Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 236 Lying to a woman is not a lie,

He lost ten thousand taels of silver for nothing. Even if he didn't get beaten up when he returned, he would have to endure Aunt Xue's crying.

Thinking of this, he thought of a good way to treat the person in his own way.

Excitedly, he slapped his forehead and immediately left a bloody handprint.

Xue Dashazi immediately ordered his men to pick up melon seeds from the ground.

Aren't her melon seeds worth 20,000 taels? I'll pick them up and give them to you, and you can give me another 10,000 taels.

Xue Pan felt that he was very smart.

When Lin Daiyu saw two servants squatting on the ground picking melon seeds, she burst out laughing.

What does this mean? Exchange melon seeds for velvet flowers.

Lin Daiyu kindly reminded them before they finished picking up the trash.

"These golden melon seeds will dissolve when they come into contact with soil. Without the golden nature, they are just ordinary melon seeds."

"Don't talk about this thing. Just pick it up and wash it. You can still eat it."

"It may not be crispy after washing, but it may be better if it is exposed to the sun!"

The onlookers around couldn't help laughing after hearing what Lin Daiyu said.

Uncle Xue's face turned pale and blue.

When the two servants heard this, they looked at Master Xue stupidly, "Master, can you pick it up?"

"Pick up your head, pick up your head."

Xue Dasha hit the two servants on the head with his left and right hands.

"Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!" Ten consecutive slaps to vent his anger, almost giving the person a concussion.

The two servants' heads were buzzing and their eyelids were swollen.

The newly picked melon seeds in my hand were scattered all over the ground again.

I heard Uncle Xue's muffled voice saying,

"Bring me the banknotes!"

"Take the photo for that girl."

Then he pointed at Lin Daiyu again, his eyes full of resentment and anger.

"Be careful."

Still feeling unsatisfied, he continued to threaten, "I will remember you and will not let you go."

Xue Pan uttered a few harsh words angrily and turned away.

Jia Zhen looked around, especially at Lin Daiyu thoughtfully.

Is it true?

He followed Xue Pan in a daze.

The two servants paid the bill in a daze and took the jewelry box handed to them.

It was as if everything had returned to the starting point and nothing had happened.

Lin Daiyu was still a little bit unbelievable holding the newly acquired banknote.

Really gave it? No discount was asked. Don't say the Xue family is really rich!

If he really asks for a discount, I can agree to five thousand taels.

This is not free money. If she didn't have so many people behind her, if she was really a single girl, it would be easy for her to fall into Xue Pan's trap.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu restrained her smile and shouted loudly,

"Dear fellow villagers, please don't leave. I will treat you all to some melon seeds."

The owner of the snack shop at the corner of the street was very happy. In a short while, all the melon seeds were sold out.

Some people also talk about how fragrant their melon seeds are, worthy of being called golden melon seeds.

The boss looked around but couldn't see how his melon seeds were golden. Finally, in order to become famous, he just hung a sign.

Laojin pumpkin seeds roasted nuts.

He became an instant hit since then, and he was so…so…so grateful to the lady who bought him the melon seeds.

……

Xue Pan went to a clinic and got some medicine, but when he heard that he would definitely be left with a scar, he got so angry that he wanted to go back.

How can I get a wife in my condition? I will have to rely on robbery.

Thinking of this, he asked Jia Zhen, who had been with him all the time,

"What's wrong with you?"

"You know that little girl, right?"

"She looks a little young, she can't be your lover, right?" Xue Pan glared at Jia Zhen.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just think she looks like the girl from Aunt Lin's family."

"But I'm not sure."

"I can only go back and ask again."

"Why are you asking? Can you draw a portrait? I don't care if she is your aunt's daughter or not," Xue Pan waved his hands and said to Jia Zhen angrily.

"You think of a way. I have my eyes on that girl of hers who can draw portraits."

"You have to help me."

"I often help you find women outside." Xue Pan said to Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen replied helplessly, "I can't paint a portrait, but I have my own way."

"I'll ask Baoyu."

"Besides, if she is really a girl from the Lin family, you definitely can't have her."

"I don't mind your few bucks."

"and……"

At this point, Jia Zhen rolled his eyes and shut up. He knew that things were awkward between Rongguo Mansion and the Lin family.

Moreover, he had been unlucky since the first time he met that Aunt Lin, and his secret thoughts were exposed.

From then on, he never showed up when his aunt came.

Therefore, the girl from the Lin family had only seen him once when she was a child, and since she was still very young, she naturally couldn't be sure.

But these definitely cannot be told to the fool Xue.

This is a stupid thing. If it gets out, the Rongguo Mansion will be in trouble and I will not be in any good situation either.

"Let's go! I want to go back. I'm not in the mood for today."

"I'll let you know once I've found out. It doesn't matter if it's not the case. I can always find out."

"In your current condition, do you want to hide outside for a few days?" Jia Zhen pointed at Xue Pan's hideous wound.

Xue Pan said nonchalantly, "No need, just say you were injured in a fight. Maybe you can even feel some sympathy for me."

"It's just right for me to go with you and deliver this velvet flower."

"You are also giving this as a gift?" Jia Zhen glanced at Xue Pan's box and frowned.

Xue Pan said as a matter of course, "Of course, this is a palace flower, a popular item in the palace, it's not too much to be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?"

"They don't go out anyway, so I don't know."

Jia Zhen was stunned, "Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

Xue Pan glared, "Brother Zhen, can you speak?"

Jia Zhen hurriedly shook his head, thinking that he was so stupid as to say such a thing.

It's something to please women, so what does the more or less matter?

Then Xue Pan asked, "Do those guys dare to speak?"

"Since you're not telling me, it's not a lie. We paid for it, so we have to pay the price we said."

What Xue Pan said made so much sense that Jia Zhen was so impressed that he had nothing to say.

Merchants have no taboos.

……

"Miss! Do we still want to take a look at this store?" Qingwen saw that the people who came to watch the fun had all dispersed.

So he asked Lin Daiyu,

Lin Daiyu looked at the sign of Linlang Pavilion and said, "Look, why not? Let's walk in openly and take a look."

"With such a big sign, there must be something real and good inside."

"Since we are doing the investigation, we will naturally look carefully."

As they spoke, Lin Daiyu and her group strode into the door.

When the guys inside saw that it was these people, they only dared to follow them closely behind.

No one was there to entertain us.

That's just right, it saves us trouble! Lin Daiyu thought.

When I saw someone I was interested in, I turned around and asked, but the guy following me answered without any enthusiasm.

They were dead silent with each other and had a good attitude.

Lin Daiyu was shocked when she saw the dazzling array of jewelry here. After listening to what Jia Zhen said, she wondered if this belonged to the Wang family?

Then the Wang family must have a way of maritime trade.

There are some rare treasures in it that are hard to find on land.

Such as coral, hawksbill turtle... and so on.

The East China Sea lacked a white jade bed, and the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling.

Sure enough!

……

"Grown up, still so interesting."

On the attic diagonally opposite Linlang Pavilion, a man in a black cloak, with an unruly look on his handsome face, raised his lips slightly, and a wicked smile spread across his face.

The green-feathered parrot hanging in the corner was frightened by his aura. It clenched its wings and quickly turned to the wall, as if it was facing the wall to reflect on its mistakes, and dared not make any sound.

In the attic, sunlight shines through the window lattices and falls on the ground in patches. Dust dances in the light, and everything seems exceptionally peaceful.
