The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Jia Lian walked around the courtyard several times, which made Sister Feng tease, "Did you hide the money somewhere, and I can't remember it now? Would you like to help them find it together?"

She said, she really asked Ping'er to go to the corner of the wing to check, "If you find it, I will give you half of it!"

Jia Lian's face was dark, and Su'er, who was still wandering around, caught her eyeballs, "Don't listen to her, where do I have money to hide?"

Su'er freed Jia Lian's hand, her mouth was sharp, "Second Master, don't worry, even if we find it, we won't want any of it. Naturally, half of it will be given to Second Master and half to Grandma. Absolutely fair and reasonable!"

Sister Feng smiled and said, "I don't want it. It's not easy for your second master to accumulate this money, and I don't know how much wine I drank to get it. If I want to be greedy for ink, I will be a big sin!"

So, a few of them gathered around.

Ping'er persuaded: "Second Master, if you really hide it, think about where it is, let's look carefully again?"

Su'er tilted her head and smiled, "If one day in the future we suddenly discover the unowned money, wouldn't it be cheap for us? Amitabha!"

Heng'er asked in confusion, "Why are you chanting Buddha? Can I tell you where the money is?"

Su Er said solemnly: "I'm begging the Buddha not to let me have this opportunity to make a fortune!"

Obviously, the scene of Jia Lian counting the silver yesterday could make them laugh for a long time.

Jia Lian pointed at them and said annoyed: "When your second master is rich, I ask you to move money back and forth from the east wing to the west wing every day, and I can't help laughing!"

Unexpectedly, they laughed even louder.

I only keep it in my heart, and if I find out later, I will return it to the second master quietly!

Although Jia Lian is the master, he has always been soft-spoken, gentle, and does not insult them, so he gradually became presumptuous.

Sister Feng on the side was secretly eating, and Jia Lian spoiled them, especially the charming and pretty Barbarian, and he didn't see that he was hungry and wanted to use it. The original jealous heart was relieved.

She walked to Jia Lian and asked softly, "Brother Lian, what are you looking for?"

Jia Lian looked at the yard again, "I want to build a glass-burning stove, this yard is too big, it's just..."

It's just that he didn't want to be seen by them like this, make them jealous, and don't have troubles.

Sister Feng saw his doubts in her eyes, thought for a moment, and pointed in the direction of the East Road Courtyard, "But over there?"

Jia Lian smiled and said nothing.

Sister Feng rolled up her sleeves, a few bracelets on her snow-white wrists jingling, "Why don't you just buy a house outside!"

Jia Lian hurried forward and ripped off Sister Feng's sleeve, "Feng'er said exactly what I thought! Let's buy a yard from afar, it's better to be unknowing, to save them jealousy. A lot."

Sister Feng spat: "So you made a decision early in the morning, so are you waiting for me here?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "How can it be? There are a few empty houses on the back porch, but there are many people talking."

Sister Feng looked at Jia Lian coldly, "Brother Lian, if I bought a house for you from a distance, I wouldn't be able to see it if you were fooling around outside."

"Hey!" Jia Lian was stunned, and he didn't believe in his own character!

"Xing'er!" he shouted outside, "it's the season, where have you died?"

A handsome young servant came in in response, standing with his hands crossed and his head bowed.

"Go out with Master!" Jia Lian angrily left the courtyard.

Sister Feng bit her lip in the back and twisted the handkerchief in her hand, "Why can't this person be teased? Ping'er, go over and ask, what is the second master going to do?"

Ping'er hurried out.

Sister Feng was also not at ease, and wanted to follow up by herself. When she arrived at the door, she was stopped by the daughter-in-law who came to report the incident.

.

Chapter [*] Making money is actually very easy ([*]) Let's say that Jia Lian bypassed the big shadow wall of powder oil, went west through the Xijiaomen from the sidewalk, and was planning to go through the east courtyard and exit the private lanes of the two houses.

He just got on the veranda, when a handsome young woman in her twenties just walked in front of him, wearing a deciduous yellow satin robe, a blue-white stand-up collar, and a pine-colored horse-face skirt. When he got closer, he saw her face Eryan is like a spring peach, graceful and affectionate.

Compared with Sister Feng's tenderness and tenderness, her brows and eyes are full of spring, and she has a different style, unlike Li Wan, who lives as a widow and is as cold as a tree.

Jia Lian couldn't help but take a few more glances, her face was blushing, she used a handkerchief to pretend to wipe the non-existent sweat stains on her fair neck, and said angrily: "Brother Lian, do I have flowers on my body? No wonder Good luck!" The voice sounded soft and sweet.

Jia Lian blurted out: "It's just that the elder sister-in-law is more than Hua Jiao, she lost her mind for a while, it's really Meng Lang!" There was frivolity in the words, and it really didn't look like the past.

You's crimson even more, he spat: "If you choose to fool people, how can I be more charming than your daughter-in-law?" Today, You don't know why, so she dared to joke with Jia Lian.

Jia Lian glanced at him, calmed his mind, and said, "Is the elder sister-in-law here to greet the old lady?" Then he turned sideways and made his way out.

You Shi chuckled, "Exactly!" He stepped forward and passed Jia Lian.

Jia Lian walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around and stopped You, "Sister-in-law, stay here!"

You Shi froze for a long time before turning around and smiling: "Brother Lian called me?" A heart thumped for no reason.

Jia Lian cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother has something to ask for your help!"

"What's the matter?" You Shi also replied with a smile, "Is there a need for a family?"

Jia Lian hesitated for a while, "Just a little ashamed to say it!"

You quietly stepped back a few steps and looked at him suspiciously, "Brother Lian, what's inconvenient to say? I'm going to see the old lady here!"

Jia Lian waved his hand hurriedly, "No inconvenience. Just wanted to ask, do you have a quieter house near the back street in your Dongfu?"

You Shi thought of some of his rumors, and the absurdity was the same as his husband's.

The focus is on the word secluded.

You pondered for a moment, "A house in Xiaohuazhi Lane, Erli Rongning Street, is still vacant. Your brother often said that he wanted to rent it out, but he hasn't found his next home yet."

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "Good sister-in-law, tell Brother Zhen, rent that yard to me! There's not a lot of money!"

Seeing his anxious look, You Shi smiled and said, "Brother Lian, you are just married, so what are you busy renting a house for? Don't have bad thoughts, be careful, I'll tell Feng girl to go!"

Jia Lian Shun said nonsense: "I don't know, my sister-in-law, the younger brother said in front of the old lady that he wanted to correct his past mistakes, and then the second uncle sent four books and five classics, and he planned to hang his head and pierce his shares, and study hard for a year. The reason why he was looking for a house outside , I'm not afraid of my elder sister-in-law's jokes, my sweet wife is in the hall, Yingyan is with me, I must be singing day and night, where can I read the second half of the word?"

After all, You Shi was someone from the past. Knowing that he was the easiest to change his mind at his age, he blushed and said, "It's hard for you to have this determination! You are much stronger than your brother! There is only one point, the other side is far away and no one can control you. If I don’t learn it well, recruit bandits under the guise, or even ask flowers and willows, that’s my sin.”

Jia Lian smiled and said, "You can rest assured, sister-in-law, Jia Lian has already married, and Feng'er is a stunning beauty, so why would I look at those wild flowers on the street again? This time, I will study behind closed doors, and I won't be stained with red dust!"

You Shi was upset when he heard what he said, and responded casually: "If that's the case, I'll order the key to be delivered to you."

Jia Lian gave her a long bow: "If I hadn't met my eldest sister-in-law today, I still don't know what to do! Thank you very much!"

You Shi hurriedly avoided, "What is it worth? I just hope that you will be named on the gold list next year, so that we can win some glory for our family!"

Jia Lian took out a one-hundred tael meeting ticket from his arms, "Sister-in-law, this is three months' rent, you can take it first."

How can Youshi want it?He quickly postponed it: "It's all a family, I'll see you if you give this! If your big brother Jane finds out, you will say that my small family is short-sighted, and I will be wronged for nothing."

Jia Lian naturally heard the rumors in the East Mansion. You're such a beautiful and lovely person married Jia Zhen for only three or five years to fill in the house. At the beginning, she was very affectionate. Unfortunately, Jia Zhen has always been ridiculous, like the new and hate the old, and it didn't take long. Leaving it behind and offering her as a bodhisattva in the face, in fact, he didn't care about it for a long time, and only cared about his own wandering and happiness.

You's family was not obvious, and she couldn't stand her waist, so she had to let Jia Zhen rub it, saying that she was a gourd with a sawed mouth.

The outside is bright and beautiful, but there are actually sufferings. Who knows what matters?

She is also a poor person!

Jia Lian stepped forward and grabbed You Shi's hand and put the ticket in her palm, "Sister-in-law, just tell Brother Zhen what you want me to use, there is no money at all."

Yu Shi still refused.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Take it, be obedient!"

You Shi was in a trance for a while, what does it mean to be obedient?

By the time she reacted, Jia Lian had gone far.

You Shi held the meeting ticket, blushing on his face, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He only said a couple of jokes in front of the old lady and hurried back.

Jia Zhen is not in Ningfu as usual.

You Shi made his own decision and asked the servant to give the key to Jia Lian.

There are more than [*] houses in this house.Jia Lian cleaned up the middle yard, and spent one hundred taels in the market to buy five honest and skilled craftsmen, who moved brick and stone materials one after another to build the glass furnace.

But if this thing has no experience and technology, it can't be fiddled with casually!

Fortunately, two of the craftsmen have burned the kiln, and according to Jia Lian's drawings, they bumped into the kiln.

Among them, Jia Lian did it himself, and even knocked it down and started all over again.

The days went by like this, Jia Lian went out early and returned late every day, and others didn't mind, just thought he went to drink and watch the play again.

But since Jia Lian went out that day, she borrowed a yard from the elder sister-in-law within a few steps. Ping'er still saw Jia Lian and the elder sister-in-law chatting from a distance, so she was always angry, and went home to speak coldly to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian's mind was full of glass kilns and glass pieces at the moment, and he didn't have time to chat with her. He threw Ping'er four out, then threw her on the bed and taught her a lesson.

It was not until she was exhausted physically and mentally that she returned to the camp.

How could Sister Feng be so persuasive?

However, Jia Lian is also stubborn, once he fails to come twice, two times fails to come three times, and three times fails to come four times.

When Sister Feng shook her legs and said, "Good brother, Feng'er has taken it!", good news finally came from Xiaohuazhixiang.

It's been a month now.

.

Chapter [*] Making money is actually very easy ([*]) Jia Lian hurried to the courtyard of Xiaohuazhixiang.

In the middle of the yard is a glass crucible kiln several meters high, which is connected to the float tin bath. The furnace and the tin bath are each equipped with a blower. In the past is the annealing kiln and a long asbestos roller table.

At this time, a fire had already started in the kiln, and the two smashed the processed raw materials such as quartz sand, soda ash, dolomite, limestone, feldspar, mirabilite, carbon powder, etc., and poured them into the furnace from the feeding port.

"Have you tried the kiln?" Jia Lian stared nervously at the kiln, checking it carefully, for fear that any crack would be a waste.

"If you return to the master, we have already tried it. After three days of burning the kiln, we dared to put the material into it, and dare not miss the important event of the master!" A man with a face of vicissitudes beside Jia Lian bowed.

He was a craftsman bought by Jia Lian, and his name was Jia Yi.Jia Lian saw that his temperament was prudent, that is, a tendon, and the things he explained were strict, and he would never turn around, so he asked him to be in charge.

The other four, Jia Er, Jia San, Jia Si, and Jia Wu are each responsible for scrap, furnace, blast, cutting, division of labor and cooperation, and their responsibilities are clear.

While adding coke, Jia San checked the situation inside from the small window on the furnace. From time to time, he pumped the fan, and the temperature of the furnace rose rapidly.

Jia Lian retreated to the steps of the wing, fanned the wind with his sleeves, and asked, "In what proportion are the ingredients mixed?"

Jia Er hurriedly came over and said, "It's made according to the size A."

Jia Lian arranges the ingredients that he can remember with A, B, C, and D. Only after experimenting one by one can he choose the best ratio.
