Chapter 126: Lai Da
As I said before, Jia Rong is handsome, quite feminine, after closing the door and keeping filial piety, he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only reads sage books, and the number of times he goes out of his small study can be counted on one hand, and the degree of hard work is even worse than before Qiu Qi, he is not better than Jia Qiang, and his physical fitness is a little better than Jia Baoyu, before coming to Zhuangzi, Jia Rong's fair face was a little haggard, and she looked more pitiful than a woman.
Look, the current Jia Rong, usually meticulous hair is a little messy, the fair and haggard face seems to be a lot darker, and rough, he has always been neat and luxurious, and now what he is wearing, it seems to be ordinary cotton clothes, it looks clean, and the corners are a little rolled up and black. Jia Rong saw Jia Lu coming over to look at herself, and smiled brightly, revealing her white teeth.
Jia Lu covered her face, oh, I definitely don't admit that this is my family's white and tender Brother Rong, where did this come from!
I never thought that Jia Rong still had a hobby of farming, but fortunately, these days are warm days, and the temperature has risen a lot, Jia Rong is quite measured, and she also knows that she is the person who wants to take the imperial examination, and the opponent is well protected, and there is no chilblains or anything like that, otherwise, not only Jia Rong herself, but I am afraid that even Jia Lu and the slaves who came with him and the people in the Zhuangzi will be eaten.
Jia Lu saw that he was working hard in the farmland, although he was a little thinner, but he was not as thoughtful as when he first came, and his body was much stronger, so he said to Mama Li,
"Mama, looking at Brother Rong like this, don't we think we can go back?"
Mama Li naturally saw it, and said with a smile, "No, since Uncle Rong has adjusted, he has to go back, this scientific expedition can't be delayed." ”
As he spoke, Jia Lu waved her hand at Jia Rong, walked back with Mama Li, packed up her things and went home.
It just so happened that at this time, the head of Lai Zhuang led a slightly familiar person to Zhuangzi, Jia Lu's eyes were sharp, and he looked at this person who seemed to be Lai Dalai in the Rongguo Mansion next door, and pointed over there and said,
"Is that Laida?"
Mama Li is a little older, so she can't really see it, but she looks like her.
This Lai Da is a slave of Rongguo Mansion, when he was in Xifu, it was called a pampered and excellent, not a decent master could not get into his eyes, although this Zhuangzi is not remote, in the end, he went out of Beijing, and it takes half an hour to make a carriage, how could he come here?
Jia Lu wanted to hear it, and quietly followed them.
Mama Li hurriedly beckoned the good hand who came with her, carefully guarded, this gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, not afraid of 10,000 just in case, a total of more than a dozen men, all of them are good hands trained by veterans, this time the people who came out, one is the only girl in the house, and the other is the young master who is about to take the scientific examination, but he has to protect him.
Walked to a side room near the back door in the village. Jia Lu hadn't been here yet, so he asked,
"Where is this?
Although Mama Li has not experienced it, she has more experience and looks, the wing room here is not as good as the house where the master of the Jia family lives, but it is much cleaner and brighter than others, close to the back door, and there is a lot of open space in front of the door, which is convenient for the people in the entire Zhuangzi to ask, dry the grain and count the materials before going out.
"If the old slave is not mistaken, this should be the housekeeper's house......"
Jia Lu cautiously walked into the yard, the cat was under the window, poked the window paper with his fingers, and leaned in to peek!
And look at the house Lai Da even if he is not in his own territory, he is still condescending,
"What's the matter, isn't it just a few thousand taels more? How can it attract the master of the Ning Mansion!"
Jia Lu was surprised, did the master of the Ning Mansion say that he and Jia Rong were right? It's just that their own family knows about their own affairs, and they didn't come here for a few thousand taels of silver, so what happened to that silver?
Could it be that her father asked her and Brother Rong to come over for something else? Looking at Mama Li, Mama Li also shook her head blankly, even if she had orders before going out, she also ordered Jia Rong's affairs, and never mentioned silver.
Lai Zhuangtou listened to his words, and rolled his eyes inside, what is it called a few thousand taels, if it weren't for the bad growth in the past two years, he exaggerated the facts, and the books were clean, and there were not these thousands of taels of silver!
Even if he thought so, he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, his father suddenly offended Jia Jing for some reason, and now he has no real power, and the Lai family's base camp is not in Ningfu, and he and others have to rely on them if they want to recover again.
So to please laugh,
"Where can I attract the attention of the master, our Zhuangzi is already liked by the master, not to mention coming every year, there will always be one or two times in two or three years, it's just a coincidence.
Besides, where is the serious family member, but a yellow-haired girl, a nerd who only knows how to read, where do you need to pay attention, I heard that Uncle Rong is about to take the imperial examination, let him come out and relax a little bit
......”
Lai Da angrily reprimanded,
"What's the matter! The account book and the goods have just been sent up for so few days, and there is a master who comes down, and other Zhuangzi does not pick, but also picks your Zhuangzi, how can there be such a coincidence, even if it is a coincidence, you can't treat him as a coincidence!
Besides, I have never heard of the need to be relaxed before the imperial examination, and our Uncle Zhu was so smart that day that day, and he studied hard until late at night every day, let alone which Uncle Xiao Rong, did you steal it by cutting off more silver!"
Jia Lu listened to him talk like this, and clearly felt that Brother Rong was not as good as Brother Zhu, so she couldn't help but pout, so Brother Zhu went early!
Lai Zhuangtou listened to the secret scolding inside, what is he, if it weren't for the confusion of the master of the Rong Mansion, Jia's mother is victorious, and her grandmother is her confidant, how can he be so powerful, let you follow Master Jing to try, see if you succeed!
I thought of my cousin who didn't learn and didn't know how to serve the slaves and maids around him, and heard that my grandmother was planning to beg the house to donate an official to do it, and she was also a descendant of the Lai family, a slave and a servant, and she was scolded by the uncle who was also a slave.
Steward Lai endured and endured, and finally suppressed his anger,
"Where didn't my nephew pay attention, this little one soaks in the hot springs all day long, and this big one somehow becomes obsessed with mud legs, and goes to the fields every day to farm, completely ignoring decency!"
Lai Da waved his hand and stopped listening, he was already conceited, he thought that the two brothers Jia Yu and Jia Zheng were still like this, so naturally he would not put the two junior masters in his eyes, and this time he came only at the request of his mother, to say that the older his mother is, the more timid and suspicious she is.
Steward Lai is good at observing words and feelings, and when he sees him waving his hand like this, he knows that the matter is over.
"I don't know why my grandmother suddenly asked for so much silver?"
Lai Dada's face flashed with joy and pointed his hand up.
"The eldest lady of our family in the palace is very favored, and she doesn't have an heir at this age, you say that if it's, hehe, and have a son, then ......"
