The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

The streamer is translucent, and it is no different from the tribute of the West.

As a result, the glass kang screens, large mirrors, and glass painting screens produced by Xiaohuazhixiang every day are out of stock before the middle of the day.It's just that none of the original items in the store have been sold!

Jia Lian was thinking about the heavy silver in his hand, and finally let out a sullen breath!

He put the [*] taels of membership tickets into Sister Feng's hands, "You count, one tael less, I'll pay one hundred taels!"

When Sister Feng saw Jia Lian leaning on the table with her feet raised, she asked Ping'er to pour tea, and again asked Man'er to beat her legs, and hummed an unknown little song. When the phoenix was long and the phoenix was short, now they are shouting and drinking, they are not as good as they can see!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "What's this? I'm just trying a knife, you will be surprised in the future!"

Sister Feng sneered: "Hmph, the villain is successful!" Sitting on the kang, "Eldest sister-in-law has given me a letter today." After speaking, she stopped and looked at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian now has income, and the shop is also sold, and the original purpose has long been achieved.As for whether Jia Jijiu agrees with the previous suggestion, it doesn't matter.

He asked casually, "What did Mr. Jia say?"

Sister Feng held back her smile, "Master Jia happily agreed!"

"Huh?" Jia Lian felt a little puzzled, "This is not like his old man's cautious character. Could it be a fraud?"

Sister Feng spat: "Master Jia's generation of Wenzong, how could he lie to you? Naturally, he agreed. There is only one thing, he said, since you are also a student of Guozijian, you don't study hard, and you play with some crooked ways and strange skills. It’s a shame for the saint. If you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and pass his assessment, it’s okay to have a few requirements!”

Jia Lian frowned, "What's the difference between this and rejection?"

He immediately retreated, joking. With his current level, let Jia Shouzhong take the assessment, wouldn't he be asking himself for fun?

"Forget it, I'm afraid that the old man will be too busy with his housework, so I won't disturb him!"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Brother Lian, I'm afraid it's too late! The elder sister-in-law has already told the second master about this. Although he doesn't know that you made the glass, he also knows your self-improvement and can't bear to blow your mind. I wanted to. I wrote a book to Master Jia myself, and the other person didn't know what to say, but just praised you for your study and progress, especially please Master Jia, I want to nurture you well!"

The cold sweat on Jia Lian's forehead immediately came out.

At the beginning, any excuse made more and more troubles.

"Man'er, where's the book the second uncle gave me? Quickly bring it over and I'll look through it!"

Man'er was stunned for a while, where are those two books?

Ping'er smiled and said, "It's still under the stove for a while, I don't know if it's burning?"

While smiling, Wang Shanbao's house came in and said that it was the master who invited him!

Wang Shanbao's narrow eyes and thin mouth make people uncomfortable to look at.

Jia Lian asked, "What's the matter with me, Master?"

As soon as Wang Shanbao's family came in, he caught a glimpse of the votes still on the table, and said with a laugh, "It's not a big deal. My lord knows that my brother has made money, so just ask."

Sister Feng asked Ping'er to put away the tickets and squinted at her.

Wang Shanbao's family thought that Mrs. Xing was accompanying her in the room, but she didn't take Sister Feng seriously.

Jia Lian sneered, "This news spreads fast!"

He followed him to the main room of the East Road Courtyard, and before he could stand firm, Jia She smashed the tea cup heavily on the table.

"Nizi, you are selling glass without telling me! Is there still me in your eyes?"

His gray beard stood up one by one, as if Jia Lian had done something terribly wrong.

Jia Lian smiled calmly and said, "Why did you say this? My son was approved by you at the beginning, so I don't dare to communicate with others in private for personal gain!"

Jia She snorted coldly, "Tell me, what's the matter with this glass? If Feng Ziying hadn't come to talk about it with me today, I'd still be in the dark, what a bastard! Do you still think I'm your father?"

Jia Lianping received another reprimand from him, but still patiently explained to him: "Master, this glass is just a partnership, my son knows a lot of people, so he is responsible for running errands on weekdays, making referrals to middlemen, and earning some hard money every month. !"

Speak honestly, like the real thing.

Jia She sneered: "Don't think I don't know, this shop is in your name now! When will you lie to me?"

Jia Lian believes that he has done enough secretive work, but who knows that he is simply trying to hide it in front of interested people.

He quickly called out and explained: "Master, you are right, now this shop is under my name, in order to borrow my name for the benefit of the family. Otherwise, where would I have the money and money to do it? to that much glass?"

Jia She twitched her beard, "What are you telling the truth?"

Jia Lian lowered his hand and replied, "Master, everything my son said is true!"

Jia She asked again, "Then how much money did they give you?"

Jia Lian stretched out two fingers, "Two hundred and two months."

Jia She's expression changed immediately, and she scolded: "It's really a fool who doesn't learn well! What can you do in two hundred and two months? Go, call the shopkeeper over, and I will talk to him in person! How can I borrow the name of Rongguo Mansion? So contemptible? This time, he must be paid a thousand taels!"

Jia Lian looked down on Jia She more and more, but because of his ethics, it was inconvenient to dismiss him, and persuaded: "Master, this thing is their own, and my son has nothing to do. Two hundred taels is enough. To ask for a thousand taels, it seems that we are too…”

"Too much?" Jia She shouted: "You have hard wings, how dare you teach me a lesson? Kneel down!"

Jia Lian was still holding on, as if he didn't hear it.

So Jia She was even more angry. He shouted and scolded: "Don't you dare not listen to what I say? Nizi, Nizi! Come on, hold down and beat me!"

The servant next to him was about to come up and twist Jia Lian.

Jia Lian shouted them back, bowed to Jia She and said: "Master, you are going to be punished today, and my son dare not refuse to resist. It's just that my son wants to ask you to think about whether the reputation of our Rongguo Mansion is more important or not. Is money important?"

Jia She sneered, "How old are you? It's not your turn to worry about the reputation of Rongguo!"

Jia Lian held back the fire and had nowhere to vent.

Jia She shouted to the servants, "Why, are you all deaf?"

A few servants said to Jia Lian in embarrassment: "Second Master, there is nothing for the younger ones. Would you like to lie down on your own?"

On one side, someone brought a bench and waited with two wooden sticks.

.

Chapter [*] The trouble caused by making money ([*]) Jia Lian can't escape this fight.

At this time, Mrs. Xing drank the servant and persuaded: "Master, you too, the children are so old, how can you still fight like when you were a child? Brother Lian is also sensible, when did you disobey the master? ?"

She turned her head and said to Jia Lian with a smile: "Is it Brother Lian? Your father has worked hard to manage the family. The road he has traveled is much better than the bridge you have crossed. Doesn't he know more about the businessmen than you do? Acts? These people are the most unprofitable and can't afford early. With only two hundred taels of silver, they dare to say to the outside that they are sheltering in our house. When something went wrong, they put their heads in the tortoise shell, and all the charges fell on us. So, you are still young, and you don’t know that people are sinister, whether your father wants them a thousand taels or benevolent. I don’t know if they are five feet square. You dare to sell a thousand taels for a glass screen. Isn’t the face of our Rongguo Mansion worth even such a screen?”

Mrs. Xing's thinking was clear, and if she really did what she said, it would not be unreasonable.

But no matter how many reasons are involved, it cannot hide their greedy intentions.

Jia Lian replied: "My wife's lesson is! It's just a way of cooperation, and there is a way of taking shelter. If those people really do bad things in our name, then we must also consider whether they can withstand our retaliation. . As long as sensible businessmen will not break the existing rules, this will be good for us and them. Besides, my son chose them after many considerations, and I believe they will not do anything treachery..."

Jia She sneered: "Ignorance! Trust this kind of thing can't stand the test! I want them [*] taels today, that's because I look down on them. Can they still give it? You tell them, if you annoy me, I will You can ask people to smash his shop to a pulp! Then, hum! What I can't get, others will never get it!"

"Master..." Jia Lian wanted to persuade him.

But Jia She never listened, "Shut up! This matter is settled. Tomorrow I will see this month's [*] taels of silver."

Jia Lian was delighted by Jia She.

Fortunately, he changed his pretense and didn't let Jia She know that the glass was made by him. Otherwise, Jia She would have served the pot right and left, and even the scum would not have been left for him.

"Master, do you have to force people to go bankrupt? They have been trafficked from the West all the way, and only they know the dangers. We can't go too far."

"Humph!" Jia She sat on the chair and sneered, "I can see that you have made up your mind to refuse. That's okay, I'll find their shopkeeper myself."

Mrs. Xing walked up to Jia Lian, "Brother Lian, it's not like you don't know your master's temperament. Why bother your father for an irrelevant person? It's not you who suffer in the end? Stop being self-willed!"

She pulled Jia Lian's sleeve and said with a smile: "Listen to my words, admit your mistake to the master, and this matter will be over. What's more, what is a thousand taels of silver to their maritime merchants? Brother Lian Don't underestimate them, you are deceived. I heard that what they do is a huge profit of a few hundred cents, and often things that are only worth a few pennies in place, after passing through their hands, they dare to sell hundreds of taels! It's heart-wrenching. We didn't arrest them by the police, that's good-hearted, but it's absolutely not worthy of sympathy."

The couple sang and reconciled, one with a red face and the other with a white face, and they would not give up until their goals were achieved.

Seeing that Jia Lian couldn't make any sense, Jia She lost her patience and scolded, "You bastard! Why don't you give it to me?"

Jia Lian's good temper was almost gone at the moment, and he couldn't help but say: "Master, your son must reject you, it's really master, your actions are too disgusting. As the saying goes, a gentleman loves you. Wealth can be obtained in a proper way. We are dignified and honored by the state, our great-grandfather and grandfather have two generations of grandfathers and grandfathers. What kind of honor is this? Even if we are descendants, even if we cannot add glory and virtue, we should not damage the name of our ancestors. What would your grandfather do if he found out about you being so bullying and stealing?"

Jia She didn't expect that Jia Lian would really dare to contradict him, and he said that he was so unbearable, stabbed his sore spot, and suddenly became angry, and threw the kiln cover cup in his hand to the ground, "It's the other way around! It's the other way around! How did Lao Tzu give birth to a beast like you, you wicked obstacle? Hit me, hit me to death!"

Jia She also thought the servant was slow, grabbed a wooden stick, took a few steps forward, and hit Jia Lian fiercely.

Jia Lian heard the sound of the wind and hurriedly dodged.

The wooden stick slammed on the chair beside him, and with a bang, the armrest of the golden nanmu was broken.

Jia She saw that a single blow could not be made, and waved the wooden stick again.

There is a way of accepting a small stick and walking with a large stick. Naturally, Jia Lian can't sit still and walk around the house.

After all, Jia She was old and frail. Recently, he took in a concubine, and his body was hollowed out. After only two steps, he couldn't run.

"You...give me...stand...stop!" He was leaning on a wooden stick, panting, seeing Jia Lian in front of him, but he couldn't hit him.

"Master, what my son said came from the bottom of my heart. If you killed me today, I will tell the old man to go!" Jia Lian said decisively.

But these words were like adding fuel to the fire, Jia She was furious, and smashed the hall with a wooden stick.

Madam Xing was anxiously chasing her and shouting, "Master, calm down! Be careful!"

There was such a big commotion in the East Road Courtyard, which disturbed the old lady, the master and the wife here.

The old lady hurriedly asked Yuanyang to come over to ask, knowing that their father and son were angry again, and the little girl also came back and said that the eldest master was going to chain the second master.She lost her mind now, and scolded: "It's not a worry."

I wanted to go and see what they were up to, but in the green gauze cabinet, a little boy with pink makeup and jade cut around the neck of a maid from behind, sniffed behind her ear, "Sister Pearl, what kind of fragrance are you wiping? Does it smell so good?"

Pearl picked him up and made him sit next to her, "Second Master Bao, let's talk, it's not allowed to do this again."

Baoyu held the pearly white greasy hand, still sticking to her like a twist of candy.

Pearl pushed him away.However, the force was a little harder, but Baoyu couldn't sit still and fell off the edge of the kang.

Fortunately, Pearl pulled it in time and only knocked on the forehead.

The old lady listened to Baoyu's voice inside, and went in to check it, but she put Jia Lian's affairs aside.

Chapter [*] The more you earn, the more trouble ([*]) In the small main room in the east corridor of the Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng is sitting on the kang with a book on the east wall, facing the west. A kang table is set horizontally, and books and tea sets are placed on the table.Mrs. Wang was sitting on the west side, also sitting on a half-old blue satin backrest.

After they heard Jin Chuan'er's report, Mrs. Wang thought for a while, and smiled, "Master, which one is singing in that courtyard?"

Jia Zheng stroked his beard and sighed for a long time: "It is inconvenient for us to interfere in this matter."

Lao Tzu teaches his son, it is just and righteous, what can others say?

Besides, the eldest brother was dissatisfied with this side for a long time, and he tried to persuade him in the past, but I was afraid that it would backfire. Instead of saving Brother Lian, he would be beaten even more severely.
