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

Baocong woke up screaming and struggling.He was sweating profusely, panting, and panicked!

Fortunately, he woke up early, otherwise he would lose a layer of skin!

"Third Master, what's the matter with you?" Wu Hui and Qing Shuang hurried forward to check the situation. They were very worried at first, but when they saw Bao Cong was wet, their eyes suddenly drifted and they became embarrassed.

Everyone is a boy, so of course they know what Bao Cong dreamed about.

Bao Cong was the most embarrassed one, and quickly lifted the corner of his robe to cover himself.

"...Third Master, you take off your little one and wash it?" Wu Hui asked in a low voice.

How else could it be said that among so many young men, Bao Cong's favorite is Wu Hui?Wu Hui is not only his baby brother, but also loyal and caring!

Of course Bao Cong feels uncomfortable when his pants are wet, but he can't be naked, can he?

Bao Cong glanced at Wu Hui's trousers...brown, with a lot of sawdust on them, a little dirty, and the crescent-colored robe he was wearing today didn't match...

Look at Qingshuang's pants again, um, not bad, they are still clean, and they are aqua blue, which goes well with the crescent moon color.

When Qingshuang saw Baocong's eyes staring at his trousers, she understood with a thump in her heart!

...After a while, Qingshuang put on Bao Cong's trousers with an extremely ugly face. Although Wu Hui had scrubbed and washed them, the trousers were still wet!

Seeing that Qingshuang's face was really ugly, Bao Cong said embarrassedly: "Why don't we change it back, we're going back home anyway."

Qingshuang shook her head, gritted her teeth and said, "No need, I'll change myself when I go back to the mansion, the third master should wear clean clothes."

Qingshuang knew in her heart that no matter how generous Baocong treated him, he was still just a servant.It can't be that the master is wearing dirty pants, he doesn't show any actions as a servant, right?

Seeing that Qingshuang insisted, Bao Cong stopped persuading them, and after a rough look at the progress of the renovation, he planned to lead them home.

He came out on a pony, so naturally he rode a pony back.

However, today seemed to be a bit unlucky. He had just left the alley when he ran into Xue Pan who was riding a tall horse and wandering with several servants.

We only met a few days ago, but we met face to face today. Of course, relatives and brothers can't pretend not to see each other.

Bao Cong was a little younger, so he rode forward slowly, and greeted Xue Pan with a smile: "Brother Xue is in a good mood today, where do you want to go for a stroll?"

"Hey, it's Brother Baocong?" Xue Pan said pleasantly, "Where else can I go shopping, I just plan to find a good place to have a drink."

Xue Pan was also very happy to meet Bao Cong, regardless of gender, he has always liked good-looking people the most.Of course, Bao Cong is his cousin, and also the treasure of the Duke's mansion, he dare not think about those messy things.

But he saw Qingshuang who was following Baocong at a glance. She had such a beautiful face. Although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she had a cool and outstanding demeanor. Xue Pan's eyeballs suddenly became hot.

"Brother Baocong, would you like to have fun with me?" Xue Pan winked and warmly invited.

Naturally, Bao Cong noticed Xue Pan's expression, so he moved his horse inadvertently, covered Qing Shuang behind him, and replied, "I'm not going, there's something else to do!" Said: "You go back to the mansion first, tell Mr. I will go back later."

Qingshuang is used to looking at people's faces, seeing this scene, she quickly lowered her head, answered vaguely, and slipped away from behind.

Bao Cong said that he still had something to do, and asked someone to go back to report that he would go back later. After hearing this, Xue Pan thought that Bao Cong was also interested in drinking, but he was embarrassed to say so.

So he came forward on horseback, approached Bao Cong with a wretched smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Let's go secretly, brother, I guarantee that no one will tell!"

But Bao Cong shook his head, instead he smiled and said to Xue Pan: "I have something to tell Big Brother Xue, I met you today, brother, come and play with me first."

Xue Pan thought that Baocong and him were on the same path, so he said cheerfully: "Okay, brother Baocong said where to play, let's go there today!"

"Then let's go!" Bao Cong grabbed the horse rope and turned around first, clamped his legs, and went back to the alley street.

When he arrived at the place, Xue Pan sat on the big horse and looked at the door of the shop.

The facades are all made of mahogany, and there is an oval door opening in front, with the inscription "Yushixuan".Looking inside, you can vaguely see a small courtyard inside, and you can vaguely see some mini courtyard buildings with flowers, plants and flowing water.I also saw a carved door open, and a shop waiter was passing through the hall carrying a few brocade boxes.

This is Baocong's shop. The general decoration has been completed, but some details of the shelves have not been finished yet.At this time, it is not simple to bring Xue Pan to see it.

"Brother Baocong, what is there to do in this place? Are you looking to buy jade?" Xue Pan sneered, and said with disgust: "Although the facade of this shop is interesting, but the place is too small, there probably isn't much good stuff. If you want Brother’s family has a lot of jade, so I’ll find it later and give it to you.”

"Then thank you Brother Xue for your kindness!"

Bao Cong got off the horse with a smile, dragged Xue Pan in, and said as he walked, "I opened this small shop secretly for fun, and my family didn't know about it. Inside were small things I carved to play with myself, and the first thing was to earn some pocket money." Second, there is no room for my things at home. Brother Xue is an imperial merchant, and when it comes to doing business, he is a master among the masters. Naturally, I want to ask Brother Xue for advice."

When Xue Pan heard that this store was opened by Bao Cong, and that the jade inside was carved by himself, Xue Pan's expression changed immediately.

He showed an expression of extreme surprise and admiration: "Brother Baocong has opened his own shop at such a young age!" He also joked: "Brother's family has such a big family business, and you are the baby of the family. Short pocket money?"

Bao Cong was embarrassed and said: "Isn't this a place where money is used? I am embarrassed to ask my family for money, but my family is not happy to give it to me!"

Xue Pan was raised by Aunt Xue since he was a child. Although Aunt Xue couldn't control him, he was well aware of the long-windedness of the elders, so he immediately understood what Bao Cong said.

Bao Cong led Xue Pan to look around the shop, then called the shopkeeper, Father Wu, and whispered a few words.Father Wu nodded, went to the small warehouse, and brought out a tray of jade pendants.

"Hey, Brother Baocong's craftsmanship is very good!" Xue Pan is good at eating, drinking and having fun, and he has a vicious eye when he looks at good things.

He saw that the jade pendants on the tray were all warm and lustrous, and the carvings were even more lifelike, so he admired them sincerely.

Bao Cong was also not humble, boasting shamelessly: "Brother Xue doesn't know, I have been studying this way for several years, and there are not thousands of pieces of carved jade, but there are hundreds of pieces. It's all my hard work in it." Brother Xue, please appreciate it carefully."

Hearing what Bao Cong said, Xue Pan took out the jade pendants and looked at them one by one, and praised each one.

It's just that he didn't study much, and after he said a few good words, he couldn't think of any words of praise. He was racking his brains, when Bao Cong smiled and picked up a jade pendant and stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile: " Big brother Xue has a good eye, he knows that there are good things here!"

"Now that the shop is about to open, Brother Xue might as well be the first customer, buy this jade pendant, give my younger brother a good start, and let me also borrow the golden light of the Imperial Merchant."

Xue Pan: "???"

Hearing Bao Cong so shamelessly soliciting business, Xue Pan was really dumbfounded!

It's just that he wants to save face, Bao Cong said so, he must buy it!

So he asked: "I don't know what the price of this jade pendant is?"

"Brother Xue is happy to look at it, so just give it to you!" Bao Cong waved his hand indifferently and said, "I found a good rough stone for this jade pendant, and it took more than half a month to polish it carefully, and I asked a famous artist to make a pattern. The words, I carved them carefully for several months before making them."

At this point, Xue Pan's back felt cold, and cold sweat broke out.His brothers have put in so much effort, can he still give it casually?

Before Bao Cong finished, he looked at Xue Pan expectantly and asked, "Brother Xue, look at how much this thing of mine is worth?"

"Energy value..." The cold sweat on Xue Pan's forehead also came out, "Two, no, three? No, no, five..."

Facing Shang Baocong's bright and expectant eyes, Xue Pan couldn't say anything about the 50 taels, so he quickly wiped off his cold sweat, and changed his words: "Five, 500 taels."

When Bao Cong heard this, he smiled happily and said happily, "Brother Xue still has eyes!" Then he said to Father Wu: "Didn't I ask someone to send the woven jade tassels to you? Bring them here quickly. Put on this jade pendant, Big Brother Xue is just right to wear it!"

Father Wu nodded with a smile and bowed his head. His footsteps were like the wind, and he went to the small storeroom to find a light-yellow jade tassel, and quickly put on the jade pendant.

Bao Cong handed the jade pendant to Xue Pan with his own hands, and stared at him with a smile on his waist.

The jade pendant he chose for Xue Pan was of high quality, engraved with the pattern of green pine on the top of the mountain, and there were a few poems on the back: pine at the bottom of the Yuyu stream, and seedlings on the mountain from Lili.With the stems one inch in diameter, shade this one hundred feet.

Not to mention the exquisiteness of the work, the most important thing is the attribute of jade, morality +10.

500 taels of silver taught Xue Pan to be a good person. If Aunt Xue knew, she would be so grateful to him!

Xue Pan smiled and touched the jade pendant on his waist, but his heart was bleeding.

500 taels of silver!Just go out!

It doesn't take so much silver to buy a top card!

On the other side, after Qingshuang returned to Jia's mansion, she wanted to hurry to change her pants, but was stopped by a group of servants and found fault!

"What's the matter? Second Master Bao can't control you anymore, can he?" Mingyan followed a few young men who were close to him, and said arrogantly, "On weekdays, Second Master Bao's good and rare things are sent to you. , now I just ask you to get the fan from Ermen, if you just take Joe like this, you really think you are the master!"

Ming Yan has long seen that Qingshuang is not pleasing to the eye, and it is fine to seduce Second Master Bao because he is good-looking, but he is obviously Third Master Bao's servant, but hangs around with Second Master Bao every day, causing him to be in front of Second Master Bao. It's almost untenable!

He had long wanted to teach Qingshuang a lesson, and the absence of the second and third masters today was a good opportunity!

Qingshuang knew that Mingyan and the others found fault because of jealousy, so she said with a sullen face and coldly: "I want to do things for the third master, and you can't afford to delay it!"

Mingyan was still a little afraid of Baocong, so he flinched immediately, and was hesitating whether to persist, when a sharp-eyed boy yelled: "Brother Mingyan, don't listen to his nonsense! He's an errand! You see Look at his trousers—wet! He must be rushing back to change his trousers!"

Everyone concentrated on watching, Qingshuang took a few steps back, the middle of the trousers was indeed wet!

"Hahaha, I don't know what good deed Qingshuang did to come back!" The servants laughed unscrupulously.

"Go away!" Seeing everyone's faces like that, Qingshuang's face became even more stinky, and she didn't care if they were blocking the road, she raised her leg and wanted to run away.

Of course, Mingyan couldn't let him run away, so he quickly directed everyone: "Stop him quickly, and carry him to the second gate!"

The second gate is the dividing line between the outer courtyard and the inner house, and these young servants cannot pass without being summoned by the master.Mingyan's plan today is to throw Qingshuang into the second door.

If Qingshuang is lucky, he might just be beaten a few times, but if he is unlucky, if he happens to be seen by Lian's second grandma or second wife, maybe he can be kicked out of Jia's house!

Mingyan's abacus was crackling, everyone laughed and carried the struggling Qingshuang to the second gate, and happened to see Qingwen arguing with her brother and sister-in-law there!

Mingyan was overjoyed immediately, come on!When I met this pungent older sister today, I'm afraid that everyone in the house will know that this bitch Qingshuang has broken into the second door!
