The Demon Girl of the Red Chamber

"okay!"

Jia Lian interrupted Qin Niang's words a little irritably, looked at the woman standing in front of him with a charming face; said impatiently: "Don't talk so much nonsense with me, Qin Niang, you have talked so much; Isn't it all for the money of the master? Be happy and give the count directly to the master; how much money do you need from the master before you are willing to let the master leave? "

If it was normal, Jia Lian would be in a good mood, and maybe she would tease Qinniang a few times; but this time, Jia Lian's handsome face, which he is usually proud of, cough cough cough... the nose is bruised and the face is swollen from being beaten by Wang Yunzhi. Can't tell that the face in front of him is his usual handsome and handsome appearance.

With such a bruised nose and swollen and colorful face, it's really strange that Jia Lian would be in the mood to argue with Qin Niang.

Qin Niang doesn't think too much about Jia Lian's bad attitude at all, she is a pampered son-in-law; now he is beaten like a pig's head, you should also be considerate of his mood.

Besides...their Qinxiang Pavilion opened its doors to do business, so it was naturally the uncle who gave the money; my mother had repeatedly told me this point as early as the first day I entered the brothel; and the reason why Qinxiang Pavilion's business was so good , is it also one of the reasons why he treats the masters like this.

Not to mention that Jia Lian is still polite when talking to her now, even if Jia Lian said something even worse; to Qinniang, it is just a trivial matter, the most important thing is... Jia Lian is willing to pay this sum of compensation Fee is fine.

"Second Master Lian is really generous, quick words, and mother Qin likes to deal with people like you, Second Master Lian."

Qin Niang smiled unhurriedly at Jia Lian, then reached out to take a list respectfully handed over by the little maid behind her; handed it to Jia Lian, and said with a smile.

"Second Master Lian, this is the list of the destroyed objects in my Qinxiang Pavilion just calculated by the servants below; all the losses of the Qinxiang Pavilion are clearly listed on it, if you think there is no problem with Second Master Lian; we Let’s move on to the issue of compensation.”

What Qinniang said, Jia Lian didn't have the heart to continue listening now; now Jia Lian's thoughts were all on the list Qinniang handed him, to be more precise; Jia Lian's eyes were fixed on The place where it is written is at the back of the list, the one who should pay the huge amount of silver to Qinxiangguan.

What the hell!

Jia Lian stared at the last number on the list without blinking, one...two...five, and there were five zeros behind; he really wanted to say that he must have misread it.

Didn't he just have a fight with that damned Wang Yunzhi of the Wang family?Unexpectedly... Hell, he wanted to compensate Qinxiang Pavilion for 10,000+ taels of silver. Jia Lian was going to faint right now.

If he hadn't been concerned about his own face, he really wished he could yell at him right now; it's a lie, isn't it just a fight?He dared to cheat the master of 10,000+ taels of silver, did he really think that Jia Lian is a soft persimmon;

For a moment, Jia Lian's face was gloomy and a little scary, and his whole body was even more hostile; except for Qin Niang who was still standing calmly not far from Jia Lian, everyone took a few steps back unconsciously; The distance between Jia Lian became further, and soon a large vacuum area appeared around Jia Lian.

Qinniang is a woman who is very good at reading people's eyes, she can see Jia Lian's not very good face at a glance; after a little turn of her mind, Qinniang guessed it immediately; she was probably shocked by the huge amount of compensation behind her list .

"Second Master Lian, is there something wrong with this list?" Qin Niang is a smart woman, so naturally she wouldn't just mention it to Jia Lian so directly; she turned a corner and said, "If Second Master Lian you If you think something is wrong, you can tell Niang Qin, and Niang Qin can explain it to Second Master Lian herself."

Although Jia Lian was very angry in his heart, when he glanced over the entire list very quickly, he had to admit that this Qinxiang Pavilion really didn't mean to speak loudly; every amount of compensation that needed to be compensated was recorded. It was very clear that the other party did not intend to charge him more money.

And Jia Lian has carefully noticed that among all the compensation amounts, the one that needs the highest compensation is the most frightening loss at night when Qinxiang Pavilion cannot do business these days.

But Jia Lian thought about it, and immediately understood the meaning of this; after all, the Qinxiang Pavilion is a brothel, and as the name suggests, the brothel does business at night; and the Qinxiang Pavilion is different from other brothels, but it It is also open during the day; if this is the case, the loss will be a lot of money.

"no need."

Jia Lian said coldly: "However, I don't have so much silver with me at the moment. How about I send someone to deliver the silver to Niang Qin?"

"This is of course no problem."

Qin Niang smiled and nodded, Qin Niang could understand what Jia Lian said; it would not be surprising for a dude like Jia Lian to carry a few hundred taels of silver with him when he went out, or thousands of taels of silver.

As for the 10,000+ taels so much, no one would carry so much taels on their body for no reason!

Qin Niang smiled and said: "But Second Master Lian, you have to be considerate and considerate of this concubine, after all, this Qinxiang Pavilion is not a concubine's decision alone; and Second Master Lian, you have such a huge sum of money here. Silver taels, so can you please ask Erye Lian to write down his name on this bill?"

Qin Niang waved her hand, and the servants at the side handed over the pre-prepared bill to Qin Niang, while Qin Niang handed the bill to Jia Lian in front of Jia Lian.

It was the first time for Jia Lian to encounter such humiliation; but what Qin Niang said was reasonable, even though Jia Lian was full of resentment, she could only bear the loss of being dumb.

I really lost all face today, but our second master Lian forgot; as early as the moment he was beaten by Wang Yunzhi, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he had already lost all face; is it interesting to worry about these things now? ?

"Isn't it just 10,000+ taels of silver?" Jia Lian wrote down his name on the invoice, and said coldly to Qinniang: "Don't worry, our Rongguo Mansion is not short of the 10,000+ taels of silver; not a cent will give you less."

Qin Niang didn't care about Jia Lian who was full of anger, but kept a faint smile on her face: "Second Master Lian said very well, the great business of the Rongguo Mansion family naturally wouldn't care about the mere 10,000+ taels of silver. , but we are only running a small business and can't afford to lose such a large sum of money; so... Second Master Lian, I am here to apologize to you, Second Master Lian; what happened just now was unavoidable, I am really sorry!"

Looking at Qinniang's exquisite and watertight appearance, Jia Lian snorted coldly; flicked the brush in his hand, and took Xing'er, master and servant, away.

Here, as soon as Jia Lian and Xing'er's master and servant left the Qinxiang Pavilion, Qin Niang immediately collected the debt that Jia Lian had written her name on just now; and then handed it to a servant beside her.

"Send this invoice to the master immediately, and tell the master that the matter has been settled; the prey has fallen into the trap, and the net can be collected at any time."

Qin Niang said coldly, the smile on her face had long since disappeared; at this moment, Qin Niang's face still had a bit of wind and dust.

"Yes, the little one will go right away."

…………

Rongguofu!

Mrs. Jia, Jia She, Jia Zheng's mother and son, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing's two sisters-in-law; all the masters and sons of the Rongguo Mansion gathered in the Rongxi Hall.

In the past few days, the maids and mother-in-law in Rongxi Hall have long been accustomed to such scenes, and they are no strangers to it; everyone in the Hefu knows that the second grandma Lian in the mansion left the mansion a few days ago in anger; There is not even a person who is in charge of the house, and the house has long been in a mess.

Thinking about it, it is true, since Wang Xifeng married into Rongguo Mansion; within a few months, she began to assist Mrs. Wang in housekeeping and take care of the huge Rongguo Mansion.

Although in name, Wang Xifeng only assists her aunt Mrs. Wang in running the house; but in reality?Wang Xifeng is not in charge of all the big and small matters of the whole family; except for the fact that the money is not in Wang Xifeng's hands, let me put it bluntly; the person who has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion these years is indeed Wang Xifeng. with.

For so many years, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, have long been accustomed to being pampered, and suddenly Wang Xifeng let go; cough, cough... Although Wang Xifeng had gradually handed over the power of the family before this, But once Mrs. Wang encountered something that she couldn't solve or something that was too troublesome, she would still go to Wang Xifeng to solve it.

Where is it like it is now, Wang Xifeng put down the burden as soon as he said it, and left without any politeness, which made Mrs. Wang immediately become passive.

There is no one to discuss matters in the mansion, so it’s no wonder it’s not overwhelmed; it’s no wonder that after the past few days, I took a closer look at Mrs. Wang who is usually well-maintained; recently she has been haggard for a long time, and she looks old More than a few years old.

As for Madam Xing?

Hehe... This Mrs. Xing has no right to speak at all in Rongguo Mansion, and as for the head of the house or not, she has no part in it.

After Wang Xifeng left, Mrs. Wang realized how much trouble she had saved by having Wang Xifeng help her in the mansion. Except for Mrs. Wang, don't be a second person.

So in the past few days, a strange phenomenon has appeared in Rongguo Mansion. Almost every day, Mrs. Jia, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, mother and son (mother-in-law, husband and wife, brothers, sister-in-law) will gather together; They discussed how to bring Wang Xifeng back to Rongguo Mansion.

Of course, there is also Jia Lian who is usually there, but today Jia Lian went out of the house to relax; so he did not show up absent.

"Why didn't you see Lian'er today?" Although the old lady Jia was the oldest, she was the shrewdest; she was the first to notice that Jia Lian hadn't appeared, and her expression turned a little ugly.

Cough, cough... Actually, ever since the Rongguo Mansion became the laughing stock of the whole capital, Mrs. Jia's face has never looked good.
