dream of red mansion

Chapter 691
Naturally, Baochai didn't know Jia Qing's "sinister" intentions, she just felt her heart beating.

Since ancient times, men are afraid of entering the wrong line of work, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.There are too many things men pursue in life, such as merit, fame, fortune, salary, power and wealth, each man's passion may be different.

But for a woman, the most important thing in life is to marry the right man.

Her mother rescinded her determination to send her to the palace as a female official, and then made every effort to marry her to Jia Qing. She knew that it was because Jia Qing was good enough.

There is status, fame, and title.An outstanding talent, profound family members.

But she didn't have a very strong desire at the beginning, she was just happy that the ending was much better than entering the palace.

The reason for this is that she has more innocent thoughts than her mother.From the bottom of her heart, she hopes to have a man who can stay with her for the rest of her life.

It is obviously impossible for Jia Qing to be the successor of the Duke's Mansion.So she is not keen on marrying into the government, marrying a powerful man.

But rationality told her that her mother was right, a woman's life is a man.Therefore, she obeyed her mother's arrangement, which was much better than the uncertain future of entering the palace.

At least in the end, like her aunt (Ms. Wang), she can guard the huge mansion and enjoy the wealth.

At the beginning, she didn't think that Jia Qing would give her sincerity, because she saw too many beautiful girls around Jia Qing.

Maybe there will be more in the future...

Regarding this point, she knew it from the moment she saw the sky-high price gifts piled up in the Northeast courtyard.

This is the relationship of giving and receiving,
But Baochai is not the only one who can understand this point, most women in the world know it.But why do most women still choose a powerful man?
Because, even if you compromise and marry a wimpy man, you may not be able to win his heart.

Husband guides wife!

If you marry a worthless man and get abandoned in the end, then your life will be in vain.

Therefore, under the premise that men and women are very defensive, and it is rare for girls to have a sweetheart before they marry, if marriage is a multiple-choice question, most of them will want to choose a person with status.

If such a person treats himself sincerely, it will be a woman's lifetime happiness.

Baochai felt that it seemed that she had really encountered such a situation.

Although Jia Qing also has the problem of ordinary princes and grandchildren who are greedy for flowers and sex, but for her, she can feel that it is a real liking, not a temporary novelty.

Just like now, she felt the sweetness in her heart hit her one after another.

Her heart trembled when she was sweet, and she panicked when she was tired.

Just like that Jia Qing put her hand on her chest, feeling his heartbeat through the thick clothes, Baochai knew that her face must be redder than ever...

Where did she remember why she called Jia Qing in, she just buried her head in her neck.

Jia Qing watched her from the beginning to the end, and he knew her state of mind by her expression.Jia Qing also knew that at this time, he only needed to use some tricks to break through some Baochai's defense lines and occupy some areas that he had not occupied before...

But he didn't, he just took Baochai's body into his arms, let her head rest on his chest, and quietly felt the happy time.

For a moment, Jia Qing even felt that it might be good to just hold her like this until she grows old...

It wasn't until Daiyu Lihua's rainy face suddenly appeared that he clearly realized that he was indeed not a dedicated man.

Feeling guilty, Jia Qing hugged Baochai's arm even harder.

"Hey~"

His strength awakened the girl's heart, and she hurriedly escaped from Jia Qing's embrace. She subconsciously glanced at the gate, only to be relieved when she found that no one came.Then he quickly tidied up his clothes and said, "I came to you to talk about my brother."

Jia Qing silently admired Baochai's flustered look only in front of him.Instead of teasing her again, he asked with a smile, "What's the matter with your brother?"

Baochai turned serious and said, "Did my brother quit your business halfway and sold all the grain under his name to you?"

"There is such a thing..."

"Sure enough!" Baochai frowned angrily.She cared about the business, and she had a bearing of her own.

"Last night when she was talking to us, she accidentally slipped her mouth. My mother pressed him when she asked him, but she killed him and said that there was no such thing. It's really..."

Baochai wanted to scold his brother, but felt bad.It's just that the grievance in my heart is hard to contain, and I almost burst into tears.

It was through her that Jia Qing reached an agreement with her mother and then cooperated.Now Xue Pan repented halfway, and did not discuss with their mother and daughter, how should she and her mother treat themselves in front of Jia Qing?

She is a person who understands business and pays attention to major events outside. She naturally knows that the court is negotiating a peace, and the war may end soon. At that time, a large amount of grain may not be sold... At this time, Xue Pan sold the grain to Jia. Qing, isn't it just for profit?

Such a treachery, how could she hold her head up in front of Jia Qing.

The more I thought about it, the more wronged I became, and tears were already rolling in my eyes.

"Okay, it's not a big deal, why are you crying? It's not like your style."

Jia Qing comforted her.

"No, I want to go back and discuss with my mother, she still doesn't know about it..."

Jia Qing grabbed Baochai who was about to leave, and said with a smile: "When did you become impatient, even if you want to go back and talk to your aunt, you have to understand clearly before going."

Baochai looked back at Jia Qing.

She actually wanted to leave because she felt ashamed to stay in front of Jia Qing.

Seeing that Jia Qing's eyes were clear, she calmed down a bit, and said: "My brother is like that, he has nothing in his mind, it's hard for you, you won't be angry if he does that..."

"Why are you angry? After all, he is also my uncle. For Bao'er's sake, I should respect him, right?"

"I just said a few words and didn't do it right..."

Baochai said, in the end he couldn't hold back a smile on his face.

"What's not right? He's an uncle. Besides, it's not his fault. I promised him to sell me food."

"Really?"

Jia Qing nodded.

Baochai asked, "Why? Don't you want our family to suffer?"

She thought that it was because of the friendship between the two families that Jia Qing let the Xue family withdraw early.

This violates the cooperative principle of risk sharing, and Baochai cannot accept it.

Jia Qing shook her head, then knocked her on the head: "From now on, in front of me, you will say 'our Jia family', 'their Xue family', you understand!"

Baochai frowned, no one had knocked on her head for so many years.With her stable personality, it is difficult for her elders to do this to her, but Jia Qing, although taller than her, is younger than her!

So she looked at Jia Qing.

"Why, not convinced?"

"No..." Baochai shook her head, skipped this point, and said, "Why haven't you replied to me yet?"

"It's very simple. I think in the past two years, at least until the Russian Cossack cavalry is wiped out, or driven out of the north of Mobei, there will be no loss in hoarding food!
Although the imperial court is currently negotiating a peace, who can say for sure if there will be any accidents before the dust settles?

Besides, they only see that this year is a good year, who knows what next year will be like?If the harvest next year is not good, and if Russia does not withdraw its troops, then it is impossible to reduce the price of food. "

Jia Qing didn't want to explain his plan to Baochai in too much detail.

Baochai lowered her head in thought.

Jia Qing continued: "Furthermore, although Big Brother Xue sold me the grain, I only gave him an IOU. No matter how I say it, I didn't lose money, but he helped me stockpile grain for nothing. If he makes a lot of money by then, Maybe he'll cry."

Baochai shook her head, she was not easy to fool.

"No, no matter what your plans are, but since it's an agreed-upon business, the profit and loss will be shared together, so you won't be able to withdraw when things come to an end.

I will go back and tell my mother, ask my brother to return the IOU to you, what should I do, or follow the previous terms.Our family... the Xue family contributes the money, and the Ningguo Mansion is responsible for buying the grain, and the profits and losses are shared. "

From Baochai's point of view, Jia Qing used the IOUs to buy food, which shows that he is indeed in distress.At this time, the Xue family shouldn't have withdrawn.

Doesn't this mean adding insult to injury?
Xue Pan could do this, and she believed her mother would definitely object.

"This, it's not necessary, I don't mind..."

To tell the truth, Xue Pan, Zhou Dafu and others sold him grain in the form of IOUs, which was equivalent to lending him a million taels of clean silver to buy low-priced grain in the early stage when he was in desperate need of funds.

Even if he would pay them back some more later, it would be about the same as interest.These days, who dares to borrow one million taels of silver?
Therefore, Jia Qing didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage.

But Baochai's attitude was firm, and Jia Qing couldn't say much, so he finally had to agree that as long as Xue Pan came to him, he was willing to void the previous agreement and restore the original cooperative relationship.
