Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 163 Male and female, east wind and west wind

The fifth day of the lunar new year was originally Jia Ying's day off, and finally escaped from the claws of several superiors. Naturally, Jia Ying would not send herself back, and left and right were on rotation according to the regulations. Even if they were dissatisfied, they would choose Nothing wrong with it, how can I say that I have been working overtime for several days in a row, giving myself a day off, isn't it too much?
This is the advantage of having an organization. If the top grasps it tightly, you can perform well. If no one is in charge of the top, you have to mess around if you should.

Cough cough, in fact, it is not that Jia Ying is confident. Efficiency varies from person to person. He has almost handled all the tasks assigned by the superiors. The remaining tasks are done by the officials of the Ministry of War. He is also the same size. As an official, let him do all the errands that can't be done.

Yesterday, because of Xue Pan's incident, he didn't have the time to talk to Daiyu for a few more words. Feelings still need to be carefully cultivated, especially for a daughter-in-law in the nurturing period.

The lunar calendar is different from the Gregorian calendar in Jia Ying's impression. The seasons are staggered by at least one season. In January, February, and March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and April, May, and June are already scorching sun. I spent May in Huguang and then in the capital. In June and July, there is fire and the weather turns cooler.

People in the previous life always paired the fire in July with the scorching heat of summer, which is actually a wrong understanding.In ancient times, on the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, although the end of summer had not yet passed, the temperature difference between day and night had gradually widened, and in five days it would be the beginning of autumn.

However, although the weather is getting cooler, the high heat will not subside in a short time. The 24 solar terms are separated by [-] to [-] days. Really cool.But fortunately, the fruits and vegetables nowadays are gradually ripening, which is a good thing to cool off from the heat.

They arrived in the capital together with the convoy transporting spices from southern Xinjiang, and a batch of melons and fruits from southern Xinjiang were delivered to Jia Ying's mansion in the back street of Ningrong. Calculating the time, they should have set off a month ago. Hurry up, and finally arrived before the summer heat.

These melons and fruits are packed in heavy wooden boxes, and then transported all the way to the capital with extravagant ice cubes. In southern Xinjiang, except for a few places, there is no snow all year round, let alone a few places. Speaking of ice cubes, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as luxury.

But this is what people who don't know the inside story think so.

To Jia Ying, making ice with saltpeter is just a tasteless thing other than keeping it fresh.

It's not that the ice made from saltpeter must not be eaten, but the current technology is far from being able to purify potassium nitrate. There are too many impurities in it, and people will have diarrhea if they eat the ice made from saltpeter.Rich families use ice from ice cellars to cool off in summer, and there are several ice cellars in Jia Mansion.

And this technology is not so valuable.The use of saltpeter to make ice existed in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but due to the lack of transmission channels in ancient times, it could not be popularized.

In other words, as a time traveler, he is really a bit aggrieved.

There is fine salt, glass, spinning machines, saltpeter to make ice, not to mention gunpowder, and even large clocks.

May I ask, what has this world left for him?
Not to mention these things, Jia Ying kept some melons and fruits for herself, and divided the rest into three parts, one part was sent to Ning Mansion, and the other part was sent to Lin Ruhai. Not many, but there are still a few aunts.He asked Xi'er to drive the carriage to Rongfu'er with the last share.

In Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia invited the female relatives in the mansion to gossip about Gao Le as usual, but she saw Sister Feng and Jia Ying walking in together.

When Jia's mother saw the two, she looked at Jia Ying and said, "I was talking about you with your wife, but you just came here."

Jia Ying first smiled and nodded at Daiyu, then glanced at Li Wan who was looking at him, and then asked curiously, "Oh, what are you talking about?"

"Lian'er told me everything about yesterday. You did a good job about Pan'er. After all, you are a relative of the family, and your Aunt Xue lives in our house. You must not let their mother and son be wronged. It seems that we have no way of hospitality." Mother Jia mentioned what happened yesterday.

Jia Ying smiled slightly at Mother Jia when she heard the words, but then bowed to Mrs. Wang and said, "Nephew should apologize to his wife for being rude yesterday and offending his wife."

Mrs. Wang smiled without revealing embarrassment: "Ying'er, since you are sure to help Brother Pan get rid of the crime, why didn't you say it earlier, so that everyone would misunderstand and make a joke."

Jia Ying smiled slightly, but didn't explain anything.

What happened yesterday was also done on purpose by him. Firstly, he wanted to give them a wake-up call and know what it means to be afraid.Secondly, they are fighting for the right to speak for themselves.He has always been a respectful and respectful junior, and he has never turned red with the elders in his family because of anything.It's just that with the gradual improvement of status, in the future, differences of opinion may be inevitable in some aspects.You can't always be suppressed by the word "seniority", you should let them get used to it gradually.Majesty is always accumulated bit by bit in daily life.

Otherwise, no matter how great the official is, others will only be afraid of your power, and will not admire you from the bottom of their hearts.

Just like what he said in front of Jia Zheng now, the weight of what he said has gradually surpassed that of Jia Zhen.I remember that when he first became an official, Jia Zheng was able to give him some advice based on his age and experience, but only a few months later, when he went to Jia Zheng's study, he was no longer offering a seat, but asking for a seat.

Jia Yingfu looked at Baochai again and said, "Sister, are you relieved now?"

Baochai smiled shyly, and said politely, "It's all because of my second elder brother's concern. Yesterday, my younger sister misunderstood my second elder brother."

Mrs. Wang also nodded at this moment and said: "Our women's knowledge is not as good as your men's. Pan'er's matter, even if someone helps to settle it, it is always a hidden danger, but it is not as clean as everything is explained."

Jia Ying shook her head and said: "The key is to be upright. If Brother Pan really kills someone, there is nothing I can do about it. His life is his life. Isn't it the case of others? I just hope he can eat it." It’s not a good thing to indulge yourself too much.”

Everyone in the room could hear Jia Ying's words, and there was a hint of accusation, but it was difficult for everyone to say anything for a while, after all, it was all up to Jia Ying to resolve the matter smoothly.

Especially in the eyes of the younger generation, this Second Brother Ying seems to be a little different from before.I don't know since when, he has been able to talk to the elders on an equal footing.

Only Jia's mother said with some resentment: "Are you saying that I indulge Baoyu again? I can tell you clearly that I am such a sharp-hearted person. Don't persuade me any more. Wait for me someday." It’s gone, whatever you like, it’s not working now.”

Jia Ying smiled shyly and said: "Where is the old lady, you are going to live a long life. No one in this family can live without you! As for Baoyu, you can pamper him if you want. He is more than a woman." well-behaved."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Mrs. Wang gave Jia Ying a rather dissatisfied look, and it was a great compliment for Bao Yuquan to pretend to be Jia Ying.

Jia Mu also smiled and said, "Why are you free to come to me today?"

But I heard Sister Feng say: "Old lady, brother Ying's grandfather's family brought some melons and fruits from the southern Xinjiang. Most of them are rare. They just arrived today, so I sent them as a filial piety." Are you old?"

Mother Jia smiled happily when she heard this and said, "It's hard for my old in-laws. I'm afraid it's not easy to transport it all the way from southern Xinjiang. Feng girl, go and share some of the melons and fruits in southern Xinjiang. Rare."

Fu looked at Jia Ying again and asked, "Your aunt, did you send it too?"

Jia Ying nodded and said: "Grandpa knows that we have a lot of family members, so there are a lot of things brought in. My aunt has already sent them over. These are for honoring the old ladies and wives. Let's take a few together. Sisters, try something new too."

But I heard Tanchun jokingly said: "We are not important, I am afraid that Brother Ying is thinking about Sister Lin."

After hearing this, Daiyu started fighting with Tanchun again.

Jia Ying didn't make excuses either, but looked at the sisters and said, "I just left some high-quality spices for you, and I brought a few bolts of Shu brocade, too. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Tanchun and the others were moved when they heard the words, and turned their eyes to the old lady.

"Go, go, just leave your wife with me." Jiamu said with a smile.

When they got out of Rongqing Hall, Jia Ying took Daiyu, deliberately slowed down her pace, and walked behind everyone. All the girls also noticed this. Li Wan took a deep look at Jia Ying and said to everyone: " Let's go on our own, it won't be an eyesore here."

Daiyu blushed a little when she heard the words, she didn't look at the crowd, she just lowered her head and looked at the Xiupa she was holding in her hand.

Tanchun and the others walked away with knowing smiles, and Baochai hid the envy in his eyes and followed him.

After everyone left, Jia Ying slowly approached Daiyu and asked softly, "I will see you in a few days, have you ever missed me?"

Hearing this, Daiyu blushed slightly, turned to the side and said in a low voice, "Why should I think about it?"

"It turned out that I was being too sentimental, that's all, I'm leaving now." Jia Ying pretended to be sad and sighed.

Daiyu turned her head and said in a charming voice: "If you leave, then don't come back." No matter what she thinks in her heart, sister Lin's mouth is still so sharp.

But he didn't think about it, Jia Ying was just talking to tease her, when he turned around, he bumped into Jia Ying's arms, Jia Junzi himself would not miss the opportunity to come to his door, he stretched out his arms, and hugged Ren'er in his arms.

"Hey, Brother Ying Er, your skin is getting thicker, and someone here will see it." Dai Yuhong struggled continuously.

"You can see it when you look at it. I hug my daughter-in-law, who can control me!" Jia Ying said indifferently.

"You don't have to worry about other things, and no one dares to touch your second master's bad luck. On the contrary, it makes me ashamed to face others. Just let go!"

"It's okay!" Jia Ying said resolutely.

Daiyu stamped her feet anxiously in Jia Ying's arms. To be honest, leaning on such a generous chest, she also felt a little bit warm. It's just a girl's family. After all, she is still a little shallow-skinned. Can't help other people's strange eyes and comments.

Seeing that he couldn't break free, he had no choice but to say: "Let go of me first, if you really want to hug me, then...then you have to go to the house."

Hug in the room?
Jia Ying couldn't help but feel hot when she heard these words, this girl doesn't know how attractive such words are to a masculine man!
Well, it’s a good deal if you think about it!

"Tell me first, do you miss me?" Jia Ying still asked domineeringly.

It's the season when the heart of spring is sprouting, and she's getting to know the human affairs, how the girl doesn't want to, she's just ashamed to express it in words, and now she has no choice but to blushing and nod in the man's arms.

"Do you nod to think, or not?" Jia Ying deliberately pretended to be confused.

Daiyu Mosquito said: "I think."

Only then did Jia Ying let go of the person in her arms contentedly, and Dai Yufei also fled, running straight to her wing.

"Small sample, if you have sharp teeth and sharp mouth, I won't be able to cure you anymore." Jia Ying smiled evilly, and also stepped forward to catch up.

In Daiyu's small courtyard, Zijuan, who was watering the flowers with snow geese, saw Daiyu running back to the room with a blushing face, and wondered, "What's wrong, miss?"

She had never seen Daiyu, who was always quiet, run past like this like crazy.

Zijuan put down the kettle in her hand, wiped her hands with her apron, and was about to enter the house to have a look, but she saw Jia Ying striding in at the gate of the courtyard.

The understanding Zijuan continued to pick up the watering pot to water her flowers, and asked Jia Ying with a happy face, "Second master is here."

Jia Ying nodded to the second daughter and walked straight into Daiyu's room.

Jia Ying, who was about to fulfill the agreement just now, just entered the room, and saw Daiyu looking at him with charming eyes, Jia Ying couldn't help but slow down slightly, thinking: "This little girl is more and more majestic like a mistress. I'm not married yet, so I'm afraid of you. How can this be done? For the sake of a happy life in the future, no matter what you say, you must stand up as a man in charge of the family."

Between men and women, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.If you don't get up now, then after you get married in the future, you will become a copy of Lian Er!
Don't be with him!

Just about to take a step, Daiyu asked softly, "Why do you smell like a green velvet girl's rouge?"

Cough!

Jia Ying paused, almost unable to stand still, facing Daiyu's questioning expression, said vaguely: "Well, this oh, the Spring Festival was not here yesterday, and the green velvet girl is serving you this morning. When I change clothes, I will inevitably get some contamination."

"Sister Baochun wasn't there last night?" Daiyu automatically ignored Lv Rong's words about helping Jia Ying change her clothes, and asked another question instead.

When Jia Ying heard this, she knew something was wrong, she was actually frightened by the arrogance of a little girl, and she sold herself.

But when Daiyu brought up this matter, Jia Ying thought for a moment, and she was not going to hide it anymore. Although Daiyu didn't ask about the Lvrong matter, she still owed her an explanation, so why not take this opportunity to challenge her? clear.

just
Jia Ying raised his eyes and glanced at Daiyu, he was really not sure what this little girl was thinking, how would she behave after hearing the truth?
