Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

By the time the three of them went back again, it was already getting late.Baoyu still remembered to buy some masks, windmills, mask figures and other gadgets from the street, otherwise Shi Xiangyun would definitely make such a fuss that he couldn't sleep.

Sure enough, when he went back to greet Jiamu, Shi Xiangyun rushed to him crying when he saw him.Baoyu hurriedly avoided.She shouted: "Brother Bao is bad! Go out and play without me! I hate you!" Mother Jia gloated at the side: "I told you to go out secretly without telling your sister!"

At that time, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun were all in the room. He was busy on weekdays, and he was not very close to these sisters. Now that he bought something, he didn't want to favor one over another, so he asked Mingyan to bring a box and laughed. Said: "I know it's my fault, so I specially bought some gadgets from outside to make amends to my sisters and sisters, everyone has a share!"

Let each of them choose some things, they are all boudoir girls, and they are still young, so naturally they have never seen these novelty things, these things brought back by Baoyu naturally made them very happy, even the crying at first Xiangyun stopped making trouble.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "This ghost can coax people!" Then she asked Baoyu, "Are you tired after going out for a day? What did you have for lunch?" I'm a little tired. Baoyu will go back to his room to rest and eat dinner in the room. I hope the ancestors will agree." Jia Mu hurriedly said: "In that case, go and rest quickly. Others don't bother him. Let him rest well."

After Baoyu confessed his crime again, he went down, and everyone here continued to chat without mentioning it.Let's say that after Baoyu returned to the courtyard, the first thing he did was to take a bath.Today I ran outside for a whole day, and rode a horse for half a day. I was sweating a lot, and my whole body was sore.Even though he has practiced the Nine Yin Manual, after all, the time is relatively short, so he still can't bear to run around for a day.

Not to mention Mingyan, she already wanted to go back to sleep.It's just that the master hasn't come back yet, so he doesn't dare to go back first.Seeing him standing at the door with a tired face, Baoyu smiled and said, "You've been tired all day, go back and rest early. Come early tomorrow morning." Mingyan went happily.Baoyu went back to her room to wash.

After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, he looked at his 2000 taels, and thought that he would be halfway out tomorrow, which really hurts!He thought to himself: "When I earn money, 900 taels are nothing! 9000 taels are not a problem!" Finally, he hypnotized himself to feel better.After taking a hot bath, he became sleepy. He couldn't even remember to eat, so he collapsed on the pillow and fell asleep.

Sleep soundly all night.When he woke up the next morning, he stretched his waist greatly. The lack of energy from yesterday was finally over!After getting up and boxing in the yard, and breathing out for another half an hour, the whole person was immediately full of energy.After eating a few mouthfuls of sugar and japonica rice porridge, he called Mingyan who had been waiting by the side to the room, and counted nine 100 taels of banknotes to him: "This is 900 taels, go and send it to yesterday." Go to the Zhuangzi, tell that gentleman to pack up and move out as soon as possible."

After Mingyan had gone, he wrote a letter in his room, and then called Hoyao: "Take this letter to the mansion of Mrs. Lin in Yangzhou by a messenger, and give it to Mrs. Lian." After explaining these things, there is Xiangyun brought his sisters to play with him, but he couldn't resist, so he had to accompany him, but it was limited to saying a word or two and smiling.

Two or three days later, Shi Xiangyun's family sent someone to pick her up.Although she was unwilling in every way, she had no choice but to leave.Baoyu felt that the world was finally quieter.

Half a month later, a letter from outside said that the newly purchased Zhuangzi had been tidied up, and all the equipment in the store had been bought. Baoyu could finally relax for a while and concentrate on practicing.Of course, the money that was not much in the first place was almost spent.This made Baoyu very distressed, and felt that he was too inexperienced to save money.

He told He Bofu'er and others not to take any action for the time being, and to wait for Jia Lian to come back and bring back the buddies from Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places before officially opening.On the one hand, let Mingyan take the flower craftsmen to Zhuangzi, and transplant more flower seedlings in the other courtyard. It is best to create a large flower field dedicated to all kinds of flowers.

After a few days of busy work, Jia Lian's letter arrived again.It said that they had been in Hangzhou for a few days, and it would be Sister Feng's birthday in a few days, and he planned to leave after celebrating her birthday.He also said that he had already bought more than [-] clever and sensible young men, all of whom were twelve or thirteen years old, and five chefs who could cook dishes with local flavors. When the time came, they would bring them back together so that Baoyu could start to change them. things in their room.

Baoyu replied that he knew everything, and asked gossipingly if he had tossed out the little baby and asked him to wish Sister Feng a happy birthday on his behalf.

The next day, he ordered Jia Lian's men to start moving things out.Mrs. Jia Muwang and others also asked, so he told them according to the original rhetoric, while asking them to do things in a more secretive way.With Baoyu's green light, tea, tobacco and medicine were dealt with, and things went smoothly.

Come and go, winter is here.When the first snow fell, Sister Jia Lian and Feng finally came back.Baoyu has also practiced to the chapter of changing muscles and strengthening bones.

Because of practicing internal strength, he has become much stronger. Although Baoyu was handsome in the past, he was a bit girlish after all. This is also a genetic problem.Since practicing martial arts, her own temperament has changed. Now Baoyu has lost her delicacy, and has a handsome feeling, and her stature has also increased a lot.

This surprised his family members who saw him every day, not to mention Jia Lian and Sister Feng who had been away for four or five months.The family reunited and had a good year.

After the Lantern Festival, Sister Feng has good news.

This made Jialian, Baoyu, Jiamu and others very happy!Jia's mother was looking forward to her great-grandchildren as soon as possible, but Jia Lian Baoyu thought that the first child would probably be Qiao's son. Jia Lian was naturally not a patriarchal person, so he didn't care about these things.

Jia Lian took care of Sister Feng every day, watched her make up the right amount of body, and helped her for a walk every day, protecting her like precious porcelain.Also, Jia Amnesty wanted to take advantage of Sister Feng's pregnancy to give him a few concubines. Behind his back, his teeth itch with hatred.

Jia Lian told Sister Feng about the matter as early as when she was out, and she was very receptive. Not only did she not feel afraid, but her relationship with Jia Lian became better and better.The mood is good, and the body is also good. Jia Lian asked the doctor he hired to take the pulse every few days, and they all said that her baby was sitting very firmly.Jia Lian's mood has always been sunny.

One day, Baoyu came to talk to him and said, "Spring is here, and all the flowers on my farm are in full bloom. The shop assistants have all been trained, and I think it's almost ready to open."

It turned out that Jia Lian brought back more than [-] boys, and Baoyu let five or six of them settle in the room behind the shop to familiarize them with the process of making rouge, and specially asked Qingwen to dress up as a man to teach them in person.It's been a few months now, and I can get used to it proficiently.

The remaining ones, together with the cooks, were allowed to go to another courtyard for the time being, where they could clean the house and plant flowers. Baoyu also went to get acquainted with them from time to time, and bought people's hearts.If there is no accident, this is his first batch of his own staff and confidantes.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It is indeed time to open. We have been preparing for it since last year, and now we can finally show our skills." Baoyu said: "Then let's choose a good day and officially open. Let's do some promotional activities and let us Play the sign!"

Jia Lian said, "Have you thought about a name?" Baoyu said, "I've thought of one, but I don't know if it's good. I told you, don't laugh at me!" Jia Lian laughed and said, "Which one of us is with whom! Can I still laugh at you? Tell me quickly!"

"How about calling it 'Qunfang Pavilion'? It means that those who come in to sell rouge are beauties." Baoyu said.

"Well, how does it sound like the name of a brothel?" Jia Lian read it again, telling the truth.

Baoyu's face fell suddenly: "Ah?! Really? What should I do then? I can't remember the name!"

Jia Lian said: "I have one. How about Baihualou? When the time comes, the publicity can also say that the rouge in our shop is [-]% made of flowers, not lead powder. It is both visual and easy to believe. It can leave a deep impression. !"

As soon as Baoyu heard it, he said happily: "This name is good! That's it! You are smart, I didn't know how to name it when I was young, and it didn't take long to write a paper at that time, but I can think of a few names. God! It's too difficult!"

So not long after, a rouge shop named Baihualou opened.Not long after it was born, it swept the business of major rouge shops, because the rouge it makes is hundreds of times better than ordinary ones, the color is bright, and it is sweet and fragrant when applied to the face.The powder is not lead powder either, it has a light white and red fragrance, and is beautiful in all four aspects, and it is easy to spread evenly on the surface.And it can moisturize the skin, unlike other powdery greens that are heavy and astringent.

The items in this store have become the first choice of women in Shangdu. Over time, even the wives of various palaces began to send people to sell rouge and gouache from here, and once they bought it, they would pay a lot of money.For a while, the name of Baihualou was extremely famous in the capital, and it also made countless businessmen turn red with envy.

Baoyu, the boss behind the scenes, made a lot of money in a short period of time!

The author has something to say: I was too busy yesterday and didn't have time to update it. Today I let Baoyu make money, which is an apology to everyone!Poke in quickly!
