[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

In Lixiangyuan, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were listening to a woman from the Jia family.

"...Except for Second Mistress Lian who wants the housekeeper to be stricter, only Third Master Bao has a bit of a domineering temper." The woman said.

"Are you talking about Baoyu's twin brother Baocong?" Xue Baochai asked curiously.

"Isn't that the one!" The woman paused as she spoke, seeming to remember something, and said angrily: "The master has been fighting cocks and running dogs since he was a child, and he often treats others coldly. The old lady and the old lady have scolded others." Him, it doesn't work!"

When it came to the seriousness, the mother-in-law lowered her voice and said quietly: "When I was young, I got into trouble and beat Second Master Bao a few times! Even though they are twin brothers, Second Master Bao is as kind and clever as Second Master Bao. But he is a reckless and domineering master with a bad temper!"

"None of our servants dare to get close to him, and it's safe for the girl to stay far away!"

Aunt Xue was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly pulled Baochai nervously and said, "Oh, this is really... I heard that this child is a bit naughty, but I didn't expect it to be so."

But Baochai patted Aunt Xue's hand to comfort her, then smiled and asked the woman, "Is what you said true? Is my third cousin really bad-tempered?"

The mother-in-law swore: "Is there still a fake? Well, what am I going to do to scare the girl?" Then she pointed to the outside and said firmly: "Everyone in the house knows about the beating of the second master Bao. The girl asked Ask others to know the truth!"

Baochai listened, thoughtful, looked at the woman again, and smiled and said: "Isn't the old mother tired after chatting with us for a long time? Why don't you go and have some refreshments and tea?"

All the errands in Jia's mansion are people in the oil pan. How can you not hear that Baochai is serving tea to see off guests?

So the old mother smiled and waved her hands and said: "Miss Bao is really considerate of our servants. It's just that I'm on a job at night and it's getting late. Come and drink later. I won't bother my wife and the girl."

After receiving the reward and exiting, the old mother happily weighed the purse, then raised her chin in the direction of Jiamu's yard and gave a loud pooh.

If this old mother has been working in Jia's mansion for more than ten years, and the whole family lives well in Jia's mansion, how can Bao Cong's reputation be tarnished like this for no reason?

There is a reason for this resentment.

The capital is four kings and eight kilometers away, and the Jia family has two princes.Although it is said that the old Duke has passed away for many years, the plaque that ordered the Rongguo Mansion to be built is still hanging high. Everyone who passes the door, who is not amazed?

This kind of family, not to mention how extravagant and ostentatious the master's life is, but the maids who serve the master, all of them are like Miss Qianjin, much more delicate than other masters.

Although she is just a woman who works in the kitchen, she is decent in front of outsiders.Going out to wear good cloth clothes, money in the purse, and a lot of private houses secretly accumulated at home.

This is all because Jia's mansion is very rich, and the masters often reward them. They all lead errands, and they can get a lot of money from them.

Everyone under the master is living a good life, and everyone is happy.

Unexpectedly, in the past two years, Lord Baozhen didn't know why he went crazy, so he ran to go shopping in dirty places like the market.

If you go shopping, just go shopping, and when you come back, you don't cover it up, but go to Lian Ermai's place to yell.

Later, the Second Mistress Lian suddenly called the buyer from Manfuli, saying that she wanted to check the accounts over the years.

At first everyone didn't know about it, but later I heard that Mr. Bao came back and yelled that you could get two of the best eggs out there for a penny, and when they were the most expensive, they were only two or three pennies each.We don't know which golden rooster gave birth to the eggs in our house, but they cost more than ten or twenty yuan each.

Lian Ermai is such a powerful person, after hearing this, she knew what was going on after a little thought, and she was furious in her heart.She didn't show it on the surface, but secretly reported the matter to the old lady and the wife, and wanted to check the accounts of the whole house.

After more than half a year of investigation, it turned out that everyone was not clean.If only the Second Grandma Lian dealt with it, they might have been sent to the government with a board.

Fortunately, the old ladies and wives were kind enough to let the old man who lived in the mansion for many years only make up money and guarantee that he would never be ignorant of money again.Only those purchases with a lot of money were confiscated and sent to the government.

Later, the housekeeper of the Second Grandma Lian became more and more strict. Everyone in the house was in danger, and they all waited on them with their tails tightened. They didn't dare to make money like before.

This old mother's son used to buy hair oil and rouge. Although she only made up a little money because of her face and was not sent to the government, he also lost the job of buying, and he could no longer be reused by his master. The horses are brushed in the shed.

The son has no future, how can the old mother not resent.She has no embarrassment in saying bad things about Bao Cong in such an emphatic way, and she is not the only one in the house who says that!

The old mother was there just now, and Aunt Xue couldn't say anything straightforward. Now it was only their mother and daughter, so Aunt Xue hurriedly said to Baochai, "My son, you heard that Baozhen sounds even mudder than your brother." Look, you can stay far away in the future. If you are unlucky and cannot avoid it, then stand far away."

He patted his chest again and rejoiced: "Fortunately, it is his elder brother who has jade, otherwise, even if there is a golden and jade marriage, I would not be willing to give you to him."

Baochai's face was thin, and when she heard this, she was immediately ashamed, and said softly, "Mom, what are you talking about!"

Aunt Xue saw that she was ashamed, so she stopped talking and said that Baocong was not good.

But Baochai was very puzzled. When her son first came here, she also saw two treasures, jade and treasures. One was fresh and handsome, and the other was handsome.Why is it that when the woman said it now, she just praised Baoyu and described Baocong so unbearably?

So Baochai persuaded Aunt Xue: "We have met the two cousins. Even if the third cousin is naughty, I don't look like this woman described. It is this woman who treats the master so casually." Talking about it, and talking about it to ruin other people's reputation, I don't think she is a good person, and what she said is unbelievable."

Aunt Xue shook her head and said, "My son, you are only in your teens, how many people have you met? There are so many spoiled kids from wealthy families! Just say your brother, if it weren't for him... ..”

Thinking of her son beating someone to death, she sighed heavily and stopped talking.

As soon as Baochai heard this, she knew that her mother was in a bad mood again, so she hurriedly talked about the sisters in the Jia family, which made Aunt Xue happy again.

What Baochai thinks, Baocong doesn't know, he is worrying!

A few years ago, he was thinking about making money.

He is not very good at doing business, but he is also good at carving and has run a studio.

It is better to be familiar with it than to be a raw one, so he thought about opening a jade carving shop. First, he hired an experienced shopkeeper to make sure that he would not lose money, and then he slowly thought of ways to make more profits.

Bao Cong thought it easy, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult to do this!

With so many properties in Jia's mansion, Mrs. Jia Muwang has shops in her hands. Bao Cong went to ask for them, but they all said that he was messing around, and they were unwilling to give him even a small shop.

Wang Xifeng was in charge of the shops in the Jia Mansion and her own dowry shop, and it was impossible for him to use them.

After making a fuss for a long time, Bao Cong didn't ask to go to the shop, thinking that if he didn't give it to him, he wouldn't give it up, and he could just buy one secretly.

As a result, his grandpa Wu Hui's father inquired back and said that a store with a poor location outside would cost more than 100 taels of silver, and if the location was on a busy street, it would cost more than a thousand taels.

Baocong hurriedly went to look through the small silver coffers of himself and Baoyu. After a few years, the outside was spent, and the inside was used for rewarding people.

Thinking of all the things he spent lavishly before, Bao Cong really regretted it.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless to regret it, so I can only take the one or two hundred silver and buy a small shop first, intending to sell all his jade works carved in the past.

The small shop is at the end of the alley street, not to mention its location, and its decoration is outdated.Only Xiang Qingya is good, there are several shops selling books, calligraphy, paintings, pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the alley.

Bao Cong opened the store to make money, not because he was idle.Seeing that the small shop was really inconspicuous, I personally drew the decoration drawings according to the appearance of the classic jade shop in the previous life, and went to supervise the decoration from time to time, insisting on pretending that this small shop looks like a high-cold hermit.

After running around the house for several days, Ri Baocong was so tired that he fell asleep lying on the rocking chair while listening to the clanging of decorations.

In the dream, he suddenly saw a misty white mist, and Bao Cong vaguely saw a goose-yellow figure.As the figure approached, he saw a fairy-like girl.

"Hey, why is there another precious jade?" The girl was surprised.

Baocong wanted to say that he was not Baoyu, so he opened his mouth, but couldn't speak!

"Oh, could it be that Shenying's waiter went down to the earth and separated into two mortal fetuses?" Then, the girl took Baocong's arm and went to the palace in front, "The previous Baoyu has already gone in, so you go too Bar!"

Bao Cong: "???" What is this?Too illusory?Police fantasy fairy?

Seeing that the girl tugged him lightly and skillfully, Bao Cong did not try to shake her away, but was pulled all the way into the misty and gorgeous palace in front of him.

After entering the palace, there were many fairies standing on both sides, and everyone was surprised and amused when they saw him.

"Why is there another precious jade?"

"Hee hee, this Baoyu is more heroic than the previous one!"

"I still like the one in front, she calls me sister, that little mouth is so sweet..."

"I like this one, it's majestic and masculine..."

But Xian'e, who was sitting on the main seat above, said in surprise: "Hey, this is not a waiter of Shenying, but a lonely ghost who came from somewhere. With such good fortune, he came to our place!"

Bao Cong: "???"

Am I a lonely ghost?All of you are...uh, uh, these seem to be Xian'e, why are you talking so badly...

The fairy who brought Bao Cong in was naturally panicked, and hurriedly said: "So it's not Shenying's waiter, but I admitted my mistake!" As she said that, she wanted to pull him out again.

Unexpectedly, a fairy wearing a pink skirt and exquisite face came up to stop her, and said with a smile: "Fairy Jinghuan, since he is here, it is God's will, why not let him enjoy some delicious food here before going back?"

Bao Cong murmured in his heart: What are you enjoying?Food and wine?Eating and drinking while dreaming, can you still taste the taste?

Only to hear the Fairy Jing Huan laughed and said: "If you are willing, then take him there."

The fairy in the pink skirt dragged him all the way to the back of the palace.

Bao Cong followed in a daze, crossed the small bridge and flowing water, and entered the pavilions. When he saw a fragrant boudoir with a very fragrant bed inside, he suddenly woke up!

What did Baoyu do in the illusory realm!

Baocong stared, turned her head with difficulty, and saw that Xian'e had already taken off her skirt, and was coming to take off his skirt!

Bao Cong: No no no!I'm only twelve!I'm still a baby!Please let me go!
