Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 260 Spend a lot of money and bargain!
Baochai changed from her former virtuous appearance, and for the first time she choked with jealousy in front of Feng Yibo.

Naturally, this is not simply flirting.

After all, she is not Daiyu, how could she be so jealous?

Actually, Baochai was warning Feng Yibo.

Enough is enough.

What she cared about was not Feng Yibo's taking a concubine, let alone Yingchun's threat to her.

But I don't want him to show mercy everywhere.

Feng Yibo is actually well aware of this.

But he had to get Baochai's approval for this matter, otherwise it would be even more difficult to explain.

Fortunately, after a little care and gentleness, Baochai was finally coaxed.

This confession and jealousy are all over.

It can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the husband and wife.

With Baochai's approval, Feng Yibo didn't delay.

He was on the move the next day.

First, let someone post a post to Jia Lian and his son, specifically emphasizing that they want to invite Jia Amnesty to have a meal together.

Said to discuss the future relationship between the two.

Jia Lian didn't understand what Feng Yibo meant, but he still sent the letter.

Jia Amnesty was a little confused when he received the invitation.

But in the end, he happily went to the appointment.

He knew that Feng Yibo was Jia Lian's God of Wealth, and he also longed for a share of the pie.

The two parties did not make an appointment at home, but in the private room of the Zhuangyuan Building.

"Uncle, nephew rarely has the opportunity to drink with you, but the relationship with Brother Lian is like a brother, so you are like my father."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Feng Yibo began to try to get to the point.

As he spoke, he offered Jia Amnesty himself, and said:

"I heard that my uncle has been short of silver envoys recently. I have some here. You might as well use them first."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Lian suddenly looked at Feng Yibo in surprise.

I really don't know what kind of medicine he sells in the gourd.

Feng Yibo has always been very kind to him.

Fortunately, Jia Lian was at a loss sometimes.

A few days ago, Feng Yibo just recognized his eldest sister as his daughter.

There were also valuable gifts.

Called his father out again today, what is this for?

Is this to help his father to be filial?

After thinking about it, Jia Lian remembered what happened a while ago.

When he and Feng Yibo were drinking, he complained a few words about his father's actions.

It is said that Jia Amnesty almost ransacked his private house money.

The moment he thought of this, Jia Lian's face turned pale.

It's not his fault for thinking too much.

Mainly Feng Yibo, who has stood up for him many times,
The first time he complained, Jia Lian took the initiative to beg him.

Then Feng Yibo helped him "solve" Wang Xifeng.

The second time you complain, it's really just a complaint.

But Feng Yibo helped him "solve" Xia Shouzhong again.

Then complain this time...

After all, Jia Amnesty is his father, so it shouldn't be "solved" too, right?
"Ok?"

He didn't pay attention to Jia Lian's face of fear, but Jia She was taken aback when he heard the words.

But he didn't think about anything else, but frowned and asked:

"What does Yibo mean? But do you need me?"

Feng Yibo's position in the court is stable, and he is also a civil servant.

It stands to reason that nothing can ask him.

But after Jia She thought about it, this was the only possibility.

Otherwise, why give him money?

Jia Amnesty is short of money, but he also knows the truth that no merit will be rewarded.

Money in this world is not taken for nothing.

But when he asked this question, he was also prepared.

No matter what Feng Yibo wanted, he wanted to try it.

no way!
Who made him short of money?

Feng Yibo saw that Jia Amnesty was very good, so he smiled shyly and said:
"It's true that I have something to ask for, but I'm afraid my uncle will be angry when he hears it."

Let the daughter of a respectable family be a concubine.

Anyone who hears this will be angry.

"angry?"

Jia Amnesty frowned slightly, but he couldn't think of any reason to get angry after giving money.

He raised his glass and touched Feng Yibo, and looked at Feng Yibo in confusion after finishing the drink.

Waiting for his answer.

Feng Yibo also drank the wine in his glass, put on a warm smile, and continued:

"I don't want to give my uncle some money, but I'm afraid my uncle won't accept it."

He went around, in fact, to whet Jia She's appetite.

When Jia Amnesty heard that there was money to spend, he had long been interested.

Now I heard Feng Yibo say that he was afraid that he would not accept the money.

Jia She immediately smiled and said domineeringly:
"I won't take it? As long as you can afford it, I'll spend it all!"

This is not Jia She's bragging!

When it comes to prodigals, no one in the Jia family can compare to him.

Jia Lian was just making trouble, and Jia Zhen was just extravagant and lustful.

How can it compare to his wide range of hobbies?

Jia Amnesty is not only addicted to wine and sex, but also likes to collect antiques, taste delicacies, fight chickens and lackeys, raise caged birds, and prostitutes...

It can be said that everything is perfect!

As a dude, Xue Pan is the younger brother in front of Jia She.

"Uncle knows that my family has been single-passed for three generations, and in my generation, I am the only male left."

Feng Yibo saw that Jia Amnesty had been aroused.

Immediately, he began to sell miserably, and sighed:
"The lack of prosperity in the Feng family has always been my heart disease."

Everyone knows this, and there is even a matter of imperial gifts and gifts for this.

Jia Lian was also a little confused when he heard this.

He didn't know how Feng Yibo talked about his life experience again.

Jia Amnesty was even more confused, and didn't know what to ask him for these things.

"No, I met a wandering Taoist a while ago, and he gave me a divination, saying that I can't take concubines casually, otherwise I will be born a daughter."

Feng Yibo began to make up nonsense, as if he was a Daoist letter.

Having said that, he sighed and said:
"Oh, it's an evil story, you can't believe it! Just a while ago, didn't my aunt give birth to a daughter for me?"

Jia Amnesty didn't know this, so he took a look at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian didn't know what Feng Yibo was going to do either.

Seeing his father looking at him, he nodded.

It can be regarded as affirmed.

"I asked at the time, and I said that since the expert has seen it, can you explain this matter to me? If I can have a son, I promise that the expert will not let the expert lose his power for nothing."

Feng Yibo's remarks seemed to be nonsense.

But it made Jia Amnesty believe him a little bit.

After all, in this era, high officials and dignitaries are generally superstitious.

If nothing else, just talk about Jia Mansion.

If there is nothing to do, people will be sent to have a funeral.

When Jiamu celebrated her birthday, Baoyu went to the temple to kneel.

Naturally, Jia Amnesty was not surprised by this.

However, he still didn't understand what Feng Yibo wanted him to do.

Could it be that the secret recipe of wandering Taoist priests requires the cooperation of the elders to have a son?
"The Taoist priest took my money and then pinched his fingers to make the final calculation! Uncle, guess what?"

Seeing Feng Yibo speak vigorously, Jia She also very cooperatively said:
"What's the matter?"

"This...that...tsk!...Alas!"

When Feng Yibo said this, he remained silent.

Also sighed heavily.

It seems that things are not easy to talk about.

Seeing this, Jia She became more curious and asked:

"How exactly?"

Hearing his question, Feng Yibo seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said:

"The Taoist said that if the Feng family wants to flourish, they need elders, themselves, wives, people who are close to them, and a second-ranked girl. Only with such a fate can they give birth to a son for me. Only the Feng family can pass on the incense smoothly."

Feng Yibo walked around, naturally wanting to find a way for Jia's mansion.

Otherwise, if you directly ask Yingchun to be a concubine.

That's not a courtship, it's a slap in the face!

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he was taken aback for a moment before realizing it.

People who are close to Feng's seniors, himself, and his wife.

That is naturally the Rong Mansion!
Speaking of Feng Yibo's elders, naturally the first thing that comes to mind is Li Shouzhong.

Li Shouzhong and Rongfu are in-laws.

Feng Yibo himself and Jia Lian had a close relationship, and even recognized Sister Qiao as his goddaughter.

The two wives are even related to Rongfu.

From Daiyu's point of view, Jia She should be called uncle.

From Baochai's point of view, Jia Zheng should be called uncle.

Then the second girl.

Needless to say, isn't this talking about welcoming the spring?

No wonder I found Lao Tzu!
"Crack!" sound.

Jia She patted the table, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Yibo, have you drunk too much?"

He is not stupid, he has already understood.

Feng Yibo went around, thinking about the Spring Festival!
But the Rong Mansion is also a noble family, so how can a concubine be a concubine?

Unless, someone with a higher title than him!
Such as the county king, such as the emperor.

Even if Feng Yibo said it tactfully, it was still slapping him in the face!

"Snapped!"

Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo also slapped the table at this time.

It's just that there was no sound of Jia She's clapping.

"This is 1 taels. Uncle will spend it first."

Good guy!
It turned out that he took a stack of money orders!
No wonder the sound was muffled, not as loud and crisp as Jia She's clapping.

Jia Amnesty was stunned for a moment, looking at the thick stack of money orders.

It seems to be thinking about whether there is 1 taels.

After a long while, Jia Amnesty pursed his dry lips and said forcefully:
"Although I, Jia She, lack money, I won't sell my daughter!"

As soon as these words came out, they were already showing weakness.

They all admit that they are short of money, what else can they hold on to?
It's just that Jia Amnesty's mind was full of calculations, but in the end he still lost face.

It's not that he doesn't want 1 taels, but that he doesn't want to lose his position in front of Feng Yibo, a junior.

"Snapped!"

Unexpectedly, Feng Yibo took out another stack of money orders from the small parcel, and said with a smile:

"5000 taels, is it enough to hire the second younger sister to be a good concubine?"

Even if you have more money, you have to restrain yourself a little bit.

Feng Yibo didn't drop [-], but added [-] at a time.

This was not because Feng Yibo couldn't afford it, but because Sun Shaozu's five thousand almost succeeded.

Then he paid twice or three times the price, which was enough to shake Jia Amnesty.

That being the case, why give more?
Sure enough, Jia Amnesty was shaken seeing this.

At this time, he also lost the decisiveness just now, but hesitated and said:
"This... the old lady is not easy to explain."

Only then did he discuss with Jia's mother about Sun Shaozu's matter, how to make Yingchun become a concubine again.

In this way, I am afraid that there is a risk of being scolded.

"Snapped!"

When Feng Yibo heard this, it was another stack of money orders.

After adding again, he asked with a smile:
"2 taels, the old lady may have confessed?"

Jia Amnesty's eyes were already bright at this time, but he still did not let go, but said:
"But I promised the Sun family in Datong, as long as I nod, they will start to walk the six rituals..."

In fact, at this level, it's almost time for Feng Yibo to accept it.

However, he didn't want any new changes in the good situation.

So he emptied the package, dumped it all on the table, and continued:

"There are a total of 5000 taels here, and the last 5000 taels will be returned to that Master Sun."

What he meant was obvious.

I helped you pay back the bill, what reason is there for refusing?

"This……"

Jia Amnesty didn't know how Feng Yibo knew that he took 5000 taels from Sun Shaozu.

I just thought Jia Lian had mentioned it to someone, but I didn't think much about it.

At this moment, he only looked at Feng Yibo eagerly.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

keep going!
Don't stop!
However, Feng Yibo didn't pay any more this time.

He felt almost there.

Not only did he not take out the money, but he started to sort out the money order he had just taken out.

While tidying up, glanced at Jia Amnesty from the corner of the eye, and said:

"I also know that this request is a bit presumptuous. If it hurts the relationship between the two families, it will be bad."

Feng Yibo sorted out the thick stack of money orders, and knocked it on the table.

Put it back into the small package before, sighed again:

"Hey! If it weren't for that wandering Taoist priest, I wouldn't have paid so much money. Since uncle doesn't want to, then forget it."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Amnesty became a little anxious.

He even stretched out his hand, trying to stop Feng Yibo from taking the money order.

But he came to his senses in time, and retracted his hand embarrassingly.

At the same time, he showed a flattering smile, and tentatively said:
"Well, I also prepared four dowry maids for the Spring Festival, but they were all carefully selected. You can see in Yibo..."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Yibo's packing hand stopped.

He raised his head to look at Jia She, and looked at Jia She with a little embarrassment.

After a while, Feng Yibo frowned and said:
"Whether you like it or not is a matter of uncle's words. What I can offer is 5000 taels."

As he spoke, he weighed the packaged money order in his hand, and said:

"To be honest, the money is enough for hiring, not to mention one good concubine, even ten are enough."

Seeing that Jia Amnesty's eyes had been fixed on the package, his eyes were full of reluctance.

Feng Yibo knew that the matter was half over.

He smiled again, and said indifferently:
"As for maids, you can buy ten good ones for 100 taels, what does uncle think?"

Jia Amnesty naturally knew the market.

Although it is not enough to buy ten best ones for 100 taels, it is enough to buy ten good ones.

The scene fell into a brief silence for a while.

After a while, Jia Amnesty suddenly said:
"5 taels, plus helping me with Sun Shaozu's affairs."

After saying this, Jia Amnesty's breathing became short of breath.

He was actually a little impatient, afraid that Feng Yibo would refuse.

"Uncle, you've opened your mouth a bit like a lion."

Hearing this, Feng Yibo opened the package again, showed his chips, and said:

"That's all, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay."

When Jia She heard this, he was a little disappointed.

However, he also knew that he was in the wrong, but he didn't want to miss such an opportunity.

He knew Feng Yibo was rich, but he didn't expect that he would be so willing for a woman.

Even if this woman was his daughter, Jia She felt it was worthless.

After all, she is just a concubine, and she has to marry back to be the main wife.

He hesitated for a while, but still didn't want to give up easily, so he started bargaining again, saying:
"I will give 1 taels to Yingchun as a dowry, including the four maids, and I guarantee that it will be delivered to your house in a beautiful manner."

Having said that, he looked at Feng Yibo eagerly, and asked:

"how?"

This is equivalent to a transaction price of 4 taels.

As long as Feng Yibo nods his head, the matter will be settled immediately.

However, Feng Yibo smiled, shook his head and said:
"Honestly, I don't think so."
