dream of red mansion

Chapter 718 Old Lai Xue Pan
Just when the Great Chu Dynasty Hall was actively fighting, under the Dragon City Pass, the Cossack vanguard general was in a situation of scolding.

He led more than [-] soldiers and horses, galloped towards Longcheng Pass at an extremely fast speed, and arrived at the destination half a day earlier than the task assigned to him by the superior.

Then he started attacking this majestic level.

After attacking for half a day without haste, seeing that it was night, he happily waited for the sound of killing from behind the enemy.But until half of the warriors under him were killed or injured because of the attack, there was still no movement behind the enemy.

The opponent's level is still unbreakable.

In desperation, he had to camp outside Longcheng Pass and wait.

After waiting for a day, he finally knew that the wise and mighty Duke had miscalculated.
Fortunately, half a day later, his reinforcements arrived.

The general in charge of this raid saw this situation and knew that he had lost the opportunity.Now even if they break through the Longcheng Pass, they will not be able to sneak attack on their capital, so he has no choice but to convey another order from Fyodor:
Divide the troops into two groups, and go south all the way to disrupt the enemy's territory and cut off the enemy's food road.The other way went north and attacked the enemy's Xuanfu Town.Because outside Xuanfu Town, there are their allies.
They did not attack the capital by force or by detour as Emperor Zhengqing and the others feared.
This year, the people in the capital are probably going to have a bad time.

First, there was a commotion in the capital. The Forbidden Army, the Jingying Army, and the Jinyi Army kept wandering around the capital, scaring every household in the capital so that they dared not go out.

After all the cleaning was finally over, those who ransacked their homes were sent to jail.Immediately afterwards, it was reported that the Russians had torn up the covenant, and the cavalry was about to hit the capital, which frightened everyone even more.

This year, there is no festive atmosphere at all.

Ningguo Mansion, as a state mansion in the capital, is naturally consistent with the style of the capital.

But Jia Yun was very angry today.As the temporary person in charge of the Ningguo Mansion, he was somewhat helpless with this person in front of him.

"Uncle Xue, you took the initiative to come over a few days ago and begged our Second Master Yun. After all the good words and bad words, our Second Master Yun re-signed the original contract at the risk of being blamed by the Second Master. Now you If you want to go back on your word, how can this be unreasonable?"

Seeing Jia Yun's ugly face, Yang Xu suppressed his anger, so he said.

He is not a servant of Jia's family, but Jia Qing's think tank, so he can speak.Lai Sheng and Li Yan who were standing next to him couldn't say anything.

Xue Pan was chasing Jia Yun shyly at first, but when he saw an outsider dare to make irresponsible remarks to him, he immediately scolded: "You prisoner, what are you talking about, Mr. Xue?!"

"enough!"

Seeing that Xue Pan scolded Yang Xu, Jia Yun couldn't bear it any longer, stood up and said, "Uncle Xue, forgive Jia Yun for not daring to agree to your request!

That day, you were the one who saw the sharp drop in grain prices and was afraid of losing money, so you came to the door and said that you would sell all the grain to my Ningguo Mansion. You also said that even the second uncle agreed at the beginning, so I risked being punished by the second uncle The risk of buying the food from the Xue family...

Now that you see the war is going on again, and the grain price is going to rise again, you want to buy the grain back again. I'm afraid there is no such thing in the world, right? "

Jia Yun is also a man of the city, and knows that the Jia and Xue families are family friends.Even if this relationship is disregarded, and Jia Qing takes Baochai later, this Xue Pan will be regarded as his uncle, how can he offend him?

So Jia Yun said calmly.

Xue Pan was embarrassed.

"Well, I was confused that day... Besides, your second uncle said that you would give it to me at the price of two taels of silver and a stone, but you only gave it to me at the price of two taels of silver and a stone that day, aren't you Why don't you take the opportunity to cheat me while I'm confused..."

Xue Pan said shamelessly.

Jia Yun almost laughed angrily.

If Jia Qing hadn't told him alone that as long as Xue Pan came to sell grain, he would accept it without refusing, and he would not have agreed to Xue Pan's shameless request that day.

Now Jia Qing is really like a prophet, and the grain in the capital has started to rise again with a clear trend, especially after the imperial court sent people to collect the grain, the bosses of all the major grain shops are going out of business...

The price of food in Beijing suddenly became confusing.

Many grain stores simply put up a sold out sign, and then gave the guys some money to go home for the New Year.

All in all, it is impossible for the price of food to drop again until the court fails to come up with effective measures.

This is the case in the capital city, and it is conceivable that other places in Dachu.

"Fair business, you love me, there is no such thing as cheating anyone. Jia Yun can't stand Uncle Xue's words."

"Can bear it...

Brother Yun, you see that you are so capable, you just pretend that I never came to your house that day, and I never sold those grains to you.

Based on the relationship between our two families, what is hard to say?right……"

As soon as Xue Pan became ashamed, he could say anything.And even the logic was lost, Jia Yun couldn't laugh or cry even when he said the two "bearable".

He said that he couldn't afford it, but he wasn't being humble. Can he say that?
But Jia Yun resolutely rejected his unreasonable request.

"Uncle Xue, it's not that the younger generation doesn't give you face, it's because we have already signed the contract in black and white, and all the food belongs to our Ningguo Mansion.

Our second master is of great use to take these grains, I really can't go back and sell them to you...

Otherwise, once this rule is broken, Chow Tai Fook and others will come to us to buy back their food later, aren't we just offending people?
I also ask Uncle Xue to understand the difficulties of the younger generation.

If Uncle Xue really wants to buy back the food, you should wait for the second uncle to come back and discuss it with the old man. The younger generation really has no control over this matter. "

"Fart, fart, how can you not be the master of the contract I signed from you? Besides, what are Chow Tai Fook and the others, can they compare with the relationship between our two families? What's the point of comparing them, really... ..."

Jia Yun sneered in her heart, her relationship is incomparable, but she never made a fuss in the middle of taking the contract, even now, she never came to her door to say a word of regret.

Of course, maybe they have this idea, but they dare not come.

"Uncle Xue, don't embarrass this junior any more. I won't accompany you if I have other matters. This junior will leave first..."

Facing the thick-skinned Xue Pan who couldn't beat him or scold him, Jia Yun finally had no choice but to run away from him.

Yang Xu and others watched coldly, and were also ready to follow Jia Yun to leave.

"Don't go!"

Xue Pan suddenly blocked the door with his fat body, and then maybe he also felt that blocking other people's doors in other people's homes was a bit of a thing.When he rolled his eyes, he actually thought about it.

"Wow, Second Master Yun, just take pity on me, I really came to you that day because I lost my mind...

Even my mother didn't know about it, if she knew that I did such a stupid and nasty bastard thing, she would kill me.

And my sister Baochai, if he knew that I did such a stupid thing secretly behind their backs, he would definitely ignore me for the rest of his life... It's fine if she ignores me, but if she gets angry again, he will be you Future aunt, if you make her angry, how will you tell the world to think of you?From now on, you will be pointed and pointed at whenever you go out...Brother Yun, just take it as me begging you..."

Xue Pan suddenly knelt down and hugged Jia Yun's leg, crying like a ghost.

"Uncle Xue, you get up first, how decent is this..."

Jia Yun was stunned by Xue Pan's actions for a moment.

But listening to his words, Jia Yun felt better.That day Xue Pan came to the door to break the contract. Although he finally agreed, he felt very uncomfortable.

At that time, the price of food was getting lower and lower every day, almost reaching the price when we hoarded it.Didn't Xue Pan break his promise and add insult to injury by doing that?
He even has a bad impression of the Xue family.

Now that Xue Pan said that he was the leader without permission, Jia Yun felt relieved.That's right, I have long heard that Aunt Xue's family is the most intelligent and sensible person, and she will also be the head grandma of Ningguo Mansion in the future.

How could she allow Xue Pan to do such a thing?
"Uncle Xue, why don't you get up first before you say anything, you see so many people watching..."

Jia Yun saw many servants in the courtyard, and Xue Pan just hugged his thigh and "cryed" at the door, and it would be a big joke if it spread.

"Then you agreed?"

Xue Pan raised his head, his chubby face was full of hope.

If you want to say that he, the overlord Xue Pan, would act like this?He is not a greedy person!On the contrary, he is very generous and generous, and he would never play such a fool.

All this was because he couldn't afford to lose his big face.

He cried and complained at home before, but he failed to convince Aunt Xue, mother and daughter.He wanted to prove himself that day, and when the time came, he would go back and taunt them, so that they would no longer dare to refute his intentions to come to Jia Yun and secretly sold all the food.

Not only that, he also publicized this matter in his circle of drinking and meat friends, the purpose, of course, is to see Jia Qing's jokes...

Who knew that things would turn around suddenly, and the battle would be so fierce all of a sudden.He really inquired, the Russian cavalry really came to Longcheng Pass, and now there is still a cavalry raging in southern Shaanxi and southern Shanxi, and it has not been completely wiped out.

This posture is more than ten times more intense than last year!
Under such circumstances, it would be a strange thing if the price of food did not rise to the sky.

In this way, didn't all the bullshit he boasted before turned into naked slaps, slapping himself hard in the face?

At that time, there will be no way to stay at home, and there will be endless ridicule outside, and the worst thing is that he can't do anything to hide from the capital... If he encounters a Cossack along the way, wouldn't it be the end of the game?
Isn't this forcing Uncle Xue to a dead end?

After all the calculations, he decided to tear off his own face and stick it on his butt, begging Jia Yun...

This is embarrassing, but only for a while.He has calculated that it is more cost-effective than being ridiculed for a lifetime and losing a lifetime.
