Zhen Fei rises up in the Red Chamber

How much does this family want to be satisfied?Zhen Hui immediately began to estimate the psychological bottom line of these people. Although he didn't want to give it, he was still very willing to understand their thoughts.Six people, the most important thing is that there are two children of the same generation as him. Is this thinking of getting some greeting gifts from my mother?My lord is going to get money from me again, starting from both ends, doing both?

If they say that, they probably think that if they can’t get benefits other than 50 taels from themselves in time, with these two children, they can also ask for two more red envelopes from their mother. Ten taels and 20 taels, if I am a little more talkative and ask for something else from myself, such as using reading as an excuse, some pens, inks, papers and inkstones, that would be even better. After all, people like them, even the most ordinary The Four Treasures of the Study, if taken outside, can be regarded as the first-class things, how could it be worth one or twenty taels in exchange for silver? One hundred taels.

Zhen Hui frowned and lowered his head slightly. It was obviously just the face of an immature child, but this moment allowed him to create a bit of acknowledgment. Uncle is extraordinary.

"There are six of them, and two of them are of the same generation as me, so that means that the other four are elders. They didn't come to the banquet for younger siblings, full moon, hundred days, etc. Perhaps, this time they came to make up for it. It's the meeting ceremony, we should let others know."

Zhen Hui's voice was very low, but what he said made the housekeeper's eyes shine, isn't that the case?If you can come to our house to play the autumn wind, then we can also make you spit out some gifts in return, right!Isn't that how reciprocity comes, only what they can give?

The butler was very skeptical about this, but when he turned his head and thought of the fruits and other things that the family brought every time they came, he immediately felt blessed.The uncle is betting, betting whether they still want this fig leaf.If this gift is reciprocal, and the fig leaf of the scholarly family still wants to use it, then the meeting gift for the twins cannot be saved. Even if nothing is prepared, the meeting gift given by the wife, they will definitely turn their hands around and return it as theirs. , In this way, it can be regarded as less loss for the family.If they don't want this face and just rely on it, if they don't know, then the wife from home can also ignore it, and they can't talk about the meeting ceremony anymore, it's a matter of saving trouble, and secondly, the relationship has faded It's so light that even the meeting ceremony is saved. I think it's reasonable for my family to gradually stop interacting with them after coming here. After all, it's not that their family doesn't pay attention to friendship, it's that this family does something unreasonable first, and it will not damage their reputation. .

The housekeeper laughed, why can't he not laugh, my uncle's move is to retreat, and it can even be said that he looks a bit weak, and the way of giving up the initiative is simply killing two birds with one stone. As for why there has never been such a thing before ?Why is there a sudden dispute over the meeting ceremony now?Who doesn't know that the old man is not at home now, only the old man is there?It can be said that this family bullied their uncle because he was young and didn't value him, so he didn't even give his second uncle and the eldest girl a meeting gift. In this way, the uncle's reputation will not be damaged, but it will also make people feel pity It is very cost-effective for this family to step on a few feet.

The housekeeper was born and raised in the Zhen family, and has a strong sense of belonging to the Zhen family. Whoever takes advantage of the Zhen family basically has the same meaning as taking advantage of him, so he definitely looks down on those who play Qiufeng Yes, of course, if it’s really the kind of people who can’t live on, it’s okay for those who want to save for a while. The Zhen family is not the kind of hard-hearted family, and there are still kind-hearted people who can help, but this People who live on relief, and are even quite content with their own means, are definitely not in this category.

So the butler knew Zhen Hui's plan, and immediately started to act with a smile on his face. Zhen Hui didn't show up, but he could, right?

After a while, Zhen Hui, who was still in the study outside, heard the inquirer come back and said that the family left in a hurry without even taking 50 taels of silver.Why?Because the housekeeper played on the spot again.

Of course, the housekeeper is very polite. First, he talked about how great a happy event it is to have twins in this family, and how many people came to give gifts. While talking, he looked at the family with a smile. Tim, have you given any presents yet?Then he said that the twins are full moon, hundred days, what kind of banquets, how many relatives came to give gifts.Another gift, and then another burst of meaningful glances.In the end, he said that it will be February [-] soon, and his master will take part in the examination. This time, he is so hopeful that he can be a Jinshi. Even the relationship with the Lin family's Marquis Mansion has been pulled out. Like an official, and then said that there must be a banquet at home at that time, I don’t know if they are free to attend or something, the meaning is still a gift!This is not over yet, and then he talked about the uncle's birthday in March, his wife's birthday in April, and the master's birthday in May. Such a series of birthdays fell down, and then he talked about how many people came to birthday parties in previous years and what gifts they gave.

The meaning is very clear, right? Even a fool understands what the housekeeper is talking about at this time. This is clearly asking for their gifts!But where did they get the money to give gifts?They are here to fight the autumn wind!I came to ask for money!But you don't give it?You don't even have reciprocity, and you don't even want to give a little bit of heart, so naturally you don't want to associate with our family. Since you don't associate with each other, why should we give you money?Besides, what kind of money will you give if you are not year-round?alms?It's spring, and it's still possible to find a job. No, they haven't opened their mouths yet, and the housekeeper immediately began to introduce the recruitment situation of various places, such as the shopkeeper of the teahouse, the copyist of the bookstore, and the accountant of the shop. No matter how you look at it, it's a job that scholars can do. They don't despise them at all, or dig holes, and wholeheartedly look for them to find a way out.

But if they are willing to work, will they live in the autumn wind?But you don't work, you just want to let the Zhen family support, so how can you say it?Even if you can really say it, the housekeeper won’t let you say it, because he started to introduce inspirational people again in a short time, such as poor scholars on the East Street, who copy books for bookstores every day, earning money to support widows My mother, Erlang from West Street, writes letters for people at the gate of the Town God's Temple every day, earning money to support his family.In this way, this family doesn't even have half an excuse. If they want to say how scholars can do such rough work, they can't do it, because there are many people who do it, and they are very praised.They don't have the courage to point map guns or something. After all, they are really not a big family, and they are still afraid of being attacked.

As for being completely shameless?They dare not do this!They also need fame.It's not that they aren't thick-skinned enough or scoundrels enough, but that if they really do this, maybe the clan will have an excuse to drive them out.What is it that they can rely on to live in the autumn wind from family to family now?It's not a clan, it's because of relatives?Without this layer of protective film, they will have no hope in the future, and no way to get money.Even if they want to live in peace, it is difficult. After all, their family is so desolate now that no one has their ideas or bullied them.It is precisely because of this that every time they go to another house to play the autumn wind, they bring a little gift, which means that it is to save face and the last bottom line, so that the family will not find a reason to drive them out.

After listening to the housekeeper's eloquent and continuous words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. They are not stupid, what else do they not understand at this moment?This is because the Zhen family is annoyed, and they are no longer helping them. As for why, they are also very clear in their hearts. happy.

Although they are thick-skinned, although they know they are wrong and don't want to admit it, in the final analysis, they still lack confidence. Even if they want to play tricks, they know that they can't beat the Zhen family. The people of the Zhen family are serious. They have a way None, the only thing I can do is to leave immediately, if I really want to be rude, let alone whether it will completely cut off this relative, and there is no possibility of getting money in the future, even if they are rude, someone must believe it, the Zhen family The money given to them is not once or twice, as long as the past is told, no one thinks it is the fault of the Zhen family.As for the housekeeper's birthday just now, a stack of etiquette can crush them to death, which shows that they didn't care about it.

So what they can do now is to retreat first, and then think about which one to get some benefits for a few days, wait for Master Zhen to come back, and see if they can please a few words and maintain this relationship.Among the relatives they could get involved with, the Zhen family was really one of the largest families. Without this one, they would really have some problems eating in the future.

As for whether Master Zhen will accept this trick?They felt that they still had some confidence. They felt that Mrs. Zhen's family must be angry this time. She felt that they had bullied her son.

Look, this is called the wicked will suffer from the wicked, (although Zhen Hui doesn't think he is a wicked person.) It is also called daydreaming, why do you bully someone's son, why can someone's father not care about you?It can only be said that at this moment, this family is still in the eyes of money, thinking about how to make money from the Zhen family, so they can bear everything and keep everything in their hands.

But what they didn't expect was that the Zhen family didn't have this intention, or Zhen Hui didn't have this intention. Not long after they left, the housekeeper went out and went to the patriarch's house of the family, planning to settle the matter properly. Talk to the patriarch, for example, their family specially helped the family find a job, but they don't appreciate it!For example, there is a happy event in this family, but the whole family does not know to come to congratulate!For example, they didn't care about the master rushing for the exam!Anyway, it's the kind that the Zhen family's grievances can cry to death.

And the servants and mothers-in-law of the Zhen family also started talking outside. Anyway, in their mouths, the Zhen family is definitely the embodiment of justice, a model of charity, and the kind of wronged ones.These days, there are only a few people who realize the role of public opinion, and among this minority, those who are proficient are even rarer. Among them is the uncle of the Zhen family, Zhen Hui, who makes him receive the most public opinion bombardment!It is naturally easier to use.

Zhen Hui has already decided that before his father comes back, he will get rid of all the flies that rely on the autumn wind to give himself a clean sky.
