dream of red mansion

Chapter 62 Your Majesty is a Good Sword

When she heard that she was going to play a game, Xichun was the most excited. She ran over and took Jia Qing's hand and said, "What game? I want to play too!"

"Okay, okay, brother will teach my sister how to play later..."

Carrying Xichun in his arms, Jia Qing said to Jia Baoyu, "Second brother Bao, do you have that kind of thin and hard paper here?"

Baoyu said, "Hard? Can rice paper work?"

Jia Qing shook his head and said, "No, it's still too soft."

Jia Baoyu couldn't help it, and said: "Xuan paper is not good, what is the second brother going to do?"

Jia Qing said: "The game I want to teach everyone must have such a thing. It's like the old ancestors must have dominoes when they play cards."

The sisters also shook their heads and said they didn't know what kind of thin and hard paper it was.

"Second Master Qing, can you see the cardboard for drawing shoe patterns?"

Xiren, who had been standing by the side and had never spoken before, spoke at this moment.

Jia Qing looked at the "famous" Xiren next to him, who was charming and charming, and was looking at him with a submissive face at this time, his expression was somewhat similar to that of Xie Luan.

Shaking his head, Jia Qing said: "No, the hardness is enough, but it's too thick."

Jia Qing has also seen the model used for the soles of Cui Liuna shoes, the paper is at least two or three millimeters thick.

Xiren smiled lightly and said, "I guess it's because the masters don't often see these jobs...the cut out shoe samples are of course very thick, otherwise they will be torn soon after taking them out. But when I first started drawing, I used But the cardboard is very thin, which is also good for trimming. I have some here, and I will show it to Master Qing.”

Then he went into the room.After a while, a piece of cardboard was taken out.

"Second Master Qing, look at this."

Jia Qing took it, and it felt extremely smooth as soon as he started, so he secretly said good.Looking at it again, although it is still a little thick, it is barely usable.

Gently folded and folded, the hardness is still there.Well, that's it!
So he said to Xiren, "That's right, it's this kind of cardboard. I don't know if sister Xiren still has this kind of cardboard. I want at least five pieces of this size."

That's right, what Jia Qing wants to do is poker, which is popular in later generations.

Xi Ren said: "I don't have any here, but there must be Aunt Wu in the spinning department."

"Then I'd like to trouble Sister Xiren to go there for you. Oh, by the way, take this with you, you can't let them spin the bill..."

As Jia Qing said, he put Xichun down, took out an ingot of one or two grain silver from his bosom, and handed it to Xiren.

Xiren first took a look at Jia Baoyu, seeing his indifferent expression, so he had to make the decision for him.

"Look at what Second Master said, it's not worth much at all, it's just a matter of one sentence, how can it be used so much. Besides, in our Second Master's house, there is no such thing as asking you to pay for money..."

Jia Qing said with a smile: "You can't let Xiren's sister go for nothing, right? If you don't need it, just treat it as a reward for your sister."

Xiren was still waiting to speak, but Jia Baoyu became impatient, and said to Xiren, "You can take what the second brother gave you! You don't have to feel sorry for him, the second brother has a lot of money..."

Attacking people like this just gave up, since the second master doesn't care, why should I worry about it.Then he took the silver and went out.

After Xiren left, just as Tanchun wanted to ask Jia Qing what he was going to do, Daiyu said to Jia Baoyu, "How does Brother Bao know that Second Brother has a lot of money?"

Jia Baoyu smiled smugly, and was about to show off, but when Daiyu raised her eyes, he gave up.Said: "Second brother got a sum of 5000 taels of silver because of the soap recipe a few years ago!"

"Ten taels?"

It's no wonder Tanchun was surprised, you know they only have two taels of silver a month. 5000 taels, it is estimated that only when she gets married will the mansion give so much silver taels.

Although Daiyu and the others didn't pay much attention to silver, they also knew that 5000 taels was indeed a lot, and they all looked at Jia Qing for verification.

Jia Qing didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "That's true, but how did Second Brother Bao know?"

"I heard what Sister Feng said."

Daiyu smiled and said, "I didn't expect second elder brother's soap to earn money, ho ho, then if we want to use it in the future, will we have to pay money?"

Listening to Daiyu's joke, Jia Qing said carelessly: "That is necessary..."

The eyes of the sisters stared immediately, and Jia Qing immediately changed the subject: "That must be impossible. Of course, the sisters will be free for life if they want to use it."

The sisters suddenly showed a look of knowing you.Jia Qing went on to say: "Originally, the fact that I am a rich man was well concealed, but today since I was exposed by the second elder brother Bao, I will also pretend to be generous. If you have any gifts you want, just tell me, Guaranteed to satisfy you! There is only one chance."

Hearing that there was a gift, Xichun beside him was the happiest, and said, "I want to eat big peaches!"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Hey, little sister Xichun asked for a good gift, let me see how my second brother can be satisfied..."

Jia Qing smiled and pulled Tie Xichun's face, and said softly: "There are no peaches in this season, my sister can't be satisfied with this gift."

Xiao Xichun turned her face when she heard the words, she was not teasing Jia Qing, she really wanted to eat big peaches...

Seeing Xichun like this, Jia Qing was thinking that he might find a way to grow some out-of-season fruits in the future.However, there is no condition yet, and my own warm room is not doing well, mainly because it is not easy to "construct large-scale construction" in Ningguo Mansion, and it is okay to barely put some flowers and plants.

"I saw the painting my sister gave me last time. It's very good. I like it very much. Why don't I give my sister a set of drawing tools?"

Xichun thought about it, anyway, the peaches are gone, and she also likes to draw, so she nodded.

After finishing Xichun, Jia Qing looked at the others.

Daiyu said directly: "A little poem..."

Tanchun continued: "A little poem..."

"A little poem..."

"A little poem..."

Yingchun and Jia Baoyu didn't intend to ask Jia Qing to compose poems, but seeing Daiyu's interesting cooperation, they also came to join in the fun.

Jia Qing raised his hands in surrender and said, "Good sisters, good sisters, please forgive me, how can I write so many poems..."

Tanchun said: "It doesn't matter, the second elder brother gave me only one sentence on the fan last time, so I have to make it up this time!"

Seeing Jia Qing's unlovable appearance, Jia Baoyu interceded: "Okay, the second brother will write a song. But it must be a good one!"

The others didn't insist and nodded.

So, Jia Qing thought about it, and really didn't know which song to plagiarize now.Looking at Jia Baoyu's round face, thinking of his allusion to "Xiangyu from the Lin Family", he immediately paid attention, and said, "There is no such thing as poetry...how about I tell everyone a joke?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Tanchun said, "Second brother can tell jokes?"

Also, for them, telling jokes should be far more attractive than poetry.Although the poems are beautiful, they have seen a lot, and they can do some by themselves.

But jokes are different. It is difficult for them to listen to other people's jokes.

Jia Baoyu was afraid that Jia Qing would get away with it, and warned: "It's settled, if it's not funny, you still have to write poetry."

Demo, it's hard to compose poetry, and it's not easy to tell jokes, it's up to me.

"It is said that during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the former king of Siam sent an envoy to offer a sword to Liu Chejin.

Liu Che likes it very much, but also thinks that since he has been in the deep palace for a long time, it will inevitably make Mingzhu secretly cast him.So Xuan's confidant loves to bring Li Guang into the palace, and prepares to give him the sword.

Unexpectedly, when Li Guang saw these precious swords, he immediately said excitedly: "Your Majesty, what a sword!"Good sword, Your Majesty!Your Majesty is a good sword! ! '

So Li Guang has never been a Marquis in his life...

Ha ha ha ha. "

Jia Qing laughed to himself after speaking.It's a pity that no one agreed.

Daiyu curled her lips and said, "It's not funny!"

Tanchun frowned and said, "Vulgar!"

Jia Baoyu said: "There is no connotation..."

Yingchun didn't speak, but didn't smile either.On the other hand, Xichun asked with a confused face: "What's a good sword? What's a good sword?"

Xichun's words sounded like she was cooperating with Jia Qing, a smile appeared on Daiyu's strained face.

"Did you do it on purpose, obviously it's very funny?"

Jia Qing complained.

Everyone returned a negative look, the meaning was obvious.Jia Baoyu said: "Anyway, we didn't laugh! No, the second brother has to tell a new one, so we can laugh."

Well, this is also considered a standard joke.Who let myself not make them laugh.

Coincidentally, Xiren also came back at this time, Jia Qing immediately said happily: "Okay, let's get down to business first, and it won't be too late to tell jokes later."
