[Red Mansion] Hairpins fly when they are

Jia Yucun bought rice from Xue's shop as soon as he said it. Xue Pan felt that it was his turn to make a statement, so he cleared his throat and said proudly: "Whether you buy or not, it is a family. Just take it."

"Hey, that's not okay." Jia Yucun said seriously, "Open the door to do business, if all relatives and relatives come to take it for nothing, how can it continue?"

"Hey." Xue Pan grinned stupidly, "You are my brother-in-law, how can you be the same as others?"

"Rice is something you eat every day. Those who are dear to you, if you take it once or twice, can you still spend your whole life for nothing?" Mrs. Song smiled and shook her head, "We say that buying is buying, if you don't accept money, then we I had to go elsewhere."

When Baochai heard this, she said to Xue Pan with a smile, "Brother, why don't you give me a discount, which is cheaper than other houses, so that the shop can continue to operate, and the family can eat cheap rice."

Xue Pan blinked, unable to believe that Baochai said such a thing.

Before going out, Mrs. Xue told him to be polite in Jia's house and not to talk nonsense.Jia Yucun's great kindness to their family, Xue Pan, is in his heart. What about the rice that will feed the Jia family for a lifetime? Compared with the kindness, it is not worth mentioning.

What's more, he acted more generously to show face to his younger sister, so why did his younger sister tear him down instead?

Mrs. Xue is not as stupid as her son. She knows that Mrs. Song and Jia Yucun are not people who like to take advantage of small things. If they insist on letting them get it for nothing, I am afraid that the gift from them will be more expensive than rice. It is better to be like Baochai. As I said, giving in to each other is beneficial to each other, and the relationship is getting closer.

Mrs. Xue nodded towards her silly son: "Then listen to your sister."

"Hey." Xue Pan laughed twice, lowered his head and drank his tea.

Jia Yucun: "In the future, when mother-in-law needs to make clothes, just go to my shop to get materials, and don't go to other houses to waste money."

Mrs. Xue asked him very seriously: "Do you accept money? If I accept it, I will go, if not, I will not go."

The old lady Song laughed loudly: "It's two different things. He is a junior and you are an elder. He should be filial to you."

Xue waved his hands again and again, refusing to agree.If she took advantage of this, it would be difficult for Baochai to behave in her in-law's house in the future.

Fan Jiaoxing remained silent, watching with cold eyes, expressionless.

Jia Yucun only sat with him for a short while, then got up and apologized: "Mother-in-law and uncle sit down first, and stay for lunch at noon. I have something to do outside, so I can't accompany you."

Xue got up immediately: "Go and do your work quickly, don't worry about us."

Jia Yucun looked at Baochai again. Last night, she agreed to send her back to her natal home today. Now that Mrs. Xue and Xue Pan are here, Baochai naturally doesn't have to go out.

Baochai understood the look in his eyes, and Fufu said, "Master, go slowly."

Jia Yucun smiled at her and went outside. Seeing that Baochai had no intention of seeing the old man out, Fan Jiaoxing immediately seized this rare opportunity and hurriedly said to the old lady: "I'll go see the old man off." Master." Then he drove Jia Yucun out.

Baochai stayed to talk with the others. After chatting for a while, Mrs. Song got tired and wanted to go back to sleep, so she said to Mrs. Xue: "Even if you move out, our two families should come and go often. I don’t know how much I’ve been looking forward to you these days, so I just want to talk to you. You haven’t seen Baochai for a few days, why don’t you go and sit with her, don’t rush to leave, you must stay at noon Meal."

Baochai knew the habit of Mrs. Song, and usually had to catch up on sleep after breakfast, so she hurried to help the old lady, and Mrs. Xue also stepped forward to help the other side, and together they sent Mrs. Song into the inner room to wait on her. lie down.

Mrs. Xue: "The old lady has a good rest. I'm going to sit in Baochai's room."

The old lady Song nodded, took Baochai's hand again, and said: "Be with your mother well, and don't let her go. I only sleep for a while and I will get up. I won't see anyone by then." You have to pay me."

This slightly childish remark made everyone laugh.

After the old lady had settled down, Baochai led his mother and elder brother back to the west chamber. Yinger and Hongjin were busy serving tea, and all kinds of snacks filled the whole table.

"If Mother came later, she might have missed me on the way." Baochai smiled, "Master planned to send me back to my mother's house today."

"Oh, it's a good thing we left early." Xue patted her chest happily, "The shop will open tomorrow, one is to give you some things from the shop to try, and the other is that I miss you too."

"I also miss my mother and brother. I'm fine here, so don't worry about me."

Xue Pan's gaze unobtrusively scanned all parts of the house. Although it can't compare with the living conditions in Rongguo Mansion, it's still pretty good.

He chuckled twice: "Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law is quite distressed, knowing that I often send you back to your mother's house to have a look."

"You are as stupid as you are when you are a son-in-law." Xue Shi glared at him. Although she was cursing, there was a little bit of love in her eyes. She turned to Baochai again and complained, "You don't know Your brother is so annoying, Xiangling is now your serious sister-in-law, and she has found her mother's family again, I promised her at the beginning, if her mother is willing, she will take over and live with us."

"Well, what then?" Baochai listened carefully.

"I just don't know what's going on over there. I thought I'd write a letter first, and send it along with a backup gift. Ask your brother to write a letter. The words he wrote are really unrecognizable. In the end, Xiangling proposed it himself." Written with a pen."

"Hey, isn't what Xiangling wrote is the same as what I wrote? Mother, why bother to be so clear." Xue Pan smirked, without any shame, with a very calm expression.

Baochai didn't notice, and waved a handkerchief in front of Xue Pan, interrupting his trademark smirk: "Brother, it's time to practice calligraphy, there is always a time to write notes in the shop, when the time comes, your handwriting It’s not as good as the shopkeeper’s writing, how embarrassing it is.”

Baochai still doesn't know that Xue Pan's character is ugly, and if he doesn't dig such a good hole, he won't dig it for nothing. Besides looking at the shop, he is worried about what excuse he can use to keep this troublemaker at home.

Writing is good. If you write a lot, your heart will be at peace, lest he go back to his old ways and go out to spend time and drink again, causing trouble.

"You don't need to write too much, just five big characters every day." Baochai ordered.

Xue Pan suddenly had a bitter face, and said aggrievedly: "Are you my sister or husband? You treat me like a child in the school."

"It's a good idea, the children in the school have more knowledge than you." Baochai's tone was cold, "I'll tell you, I will only help you this once, and whether it is good or bad in the future will be up to you." It’s up to you. Well, you make your own money, and I don’t give you half a copper coin. If it’s broken, don’t beg me again, we are brothers and sisters, so don’t come to my house even if you beg for food.”

Baochai told Mrs. Xue that buying a house and shop and the 1000 taels were all given away free of charge, but I don't know if Mrs. Xue told Xue Pan this.

It's not that Baochai looked down on him, but with Xue Pan's qualifications, let him earn more than 1000 taels to pay him back, I'm afraid he will have to wait until his next life.

But she didn't want Xue Pan to be too carefree. He always thought of having his younger sister as the backing, acting without any scruples. When he swells, he tends to be light and light. No matter how high he flies, he has a younger sister anyway.

When it got to that point, Baochai didn't save him, but sent him directly to the west.

Baochai's words were too cold, and Xue opened her mouth slightly, looking at the two brothers and sisters uneasily.

Xue Pan was really shocked.

From childhood to adulthood, my younger sister was the smartest one in the family. Even though he later inherited all the shops in the family, it was always my younger sister who made suggestions behind every major event.

For so many years, Xue Pan has already formed a fixed mindset - obeying his sister's advice.

He listened to Baochai's words more than Xue Shi's, because Xue Shi doted on his only son very much, and almost responded to every request, and was never willing to scold him.

But Baochai is different. When it should be said, it should be said, and when it should be taught, it should be taught.

Although Xue Pan is not smart, he still has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Baochai is the most intelligent and profitable one in the family. It really annoys her. If her shop cannot be opened in the future, Baochai will not help her. He is gone, are you going to take Niang and Xiangling to the street to beg for food?

Terrible, really terrible!

In Xue Pan's mind, begging for food is a more terrifying thing than going to jail. After all, there is still a bowl of rice and a bed for him to sleep in.

He no longer dared to put on a bitter face, and flattered Baochai with a smile: "Sister, my good sister, brother must do a good job this time, but you also know that I can't come up with any good ideas with my brain. I will listen to you." Yes, keep an eye on the shop honestly, write five big characters every day, if in case... in case the shop cannot continue to open..."

"Why can't it continue?" Baochai was very satisfied, and calmly analyzed with him, "When I decided to open the rice shop, the master went to see it. No one in the next two streets is doing this business. I don't ask for it." If you make great achievements, as long as you grab the customers from these two streets, the money you make will be enough for you to live a normal life."

"Yes, listen to your sister."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the brothers and sisters had improved, Mrs. Xue rushed to answer the conversation, fearing that Xue Pan would open his mouth indiscriminately and annoy his daughter, so he hurriedly asked Baochai if he would come to open tomorrow.

Where Baochai could go out casually, he had to ask Jia Yucun for instructions first: "When the master comes back at night, I will discuss it with him. Don't have too much hope, mother. If you can go, I will definitely go."

Mrs. Xue also knew that her daughter was married, and there were many things that she could not decide on her own, so she didn't bother about it, and brought up the business: "The shop is all decorated, and I just wait for it to open tomorrow. I hope everything will go smoothly. God will reward you more It’s enough for the few of us to pay for food.”

Mrs. Xue knew how much her son weighed, and wanted to play the pity card, saying it was very pitiful. Baochai didn't even look at her, and asked Xue Pan directly: "Tomorrow, the new business will open, what activities are you planning to hold?"

Xue Pan was taken aback for a moment, and said stupidly: "Everything is placed, the real price is clearly marked, how much you buy, weigh how much, what else do you want to do?"

Sure enough, he was a fool, with no business sense at all. Baochai sighed, and pointed him patiently: "Everyone likes to go to a fixed shop to buy things. You are a newly opened shop. Why should people help you? Let's not talk about it." Whether the quality of the rice is good or not, and the price is exactly the same, they must be more inclined to buy it from familiar shops. If you don’t give me some sweets, why would someone come to your door?”

"Sweetness? I still want it." Xue Pan was confident and confident. Isn't the purpose of opening a shop to make money?If he can't make money, his sister will sever ties with him!

"Brother." Baochai wanted to roll her eyes, "For example, in the first three days of opening, if you buy enough money, you can get a small discount, or you can get a few handfuls of beans as extras if you buy rice. A small profit can't hurt the root cause, but many people can't resist this kind of small gain. If you come and go again and again, doesn't the shop leave a deep impression on people?"

Then, Baochai explained with examples in detail, and Xue Pan finally understood, nodded repeatedly: "Then I will go back in the afternoon to think about it and discuss it with the shopkeeper."

Seeing Baochai teaching Xue Pan slowly, Mrs. Xue couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no matter how harsh her daughter said, she still missed her brother in her heart.

Brother and sister should be like this, helping each other to live, Xue took a sip of tea with a smile, feeling that the tea was sweet.
