dream of red mansion

Chapter 426
Daiyu and the others were able to giggle, but the maidservants who benefited did not dare, looked at Jia Qing worriedly, and walked in the opposite direction where Jia Qing was standing, looking for a place far away from Jia Qing to read.As for those who can't read, they are planning to find a place to hide the book in their arms so that they can take it out later, but with such thin clothes, how can they hide it?

"Don't leave, if you don't pay me today, don't even think about leaving my place"

Suddenly Jia Qing stepped in front of the maidservants, said viciously, and stared at them with a pair of star eyes.

The servant girls suddenly stopped in fear, not knowing what to do.

"Oh, second brother, you are too stingy, isn't it just a few books, you can give them to them." Because Shi Xiangyun took the lead by himself, he stood up without hesitation at this time and set an example.

Daiyu also stood beside her, acting as an oppressive force.Seeing this, Tanchun Yingchun naturally had no reason not to cooperate, and stood beside the two of them with a smile.

Even Xiao Xichun watched it and found it very amusing, so she stopped standing on her brother's side and formed a united front with her sisters.

With such a powerful force, Jia Qing couldn't help but change his face, and said sternly, "You, what do you want to do? Do you want to use force on me? Is there any law of heaven and king?"

"Pooh."

Jia Qing's ambiguous words made Tanchun and others spat at him in embarrassment. Seeing that Jia Qing just stared in disbelief, as if they had really bullied him, they laughed again.

"Fortunately, you are still a master. You are not even willing to reward people with a few books, and you want their money. How can they give you money?"

"That's right, other people's storytellers say that those who are rich are just for money, and those who have no money are just for personal. But when it comes to you, it doesn't make sense at all."

After listening to what Daiyu and Xiangyun said, Jia Qing complained in a low voice: "There is no reason why people who tell stories should lose money." Suddenly raised his head again, and discussed: "Since they are your girls, why don't you pay the money?" What did you do to them? Come and see them."

"no!"

"Don't think about it!"

"We have no money!"

Before Jia Qing could explain his reasons, he was interrupted by several eager voices as if a cat had been stepped on its tail.

Jia Qing stared at them in astonishment, not understanding why just now he was so righteous and taught him to be selfless and generous.
After thinking for a long time, Jia Qing sighed and said: "It's just that women and villains are difficult to raise. The ancients never deceived me."

"Yeah, what did you say!"

This sentence offended the public, and with a wave of Tan Chunxiu's hand, he almost didn't say "sisters, beat him". Then, he led two generals, Xiangyun and Daiyu, and two generals, Yingchun and Xichun. The soldiers surrounded him and punished Jia Qing for his serious mistakes!
However, it was just pulling his arms and sleeves, not really crushing him, but Jia Qing still screamed in pain.
The maids in the house watched the young masters and young ladies making a fuss, and they also laughed heartily, and some were envious, the second master was really gentle and considerate to the girls at home!

"Ah." Jia Qing suddenly felt a pain in his arm, and someone secretly grabbed him!Although not particularly ruthless, it did make Jia Qing feel it.He suddenly lowered his head, only to see a small hand retracted quickly.Looking in the direction, there is where Daiyu is.

"what happened to you?"

Jia Qing's actions caught the attention of the sisters, and they all stopped.

"Lin Daiyu, don't act innocent. Although you are very skilled and quick, I have seen it all. You were the one who attacked me just now!"

It was the first time that Jia Qing called Daiyu's name directly, which gave Tanchun and the others a refreshing feeling.Hearing Jia Qing's accusation that Daiyu had played against him, they all became suspicious.

Daiyu blushed, and retorted: "You don't swear, I don't!"

"Ah, how dare you not admit it!" Jia Qing was very angry, and turned to Tanchun and the others: "Just now, just now, she is the one who pinched me hard while I was not paying attention! Ouch, it hurts me to death .”

The more serious Jia Qing said, the more disbelief Tanchun and others laughed, thinking that Jia Qing was joking again.

Jia Qing is determined to make Daiyu's crimes known to the public. Seeing that everyone does not believe him, he must find evidence.

"Believe it or not, look, she has pinched me into red for my safekeeping here."

Jia Qing said, putting one hand on the other arm, intending to roll up his sleeves to show the evidence to everyone.However, everyone clearly saw his hand inadvertently pinch his arm vigorously.

"Look, she pinched me red here!" After Jia Qing rolled up his sleeves, there was a small red mark on his arm.

For Jia Qing's obvious act of slandering others by "self-mutilation", everyone was speechless and funny.But besides being funny, there are some different emotions.

Because the weather is getting hotter, the sleeves themselves are loose.In order to reveal the evidence of Daiyu's murder to the world, Jia Qing directly rolled up the sleeves on the shoulders, so that most of the arms were exposed.

In this era, it is about seeing no evil, but not only women's bodies cannot be seen by others, even men are no exception!Even some pedantic literati value this more than women.

Therefore, when Liu Xianglian was touched by Xue Pan, it was regarded as a great humiliation, and later, she did not hesitate to offend the four major families, and even wanted to beat Xue Pan when she went away to avoid disaster.

Therefore, Jia Qing directly exposed her "noble and delicate body" to the eyes of everyone, which is very attractive!

At this time, Jia Qing was the only male creature in the room, and the others were girls, so he became a little green among thousands of flowers invisibly.Now that he is "happy together", how can he not attract people's attention?
The maids were the most presumptuous, and cast their eyes over one after another, while staring fiercely, they secretly praised: Second Master's skin is really good.
Jia Qing kept the reactions of the girls in his eyes, raised his sword eyebrows, raised his bare arms and waved them in front of the sisters, proudly said: "How about it, I am beautiful!"

Forehead.
For a while, an unknown number of people were taken out of the atmosphere.

"Bah, don't be ashamed, it's so ugly!"

Daiyu was the first to express her disdain.

Jia Qing couldn't agree with her statement, stretched his arm in front of Daiyu, and questioned: "Look carefully, what's so ugly? Sister Lin, as a human being, you can't speak against your conscience."

Daiyu really glanced again, Jia Qing's arms are very slender, although not as fair as her skin, but also much thicker than hers, but more of a man's bodybuilding, really, good-looking.
Just when Daiyu was forced into a corner by Jia Qing and seemed unable to speak, Xichun's words revealed everyone's thoughts and the truth: "Brother, you are so stinky"

"Hahaha."

The girls all laughed.

Jia Qing immediately let Daiyu go, glared at Xichun and said, "Who are you? Be careful I won't buy you candy in the future."

If this is the case, there is no threat to Xichun at all: "I have given up candy a long time ago."

Seeing that Jia Qingqian's donkey skills are poor, Tanchun and others laughed and said: "Second brother, you are not convinced by sister Lin's words just now, but now you are convinced by what Xiao Xichun said?"

Jia Qing angrily rolled up his sleeves, and said: "Forget it, since you don't know the goods, I won't show them to you! I'll find someone who knows the goods to take a look! Hmph."

There was a lot of laughter, and everyone didn't want to read any more. Seeing that noon was approaching, it was estimated that the meal would be delivered in Jiamu's room, so they all asked the maids to put away their books, and a group of people went to Jiamu's room. and go.

It was inevitable to have another joke in Rongqing Hall, and then they had lunch together with Jia Mu, Jia Qing bid farewell to Jia Mu and all the sisters, and went to Rongxi Hall.

Entered Meng Pozhai, Jia Zheng's study in the outer courtyard, and asked the boy to report to Jia Zheng.At this time, Jia Zheng had just finished his meal, and after studying two articles, he felt tired, so he planned to take a rest in the small bedroom inside.

Hearing that Jia Qing took the initiative to look for him, he turned and went back to the study to meet him.

After talking about the layout and decoration of the garden as usual, Jia Qing pointed out the main purpose of his visit: "I want to ask my second uncle for someone."

Jia Zheng said, "Oh, I don't know who you want to offend?"

"Bu Guxiu."

Jia Zheng frowned and asked, "What do you want him to do?"

Jia Qing frowned slightly, and said calmly: "He colluded with outsiders to plot against my Jia family, and I will naturally let him end well."

"What, there is such a thing?"

Jia Zheng didn't expect it at all.If it wasn't for Jia Qing's behavior that he valued, he wouldn't be in a questioning tone.

"I don't dare to satisfy my second uncle. Since the last time he instigated my second uncle to plead for the Shoushan uncle's mansion, I have become suspicious. So I sent someone to watch him. Sure enough, he secretly talked with the chief steward of the Shoushan uncle's mansion. There is a relationship."

Because Jia Qing didn't get any evidence that Bu Guxiu colluded with Shoushan Bo's mansion, but it didn't matter, his words were the evidence for a Qing guest who was dependent on Jia's mansion for survival.

Jia Zheng frowned, anyone who knew that others sent people to monitor him would be unhappy.However, Jia Qing's ability to take the initiative to tell him this point shows that he has no other intentions, maybe it is only for the consideration of the Jia family, and he is not easy to take responsibility.

"Well, it may be that he has a good relationship with the housekeeper of the Shoushanbo Mansion. Now that the Shoushanbo Mansion is in trouble, it is understandable for him to say a few words for him."

Although he knew that Jia Qing would not lie to him, but after all he had been with him for many years, he couldn't bear to hand him over to Jia Qing.Listening to Jia Qing's tone just now, if the person is handed over to him, the end may not be good.

Jia Qing smiled and said: "If the second uncle is afraid that his nephew will wrong him, it's not difficult, as long as I take someone to the place where he lives to check. If there is no problem, the nephew will take the punishment himself. "

Seeing Jia Qing's words, Jia Zheng felt relaxed, and knew that Jia Qing had already confirmed that Bu Guxiu had done a thing of self-defeating.It is naturally impossible for Jia Qing to investigate.It wasn't because he was afraid of finding out, or that nothing could be found out, but because once he agreed to let Jia Qing investigate, it meant that he didn't trust Jia Qing.

"There is no need to investigate, I already know about this matter, and I will deal with it later."

As Jia Zheng said, seeing Jia Qing's lips moving and wanting to speak, he sighed in his heart and said, "Forget it, I'll send him out of the house tomorrow, let him make a living elsewhere, and you don't have to look for it anymore." His trouble."

Jia Zheng's last words were to protect Bu Guxiu.

Jia Qing listened, although she didn't want to let him go so easily.Because he knew that once a person was kicked out, he would not think that the Jia family let him go, but would hold a grudge because of it.

Although it may not necessarily pose any threat to the current Jia Mansion, it is a hidden danger after all.

However, Jia Zheng has given him a lot of face, so he can't force him too much.Even if it is a family, face must be given to each other, and this is the way to live for a long time.

"Since the second uncle is kind and intends to forgive him, then I will not pursue it anymore."

Jia Zheng nodded, and didn't want to say anything else, he said, "Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go back first."

"Yes." Jia Qing got up, saluted Jia Zheng, and then exited the study.

"Quick, be careful, don't touch it."

At a place on the pier outside the city, two ships docked on the shore.At this time, more than a dozen people were busy unloading the goods, which attracted passing merchants to stop and watch.

"What are they doing?"

A person who came from behind didn't see the reason clearly, and asked when he saw the crowd watching in amazement.

"Zizi, these rich and noble families are really leisurely and elegant. It is really eye-opening to conjure up such a method."

The person who came didn't understand it, so he simply leaned forward and went to see it by himself.

"What are they doing with these trees in the car?"

The person next to him looked back at him and said: "Didn't you see the fruit that is full of it? It is obvious that this is a servant of some unknown family. He sent fruit from the south to the nobles. In order to keep it fresh, he took the whole tree The tree and even the soil were dug up and transported to the capital by boat."

The visitor took a closer look, and sure enough, the tree was full of fruits.

"It turned out to be lychees. That's no wonder. It's the most undistributed thing, and it's rare in the north. If those big families want to eat it, they have to bring it back from the south. However, it's too wasteful to waste such a large project."

Another person interjected: "You don't care if he hurts money or not, those big families, who cares about this little money? As long as you want to eat, there is nothing that the people below can't get."

Everyone was relieved, then sighed again, and each walked away.

"Hey, let Second Master Yun see, be careful with your wages!"

On a freight carriage, seven or eight people worked together to lift a tree onto the cart, and fixed it with ropes and planks. The others went back to help, and the remaining three took care of it.One of them, taking advantage of people not paying attention, secretly grabbed a fruit from the top, was seen by his companions, and hurriedly stopped.

The person in charge of driving the car in front also turned around and said: "That's not right, you can't eat as much as you want in the south, why bother to take such a risk? In order to get these trees to go to the capital, I don't know how much effort Erye Yun wasted, but he made a special trip for the two prefectures. If the gift from the master in the house is messed up, don't even think about it, kid."

The one who stole the fruit was a younger one, originally he wanted to talk about so many fruits, and it’s okay to steal some, but he heard what they said seriously, and he also looked at it squarely, quickly put the fruit in his hand, and didn’t dare to think about it again.

There were a total of eight carriages parked on the road, and Jia Yun was relieved when all the carriages were tied with fruit trees, and they checked one side by themselves, and they were indeed fixed to death.

"Okay, let's go!"
