Chapter 149: Celebration Banquet (3)
Hurry up, hurry up, haven't you heard, today is the celebration banquet of Bao Erye's ascension, he wants to reward all those who have made contributions in the construction of the garden, I heard that the silver of the white flowers has been placed in several baskets, and the silver money is innumerable, this is a big reward! ”
"Really, that's really good, it seems that our good days are coming, and if Second Master Bao becomes a family in the future, our life will definitely be better."
"It stands to reason that when the garden was built, the lord came back, and how much silver did he give?
Bao Er Ye is worthy of being a person who does great things, and his bearing is completely different! ”
The news that Jia Baoyu wanted to "reward the ministers" spread quickly, unless he was on duty and couldn't leave, and the others, including those who took turns to rest, went towards Rongxi Hall.
Even a lot of people from Ning Guofu came over to join in the fun.
They thought that if Bao Er Ye was happy, it would be better if they even rewarded them.
On the stage in the front hall, there were already two tables and a Taishi chair, and Jia Baoyu was sitting in the center, looking down at the roster in his hand.
Behind him, the little actors were hiding in the background, and the bold ones dared to stick out their little heads and peek ahead.
seems to be curious about what this good-looking second master is going to do.
"What is the second brother doing? Is it really going to be rewarded with so much silver? ”
In the hall in front, Tanchun took a closer look, his eyes swept under the basket of silver coins under the stage, and turned his head to ask Yingchun.
It's just that how does Yingchun know, so he has to shake his head.
Mrs. Wang fidgeted, her eyes kept glancing at Jia's mother.
Jia Mu couldn't sit still.
Although she has not been at home for a long time, she also knows that rewarding people is not such a reward.
"Baoyu, what exactly are you going to do? Don't you don't know how to be at home, all the silver has been rewarded, let's all drink the northwest wind when we go back? ”
Jia Mu was originally a calm person, but she couldn't help but speak.
Jia Baoyu raised his head, glanced at the hall, and saw the expressions of everyone on both sides.
Most of them are surprised and puzzled, and there are also people who watch the excitement, and even those who laugh at it.
Jia Baoyu didn't care, and said loudly: "Ancestor, rest assured, my grandson won't let your old man drink the northwest wind." You promised not to steal the show with me before? ”
Jia Mu was immediately displeased, and simply didn't bother to pay attention to him.
So many people are watching horizontally and vertically, and see what kind of flowers you can make with a little monkey.
Jia Zheng has a better face than Jia Mu, since he said that Jia Baoyu will be in charge, even if Jia Baoyu now takes out his family wealth and sees that he wants to give it to him, although his face is gloomy, he is stunned and does not say a word.
He told himself vigorously in his heart, this kid is not stupid, Lao Tzu will be his sooner or later, there is no need to cheat Lao Tzu now!
Seeing that the parents connived at Jia Baoyu, Wang Xifeng also let go of his caution and began to smile from afar: "Brother Bao is really generous, I don't know if there is a reward for us people?" ”
"Nope."
The faint reply made Wang Xifeng's bright smile freeze on his face, and he opened his blank phoenix eyes and looked left and right.
Aunt Xue shook her head amusedly.
She is not a member of the Jia family, but now she is easy to speak.
"Baoyu, you said you were going to sing for us to see, when will it start, it's almost dark."
Jia Baoyu looked at the sky, the sky in September and October, it was really dark.
Looking down, all the slaves of the Jia family were almost all gathered, and the two heavyweights Lai Da and Wu Xindeng had also arrived, so Jia Baoyu replied: "Auntie is optimistic, this will begin." ”
After speaking, he bowed his head to the people below: "Stewards and stewards, come to the left." ”
When Lin Zhixiao heard this, he turned his head to the left and stood sideways.
For the rest, Lai Da and the others looked left and right, and they didn't dare not give face.
So, Lai Da, Shan Da Niang, Wu Xindeng, the three housekeepers, plus more than 20 stewards, went to the left to stand at the left.
The others were ordinary minions, and there were also some people from Ning Guofu who came to watch the play.
Lai's mother has been sick recently, and he originally took a day off, but Jia Baoyu sent someone to invite him alive and dead, and he had doubts in his heart.
In addition, his family really did not lack reward money, so he intended to sell himself in front of Jia Zheng and others.
"Second Master Bao really doesn't have to be like this, the minions help the master do things, that's right, besides, when the master came back half a month ago, he had already rewarded him once, so he really didn't need to be rewarded like this, wasting the master's money and food."
Listening to what people said, they are so brave and loyal, no wonder they can win the trust of Jia Zheng and others.
With a wave of his hand, Jia Baoyu said: "The master's reward is the master's reward, I just happened to go into the garden today to take a look, it's really perfect." In the days when my lord and second brother Lian were not here, I relied on your careful management to build the garden so perfectly.
It happened that I was lucky to get an official of the imperial court, so I wanted to take the opportunity to let everyone celebrate together, and by the way, I also gave my ancestors a trick.
Mr. Lai, you have to cooperate with me. ”
"Uh, the minions obey."
Nodding, Jia Baoyu glanced down at the roster in his hand, and said with a smile: "I have already inquired with Lin Zhixiao before, and I got a list, unfortunately, Mr. Lai happened to be in the first place, which is really hard work, which is really gratifying!"
Such a great achievement, I have to be rewarded. ”
"It's just a slave's duty, and I don't dare to be rewarded." Lai Da sensed that something was wrong.
He and Lin Zhixiao can be said to be the first and second housekeepers of Rongguo Mansion, although they have no grudges, but they really don't have much friendship.
Will he give himself credit?
Ignoring Lai Da's humility, Jia Baoyu said to more than 20 housekeepers and stewards: "Building the garden, not only he has great merit, everyone has merit!" I counted all the silver vaults of Rongguo Mansion before, and I was very happy, I built such a large garden, and I actually left 20,000 taels of silver for the master's family! ”
belch
As soon as these words came out, some people began to change their faces.
Jia Zheng in the hall felt that his face couldn't hold it.
Little evil animal, how can you casually reveal such a secret matter of your family's background?
He glanced at Jia Yu and Jia Zhen and felt ashamed.
On the other side, Jia Mu frowned and said to Mrs. Wang: "The family has been strapped to this extent?" ”
Mrs. Wang was also a little ashamed: "In order to build a provincial garden for Yuanchun, it really costs a lot. ”
Jia Mu was speechless.
Although the wealth of the Jia family is by no means a simple silver stockpile, only then can it be taken out at any time.
20,000 taels, what is enough?
In the coming year, the province will not be enough!
Do you want to borrow it from relatives again?
Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang silently.
You can afford to lose that man, but I can't afford to lose him.
Mrs. Wang was uneasy when she was watched, but she didn't dare to argue.
I only heard Jia Baoyu continue: "I thought, 20,000 silver, it's useless to keep it, it's not enough to save relatives in the coming year, and you can't buy a few Zhuangzi."
Simply, let's have fun and reward everyone in one go. ”
Jia Baoyu seems to be like a gentleman who doesn't know anything about the world, talking rhetorically.
Lai Da couldn't stand still, and came out and said: "Second Master Bao"
Jia Baoyu interrupted lightly: "Manager Lai, please cooperate with me in singing!" ”
Lai Da's face suddenly turned red, neither advancing nor retreating, after thinking about it, he still retreated.
"Now that you're out, don't go back."
Lai Da's footsteps stopped again, he frowned, and looked at Jia Baoyu.
Could it be that you are always trying to tease the old slave today?
How could Jia Baoyu care about his thoughts, after the foreshadowing was done, it was time to sing the main play.
"Mr. Lai, listen to the reward."
"Second Master Bao, the slave really doesn't want any reward, since there is so little silver in the house, Second Master Bao should save some for the master, don't mess around"
Lai Da really felt that Jia Baoyu must be messing around.
Obviously, the family is almost gone, and you still want to be rewarded?
He glanced back at Jia Zheng and wanted to ask Jia Zheng to come out quickly to stop Jia Baoyu's ruined behavior.
Strangely, Jia Zheng's face was clearly ugly, but he still sat still.
He looked at Jia Mu's side without giving up.
It's a pity that Jia Mu is even more expressionless.
"Chief Lai, the master's family rewards silver, shouldn't the slave kneel down to receive the reward?"
Jia Baoyu was sitting in a precarious position, leaning forward, and said lightly.
Lai's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
It's true that he is a slave, and he also calls himself a slave, but when the word slave is called by the master's family, it is not a good word.
Even Jia Zheng would never talk to him like this. Because his Lai family is the most decent servant of the Jia family, his mother is one of the most useful maids by Jia's mother's side, and the friendship is deep.
Many times, he doesn't even feel like a minion. Because, most of those so-called masters are not as decent as him!
He stood still.
Although he often kneels, this kneeling recently obviously has a different meaning.
He is not stupid, he knows that Jia Baoyu is going to find his fault today.
He was waiting for Jia Mu and others to speak. He really couldn't believe why Jia Baoyu suddenly wanted to trouble him.
Unfortunately, he was doomed to disappointment.
Because Jia Baoyu's foreshadowing work has been done very well, Jia Baoyu's current posture, any fool knows that what he has to do will not be simple.
Although the Lai family has face, it is not enough to let Jia's mother step on her baby grandson's face to maintain it.
They all want to see what kind of medicine is sold in Jia Baoyu's gourd.
Lai Da didn't move, and Jia Baoyu didn't urge.
The two hundred or so people in the hospital were silent.
After waiting for a long time, Lai Sheng, who didn't wait for the rescue, was like ashes.
He knew that if there was no response, it would not be rescue that was waiting for him.
It is a great sin to despise the master and put it on the surface. What's more, the other party is still Jia Baoyu, the pride of the Jia family and the upstart of the court.
"The minion takes orders."
Lai Da slowly knelt down.
Jia Baoyu smiled faintly and glanced at everyone below. As if nothing had happened, he continued:
"Lai Dadu has meritorious service in building the garden, and the Jia family treats his subordinates generously, so I naturally can't treat them lightly.
I thought about how it took about a year to build the garden.
I thought again, the imperial court's Zhengyi Cabinet minister's annual silver is about 500 taels, so let's do it, according to the regulations of the imperial court's ministers, the general manager will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver, are you not satisfied? ”
Most people don't dare to reply, as long as they are a little smart, they know that this is a rebuke.
A minion, analogous to a minister? Big joke!
"Bao Er Ye is really generous, Mr. Lai is powerful, and he is as powerful as a first-class cabinet minister"
A dull, rough, and completely silly female voice suddenly sounded.
Jia Baoyu looked back and saw a big fat girl leaning on the pillar in the corridor on the side, shouting and clapping, very excited.
Such a stupid person, but Jia Baoyu still knows him.
The silly eldest sister in Jia's mother's house
Although she has a natural tolerance for the fool Jia Baoyu, she is still very unhappy with her unprovoked destruction of the atmosphere she has created.
Fortunately, Lin Zhixiao's family appeared at the right time and pulled her away.
Skipping such a small episode, Jia Baoyu said: "Since no one is unconvinced, then so be it." Cigarettes, five hundred taels of silver. ”
I had already taken two people to stand in front of the silver frame to smoke cigarettes, and Lisuo put about five hundred silver into the cloth pocket, and brought it to Jia Baoyu heavily.
(Five hundred taels of silver should not be fifty catties, the author thinks, welcome erudite people to the author to popularize science)
Jia Baoyu mentioned it, and it was indeed very heavy.
didn't ask Lai Da to come up and take it, but only grabbed the mouth of the bag, shook it hard, and threw it under the stage.
"Bang"
The silver struck the ground with a loud sound.
