Yang Kang was reborn to Lin Mansion

Chapter 17

Bei Yuan looked at Liu Si with a rather serious expression. After thinking for a while, he said, "My father has been appreciated by the Holy Majesty, and his official career has been smoother these years. It's just that my father always thinks that I am young, and I don't know about these official affairs." Bei Yuan wiped the corners of his eyes slightly with his cuff buttons and continued, "I'm ashamed to say that my father is busy all day long, and I, as a son, can't always be by his side. I really..." Bei Yuan burst into tears as he spoke .

Liu Si originally had the mentality of giving it a try. Seeing that Bei Yuan was like this, why would he ask any more questions? He had no choice but to comfort Bei Yuan, saying: "Master Lin bows to the essence, and the imperial court will never forget it. After the filial piety , there will be great wealth.”

Hearing this, Beiyuan turned angry, pointed at Liu Si and said, "What kind of person does Si Ye think I am? Although I was born into a family and I was spoiled, but since I was a child, I have determined that a man should make contributions by himself. , create something, this kind of riches and honors relying on the shadow of my father is really not my Lin family's style."

Liu Si saw that Bei Yuan was young, and he was handsome and weak, but he did not expect him to have such a heart, and immediately admired him very much. He pulled Bei Yuan and said, "Bei Yuan has such great ambitions, I should wish you success." , but I don’t know if Beiyuan is willing to make me this friend.”

Bei Yuan said: "Fourth Master has a noble status, I'm afraid I can't afford this friend."

Liu Si pinched Bei Yuan's hand and said, "You're talking about me. Since the first time you met me, you haven't respected me, and you're talking nonsense."

Bei Yuan pulled out his hand and said, "Bei Yuan was so abrupt, I didn't know it was you, fourth master."

Liu Si looked at the hand that Beiyuan took back, and said: "You can talk, I like people like you the most, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

When Beiyuan heard this, he naturally knew that he was leaving, so he stood up and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, Fourth Master, Beiyuan should be grateful."

Liu Si looked at Beiyuan, he pretended not to understand, but he couldn't tell, so he just said: "Then you will find me in the future, go to Hengji, every time I go out of the palace, I will naturally sit there sit."

Bei Yuan said: "That's natural."

Seeing that Bei Yuan didn't try to stay at all, Liu Si just left the house.

Lin Beiyuan sent Liu Si to the door, watched him get into a carriage and then returned to the house, saw no one took out a half-old booklet from the bookshelf, the red cover showed that it was "The Romance of the West Chamber" and turned it over to find out it was actually an account book.

Bei Yuan smiled secretly, this Liu Si looked shrewd, but in fact he was nothing more than that, since he already suspected himself, why did he back down halfway, it's just that it's really not the right time to take out the account book now, because the people involved are too sensitive.

This year's test, Beiyuan was unable to participate. Daiyu was relieved to see that Beiyuan was not sad. This younger brother has been like an adult since he was a child. I was really afraid that he would take everything to heart, which would be bad. Well, I also went to meet some classmates who will take the exam.

After the palace examination three days later, when the No. 50 Scholar Tanhua paraded through the streets, Liu Si asked Beiyuan to sit on the Hengji Building to watch. Except for the second place who was a young man in his twenties, the No. [-] Scholar and Tanhua were both in their [-]s and [-]s. middle-aged man.Liu Si said with a smile: "Father originally intended to choose a son-in-law, how could he know that all three of them have wives and children, and Tanhua even has two grandsons."

Beiyuan said: "One hundred kinds of rice raises one hundred kinds of people, and they must have spent a lot of effort to get it right, and they are lucky."

Liu Si offered Bei Yuan a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "I never thought you would say such things."

Bei Yuan asked in surprise, "Why, I can't say that!"

Liu Si thought for a while, and then said: "It stands to reason that you are young, but for some reason, you always feel that you have the noble air of being born in the royal family."

Hearing these words, Beiyuan's heart flooded with memories, but he recovered immediately, and said, "Fourth Master was joking, Beiyuan has read poetry and books since he was a child, so he must have become more scholarly and a bit noble."

Liu Si thought about this in his heart, Lin Beiyuan talked to him, although his words were respectful, but his expression and posture were full of arrogance, maybe even he himself didn't realize it.So he said: "Your grandfather's house is so lively these days, why don't you see you walking around?"

After hearing this, Bei Yuan naturally said, "How can I go out to have fun when I am filial?"

Liu Si stood up to his words, and said a little ashamedly: "It's my fault. Today I only thought of pulling you out to relax, but I didn't think of you being filial."

Bei Yuan looked at Liu Si, this man was being sarcastic, if he said he didn't know how to keep his filial piety, why didn't he order vegetarian dishes, not even wine.This is obviously saying that if you don't believe it, you didn't go to Jia's mansion because of your filial piety.

Seeing that Beiyuan didn't speak, Liu Si didn't say much, after all, there was a virtuous concubine in the palace.

This year in the Lin residence is relatively uneventful. In the Lin residence with few people, Daiyu even let those who have families go back to celebrate the New Year. Firstly, it is to do good deeds, and secondly, it is also thinking about the request of her and Beiyuan to be vegetarians. Let's go together.

Beiyuan liked this, the door of the study room was missing those two blind girls, and immediately became much cleaner. Daiyu didn't like Beiyuan, but she was an older sister anyway, so she had to persuade her: "Ethics at your age It’s not too small, I should know about these things. I originally wanted to put those two in your room to wait on, and I’ll tell you when the filial piety is over. people?"

Bei Yuan understood after hearing Daiyu's question.It's just that Beiyuan couldn't forget Nian Ci on the one hand, and on the other hand, he always felt that the two of them could do that only when they were in love.So he said: "I have that girl Mingyue in my room to serve food and clothing, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

Daiyu was displeased when she heard this, and said, "You're blaming me!"

Bei Yuan hurriedly begged for mercy and said, "Sister's heart, of course I know, it's just that Bei Yuan is still young!"

Daiyu looked at Beiyuan and thought he was shy, so she had to say: "Forget it, it's not too late to say, but the bright moon in your room is also good to look at, if I like her, I will be happy."

Bei Yuan just smiled and didn't speak, so the matter was prevaricated, but she didn't know that Daiyu only thought that Bei Yuan had fallen in love with Ming Yue, so she never mentioned it.

Although the years in the Lin family were a bit deserted, the siblings talked and laughed happily after all.But they didn't know that a big event happened in the Jia's mansion.

For the matter of visiting relatives in Yuanchun, Ningrong and Rong's two houses naturally contributed money and efforts, but Jia Rong and Jia Qiang lost the bank note, and they have not been able to find the thief.The thief was also surprised, he didn't go to the bank to get money.It will be two years in a blink of an eye, and Jia Qiang is anxious to death all day long, so she urges Jia Rong to tell Jia Zhen quickly. At the beginning, Jia Rong was also very anxious, but it has been almost two years, and the debtor People don't come to collect debts, so naturally they are happy to ignore them.Jia Qiang only lamented that he was ridiculous, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she had to talk about love with Ouguan, a little actor from Lixiangyuan every day.

Here, Jia Qiang got along well with the little opera singer in the Pear Fragrance Garden. Although the girl was young and was born as an actress, she had a bit of arrogance. Grinding side by side.

The New Year in Jia's Mansion is naturally very lively, but the door-to-door debt collection these few days is really ugly.

The one who owed the debt was none other than the creditor of Jia Rong and Jia Qiang who bought operas in the south of the Yangtze River.The man had seen the excitement of Jia's mansion, and thought that he would not waste money, so he waited for a year, and it seemed that it was going to be the second year. He went to the door twice and was kicked out.

It was only then that I felt angry, and brought a few big men to the door to demand, and the man held in his hand the IOU that Wang Xifeng had pressed his handprint on. Naturally, Sister Feng immediately called Jia Rong to make up.

After a long time, Jia Rong thought that this matter could be passed on, but now seeing that the creditor had no choice but to have no money in hand, she discussed whether she could pay 1000 taels first and then wait a year later.

The debtor said with a smile: "I thought your Jia's family was so rich, but how could you know that you can't pay out only 5 taels of silver for two years. Are you not the natal family of the noble concubine?"

Jia Rong felt bad after hearing this, this man was going to tear his face apart, so he had to wait for two days to talk badly, and then stuffed a bag of beads in the man's hand before dismissing it.

This time when I came back to the mansion, I was naturally thinking about how to make money. Originally, after listening to Beiyuan's words, I found the servants who were with me at the beginning, but those cunning people insisted that they didn't know. This dragged on until now.

Although Jia Rong is the son of the Ningguo Mansion, he has no rights in the mansion, and everyone in the mansion knows about this movement.It didn't take long for all the old ladies who did it to know. Jia Mu pointed at Sister Feng and scolded: "I thought that although you are usually irritable, you are still prudent in doing things. Why did you keep such a big thing a secret for a long time?"

Wang Xifeng knelt down and cried: "Old lady, Brother Rong and Brother Qiang came here, I really can't shirk it, besides, the money was stolen, these two nephews were crying, I am an aunt You can't ignore it!"

Mother Jia sighed: "You are a good person, but this matter is too big, and the person who stole the money will not immediately withdraw the money. Besides, you wrote the IOU and pressed your fingerprint. You are confused."

Wang Xifeng secretly resented the creditor for causing too much trouble, but he could only say: "The grandson's daughter-in-law is also in a hurry, the ancestor wants to make the decision for me!"

Mother Jia closed her eyes and thought for a while, then said, "We can only pay back the money first, or it will be a joke for the Chinese New Year."

How easy it is to pay back the money, Jia's daily food expenses are huge, and the men usually don't have a plan. large number.

Mother Jia had no choice but to take out a few items from her private collection and let Wang Xifeng pawn them, only 3 taels.The remaining [-] yuan has to be figured out by herself. Sister Feng thought that although Jia She is her father-in-law, she is not close to Jia Lian on weekdays. Besides, Jia She eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles all day long, and has no money. It's even more impossible to spend the money from Yingchun all day long.

Simply because there are not many Mrs. Wang on weekdays, and the two are both surnamed Wang, so they are relatives. Wang Xifeng thought about it and went to find Mrs. Wang.

Let's not talk about Mrs. Wang's daily life, but this time when Sister Feng came to ask her to collect money, Mrs. Wang immediately looked ugly and said: "This happened to my niece, and besides, this matter is related to my mother's relatives. I should have Take out the money. But you also know that on weekdays, I just recite Buddha’s name, so I can get some money every month.” Mrs. Wang looked at Sister Feng and saw that she looked wrong, so she said: “I still have some dowry, but Zhu Er took out some when she got married, thinking that Baoyu needed another one. This multicolored ceramic horse is left, why don't you pawn it!"

Wang Xifeng originally thought that she and Mrs. Wang would kiss each other, and this was a relationship that was more intimate, but she didn't expect to use this object to get rid of herself, and she was angry and funny at the same time.He just said with a cold face: "Since the wife is in such a tight situation, then the niece and daughter-in-law will leave first." After finishing speaking, she went straight out without bowing.

As soon as he left the door, he scolded: "I'm such a bitch!"
