Red Mansion: No Empty House Fight

Liu's eyes were narrowed, and her lips were tightly pressed into a line.If everything is really done according to the rules, what right do I have to control those concubines?And how do you deal with those bastards?

Seeing that Mrs. Liu refused, Xue Yi added another fire: "Madam, you should know that it is not easy to accumulate a good reputation, but it is much easier to destroy it. I have never heard of a house where the mistress prevents the younger generation from advancing. Yes. Otherwise, I will talk to Aunt Lvjiaolu, who is my father’s favorite recently? I don’t know what my father will do.”

"Order the front yard to prepare a yard for the fourth brother. The things in the yard...are all prepared according to brother Xun's rules." Mrs. Liu can see that if she doesn't let Xue Yi fulfill his wish, Xue Yi will be able to do it today Poke a hole out of the sky.

Forget it, since this brat wanted to go to the outer courtyard, she granted his wish.A bastard, or a bastard who doesn't have a mother to win over the master, she wants to see what will happen to Xue Yi in the end!

Xue Yi came out of the main room, and he couldn't help feeling rejoicing: Fortunately, I learned from the old man because he was afraid that marrying a daughter-in-law with a very good family background would make his son bullied, so he hired Xue He from a low-born Liu family. It was a woman who was brought up by a family. I am afraid that there were dozens of ways to shut herself up on the spot, so that she could never speak again.Not to mention getting yourself out of the backyard where the women congregate.

After today's release, there are now four young masters in the mansion, including Xue Yi, who have reached the age of ten and moved to live in the outer courtyard.

Staggeringly, he walked towards the residence in the outer courtyard assigned to him by Mrs. Liu.When he arrived at the door of the residence, he saw a person he had never seen in the past - Steward Xue.

This Butler Xue was originally not surnamed Xue, but Xue He felt that of course his family's servants should have their own surname.So Steward Xue's surname is Xue.In the past, Xue Yi never had a chance to meet Steward Xue.After all, he is the steward of the outer court, and sometimes he wants to communicate business news from the mansion and outside to Xue He, and he is so busy that he hits the back of his head.Now I am waiting outside my new residence, and I don't know what fork I will need.

Xue Yi didn't hesitate, and continued his route, walking into the yard.When passing by the butler, he casually asked, "What is the butler waiting for at the door?"

Steward Xue didn't respond to Xue Yi's attitude at all, but said respectfully: "The news that the fourth master was injured was reported at the second gate at noon. The master was a little worried and sent a servant to take a look. I also heard that the fourth master moved to the outer courtyard. Now, I want to ask if Fourth Master needs anything?"

Xue Yi didn't believe a word of Steward Xue's words that "Master cares about you".When was the last time the original owner saw this father?By the way, it's New Year's time.And I didn't meet alone, I met when a large table of people had a New Year's Eve dinner together, and then a row of sons and daughters gave red envelopes one by one to pay New Year's greetings.

Now in the past four or five months, there was no greeting in the middle, as if there was no such person in the Xue family, and he suddenly told Xue Yi that this father was worried about him, and Xue Yi could only say that this was burning newspapers at the grave—fudge. .

But no matter what, since the other party asks what he lacks, let's take advantage of the convenience to supplement and nourish his poor private property.

Xue He did instruct the housekeeper to make up for what Xue Yi lacked.After all, he is his own son. Although he doesn't have much sense of presence on weekdays, he is also his own flesh and blood, isn't he?

Butler Xue also understood Xue He's thoughts, but he really didn't expect Xue Yi to ask for 500 taels directly.After all, in the first 12 years of Xue Yi's life, he lived so much that Xue He saved money, even the monthly payment was waived by Liu.

Xue Yi took the housekeeper and started from his bedroom first: "Which man sleeps in a bright red tent? Change them to a more sober color. Take the porcelain bottle on the table and replace it with a pair of blue and white gourds. It looks pleasing to the eye." It's auspicious..."

After the bedroom, I moved to the study: "I filled the Duobao Pavilion, what does it look like when it's empty? The four treasures of the study are all set up, why is the bookshelf half empty? Go and get three hundred thousand, children's learning Qionglin, sound enlightenment, I got a set of the Four Books and Five Classics. There aren’t even such basic books in the study, so why is it called a study?”

Finally, when steward Xue was asked to go back and report to Xue He, Xue Yi asked for money: "The steward also saw that he didn't even prepare ordinary paper and pens, and the things I wanted to buy were really far behind. Now that my father has spoken, then tomorrow In the morning, send a few boys to accompany me out with 500 taels of silver."

Hearing Xue Yi's nonchalant words, although Butler Xue didn't show it on the surface, he shouted in his heart: 500 taels is enough for an ordinary family to live for 20 years!So when he replied to Xue He later, the butler also pronounced the word "500 taels" quite heavily.

But apparently, Xue He didn't understand what the butler meant, and just nodded to show that he understood and agreed, and let the butler leave.

So early the next morning, Xue Yi, whose headache was no longer so painful, set off outside the mansion with four servants and a silver ticket of 500 taels after eating and drinking.

Xue Yi was very happy to see the authentic ancient style for the first time.Along the way, we not only watched the excitement, but also bought a lot of special snacks, and planned to take them back to taste slowly.

Finally, when the servants were exhausted, Xue Yi walked to the door of the shop he was looking for - Shusi.

In fact, Xue Yi's task today is to find a bookstore and buy a set of the books he wants back.The best way to understand the social form and folk customs of a country is to read books.In order to be able to integrate into this dynastic place that is almost completely unfamiliar to Xue Yi as soon as possible, Xue Yi is also working hard.

The owner of the bookstore met a big customer today.Xue Yi entered the bookstore full of local tyrants, looked around at the large bookshelves full of books in the store, and said, "Send all your books, one of each kind, to Xue's house, Just say it's for fourth master."

Books are still very expensive nowadays.So the day before, Xue Yi just asked for 500 taels.After the boss ordered the staff to start packing the books, Xue Yi called him again: "Boss, you are in this line of work, and you should be familiar with your peers. You can ask a few colleagues, if there are any books that are different from yours The bibliography was also sent to Xue's residence. By the way, do you have any laws promulgated by the imperial court in your book? If not, please find me a set! , even better."

It can be said that Xue Yi's vision is still very good.Along the way, although he also saw many small bookstores, Xue Yi didn't go in, but found this bookstore on the busiest street in Jinling.

Moreover, Xue Yi observed that most of the guests who came in and out were wearing Confucian scholar robes, which meant that most of the guests here had obtained fame, and at least they were children.

A bookstore that can be patronized by so many scholars should be equivalent to the modern Xinhua Bookstore.Xue Yi thought so.

How many scholars saw Xue Yi's local tyrant behavior, frowned, and said in their hearts "disgraceful".But after all, Xue Yi didn't do anything rude, and decided to come to the bookstore another day.But no matter what, everyone present left a very deep impression on Xue Yi.

After returning home, Xue Yi did some calculations, and luckily he asked for 500 taels of silver.Today I spent nearly 300 taels just to buy books.The most expensive of these books are mostly sets of books, such as "Complete Law" and "History of X".But it was also these books that gave Xue Yi a deeper understanding of his situation.

Fortunately, in the law of this dynasty, civilians with business nationality are not allowed to take scientific examinations.But despite this, Xue Yi does not intend to continue to be a "inferior" merchant in the eyes of the world.In the world of Xue Yi's previous life, outstanding businessmen were still respected, and he himself was working hard in this direction.

But now that this life has come, and the universal concept here is that "businessmen are inferior", Xue Yi has no intention of using his own power to change the social concept that has matured for thousands of years.If you can't change others, change yourself.

Xue Yi's goal is to establish his own family and change his family.He doesn't plan to become a general, as long as he has a similar fame and protection, finds a job he likes, and lives happily for the rest of his life.

Xue Yi, who stayed up late and finished reading "The Complete Book of the Law", ate breakfast with two dark circles under his eyes, and fell on the bed to catch up on sleep.

And the other person who didn't sleep well last night - Mrs. Liu, decided to fulfill Xue Yi's wish.She agreed to let Xue Yi study at home, but at the same time, Liu decided to send Xue Wen, the fifth son, and Xue Gang, the sixth son, who had always bullied Xue Yi the most, to the same school.Liu believes that Xue Yi's life will be difficult because of Xue Wen and Xue Gang's dislike for Xue Yi.

So on the morning of Xue Yi's first day at school, he saw Xue Wen and Xue Gang smiling maliciously at the door.The corners of Xue Yi's mouth twitched at the obvious attitude of finding fault between the two.Pretending not to see it, he walked swiftly to his carriage.

But Xue Yi's not being picky doesn't mean that Xue Wen is willing not to be picky.You must know that I beat Xue Yi until he was bleeding out a few days ago, and he was still in a state of excitement.

So when Xue Wen saw Xue Yi ignoring him, he thought Xue Yi was afraid of him, so he called Xue Yi by his name loudly.Called a few times, seeing that Xue Yi still ignored him, and was about to get in the car, Xue Wen got angry, walked a few steps to behind Xue Yi, pushed Xue Yi hard, and pushed Xue Yi staggeringly: "You trash, do you still want to study? Just dream! Today I will give you another ladle!"

If the tiger doesn't show its power, you really think I'm a sick cat?Xue Yi turned around, raised his hand and slapped: "Who do you think, open the scoop?" Every two words are slapped, very rhythmic.

Xue Wen was taken aback, but Xue Gang was not.As soon as he saw his best friend being beaten, he rushed over to Xue Yi yelling "Aww".

After all, Xue Yi is 12 years old, but Xue Gang is only nine years old, and the difference in physique is no joke.So Xue Gang was kicked on the stomach by Xue Yi and flew out.
