Chapter 156: Autumn is coming

"Milk."

Li Weijian responded with a smile.

Daiyu said angrily: "I've seen gel milk, but this shape-"

"Duck." Li Weijian said: "I wanted to make a duck call, but I couldn't fiddle with the whistle, so I could only make a mouse call." ”

Daiyu pinched the suckling duck in her hand, and felt that she was cute and cute. Gathered it in his hand, he bowed down to Li Weijian and said, "Thank you, Fourth Brother Jian." ”

The snow goose on the side said: "This milk is not tolerant, and it will become hard and brittle in three or five months." ”

Li Weijian said: "It's ordinary milk, but I'm different." I dare not say more, a year is definitely no problem. ”

Daiyu pondered: "Fourth brother is thrifty these days...... Could it be that you're just fiddling with it? ”

Li Weijian stretched out his hand to invite, and the two walked side by side along the path, saying: "This thing is just incidental, what I really want to do is still lacking." ”

Tires should be black, why are sulfur mixed with rubber and heated brown? And the abrasion resistance is not satisfactory. Li Weijian pondered, can't he get some ink when he turns around, or simply add toner? We don't know.

Daiyu groaned and persuaded: "It's not a few days before the autumn season, and the fourth brother is a bamboo in his chest, but he always has to take the exam quietly." ”

"Well, that's what my sister said."

Holding the suckling duck in both hands, Daiyu followed Li Weijian's side step by step, although she didn't say anything, her heart was extremely stable. Probably, is it because he understands her?

Her mother died early, and she came to Rongguo Mansion since she was a child, and what Daiyu asked for was not brocade clothes and food, but that you know me, I understand your heart.

Although Baoyu knows her, she is hindered by her own temperament and always goes against Daiyu's thoughts; Li Weijian next to him is different, Xu is two years older, and he looks calm and moderate. There is poetry in his heart, but he can endure the temperament to run around in this turbid world.

Recently, Baochai has had a lot of dealings with it, or send some food, or send some use, from time to time, although Daiyu's temperament is not compatible with Sister Bao, but also because of these kindness feelings. Not to mention the thrifty fourth brother who is compatible with his heart.

Thinking about Fang Caijian's fourth brother interpreting the words, the words about Daiyu are in the words. As for Sister Bao, Daiyu was a little puzzled. Because he was walking for a while, he asked in a low voice: "Fourth Brother Jian said that Sister Bao and I came in reverse?" ”

"yes." Li Weijian said: "Miss Xue's family, can my sister know?" ”

"I know a little bit about it."

Li Weijian said: "The Xue family has eight rooms, and in Jinling, the three families of Jia Shiwang are called the four families. In fact, the Xue family was in decline at the earliest, and the ancestors were just Ziwei Sheren, and now they are just a royal businessman, with no title inheritance, and the children of the family have never taken the road of imperial examinations.

When Sister Xue's father was still alive, he relied on his sophistication to communicate with dignitaries and dignitaries, and maintained the Xue family's family business. As soon as his father passed away, the head of the family became a dumb overlord like Xue Pan, and it was just a matter of coaxing him up and down, and the jackals, tigers and leopards outside peeked into the reality of the Xue family, where could they bear it? ”

Daiyu is only in her early tens, and she is still young, and she is faintly aware of some things, but she is not as clear as Li Weijian.

"Especially Brother Xue, who is also involved in a lawsuit."

"Yes, Jiayu Village, the prefect of Jinling...... This person is my sister's Mr. Xixi? I don't know what to do with my sister? ”

Daiyu pondered: "Sir is humble and polite, and he is excellent. A few years ago, it was also my husband who escorted me to Rongguo Mansion. After a pause, he said: "I have heard occasionally, it seems that my father recommended Mr., and the master ran for him and took the path of the former Qian Tianguan, and Mr. became the prefect of Jinling."

Fourth Brother Jian asked like this, but Mr. is a little inappropriate? ”

"It's hard to say." Li Weijian said with a smile: "Xue Pan's case, there are many ways to deal with it. It is said that the Feng family withered, and the repeated requests were just to get a few more taels of silver. Jia Yucun obviously had a better way to deal with it, but he left the beginning and the end and was sentenced to die of a violent illness. As a result, there is no such person as Xue Pan in this world. ”

Daiyu is smart in the end, and then she clicked on the breakthrough: "That imperial businessman-"

"Even if the emperor's foundation is not lost, it has nothing to do with the Xue family's big house. Heh, you can't let Xue Pan, the living dead, make a name in the inner house, right? ”

Daiyu bowed her head, and Li Weijian walked with his hands in his hands and said: "Now that even the imperial businessman is gone, the Xue family's big house is just a businessman." Xue Pan is a muddy person again, in order to keep the family business, what do you say Sister Xue should do? ”

"Enter the palace election, raise your own value, and then marry the nobles." Daiyu is concise and to the point.

Li Weijian praised: "My sister is smart. Yes, Sister Xue knows that she can't help herself, so she keeps her heart inside and her body outside. ”

After Li Weijian said it, Daiyu's heart was free, and she finally understood why it was always a little awkward to get along with Sister Bao in Su Rili. It turned out that Sister Bao never showed her sincerity when she interacted with people.

Daiyu felt pity in her heart, some pity, and some introspection. In the future, when you get along with Sister Bao, you have to be careful, you must know that people do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts.

Because it was Daiyu, she said: "Thank you Fourth Brother Jian for mentioning it, I know." ”

"Hmm."

Turning the trail, when she arrived at the back of the poppy, Daiyu stopped slightly, and suddenly remembered the situation when she met Li Weijian across the grass and trees that day. Li Weijian saw that he stopped, and after a little thought, he understood Daiyu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Sister, wait a minute." ”

He walked a few quick steps around the grass and trees, and after a while, he arrived in front of the poppy beauty, squatted down and suddenly looked up: "It's Sister Lin." ”

Daiyu suddenly covered her mouth and smiled: "I've seen Fourth Brother Jian!"

Under the eyebrows of Yanyan, those eyes that seemed to be crying but not crying were full of smiles. Li Weijian secretly wondered how good it was to be happy every day, and hoped that Daiyu would be like this in the future.

……………………………………………………

I didn't feel the spring grass dream of the pond, and the sycamore leaves in front of the steps have autumn sounds.

In the blink of an eye, it was August, and the newspaper reported that the Shixue Township Test was scheduled for August 18, which was 10 days staggered by Confucianism. The day is approaching, don't say Li Weijian, even the second son, Yan Fengzhen, was also locked in the study and temporarily picked up the Buddha's feet.

The eldest sister Li Kun was the most nervous in her heart, and prepared a basket early in the morning, with pens, ink, paperweights, and inkstones, as well as oilcloth tops, roller blinds, gauze tents, and a small pot.

Although it is not as hot as June and July, it is cool in the morning and evening, but it is also roasted at noon.

The food is not durable for a long time, so Li Kun tried his best to prepare plate duck, roast chicken, and all kinds of durable dim sum. The staple food is shredded chicken noodles bought from Sanheju.

This noodle is boiled in water, the entrance has its own taste, and eating a bowl is to eat a whole chick, after eating all day is not hungry, and full of strength.

The exam date is approaching, and the eldest sister Li Kun has come twice in three days, and she is admonished and instructed, but she is more attentive than Li Weijian.

Not only the eldest sister is like this, but even Fu Qiufang, Qingwen, Xiangling, and even the second girl is welcoming spring. According to the usual practice, Li Weijian was originally going to spend the night at his house yesterday, but after dinner, Fu Qiufang became obsessed, and then urged Li Weijian to go back to Rongguo Mansion first, only to take Qiu Qiu and then serve well;

The day before yesterday, I went to see the second sister Yingchun, and the same is true for Yingchun. let Li Weijian get over his addiction, so he urged him to go back to read;

In the past few days, several maids have not dared to speak loudly, and once Li Weijian enters the study, they will speak softly and softly, for fear of disturbing him.

The people around him were so careful, which made Li Weijian, who didn't care about it a little, a little nervous.

Seeing Qingwen tiptoe again, Li Weijian really couldn't hold it back, got up and walked out of the study and said: "It's almost okay, it's just Qiuqiu, master, I can't be so nervous." ”

Qingwen said: "The fourth master is not good at talking so much, the second master Guan is still careless in Jingzhou, the fourth master has a bottom in his heart, and it is not easy to publicize." ”

Li Weijian walked over and hugged the water snake's waist and said with a smile: "I know, I haven't been publicized outside, and I won't let me tell a few words of truth at home?" ”

Qingwen said: "I just reminded the fourth master." Oh, I'll go to sleep on the couch tonight, and we've all discussed, so that the fourth master has slept enough these days. ”

Li Weijian suddenly cried and laughed: "How can it be?" When did I not get enough sleep? ”

Qingwen broke free, walked two steps quickly to the door, and then turned around and said: "In short, the fourth master has to put his mind on the autumn and think less about what he doesn't have." ”

"Wait a minute, why don't you see the red jade?"

Qingwen said: "Hongyu said that the house has been peaceful these days, and the fourth master should not inquire about those messy things, and take care of his thoughts." ”

"It's not...... So what's wrong with Xue Pan, you have to tell me, right? ”

Qingwen frowned displeased and said, "What else?" It was the decent great-grandson of the Guogong Mansion who broke Uncle Xue's head, and those who did it also had a background, what else could the Xue family do except admit bad luck? ”

With that, Qingwen turned around and left. Li Weijian looked at Qianying's itching in his heart, he was used to eating meat, and suddenly he had to be vegetarian for a few days, which was really itchy. Thinking that although Si Qi met with Ai Ai, he never mentioned a private meeting, and Li Weijian put out his thoughts.

Anyway, it's only three days and two nights, and it's over after staying up. Fortunately, you only need to take one exam in this real Qiuqiu, not three consecutive exams like ordinary Qiuqiu, otherwise you will really have to boil to death.

He was annoyed in his heart on this side, and Jia Yu, the eldest lord in the other side, thought about it again.

East across the courtyard, in the main room.

The eldest lord Jia Yu was talking to the eldest lady, Mrs. Xing. Last month, coal stocks were on sale, and the eldest lord Jia Yu Bendao relied on his relationship with Li Weijian to make a move from it, and he would always get some benefits.

Who expected the saint to ...... is not particular, this time he did not pull out a dime, and he never shared any shares with Li Weijian. He scolded the sage for being stingy in his heart, but he was also very understanding afterwards.

In other words, he is the emperor of Zhenghe, and the water affairs stock just let Li Weijian get great benefits in the past, so he can't give anything in the future.

There is no windfall, but fortunately, the income in summer and autumn has gone into storage. The eldest lord Jia Yu has a field property under his name, and he is in the same place with Mrs. Xing, and it is only 3,000 taels of silver. This little bit of silver is not enough to stuff your teeth, what is it enough for?

Because of this, the couple discussed how to open up the ...... I don't want to throttle, don't say it's Jia Yu, who is used to being rich, even Mrs. Xing doesn't want to be as poor as when she was out of the cabinet.

The eldest lord Jia Yu said: "This road can have four thousand taels in one place, but it is easy to catch up with a good year, but the grain is cheap and hurts the farmers." The calculation is not much different from last year. These coins are not enough to spend. ”

Mrs. Xing said with a bitter face: "Don't forget, sir, there are still eight thousand taels of silver for that frugal brother." ”

"There's no rush on this...... It's fifteen years after the turn of the Spring Festival, and it's time to discuss relatives. The eldest man calculated: "I mentioned it last time, but Brother Jian didn't spit out, but only said it after the autumn season." Now that the autumn is coming, after the autumn season, this family matter should also be discussed. ”

Mrs. Xing thought about Li Weijian's million-dollar family assets, and she was a hundred happy in her heart, but when she thought about it, she felt that it was wrong, and said, "Old lady, can't you say a word?" ”

The eldest lord Jia Yu snorted coldly: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, we should have shared this matter, and we will almost inform it when we talk about it." ”

Mrs. Xing bowed her head, and then calculated: "The dowry of these two girls-"

"Tsk, the dowry has its own public, so let's bother with it. Besides, Brother Jian is just Li Xijiu's nephew, not his son. If there is no Li Shouzhong, Brother Jian is just a flat-headed commoner, and the second girl marries him, which is a marriage. Our family background, that is, for the sake of relatives, otherwise we would like to take the spring festival with 8,000 taels of dowry, snort, that's a dream! ”

"What the lord said is, it's just ...... I'm afraid that Brother Jian doesn't think so, I see that Brother Jian is a city government. ”

"No matter how much city there is, it will only be fourteen or five years old." With a disdainful smile, Jia Yu twisted his beard and said, "We can't mention this matter, I will go back and talk to Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law in private to find out." ”

Mrs. Xing responded and said: "That Siqi also said that Brother Jian always goes to the second girl's courtyard every three or five times, and it is expected that these two people will not be separated from ten. Reveal it in private, he must be willing. ”

The eldest lord suddenly smiled proudly. The dowry of the second girl to welcome the spring was made by herself, which saved 10,000 taels of silver; Li Weijian's 8,000 taels is considered a bride price, and if you calculate it inside and out, it is equivalent to getting 18,000 taels of silver for nothing.

That's it, who is Li Weijian? Now it is rumored that the God of Wealth is reincarnated in Beijing, but it is the well-known God of Wealth! Such a character has become his son-in-law, and this father-in-law, Lao Taishan, borrowed some silver to spend it, isn't it too much?

Millions of family assets, the annual interest is at least 50,000 taels. Jia Yu is not greedy, and he gets 10,000 taels of silver a year, isn't it beautiful?

At this moment, Mrs. Xing suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Master, I have vaguely heard Lian'er talking these days, saying that Brother Jian is making a living outside again, as if he wants to make something. ”

"That's a livelihood, I'm afraid I can't count on it for the time being."

The eldest lord Jia Yu said: "Brother Jian led a group of rich people to find a piece of land in the outer city, and now the land has just been leveled, and I don't know how long it will take for the house to be built. Someone asked a craftsman to hear about it, saying that it would take half a year to build a machine in that place. What are you mentioning this for? ”

Mrs. Xing said: "I'm not thinking, Brother Frugal's business will make a lot of money sooner or later." If you are close to your relatives, you will have to kiss and kiss in the future, master, why don't we also mix in a share? ”
