Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

In Chongyu's study, Chongyu is discussing with Xue Biao how to make more money from Jia's family and other families who are planning to visit relatives.

The third prince's people will be responsible for assisting, so that the Lin family business can sell things at a high price, and those who buy them don't know the truth, and they have to be grateful to the Lin family business.But even if there are people from the third prince to provoke and incite comparisons, it still needs the Lin Family Firm to provide enough luxurious and exquisite rare items.

The Lin family business has just started, and many things are not well prepared.Fortunately, there is Xue Biao, a person who has been in contact with many Xue's businesses, which saves Chongyu a lot of trouble.What Xue Biao doesn't use is only the funds of the Xue family, but how can there be any reason not to use his connections?

Although many of the Xue family's businesses are still only managed by Xue Pan's house, Xue Biao is not without contact with anything.Even when Xue Biao's father was still alive, he often took Xue Biao to buy goods, even Baoqin.

Because the Xue family's business has been depleted day by day, the Xue family knows so many people, but it may not be able to continue to do business with them.Chongyu is now running the Lin family business, which happens to use all the contacts that the Xue family has been unable to use day by day.

Now it is necessary to discuss what to use to arouse the interest of the Jia family and others. After discussing with Xue Biao, Chongyu decided to use some rare foreign objects.

Foreign things are not necessarily better than domestic ones, but for these noble families in China, they want good things in China, except for those that cannot be used due to insufficient grades, what else do they not have?It's just that foreign things can satisfy the rarity.

The business has been negotiated, and the time is late, and even the third watch has passed, Chongyu's expression is tired, Xue Biao should have said goodbye to Chongyu.

It was only something that Baochai asked during the day, which made Xue Biao hesitate.

Chongyu covered her mouth quietly and yawned, just to let Xue Biao go back earlier, but Xue Biao hesitated to speak.

He hesitated for a while before asking: "Second Brother Xue, what else can you do?"

During this period of time, he is also very busy. He has to work hard at the business, and he has to study as usual in his schoolwork, and he has to find time to practice martial arts every day... But if he didn't have the physique from martial arts training, I'm afraid he would have already I can't bear to rest for a few days.

Chongyu hoped that nothing would happen, but Xue Biao nodded.

"Speaking of which, there is really one thing."

Chongyu sighed inwardly.

Xue Biao said: "It's really not my business. My sister told me today that the son of General Shenwu's family is going to be engaged to the eldest girl of Baolinghou's mansion, and asked me to find out about Mr. Feng. "

Chongyu laughed and said, "What kind of business do I know? It turned out to be Feng Ziying and Sister Yun's! At this time, it is roughly settled, but the date has not been selected to formally carry out the formal ceremony, but everyone who should know knows it Now, with the face of the two of them, if there is no big and strange incident, it is impossible to change it."

He thought about it again, and said: "A few years ago, the Feng family and the Shi family had been in contact more and more, and they became more acquainted after the year. Coincidentally, Feng Ziying never made an appointment for marriage. The Feng family has always been close to the Jia family. When we were in Rongfu, the Feng family already knew that there was such a girl. Besides, Sister Yun had been raised by my grandmother for several years, and she was deeply loved by my grandmother. Sister Yun?"

In the past, historians still wanted to use Xiangyun to build a relationship with the Lin family, but now Bowlinghou Shi Nai has become acquainted with Lin Ruhai, and has even begun to cooperate in certain matters, and the biggest role of Xiangyun is to make Bowlinghoufu and Lin Ruhai The Lin family naturally had more contacts.Therefore, the value of Xiangyun to historians has declined.

The Feng family was very sincere in their proposal to marry Xiangyun, and among the young sons of the same generation and about the same age, it was not easy for Shi Nai and his wife to find a more suitable candidate than Feng Ziying, and Xiangyun's marriage was a must for him and his wife It was resolved, so I readily agreed to come down.

Xue Biao nodded repeatedly.What Chongyu said will help him judge how to get along with the Feng family in the future.

He was still waiting for Chongyu to speak, but seeing Chongyu looking at him blankly, he could only ask again: "My sister shouldn't want to know these things, right? She has a good relationship with Smith, and most of what she cares about is..."

Chongyu shook his head helplessly: "I only know that Feng Ziying must have a better character among the princes and grandchildren in Beijing. He used to be a little bit aggressive, but after the incident a year ago, he has become more calm. Angry, even his father gradually relied on him. From these aspects alone, he is indeed a good match. But..."

The biggest problem is that historians are now more inclined to the Lin family, that is, the third prince's side, while the Feng family is more inclined to the prince's side.If the prince's side loses in the future, the Feng family will follow the prince all the time, maybe they won't get any good.

Chongyu paused, seeing that Xue Biao probably understood what he was unable to say directly, Fang continued: "However, how can we be sure about the future? All we can do is to do the present thing well."

Xue Biao nodded in agreement, and finally took his leave.What Chongyu told him tonight, he could only choose some to tell Baochai.He also had no choice but to think about how to go to some places where Feng Ziying often haunts, so as to find out more about Feng Ziying's character, so that he can tell Yu Baochai to know.

As for Chongyu, watching Xue Biao out of the study, he didn't wait to go back to the room to rest, so he lay down on the couch prepared for a small rest in the study, and fell asleep in a short time.

He only woke up the next day and heard the news that Daiyu had a cough last night, scaring him to rush to Daiyu's room.

Seeing that Daiyu's complexion was not good, Chongyu almost asked someone to invite Mo Zongliang to have a look.

It wasn't until I heard Zijuan that Baochai came to visit last night and asked Daiyu to obediently take the prepared pills, accompanied by Baochai, and barely slept for a while in the middle of the night, that Chongyu felt relieved and asked Mo Zong Liang suppressed his thoughts for now.

But looking at Daiyu, she didn't seem to care much, she was half complaining and half worried and asked: "The past two days were fine, why did my sister suddenly cough again at night?"

Daiyu hurriedly pulled him to laugh and said, "You also know that every year after the autumnal equinox, I suffer from coughing. I was lucky in the first two nights. I only coughed twice last night. What's so strange? If it wasn't for Ordinary, why does Mr. Mo need to prepare the medicine for me?"

This is reasonable, and Chongyu couldn't find anything strange for a while.And because the weather has been drier than usual in the past two days, he can only assume that is the reason, but in the end he had to ask Daiyu a few more words before going to school.

Seeing that he was gone, Daiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanking Chongyu for not worrying too much.Before Chongyu came, she was still thinking about the day when Chongyu would be free, so she asked Chongyu from the side, if the brothers and sisters who lived together day and night suddenly had some reason and didn't see each other for a long time, would it be special? uncomfortable.

It’s just that when Chongyu came, I asked her about her cough first. She was afraid that Chongyu would find out. The real reason last night was that she was upset and didn’t sleep well as usual...

After this incident, Daiyu's determination to take good care of her own body was strengthened.She had thought about it a long time ago, and she has been paying attention to it a few days ago, but her health has improved so much recently, and even the cough that occurs every year after the autumnal equinox has not occurred much, so she took it lightly.Now that I have been alerted, how can I be as careless as last night?

Just thinking of last night, Daiyu couldn't help thinking of Baochai coming to see her last night. She didn't know why, after taking the pill, she heard Baochai advise her to go to bed earlier, and she asked Baochai to accompany her to sleep.

There were two people lying on the bed, the weather was not too cold, the quilt was not thick, they were so close to each other... Baochai, who was lying peacefully, breathed shallowly, Daiyu didn't hear much.All she heard was her own heartbeat, which was a little fast, but it wasn't the feeling of depression after the fast heartbeat before, but another feeling that couldn't be explained clearly.

She didn't know how she fell asleep in the end, she only knew that before Chongyu came over in the morning, Baochai went back first, so Chongyu didn't bump into her.

All these thoughts were finally suppressed by Daiyu this time.She didn't dare to let herself think wildly anymore, once she thought too much and made herself sick, she had to take medicine and make others worry, why bother?And now there is not so much free time for her to dream.

This year's autumnal equinox is eight or nine days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.Doing the math, it's almost time for Jia's family and Shi's family to take their daughters back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.Moreover, Chen Xiaosheng and the four nuns in Xiqiong Courtyard had to make some arrangements for how to celebrate the festival.

After Chen Xiaosheng came to Lin's house, she lived very comfortably and taught the girls poetry and prose. Although there was one girl who was not very interested in these things, and one girl who liked painting more, the other girls were easy to learn and smart. In the past, in order to make a living, I went to teach in private schools where boys go to school, and I never had such a good feeling.

As for the four nuns who came out of the palace, they didn't have any relatives outside the Lin family, so they naturally spent the New Year's Eve at the Lin family.Daiyu now also wants to be the master of the house, so she has to arrange all these things properly.

In the Rong Mansion, Mother Jia really began to miss her three granddaughters.

The Provincial Courtyard has basically been built now, and when Baoyu and some disciples from the mansion clear the guests to go in, take advantage of the scenery to inscribe a plaque, make it into a lamp plaque and hang it. It needs to be cleaned and tidy every day, so that the imperial concubine can visit relatives.

Although Jia Lian and Xifeng were basically the ones to prepare for those things before, because Jia Zheng was away, Jia's mother had to worry a little more. I'm afraid that Jia Lian and his wife were young and inexperienced. Recently, how could she not think about Tianlun, the harmony of the whole family?

So Mother Jia sent someone to Lin's house early to pick up the girls.

Because Baoqin has been recognized by Mrs. Wang as her goddaughter, and she also lives in Rongfu these days, it is inevitable for Jia's mother to invite Baochai, Aunt Xue and others to Rongfu for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Invitation list.

Xiangyun was the only one who was not invited by Jiamu because he wanted to go back to Baolinghou's mansion.

Xiangyun didn't care too much, seeing that the Yingchun sisters had all gone back to Rongfu, she pretended that Cuilu had packed up her things and went home too.

Yingchun and Xichun returned to Rongfu, but nothing serious happened.Tanchun, on the other hand, had only met the elders one by one, and when she returned to her room, Aunt Zhao followed her. As soon as she entered the room and closed the door, she immediately changed her face and complained angrily, "Girl, you are back!" You don't know what kind of life your brother is living at home these days!"
