[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

"Miss Lin is here." The little girl in front of the door was teasing Aunt Xue's kitten, when she looked up and saw Daiyu approaching the door, she replied with a smile and lifted the curtain. "Miss Lin, please come in."

Daiyu took a round fan and walked in along the raised curtain. As soon as she entered, she saw Zuo Xi, whose cheeks were puffed up from eating, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, while moving back, obviously about to lie down.

Zuo Xi didn't expect Daiyu to come so fast, let alone the little girl at the door would be lazy, and was caught off guard by Daiyu.

Daiyu: "..."

Zuo Xi: "..."

Eyes met, Daiyu leaned against the door frame with a half-smile and shook her round fan once and for all.Zuo Xi silently swallowed the grapes in his mouth slowly, and then slowly sat up straight, putting on a dignified appearance of a lady.

"coming."

"sick?"

Knowing that Daiyu saw out her little thought of pretending to be sick, Zuo Xi touched her little ears embarrassingly, and under Daiyu's teasing, she instantly became righteous again, "Hurry up."

"Bah, can we prepare for being sick first? Okay, what are you doing to curse yourself for no reason?" Daiyu, who has been ill since she was a child, never sees others pretending to be sick.

"Isn't this trying to be pitiful, in exchange for Miss Lin's sympathy?" Zuo Xi raised her face after speaking, and gave Daiyu a pitiful smile.

"Heh~" Daiyu smiled coldly, and said very bluntly, "It's so ugly."

Zuo Xi was not annoyed when he heard this, and made a gesture of scratching his head at Daiyu, "You don't understand my beauty."

Disgusted by Zuo Xi, Daiyu slapped her fan in the air a few times, and asked Zuo Xi impatiently what he wanted her to do.

"My eyes hurt recently, and I can't see anything." She pushed the stacks of ledgers on the Kang table towards Daiyu, "Please help Miss Lin to take a look."

Hearing this, Daiyu went to the Kang table and sat down, picked up the topmost account book and flipped through it twice, "This is it?"

"Our family's running account is from the first half of this year. I feel that the cost is much higher than in previous years. Please help me find out where the excess is." Rubbing his eyes while talking, "My eyes It really can't."

"Why are you watching, where is Auntie?" Daiyu put the ledger back, thinking that this matter should not be something that she, an outsider, could do, and refused to agree.

"Don't mention it, my mother can't count on it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone when I get out of this door." Zuo Xi handed the tea brought by Ying'er to Daiyu with her own hands, "Miss Lin, help me, Later, I will give you a set of fine Zihao."

Unable to bear Zuo Xi's begging, Daiyu had no choice but to pick up the account book again and read it.

It was the Xue family's general ledger, daily expenses, entertainment, and various expenses were listed on it.After reading the first half of this year, look at the whole year of last year.According to the two account books, Daiyu has an idea of ​​this kind of government account.I believe that with Daiyu's intelligence, even if she has never been a housekeeper, nor has she ever learned how to be a housekeeper, she can still cope with the changes at the end of this year.

Daiyu looked at the account, Zuo Xi sent Ying'er out with a smile, and sat opposite Daiyu holding a plate of grapes while eating and thinking wildly.

I used to feel that time passed slowly, but now I find that time is like being stolen, and a large part of it will be cut off unconsciously.

The 27-month filial piety period has ended, and next year will be the age line for entering the palace, so when Aunt Xue was visiting her two days ago, she even talked to Zuo Xi about entering the palace.

Zuo Xi didn't plan to start working at the age of 13. When Aunt Xue mentioned it, she directly talked about him, and interrupted Xue Pan with a smile, "There are small elections every year, I'll wait for news from my brother. "

Speaking of this son, Aunt Xue became more and more satisfied, saying bluntly that Father Xue died early and did not see his son make progress.

But it's no wonder that Aunt Xue is so restless, the main reason is that Xue Pan is really talented in archery.Especially in the past two years, being fooled by Zuo Xi, the level of hunting has gradually increased.

And Xue Pan is not only talented, he is also a person who likes to use his strengths to compare with others' weaknesses, and then find confidence.

Nowadays, Zuo Xi often gives people skins in spring and autumn, and Daiyu is the most, followed by Sanchun.Later, in order to stimulate and encourage Xue Pan, Zuo Xi also ordered people to make all the second-class leather into small waistcoats for the servant girls in front of the master to wear.

No one dislikes this kind of silent praise, and Xue Pan is no exception.After that, Xue Pan, who focused on riding and shooting, gradually distanced himself from his cronies.

Because we can't play together.

Xue Pan is two years older than Zuo Xi, and will be fourteen this year.Now that you have filial piety, you can look at things like marriage.It's not abrupt for Zuo Xi to interrupt with this.

……

After taking a sip of tea, Zuo Xi's gaze fell on Daiyu who was flipping through the account book again.

This baby has just become a mother's filial piety, and then caught up with her father who was seriously ill.When she came back, she was the only one left in the Lin family.

"I want to start a small business. I have the capital, but I just want to find someone to do it with me. I'm in charge of paying the money, and that person is in charge of watching the accounts and splitting the accounts."

"Just say that the person you want to find is me." Daiyu looked down at the account, and continued Zuo Xi's words without raising her head, "Is your family's business still low? Now, these 80 What happened to the two?"

Following Daiyu's fingers, Zuo Xi tilted his head and glanced at the item that only said 80 taels, and there was no use written or marked expenditure next to it.

Zuo Xi thought for a while and said, "The former mother met Ma Daopo at his wife's place. Do you know her?"

"Why don't you know. She is Baoyu's godmother, and she is used to coaxing people."

"She told my mother that my brother's debt to the local government has not yet been settled, and the money is for this."

"That's what she told the old lady when I first came here last year." Daiyu has a good memory, and when Zuo Xi mentioned it, she remembered what Ma Daopo did back then. "I said that my fortune is poor, and I only owe 56 taels. The old lady gave her 100 taels of silver and asked her to add a sea lantern to me."

Zuo Xi twitched the corners of her mouth, wondering how Daiyu owed the Shousheng debt to the underworld.

"Forget it, Xiuti, that pickled woman, is only a few taels of silver, so I should send it to the brat. You can write it down for me, so that it will save a long time, and I will never remember it again."

Daiyu thought so too, picked up a pen and wrote a few words aside, then put down the pen again and continued to read the book.

It took Daiyu two whole days to read this stack of journal accounts before she finished them all.After reading all the accounts, but not finding what Zuo Xi said, Daiyu understood that Zuo Xi's drunkard's intention was not to drink.

Daiyu silently wrote down all these things.I feel grateful to Zuo Xi for treating her so well, and treat Zuo Xi more and more differently from others.

Even among these sisters, Zuo Xi is the only outsider who has no blood relationship with her.

……

During the time when Daiyu was looking at the tent, Master Jiu had already tortured the monk and Taoist who had worn the pipa bone.

Jiuye originally had doubts about the identities of the monk and Taoist, fearing that he would wrongly wrong the good people.But when Master Jiu got the Fengyue Baojian, he instantly thought of one thing.

It was an old story of his maternal cousin.

The girls from Guo Luoluo's family, especially those from Yifei's family, are all extremely beautiful.Although Jiu Ye's cousin is not as good-looking as his aunt, she is also charming.

He didn't want to leave the pavilion, but there was a big incident that ruined Qingyu.

A down-and-out wanderer got drunk in a restaurant, and even said that he and his cousin were in love with each other, and that they already had a physical relationship.Others would not believe it, but the prodigal son could accurately tell the secret birthmark on the cousin's body, which made people have to believe it.

Although it was later proved that the cousin was innocent, it also ruined her reputation.The cousin was still married into her husband's family, and her husband's family took in two side rooms first.The girl from the Guo Luoluo clan is also a strong-tempered girl, she asked Concubine Yi to come here, she directly withdrew the marriage, and invited her to marry far away in Mongolia.

At that time, everyone thought that it was the person who waited close to the cousin who told the matter about the cousin to that person.After all, my cousin has never had any contact with that person, and with Guo Luoluo's family background, it is impossible for him, a down-and-out man, to touch the inner house.

Now, seeing this Fengyue Baojian, there is still something I don't understand.

As long as Master Jiu thinks that this Fengyue Baojian has been used by countless stinky men, he will feel sick to his stomach.

This matter must be investigated to find out.

There are many ways to interrogate prisoners. First, a good start to the meal, and then some appetizers, and then interrogation after the appetizers are served.If there are two people, they will be interrogated separately, compared with each other, and confessed to each other.

When it is almost squeezed out, serve two big dishes. At this moment, even the things in the bones can squeeze out three taels of oil.

The two monks and Taoists were not the kind of hard-headed people who would be beaten to death for their beliefs and would not speak up, but after serving them with a few instruments of torture, they confessed with ghosts and wolves.

The Fengyue Baojian is a magic weapon refined by the fairy girl Jinghuan in the illusory realm, and it is used to treat the lovesickness of passionate men in the world.

The medicine introduction of Lengxiangwan was also given to them by Fairy Jing Huan from Taixu Illusion, and only this copy was given to Xue's family according to Jing Huan's intention.

Unexpectedly, during the interrogation, the two people suddenly stared wide-eyed, their faces were terrified, and they were trembling in resistance, and they passed out directly after a few breaths.After that, no matter how the crowd called, neither of them woke up.

Master Jiu was worried that there was fraud here, so before leaving the cell, he still ordered people to guard him strictly.

This Fengyue Baojian is a misfortune, it must not be kept in your own hands.

Yes, this thing is indeed not a good thing, but you can't send this thing directly to the palace for your father, right?

How filial.

The full man does not know that the hungry man is hungry today, and he also sees that Fengyue Baojian hates it.Asked to throw it into the carbon basin and destroy it.

After all, the Fengyue Baojian is not an ordinary product, how can it be melted and damaged by this ordinary carbon basin?

Seeing that the Fengyue Baojian has not changed, Master Jiu thought for a while and asked someone to bring a pot of filthy things, and then put the Fengyue Baojian in it, and asked someone to put the basin soaked in Fengyue Baojian on a carbon basin to heat it together .

As the Fengyue Baojian soaked into the filth, some of these filthy things were absorbed by the Fengyue Baojian.

In the illusory realm, Jing Huan has already known what happened to the lame Taoist and Laitou monk through a ray of consciousness attached to them.While remotely operating the divine sense to attack the monk and the Taoist, he cursed the two of them as trash in his heart.

When the consciousness of monk and Taoist were seriously injured, Jing Huan also suffered some backlash.At this moment, Jing Huan is suppressing the irritability that things are derailed, while preparing to look for more clues through clues.

At this moment, Jing Huan suddenly frowned and vomited instantly.

It turned out that those filthy things absorbed by Fengyue Baojian somehow got into Jing Huan's mouth.

When Jing Huan vomited disgustingly, Fengyue Baojian, which was boiled in a basin, finally absorbed a certain amount of filth, became softer and smaller, and finally actually melted...

And Jing Huan, who was far away in the illusory realm of Fangchun Mountain, was also injured in this toss, and he retreated to recuperate after that, and it took years to come out.

The emperor on earth heard his son's accident with his own ears, and saw the function and melting of Fengyue Baojian, so he directly took over the lame Taoist and Laitou monk, and planned to wake them up by extraordinary methods, and continue to interrogate them.

As for the source of this incident, the little girl who was entrusted with a dream has no thought of meeting her now.

Just like Jiu Ye and others would investigate the Xue family, after the Xue family became a game field, they also paid some attention to the Xue family now.

How could Mr. Xue give birth to such a pair of sons and daughters?

If you compare goods, you have to throw them away, and if you compare people, you have to die.Originally, he was dissatisfied with his old nine, but compared with the pair of children of the Xue family, he felt incomparable star lake in an instant.

……

From summer to autumn, and then to the fall of winter snow, Zuo Xi didn't wait for any news related to Lengxiang Wan, and knew in her heart that the Lengxiang Wan in her hand was out of print.

Fortunately, there is no light in the east and light in the west, and there is no Leng Xiangwan, but the shop jointly opened by Zuo Xi and Daiyu has also opened.

Like a serious business, the two signed a formal document.The document was just as what Zuo Xi and Daiyu had said at the beginning, she was in charge of paying the money and the shop, and Daiyu was in charge of checking the accounts and running the business, with [-]% of the income.

The reason why Zuo Xi proposed it now was because he wanted to set up this pocket money shop while Lin Ruhai was still alive.At this time, compared with Lin Ruhai's death, Yu Daiyu's meaning is absolutely different.Because even if Lin Ruhai is gone in the future, this shop is no longer a charity for Daiyu.

Daiyu wants to open a bookstore and sell some paper, ink, pens and inkstones.Zuo Xi thought that Xue's family was involved in all kinds of businesses, so he wanted to buy goods from Xue's shop at the purchase price and open his own grocery store.The public said that the public is right, and the mother-in-law is right, and then the two had a friendly negotiation with force. The last two storeys, the first floor is a grocery store, and the second floor sells paper, ink, pens and inkstones.

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the servants of the Lin family who came to give the New Year gift also sent a letter written by Lin Ruhai.
