The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 175 Infinite Gentleness ([-])

Although the holiday is only tomorrow, but that night, all the young masters who came to train were gone.

For more than ten days, they have been tortured here, and now they finally have a chance to relax, how can they let it go?
Xue Pan was the first to go out.When I got home, I called for dinner as soon as I entered the house.

"I'm hungry, hurry up and make dinner."

When Aunt Xue saw Xue Pan in such a mess, she felt very uncomfortable.Seeing that Xue Pan was hungry as soon as he came back, he didn't know how much he had suffered in the barracks, so tears flowed down his face.

Soon, the food was served.Xue Pan didn't care about his image, so he ate voraciously.

After a while, the speed slowed down.

"I heard Baoyu say that brother Min is there and abuses you all day long, but is it true?"

"Of course it's true. That goddamn fourth brother Min tortures us in different ways all day long. If he's not careful, he'll be locked up in a cage, or not given food. He's only 15 years old, and he's so ruthless. If By the age of 50, maybe how ruthless it will be."

"Is it really not enough to eat there?"

Aunt Xue felt sorry for her son when she heard that there would be no food for him.

"Mother, don't listen to my brother's nonsense. I have been there too, and I can eat enough. It's just that I walk all day, and I'm hungry soon."

"My sister was still speaking for the fourth brother Min. That day when you walked forward, you put me in a cage. We didn't provoke him, so we gave my sister a blow."

"It makes no sense for my brother to say that. If you give me power, you will give it when I am here. Why do you have to wait until I leave? Fourth brother Min also told us at that time that you want to be deserters, so that's why you want to be a deserter." to be punished."

"My younger sister is always talking for that fourth brother Min. It's a good thing you didn't marry him. If you married that goddamn fourth brother Min, you wouldn't be able to bully me with him."

"Brother is talking nonsense again, mother, don't you care about him?"

Baochai got angry, turned around and left the house.

"Why is my sister angry again? I didn't say anything?"

"You bastard, haven't you said anything yet? You'll make your sister angry as soon as you come back."

Aunt Xue hit Xue Pan lightly on the head.

"This Fourth Min, I don't know why he went crazy today. He even thought of giving us a day off. Otherwise, he wouldn't be back at this time."

"There are no outsiders today, so it's fine to talk about it at home. When a guest comes tomorrow, you are not allowed to talk nonsense anymore."

"What's the matter, are you going to have a guest tomorrow?"

"I just want to invite brother Ming to my house for a drink."

"What? Invite him to drink at home? There is nowhere to put the food and drink at home, and you want to invite that goddamn man to drink? No!"

"You bastard, you're talking nonsense again. If there's nothing else to do, well, why would you invite him to drink?"

"Could it be to ask him to take care of me? It's useless, even if he is invited, it is for nothing."

"Where is it to take care of you? It was your sister who wanted to do business with Brother Ming, so he invited him to come to the house to discuss."

Now, Xue Pan did not object.

"Oh, if it's for business, it's okay to ask him for a while. Although the fourth brother Min is not good at leading the army, he is still very good at doing business."

After Xue Pan finished eating, he lingered at home for a while, but finally couldn't stay, so he went out to look for Baoyu.Hearing that Baoyu had arrived at Jia Rong's place, he went to Dongfu.They met each other on the way, so they went out and went to Dajinmen to play together.

At the beginning of the next morning, Jia Min arrived at the East Flower Hall.After chatting with Feng Sanniang and Qingwen about Shuzi for a while, I went back to the Farming and Studying Institute, changed into a dress, and walked towards Xue's house.

Yesterday, Ping'er had already returned to Yeduju.Before going back, I found Qingwen.Tell her to take care of Jia Min more.In fact, at this time, Jia Min was basically leading the army at Yeduju, and asked them to take care of them, but they couldn't take care of them.

Qingwen was told by Ping'er, and she didn't dare to talk back to Ping'er, so she gave Magpie and Thrush a scolding as usual.

Jia Min went to Xue's house today, but she followed.He said he was taking care of Jia Min, but actually he wanted to chat with Xiangling and Yinger.

Qingwen went to report first, and Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and Baochai came out to welcome her.

"Report sir, welcome to the house for a drink."

As soon as Xue Pan saw Jia Min, he habitually saluted and reported, but since he had nothing suitable to say, he just said something nondescript.

"It's all at home, so there is no need to pay attention to etiquette."

"Yes, sir."

Although Xue Pan was respectful on the surface, he said in his heart: Everything is at home?This is my home, as if it were yours.

After entering the room, the guests and hosts sat down, made tea, and began to gossip.

Aunt Xue said some polite words, and left Xue Pan and Baochai talking to Jia Min in the room.

Baochai wanted to talk about some business matters, but Jia Min seemed to be absent-minded and didn't mention it, just talking about him.It's not that he didn't want to say it, but that he didn't want to say it in front of Xue Pan.

As for Xue Pan's big mouth, if there is something wrong, don't you have to tell him to go out?
Xue Pan saw that Jia Min and Baochai were just talking indifferently, and looked at Jia Min awkwardly, so he didn't want to stay here for a long time.

Just when Xiangling came in and asked what wine to drink, Xue Pan used the excuse to go out to see the wine and never came back.

As a result, Jia Min and Baochai were left in the room.

Although the atmosphere was a bit strange, and Baochai was a little nervous, on the surface, she still seemed generous.

"I invite Fourth Brother Min to come to my house today. First, I want to thank my brother for taking care of me. Second, I want to discuss business matters with Fourth Brother Min. It's a bit abrupt, and I hope Fourth Brother Min will forgive me."

Don't be obtrusive, I am very willing to come, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Although Jia Min was happy in his heart, he had to pretend to be serious on the surface.

"Miss Bao, you are being polite. They are all relatives, regardless of the inside and outside. As for your brother, I can't talk about taking care of them. I am very strict with them. When he comes home, he probably won't say anything good about me. .”

Do you know that no one speaks well of you?Finally, there is still a little self-knowledge.

Thinking about it, Baochai smiled slightly.

"In the past few days, I always go to the East Mansion. Brother Rong's daughter-in-law's business is booming."

"Yeah, I didn't expect her to do so well. The current momentum is really good."

"Fourth Brother Min gave the popcorn machine to Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, it's a bit partial."

As Baochai spoke, she showed a narrow smile, and stared straight at Jia Min, as if she wanted to see something from his eyes.

It seemed inappropriate for a young girl to stare at a man like this.But Baochai did just that.

Baochai stared at him like this, and adding that Jia Min favored Qin Keqing, Jia Min felt a little guilty for a while.

In this matter, he was indeed partial to Qin Keqing.However, he quickly found an excuse for himself.

I'm naturally partial to Keqing.She is going to have a baby for me, and you haven't even said anything about it, can I not be partial to her?Besides, I didn't intentionally favor her, you two are watching machines together, it's just that Keqing trusts me more, and you trust your own vision more.

"I can't say that I'm biased. In my eyes, Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion are the same. Even yours is the same. At the beginning, you two watched the machine together, but Brother Rong's daughter-in-law took a step ahead. That's all."

"One step at a time, one step at a time. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with her in the future?"

"If Miss Bao wants to do it, she can do it anytime. When it comes to doing business, there are few people in this mansion who can compare to you."

"Fourth Brother Min won the award, but he just got some experience from the influence of his family."

This is a more confident statement, which is equivalent to indirectly acknowledging Jia Min's evaluation.

"Now the popcorn machine is getting better and better in Dongfu. If you want to do it here, you have to do it before it's too late. I have an idea, you can take a closer look at it."

"Brother Min's idea is naturally subtle. If I say it, I will do it."

"I can't say it. The so-called one person counts the short, and the two count the long. This business can only be done well if you and I work together. If I am not here in the future, you will have to work hard. Mansion I don't worry about the others."

"Could it be that Brother Min is leaving the mansion again?"

Baochai asked eagerly.

"That's not true. I'm going to take the martial arts exam now. If I win, I can't help myself. It's completely possible to let go of a foreign job."

"This business is a big business. It is related to the future livelihood and destiny of the mansion. You also know the people in this mansion. The original business has been messed up. Can they afford such a business? ? Who do you want to do?"

Baochai didn't say a word, it seemed that she agreed with Jia Min's words.

"Since the fourth brother Min said so, I won't be around the corner when I speak. Although I haven't been here for a long time, I know a thing or two about the situation in the mansion. Business matters are easy to handle, but this person Well, when it comes to dealing with each other, it's going to be a bit more verbose."

Baochai's worry is exactly Jia Min's worry.In the final analysis, it was the problem of these scumbag teammates in the mansion.The problems he can encounter will also be encountered by Baochai in the future.

The reason why Qin Keqing implemented the popcorn project so smoothly this time, besides other factors, is also very important.That is her identity as the young mistress of the Ningguo Mansion.With this identity, it is much more logical for her to do things.The resistance is naturally much less.

However, Baochai does not have this status advantage.

"We don't have to worry about the daily affairs of the mansion. What you and I have to do are just business matters."

So Jia Min began to introduce his plan to Baochai in detail.

After listening to Jia Min's introduction, Baochai fell silent.She needs time to digest this plan.

Qin Keqing saw the core essence of Jia Min's plan. Now that the same problem is in front of Baochai, will she see it?

"Fourth Brother Min, you are talking about business, but once this matter is completed, it will hold the lifeblood of the mansion."

As expected, Baochai was Baochai, and she also saw through the essence of this matter—to control Rongguo Mansion's plan indirectly.

"Since Miss Bao has seen my intentions, it proves that she has the ability. What is needed now is Miss Bao's courage. I wonder if you dare to accept this business?"
