dream of red mansion

Chapter 399 Xue Family's New House
After taking a carriage to Xue's new house, Jia Qing just got out of the car when he saw a chubby body rushing back to the yard.

Jia Qing smiled lightly, this fool Xue is still avoiding him until now.
With the relationship between Jia Xue and his family, there is no need to pass the pass before entering the door, so Jia Qing directly took Wang Shun in.

The house of the Xue family is not too big, it is a house with two entrances.However, it was originally intended to be close to Jia's mansion, and the Xue family didn't care about its spaciousness and grandeur.
Still, it's an elegant residence.

Putting Wang Shun in the outer courtyard, Jia Qing walked up the steps to the back house alone, and then saw Aunt Xue came up with her maid in person.

"Meet my aunt."

"My son, it's such a cold day, why did you come here alone, and you didn't let a few maids take care of you?"

Jia Qing said with a smile: "My aunt thinks I'm too delicate, I'm in good health, besides, it's starting to warm up this day, so I'm not in the way."

"Nonsense, no matter how good your body is, it won't be able to withstand the wind. You are so old, if you don't cherish it now, when you reach the age of your aunt, you will know how powerful you are."

Aunt Xue muttered, and then ordered her maids, Tong Xi and Tong Gui, to help Jia Qing go inside.

Jia Qing couldn't refuse, so he had to comply.

After arriving at Aunt Xue's room, Jia Qing was let go by two enthusiastic maids.Seeing Jia Qing looking around, Aunt Xue smiled and said, "It's your first time here, but my room is small and simple, so don't dislike it."

Jia Qing said: "Auntie said nothing, if Auntie's place is considered crude, then there will be no good houses in the world."

Indeed, although Xue's place is not considered a mansion, it has nothing to do with the word "shabby".

While the servant girl was pouring tea and leaving, Jia Qing said bluntly: "Auntie, last time I troubled you to buy so many stone materials for me, today I came here specially to thank Auntie."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "It's just a matter of raising one's hand. It should be like this between relatives. It's not worth your trip for it yourself."

"It's a piece of cake for my aunt, but for me, it's a big deal.

By the way, here is the wages for the workers, and I ask my aunt to accept it. "

"Didn't I say that Aunt Yinzi's house can still pay for this, and you took it as a serious business and sent me this."

Aunt Xue didn't seem to care about the money at all, she didn't look at the box Jia Qing pushed over, she just looked at Jia Qingdao with a smile.

"Auntie, don't delay any longer, this is what was agreed upon."

Hearing what Jia Qing said, Aunt Xue stopped talking, picked up the wooden box, and opened it to have a look.There was a stack of banknotes as thick as a finger, and I didn't know how many there were, so Aunt Xue asked, "What's in it?"

Jia Qing laughed and said, "There are only 3 taels of silver in it."

At that moment, Jia Qing clearly saw that Aunt Xue's eyes were smiling even more, but she heard her dissatisfied saying: "Why are there more than a few thousand taels of silver?"

Jia Qing said: "I know that my aunt is thinking of me, and she is dedicated to saving me money. It's just that those boatmen and coachmen have worked so hard to transport such a heavy object to Beijing, and they can't let them do their jobs for nothing. So, extra That little bit of silver is also a little bit of my heart."

"There are no wages or no wages, but they are all our own boats, and they are kept for nothing. It's better to take them out and use them. This really doesn't need to be counted as money."

"It's really needless to say, aunt, even if this is the case, I also know that my aunt's family is at a disadvantage, so I will naturally remember my aunt's love."
Why does my aunt have to be courteous to me for this mere two or three thousand taels of silver?Those are just money from the people below, and I only owe my aunt a debt. Could it be that my aunt wants me to owe money to those people below? "

"You, you, it's just that your heart is too sincere. If that's the case, Auntie agrees with you." Aunt Xue said something long-winded, then smiled.

"Love brother"

As soon as Jia Qing finished talking, he heard a familiar voice from outside the door.

Jia Qing stood up, looked at the girl who appeared at the door and said, "It's Sister Xiangyun, are you here to play with Sister Bao?"

Shi Xiangyun jumped into the room directly, greeted Aunt Xue first, and then said to Jia Qing: "Yes, tomorrow is Sister Bao's birthday, I'll come over to see what delicious food Sister Bao has prepared. Sister Pianbao is hateful, just a little rumor Don't show it, it pissed me off."

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Then you don't know how to act like a baby, Sister Bao is so nice, if you act like a baby, maybe she will agree to show it to you, maybe she will let you try it first."

When Xiangyun heard it, he felt reasonable, and ran to Baochai who had just walked in, took her arm and began to shake, saying in his mouth: "Sister Bao, why don't you show me first, look, even Brother Ai has already said it all, so let me take a look first..."

Jia Qing listened to it amusedly.In fact, if Shi Xiangyun speaks slowly, she can clearly explain "love" and "two". It's just that she is a bit impatient and can't calm down to speak, so she may not be able to clearly explain "love" and "two". It's funny.

"Stop shaking it, your head is dizzy from you shaking your head...you just hear what brother said clearly? Besides, those things will be done tomorrow, so why are you looking at them in a hurry today? They are just new things, Something to look at, let alone eat..."

Shi Xiangyun's act of coquetry did not have any practical effect, and Baochai still smiled and refused her request.

"Hmph..." Seeing that Baochai insisted on the principle, Xiangyun snorted unhappily and sat down on the chair.

Aunt Xue on the side said: "I forgot to tell you just now, tomorrow happens to be your sister Bao's birthday, and I invite you to come over then, your sister Bao and I have prepared good wine for you."

Jia Qing smiled and said: "It's natural, tomorrow I will definitely come early and kowtow to Sister Bao."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue laughed even more happily, and said again and again: "It's already noon, you all should stay here for dinner."

Because Jia Qing had something in mind, he didn't want to stay longer, so he smiled and said: "Since tomorrow is sister Bao's official day, let's come back tomorrow. Let's eat the food and drink today, and there will be less freshness tomorrow, why not Wouldn't it be nice to wait until tomorrow to be together again?

My aunt should prepare some delicious food. I have a big appetite. If I don't have enough food, I will stay at my aunt's house tomorrow. "

"Okay, okay... Now that you've said that, how about I ask some wives to take you back?"

Seeing Shi Xiangyun's expression, Aunt Xue knew that she must go with Jia Qing, so she said.

"Don't be so troublesome. I brought someone with me. Sister Xiangyun, I will send her to the old lady myself. Auntie doesn't have to worry about her."

"Alright."

……

"Is this sent by Brother Qing?"

After sending Jia Qing out of the house, Baochai asked her mother when she saw her mother take out a box and count the banknotes inside.

"En." Aunt Xue nodded, and quickly finished counting.

"how many?"

"3 taels of silver."

Baochai asked suspiciously, "Didn't you agree that it would be 6000 taels of silver?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "He insisted not to let us suffer, so he gave more, and he would not agree to anything I said. He also said that he knew that we had suffered, and remembered our love...

What a sensible boy who can do business. "

Xue Baochai nodded silently.Secretly said: The rumors are indeed true, although Jia Qing is young, but his actions are more appropriate than others, no one can fool him...

But it's not exactly, this transaction, including all the costs, they actually just set the price with the attitude of not making money, and the loss is precisely the transportation fee of a few hundred taels of silver for a round trip.Six boats, that's about 2000 taels of silver. Now that Jia Qing is doing this, and saying that, doesn't it just show that although he has not handled these things, he is not ignorant of the market inside...

Thinking about what he has seen and heard in the past half a year, Xue Baochai also has to sigh with emotion, the achievements of a person are really not just luck and fluke!
