dream of red mansion

Chapter 31

After Jia Qing listened to Jia Yun's words, he realized that he had misunderstood a lot.

He just said, he hid it so well, how could Jia Yun see his "ambition", it turned out that he was thinking too much.Thinking through this verse, Jia Qing was very angry. This Jia Yun made herself dumb for no reason, and made herself confess all this on her own initiative.It turned out that he never thought of helping himself to the top.

He was thinking, should he be him...

Think about it or forget it, mainly because he himself is afraid.

Putting aside these unrealistic thoughts, Jia Qing said to Jia Yun: "Okay, there is no need to show loyalty anymore, I believe in you. After Li Yan shows me that thing, if it is what I want, I want you to go down to the south of the Yangtze River immediately and buy this kind of stuff for me. Now that others don’t know its use, you can buy it at the price of waste stones, even at no cost. As long as you do this well, there will be plenty of big ones in the future I'll do your errand for you."

Jia Yun was thinking about the use of collecting things that no one wanted, but after hearing what Jia Qing said, she felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured, my nephew will try my best to handle this matter well! It's just that I'm still young, can Second Master send someone to me?"

Jia Yun is only about 13 years old. It's not that Jia Qing has never considered asking others to do this, but at least one of Li Yan and Wang Shun should stay in Beijing as an arm, and these two are still young, and they are still servants. Going out to do things is definitely not as convenient as Jia Yun, and Jia Yun is also a child of the Jia family.

Fortunately, Jia Qing also has a "talent" that no one else has.

"I remember that not far from your home, there lived a drunk king called Ni Er, who was very righteous. You can try to persuade him to accompany you to Jiangnan. When you arrive in Jiangnan, the current Lianghuai inspector Shi Lin is my uncle. , you can go to ask for help, and it’s not a big deal, he will help.”

After Jia Yun thought about it, she felt that she could give it a try, so she agreed.

After everything was discussed, Jia Qing said: "You can go back. When it's settled on my side, I'll send someone to call you."

Jia Yun then left.

"In the future, you don't need to search for flowers deliberately. You can only buy rare ones for me. Secondly, you still have to inquire about major events in the west, and report to me when you have the opportunity."

After Jia Yun left, Jia Qing said to Li Yan and the two of them.

After the two agreed, Li Yan thought for a while before asking, "Why did Second Master Yun ask Second Master Yun to buy that item?"

In view of the performance of these two people in the past few months, Jia Qing really felt relieved for them, and did not hide it, explaining: "Second Lord, I am going to make a thing, and that thing is a necessary raw material. Once my thing If it is made, it will definitely attract the attention of relevant parties. Therefore, I will take advantage of receiving enough raw materials now, so as not to be controlled by others in the future."

When they heard Jia Qing's far-sighted words, which they didn't quite understand, they immediately admired Jia Qing.No wonder they can only be slaves, while Jia Qing is the master.

After the two of them understood the importance of the matter, Jia Qing returned to his Yipintang.

……

More than 20 days later, Jia Qing was reading in the school.Peifeng ran over and said, "Jia Baoyu is here."Jia Qing had no choice but to put down the book, and went to Ning'an Hall with Peifeng to meet Jia Baoyu.

A few days ago, he finally determined that the soda stone next to the salt field can be used to make soap.Although there are many impurities in it, it also contains a large amount of alkaline substances and sodium salts. Among sodium salts, such as sodium carbonate, caustic soda can be obtained by reacting with slaked lime.

Jia Yun has already gone to Yangzhou to collect this kind of alkali stone, and he is still trying to find a way to purify the alkali, otherwise the "soap" he makes is really useless.

When we arrived at Ning'an Hall, we saw Jia Jing drinking tea silently, and Jia Baoyu sitting on the seat next to him, with an embarrassing expression on his face.

Needless to say, it must be Jia Jing who tried to teach Jia Baoyu knowledge, and the ending of that scene is self-evident.

Seeing Jia Qing coming in, Jia Baoyu stood up as if seeing a savior, and shouted: "Second brother!"

After Jia Qing saluted Jia Jing first, he looked at Jia Baoyu and asked, "Second Brother Bao, what do you want from me?"

"Your Bao's second elder brother came over to look for you, please treat him well, I have something to do, so I'll go first... Baoyu, you should read more books on weekdays, the right way!"

At the end of Jia Jing's speech, he still couldn't hold back and nodded to Jia Baoyu, and left after speaking.

However, Jia Baoyu didn't dare to say any "reasons" he usually told the girls. After Jia Jing left, Jia Baoyu said to Jia Qing: "Second brother, your father is really terrible, just like my father!"

Is it the same? My father was born as a serious Jinshi. Your father seems to be... Of course you can't say such things, hehe smiled, and let this matter go, Jia Qing invited Jia Baoyu to speak at Yipintang.

"Second brother, Lian's second sister-in-law has tidied up your yard. Why don't you come and live there? I've looked over it for you. Although the yard is not big, it has all the colors and layouts. It just so happens that we can It's a joke, how interesting! But you don't want to come."

On the way, Jia Baoyu kept complaining.

"It's because I don't want to come, it's because my father wants me to study as soon as possible, so that I can go to the Imperial College to take the entrance exam next year. I also want to play with you, but it's my father's order!" Jia Qing used the usual rhetoric, seamlessly .In fact, he was studying soap making and couldn't let go.

Jia Baoyu pouted angrily, wanted to say something, but didn't dare to say it, so he could only say: "It's God's will!" His voice was bleak.

When we arrived at Yipintang, after Xie Luan brought tea to the two of them, Jia Baoyu whispered to Jia Qing: "Second brother is so fresh and extraordinary, and the elder sister in the room is also refined. The older sister who just followed us all the way, plus this one now, I In the house, only Xiren can compare."

Jia Qing knew what kind of temperament Jia Baoyu was like, so of course he wouldn't be angry when he heard the words, if someone else said this to him, he wouldn't be able to kill him.At the moment Jia Qing also thought of joking.

"Oh? Assault? I don't know if Brother Bao could recommend me?"

"Of course! Next time my second brother comes to my place, I'll ask her to pour tea for you."

As expected of a silly second treasure, Jia Qing continued: "Then I wonder if there are any good-looking older sisters in the second brother's house?"

"Apart from Xiren, Qiuwen is probably the one who is born well, Musk Moon is also good, and Qianxue... Huh? Second brother, why are you asking about this?"

It seems that Qingwen really hasn't played yet.Hehe, this silly second treasure is really silly and cute, Jia Qing feels a little guilty for teasing him.

"It's nothing, I just want to know what kind of maid is blessed to serve someone like Brother Bao."

When Jia Baoyu heard this, shame appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "Where did I give birth to such a man, and let them serve me like clear water? I don't know where it is." It is such a blessing for Shixiu to come." As he spoke, Jia Baoyu became sentimental.

Jia Qing said that he couldn't talk to Jia Baoyu for too long, otherwise he would be taken to another world, so he quickly stopped the topic and took him to the flower hall to see flowers.

Sure enough, Jia Baoyu liked these things the most, and when he entered the flower hall, he was overwhelmed with excitement, and praised repeatedly, saying that he had never seen so many flowers.

When Jia Baoyu saw almost half of the flowers, the woman who accompanied him reminded him outside that it was time to go back. This was sent by Jia's mother, and Jia Baoyu couldn't disobey it, so he had to go back as promised.

Before leaving, Jia Baoyu took out a few more things, saying that the gods had accepted Jia Qing's gift, and that this was a return gift from the sisters and him.

Jia Baoyu's gift was also a fan, but it was very exquisite, probably someone gave it to him before.

What Yingchun sent was a game record, but unfortunately Jia Qing didn't know much about Go, and couldn't understand it.

What Tanchun sent was a book, a collection of poems by Wang Mojie.

What Xichun gave was a painting, probably drawn by herself, because the person in the painting resembles her somewhat, it seems that Xiao Xichun has already begun to rely on herself, Jia Qing is very happy.

Sister Lin sent a string of fan pendants, hehe, he gave a fan, and she sent a fan pendant back, which is really unique.I just don't know whether she wove it herself or Zijuan. I guess it was Zijuan's credit. With Sister Lin's arrogance and aloofness, she would not have woven any fan pendant for him by herself.

After tidying up these things carefully, Jia Qing called out to the outside: "Sister Xiaoluan, come in."

Both Xie Luan and Pei Feng walked in, but they both had unsightly faces.

"Sister Xiaoluan, sister Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you," Jia Qing asked curiously.

"Hehe, Second Master still asked us, we haven't asked what Second Master and Bao Second Master just said!"

It seems that the two girls overheard what Jia Baoyu had just said about the girl's beauty, so they got angry.But Jia Qing is not afraid, anyway, he is the master.

"Oh? What did we say?"

"Second Master knows what you said! Does Second Master think that we are not good-looking, and wants to find a good-looking one from Bao Second Master's room to serve you? How can you do this! It's because we are always thinking of you wholeheartedly." Pei Feng felt Very sad.

"Peifeng is right. Even if the second master wanted to change the maidservant, he didn't stare at the people in the brother's house. It doesn't sound like it. He should ask the master to reward him."

Hearing the dissatisfaction of the two girls, Jia Qing's head grew big, and he said quickly: "Okay, I'm just making a joke for Brother Bao, it's not as bad as you think. Besides, you are so obedient, Why would I want to change the servant girl? Dear sisters, just rest assured!"

Hearing what Jia Qing said, the two thought it might be the same, but they were a little embarrassed.So Jia Qing asked them to help put those gifts away.

Looking at their slender backs when they went out, Jia Qing couldn't help feeling: It feels really good to be regarded as the center of life by them!
