Mother Jia leaned on the couch and listened to Mama Lai tell jokes outside. Mama Lai was dressed in a lychee dark pattern hydrangea gown, and a white jade ruyi hairpin on her head.

The mandarin duck lifted the soft curtain of Guanggauze Western brocade and said with a smile: "It's strange today, Baoyu just asked someone to send flowers, and this time Brother Cong and Brother Huan sent people to send fruits again?"

Mama Lai smiled kindly: "What's so strange about this? The brothers are all good children, and the old lady didn't hurt them in vain." ”

Jia Mu squinted and smiled, stroked the pearls on her head and wiped her forehead, and said, "You don't know, Baoyu has always been filial, but these two little ......" said, raised her eyelids, and asked the mandarin duck: "What fruit did you send, ask someone to bring it to me to see." ”

I saw Jia Cong's nurse Li Nanniang carrying a thin bamboo basket in, the basket was particularly delicately braided, and the flowers were tied with ribbons, and the basket was filled with peaches, pears, loquats, lychees, pomegranate grapes and other colorful fruits, colorful, harmonious, very good-looking.

"Oh, this goose is yellow and green, weird and cute, I can't bear to touch it. ”

Mama Lai made a joke on the side. Jia Mu smiled: "If you like it, just bring it back." ”

Mama Lai smiled and said: "If it is the side, I will not be polite, but this is my brother's filial piety to the old lady, and I am embarrassed to ask for it after such a work...... Cheekily begged the old lady to pick up some fruits and teach them to taste them all in the house. ”

Jia Mu smiled and instructed the mandarin duck: "Pick up some fruits and put them on the jade plate, and put the rest on the powder plate, and send them to Baoyu Daiyu and let them taste them too." ”

Grandma Li hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Baoyu has already sent someone to send it." There are also Miss Lin and Miss Bao, several girls and grandmothers, and people have sent them everywhere. ”

Jia Mu frowned slightly. The mandarin duck smiled beside him: "In this way, most of the fruits sent by the two brothers are more than half a car?"

Grandma Li couldn't speak, and said busily: "This is just a little sincerity from our brother." ”

"If it's sincere, why don't you see your brother send it in person?" Mama Lai teased casually.

Grandma Li was afraid that Jia's mother would have a prejudice against Jia Cong, so she hurriedly explained: "My brother was going to send it in person, but I was still cleaning up, so the second wife and the second grandmother asked Miss Ping to call my brother over......"

Mother Jia glanced at Granny Li with a smile, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

"No matter how naughty my brother is, he is also filial. ”

When Mama Lai said this, she saw that Mother Jia's brows stretched a little, and she smiled again: "Didn't the old lady say just now that she used a little rose and walnut stuffed dim sum at noon, and her chest was very greasy. ”

In Mrs. Wang's courtyard, Mrs. Wang was saying: "In the past, I didn't theorize, even if you were ...... one by one"

As he spoke, he heard Caiyun walk in with Mama Lai and said, "Mama Lai is here." ”

Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordered Sister Jin Chu'er to bring a stool to pour tea, and stood up with a smile, with a slight kindness on her face: "Mother Lai, sit." ”

Sister Feng and Ping'er also greeted her with a smile, saw a salute, and said, "Aunt Lai came in early and late, why did you come here." ”

Mama Lai smiled: "Come in and talk to the old lady, it's time to go out now, and I'm here to ask the ladies and grandmothers to kowtow." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "That day, I also told the daughter-in-law of the Lai family that I hadn't seen you come in for a long time, and the old lady thought that she should send a sedan chair to pick you up and have fun." Your daughter-in-law said that you were infected with the cold and were taking medicine, so I didn't dare to be alarmed. ”

Mama Lai hurriedly said: "In the past two days, the sky has become worse, I have a little cough, and I caught up with my grandson who fell and injured himself, and there was no one to take care of me at home, which made me have a headache." On that day, my wife gave me medicine, and I felt that my illness was lighter and gradually better. ”

Sister Feng smiled: "Aunt Lai is still so worried. You are now at home like an old lady, you should eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy Qingfu. ”

Mama Lai smiled: "The blessing is to enjoy, but if you don't worry about it, it's very rare." ”

As he spoke, because he saw Tanchun and Aunt Zhao and others, he couldn't help but ask again: "This is the ...... who wiped away tears from his eyes What's going on? ”

Ping'er smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the two brothers are naughty these days, and they are messing around outside all day, and the three girls are worried that they will cause trouble, so they sue the wife, and the wife called the two brothers to ask, but Aunt Zhao came to quarrel with the three girls, which made the three girls sad." ”

"It was for this. Auntie doesn't know, these brothers should be more disciplined and disciplined, otherwise, as soon as the child's temperament comes up, he will be naughty, and he may cause something to happen outside?"

Mama Lai said, and pointed to Jia Cong and Jia Huan: "I'm not afraid that you will hate me." Now my wife just called and asked. Back then, when you were young, you were all very naughty, that was beaten every day, not to mention the old lady, even when we looked at it, we were all very distressed, but no one dared to stop it. You still think that the three girls are in charge of you, which makes the three girls sad, don't you see Miss Lin and her mother back then, her eyes were red, and she said to the old lady and the old lady that she was annoyed, what a son, he was an enemy, and the stick with a big bowl mouth didn't know how many times he was interrupted. ”

Jia Cong rolled his eyes in his heart, Jia Min turned out to be a little complainant when he was a child, no wonder Jin Yu Liangyuan and Mu Shi Qianmeng could compete for a book.

According to the logic of ordinary people, Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother wrestle, Mrs. Wang should not have an advantage, why, Jia Zheng is the son of Jia's mother, in ancient times, as a daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, isn't it to find discomfort by yourself, and plan to comprehend and leave the new posture?

However, with Jia's mother to protect and take care of her, Lin Daiyu's days in Rongguo Mansion were forced by wind and frost and swords, and everyone knew that Lin Daiyu was sad and cried, but they all regarded it as a common thing.

The best way to consume food is to arrange people together, crying is hypocrisy, laughing is stupid, not crying or laughing is looking down on people, crying and laughing, crying and laughing, that is the attack of snake spirits, care and greetings, all for the next topic.

But Jia Yu and Jia Zheng never asked, is this the daughter of their sister-in-law?

In the past, Jia Cong thought that this was because Jia Yu and Jia Zheng were born cold-blooded, confused and ignorant of the world, two useless waste materials, feudal old and stubborn, how could they know how to cherish the good time of sister control?

But now, Jia Cong wants to know how many beatings Jia Yu and Jia Zheng have received because of Jia Min's complaint, so that the two brothers don't even want to deal with their sister-in-law's daughter!

Jia Cong complained silently, wanting to ask for Jia Yu and Jia Zheng's psychological shadow area.

As she was talking, Ping'er handed over the tea, and Mama Lai hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "How dare you do it?"

After taking the tea, Mama Lai said again: "But then again, this boy is a monkey, if he is not naughty, he is not a boy." It is said that the brother in the house is naughty, but my wife doesn't know, my grandson is even more naughty than my brother. He went out to play with those children, and he broke his leg and shed a big bowl of blood, and he was still depressed at home, and when he was healed, he went hunting with those children again. It's not good to be naughty, but if it's too strict, it's not good, and the restraint is bad, and this boy is not a girl's family, locked in the house all day long, and he can't change it for the rest of his life, so it's worrying. According to me, my wife doesn't have to stop my brother from going out, just call the people around my brother, watch carefully, and think more. If the brother is naughty outside, has a relationship with a bad boy, and refuses to study, he will go back and forth between his wife and his master. With the master here, Brother Liang doesn't dare to be naughty. ”

Mrs. Wang listened, nodded, and said to Sister Feng: "In this case, you will tell the people who follow Huan'er and them in a while, and they are not allowed to be naughty outside and miss their studies." ”

Sister Feng responded, and said angrily to Mama Lai: "Aunt Lai, in what you say, the girl's family should be locked in the house and strictly disciplined?"

Mama Lai hurriedly laughed and said: "How can it be? I have seen all the girls who are more naughty than my brother? However, that year, I was making a fuss about driving the boat by myself, grabbed it, and got Brother Lian off the boat with a penny, poured a belly of lake water, and teased that the girl's house was very hot and the cold water was just for cooking, and now it is no longer as naughty as before." ”

Sister Feng stomped her feet, pretending to be angry, and said with a smile: "It's hard to say, I'm more naughty than before." ”

The whole room laughed, as if the fuss just now was just a joke.

But the aftermath still existed, and when Jia Cong went to ask Mrs. Xing for peace on the second day, Mrs. Xing inevitably taught Jia Cong a lesson again.

For Jia Cong, who lost the silver to Jia Huan and bought fruits to distribute to everyone in the house, Mrs. Xing gave the title of a loser, a natural obscene seed, and a brute who spoiled things with a high-level thinking, and gave criticism and guidance from the perspective of frugality.

And Jia Cong silently recited the code of conduct of the protagonist Han Li, and confessed all the way, he was invincible in the world, and responded with silence.

Of course, Jia Cong just confessed to his face, turned his head, Jia Cong took out the silver, and ordered Zhao Guoji to invite the little guy next to Jia Yu to eat and drink.

Then, Jia Yu had a drink with his concubine one day, and was coaxed by his concubine to be happy, and promised to give things, but the little girl replied that the things had already been collected by his wife, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come out.

Men are most afraid of losing face in front of women, Jia Yu was so violent that he turned around and scolded Mrs. Xing when he saw his head and face.

When Jia's mother knew, she didn't give Mrs. Xing a good face, and only said something about people like us, who would rather be extravagant than stingy and make relatives laugh.

To deal with a miser like Mrs. Xing, Jia Cong only needs to be willing to sprinkle silver, and everyone has the money, and these subordinates in Rongguo Mansion may not have the work to achieve things, but the ability to do bad things is very good.

However, to deal with Tanchun, this trick didn't work, Jia Cong and Jia Huan also sent the fruit, but if they got the fruit, whether it was the master or the subordinate, they didn't seem to know that the fruit was originally bought for Tanchun, and they didn't know that Jia Huan bought the fruit because Tanchun made shoes for Baoyu, not for him, at most some broken-mouthed mother-in-law discussed a few words in private.

Jia Cong wanted to use public opinion to add a little chaos to Tanchun, but whether it was Jia's mother or Mrs. Wang, they didn't know, and Sister Feng also praised Tanchun for doing a good job.

It's completely different from what Jia Cong thought, women are not the people who hate making small reports behind their backs, they can sue this today, they can sue that tomorrow, they have no sense of security!

Why don't you fight with each other, but show off your friendship and sister-in-law, Jia Cong, who achieved the achievement of a great magician in her previous life, feels that the logic of women is really amazing.

Of course, if he could understand the logic of women, he would not have become a great magician who struggled to get out of the fireball in his previous life.

However, the unsuccessful pressure of public opinion does not mean that Jia Cong has no way to take Tanchun, and it is a big deal to close the door and let Aunt Zhao go.

However, Aunt Zhao's power is too great, and Jia Cong is generally reluctant to use it, but from then on, he and Jia Huan avoided Tanchun, and would rather and Jia Huan Jia Lan take a small bow to abuse birds and beasts than meet Tanchun.

When asked by others, Jia Huan usually snorted angrily, and Jia Cong said aggrievedly, he somehow offended the third sister, and he was afraid that the third sister would be angry, so he had to hide and play.

The attitude is indicated, what Tanchun thinks, Jia Cong doesn't know, but Sister Feng laughed and scolded at a young age, and her temperament is big, so she shouldn't know.

Shoot a deer with Jia Lan a few times, the wind gradually passed, Jia Cong and Jia Huan ran out again, of course, this time, he learned smart, and occasionally informed Ping'er before going out, saying where to go to listen to the story, watch a hundred plays, Ping'er is kind and kind, there is nothing that should not be.

When he went out, Jia Cong went to the place under the guise of making a pretense, and went to do his own thing with Jia Huan.

As for the family school, both of them are still sick, Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang didn't mention going to school, and they didn't bother to go to school.

On this day, Jia Cong made an appointment with Jia Huan to meet in a restaurant, waited for a long time to be bored, ordered live fish to make four dishes, crab noodles and other dishes did not come up, and he couldn't help but be hungry.

Who knew that Zhao Guoji came back from shopping, and a person came behind him, with a sturdy figure and a vulgar temperament, not like a good person, he arched his hand at Jia Cong and smiled: "Brother Cong, do you still recognize who I am?"

Jia Cong pretended to tilt his head innocently: "Look at the eyes, it seems that I have never seen it." ”

The man patted his chest and smiled: "I'm Ni Er, the one who lives in the back street." It was raining that time, and I asked Zhao Guoji to borrow an umbrella. ”

Jia Cong seemed to think about it, smiled, and said, "Uncle Ni." ”

Ni Er smiled and wanted to touch Jia Cong's head, but he didn't touch it, so he sat down, took a sip of tea, and said to Zhao Guoji: "...... It's not that I said, that Brother Qin is really not a thing, hooked up with the child daughter-in-law of the paint shop, came and went, and was pregnant, the little daughter-in-law was bluffing like something, Brother Qin was good, turned around and hid. The little daughter-in-law couldn't do it, so she bought a dose of medicine and drank it, hey, guess what, one corpse and two lives...... When I went to collect the debt, I ran into a commotion in his house, so I was angry, so I simply came out and asked someone to ask for it in a few days......"

Zhao Guoji smiled: "Second Brother Ni, you are really a righteous person. ”

Ni Er said with a smile: "Righteousness is not counted, but it is just a matter of having to be peaceful." ”

said, picked up the tea, and said, "Last time, my brother gave Lao Zhou the continuation book, do you know how it sold?"

Zhao Guoji secretly glanced at Jia Cong, and said uneasily: "These days, I don't go out of the house much, and I don't know the situation, is it not selling well?"

Ni Er laughed: "What's not good, it's all sold to the northwest, that guy from Lao Zhou, he also has a picture, what kind of picture book is divided, fine engraving, full of profiteers." ”

Zhao Guoji put his mind at ease and said, "If it sells well, it's good." ”

Ni Er knocked on the table: "Because that book sells well, and I introduced it, someone else has asked me to ask you for a book." How can this article be so easy to get, I wanted to refuse, but this begging person is really amazing...... I couldn't bear to turn him down. ”

Zhao Guoji smiled and shook his head: "What's the matter?"

Ni Er said with a smile: "I'm afraid you've also heard that next to Guozijian, there was a Zhang family bookstore, which was opened by his family." ”

Ni Er said that this person is a well-known loser, surnamed Zhang Minglou, the family has been scholarly for generations, and in the generation of Zhang Lou's father, because of the unsatisfactory career, he gave up his studies and became a Confucian businessman.

Originally, he opened a bookstore in Jinling, but because he made some money, he opened a branch shop in Beijing for the study of his only son Zhanglou.

This chapter building has been smart since childhood, after entering Beijing, he worshiped a Hanlin as a gentleman, and he grew up more and more, and he was born at the age of thirteen.

This chapter of the family book is spread out next to the Guozijian, and the prisoners of the Guozijian often go to buy books, and they buy too much, and they are familiar with the Zhang Lou who occasionally takes care of the business in the shop.

Among them, there is an acquaintance of the prisoner, surnamed Mei Zi Ren Yi, often invited Zhang Lou to a party, at first just poetry and painting will go out to go out, to the back is to eat, drink and have fun, lead Zhang Lou to the Qinglou to chat, to the gambling house to try his skills, play a lot of money, do everything.

When the money was not enough, he withdrew it from the bookshop's account, but when there was no money in the account, he stole it from his home, and only ruined this good seedling of reading into a prodigal child who ate, drank, prostitutes, and gambled.

That's not all, that Mei Renyi coaxed Zhang Lou to sign a few IOUs, and since then, the Zhang family has no peace.

Zhang Lou came to pay off the debt with the silver, but this Mei Renyi either said that the silver was not in the right condition, or the amount was insufficient, and he insisted on the same silver as he had been.

The Zhang family gave up their wealth to avoid disasters, and would rather spend more money to redeem the IOU, but this Mei Renyi didn't do it at first, and then the Zhang family asked someone to make peace, and finally redeemed it.

But within two days, this Mei Renyi came to the door with an IOU, and the Zhang family didn't pay it back, so they shouted everywhere to sue the court, and this toss came a few times, and Zhang Lou's father didn't come up in one breath, so he went.

His mother cried for a few days, and when she saw that her husband was dead, and her son did not know how to reflect on it, she couldn't think of it, so she put a knot around her neck and kicked her legs and went with her husband.

Zhang Lou regretted it at this time, but he didn't think that Zhang Lou's parents had not been buried, and Mei Ren Doctor came to collect the account again, Zhang Lou and Mei Ren Doctor reasoned, but Mei Ren ordered someone to break his leg and throw him out of the house.

Zhang Lou dragged his broken leg to sue the official, but it turned out that Mei Renyi had relatives who were Hanlin and knew many powerful people, and Zhang Lou's teacher was Hanlin, which was not bad.

But Na Hanlin had already dismissed an unfilial disciple like Zhang Lou, and there was no need to fight the lawsuit, and Zhang Lou couldn't win.

Since then, Zhang Lou has gone from being the son of a big family and a high-spirited scholar to a beggar with a broken leg on the street.

Ni Er sighed twice and said, "Didn't it snow a lot that winter? Many beggars in Beijing have become road down, and everyone says that this Zhang family brother has also become a lonely ghost on a mass grave. Who knows, he actually begged all the way back to Jinling, changed his mind, from a young man, to a shopkeeper, and then set up his own door to become a maritime businessman, hey, I can't imagine it...... He made it clear to me that his current money could be bought back by ten Zhang's family, but he insisted on opening a small bookstore, just to use the money from the sale of books to buy back the family business back then, so that he felt that his conscience was stable. This printed book,He doesn't care about the cost and profit.,As long as it's sold well.。 ”

As long as the sales, which is not easy, write the oral text, to ensure the best-selling, if you mix a little royal secrets, write the secret history of the queen mother, the history of the concubine's palace, the prince emperor Longyang or something, even if the court is blocked, Daxing literary prison, there will be people from neighboring countries will properly collect, waiting for the people of future generations to discover.

Jia Cong stirred the bean curd, which had been stirred into slag, and couldn't help but remind him of McDonald's McWhirlwind, an indescribable sense of abstraction.

It's great to have money, he also has money, although the daily necessities are not as fast as the sea trade, but it is better to flow in the long stream?

He has already passed the stage of writing for money, writing books only for interest, sales or something, it's all floating clouds, meows.

Jia Cong complained wildly, he wasn't worried that his book sales were not good, it was that he was simply not interested, it must be so, meow.

He said that the girl who passed it on was like a childhood plum when he was a child...... For this, be sure to come out ...... Books, even if they don't sell well, are also worth ......"

Listening to Ni Er's words, Jia Cong knocked the edge of the bowl with a spoon, he lowered his head, smiled extremely proudly, and had a vision, this chapter building really has a future, this level of appreciation is not ordinary.

"If you don't have enough money, you can add ......"

Silver is just a trivial matter, and he writes books for not silver.

It was night, the lights were blooming, the moonlight was clear, the breeze was coming, and the grass and trees were bleak. Jia Cong spread out the paper, carried the pen he bought from the foreign store, and wrote on the paper.

[I am a young gentleman, I love prosperity, good house, good beauty, good children, good fresh clothes, good food, good horses, good lanterns, good pear orchards, good advocacy, good antiques, good flowers and birds, ......].
