ”

"Coal mines?" Jia Lian knows the meaning of elegance when he hears the strings, and it can be said that he can understand it at one point.

"Brother Frugal, in this way, it must be the inner house-"

Li Weijian bowed his head and lowered his voice and said: "All the Xishan coal mines are in the hands of the Inner Government, and even a few scattered coal mines are also collected by the Inner Government. It won't be long before 200 million catties of coal will be sent to Jingshi, and this year's guarantee is a good livelihood of 200,000 taels.

Although the calculation is not as good as the water company, it is not bad. If the second brother doesn't want to get rich, he just wants to get some income every year, and this coal mine stock is the most stable. ”

When Jia Lian heard this, he was thoughtful, and immediately smiled at Li Weijian and said, "Brother Jian, don't say much, let's look back." ”

Li Weijian smiled and agreed. He befriended Jia Lian, one is that in this Rongguo Mansion, the second master Lian is the best to deal with, and he is reasonable and understands people's feelings; Second, he was going to leave the house after the autumn, and without his care, he was always afraid that his eldest sister would be wronged again.

With today's incense, it is expected that the big sister will be in trouble in the future, so Wang Xifeng will not stand idly by.

The two talked for a while, and Hongyu came upstairs again, and reported happily: "Fourth master, the second son is here to celebrate the fourth master's birthday." ”

Yan Fengzhen is here?

Li Weijian smiled and said to Jia Lian: "Brother Jingwen didn't say that he was empty before, but somehow, this time he rushed over again. ”

Hearing that it was the second son of the Shaosi Kou family, Jia Lian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and went to greet Li Weijian.

The two of them went downstairs, walked not far, and turned the path and bumped into Yan Fengzhen attracted by Xiuying. The second son was dusty, his face was tanned, he caught a glimpse of Li Weijian from afar, and Yan Fengzhen bared his teeth and said: "Resurrection, I came to congratulate." ”

Li Weijian first introduced Jia Lian and Yan Fengzhen, and then said, "Why did Brother Jingwen come here?" ”

"I'm going to give you a gift." Yan Fengzhen played with the taste: "The copper pimple of two hundred catties is so good that it has not come up the mountain." ”

Li Weijian blinked, and suddenly became ecstatic: "Something came out?" That's not right, didn't Director Chen say last time that it would be half a month younger? ”

Yan Fengzhen sneered: "Chen Laoshi has always left half of his words, and the day he left, the object was almost finished." I tried to fiddle with it for a long time yesterday, but I didn't figure it out, so I should be able to pretend to be a compound physiology, right? ”

At that moment, Li Weijian couldn't care about it anymore, threw off his stride and walked towards the garden gate, and said excitedly: "Yes!" I'm so good at it! Hahaha-"

………………………………………………………………

Li Weijian didn't talk about it for the time being, over there, Li Weijian and Jia Lian went to greet Yan Fengzhen, and only Baoyu and Jia Huan were left on the third floor, and a few maids waiting on the side.

Laughter and laughter floated from the second floor, and Baoyu became more and more uncontrollable. His hands crumpled his knees, and he finally got up.

Jia Huan on the side was eating the fruit, looking at the play below, he caught a glimpse of Baoyu getting up, and hurriedly asked, "What is the second brother going to do?" ”

Baoyu said casually: "I'll go and change clothes." ”

The two maids who attacked and charmed wanted to follow, but Baoyu only waved his hand and didn't let the two follow. He came down the stairs, and through the screen, he could vaguely see the sisters whispering, Daiyu was fighting with Xiangyun at this time.

He rejoiced in his heart, and couldn't help but take a few steps towards the screen. Suddenly, a familiar figure stopped in front of him, and when he looked at it, it was the maid Nian Xia who stopped in front of the house yesterday.

Baoyu suddenly felt displeased.

Nian Xia said: "Second Master Bao, this head is a female dependent, but it is not good to let a foreign man in." ”

Baoyu frowned and said, "Here are all my sisters, what kind of man am I?" ”

Nian Xia didn't care about this, and said straightly: "My aunt is still inside." ”

"It's-"

If he is still in Rongguo Mansion at the moment, and encounters such a situation, I am afraid that Baoyu will already have a temper and make trouble. However, this is Li Weijian's other courtyard, and he knows that he has no face even if he makes trouble.

Because of hatred, he lifted his robe and went downstairs.

Nian Xia saw that he was far away, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and entered the room, and said to Fu Qiufang in his ear, and Fu Qiufang bowed his head and praised him in a low voice. Nian Xia was suddenly overjoyed, and he went to his aunt's side for a long time, and now he finally got a compliment.

said that on the third floor, Jia Huan was lying on the window and snorting melon seeds, and casually threw the skin of the melon seeds, which fell all over the downstairs. This time he happened to be acting in Journey to the West, and the third master of Huan was very happy to see it.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Baoyu's figure in a gloomy shape, walking towards the water pavilion.

Huan Sanye's eyes rolled, thinking that Jia Lian and Li Weijian were going to entertain guests, and all the female dependents below were watching the play, and there should be no one in the garden to take care of them at this time, so he immediately took care of it.

Throwing a handful of melon seeds, Jia Huan suddenly covered his stomach and shouted, "Eh, it seems to have a bad stomach!" ”

The two maids who accompanied him suddenly came up to be concerned, Jia Huan waved his hand to rebuke the two maids, and only said: "I'll go to the thatched house, but I can't wait for you to slow down like this." ”

As he spoke, he got up, clutched his stomach and ran downstairs.

Seeing the new building, Jia Huan first ran towards the small courtyard of the guest house, and after hiding in the bushes, he bent his waist and touched the direction of the water pavilion.

At this time, Zi Baoyu was already standing on the peep fish bridge, staring at the water in a daze, and his mind was full of Li Weijian and Sister Lin looking at each other and smiling at dusk yesterday.

Thinking that she had annoyed Sister Lin before, Sister Lin turned her head and talked and laughed with Fourth Brother Jian, could it be that the sister who fell from the sky wanted to abandon herself and go?

At the thought of this section, Baoyu's heart suddenly twisted like a knife.

It was also at this time that Jia Huan quietly came out from behind the bushes, tiptoed to Baoyu's back, looked around, and saw that there was no one, so he immediately became angry from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts, and he raised his foot and kicked Baoyu's back waist!

"Go down to you!"

"Eh!"
