dream of red mansion

Chapter 545
When Jia Qing returned to the garden again, Lin Ruhai saw Jia Qing's preoccupied look, and asked, "What makes you so uneasy?"

Jia Qing collected himself and replied, "Nothing."

"You don't want to say it."

Lin Ruhai didn't care, and then said: "I just met Yu'er, and I'm very relieved to know that she is doing well here. Since the old lady loves her granddaughter and doesn't want her to leave her side, I can't refute her old man. I mean, remember to bring her back to see more when you have time.

I just entered Beijing, and everything is complicated, so I won't stay with you any longer. "

Jia Qing smiled inwardly, if you don't intend to keep Sister Lin here, how can your granddaughter be better than your own daughter?But Jia Qing didn't want Daiyu to go back with Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai was a loyal minister who cared about his career and disregarded his family.

"Why doesn't foster father leave after lunch?"

"No."

Lin Ruhai got up directly, Jia Qing had no choice but to step forward to help him, and personally sent him back home.

When I came back, I happened to see Wang Shun and Ma Jun carrying a big box to the main hall.

"What the hell is this?"

"Hee hee, Second Master, this is a gift sent by the Golden Retriever Prince of Li Fan Yuan."

"Oh? What gift did he give me this year?"

"Grandpa, I've seen them, they are all good things, and there are three foreign guns!"

Foreign guns?

"open to take a look!"

Ma Jun hurriedly opened the box, took out one of the large boxes, and lifted the cover. Sure enough, there were three standard foreign guns lying quietly in it.It was bigger than the one Golden Retriever gave him before, and not as delicate.

He knocked Wang Shun casually, and scolded: "You dare to accept anything?"

This kind of musket, Jia Qing asked Golden Retriever several times, but he said that there were not many, and asked Jia Qing to change it to something else, but now he offered it on his own initiative, maybe it was tricky.

Wang Shun argued: "Don't worry, Lord, the Golden Retriever Prince has taken a fancy to our wine. Look, this big box is full of rare treasures, worth a lot of money!"

Jia Qing took a look, and indeed, a box half a meter square was full of rare jewels, many of which were imperial items, supposed to be rewarded by the emperor, but he gave them to him.

"How much does he want?"

"Not much, just ten cars, far worse than this box."

Ten carts of Wuliangye is indeed far worse than this box.Although his wine is expensive, a jar is worth at least five taels of silver, but ten carts are only worth a thousand taels of silver.

This box of things is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Is this golden retriever stupid?
These foreigners are really strange. Wouldn't it be more convenient to have such a big penny to buy with their own money?That's all, with the reason of not taking advantage of the bastard, I will accept the things first and then talk about it.

"Okay, everything is in the warehouse, Ma Jun, you go to Mr. Chao and prepare ten carts of good wine to send to the golden retriever prince. Remember, you still have to record the books according to the routine, and don't embarrass Mr. Chao .”

The two of Wang Shun got orders.They knew that the second master would definitely not refuse.In the past, the second master would never refuse to accept the things that came to his door, so they dared to accept these things without first consulting Jia Qing.

Ma Jun suddenly twitched: "Second Master, can I give you a smaller one for this foreign musket?"

He has seen the power of this thing.Back then in Yangzhou, Bai Chi of the White Lotus Sect had such a high level of skill, wasn't he shot to the ground by Jia Qing twice, unable to move?

If I bring this thing with me in the future, I won't be afraid even if I meet a peerless master!

Jia Qing asked with a smile: "You know how to use this thing?"

Ma Jun said flatteringly: "No, but the little one knows that the second master can, as long as the second master is willing to teach the little one, the little one will be able to learn it soon."

As if afraid of Jia Qing's reluctance, Ma Jun continued: "It's not that the little ones are greedy for good things, second master, think about it, although the younger ones have learned a lot of boxing and kicking skills under the cultivation of the second master, after all, the days of learning are a bit shorter, It can't compare to those madmen who have been wielding swords and swords all their lives in the arena.

But if there is such a thing, it is not a small advocacy, even if it is against the real master of the Wudang sect, the small ones will not be afraid!

Cough cough, of course, the little one thinks so because of the safety of the second master,..."

Jia Qing just smiled when he heard Ma Jun's words.If muskets were so powerful, who in the rivers and lakes would still wield knives and swords?All went to the musket camp to steal!Although this thing is very powerful, it is very inconvenient to use. It is not necessarily better than a quick knife and a sharp sword.

But what Ma Jun said is right, if the guards around him have this thing on them, the chances of others sneaking up on him will be much less, after all, it is a weapon that can be used for long-distance support...

Three, it just so happens that Ma Jun and the three of them can match.

"It's not difficult to give you one... Forget it, I won't give it to you for the time being, let's talk about it later."

Ma Jun's expression changed from happy to sad, he didn't understand why Jia Qing regretted it, he had no choice but to accept the order, and after sending the things in with Wang Shun, he took people out of the city to run a business.

After Jia Qing went back to the house and had lunch, Lai Da went back and forth to Jia Qing. Jiao Da had completely died, and asked Jia Qing how to deal with the funeral.

"Jiao Da has served the ancestors since he was a child. He has made countless contributions and guarded the Jia family all his life. He will not rest until his death. Even if he is a servant, his loyalty to my family, even if he is a child of my generation, he needs to be ashamed.

Since I inherited the foundation of my ancestors, I haven't made an inch of merit. At this time when my loyal soul is dying, how dare I be contemptuous?

He said that Jiao Da was buried generously with the ceremony of the descendants of the Jia family.

Three days later, during the funeral, all the servants of Ningguo Mansion, no matter how big or small, must come to worship incense and mourn in person, so as to comfort the heroic spirits forever. "

Jia Qing spoke seriously.

Lai Da knew that this was Jia Qing's eulogy for Jiao Da, and it could be announced in public on the day of the funeral.

"Second Lord, will this be too much to mobilize the teachers, and it is not in line with the etiquette. Our family has never had such a precedent since our ancestors."

It's fine to bury according to the etiquette of the descendants of the direct branch, but it's just a little extra money, and it's none of his business.But it would be too much work for all the servants to worship.

And he is also a servant, why should we worship...

"Just do as I say. After three days, whoever violates my words will be blamed."

"Yes." Lai Sheng hurriedly said, he felt Jia Qing staring at him, and knew that even he would have to worship Jiao Da that day.

That's all, isn't it just to burn incense for the dead, and it's no big deal.

"Second Master, where is Jiao Da's cemetery suitable? He is an orphan and has no children. He bought a piece of land in Yizhuang outside the city?"

Jia Qing said: "I remember that next to the sleeping place of the ancestors in the family temple, there is still a piece of wasteland. Clear it up and give it to Jiao Da."

Lai Sheng exclaimed in surprise, "How can this be done?"

Jia Qing snorted coldly and said, "Why can't this be done? I just want to tell the people in the world that in my Jia family, as long as you are loyal to your duties and never betray, even the servants will be recognized and respected by the family.

In addition, pass on my words. After this, as long as those who have made great contributions to our Jia family live in Jia's family forever, they are eligible to be buried in the family temple.On the contrary, all unfilial children in the clan are not allowed to enter the family temple and ancestral land after death, because such children are not qualified to accept offerings and worship from future generations! "

Lai Sheng said: "If the words of the second master are passed on, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar, and the clan elders will definitely object..."

Jia Qing glanced at him indifferently: "Just do as I say, and you don't have to worry about anything else."

Lai Sheng sighed inwardly, he knew that in the current family, there was almost no one who could shake Jia Qing, only Jia Mu and Jia Jing were not good at managing affairs, and loved Jia Qing very much.Under such circumstances, if Jia Qing insisted on doing so, no one would be able to object.

But then again, it's a good thing for them...
