Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 14, Loss Moves: Swindle Money to Receive Younger Brother

Baoyu ran out of the family school, ran more than 200 meters, turned a corner before stopping.

Li Gui breathed a sigh of relief, at least the little ancestor didn't fall.At first he didn't stop Baoyu, because he was afraid that Baoyu would be affected if the young men fought.Amitabha, the old lady sent him this errand, thinking it would be great, but it is even more chaotic than the back streets!

The other attendants were not surprised when they saw it, and Mingyan was still jumping happily, saying that he would go shopping in the back street to buy fruit to eat.

Li Gui was startled, and shouted: "Fuck you! Go back carefully and I'll beat you first, and then go back to the old lady, the second master, and the second wife, and say that you were the one who instigated everything in the school!"

Mingyan put on a grimace and shoved Second Master Bao back to ask for protection. The fake stone waved his hand and said, "Don't scare him. It's not easy to tell us what happened in the school. The patriarch is Big Brother Zhen, and his own nephew is in the school. Didn’t go back and say it, wouldn’t it be meddlesome if we talk too much? The Confucian school is a high-ranking and virtuous man, and he is the most upright. I have benefited a lot from the class he taught today. How can I accept the teacher’s kindness and say that the teacher is not, so what else should I study? The book of sages? The old man is just getting old, so he can't take care of some things."

Everyone nodded—it's not that the master's fault is not good, and it's not that it's too big to report, it's just that a bunch of young masters got a little noisy after school.

Baoyu said again: "It's not good to go back to the mansion so early. It's not easy to explain to the master if you go back so early on the first day. Do you know if there is any quiet place, like a private room in a small tea house, at least I have done the problem set by the school. "

Li Gui hesitated, but the old lady gave him two taels of silver in case Baoyu needed it, and he wanted to get some more.The old lady will not blame Baoyu for returning home early, but the second master is a little troublesome, and the second master is not necessarily going out today after taking a rest.

At this time Zhang Ruojin said: "There used to be a secluded teahouse in the middle of the road, and there should be no customers at this time." - Jia Dairu Tuotang, it was already past the time for lunch and tea.

False Stone nodded, and the group went to the teahouse.

A certain person is not worried at all about what he does~ he will know how to wear it: Shenying Baoyu’s professional skills are panning rouge and reciting romantic poems, not painting. One of the "love red problems".When Jia Zheng saw it, he became angry and forced him to practice the style of the imperial examination.I picked a ready-made fake stone, and the ballad was in the authentic Guange style, and the handwriting was beyond Ba Lingtong's ability.

After doing this, he decided to hide his clumsiness for a while, and first bring a little masculinity into the small script with hairpin flowers. Change always takes a process.As for the letter paper envelopes used to make folk songs, sorry, he folded the envelopes with paper himself, and the paper was a high-end product provided by the family school. Stack there.

When he was about to reach the teahouse, Mo Yu, Hoe Yao, and Sao Hong, the young servants who collected books, inkstones, and ink for Baoyu, caught up, and they could see the excitement on the faces of the three young servants across the road.

Fake Stone frowned, as if talking to himself: "I don't hear what's going on outside the window, and I only read the books of sages."

Zhang Ruojin is Baoyu's servant specially assigned by Jia Zheng, and immediately turns around to stop the three, and reprimands with a heavy face, "Be more solemn! Don't care what happens in the school, don't gossip, second master don't listen to those things!"

The three young servants suddenly stopped, and their faces fell down.Li Gui is 19 years old. He is at a very strong age. He thinks that he was rewarded by the old lady. He can't let the second master's people take away his prestige, but he can't overpower Zhang Ruojin, so he added with a smile: "That's exactly what you said, old man The wife, the second master, and the second wife, don’t allow the second master Bao to listen to those noisy things, one or two should be more conspicuous, don’t ask yourself.”

When I was talking, I came to the ground, and the fake stones often came here when I first walked through.In a noble place, the fees are naturally expensive, but there are also a few cheap teas and snacks, because Qing and noble literati are often not very handy, and the teahouse wants to support the facade, so they buy a few cheap goods to attract them.The fake stone has a thick skin, and I always only order one or two cheap ones, and sit for a long time.

Wear it again, the waiters don't know a certain thick-skinned customer anymore, they only see the young man dressed in bright clothes, thinking that the fat sheep has arrived, and rushing forward to show his hospitality.

Baoyu rushed to speak before all the servants and asked for the smallest private room.

The waiter wondered, that small private room can't accommodate many customers, and the guests who come to order that room are not here to eat and drink, and there will be a big reward for fooling around, but the young master in front of him is too small, right?

Mingyan's children's shoes were annoyed, and her belly bulged: "Show more brightly, this is the second master of Rongfu Bao!"

Ouch, it's like thunder, you can be regarded as seeing a real person!It's not surprising that this man did absurd things.

The waiter nodded and bowed his head to lead the way, while Second Master Bao kept his eyes fixed on him with a dignified expression.When he arrived at the private room, the master leisurely ordered a pot of aged Kuding tea first.

The waiter felt more and more that the young master was putting on a show, that the old sour tea was drunk by the elderly, and that the young master would not like bitter things, someone must have heard of it.

The waiter will never do something to expose the face of the guests, so he raises his voice to summon.After a while, Xiao Er came running with a teapot and a charcoal stove.

The four servants didn't allow them to enter the room, so they took over with their accents, and quickly arranged the private room, even changing the tablecloth.Fake Stone clicked his tongue secretly, thinking that maybe the maid specially prepared the tables and chairs in the private school because she was afraid that they would not be clean?The last time I wore it, I didn't have this experience. I'm afraid that Baoyu of the Shenying brand would not be able to stand their meticulous attention to detail.

After a flurry of arrangements, Mingyan brought over the menu and asked with a salivating face.

Without raising her eyelids, Baoyu ordered Mingyan to stay, while the other three young men went out and called Li Gui in.

As soon as Li Gui entered, Baoyu signaled him to close the door, and then coldly said to Mingyan, "Kneel down! Think carefully about why you kneel." Then he smiled at Li Gui and said, "Brother, I am too young to be easygoing. Thanks to Nanny Li for scolding me awake. From now on, I need my brother to remind me more."

Li Gui is a brother-in-law, the servant is here, but he dare not respond to the "brother", and said a thousand times: "Little ancestor, how respectable is my servant to follow the master, how dare I not care about it? This little dog has a good temper. , chewing on maggots all day long, the second master should not be angry with him, the sun is already past noon, let's order some food, and then write and compose after using it."

Baoyu laughed and said, "I just want him to kneel down for a meeting, trying to figure out what's wrong. I've changed my mind now, but I want to be a sensible person. I've always thought that I lost my status when I was in charge of common affairs. The only thing is, if I don’t know how the crops grow and how much the vegetables cost, I will be an official in the future, how can I be the master for the people? The ancients said, “If you don’t sweep a house, why sweep the world”, I actually want to Start with things around you. After a while, go out and see how much snacks we have left, and how much you need to add if you don’t have enough. Nine people, one meal for lunch, how much money does it cost to do things cheaply in the back streets. Finally, look at the same shop The dim sum here is just one piece, pasta."

Li Gui responded quickly, and Baoyu continued to order: "Use the silver rewarded by the old lady. You are in charge of the old lady's reward. You only need to report the account to me so that the master will understand. Go."

Li Gui's heart trembled slightly, and he thought to himself that his old lady always said that Baoyu was confused, so she must have been confused and violated the taboo of Second Master Bao, so she was relieved and went home to rest.Be more eye-catching, don't bully the second master Bao, the little ancestor knows it well!

Who is the fake stone, a pair of tricks like a scanner, super sensitive to money: Li Gui has silver in his hand, Zhang Ruojin also has it, and even Ming Yan has money in his hand! MD money is handed over to the slave, but the master is poor and white.The little master grows up without money, one or two are not much better than idiots, and they are being manipulated by the slaves!There are decent slaves in the Rong Mansion, not to mention how fat they are, but the master is struggling. It is difficult for this family to be undefeated!

After Li Gui went out, Baoyu calmed down his anger, and asked calmly, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Mingyan slapped herself in the face: "I told you to be greedy, but you actually provoked the second master to go to the back street to buy fruit..."

Baoyu interrupted: "No! Think again."

Mingyan's eyeballs rolled, he used to get away with just a few words, but today the second master is very difficult to deal with, he dare not talk nonsense.After a long while, he said: "The little one should go with Mo Yu, Hoe Yao, and Sao Hong to clean up the brushes and inkstones."

Baoyu chuckled: "You are more eye-catching than them. I have always relied on you to manage them. It is enough for you to tell them to do things. You seem to be smart, but you are a fool. Don't say you can't figure it out anymore! Just go in." At the store, Li Gui and the others had their registration number, why are you grabbing the limelight? Look at these tablecloths and cushions, you are blocking the little one when he enters the room, you are trying to get revenge for the master!"

Mingyan clucked his head, and the servants of high-ranking and wealthy families always yelled and yelled outside. I didn't see the second master playing tricks like this before... That's right, the second master wants to "change his mind" and put on a show!

He raised his hand and slapped himself again: "I'm telling you to die! I'm telling you to lose your eyes! Second Master is so pitiful for the old and the poor, you are a maggot chewer, and you will embarrass Second Master..."

Baoyu smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, it's even more embarrassing to have a swollen face. I don't see the master shutting you up to teach you? Mingyan, I like you for being smart, but don't pretend to be smart. You will follow the master for a long time, not like in the house." Those elder sisters will be let out when they reach their age, and they will leave if they are reluctant. Let me ask you, who is your master?"

Ming Yan immediately pointed at the sky and the earth: "It's the second master! You are so loyal to the sky, and you will go through fire and water for your master..."

Baoyu's face sank: "This big talk, don't be afraid that the wind will flash your tongue! Could it be that the master is an adulterer who broke the law and asked you to give up your life to die for the master? I only want one thing, so keep your mouth tight." , Mo Cheng always tells people right and wrong."

Mingyan immediately kowtowed heavily: "Master taught me a lesson, and the younger one dare not complain. But if someone carelessly picks on me about my master, the younger one will spit on it! They are all maggot chewers everywhere. They also talk about the matter of the master..."

Baoyu waved his hand and interrupted: "You are loyal. Let me ask you, what if my wife asks?"

Mingyan was stunned, the second wife never asked him anything, if she wanted to ask, she would always ask Brother Chang Sui, he was just a servant who just played with the young master and did some trivial things.

After all, it was the number one guy in the red building. With a roll of his eyes, he said something to him: "I'm telling you the truth. My wife is so busy all day long. Uncle Rui ate our cakes, Brother Qiang said something sour. In other words, how dare you bother your wife with this matter? We never have important things, but we walk on the way to and from school, and I am too young and careless, so I don’t notice the important things. "

Baoyu expressed satisfaction: "I know you are clever, but if I send you to do something, it will not be a big thing, let alone a bad thing. Just keep today's words in mind, and I will regard you as the number one servant around me." .”

Mingyan is overjoyed, the young master will not have any major events, but there are all kinds of private matters that are inconvenient to be known, such as sending a love letter, going to the street to find a small gadget to give to Qidi, and he is naturally a confidant to take care of it.Hey, when the second master grows up, all Li Gui and Zhang Ruojin will have to retreat!At the moment, he professes his loyalty, and secretly damages his long-term followers as "running on an official mission", but he is the only one who is loyal only for the Lord.

Baoyu stretched out his hand and said, "It's just for the master, get up! Bend over, and the master will ask you, how much money is hidden in your body, and who gave it to you?"

Mingyan was deflated, and Qiqi Ai said: "That, that is... Sister Xiren rewarded me." After saying that, he took out ten copper coins with a face full of pain: "That's all, a penny is useless."

Baoyu picked up a copper plate and looked at it carefully. He couldn't tell what it was like: the monthly money of attacking people!She has grown from a little girl with two hundred coins to a big girl with one liang of silver per month. She has never spent much money, and she has saved enough copper coins for one liang of silver to exchange for silver and put them in a cage.Only the earliest monthly money was not exchanged for silver.He saw it the first time he wore it, and asked why there were only a hundred texts?But it turned out that it took some time.

The waiter Shenying is so ignorant of blessings!For the first time, he thought about living in the Red Mansion in his seventies and eighties, watching the attackers and charming people live their lives in peace.
