dream of red mansion

Chapter 92

The lucky boat goes all the way south from the canal, enters the Yangtze River after exiting the canal, and then turns westward, going upstream against the current. In this way, it takes only one day to arrive at Dashawan Wharf in Nanjing.

Xian'er fell asleep in Jia Qing's arms, and when she woke up, although she was a little embarrassed, she finally narrowed the distance between the two of them.

Later, Jia Qing talked to her again, and she also agreed with Jia Qing's statement that the matter of revenge should be a long-term plan, and for the sake of saving her life and taking her in, she agreed to teach him martial arts.

Jia Qing also promised that she would help her in the process of revenge in the future, whether it was financial help or personal help.

In exchange, if Xian'er can control the White Lotus Sect in the future, he must help him in turn!

It's a gentleman's agreement they made.

In addition, Xian'er also told Jia Qing that her name is Wu Xian'er.The name Xian'er was given to her by her adoptive father, and her surname is also the surname of her adoptive father.

The Fuchuan gradually approached the pier.

Large ships like Jia Qing and the others are equipped with small fast boats for reporting messages.

Lai Sheng had ordered people to report to the old house early in the morning, so when Jia Qing and the others got off the boat, the servants of the old house had arranged cars and sedan chairs and were waiting.

Jia Qing first sent Xian'er dressed as a maid into the carriage, and then said to Liu Xianglian next to him, "Brother Liu really won't go with us?"

Liu Xianglian cupped her hands and said with a smile: "Going south with my virtuous brother, Brother Yu is very happy! But there is no feast that lasts forever, let's say goodbye here."

After speaking, I didn't know what came to mind, leaned over and whispered in Jia Qing's ear: "Although I don't know the person in the room of my virtuous brother, but she can be chased and killed by Ye Chengliang, she is not an easy person, and my virtuous brother should be careful Some treatment is it."

Hearing these words, Jia Qing was a little moved, this Liu Xianglian is really a person worth making friends with!

"Brother Liu, please rest assured, the younger brother knows it well."

In this way, Liu Xianglian didn't say much, bowed her hands again, and left with his burden on her back.

After Liu Xianglian left, Jia Qing looked at the people from the old house.

"Slave Jincai, I have seen Second Lord Qing and Director Lai."

The leader, a short and stocky man in his 40s, dressed in a housekeeper's uniform, greeted Jia Qing and the two of them.

Jia Qing nodded, and asked casually: "Your surname is Jin, isn't it the father of sister Yuanyang next to the ancestor?"

The smile on Jin An's face got even bigger when he heard this, like a chrysanthemum...

He humbly replied: "Second Master is right. This child, Yuanyang, has been blessed for several lifetimes to be able to serve the old lady by her side..."

Jia Qing also replied with a smile: "Where is it? It is also a blessing for our Jia family to have such a suitable person as Sister Yuanyang by my ancestor's side."

After finishing talking, Jia Qing wanted to get on the carriage and go into the city, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of many people surrounded by the other side of the pier, which seemed to be very lively. What happened over there, why is it so lively?"

Jin An followed Jia Qing's gaze and said clearly, "That's selling fruit."

selling fruit?If it wasn't for Jin Cai's sincere face, Jia Qing would have wondered if he was teasing him!
In this era, fruits are very regional, and it is difficult to eat southern fruits in the north!The backward transportation and storage methods determine that fruits can only be produced locally and sold locally.

Tang Xuanzong ordered people to send lychees to Concubine Yang from the Kingdom of Western Shu. That was an extreme example.

At this time, he actually heard someone selling fruit at the pier, and it was still so lively. He suddenly became interested and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

As Jia Qing said, he walked towards that side first, and Xie Luan, Li Yan and others quickly followed behind.

Lai Sheng and Jin Anyuan were not interested in these things, but Jia Qing had already passed, so they had no choice but to reluctantly follow.

"Wow, there are so many mangoes, and they are so big!"

As soon as Jia Qing approached there, he saw a long row of boxes over there, the top box was open, revealing the mangoes inside.

Seeing this, Peifeng was the first to sigh.

Although mangoes are produced in the south, they are relatively easy to transport, so Jia's mansion occasionally supplies them, so it's not surprising that Peifeng recognizes them.

"Hey, what is this?"

Peifeng suddenly pointed to the blue balls piled up on one side and asked Jia Qing again.In her heart, Jia Qing knows everything.

Fortunately, Jia Qing did not disappoint him, although he was also surprised to see this thing here, he still explained to Peifeng: "This is coconut, don't look at it as ugly, it's actually delicious, I'll buy it for you to drink later."

"drink??"

Before Peifeng could ask any more questions, a person in charge of dressing in front of her took the initiative to talk to Jia Qing.

"This young man is really knowledgeable, this thing is called coconut, and our boss shipped it from Taiwan.

I don't think the two young ladies next to you have tasted this stuff. If you don't mind, how about I decide to send two of them to the two young ladies to taste? "

Hearing this, Jia Qing didn't know what the mastermind was thinking, but he hadn't drank coconut juice for a long time, so it was just to satisfy his cravings!

"Thank you very much then."

The person in charge was also agile, picked out two beautiful coconuts himself, brought them back and put them on the table.Holding the knife in his right hand, he cut out an eye with two or three strokes, then took out a "straw" from a box next to it, inserted it in, and handed it to Jia Qing.

However, Jia Qing was attracted by the "straw" he took out. After observing it carefully, he realized that it was the stem of an unknown plant. It was cut cleanly, and it could completely replace the modern straw.

Taking the coconut over, he handed it to Peifeng who looked curious, and said, "Drink!"

Seeing that she still looked ignorant after picking it up, Jia Qing simply went over and took a sip, thinking about the long-lost taste for a while, and then said to Peifeng: "You see, just drink it like this!"

Now Pei Feng understands, but she understands, but her face is already red up to her ears.Just hugging the coconut like this, Nuonuo didn't dare to speak, let alone listen to Jia Qing's words to drink coconut juice...

Although the other people who saw this scene sighed in their hearts for Jia Qing's boldness, they did not dare to speak out and ridicule, and even the people from the Jia family did not even dare to show strange expressions on their faces, for fear of being held hostage by Jia Qing...

This boy Wang Shun was afraid that he was not strong enough, so he turned his face to the other side.

At this time, the master also chopped the other coconut.With Peifeng as a lesson, Xieluan was afraid that Jia Qing would teach her how to drink, so she quickly lowered her head and drank it after getting it.

After only two sips, she raised her head, and the expression on her face told everyone: delicious!
In this way, others are okay, but Wang Shun's throbbing in his heart can't be concealed at all.Fortunately, he still knew some rules, so he didn't dare to speak.

Now there are about 30 to [-] people standing here with Jia Qing, most of whom have never drank coconuts, so they are somewhat emotional at this time.

Seeing this, Jia Qing didn't hesitate anymore, and asked, "How much is this coconut?"

The chief waited for this sentence, and replied respectfully after hearing the words: "If you want to return to the master, 25 yuan a piece..."

"What? 25 Wen each, what do you think you are selling?"

Hearing such an outrageous offer, before Jia Qing could speak, Jin Cai took the lead to question.

Others don't talk because they have never bought this thing and don't know the market price, but Jin Cai happens to have seen it before.

"Second Master Qing, don't fall for his evil tricks. This servant has been to Guangzhou once, and saw this kind of coconut there... I remember that it was only seven or eight yuan apiece over there! He asked for such a price, It's clear that I'm fooling the Lord."

Jia Qing didn't speak, and he wasn't a master who didn't know anything. It was indeed too much to buy a piece of fruit for 25 Wen.Although he is not short of this little money, no one wants to be fooled by being fooled, right?
He wanted to see what the principal had to say.
