dream of red mansion

Chapter 481
"Ahem, she has always been such a nice person, she is very warm to everyone..."

After Qin Keqing left, Jia Qing explained this to Wu Xian'er.Wu Xian'er glanced at him indifferently, did not respond, and said suddenly: "I have something to tell you."

"what?"

"I want to move here."

Seeing Jia Qing's surprised face, Wu Xian'er said: "Senior Sister Fu and the others all live here now, so it's more convenient for me to be here. Besides, there are so many maidservants in your room, there is no need for me to stay in your room... ..."

Jia Qing said: "But, my injury is still not healed, so you just have the heart to leave me like this?" Then he stretched his neck to Wu Xian'er's side, hehe said: "Or...you see that there are too many maids in my room, are you jealous? "

Wu Xian'er was slightly taken aback, staring at Jia Qing for a while, then suddenly tossed her head and said, "Eat you big-headed ghost!"

"Hahahahaha..."

Wu Xian'er's sudden curse words gave Jia Qing a refreshing feeling.

"Haha, Meng, it's not that I don't want to promise you, but it's better for you to stay in my room now..."

Jia Qing said, beckoning Wu Xian'er to come over, and said in a low voice: "Think about it, everyone in this mansion knows that you are the servant girl sent to me by the King of Beijing, so what if you moved to the backyard within a few days after arriving in the mansion? What’s going on? It’s easy to cause other people’s discussions. It’s better to wait for a while, after you get familiar with the situation in the mansion and everyone accepts your identity, it’s not too late to move here to take charge of the guards yourself.”

Wu Xian'er thought for a while, and slowly said: "What you said is reasonable, well, then according to what you said, wait for a while before moving."

"That's right, this is good..."

Wu Xian'er glanced at Jia Qing and Pei Feng, and said, "I'll go back and have a look." Then she turned and walked back.

Jia Qing looked at the beautiful figure she left with a smile on her face, and said, "Hmm, a cooked duck can still make you fly..."

"Duck? What duck?" Peifeng stretched her neck in front of Jia Qing and asked curiously.

"I said, let's eat stewed duck with fresh mushrooms tonight!"

Jia Qing pushed Peifeng's head away with one finger, and said casually.

"Oh." Peifeng covered her head with one hand, and pushed Jia Qing back to the main courtyard with the other.

……

Still in the study room, Jia Qing waited for Jia Rong who came to pay his respects and said, "Your father-in-law Qin Bangye is dead, do you know?"

"My nephew just found out..."

"The Qin family is short of people, Young Master Qin Zhong doesn't care about anything, but since Qing is the young mistress of my Ningguo Mansion, it is inconvenient to come forward to take care of the funeral for her father. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

How to deal with it?Jia Rong said in her heart: how do I know how to deal with it...

"This, my nephew doesn't know, please tell my second uncle..."

Even though he knew that Jia Rong was an idiot, Jia Qing was a little disappointed by his slow response.But he didn't want to be angry with him, so he said: "Our two families are relatives by marriage. Now that the Qin family has undergone such a change, Qin Zhong can't support the big event. Therefore, as a brother-in-law, you can help Qin Zhong take care of his father's funeral ,how do you feel?"

Only then did Jia Rong realize what Jia Qing meant for him to come over, and she wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that Jia Qing would be unhappy, so she hesitated.

"Why, you don't want to?"

"No, no, everything is according to my second uncle's orders, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that funerals are expensive. The Qin family has always been poor, so I don't think they have any extra property for this matter. If it's done in a hurry, why do I need to go? Wouldn't that make our Jia family look bad..."

Although Qin Bangye was an official in the Ministry of Industry, he had no extra income other than a small salary.Even the savings of most of his life have been almost consumed by Qin Zhong's studies over the years... Jia Rong knows that Qin's family is poor.

"Since you are asked to go, naturally you can't do it hastily. After all, he is Keqing's father! You can follow the rules of ordinary court officials."

"But, this silver...?"

Jia Qing frowned: "No matter how poor the Qin family is, there is still some money for the funeral. Even if it's not enough, there's still a limit to supplement it. Why, as a son-in-law, you're reluctant to pay even this little money? Do you want me to give it?"

Jia Rong said awkwardly, "My nephew has no money..."

Jia Qing sneered and said: "You have no money? Your monthly money is five taels. In the past, the master missed you and lost your mother when you were young. He took extra pity on you and let you receive ten taels of silver every month. Your expenses are comparable to those of the maids in your yard. The monthly money of servants and attendants is drawn from the officials, and you don’t need to spend money. Where did your monthly money go? If I remember correctly, when my wife was alive, I gave a Zhuangzi in her dowry separately to You have been letting your nanny's son take care of it for you. I heard that although the village is not big, it still has an annual output of 200 taels of silver. In addition, you have been working as a errand for these years, and you should have made money from it. A lot of silver..."

Jia Rong was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to argue: "Second Uncle Mingjian, my nephew will never dare, and never dare to do things that are greedy for ink." Being stared at by Jia Qing, she cowardly kept her mouth shut.

Jia Qing said indifferently: "That's all for nothing, I'm too lazy to argue with you about these trivial matters, but, obviously I gave you 1000 taels of silver before, don't tell me that you have already spent all of it."

Jia Rong looked troubled and said, "Second Uncle, you gave me the money because you told me not to get involved in the garden. Now that the garden has been built, the money should be spent..."

The voice is a little guilty.In fact, he had already spent the 1000 taels of silver.

When Jia Qing heard about it, he really couldn't laugh or cry.Feelings, he thinks that other people get paid for doing things, and he has to get paid if he is ordered not to do things.

Smiling in his heart, Jia Qing didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and said: "Forget it, you take Steward Liu there, and you can get the money and things you need from here!"

Jia Qing didn't want Jia Rong to pay the money at first, after all, he took the matter for Qin Keqing's sake.He just couldn't understand Jia Rong's begging and begging appearance.

"That's no problem." Jia Rong was overjoyed. If this was the case, it wouldn't be a hard job, and maybe I could make some money out of it...

"Nephew, go down and get ready..."

"Go down!" Jia Qing waved his sleeves to let Jia Rong leave.In this matter, it is enough for Jia Rong to come forward, and it is more reasonable.

Jia Qing found that it might not be such a bad thing to have such a worthless guy in the family.It can't break his business, but it can be used occasionally, and when you have nothing to do, you can also use it to adjust the pace of life.
Thinking of this, Jia Qing rarely faced Jia Rong without a trace of anger, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps, it was Jia Rongguan's performance that made him relax his vigilance. He lost his scruples and became calm before he could think about the problem from another aspect.Jia Rong is no longer his obstacle!
