The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Wang Ziteng went to Xue's small courtyard to meet his sister first.Aunt Xue was also crying now, Xue Baoqin held a stack of handkerchiefs and persuaded her, and when she saw him, she came in and said hello softly.

Wang Ziteng sighed softly, sat down beside him, and looked at his sister for a long time before saying: "You don't have to be sad, it's better to understand now than later."

Aunt Xue cried: "Even if Bao girl has a thousand faults, there is always one thing that is good. What kind of heart does she have?"

Wang Ziteng sighed: "She is also suffering. She is not a man. Zhu'er has gone again. Apart from Baoyu, she has no hope. Although Pan'er is an idiot, judging from today's incident, she is still a little bit strong."

Aunt Xue stopped crying immediately, and said happily: "Yes, thanks to my Pan'er is a good one, otherwise the money will be paid back, I'm afraid his sister will be trapped in it for the rest of her life."

Wang Ziteng said: "Pan'er suffered such a big loss for her today, the three of you mothers are also angry, and more than half of the money will be returned, and the rest can't escape if you want to. Anyway, she is still the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, Is it true that there will be no more contacts in the future? In the past, I was not as good as the next generation in their mansion. Looking at it now, I am afraid that I was coaxed by En Hou. That guy is hiding deep enough. Besides, that kid Jia Cong will come to Japan There is no limit, and Pan'er can't catch up with a horse. Just for Pan'er's sake, I advise you, don't split up with their family after all."

But when he entered the courtyard, someone went back to Xue Pan Baochai, and the two rushed to the house after hearing the news. Now they heard these words at the door.Xue Pan walked in and smiled and said: "Uncle is still worried about this! The two houses in their house have fought several times. Cong'er and I are close friends, and he is responsible for everything between my aunt and their old lady." It was given to me. I also see that Jia Baoyu is not as good as Cong'er. Let's not worry about their second wife, just keep in touch with the first wife."

The prince glared at him and said: "What do you know? The two of them fought because their old lady was too partial. Enhou was obviously better than Cun Zhou. She wanted Cun Zhou to preside over the mansion. She was young and Taking over the title of mother-in-law has forced Enhou to pretend to be crazy and foolish for so many years. In the past two years, she has grown older and cannot be restrained, so Enhou will naturally get up. Jia Cunzhou is not a capable person. Now the old lady's The private house is also posted to the second room. The foundation is empty, and no one in the mansion can stop Jia Enhou. As the saying goes, breaking the bones connects the tendons. After a while, they will be born in their house, and the old lady and the second room will never get back together again. If there is no storm, the two families will reconcile again, do you believe it or not?"

Xue Pan was taken aback.

Wang Ziteng said again: "Although what Jia Cong said to you helped your family, why didn't you use your power to free up the private coffers of their second wife and Shi Taijun? After all, it was because of his father's status in the mansion. "

Xue Baochai couldn't help laughing wryly: "He doesn't look like an eight-year-old child. He sees through everything I can't see through. It's just for nothing that he's a few years older."

Wang Ziteng said with a smile: "You don't have to belittle yourself, how smart are you? She's a girl again, and she's always confused about big things." The shy Baochai hurriedly lowered her head. "What's more, those words may not be his own thoughts, most of them were taught to him. But I'm not sure who taught him. If it's Jia Enhou, it doesn't look like it."

Xue Pan hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter who taught him, he is a good brother if he treats me well anyway, he really is a good brother!"

Wang Ziteng nodded and said: "You can keep in touch with this boy, he will be able to help you in the future." Yin looked around and asked, "Where is the scorpion?"

Baoqin said: "There is something going on in the shop."

Wang Ziteng then said: "The second master of Rongguo Mansion is here. It turns out that kid Jia Cong gave them another idea. I think it's good." Because he said Jia Zheng's words again.

After hearing this, Xue Pan jumped up and shouted: "No way! I won't give them jade until the money is paid back."

Wang Ziteng said: "For Jia Zheng, if no one pays attention to him, he will use a chicken feather as an arrow. If you are strong, he will be weak. Maybe they can't rely on this time. In my opinion, it's better to give them face. , just to save face for Cong'er."

Xue Pan and Aunt Xue looked at each other, with some hesitation on their faces.

Wang Ziteng was still waiting to persuade, but Baochai said seriously: "Uncle, it's not my niece who doesn't look at uncle's face, it's really the old lady in their family, and my niece can't trust her. She is more cunning than aunt, and she is seasoned and profound. Elder, our family's business has become normal in the past two years, and 27 is really a lot. If she reneges on the debt, my brother will not be able to do anything to her, and if something happens, it will be hard to tell."

Xue Pan hurriedly said: "What my sister said is very true! And she is so old, she accidentally fell, and she is dead and her debt is empty."

Wang Ziteng and Aunt Xue shouted in unison, "Nonsense!"

Xue Pan crossed his hands and said with a grievance on his face: "I didn't curse her! What I said was true! Is there such a thing as Baobuqi? Who would have expected it?"

Baochai stood up and said to her mother and uncle, "Although what brother said is absurd, it is not impossible. If Shi Taijun has something wrong, according to common sense, I am afraid that these debts will be divided into more than half of their elders. It's no wonder that the old man is willing to pay off the debt for the second room! Aren't we lost again?"

Wang Ziteng was also taken aback, and after a while he said: "The words of the two of you are not without reason."

Baochai said: "I just thought about it and made some calculations. Let's listen to my aunt and brother. How about this? At first, when my aunt borrowed money, our family never said that we wanted interest money, so the previous one It doesn’t count. Brother and mother went back and checked the remaining money owed by their family carefully. If there is a very small change, we can also be generous and go for them. After all, they are still relatives, right? The remaining large amount depends on the usual The interest of the bank is calculated, and if the money is repaid every month, it will naturally pay interest. However, the convertible debt must be transferred to the second master of their family, or Baoyu, the old lady must not do it. If the two men refuse , just leave it to my aunt. After signing it, and they have paid it back for half a year without defaulting, you can return the jade to them first. Or pay off the principal within half a year, for the sake of relatives Our family doesn’t want interest. The jade will be returned on the day when the money is paid back. If you want to take the jade back at this time, you can’t, unless they redeem it with cash.”

Xue Pan applauded: "Very, very true! What my sister said is very true!"

Baochai added: "They don't have to worry about the jade being damaged in our house. His jade is not worth much to our family. It is just an ordinary collateral. What use are we going to use it? If we can take it You can exchange the letter and seal of Rongguo Mansion." Prince Xue Pan laughed when he said that, and Baochai also laughed.

Wang Ziteng nodded and said: "Forget it, what Bao girl said is reasonable." Then he said to Xue Pan, "If you have three points of your sister, your father will wake up laughing in the ground."

The three members of the Xue family who said it immediately had red eyes.Xue Pan said guiltily: "Uncle, why bother to come and talk about me again. I already know that I am worthless, I just hang out every day, but I can't do anything. And next year, I will definitely go to the shop to learn how to do business go."

Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "If you are willing to learn business, then the dragon will lay eggs. You just don't want to cause trouble and I will burn incense and worship Buddha every day."

Xue Pan giggled a few times, and sighed, "Cong'er can get such good clothes for his sister, but I can't."

Baochai hurriedly said: "Don't mention that! It's just that I was tricked by their old lady, and it has nothing to do with my brother."

Wang Ziteng asked casually, "What clothes?"

Xue Pan said: "I heard that there are two kinds of clouded leopard cloaks offered by the Russian state. One is made of the hair of the wild duck's head, which is called a fur, and the other is made of peacock feathers and is called bird gold. I searched for it for two days, but I couldn't find it in the market."

Wang Ziteng was not interested in any clothes and cloaks, he didn't know what they were at all, so he said: "It's just two pieces of clothes, I'll ask for you tomorrow."

Baochai hurriedly said: "Now that we live in Uncle's house, it's already a nuisance. How dare we bother Uncle with such a trivial matter?"

Wang Ziteng said: "Just ask, what's the trouble?" Yin stood up and smiled, "Jia Cunzhou is still waiting. I'll go and talk to him."

Xue Pan smiled obsequiously and bowed to him: "Thank you, Uncle."

Wang Ziteng then came back to the front.Jia Zheng waited in his study until he was sweating. He sometimes stood up and sometimes paced, his neck twisted a little sorely, and finally he heard someone outside shouting "Master is back", and hurriedly sat back on his chair.Hearing that Wang Ziteng had entered the door, he quickly stood up again: "Zi Teng! How are you?"

Wang Ziteng shook his head and said, "They can't trust your ancestors." He repeated Baochai's words.

Jia Zheng was in a hurry: "The old lady is a dignified first-class lady. Neither Baoyu nor I can compare with her, and my family members are even more incomparable. Why don't they believe it?"

Wang Ziteng couldn't help sneering in his heart, he only said on his face: "No one in the Xue family is willing to change her name now, they would rather stay under my sister's name."

Jia Zheng stumbled and said, "What should I do!"

Wang Ziteng said: "Don't worry, they will be able to hide the jade properly, and there will be no damage."

Jia Zheng became more and more anxious: "The jade was originally given to Baoyu from heaven to protect him and was contained in his mouth when he was born. How could it have been kept in their house for so long! If there is no protection of the jade, Baoyu will have nothing to lose. There are three long and two short, but what to do. Zi Teng, can you please persuade me again?"

Wang Ziteng said: "I will try again in a few days, but it is extremely difficult for me."

Jia Zheng hurriedly saluted him deeply, "Please." Then he went back with peace of mind.

Wang Ziteng looked at his back in surprise for a long time, and said to himself: "Isn't he going to believe it?"

Jia Zheng returned to Rongguo Mansion and reported the matter to Jia Mu in detail, and finally said with a smile: "Zi Teng said, he will persuade him in a few days. I think Xue's family is angry at the moment, and I'm afraid it will dissipate after a while. It will be fine."

Jia Mu sighed, "I only wish so."

Jia Lian didn't come back until all the affairs in the mansion subsided. When he returned to the courtyard, the people Jia She called to guard hadn't left yet. When they saw him, they all went to call "Second Master", and a leader whispered, "Master." I'm afraid that Second Mistress will be forced to leave by the old lady's people, so we will stick around here, and will definitely not allow Second Mistress to leave the hospital."

Jia Lian couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and sighed, "Master, you've bothered."

When he returned to the house, he listened to Sister Feng Ping'er jokingly talking about coaxing away the mandarin ducks. He also laughed for a long time, and then hugged Fu'er and asked her to call Brother to Sister Feng's belly. The whole family was happy.

At the other end, Xue Pan casually handed the psychic jade to Baochai and said, "My sister will play with this thing for a while, as long as it doesn't break, you can throw it on the kang to play."

Baochai pursed her lips and smiled, then took out the jade from her purse to look at it carefully, thinking of the scene when she saw it in the Rongguo mansion in the early years, and looked down at the golden lock on her body that she had no time to take off, feeling all kinds of emotions.

Early the next morning, the Xue family sent a list.It turned out that Mrs. Wang owed a total of 26 taels to the IOUs owed by Xue's family. Xue's family exempted 300 taels for the face of relatives, so it was 300 taels.The kid who came over said eloquently: "My uncle said, please make a decision within three days, your family will pay back the whole thing within half a year, or pay it back slowly every month. If you want to pay the whole thing back, he will pay it back." Don't bother Mr. Accountant to calculate the interest. If you pay it slowly in monthly installments, this year will be the end of the year. Let's start calculating the interest in January next year. Don't worry, my in-laws, we will only calculate according to the interest of ordinary banks For you guys."

Jia Zheng had only had a good night's sleep last night, and he raised his mind again, and hurriedly said, "Didn't Zi Teng try to persuade him?"

The boy wondered: "Master uncle? He often comes to our yard to chat, but this matter belongs to our two families and has nothing to do with him."

Jia Zheng was in a hurry, so he put the list down and went to see Jia's mother.Jiamu knew at a glance that Wang Ziteng must be hopeless.After a while, he let out a long sigh and called out, "Yuanyang, take this to your second wife."

Yuanyang stepped forward to take the order carefully, and hurriedly sent it to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang wholeheartedly thought that Mother Jia could take the rest of the money, but she was frightened and tired yesterday, so she had a good night's sleep, and now she is still drinking tea.After seeing the list, he was shocked: "Didn't you say that my brother can persuade you to go back?"

Yuanyang bowed her head and said: "Listening to the tone of the people from their family, it seems that my uncle has never persuaded Mr. Xue's family."

Mrs. Wang's hands and feet were suddenly cold.

Yuanyang didn't expect her to reply, so she saluted and left.

Not long after, this matter reached Jia She's ears, he couldn't help laughing a few times, and asked someone to call Gong Kun over.

Gong Kun rushed over immediately, first bowed to Jia Amnesty and said: "Congratulations, General, there is a serious business to do."

Jia She smiled and asked, "How do you know?"

Gong Kun said: "Lan Xiang 123 in the third master's house is very clever in romance."

Jia She nodded: "He has a very good eye for peeing." He added, "According to the temperament of the old lady and the second lady, as long as Baoyu and Nayu are in the Xue family's hands, they will not live in peace for a day. .I think there are a lot of excellent things in their private storage that are in the bottom of the box, so I have to sell them in a hurry."

Gong Kun sighed: "In the old year, the debit and credit bookkeeping method was changed, and it was easier to read the accounts, so this year I finished reconciling all kinds of account books early. I wanted to spend the new year at ease, but now I am busy again."

Jia She said with a smile, "Sir, it's hard work, how about letting you take a nap?"

Gong Kun also laughed and said: "No need, this is a student's job. I hope that the general will remember the students' hard work every year. If there are people who come later, they must remember the students."

Jia She waved his hand and said, "Forget it, who can compare to you, and still worry about this. Hurry up and discuss with those girls how to circle things."

Gong Kun understood that this cheap business was going to be reserved for Jia Cong's private treasury, so he quickly thanked him and went back with a smile.

On the other side, someone from the concierge came in and said to Baoyu, "Second Lord, a young master said he was a friend of Second Master, and wanted to invite Second Master to go out for a stroll together."

Baoyu didn't close his eyes all night last night, thinking about where the 27 yuan of silver came from, and now he was lying on the kang worried, and only asked who it was.

The man replied: "It's Mr. Huo Sheng Huo."

Baoyu immediately sat up and said with a smile, "It's him! Please come in." He called She Yue to comb her hair and tidy up, and Ming Yan.

At that moment, the porter came back again and said, "Mr. Huo said, he just waits at the door."

Baoyu hurriedly urged Sheyue to hurry up, changed her clothes and hurried out.I saw Huo Sheng wearing a white robe, standing at the gate of the mansion with a rein in his hand, supporting his horse and smiling, looking very heroic.
