The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 36

The launching ceremony of Guogong Liquor naturally attracted attention in Rongning Second Mansion.

Of course, no one thought that Jia Min would get back 1 taels of silver.This was obviously beyond common sense, and to the well-informed people of the Jia family, it was just a joke, letting people see the ignorance and arrogance of a country boy.

Jia She made an exception today and didn't go out for fun. He came here an hour ago.He wants to wait here and get the news as soon as possible.

There are already a dozen young men waiting by their side, and their mission is, if the bastard wants to enter the mansion, as long as the master gives an order, they will drive Jia Min away.

There have been rumors that the old ancestor had something to say, even if Jia Min didn't hand over the 1 taels of silver, he still asked Jia Min to see her.

Although Jia Amnesty didn't know what the old lady meant, he didn't want to give Jia Min this chance.

Jia Shen never thought that he would lose, but these days, this matter has been haunting his mind, sometimes waking up in the middle of the night, thinking about it.

People used to tease him about it when he was out with friends.Said that he actually bet with a junior, so ignorant.

Jia Min has already disturbed Jia She's life, and he is a little impatient.Now, he just wants to get rid of this bastard as soon as possible, so that his life can return to normal.

This is a flower hall at the gate, when there are visitors, I often wait here to hear from the mansion.The people in the mansion would also meet some unimportant guests here from time to time.

Xing'er, Jia Lian's servant, came back to report.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Before Xing'er got up from the ground, Jia Amnesty asked impatiently.

"Back to the old man, it has been started since the time of Chen. There are quite a few people, but the sale has not yet started. It is indeed selling 100 taels, 20 taels and 5 taels. There is a sign outside, which says it. The second master called me Back to the master, don’t worry, if you can’t sell it, even though there are many people, it’s all just spectators.”

Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go ahead and tell your master to keep an eye on it. If there is any movement, report back quickly."

Xing'er knelt down and kowtowed again, got on his horse and left.

After more than half an hour, Xing'er came back again, his face was covered with sweat, and the expression on his face was very rich, it was hard to tell whether it was happiness or worry.

"How's it going?"

"Go back to the master, the sale has already begun."

"Idiot, of course I knew it was sold, how much did it sell?"

"The two stalls outside have already opened for sale. The second master said that more than half of them were sold. The slave saw that there were still many people queuing there. The second master was afraid that the master would be anxious, so he sent the slave back and told the elder , so that the Elder Master can make preparations."

"what to prepare?"

"The slave is just passing on a message, I don't know what the second master means."

Damn, what are you preparing, don't you know?Still come to ask me?

"The 100 taels can be sold?"

"Second Master went in with Uncle Niu and the others, but he hasn't come out yet, and the people who went in didn't come out, so it must be because they haven't sold yet."

"Okay, you go in, the old lady asked someone to go in and answer, you go in and report back."

Here Xing'er went in to see the old lady, Jia She could not sit still here.Going back and forth in the flower hall.

Lai Da, Shan Daliang, Lin Zhixiao, etc. were also anxious at the side, but they didn't dare to say anything when they saw Jia She's expression was not good.

When Xing'er arrived outside Jiamu's gate, Yuanyang led him in.As soon as I entered the room, I saw a room full of people, talking and laughing.

The old lady sat upright, leaning on the pillow behind her.

On the kang are Baoyu, Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun.

Those on the underground chairs were Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, You Shi, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and Qin Keqing.

Those who stood were Lai's family, Lin Zhixiao's family, Zhou Rui's family, Baoyu's nanny Li Momo and a group of maidservants.

"Get up and talk, grab some fruit for him, and see if he runs away, sweating all over his head, poor thing."

"Xing'er thank you ancestor."

"The wine is all sold?"

"Not yet. It's on sale."

As soon as Xing'er finished speaking, it seemed that someone let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the expressions of Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, etc., it seemed that they relaxed all of a sudden.Only Qin Keqing seemed expressionless.

"Brother Ming, is that wine really that expensive?"

"Going back to the ancestors, it's that expensive."

"Tell us, how did he sell it?"

So, Xing'er went from the countdown in the early days to today's setting up the stage, colorful flags fluttering, banners and plaques, singing and dancing, beautiful women serving wine, free tasting, what kind of collection, gift packaging, boutique packaging, mother-in-law bottle , and what mysterious gifts came out of the flower hall, the soldiers and horses of the five cities went to people to maintain order, prevent trampling, crowded isolation ropes, etc., it said everything.

When Xing'er said this, the expressions of the people in the room became richer.

Mother Jia is becoming more and more smiling, Mrs. Wang is becoming more and more serious, Mrs. Xing is becoming more and more depressed, the big-faced cat Baoyu has become a sad-faced cat, Daiyu is becoming more and more confused, and Shi Xiangyun is becoming more and more depressed. She became more and more curious, Tanchun became more and more delighted, Xichun became more and more surprised, Li Wan became more and more bewildered, Wang Xifeng became more and more frustrated, and Zhou Rui's family looked more and more dead.

Only Qin Keqing had the most relaxed expression, her eyes lit up, her eyebrows jumped up, the corners of her mouth turned up, her cheeks turned red, and her chest stood out.

Xing'er went out, talking and laughing again in the room.However, everyone's thoughts are different.

Jia Mu: It's only been half a day, maybe he really sold it for 1 taels.This brother Ming is also a worker.

Mrs. Wang: Some of them have been sold, but I’m afraid it will be difficult to sell all of them. 100 taels of silver buys 2 catties of wine, even for a family like ours, it’s just a taste.Besides, even if it is sold, it would be embarrassing for the big house, so what does it have to do with me?

Mrs. Xing: Where are the horses and carriages in this city? Why didn't they trample that bastard to death?I'm about to go back, and I'm still tossing so hard that I can't live in peace.

Youshi: If it is really sold, it will be a good show.

Wang Xifeng: Fourth Min, that vile bastard, must be hiding something behind.Ping'er, a dead hoof, didn't send me a letter.Sell, sell, sell your mother, 100 silver, only a fool would buy it.Fourth Min, you can't escape this time.

Li Wan: The fourth brother Min is really capable of tossing around, he can come up with all these tricks.But what's the use of this?You are absolutely not tolerated in the mansion.

Big-faced cat Baoyu: No matter how hard you try, it's useless.Even if he escapes this time, he still wants to lead the horse for me. 3 acres of watermelon sold for 5 taels of silver, do you think we don't know how to count?
Tanchun: This Fourth Brother Min is quite thoughtful. He can write so many articles just by selling wine.In the future, I want to get close to him.Alas, I'm afraid I'm going back to the countryside this time.

Xichun: Brother Min is just a country boy, why are so many people talking about him all day long?
Yingchun: This fourth brother Min, does something new. It would be very interesting if he could go and see the excitement.

Qin Keqing: The first one went to the temple and begged for Fourth Uncle Min, you must get back 1 taels.If you leave, there will be disasters and disasters in the future, and I will have no one to rely on.If I sprain my ankle, who else will hug me... Oh, why did I think of this, I am so ashamed.

Yuanyang: Fourth Master Min, it seems that everyone in this house has offended you all over the place.It seems that only the old lady and Grandma Rong want to keep you.

Yeduju, the gate.

Liu Tieshan, Liu Cheng, and Liu Tieshan's wife confronted a group of people outside the door.

The people who confronted them were a group of easy-going servants led by Jia Rong and Lai Sheng.A total of ten people.

They came to take over Jia Min's property here.

This wine shop and those pigs are good things. If you don't do anything at this time, it will be too late when others come.

"You dog slaves, you still don't get out of the way. Don't you know that we are the masters?"

Jia Rong shouted angrily again.

"We don't know who you are. Our master is Fourth Master Min. Besides, even if you are from the mansion, we are not your servants. Don't you try to act like a master in front of us."

Liu Cheng is not to be outdone.

He gets angry when he sees these people.What a piece of shit from the house.When Fourth Master Min was here, he worked from dawn to dusk all day long, working like a servant. At that time, why didn't you see anyone from your house come to help him?
"Min Lao Si can't come back, he has to go back to the countryside today. You don't have to work hard for him anymore."

Lai Sheng saw that these scumbags didn't give Jia Rong face, so he rushed to the front line by himself.

"Whether Fourth Master Min returns to the countryside or not, we don't care. However, when he left, he asked our family to look after the house, so we have to let him take care of the house."

"Although we are a farmer's family, we still understand the principle of being loyal to others when we are entrusted by others. I don't understand. Fourth Master Min is such a good person, why can't your house tolerate him? "

Liu Tieshan's wife also came up and reprimanded Lai Sheng.

"Don't think that we don't understand your thoughts. Even if the family business is to be handed over to the mansion, Fourth Master Min must come to visit. I don't understand. How about a thousand taels? He has only opened his business for a few days, and you have to ask him to hand in 1 taels. If you have the ability, why don’t you earn 1 taels yourself?”

"Are you letting go or not?"

"No, unless Fourth Master Min has something to say, no one will let you. If you don't agree, just try. See if my hammer recognizes you."

Liu Tieshan and Liu Cheng raised their hammers at the same time.

Liu Tieshan's wife also went back and took a shovel, holding it tightly in her hand.

Lai Sheng looked back at Jia Rong with a troubled expression.

Originally, he disapproved of Jia Rong's coming here, but Jia Rong was afraid that Jia Amnesty would strike first, so he forced him to bring people here to take over the winery.

Although they have confirmed that it is absolutely impossible for Jia Min to hand over 1 taels of silver.However, this wine shop is a good thing, but it is certain.No matter who it is, it is good money in their hands.

Jiao Li and Ning'er have been working here for a while, presumably Fang Zi and the others also have them, and when they take over, it will be a huge source of money.

Unexpectedly, these bumpkins refused to let go.Hate only hate, they are not servants of the mansion.If it was a slave in the mansion, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

I don't know what happened to the fourth brother Min, should he be driven away by the old man now?
