Episode No.60
In the evening, Xue Pan came home for dinner.
Although Zhou Lang knew from Xue Baochai's memory that it was the Qing Dynasty and everyone had braided heads, but when he really saw Xue Pan coming in with half of his hair on his head, he still wanted to laugh out loud.
However, Aunt Xue was still sitting on the side, Zhou Lang knew that he couldn't play with Xue Baochai's elegant and well-behaved image.She tried to hold back the corners of her mouth, making it look like she was just smiling.
As a result, the curvature of the corner of the mouth was just right, but the cheeks were distorted.
Ying'er looked at Zhou Lang strangely, thinking that she was not feeling well, but when she was about to ask, Zhou Lang stopped her.
When Aunt Xue saw her precious son, she didn't have time to see how Zhou Lang was doing, she just kept asking Xue Pan to sit down to eat, and called Yinglian to serve Xue Pan.
Yinglian was still young, and was sold around since she was a child, and was finally taken as a concubine by Xue Pan, the overlord, so her character became even more timid.
She wiped Xue Pan's face with a washbasin, but Xue Pan moved his hands and feet, teasing in front of everyone without any scruples.Yinglian was about to cry.
Zhou Lang couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly pulled Yinglian aside, and said, "Brother, if you don't eat, the food will be cold." Then he pulled Yinglian to sit beside him, "Let's eat together, so you don't have to go back to eat cold food." vegetable."
Xue Pan likes Yinglian and doesn't mind eating with her.He made a fuss for a while, glanced at Yinglian a few times, and finally picked up the wine glass and chopsticks.
Aunt Xue liked Yinglian very much, but Yinglian was also considered her little daughter-in-law, and she felt a little unhappy if she didn't take good care of Xue Pan.But Zhou Lang took Yinglian to eat with her. Aunt Xue loved her daughter very much and didn't want to touch her face, so she also picked up chopsticks to eat.He just brought food to Xue Pan from time to time, and kept asking him how he was going out these days, almost coaxing Xue Pan like a child.
Xue Pan was really a child, he vaguely said anything to Aunt Xue, but after hearing a few words, he became impatient, so he just talked to Yinglian Zhou Lang.
Zhou Lang forced a smile and said a few words.Although Xue Pan treats his younger sister very well, but his character is really a bit problematic!Especially after living in Jia's house, being taken with him was even worse.
Even though Zhou Lang really wanted to straighten Xue Pan right away, he still had to hold back temporarily for various reasons.
After eating, several people drank tea and chatted.
"Brother, did we ask someone to clean our own house?" Zhou Lang deliberately mentioned this matter.
When Xue Pan first came to live in Jia's house, he was very reluctant.With Jia Zheng under his control, how could he be free and happy at home!
However, Jia's family has too many sluts, and Xue Pan took Xue Pan to eat, drink and play for a few days, Xue Pan felt that Jia's family was a treasure land, and he didn't want to leave.
"Sister, Jia's family is very nice. Let's live here? Why bother cleaning the house? It's troublesome to move things around." Xue Pan said nonchalantly after drinking two glasses of wine.
Zhou Lang was anxious, but he could only pretend to be careless and smiled: "Auntie's house is good, but we have a lot of things in our house, and we put them in this small yard. How can we let go? Brother has many friends, if you want to invite someone to come Come play at home, this small yard is not convenient!"
When Aunt Xue heard this, she became anxious, and said angrily, "Why do you encourage your brother to play? You still live at your aunt's house, and Pan'er is so well-behaved with your uncle in charge!" She then persuaded Xue Pan: "Listen to your uncle. If so, don't run around!"
Xue Pan vaguely agreed, but thought in his heart, why should he run around outside?It is also a lot of fun to go shopping on the street in front of the door with Jia's nephew!
Seeing that Aunt Xue was a little angry, Zhou Lang hurriedly explained: "Mom, that's not what I meant! My brother studies every day now, and he also has some friends in his classmates. If he is not in school, it would be inconvenient to ask someone to study at home together!"
After hearing this, Aunt Xue calmed down slightly, thought for a while, and nodded thoughtfully.
Zhou Lang saw that there was a door open, so he continued to encourage: "Mom, why don't we clean out the house first, and put the unused things there first. When my brother wants to study with his friends, we can have a quiet time." place."
Aunt Xue was still a little unhappy, and muttered: "Your aunt's house is so big, it's not like there's no place for gatherings! Your uncle often invites people into the house as guests."
"Mom, this isn't the Xue family!" Zhou Lang was really going to die of anger, why did Aunt Xue regard the Jia family as her own!
Seeing that Aunt Xue couldn't make sense, Zhou Lang simply pretended to be angry, and wiped away tears that didn't exist with a small handkerchief.
"Mom, I still have to go to select talented people! If I invite others to be guests in the future, and the one who comes is my aunt's, how can I have face!"
"Oh, there are so many houses in our house. My sister can clean it up if she wants to, right? She can live at my aunt's house!" Although Xue Pan is stupid, he loves his sister very much. Hastily said to Zhou Lang: "Tomorrow I will choose a house closer to Jia's mansion, tidy it up, and use it as a garden for you to play in, okay?"
Aunt Xue was embarrassed and didn't interrupt Xue Pan's words.My daughter has always been ascetic and doesn't like flashy things. Now she suddenly has to tidy up the house. She thought it was because of Xue Pan, but after hearing about it, she realized that it was her own wanting a party garden.
Probably because he looked at the garden of Rongguo Mansion and envied that the girls of Jia's family could play in the garden, right?
After thinking about it, Aunt Xue made a final decision, "Okay, then clean up!"
Although the Jia family is powerful, the Xue family is also a wealthy imperial businessman, why should Xue's daughter envy the Jia family!
Zhou Langcai doesn't care what Aunt Xue and Xue Pan think, she just cares about achieving her goal.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is better to go out of the house to go shopping!
"Brother, you are too busy studying and taking care of outside affairs. I will take care of the cleaning of the house. The house I clean up will be comfortable for you to live in!" Zhou Lang said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay!" Xue Pan didn't disagree with what my sister said, and nodded in a blink of an eye, and said cheerfully, "I'll send you some people. We can build whatever kind of house you want. Don’t be afraid of not having enough money, just pay in the account.”
Aunt Xue was in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped her: "How can this be done? You are a girl, how can you take care of the house repair outside?" Thinking about money, although Xue's family looks rich, it has actually fallen a lot.She wanted to mention it, but because of Xue Pan's face, she didn't dare to mention it, so she said: "There is no need to pay the money to the account. If it is not enough, we can use the cash in our hands."
Zhou Lang laughed happily now, and said: "Mom, just don't worry, I will wear men's clothes when I go out, or I will take more family members to protect me when I go out, so others will not bump into me." Then he asked Aunt Xue and Xue Pan: " How come it costs tens of thousands of taels of silver to repair a house?"
When talking about tens of thousands of taels of silver, it was actually Zhou Lang who opened his mouth.
However, Aunt Xue and Xue Pan were both rich people, and they only wanted to give Zhou Lang pocket money, so they promised each of them to take out 1 taels for Zhou Lang to use first.
2 taels is more than enough to repair a house.
The plan in Zhou Lang's heart is to find a better house, repair it, and then make a decent garden.As for the extra money, she planned to use it to open a new shop.
Xue Pan, the prodigal son, and Aunt Xue, the idiot who keeps sending money to Mrs. Wang, will ruin the Xue family's property sooner or later.Zhou Lang planned to collect some money slowly, and open some other shops to make money, so as not to ruin the Xue family.
As for why Xue Pan didn't want to take control of Xue's store, hehe, Aunt Xue, the mother of her precious son, would not agree, and Xue Pan, who only used Xue's store as a bank to withdraw money, would not agree.
Why did she bother to fight?
It's better to open another shop under the banner of Xue's family, and just say that you are making money from small troubles, so Aunt Xue and Xue Pan won't think about how much money she makes.
The next day, Zhou Lang said that he wanted to go outside to look at the house, but Aunt Xue urged her to go and play with Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu.
Zhou Lang didn't want to go, and was about to find an excuse to refuse, but Jia Baoyu came to see her.
Aunt Xue was happy and asked Baoyu to sit in the room, and asked Yinger to lead him to Zhou Lang's room.
Zhou Lang was really going to die of anger, so he hurried out with the stove in his arms, and took Jia Baoyu to the side room next to him.This side room faces Zhou Lang's bedroom, where there are many books and a needlework rack, where Zhou Lang usually stays.
Baoyu has already entered the wing room, and then led it outside. It is very cold outside, which is not good.Zhou Lang led Baoyu to sit in the ear room, and asked Yinger to make tea, and treated the guests solemnly.
Jia Baoyu was an acquaintance, and as soon as he sat down, he asked all kinds of things: "Is my sister feeling better? I have been waiting for you to come and play with me every day!"
Zhou Lang made a smirk, and thought: He is a boy in his teens, and he still wants to play with a little girl, what's his idea!
However, facing this precious lump, Zhou Lang still didn't want to make him unhappy, lest it would be unsightly.
"It's all over, and I'm thinking of playing with sister Lin in two days!"
Zhou Lang didn't mention Jia Baoyu at all, but Jia Baoyu didn't hear it either. He just kept talking about playing with sister Lin to make Zhou Lang happy.
In his heart, looking for sister Lin probably meant the same thing as looking for him, right?After all, Sister Lin lived with him in the Bisha closet in Jiamu's wing.
While talking, someone came outside and asked about choosing a house.
Zhou Lang couldn't go out, so he had to ask Ying'er to pass the word that he should choose a place with a bigger place, a quiet surrounding, a good view and easy access to the street.After thinking about it, he added: "Choose a few places to look at, and I'll make a decision after I'm optimistic about it."
The person who came to ask the question knew that Zhou Lang was not easy to fool, so he could only respectfully respond, thinking about how much money this job could make.
Xue Pan is in charge of things, and he is fooled by the people below, as long as he has money to use.
Xue Baochai was originally shrewd, but now that Zhou Lang was replaced, he knew that the people below were trying to make money, so he even pretended not to be fooled, so as not to spoil a good thing.
Jia Baoyu listened on the sidelines, very surprised, and asked directly: "Sister Bao is not living comfortably? Why do you want to clean up the house?" He was so anxious that he was about to cry, and walked out the door again, chanting as he walked. : "I'll go to the old lady, I'll go to Sister Feng, if Sister Bao is not feeling well, just tell me, I'll make trouble with them!"
Zhou Lang hurriedly stood up and pulled him back, "Don't say that the wind is the rain, how can I live badly? Everything is fine! It's as comfortable as my own home."
Jia Baoyu looked aggrieved: "Then why do you have to clean up the house again?"
Zhou Lang smiled and coaxed him: "It's not the house, but I want to tidy up a small garden so that I can play with my sisters in the future."
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, took Zhou Lang's hand, and said, "Sister Bao, please don't move away. If she does, what am I going to do?"
As soon as the words fell, the curtain was lifted, and a clear and gentle voice said: "Oh, brother said so, how can sister Bao be willing to move away!"
