Although Dao Kui put down his face that day and didn't give Jia Jiu a good look, Dao Kui was still very interested in Jia Jiu's big plan.

He pondered for more than half a month, scrutinized all the details one by one, and then carefully wrote a thick stack, at least hundreds of pages of detailed instructions, packed them in a special wooden box, sandwiched them in the case for Jia Jiu, and asked Zhiliu to personally deliver them to Jia Jiu.

Looking at the beautiful hairpin in his hand, Jia Jiu couldn't help but slap himself hard, which frightened the girls and mothers-in-law around him to jump up: "Girl! ”

Zhiliu was also startled and said, "Uncle Shi? ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly shook his head and said: "Nothing to do, I thought that Daokui's character should be more fond of flowing books, but I didn't expect that Daokui's wife Wei hairpin Xiaokai wrote so exquisitely, and I thought I was dazzled." ”

Zhiliu said: "I see. Uncle Shi has not been in the house for a long time, so he will naturally know these things in the future. The person who is good at writing is the Daozun, and the Dao Kui and the national teacher are better at regular script, among which the hairpin flower of the Dao Kui is particularly outstanding. ”

Jia Jiu said: "In this way, I will know." Thank you Uncle on my behalf. ”

Zhiliu said: "Where, in this way, if the uncle has no other explanation, the disciple will leave." ”

Sending Zhiliu away, Qingwen just wanted to come over and take over the box in Jia Jiu's hand, but was avoided by Jia Jiu: "No need, I'll do this myself." ”

In the end, it was written by Daokui's own handwriting. In fact, two people who work together in the same company in another time and space, even if they are superiors and subordinates. The boss took away the creativity of his subordinates, and there were not a few who took it to ask the leader for credit. When Jia Jiu told his plan, he was mentally prepared. Give this credit to others and be a safe and secure boudoir lady.

But he forgot that the ancients, who paid attention to moral cultivation, did not bother to do so many times. Just like Dao Kui, after listening to his plan, he checked and filled in the gaps and filled in all the things he didn't expect, and Dao Kui handed over all the things he had sorted out, but he didn't take credit for himself.

If he were a man, it might not be surprising that Daokui would do so. But after all, I'm just a girl. In this world, the actual status and freedom of women are much lower than in other worlds, many times. Even if it is an official lady, it is difficult to save her life. However, Dao Kui not only did not use this credit to seek more benefits for the Daomen, but also checked and supplemented the omissions for himself.

With an indescribable mood, Jia Jiu opened the manuscript in his hand. Sit under the window and flip through the pages. The more I read, the more I admired Daokui's mind.

Prior to this, Jia Jiu mainly used the Daomen, and the idea of taking what he needed was mostly to take what he needed. Just like the two plans in a row, he had already calculated the gains and losses in advance. As for the second plan told Daokui, Jia Jiu was already mentally prepared for the dominance of the Daomen family.

But in this manuscript of Daokui, there is almost nothing about Daomen. It's like cement. The formula should be in the hands of Daomen, Jia Jiu thought that he would have to put a lot of effort into getting Daomen to come up with this formula. Not to mention. There are many defects in the production method of soil cement, and the damage to craftsmen is great. About that. Jia Jiu never found a chance to tell the people in the Daomen.

However, Daokui actually noted in it the disadvantages and importance of soil cement, and he also specifically mentioned yì in the codex, using prisoners from other countries to do this, and sent special officials to supervise the quality of cement. In this way, the quality of the cement can be ensured, and the captives can also exert their residual heat, and more importantly, even after the captives are ransomed, their bodies are broken, which weakens the enemy's power in disguise.

As for the location and location suitable for the construction of the fortress, after considering the strength of both the enemy and the enemy, the strategic and commercial significance of the fortress, as well as the transportation conditions, geographical location, etc., Daokui determined the location and distance between the first five fortresses to be built, so as to ensure that the fortress could be built in the shortest possible time.

Regarding the structure and scale of the fortress, Daokui also annotated several pictures.

It can be said that with this codex, anyone can carry this project forward. What is commendable is that in this plan, there is no deliberate bias towards the Daomen, and even, if you are not careful, you can't even see the shadow of the Daomen.

There is nothing more in line with Jia Jiu's mind than this codex, that is, Jia Jiu's original plan, compared with the one sent by Daokui, also seems very rough.

Seeing the subtleties, even Jia Jiu had to admire Dao Kui's meticulousness and broad-mindedness.

Just when he was having fun, he suddenly felt that someone was pushing him, Jia Jiu raised his head slightly unhappily, but saw Xiaohong looking at him worriedly. Jia Jiu was about to speak, but heard Xiaohong say, "Girl, Second Master Bao and Miss Yun are here." ”

Jia Jiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately put the codex back in the box, turned around and put it in the closet, and locked it, but saw that Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun had already come in hand in hand.

As soon as Shi Xiangyun entered the house, he said, "Second sister, what are you doing?" Could it be that the second sister didn't want to take it out, so she hid it in the cabinet? The second sister is so stingy. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Where." This thing was handed over to me by Fang Zhiliu himself, and it turned out to be Daokui's own handwriting. This kind of thing often involves learning and inheritance. I don't dare let anyone else touch it without permission. ”

Jia Baoyu said: "When the second sister said this, it aroused my curiosity. Can't you just look at it? ”

Xue Baochai, who came in behind, said: "Brother Bao, the second sister has already said this, so it can be seen that this thing is very important." If we don't have permission from above, don't talk about us, even if there are few people in this room who can touch the box containing this thing. Let's not embarrass the second sister. ”

Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "Hearing Sister Bao say this, it aroused my interest more and more. Second sister, what good things do you have? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Let's go, I know that I can't escape your claws." That's it, today the Daomen sent a few tea cakes of dragon and phoenix group tea. It's a pity that I don't understand this at all. Sister Yun if you like it. Might as well take some. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "When the second sister said this, it seemed that I was stingy. I didn't come here for this tea. Speaking of which, second sister. I heard that the people in the door looked very tender, just like that Zhiliu, I heard that he was not a few years younger than the second master, but he looked less than thirty years old, that is, the big brother Zhu who had just passed, he didn't look so tender when he looked a year ago, and he didn't have such a good spirit. The head of Taoism. Cultivation is more profound for nature. Could it be that this Dao Kui is really not a few years older than Lian's second brother? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Yes." If it weren't for the fact that my brother hadn't experienced anything and had a immature look on his face, he would say that the two of them were generally old. It's just that. After the wind and snow at the border pass, I am afraid that my brother will look older than Daokui when he returns home. ”

Shi Xiangyun leaned over mysteriously and said, "Could it be that the second sister has taken a fancy to someone else?" ”

Although it is a very gossip topic, it is on the face of the eccentric Shi Xiangyun. It's not disgusting. On the contrary, there is a feeling of crying and laughing.

After all, Shi Xiangyun was still young at this time. And judging from his face, he really doesn't understand the meaning of the word "look", but he just heard people say this, and he said it.

Jia Jiu smiled and said, "What woman doesn't love beauty?" Don't talk about others, let's just say that when the eldest sister is at home, she eats pearl powder every day to maintain her beauty. We didn't think it was in the younger grades, but when we reached the age of the big sister. I'm afraid I'm looking for a way to nourish my face everywhere. If you want me to say, it's also a shame that the big sister is not at home. If the eldest sister is at home and hears about the youth of the people in the Daomen, I am afraid that there will be a lot of accidents. ”

Xue Baochai nodded and said: "Women are pleasing to themselves, don't say anything else, just say that in our shop, the rouge gouache and jewelry from the south are always in short supply." If it weren't for women's love of beauty, where would the rouge gouache in this world be so good business? Don't talk about the big sister, it's me, and I'm also moved when I hear this. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Sister Bao also wants to take care of her beauty?" ”

These words were heard in the ears of Xue Baochai and a few grandmothers on the side, but they were extremely uncomfortable. What is the difference between this and scolding Xue Baochai for declining before he gets old, or scolding Xue Baochai for being a fox who only knows how to dress up bewitchingly.

Even though he knew that Shi Xiangyun was not intentional, Xue Baochai was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. It's just that he held back and didn't argue with Shi Xiangyun, but said: "Women's appearance, women's merits, and women's virtues are extremely important." Not to mention anything else, if a girl's family doesn't know how to dress up well, and she is rough every day, she is afraid that she will be disgusted and sloppy. Sister Yun is young, and she doesn't have to go out to socialize, and her family is relaxed, so she naturally doesn't know this. I, my second sister and the two nieces and nephews of the Huansha Pavilion have reached the age to pay attention to these. Speaking of which, what kind of fat powder does the second sister use now? ”

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "In the old years, our sisters also bought this fat and head oil, but most of the things sent from outside were not good things, even if they were called by the girls at home, they still had to buy them with cash." So I went back to my father and made the purchase. I'm young, so I don't need this rouge gouache, and my face is also flushed, so I don't need this. ”

Regarding Jia Jiu's purchase of rouge gouache, Xue Baochai also heard a little. Of course, the girls and mothers-in-law of the Jia family don't need to buy rouge gouache but pay extra money to buy it, and he also knows about it. Because there are special merchants on the back street waiting at the back door with a burden. Even his brother has seen him go in and out several times. Xue Baochai originally thought that Jia Jiu had also called someone to buy it on the back street, but he didn't expect that there was no such thing at all.

Xue Baochai was immediately embarrassed, two blush fluttered on his snow-white face, and it became more and more obvious that his skin was white and his eyes were sparkling like water, which made Jia Baoyu stunned for a while.

At this time, Shi Xiangyun was attracted by a wonderful fragrance. He followed the smell and opened a box and said, "What does this smell like, it smells so good?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "It's probably the incense that Daokui gave me." I always have to burn incense when I practice the piano, and the ones I buy at home are not as good as those given by Daokui. It's just that I practice for a long time every day, so I naturally use more of it. I didn't get much last time. ”

Xue Baochai said: "I also heard that the second sister spends a lot of time practicing the piano every day. Is Cong'er still taking care of her second sister now? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Now Cong'er's teeth have almost grown, and she rarely cries, but she likes to be coquettish and has someone to accompany her." When I first started learning the piano. He's always been distracted, but now he's better. If I play the piano, he sits obediently on the side. But as long as I've been practicing for an hour. He would come and ask me to play with him for a while. Nothing else is fine. During the day, when I had something to do, I sent him to the Huansha Pavilion, and now he doesn't reject Qian'er and Qing'er, but he must bring him back at night, otherwise, he will be angry for several days. ”

Xue Baochai said: "It's a tempered one." Second sister. You don't have to spoil him too much. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Cong'er is much better than Baoyu." I remember that when Baoyu was so old, he had to be hugged by a beautiful girl, otherwise his cry would be enough to tear over the roof. Don't talk about others at home. Even the old lady can't live in peace, compared to Baoyu, Cong'er is already very well-behaved. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "It turns out that the second brother had such a bad temper when he was young. ”

Xue Baochai said: "Maybe it's because this anger was exhausted when I was a child, so I have my current good temper." ”

All three laughed.

Jia Baoyu also blushed. Said: "Second sister." Spare me. ”

has an older sister who knows her dark history, and often takes out her childhood to expose it, which is really not a very decent thing for Jia Baoyu. But he couldn't get angry with Jia Jiu's sister, so he had to fiddle with the things on the table boredly.

He has always liked sweet things, no, he was attracted by the things that Shi Xiangyun held in his hand: "Sister Yun, stay, what is in your hand?" ”

Jia Baoyu jumped over in three steps and two steps. But Shi Xiangyun was taken aback.

I saw Jia Baoyu sniffing in Shi Xiangyun's hand, still not satisfied. took the small box in Shi Xiangyun's hand, opened it and saw that it was a small box of incense powder.

Xue Baochai's sharp eyes immediately noticed the mark on the small box, and said, "Huh? Isn't this the incense powder of Qingyi Garden? ”

Jia Baoyu said: "Sister Bao knows? ”

Xue Baochai said: "This Qingyi Garden's incense powder is the most famous incense powder in the Beijing Division. The taste is elegant and long, and it is very popular. However, his weight is the same as his price, which is unaffordable for ordinary people. When the eldest sister entered the palace, our family thought about sending a piece of Qingyi Garden's incense powder, who thought of sending people every day, but they didn't buy it every day. It is said that there are not many people in the palace who have this. What's even more impatient is that the owner of Qingyi Garden has a very strange temper, if the person who wants to buy is what he likes, there are things to give away for free, if he comes to look down on him, I'm afraid that he can't ask for a share. Therefore, the incense powder of Qingyi Garden is expensive, but people all over the world are eager to rush to it. The same name is the osmanthus head oil of Lan Kwai Yuan and the rouge of Qiluo Zhai, which are just as rare. ”

It's very simple, these three rouge gouaches probably use hunger marketing, so they have made this hard-to-find situation. Jia Jiu guessed irresponsibly that the rouge gouache of these three families might have been made by people in the Daomen. Only when the senior management of Daomen expressed their love for these three shops would they arouse such a pursuit.

The herd mentality, scarcity is expensive, has always been a tried and tested means for businesses.

Hearing that this incense powder is so rare, Jia Baoyu is also interested. He immediately dropped the box of incense powder in his hand and went to look through something else. It was Shi Xiangyun, who couldn't help but feel a little hot when he looked at these, and said, "Second sister, are these the family's purchases?" The eldest lord is really good to the second sister. ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "Let Sister Yun laugh." Where is this purchased by the family, it was sent by the Daomen, and it is said to be an example. I thought it was just something ordinary, but where did I think it could be such a valuable thing? It's not rouge gouache, it's just taking gold and putting it on your face. ”

Shi Xiangyun stuck out his tongue and said, "Second sister, you are laughing again." Buddha makeup is not popular anymore. But I can afford this, I'm afraid it's only the second sister. ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "Who knows." There is no shortage of monks in the Daomen, but there are really not many female monks. I guess the person in charge didn't know what to give me, so I gave a copy of everything that girls might use. But it's not just this rouge water, you look there, there are ready-made pills, and clothes and everything, I don't know what to say. ”

Xue Baochai also leaned over, looked at the gift list in Shi Xiangyun's hand, and said, "No, it's almost the Four Seasons Ceremony." ”

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he immediately asked, "Sister Bao, what is the Four Seasons Ceremony?" ”

Xue Baochai replied: "This is the old custom in the past. It is said that after the daughter of the family gets married, the family will still give generous gifts all year round. First, I was worried that my daughter's food at her mother-in-law's house was unsatisfactory, and second, it meant to support my daughter. Of course, some families who have made a marriage will also give their future daughters-in-law gifts for the four seasons before their children officially get married. ”

As soon as Jia Baoyu heard of words such as marriage and marriage. It was immediately uncomfortable. He sighed and said: "Why do you want to marry a good innocent daughter's family?" When you get married, you lose your luster, and when you get older, you become more and more like a dead fish's eyes. ”

Jia Jiu immediately put down his face and said, "Baoyu, what did you say?" If the second wife didn't get married back then, where did you come from? Look up again. If it weren't for the old lady, we wouldn't know where we would be today. Heaven and earth, why is it wrong in your mouth? If you say these things again, there are some and some that you don't. I'm going to be annoyed. ”

Jia Yingchun in the original book is no matter how good he looks, but he doesn't have enough sense of zài, and no one takes him seriously. But Jia Jiu is not Jia Yingchun, although he may not be as good as Xue Baochai in appearance. But a white cover a hundred ugliness. In addition, his facial features are exquisite, but his appearance has not grown yet, but he is also a beautiful embryo. And he has always been the focus of the world's eyes, so that people can't ignore him at all, and his appearance has left a deep imprint in Jia Baoyu's heart.

Jia Baoyu shook again and again, and said, "Second sister, I was wrong, you spare me." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Let's go." You are the son of the second uncle, and you were raised by the old lady. Whether you are good or bad has nothing to do with me, and I am not qualified to teach you. If you say this in front of the elders in the future, I will at most just walk away. There is only one sentence, after the New Year, you don't want to come to my house, let alone go to the Huansha Pavilion, even in the back garden, don't come without the company of your elders. If such an argument of yours spreads, the old lady will not be willing to punish you, but I will follow the bad luck and suffer on your behalf. I'm a small person with light bones, and I can't climb you as a fairy, so please keep your distance from me, don't drag me down. ”

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he immediately lowered his head.

He knew that since Jia Jiu said this, it meant that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

Looking at Jia Baoyu's appearance, Shi Xiangyun was the first to stop, and said, "Second sister, you are so ruthless." Anyway, the second brother is also big with you. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Sister Yun, although I can't write two Jia Lai with one stroke, although I, like Baoyu, I will be carried to the old lady's house on the ground." But there are differences between men and women, and there are things that we don't care about if we don't care about it. What's more, what Baoyu just said is already violating filial piety. As a granddaughter, I don't question the old lady's upbringing of Baoyu, but as a daughter, I don't want my father to be dragged down by Baoyu's strange arguments. So Sister Yun, I don't care what you think, but for me, Baoyu is not as important as my father. If I hold it up and put it down gently this time, then next time, I may bring disaster to my father and brother because of my tolerance. On this point, I stand by my opinion. If you don't agree, the door is over there. ”

Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "Second sister, I really don't have a heart. Just forgive me for once. ”

It is also true to say that Jia Baoyu is not intentional, but Jia Jiu is unwilling to entangle with Jia Baoyu. Just like today, Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun came in without permission, but they had already annoyed him. This time he came in without waiting for a briefing, and next time did he break in while changing clothes? Next time, did he break in while he was still resting?

Nowadays, he uses meditation instead of rest, and sometimes he unconsciously enters a state of cultivation. If someone interrupts it like that, the consequences are even more severe.

Jia Jiu has long been determined to keep his distance from Jia Baoyu, and today is just a reason for him.

Shi Xiangyun originally wanted to be a middleman between Jia Jiu and Jia Baoyu, so that Jia Jiu and Jia Baoyu could reconcile, but where did he think that Jia Jiu would be so ruthless, and he was immediately unhappy.

He stamped his foot and rushed out first. Cui Wei hurriedly followed.

Jia Baoyu hesitated for a moment, and also left with the attacker.

It was Xue Baochai, and when Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu ran away with people one after another, they were also stunned at the time, and when they ran out of the yard, he said, "Second sister, are you intentional?" ”

Jia Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Sister Bao, you might as well guess the reason why I did this." ”

Xue Baochai said: "Don't guess, I know it." Men and women are not seated at the same age as 7 years old. A particular person has already sent people to the academy at Baoyu's age, where would he let him waste his time like this? Naturally, there is no need to deliberately emphasize any rules and regulations. But Baoyu is still messing around, and his sister is older than him. There are some things that my sister has to do. ”

Jia Jiu said: "My sister is a smart person, so I won't say more." It's just that why does my sister still mess around with him and Yun Yatou all day long? ”

Xue Baochai blushed unconsciously when he heard this, and said, "I knew that something was wrong with this. It's just that what is the identity of our family, and where is my turn to pay attention to this? Speaking of which, last time I was also thanks to my sister so that I was able to go out to see the world. But that's just the way it is in my family. To put it mildly, if I don't think about my family more, if I don't have relatives to take care of me, I'm afraid that our family doesn't know where it is now. ”

Hearing Xue Baochai say this, Jia Jiu was also stunned.

What kind of person Xue Baochai is, Jia Jiu knows very well. In his eyes, Xue Baochai is a person who stands tall on the shelf, where will he do anything to complain, come to this kind of thing, and occasionally do it in private. But there are a lot of girls and mothers-in-law in his house, Xue Baochai said this, aren't you afraid of spreading it everywhere?

What Jia Jiu never expected was that Xue Baochai's remarks were originally prepared for his character.

Xue Baochai also knew very well that with the current background of their Xue family, they couldn't hide it from the shrewd servants of the Jia family. So a lot of times, he can hold it when he can.

But in front of Jia Jiu, he couldn't hold it. Since getting along these days, Xue Baochai has been very clear that this young lady of the General's Mansion is a person with a clear mind, and she will not be confused by external things. Similarly, the idea of their Xue family can't be hidden from this girl. It may be possible to succeed in following someone else's fight, but performing like this in front of this girl will only backfire.

Moreover, Xue Baochai saw very clearly that Jia Jiu was a very soft-hearted person. As long as it doesn't violate the principle and can give convenience, he doesn't mind giving it conveniently.

So for Jia Jiu, Xue Baochai took a lot of effort. climb relationships, pull friendships, and then now, pretend to be pitiful and complain. Xue Baochai didn't know how to use this method, he knew very well that the stronger a person is, the more he can arouse the sympathy of others when he is weak.

He heard that the Jiashan Eldest Princess's Mansion was going to hold a hairpin party again, and the hairpin party on the Jiashan Eldest Princess's Mansion was not comparable to the hairpin meeting on the Duanrong Eldest Princess's Mansion. After all, the eldest princess of Duanrong is a princess of Heqin, and a considerable number of the people in his mansion are from Fanbang, so many people of noble status are unwilling to attend. But the eldest princess of Jiashan is different. He is the most beloved sister of Banzai today.

For the sake of his future, Xue Baochai plans to gamble. (To be continued......)
