Chapter 388: Speech?
"I don't know how to smile, but I am fortunate to invite the first son to take a boat."
In the hall, with Wei Xiaoxiao's soft voice, everyone's eyes invariably fell to the southeast of the second floor again. Then he sighed in his heart, sure enough, since ancient times, beautiful women love talents, and even the first Oiran is not included.
Although I can figure it out, I still can't help but feel jealous and sour in my heart.
On the second floor, Jia Baoyu and Du Shirong were stunned, and Chen Yejun immediately said, "Brother Jia, didn't you say that you didn't send flowers to Miss Xiaoxiao?" β
Jia Baoyu shrugged, he really didn't send it.
He brought a lot of silver, but it was just to prevent accidents, so that there was a situation where "a penny is difficult for a hero".
As for spending a lot of money for a bouquet, Jia Baoyu doesn't like it. Because he learned about the market, when he was free, a thousand taels of silver was enough for a person to visit the Qinglou a hundred times.
Even if you order an Oiran to come out to help the fun, you can also come about ten times. At this time, it is not good to take the silver to float, how many more times will you enjoy it in the future? Based on this, he really didn't pull out a dime today, and even the wine money was recorded on Du Shirong's head, so he is considered a prostitute for nothing......
Although Jia Baoyu and the others are an independent place, because of Wei Xiaoxiao, everyone's eyes are here. Chen Yejun didn't lower his voice when he spoke, so people next to him and downstairs heard it.
It's going to fry.
Originally, as long as Jia Baoyu met the requirements, it didn't matter whether Wei Xiaoxiao liked Jia Baoyu's appearance, his talent or his identity. After all, who to invite on the ship of the first Oiran is the final word for Wei Xiaoxiao.
But Jia Baoyu didn't reward Wei Xiaoxiao, what is this? What do they think about those who spend a lot of money for Wei Xiaoxiao?
"I'm not convinced!"
Sure enough, someone jumped out immediately, but this person was much more polite than Huang Tingshu, he first saluted in the direction of Jia Baoyu, and then said solemnly: "The name of Jing Yuanbo, Qian has always admired it, and if Jing Yuanbo is unruly in order to leave the girl, Qian is even more deeply admired, and he intuitively feels that Jing Yuanbo is worthy of the name of the first son, whether it is talent or bearing, it is very extraordinary."
It's just that, as Uncle Jing Yuan said, rules are rules, since the earl did not send enough five hundred flowers to the smiling girl in advance, he also asked the earl to abide by the agreement, resign from the invitation of the smiling girl, and give me and other people who have spent a lot of money a chance, so as to show the count's bearing! β
This person can see that he is also from an extraordinary background, although he is angry, but his words are not perverse, and even polite and courteous, so that it immediately resonates with many people, and the echoing voices are endless.
Jia Baoyu's heart twitched, he just wanted to scold his mother, and it wasn't Lao Zitian who was shameless to violate the rules, you didn't accept you to criticize Wei Xiaoxiao?
Is beauty really privileged?
Uh, it seems like yes. Jia Baoyu suddenly remembered Su Rili's actions, and suddenly his heart calmed down a lot.
Just as he was about to comply with the public opinion and refuse Wei Xiaoxiao's invitation, the bewitching beauty in the hall seemed to be surprised.
She said coquettishly: "Oh, the earl didn't send flowers to Xiaoxiao, the slave family is so sad." Dare to ask the earl, is it that the dance that the slave family danced before is not good-looking, or the lyrics and songs just now are not good? Xiaoxiao only asked the lord to criticize Yazheng, and he must correct it with his heart in the future. β
The tone was low, as if he had been greatly wronged, which suddenly caused many people to feel distressed, comforted again and again, and even glared at Jia Baoyu angrily.
Damn, laughing at such a beautiful girl, you actually bully others?!
In this regard, Jia Baoyu looked at it coldly. It's a pity that Du Shirong hurriedly explained for Jia Baoyu: "Miss Xiaoxiao misunderstood, he didn't think the girl was wrong, he just ......"
After thinking for a while, Du Shirong felt that he didn't know why Jia Baoyu didn't pull out a dime, so in order not to let Wei Xiaoxiao misunderstand and be wronged, he said: "Actually, he didn't send flowers to the four girls today, and it wasn't for Xiaoxiao alone. β
Jia Baoyu shook his head in his heart, you might as well not explain.
Sure enough, someone immediately denounced Jia Baoyu.
"What, I didn't give a single flower, this is too stingy, right?"
"That's it."
This is a word without malice, and it is purely everyone's disdain for misers and misers who do not fit in.
"Hmph, what kind of first son, I think he is a vain man, because he said so righteous words before, but he didn't pay a tael of silver, purely to eat white food.
This kind of person is really ashamed to be in company. β
This kind of person is dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu or jealous in his heart, and only dares to speak quietly in the crowd and provoke trouble.
Wei Xiaoxiao was not moved by these remarks, she patted her chest that was not too tall with relief, and laughed coquettishly: "Hehe, it turns out that the earl didn't just vote for Xiaoxiao, but all the sisters didn't vote, so Xiaoxiao is relieved." β
Looking at her appearance, she seems to admire Jia Baoyu to the extreme, as long as Jia Baoyu treats everyone equally, she has no regrets.
"It's just, why didn't the earl throw a single flower, could it be that he was in too much of a hurry to go out today and didn't bring any silver?"
Wei Xiaoxiao suddenly had a three-point joking voice.
She is the first Oiran freshly baked today, talking to Jia Baoyu with a smile in public, without hiding her favor and admiration for Jia Baoyu, and inadvertently ignited the fire of jealousy of many people.
Jia Baoyu looked at the increasingly unkind eyes coming from all directions, and naturally understood that this girl was doing it on purpose. But what good would it do her to deliberately let him attract hatred?
This little girl's skin, isn't it because she didn't lick her as a dog in the morning, so she remembered her revenge?
Seeing that the crowd was a little angry, Du Shirong and the others were a little restless, Jia Baoyu finally put down the wine glass and slowly stood up.
With his move, the whole hall seemed to be a lot quieter.
"The smiling girl is right, Benjue really didn't bring any silver, but it wasn't because he was in too much of a hurry, but because Benjue really didn't have any silver to bring.
It's not a secret, even if you come out today, it's also Brother Du's treat, otherwise, Benjue really wouldn't dare to come to this gold cave. β
Jia Baoyu looks up at space...... Fang Liang let out a sigh, as if he felt a deep inferiority complex for his poverty.
At this moment, the scene was completely silent.
Because Jia Baoyu's appearance really doesn't look like a joke, could it be that this Jing Yuanbo, who has infinite scenery in the eyes of outsiders, is his economic situation so embarrassing?
Wei Xiaoxiao never expected it, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and she said in a daze: "Is the earl joking with the slave family?" β
Other counts and viscounts may be short of silver, but Jia Baoyu can be shortage?
Of course, for those who know the Jia family and Jia Baoyu very well, most of them are still moved by Jia Baoyu's lonely demeanor, and they all want to hear what happened to this earl, so that he can say such a "poor and short-minded" thing.
Jia Baoyu glanced down at Wei Xiaoxiao and said, "I know that the girl who said it may not believe it, however, if this is the case, I can't help it."
Don't I, Jia Baoyu, want to be like everyone here, spending a lot of money for the Oiran I like in my heart?
No, no, no, Benjue always dreams of experiencing that bold feeling.
However, I can't. β
Jia Baoyu didn't know what she thought, and her expression suddenly changed from lonely to excited:
"If I'm just an idle earl at home, even if I save money on weekdays, I will save some yellow and white things and present them to the Oirans of the major green buildings.
But I'm not.
Because in addition to being a high-ranking official, I also have great responsibilities.
Thanks to the imperial court's attention, I was awarded the position of 'President of the Qincha Jingshi Health Hall', which is not high, but it has a great responsibility.
Even His Royal Highness the Second Prince is personally responsible for supervising the handling, and has repeatedly supervised me to do a good job and not to live up to the trust of the court and His Majesty.
In view of this, how dare Benjue ignore it?
The smiling girl is in a gold cave like the Yixiao Building, and she only needs to smile at the wind and moon in ten days to earn countless gold, silver and jewelry, and how can she know the value of silver?
Since I took up this position, Benjue has discovered that it turns out that the one or two pieces of silver that Benjue doesn't care about on weekdays are enough to ensure that a lonely and weak child can eat enough for half a year! A mere five taels of silver is enough to ensure all the food and clothing for a child for a year, so that they can grow up healthily!
Although five taels of silver is not much, but in the land of Gyeonggi, how many orphaned, weak, sick and disabled children are left out for various reasons, helpless? Thousands? Million?
The land of Gyeonggi, the richest place in the world, is still like this, all over the 18 provinces of the world, isn't there so many such people?
Those are all living beings, the people of the Holy Dynasty.
Benjue was ordered by the emperor and determined from the beginning of its establishment that the Jingshi Health Hall is not a health hall in the land of Gyeonggi, but a health hall of the Holy Dynasty, and a health hall in the world.
It is the creation of the Holy Dynasty, His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and the great virtue of the world.
Ben Jue is not talented, but since he has been ordered by the imperial court to live in this position, how dare he not be a vegetarian meal, how dare he not be exhausted?
Although the current Jingshi Health Hall can only accommodate a few thousand people, Benjue believes that one day, it will be able to collect all the orphans and weaknesses in the world, raise ChΓ©ng RΓ©n, and defend the frontier for the motherland in the future, and create wealth for the country.
So, the smiling girl asked me why I didn't send flowers to the girl, and I solemnly replied to the girl here, and Man said that Benjue didn't bring any silver in the first place, and even if he did, Benjue wouldn't give it away.
Since Benjue knew that five taels of silver would be enough for a child for a year, how could he care about the life and death of a hundred children and use five hundred taels of silver to make fun of the girl?
This is not something Jia can do. β
