Chapter 123 Two Duck Eggs, One Promise

"Second brother, are you coming too?"

After everyone greeted Jia Mu, Jia Baoyu immediately ran to Jia Qing's side, tugged at Jia Qing's sleeve and said.

Jia Baoyu was less than nine years old, and it was when he was most playful.Jia Qing can bring more fun to the monotonous and boring government life, so Jia Baoyu is willing to play happily with Jia Qing.

When someone gets close to him, Jia Qing will naturally not pretend to be lofty, and also smiles at him.Walking to the side unconsciously, the two started talking.The end is brothers and friends, which makes Jia's mother above the high hall very pleased.

"Old ancestor, you haven't said what you just said with your second brother. Why are you so happy? How about letting us hear it?"

On the other side, Wang Xifeng repeated her question when she entered the door.No matter when and where, Wang Xifeng will naturally make Jia's mother happy, and she has always done a good job.

Mother Jia has been paying attention to the movements of Jia Baoyu and his brothers. Hearing the sound, she turned her head to look at Wang Xifeng and said, "It's nothing. I just heard your second brother talk about things in the south. Since you want to hear... Yuanyang, you can tell Brother Qing I'll pick the main ones from what I said just now and let you, Second Mistress Lian, hear it."

The mandarin ducks may be "unaccustomed" Wang Xifeng often plays tricks in front of Jia's mother, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Second Grandma, are you sure you want to listen? What Second Master Qing is talking about is all the elegant things of the Jiangnan Literature Society. Second Grandma is probably... "

Before he could finish his words, Mother Jia and Li Wan and others behind her all laughed, and the servant girls in the hall also giggled.

Wang Xifeng's face turned blue and red, and finally turned into a charming smile.

"Old ancestor~ Look at Yuanyang, she actually used this to make fun of me! If the old ancestor doesn't let me make the decision, my granddaughter-in-law will lose face."

Wang Xifeng stepped forward and sat on Jiamu's side, hugged Jiamu's arm and said coquettishly while shaking.

Jia's mother was still laughing, but considering the mood of this filial granddaughter-in-law, she managed to stop her laughter and said, "Okay, okay, the old ancestors are in charge of you! Well, this time it was the mandarin duck who bullied you, so you can just turn around later." How about avenging her personal revenge and withholding her monthly money for this month? Hehe..."

After Jia's mother finished speaking, she laughed happily again.

The corner of Wang Xifeng's mouth twitched.Withhold the monthly money of the mandarin duck?Could it be that her grandma Yuanyang is still short of that little monthly money, you don't know how much you have given her just by your ancestors on weekdays!Those one or two months of money and silver are really harmless.

Mostly seeing that Mother Jia would not avenge her, Wang Xifeng changed her strategy and said:

"Isn't it because I have been with my ancestors for a long time, and I have been taught by my ancestors to recognize a few more words? It's just such a blow from the sky to sarcasm me!

Now I can't fight back.You wait, I will go to my ancestors later, and listen to some ideas and teachings. In two or three years, I will definitely get half of the true biography of my ancestors.At that time, I will have the level of Wen Zhuangyuan, and then we will compete again! "

Wang Xifeng really never forgot to flatter Jia Mu, and Jia Mu was very happy with her funny words.

Yuanyang smiled and said, "Second Mistress, is it true? Later, I will add a learning bench and a desk for you in this room, and wait for Second Mistress to come to class.

Old lady, do you think it can be made? "

"Okay, okay, let's do it like this! I'll work harder and tell her to grow up and learn more, so that she won't be like a stilt all day long, not stable at all."

Wang Xifeng begged for mercy: "Old ancestor, you are really my good ancestor!"

She is busy all day long, so she has no time and energy to read any books.Besides, she doesn't like those literary things at all, so she hasn't dabbled much since she was a child, but she just knows how to read.

As a daughter of a famous family, this has little effect on her.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't dare to use this to make fun of her.

After some frolicking, Wang Xifeng didn't ask the previous question any more, and the hall gradually became quiet, leaving only Jia Baoyu's high-spirited voice and Jia Qing's gentle answer.

"Second brother, do you mean that Jinling City is really bigger and more prosperous than the capital city?"

"You can't say that, but the capital is the military and political center of the country, and it is indeed somewhat inferior to Jinling City in terms of bustling and bustling.

And outside of the capital, apart from Tianjin Port, there is no big city that is too prosperous for hundreds of thousands of miles.Unlike Jiangnan, in addition to Jinling City, there are also big cities such as Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. The customs and customs of the entire Jiangnan region are indeed more profound. "

Although the Jia family's ancestral home is Jinling, Tanchun, Yingchun and others in the hall have never been to Jiangnan. Seeing Jia Baoyu and Jia Qing talking about Jiangnan, they all took the initiative to lean over and listen.

"Then, the Gaoyou duck eggs are really so delicious, can they be better than the ones in our house?"

"That's natural. Gaoyou duck eggs are fine in color and rich in oil, and taste delicious but not greasy... It just so happens that I brought a lot of them back this time. If the second brother is willing, I will send you some."

“Excellent excellent!”

Jia Baoyu said happily.I wanted to ask something else, but Jia Mu from above spoke up:

"Hearing what you said, I haven't tasted Yangzhou's Gaoyou duck eggs for a long time, old lady. I wonder if I have a share?"

Hearing this, Jia Qing quickly pulled out and said to Jia Mu: "If the ancestor wants to eat, he will naturally have as much as he wants."

Yes, if Mother Jia said what she wanted to eat, not to mention that it was in the south of the Yangtze River, even if it was in the sky, someone would find a way to get it back for her.

Jia Mu Hehe said with a smile: "I ate it all, you children are greedy, dare not speak of me openly, and don't complain behind your back?
And I just ate your mangoes yesterday, and now I ask you for duck eggs, can't you say that my old woman is too greedy?
However, I am really hungry, how about this, you will send me two later, let me satisfy my hunger, and the rest will be given to you sisters.

As an old ancestor, I can't benefit from you in vain.Tell me, what do you want, you can tell my ancestors at this moment, safekeeping can satisfy you! "

It can be seen that Jia's mother is not in a good mood.This kind of public promise of favors doesn't happen all the time, not to mention Wang Xifeng and others are slightly jealous, even Jia Baoyu is a little envious.

Although Jia's mother loved Jia Baoyu very much, she would basically give what she wanted... However, there are still some things that Jia Baoyu is not easy to ask for, or things that Mrs. Wang does not allow him to ask for.But at this juncture, it is all right to come back...

Wang Xifeng also felt sour, thinking that she usually worked hard, serving this one and that one, never complaining, and only received a few rewards from Jiamu, the most important one was the meeting gift she gave when she first entered the door.

Now that Jia Qing just offered a few worthless duck eggs, Jia's mother opened her mouth... Although she was sure that Jia Qing would not dare to open his mouth like a lion and ask for something that he shouldn't want, she still felt sour...

Jia Qing didn't expect Mother Jia to say that.

Gaoyou duck eggs, he really brought a lot of them when he came back this time.The main reason is that this stuff is too famous, and he had no chance to taste it before. After eating it for the first time in Yangzhou this time, he felt that his reputation was indeed well-deserved.When he was in Yangzhou, he asked Li Yan to take someone to buy a car and come back.

Anyway, this thing has been released, and there are so many people in Jia's house, there is no need to worry about no place to consume it.

Now that Jia Mu had made such a promise, a name appeared in Jia Qing's head almost instantly:
Qingwen!
