Five hundred and seventy-five: An excuse to run away
Jia Jing said with a gloomy face: "This time they went too far and did not follow the rules! They are like this and they still want to kill them all! I just want to tell them clearly that as long as I, Jia Jing, are here, they want to do whatever they want. That’s a dream!”
Daiyu comforted her softly: "Okay, we don't understand the things outside even if you tell us, why are you sulking?"
Jia Jing was silent for a moment and then stood up and said: "No, I still can't worry about Wang Ziteng. I have to go and talk to him in person!"
Daiyu heard this and said quickly: "Eldest sister said that we should go together. Even Baoyu is here, why don't you go?"
Give him a hammer!
This morning, the Jia sisters and Baoyu came over, saying that Yuanchun wanted to invite them to have breakfast together, and also called Jia Jing. How could Jia Jing be willing? So he had been looking for an opportunity to find an excuse to run away. Way to go!
Just when Qingfeng came in and mentioned this matter, Jia Jing took the opportunity to make an excuse, saying that there were many things outside, so wouldn't it be good to forget about this matter because of her busy schedule?
Daiyu pulled Jia Jing and said: "Sister, you are summoned, how dare you not go?" Jia Jing spread her hands and said: "There is nothing I can do, I have something to be busy with here!"
Tanchun on the side heard this and said very sadly: "I'm sorry, second brother..." In theory, Wang Ziteng was actually her uncle, but Tanchun was a concubine, so it didn't count, and Baoyu on the side He is the nephew of the serious Wang Ziteng!
Jia Jing was worried about Wang Ziteng, while Baoyu looked as if nothing had happened. Seeing that Jia Jing wanted to trouble Wang Ziteng, she still looked indifferent. On the contrary, Tanchun felt a little ashamed...
Jia Jing said helplessly: "What does it have to do with you? I just went to give instructions..." Actually, no, Jia Jing clearly went to beat Wang Ziteng and asked him to be more honest and not to move at this time. What a crooked idea!
Jia Jing stood up and said: "Then let's do this for now. Just tell your eldest sister that I really have something to do and I can't leave. It's enough for you to accompany me. Why do you have to drag me along?"
Daiyu opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing. After all, things outside were more important, but she was actually a little angry in her heart. They hadn't had a meal together for a long time!
Women, although they know in their hearts what they should and should not do, and they also know to do serious things first, but in the end, their emotions are heavier and more perceptual, and their brains know, but it does not prevent people from being wronged...
So he watched Jia Jing run away without saying a word. Baoyu "lived" after seeing Jia Jing leave. Jia Jing's brother's majesty was really too much for him. When Jia Jing was here, he was basically He doesn't talk much.
Baoyu smiled and said to Daiyu: "Since the second brother can't go, forget it. It's because he has no luck. Let's just go to ours."
If Jia Jing doesn't go, Daiyu is actually not very interested anymore, but after all, it is the princess who has been summoned, and she is not as bold as Jia Jing to say no and not go!
So Daiyu looked around and said: "Where is the fourth girl?" Everyone looked at each other, Yingchun thought for a while and said: "It seems that I haven't seen her since last night..."
Tanchun looked strange and said, "Isn't it because I haven't woken up yet?" Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Daiyu shook her head and said, "Then you go to Sister Bao first, and I'll go to find the fourth girl."
Everyone had no choice but to do this first and went their separate ways. Baoyu originally wanted to follow Daiyu to find Xichun, but Tanchun took him away. When Baoyu was dissatisfied, Tanchun rolled his eyes and said:
"The fourth girl is in her own Champs Elysees. She might still be sleeping at this time. Is it appropriate for you to go in at this time?"
When Baoyu heard this, he could only look at Daiyu's disappearing back with regret, then touched his nose angrily, and caught up with Tanchun and the others to find Baochai...
Over there, Daiyu walked to the Champs Elysees. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Ru Hua packing things for toiletries. She was stunned when she saw Daiyu come in. Then when she was about to call someone, Daiyu quietly raised her index finger to her mouth.
While making a gesture, he looked back at Xichun, smiled, nodded and went out.
Daiyu gently touched the bedside of Xichun, and saw Xiao Xichun leaning towards the bedside, her little shoulders twitching, and she whispered softly with a mouth full of laughter: "Bad brother! Stinky brother! You're so angry.
I hate it! I hate it! I hate it so much! Woohoo~"
Daiyu listened in a funny way, Xichun's shoulders twitched, and she looked very sad. In Daiyu's eyes, Xichun seemed to be lying there, and a light suddenly appeared in the sky and shone on her. There was darkness all around, except for Xichun.
Desolate back,,,,
"I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'll never talk to him again from now on! Wuwuwu~"
Although it was a little funny, in Daiyu's eyes, Xichun's whole body seemed to be filled with the feeling of "I am a lonely little cabbage with no one to care for and no one to love"... It still made Daiyu very sad.
Distressed.
Xichun was probably tired of crying, so she stretched out her hand behind her and said, "Come into the painting, here, change me an embroidered handkerchief!" Daiyu couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the soaked embroidered handkerchief in Xichun's hand.
Xichun was startled when he heard no one responded behind him, but instead sighed. He turned around and saw that it was Daiyu. He quickly stood up and sniffed, then lowered his head and wiped his tears and said: "Lin
Sister, you, why are you here?"
When Daiyu saw Xichun's face, she couldn't help being frightened. She sat down distressedly, took out the handkerchief from her arms, held Xichun's shoulders distressedly and said, "Ouch! Why are you crying like this?
"Come, sister-in-law, I'll wipe it for you..."
Xiao Xichun's eyes were as swollen as peaches, and her complexion was not very good. She looked like she had been crying all night!
Daiyu could not help but feel distressed as she wiped her tears and said, "Does it hurt? You silly girl, why didn't you say anything when you were wronged? You are just crying here. If you cry to death, who will feel sorry for you?"
Xichun felt even more aggrieved when she saw Daiyu was so gentle and greeted her in a soft voice. She cried loudly and threw herself into Daiyu's arms.
This frightened Daiyu. She quickly patted Xichun's back gently and said, "What's going on? Who dares to wrong you? If you tell me, your brother won't be able to spare him!"
Xichun "complained" aggrievedly: "That's the brother!" Daiyu was stunned, brother? Jia Jing? I can't let it go! Jia Jing is very fond of Xichun, which can be seen from the attitudes of the two houses towards Xichun.
Come out! Is Jia Jing willing to give up to Xichun?
Xichun cried and sobbed: "Brother, brother scolded me! I, I obviously didn't do anything, so I was just talking to him nicely, and then he suddenly scolded me! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Daiyu saw Xichun's aggrieved look and hugged her for a while to comfort her, but she still couldn't stop Xichun's crying. Daiyu had no choice but to say: "When he comes back, sister will take you to find him."
Is it okay if he raises an army to investigate the crime? Stop crying now. You are crying like this. Your body and bones cannot bear it! Those who cry will also feel sour in their hearts..."
Only then did Xichun stop crying, and Daiyu told Xichun that Yuanchun wanted to treat them to breakfast. Xichun originally didn't want to go, but Xichun had been going with her sisters since she was a child. At this time, she heard that everyone had gone
, Xichun was too embarrassed not to go.
So he asked Daiyu to wait for a while, and Xichun called Ru Hua. After washing up again, he followed Daiyu to Hengwu Courtyard to find Xue Baochai.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Aunt Xue was there. When Baochai saw Daiyu coming, he smiled and said, "I just guessed that you must be here to find me!"
Daiyu smiled and raised her cigarette eyebrows slightly, and said to Baochai with a smile: "Why don't I know when you will be able to pinch it?"
Baochai smiled and nodded her smooth forehead, then slashed at Xichun who was standing aside, but was stunned for a moment. Looking at Xichun's little face that had obviously just cried, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes...
Daiyu glanced at Baochai with a smile, then sat down at Aunt Xue's call, and smiled at everyone: "Why are you still sitting here? Let me tell you, let's go as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be long.
Auntie and the others are afraid they will have to leave food behind!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I dare not compete with the princess for this host!" Daiyu and others all laughed and were ready to stand up and leave.
Baochai was a little hesitant at this time. Daiyu was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and then Tanchun explained: "Sister Bao's second uncle is coming, and Sister Bao may have to go to the pier to pick him up, so...
…”
Daiyu nodded understandingly when she heard this, but Aunt Xue smiled at Baochai at this time: "My dear, you'd better go with your sisters. Since your eldest sister said she was looking for you, what's missing?"
You're not good either."
Hearing this, Baochai hesitated slightly and said: "But..." Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I will just ask Pan'er to deal with your second uncle's affairs. You go and do your work first."
Come on, when you come back, your second uncle and the others should be back too."
When Baochai heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then everyone chatted and laughed and went to Yihongyuan where Yuanchun now lives.
When everyone entered Yihong Courtyard, they saw Yuan Chun sitting on his seat. Just as everyone was about to salute, Yuan Chun hurriedly called them up, and then stood up with joy. He glanced at the crowd and found no familiar figure...
Yuanchun was immediately disappointed, but because he was afraid that they would find out, Yuanchun concealed it well and invited everyone to sit down with a smile. Yuanchun then began to inquire about Jia Jing's whereabouts.
Daiyu then smiled and said: "Sister, don't worry about him. He has a lot of things to do. He was called out early this morning. He ran away before we had time to tell him about it. When he comes back, he will be punished."
Punish him!"
Yuan Chun narrowed his eyes and glanced at Daiyu. This kind of intimate tone sounded like a wife explaining to outsiders why her husband did not attend, and she also tried to eliminate the other party's displeasure with Jia Jing's inability to attend. Haha
, a good wife…………
Yuanchun felt more and more uncomfortable, and Daiyu also blinked her eyes in confusion. Why did she feel... There was something wrong with the way my elder sister looked at me?
Yuanchun regained his soft smile in a second, which made Daiyu a little confused, thinking that she had just made a mistake!
The banquet ended in a dull way, and Yuanchun had no intention of keeping them. Her original purpose was actually to go to Jia Jing. Jia Jing didn't come, so what's the point?
So everyone came out to do their own things, but Baochai took the opportunity to stop Daiyu and said: "Zi'er, wait, come with me, I have something to ask you."
Daiyu's face was full of questions, and then she comforted Xichun and told Xichun to go back and rest first, while she followed Baochai. Aunt Xue had already gone home, so Baochai and Ying'er were the only ones in Hengwu Garden at this time.
Daiyu looked at Baochai curiously, wanting to know what she wanted from her. After Baochai glanced at her, he leisurely sat on the couch and said: "Zi'er, kneel down, I want to interrogate you."

……………
Anyone who is familiar with the Shenjing City Pier basically knows that today’s Pier is no longer the domain of the Cao Bang, but the world of the Luo Bang!
However, the Capital Pier that changed its owner cannot help but not be as vibrant as it once was. Instead, it has become darker and more lawless! If you hadn't told others, others would have thought this was Beicheng!
As for the wharf, there are only two types of people coming and going, tourists and wealthy businessmen. The coolies working on the wharf are not included. And since the Luo Gang took control of the wharf, the security of the wharf has become worse day by day!
It turns out that when the Cao Gang was here, how many of them, no matter they were from the three religions, thieves, bandits, money makers, Qianmen, or local gangsters, dared to come to the pier to cause trouble? Dare to come to the pier to set up an array?
It's okay now. When you come out of the pier, it's not a big deal to lose your wallet. You're just afraid that someone will touch your underwear!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But any woman must not go to the dock by herself. If she doesn't get a cup of tea, she will "disappear into thin air"!
You have to tighten your grip on someone else's child when you carry it across the pier. Maybe if you turn your head, the child will be gone!
It can be said that the current wharf is a mixed bag of three religions and nine streams, and there is no peace in the river and sea like when the Cao Gang was in charge!
Once an external threat is encountered, the weakness of the Cao Gang's large but loose power is exposed. The coolies at the dock are just for a living. They don't care who is in charge, as long as they can continue to eat on the dock.
, they will recognize whoever is the boss!
The life of the coolies has not changed much, but the merchants who come and go are complaining! There is no commercial tax in Dayan, and the tax on merchants in Dayan is only the cost of passing through the port. Nowadays, all goods passing through the dock must not only pay
The government pays a portion of the port tax, and an equally large portion of this tax must be paid to the Luobang chief helmsman!
It turns out that when Caobang was in charge, as long as you paid 20% of the tax, and you handed over all the money to Caobang, Caobang could provide you with one-stop services! I don’t know how worry-free and effort-saving it is!
What now? Not only do they have to go back to the yamen of the Ministry of Revenue to pay taxes, but they also have to pay Luo Bang the same amount of filial piety! Not to mention how troublesome it is to deal with those officials, let’s just say that we give the money to
You didn't do anything for us!
That's it. In addition, you have to pay the warehousing fee separately! Although Caobang originally also charged this fee, they have dedicated personnel to look after and maintain it, and once you pay it, they will take care of it until the day you pick up the goods!
Where's the Luo Gang? Huh! I can't help but throw it into the warehouse without supervision, and I have to pay it every day! The money I make in one day is more than what the Caobang makes in a month!
Despite this, for a city as big as Shenjing, there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and it is impossible to carry goods wherever they go. Moreover, as long as they dock at the capital dock, it is inevitable that Luo Bang will be involved, so even if
No matter how reluctant you are, if you want to do business in Shenjing, you can only grit your teeth and admit it!
But today's goods, the Luo Gang couldn't help but dare not accept payment, and the leader of the Luo Gang, Weng Fuyan, personally watched the goods being put into the warehouse! From disembarking to putting the goods into the warehouse, it was all completed in the middle of the night. When dawn came, Weng Fuyan also specifically asked
Man, use black cloth to cover all these goods tightly to make sure that no one can know the existence of these goods!
Weng Fuyan sat where Pan Jian had been sitting, drinking tea leisurely. The master beside him smiled flatteringly and said: "Gang leader, this batch of goods you are talking about...why are they so precious? What is inside that is unique?"
Qizhen, please give me a break, and we will learn more from the gang leader, right?"
Weng Fuyan glanced at him, then snorted and said to him: "Stop playing such nonsense with me, it's actually nothing to tell you, but if word gets out, this thing on your head will be taken off and used as a chamber pot."
stop!"
The master shrank his neck in fear, Weng Fuyan put down the tea cup and said: "If it is really leaked, not only you, but also me, I will have to follow...Kacha!"
Weng Fuyan stretched out his palm and touched his neck, which frightened the master and said quickly: "I can't stop...then you'd better not tell me."
Weng Fuyan laughed and said: "Actually, it's not a treasure, it's just a few large ships of grain and grass sent by those people from the south." The master was even more confused when he heard this: "Grain and grass? What are you doing with so much effort to collect so much grain and grass? Could it be?
Want to take advantage of the fact that the major grain stores in the capital are not doing business?"
Weng Fuyan smiled mysteriously, lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "This food is not sold here." The master smiled and said: "Then I'm really lost in the lake, gang leader, with such food, if we
I cut Hu off and sell it at this moment...Ah!"
The master's greedy face was immediately wiped out by Weng Fuyan's slap. The master fell to the ground and covered his face, quickly got up and knelt down and kowtowed: "Gang leader, please have mercy! Gang leader, have mercy! I'm too talkative! I'm too talkative!"
Weng Fuyan sneered and said: "You! You really want money rather than life! Do you dare to reach out for anything?" The master nodded repeatedly and said: "The gang leader taught you a lesson! I will never dare to do it again! I will never dare to do it again!"
Weng Fuyan glanced at him coldly, and then said leisurely: "This grain is not for sale. In a few days, it will be returned to others intact!"
