dream of red mansion

Chapter 561

But Jia Qing didn't give them a chance to ask any more questions, and said to Jia Mu with a smile: "Old Ancestor, for the sake of your grandson asking for a reward today and gaining your old face, can you allow your grandson to act recklessly for a while?" , use your place to do something?"

Then Jia Mu said to Aunt Xue: "Look, Madam, it's clear that he has benefited himself, but now he is making demands for my face. I can't do what he wants with such treachery. "

Aunt Xue said: "Look at what the old lady said, my brother is capable and promising outside, that's because you have taught me well. Now that he has been rewarded by the emperor, it is natural for the old lady to make you look good. According to me Look, the old lady might as well follow him."

Aunt Xue laughed.

Then Mother Jia turned to Jia Qing and said, "Forget it, because your aunt is speaking for you, I will obey you. Tell me, what do you want to borrow my place for?"

Jia Qing smiled mysteriously: "The old ancestor will know later."

Jia Qing looked around and found a tall table next to Mrs. Wang's screen, so he went over and moved it to the middle, while ordering someone to get a pen and paper.

When Tanchun saw him, he lowered his head and said to Yingchun and Daiyu: "Look, second brother is going to write an article on the spot, isn't he? It's so mysterious!"

Daiyu laughed and said, "We just have to wait and see, he has so many tricks in his stomach, who knows what he's going to do this time."

When the maid brought the pen and paper, Jia Qing spread the paper on the high table, went to Mother Jia again, and held up the gold with a smile.

Jia Muyin scolded: "Look at your worthless appearance, are you still afraid that I will cheat on you?"

Jia Qing said awkwardly: "It's useful, I'm useful." After finishing speaking, he quickly ran away.

Putting the things on the high table, Jia Qing lifted a stool and sat in front, dipped the pen and wrote a few strokes on the paper, before everyone came forward to read what he wrote, he suddenly turned serious and serious He called out, "Jia Yingchun."

Everyone was silent.Yingchun blinked her eyes. It had been a long time since she had been called by her name like that, let alone Jia Qing.

Clearly knowing that it was unreasonable for Jia Qing to call her that, but looking at Jia Qing's eyes, she felt that it would be wrong to ignore her, so she whispered: "I'm..."

The voice is soft and soft.For a while, Jia Qing only felt that Yingchun in this appearance was too cute.

Jia's mother was dissatisfied and said, "What tricks are you doing? You named her whatever you want."

Jia Qing said: "Old ancestor, please be safe and don't be impatient."

Mother Jia was a little upset.This grandson is a little bit over the top.

She resisted not interrupting him.Seeing Jia Qinglang said again: "Jia Yingchun, come forward to receive the reward."

Uh? ?

"Pfft..."

"Hahaha, second brother, you are too funny!"

Xiang Yun had been watching Jia Qing's performance silently, but couldn't help laughing at this moment.

Everyone else laughed.They finally understood why Jia Qing wanted to call Yingchun by her full name. This was, this was a scene of imitating the rewards given by the officials to the common people.

Could it be that Jia Qing was addicted to being rewarded by the emperor today, and wanted to experience the feeling of being a rewarder?

Jia's mother finally understood what Jia Qing meant, and said, "Brother Qing, you are messing around again. How can you just give away the things the emperor gave you? Besides, what's the use of these things for their sisters? You want to give them away?" They just choose some cosmetics, hairpins, hairpins, etc. to give them."

This plate of gold ingots is not too many, they are all two or two in weight, and there are a total of fifty ingots.But it’s not a lot, and each ingot is worth more than 20 taels of silver.
Jia Qing said with a smile: "The things the emperor sent were meant to be. I thought it would be useless to put them in the warehouse. It's better to distribute them to the sisters. First, they can feel happy. Second, if they If there is a small piece of jewelry that is missing, if you take it out and ask someone to melt it, you can make a piece of jewelry you want. Wouldn’t it be a bit commemorative? At least if one of them is not very good at living and makes themselves poor, they can also bring it Emergency Messenger is not."

Mother Jia didn't say anything.Jia Qing's words are very clear, he just wants to pamper the sisters in his family, for fear that they will be short or bad, and even afraid that they will live a "poor" life.The word "poor" is such a strange word in Jia's house.However, Mother Jia knew that it did exist, and it wasn't just among the slaves.Inside the master, there are also some...

But this is the law of the big family.Even if Jia Mu knew it, she would not try to change it.Because, the difference between superiority and inferiority is often determined by the control of money.

Mrs. Xing is the eldest sister-in-law, and Mrs. Wang is the sister-in-law.Logically, Mrs. Xing should be respected, but the fact is that everyone knows that Mrs. Wang is the most honorable one among the two sisters-in-law.

Another example is Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan.On the surface, both of them were Jia Zheng's sons, and the monthly money was the same, two taels of silver.But can they both be the same?The money that Jia's mansion spends on Jia Baoyu every year is at least dozens of times that of Jia Huan!Compared with Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan is poor.

Seeing that Mother Jia was silent, Yingchun didn't dare to move. Aunt Xue said with emotion: "In the whole family, it's rare to have a promising child who is so generous to his sisters. The old lady might as well fulfill my brother's wish." Bar."

Jia Mu said: "How can he be generous? It's clear that he is used to living in wealth and honor and doesn't know how to be thrifty. Just to be able to live a life of addiction, even the gold that makes others' eyes shine when they hear it is like a lump of dirt. go out.

But anyway, it's not my own thing, I don't care what to do, he can give it to whoever he wants.Otherwise, her sisters would blame me in their hearts. "

Tan Chun stood up and smiled and said, "Whatever the old ancestor said, our affairs are naturally up to the old ancestor, so there is no reason to complain. If the old ancestor thinks that the second brother's actions are inappropriate, then we don't want his reward. That's it."

Daiyu also echoed: "What the third sister said is true. It is clear that the second elder brother thought about the addiction of the official and used us as beggars. We shouldn't bend our waists for this stinking thing, but he doesn't want to make him proud."

Daiyu's words were obviously mean to Jia Qing.

After listening to the words of her two granddaughters, Jia's mother was very relieved.But she still said: "Forget it, you should follow him, otherwise he will definitely think that I broke his business today, and will charge it to me later. I obviously didn't get any benefit from this, so it's nothing. If it’s not, it’s not a loss.”

Jia Qing hurriedly said: "The old ancestor is right..." Jia Qing was afraid that the plan would fail, so he didn't think about it carefully.

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.Mother Jia glared at Jia Qing.

Jia Qing didn't want to delay any longer, and read again: "Jia Yingchun..."

Everyone wanted to laugh for no reason.

Yingchun hesitated for a moment, seeing that everyone was waiting for her, she could only walk over coyly.

Jia Qing picked up two gold ingots and put them in her hands, then happily wrote a few words on the paper as if he had won a reward, and read:
"Jia Yingchun, two bounty ingots, please accept them at the court."

Everyone thought it was too funny for him to appear alive, but they were more concerned about who he would be called next.

Yingchun walked back to the seat, holding the gold ingot tightly in her hands.It's not that she attaches too much importance to it, but that it's the first time she "receives a reward" like this, and she feels nervous.

"Xue Baochai~"

Xue Baochai sat next to Aunt Xue.Hearing this, he secretly thought: Sure enough.

After taking off the skirt, she also stood up and walked to Jia Qing's side, her expression was much calmer than Yingchun's.It's just to accompany Jia Qing to amuse the elders, she thought.

Jia Qing also took two gold ingots and put them in her hands.Baochai didn't say anything after receiving it, but actually formally blessed him and said, "Thank you brother Qing."

Jia Qing raised his head in surprise, and thought to himself: Oh, not bad, Sister Bao, you're pretty good at it!
Jia Qing knew very well that there would not be many opportunities to make mistakes like this in the future, and he thought that he should always respond with something...

"Well, you're welcome, take it home and live a good life."

"puff……"

This is the third time Daiyu has laughed like this today.Of course, there are countless people like her present.

Jiamu laughed for a while and said, "Hou'er Hou'er, you are not afraid of your aunt getting angry if you tease your sister Bao like this?"

Aunt Xue replied with a smile: "How come, he is so easy-going, which means that he doesn't treat us as outsiders. I can only be happy. Bao girl, your brother Qing is joking with you, don't be annoyed."
