A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

After Qingxuan withdrew, he had nowhere to go, because one had to go out often, and the other was that Sister Feng herself wanted to please her, so Qingxuan and Sister Feng got along very well together.And some of the little girls who clean the yard these days are all envious of the people in Daiyu's yard, and they only found out after asking.It turned out that the monthly money in the Yuefu was not distributed, and it was often only at the end of the month. The old ladies didn't care about the few taels of silver, and didn't ask.These third- and fourth-class little girls are not very good at home, and they all want to take the money back and wait for it to be chewed.Because Daiyu paid the money herself this month, and it was all on time, all these girls wanted to come to Daiyu.

Entering Sister Feng's room, Sister Feng was not there as expected. Ping'er also knew that Qingxuan was a capable person, so he served tea to her first, and then said: "Our grandma will be back in a while. Today, apart from two or three things in the West Mansion , nothing more. Sister Qingxuan, just wait."

Qingxuan smiled and said: "I have nothing serious, but I heard that the monthly money for this month has not even been released by the old lady and the wife. Why?"

Ping'er thought that Qingxuan was a capable person, and now that he asked this question, it can be seen that he already had some thoughts, and he didn't seem to be hiding it like others.Then he looked around, and after seeing no one, he quietly said to Qingxuan: "Our grandma has already paid for this month's monthly money in the office. Who dares to delay grandma's money from the accountant. It's just given to others. So, when the interest money is recovered, it will be distributed to everyone!"

Qingxuan stood up in shock, and the teacups in his hands fell to the ground and shattered.Frightened, Ping'er called out in a low voice: "My aunt, take it easy."

Why is Qingxuan so frightened? It turns out that this lending incident has caused endless disasters, and the disasters will be extended to future generations.Because the interest rate is too high, people who borrow money often have to sell their houses and land to pay back the money, and there are also greedy people who can't control their desires, so that they sell their children and daughters.The government is also very strict in punishment, but there are often those nobles of the family who rely on their power and are not afraid of the government to pursue them, and the interest is actually higher than others.They don't know that the sky net is not leaking, and there will be retribution in the dark. Those who lend money usually have no children, or they will encounter accidents, or disasters will happen, even if they have children, they will become playboys.

Qingxuan calmed down and asked: "Is she still short of money to do this thing of cutting off children and grandchildren?"

Xiren sighed and said, "Why didn't I persuade you, but you also know that our grandma never believed in retribution. Besides, you also know that this housekeeping thing is just a name, but our grandma didn't believe in retribution. I can’t even push it out. The second wife manages a mess by herself, and only let our grandma decide, but the money, it’s good to give it once or twice out of ten times. The old lady’s side is also our grandma’s grandma in Xiaorong. It’s too obvious in that matter, now it’s hard to ride a tiger.”

It turns out that although Sister Feng is now close to the big house, she always shirks Mrs. Wang, but in this position of housekeeper, she can't avoid paying money. , also very uncomfortable.It turned out that he had arranged a lawsuit and wrote a famous post at the previous funeral to easily get 3000 taels of silver, but now because he thought that all the posts from the Rongguo Mansion were used, if this matter happened in the future, it would be pushed to Jia Lian. I don't want to do it.If you want to take Jia Zheng's post, how can Mrs. Wang agree, and remember that when the old nun Jingxu said something, she was a little hesitant. Do it, but dare not do it.Only about lending money, almost all the wives in Xunguili have done it, and they are not afraid, so they do it. The maid's interest alone can recover nearly a thousand taels of silver in a year!

Ping'er was there saying to Qingxuan: "My good sister, you are not allowed to tell others about this, even the old lady and the lady." Just as she was talking, Sister Feng came in.

Sister Feng just heard the end of the sentence, so she came in and said, "Good sister, you also know my difficulties. Since you mentioned me last time, I have also thought about resigning from the housekeeper, but you know that I said something presumptuous. , now apart from me, who can manage this mansion in an orderly manner."

Qingxuan said: "It's just an excuse. I think sister-in-law Zhu did a good job when Grandma Liu came the other day."

Sister Feng said: "I'm not a person who belittles others and praises me. It's just that the old lady doesn't like her. Even if I don't care about the house, my wife would rather let Tanchun's housekeeper not let her take care of it. The money in my hand Just go out, why don't you make me anxious."

Qingxuan persuaded: "Since our girl came this time, Brother Feng, you have helped a lot. How can I not help, but Sister Feng, you only see that you can get rich by releasing the money, but there are some things you don't know .I heard that the money you let out has a full seven-cent interest. If you borrow 100 taels of silver, you have to pay back 180 taels of silver a year. Not to mention the last time I went out to listen to the mansion, those side disciples chatted that it was from our mansion. The money released by the servant is two or three cents higher than what you said, this is a matter of cutting off children and grandchildren. The money released in the other mansions is all three cents, and the court also allows it!"

When Sister Feng heard it, her face turned purple. Although she was not afraid of the retribution, she felt that others were lying to her, and scolded: "You are ashamed of the mother, no one uses my name to make money. This week, Rui's family is not Good thing, when I asked her, she only said that seven percent of the profit is no problem."

Qingxuan said: "I think you are careless enough. This week, Rui's family is obviously the second wife's. You can ask her. These days, the second wife has long suspected that you have no money and asked her for it. Now I will give you money." You said that the interest rate is high, and you will be responsible for any problems in the future, and you will subsidize the mansion with the money you earn. Second, you can't ask her for money if you have this money. With these reasons, don't let Zhou Rui’s family is a fool to tell you that the interest rate is high. Besides, haven’t you read the laws of our dynasty? It’s been a while since the harmful things sent by my wife have been cleaned up, and there’s still no good news after such a long time. I think there’s also a reason for you to do this evil thing, so you should stop quickly.”

Sister Feng blushed and said: "Sister, you don't know the rules of our Wang family. Girls never read a lot, but they just know a few numbers and can settle accounts. Is it true that my sister's doing this is harmful to the heirs? "

Qingxuan said: "My ancestors, whether money is important or your future children are important. If you don't have a son, I see who will inherit this mansion in the future. I think you can just give up this Rongguo mansion to the second room." After finishing this sentence Seeing Sister Feng shaking her head again and again, she nodded her head. Some of the rescues were okay, and she continued: "Since this is the case, don't ask for the interest. Get back the principal and wipe off the traces. The woman's family doesn't even ask for the capital, so that they can live better. On weekdays, they also go out to give away porridge and rice to clear up your karma. A few days ago, the mansion of General Niu, who was raided by today, It was also a side branch of the Eighth Duke back then, and you, the old relatives of his family, originally interceded, but it was just a fine, but in the end, a large pile of released notes was found, and it became a house raid."

Sister Feng admired Qingxuan very much. She was the only one who could make Daiyu give up the good opportunity to see her mother on Lantern Festival, and embarrass the second wife. I heard that she even received the dowry in the old lady's room from sister Lin In the room, for such a capable person, Sister Feng had never seen Qingxuan with a look of embarrassment on his face.Seeing Lian Qingxuan's serious matter today, and hearing that it violated the laws of the country, no matter how daring he is, he will be afraid.I also heard that even people like General Niu have aggravated their crimes because of this incident. Although she felt that the Jia family had a concubine, she would not be afraid, but if the crime was all blamed on the big house, wouldn't it be the second house to inherit the title!He hurriedly called Lai Wang'er in, gave some orders, and sure enough, after a few days, he closed the matter and smoothed out the previous traces.

Qingxuan saw that although Sister Feng had ordered, her face was full of distress for money, and said: "There are so many things that come from money in this world, so why do such things?"

Sister Feng has long heard that Daiyu's rouge shop can earn more than a thousand taels of silver a year, and she is very greedy, but she has no chance to get involved.Now I am relieved to hear Qingxuan's words, but I am overjoyed that I let myself add them in, and I don't care whether Qingxuan is sincere or not, so I am so busy: "I am an honest person, how can I be as casual as Qingxuan's sister?" I just think of a way to get countless money. It’s just that I was provoked by others. If my sister can help me think of a good way to make money, I will be very grateful.”

Qingxuan said: "This is the capital city, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, where is there no place to make a fortune? In this case, you will come to our girl's house tomorrow, and we will analyze this matter with our girl." Sister Feng naturally agreed, The next day I went to find Daiyu and Qingxuan without mentioning it.

Qingxuan chatted casually for a while, returned to Zilingzhou, saw that Baochai had left, and told Daiyu about Sister Feng, Daiyu nodded in agreement, and also talked about Baochai with Qingxuan, saying that she was proud He nodded slightly.When Qingxuan saw it, he said: "The girl only talks about Miss Bao's inappropriateness, but forgets her own mistakes. What's wrong with Grandma Liu? You laugh at her like this today."

Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "I just can't understand how she flatters the old lady, and she is very vulgar."

Qingxuan said: "Girl, you really don't eat fireworks in the world. Don't Grandma Liu know that the second grandma and Yuanyang didn't deliberately use her as a joke to make the old lady laugh yesterday? There is nothing she doesn't know about an old man who has experienced the world like her. Just let go of yourself She can't let go of the face that can make her children and grandchildren have a good future. The old man knows how to repay his kindness. Last time, he only received 20 taels of silver from his second grandmother. Now he brought food to the government Here, today I heard from Sister Feng that she gave the eldest sister a clever nickname, which shows her sincerity. She has no education from aristocratic families, even if she is a bit vulgar, she did not look for the scenery of this garden. Asking for this and that shows her simplicity. If you judge people by their appearance, it can be seen that I have taught you in vain in the past."

Daiyu's face was flushed by what Qingxuan said, but after careful consideration, she found that what Qingxuan said really made sense, and suddenly realized something, everyone said that Daiyu was getting closer the next day.The little maids felt that Miss Lin looked at them warmly, and even though there was no reward, they were happy to see her.And Qingxuan also realized something when he heard what he said, and his cultivation level improved a little.
