One hundred and twelve, hide from yourself
It's just that Baoyu became more and more uncomfortable when she heard such words of fame and fortune, Wang Xifeng saw Baoyu's appearance, smiled, and changed the topic: "What are you two talking about here?" But also tell me, by the way, Brother Bao, I just came in outside, as if I heard Zijuan looking for you. ”
Zijuan is the maid sent by Rongguo Mansion to Lin Daiyu, Zijuan wants to find Baoyu, naturally Lin Daiyu wants to find Baoyu, so Baoyu hurriedly got up and walked out, Wang Xifeng smiled at Baochai: "My sister just came, I'm afraid I don't know the temper of this brother Bao, he is the most unpleasant to listen to these words of fame and fortune, this is fortunately, it is in front of you, and I am still impatient to listen to a sentence or two, if it is someone else, I will go straight away and ignore people, and I am not afraid that other people's faces will not be able to get by." ”
Baochai smiled: "I listen to Sister Feng, I won't say anything in the future." ”
"It's just that that words are indeed a bit interesting," Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "Baoyu is only a few years old, and there are some who don't understand the truth." ”
The two of them came out together and went to the side room where Mrs. Wang lived, and Aunt Xue said, "When do you have to go back to Wang's house to take a look." ”
"Very yes," Wang Xifeng said, "The second uncle has just been appointed to a foreign office, and the family is afraid that it is a lot empty, if my aunt and cousins can go, it is good to walk around more, my eldest brother has nothing to do at home, and it is good for my aunt to go and see him, and persuade him." ”
"What," Aunt Xue smiled, "didn't your second uncle send him an errand?" ”
"My brother, I'm afraid it's not worthy of carrying shoes for my cousin," Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "I eat and drink at home every day, and I don't do anything at all, and when the second uncle is there, I am still a little scared, I don't dare to do whatever I want, and the second uncle goes out of Beijing, I'm afraid it will be a trouble." ”
Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang chattered about what gifts to bring to the family, Wang Xifeng saw that Mrs. Wang had no other instructions, so she took Baochai's hand and walked outside together, she said to Baochai, "When you get to the house, are you still adapting?" The minions here are the most decent, ordinary people can't submit to it, if anyone dares to rely on the old face of the third or fourth generation to disrespect the aunt, you just have to come and tell me. ”
"The words there," Baochai said with a smile, "The people in the house are all excellent, and the good accommodation in the past few days has made Sister Feng worry." ”
"You can't say that, my aunt is a good person, and if there is something bad about everything, she will definitely not say it, but if you don't say it, they will become more and more proud."
Wang Xifeng said this, and Baochai agreed, "Sister Feifeng is so bothered." ”
"There's nothing to worry about," Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "I heard that you brought a girl back there, so good that you almost covered all the maids in the house?" But really? If so, we'll have to take a look. ”
So the two joined hands and went to Lixiangyuan together, Xue Pan was checking the things brought from Jinling, heard that Wang Xifeng had arrived, and hurriedly came out, and when he arrived at the main courtyard, he saw Wang Xifeng holding Xiangling's hand and looking at it carefully, and asked some words, what is his name, how old is it, where he came, Xiangling just couldn't remember clearly, Wang Xifeng sighed, raised his head and saw Xue Pan coming, "Brother Xue, it's really good luck, you can get a big beauty back when you go out for a stroll, I look at this girl's appearance," Wang Xifeng smiled, "It's a bit like the character of Grandma Xiaorong of Dongfu."
Grandma Xiaorong? Isn't that Qin Keqing, the number one beauty in the Dream of Red Mansions? Xue Pan raised his eyebrows, "Cousin has won the award, please sit down." ”
"Is this yard still comfortable?" Wang Xifeng asked, "It's not too big, but it's still quite exquisite, if my cousin has a large population here, and there is a small courtyard with five rooms in the back, it will be okay to vacate it." ”
Lixiangyuan is the former Rongguo Gong twilight pension place, although not too big, count up to more than ten rooms, but everywhere exquisite, suitable for living, and there is another corner door open to the street outside, if the Xue family wants to go in and out, it is also convenient, Xue Pan heard Wang Xifeng say so, and also said: "But don't bother, although the population has brought a lot, but most of them are arranged to the ticket number and shops, there is no need for too many people here, what people come and go every day, I go straight out." ”
"Yo, I thought my aunt was taking care of the family's business, but I didn't expect my cousin to do it himself?" Wang Xifeng's eyes flowed, and he looked at Xue Pan thoughtfully, "It's really a hero out of a young man." ”
"That's it, that's it, this can't be praised," Xue Pan smiled, "It's just to catch ducks on the shelves." ”
"I heard that my previous cousin did a good job of salt introduction, but I don't know how much money he made?" Wang Xifeng smiled, "Don't blame my cousin for being long-winded. ”
"I don't have much silver," Xue Pan said lightly, "It's nothing more than helping Aunt Lin take care of the salt introduction and reform faction, I didn't take much salt myself, but the big guy gave face, and he was not stingy, but he took a lot of benefits." ”
Wang Xifeng saw that Xue Pan was reluctant to elaborate, so he changed the topic, "Your second brother Lian said a few days ago that he wanted to invite you to eat and drink and thank you well. ”
"That's a good feeling," Xue Pan said with a smile, "I also want to thank my cousin for having prepared such a yard for us." ”
"Your own family is polite."
Wang Xifeng is a busy person in the end, just as he was talking, there were people who came one after another to tell him about the matter, Wang Xifeng was not empty, he came like a whirlwind, and left like a whirlwind, Wang Xifeng said this, Xue Pan seemed to remember something, and instructed Yang Zhi on the side: "Ask Grandpa Zhang, over there in the account room, has Jia Lian's salt been collected from the silver?" ”
Yang Zhi went out to ask, and after a while, he came back and said: "Grandpa Zhang said that he received a deposit last time, and he won't accept it after that, and he thought that the uncle knew about it." ”
Xue Pan paused, "What a second Jia and a good second master!" The white wolf in my empty gloves is here! "The one hundred and fifty pieces of salt that Jia Lian gave to him can be sold for at least 100,000 taels of silver on the market, and Jia Lian gave 1,500 taels of silver, so he thought about swallowing the one hundred and fifty pieces of salt? No wonder in the past few days, all kinds of characters in Jiafu have been seen, but they have not seen this second master Lian who helps with housework, "Okay, you are still avoiding me now." ”
Xiangling asked Xue Pan why he was angry, Xue Pan smiled, "Someone is avoiding me, afraid that I will ask for money, but it's okay, I'm very thick-skinned, he doesn't say it, I still have to ask him for it." ”
