dream of red mansion

Chapter 672 Invitation

After arranging things outside, Jia Qing was going to visit Cuiliu, but on the way, he remembered that he hadn't visited Second Sister You for a long time, so he turned to take a look.

She entrusted her innocence to herself, but she didn't even have any status. If she ignored her, it would be too heartless.

Jia Qing entered through the small gate and stepped into the yard on Mrs. You's side, but saw a person he was not very happy about.

"Second uncle..."

Jia Rong was also taken aback when she saw Jia Qing, and hurriedly saluted.

"what are you doing here?"

Jia Qing glanced at Ling'er who was watering the flowers in the next flowerbed.

"I... I was going to pay my respects to my mother, and I met Miss Ling'er on the way, so I stood up and said a few words to her..."

Jia Rong said awkwardly.

"Then you don't go yet."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Jia Rong immediately ran away and disappeared.

Jia Qing stood there, silent for a moment, and said: "I told you last time, don't play dirty tricks in the house. I can tolerate you once, but I won't tolerate you a second time. Although Jia Rong is not a weapon, , but he is also a child of my Jia family, if you incite him to do something he should not do, I will not forgive you."

Ling'er paused with the hand holding the watering can, raised her head, and said with a sad smile: "Instigate? Second Master thinks I will instigate Uncle Xiao Rong to do something?
Is it to instigate him to challenge the authority of the second master, or to encourage him to take back his wife? "

Jia Qing's walking figure stopped, turned back and said coldly: "Are you forcing me?!"

"Second Master admits it?"

Ling'er asked back as if she didn't feel the cold murderous intent in Jia Qing's eyes.

"What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? What do I want most? Doesn't the second master know?"

"I don't like women who are too smart, and I don't like being threatened."

Jia Qing put down these words lightly, turned around and left.

As long as he wanted to, he could destroy the lives of her assigned relatives, including her mother. He believed that Ling'er didn't dare to really provoke him.

Jia Qing didn't know, how much trouble he caused for him in the future due to his temporary toughness and indifference...

……

In Mengpozhai, Jia Zheng's first words when he met Jia Qing were: "My lord ordered me to be the governor of Zhejiang, and I will take office soon. From now on, I need you to pay more attention to the affairs of this mansion.

It's okay, come and talk to the old lady more often, she likes you to make fun of her the most. "

When Jia Qing heard this, he was surprised: "Governor of Zhejiang?"

Jia Zheng nodded, and said, "I never thought that the Holy Majesty would treat me so favorably. Up to now, I am still a little apprehensive, fearing that I will owe the Holy Grace."

Jia Zheng thought Jia Qing was surprised that he had been promoted too many levels.

In fact, Jia Qing was surprised that this was too coincidental.Just now he was discussing with Yang Xu and the others the issue of "Suhu is cooked, the world is full", and he planned to focus on collecting grain from these two places. In a blink of an eye, Jia Zheng was appointed governor of Zhejiang.

Is this the feeling of having a pillow when you want to sleep in the legend?

"Master, don't worry. You have worked in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, and your reputation is obvious to all. Your Majesty has seen how well the affairs of the Princess Mansion have been handled by the Master. Knowing that the Master is a capable person, naturally he will spare no effort."

When Jia Qing asks for something, the flattery comes whenever he wants.

After Jia Zheng thought about it, he felt that what Jia Qing said made sense, so he stopped entangled.He has made up his mind that when he arrives in Zhejiang, he must make some achievements in his political affairs, so as to live up to Emperor Zhengqing's cultivation.

Jia Qing was very happy to see Jia Zheng, and said naturally, "Master, you know that Zhejiang is a major grain-producing province. I happen to be planning to stockpile a batch of grain. When the time comes, I will ask you to help me save me the trouble of collecting from the people."

Every year, the common people have to pay the imperial grain. It is impossible for the government to transport these grains to the capital as they are. Most of them have to be sold to local grain merchants and exchanged for silver taels as tax revenue.

"Why do you buy food?"

"Didn't I open two wineries for brewing wine?"

Jia Zheng is Confucian orthodox, and he calls himself a gentleman.If he knew that Jia Qing was also engaged in the "hoarding" business, he would definitely be angry.It will be troublesome to explain at that time, so Jia Qing said so.

Jia Zheng said, "Well, why bother to find those? You don't have enough money in your house?"

Once the matter of visiting relatives in Yuanchun was over, Rongguo Mansion's sense of economic urgency disappeared, so Jia Zheng also returned to the kind of aloofness that regards money as dung.

"Hey, it's okay to be idle, just treat it as a joke." Jia Qing explained in this way.

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Qing.

Just because he doesn't care doesn't mean he doesn't understand.Jia Qing's perfunctory words, how could he not understand that Jia Qing didn't want to talk too much with him, and it happened that he didn't want to discuss small business matters with Jia Qing, so he said that he would keep the food for him and let him distribute People go, just buy it at the public price.

The price of the public house is generally much cheaper than that of the grain dealers, and it saves trouble!
Save trouble, save money.

Therefore, Jia Qing happily withdrew from Meng Po Zhai.

Turning around all the way to Rongqing Hall, unexpectedly met a few eunuchs on the road, and the leader was Lu Fang.

Jia Qing thought that Princess Xingyue finally remembered to make trouble for him, so she hid away and did not let the other party see.

The reason why he skipped work can be said to be suffering from a serious illness. It would not be very good if Lu Fang saw him alive and well at home.

Later, I thought it was wrong, Princess Xingyue was looking for trouble, so she should have gone to Ningguo Mansion, why did she come to Rongguo Mansion?
After arriving at Rongqing Hall, Jia Qing realized that he was not the one looking for him.

Princess Xingyue sent Lu Fang to invite all the sisters from the Jia family to play at her house!
"Old ancestor, I think it's better not to let the second sister and the others go."

Jia Qing said this to Jia's mother.

"Nonsense, what a great honor it is to be invited by the princess, why not go? You forgot, last time the princess sent someone to bring fruit over for your sisters to eat together?"

If it was in the past, Jia Qing might not have this worry, Princess Xingyue is still a royal family, so she wouldn't do anything to the sisters of the Jia family.But after what happened last time, Jia Qing knew the value of Princess Xingyue's hatred for him without guessing.

Just let Yingchun and the others pass by like this, Jia Qing is really worried.He didn't want the sisters to be wronged for no reason.

"However, the princess is a princess after all, and there are strict rules in the princess mansion. What if the second sister and the others are careless and offend the princess?
Besides, we don't know if the princess has invited others besides the second sister and the others. If the princess invites other royal ladies, wouldn't it be more troublesome then? " Jia Qing persuaded in a roundabout way.

Jia's mother was also worried about this, so she said: "Aren't you working in the princess mansion, take care of it tomorrow, and don't let them bump into the nobleman."

"must go?"

"Naturally."

Jia's mother was a little puzzled: "In the past, what you objected to most was that your sisters stayed in the house all day long, why are you not happy to let them go out to see and see this time?
Why don't you ask Yingchun and the others to see if they are willing to go, and then what do you say? "

Needless to say, if Jia Mu didn't object, Jia Qing knew that Yingchun and the others would naturally not refuse to go out to play.

Sure enough, after a while, sisters Sanchun and Xiangyun came, and they were very happy when they heard that they were going to the princess mansion.

"That's great, I just want to see what it's like for the second brother to be the commander, it must be fun!"

Xiangyun expressed his wishes.

"Brother, is the Princess Mansion nice? Is it nicer than our garden?" Xichun walked to Jia Qing's side, pulled the corner of his clothes, and asked in a low voice.

Jia Qing reached out to wipe off the sweat from her little nose, and said with a smile, "Naturally it looks good, do you want to see it?"

"Want to see..."

Alas, Jia Qing didn't persuade him anymore.Since Xichun and the others want to go, let's go.The big deal is to go with them tomorrow. I believe Princess Xingyue will not take her anger out on the sisters when she sees him.

Jia Qing suddenly felt that perhaps this was the reason why Princess Xingyue invited her sisters to play.
