Chapter 15: Congratulatory Gifts
"Brother Qiang, today is your host, and my brother has come to give you the joy of housewarming by the way."
At the door, Feng Ziying, who was dressed in a dark wide-sleeved brocade robe, had a cheerful smile on her face, which was very affinity.
There were also three servants behind him, pushing a cart of congratulatory gifts.
Seeing this, Jia Qiang arched her hand and smiled: "Why is it good that Brother Lao Feng is so expensive?" ”
Feng Ziying waved her hand and said, "It's not worth much silver, it's just a few things." He took out two ingots and ten taels of silver from his sleeve pocket, raised his chin, and said with a smile: "Don't refuse, I know a little bit about your current situation." If you recognize me as a friend, you will accept the ten taels of silver. Friends have a sense of wealth, unless you deny me. ”
To be honest, Jia Qiang was still a little moved in her heart.
It's just that there is too much explosive information that has been instilled in his previous life, which makes him sophisticated and unwilling to trust others......
So at this moment, he clearly thanked Feng Ziying's pride, and there was another voice in his heart that alerted him at all times:
People like Feng Ziying are born with the affinity to do great things, so they must have the ambition to do great things.
In the name of the current Meng Wei, the means of righteousness and thin clouds, to win people's hearts and gather as dead soldiers, such a person is really dangerous.
But......
Isn't that how adults should be?
Therefore, no matter what potential Feng Ziying likes him, Jia Qiang is willing to accept this investment at the moment.
The coming day is long, and there is a time to repay the righteousness of today's help.
At present, he is indeed short of silver.
I had just thanked Feng Ziying here, and before she was introduced into the second gate, I heard an arbitrary laugh from outside the main gate: "I guessed, I can come earlier than me, except for Lao Feng, there is no one else!" ”
Before the laughter was over, I saw Xue Pan walking in with a big grin, followed by two elders and two servants, also with a cart of congratulatory gifts.
Only his car was much bigger than Feng Ziying, and Xue Pan himself obviously discovered this, and became more and more happy.
However, when I looked around, I saw Liu Laoshi standing timidly by the well and smiling, and the sturdy iron bull with his head squatting in the corner and not daring to look up to see people, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Brother Qiang, your yard is a little broken, it's okay, go back and find some craftsmen to repair and repair, you can live, and you are the only one on the left and right." But where did you get these two servants, eh, no, no, no, they look stupid and stupid, where will they serve people, and change the two little girls...... Hey? Brother Qiang, my brother blames you, the little lady here is ......"
"Old Xue, stop it!"
Without waiting for Jia Qiang to speak, Feng Ziying on the side couldn't listen anymore, and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking nonsense? These are Brother Qiang's uncle's family, don't talk nonsense. ”
As soon as this remark came out, Xue Pan didn't say it, Jia Qiang was shocked, there was no reason!
No matter how powerful Feng Ziying is, after all, he is the person he re-befriended yesterday, how can he inquire about his roots so clearly?
However, Feng Ziying immediately turned her head and said to him: "I met Brother Rong in Rongfu last night, and when we came out together, he told me that you are now living with your uncle's family, and fortunately, otherwise you would not be able to prepare many courtesies today." ”
It happened that the Feng family's entourage over there brought down a few pieces of cloth from the car, as well as some home-cooked goods such as rice, flour, oil, salt, and meat.
The cost of this car may be less than five taels of silver, but it is indeed what Jia Qiang's family can use now.
It became more and more valuable that Feng Ziying's heart was ......
Jia Qiang felt embarrassed.
On the other side, after Xue Pan made a fuss, what Xue Jiacha Mountain moved down was some valuable furniture and antiques.
Seeing this, Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "Uncle Xue, this can't be done, it's too precious." ”
Xue Pan became more and more unhappy when he heard this, and said unhappily: "What is Uncle Xue?" I just said yesterday that I am called a brother, or you can call me Uncle Xue...... Besides, what is this Rausch thing worth to me? Brother Qiang, we haven't known each other for a day or two, and we have a good relationship. Now that you're not rich, you must not have brought out the things at home, and you will push me to come up with ideas, it's too boring, right? Mother-in-law and mother-in-law ......"
Compared with Feng Ziying, it is the arrogant Xue Pan who makes Jia Qiang more at ease, Xue Pan has a reputation as a "scattered wealth nerd" in the family studies, and everyone wants to get some oil and water from him......
However, at this time, Xue Pan was able to treat each other like this, Jia Qiang was grateful in her heart, so she smiled and said: "Old Xue, you think clearly, my life is not very good now, if there is really a bad time, I may use these as silver, don't blame me." ”
Xue Pan turned annoyed into joy when he heard this, and laughed: "This is refreshing enough, since it is given to you, it is up to you whether it is smashed or smashed!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard two laughs outside.
Xue Panden turned his head and saw the laughing person's eyes wide, and he wondered, "Why did you two come together?" ”
The scene of these two shameless people sticking baked cakes behind his back has already surfaced in his heart......
Qiguan Jiang Yuhan smiled shyly and did not speak.
Baoyu smiled and said, "Of course it was made by the previous child." ”
He said to Jia Qiang again: "Qi Guan and I are not as rich as Brother Xue, but we also have a heart." ”
As he spoke, he took out a congratulatory gift.
They are all wrapped in embroidered purses, especially the one of Qi Guan, and even the embroidered purses are embroidered by him himself.
Jia Qiang respected their aesthetics, but decided to take out the silver in the purse and press the purse on the bottom of the box, which would never see the light of day.
The congratulatory gifts given by the two were about five taels of silver per person.
Although this congratulatory gift is far from being as valuable as Xue Pan's car of furniture and antiques, and it is not as valuable as Feng Ziying, but the current cow is only 7,000 yuan.
In the 100 years since the founding of Dayan, the exchange of silver money for copper money has long been no longer one or two for one thousand wen, but one or two for about 1,500 wen.
In other words, Jia Baoyu and Qiguan Jiang Yuhan gave Jia Qiang a cow each......
The congratulatory gifts of the four were seen by Liu Laoshi's family, and they were all secretly speechless.
These gifts for just four people are much more than the silver money they have accumulated over the years.
Aunt Chun, who was originally distressed by Jia Qiang taking those meats for a treat, has no opinion at all now.
Jia Qiang briefly introduced Liu Laoshi's family to the guests, Xue Pan had little interest, if Liu Daniu hadn't gotten married, maybe he would still move his heart, but Liu Daniu had become a parent and child, he didn't have any thoughts, and he was not a human (Jia) wife (Lian) control......
Qi Guan and Baoyu nodded politely and kept their distance.
Only Feng Ziying chatted with interest, and when he learned that Liu Laoshi's family was originally living on the Huangmu Wharf, he asked with a smile: "Huangmu Wharf?" That's a coincidence, there is the imperial store, and the person in charge is the third child of the Dong family of the Internal Affairs Office, named Dong Ye, who has a good relationship on weekdays. ”
Liu Laoshi, Tie Niu, and Aunt Chun were shocked when they heard this, and Aunt Chun lost her voice and said, "Uncle knows Dong Papi? ”
Feng Ziying laughed and said: "I knew that he had such a nickname, and he still didn't admit it, what will he say next time he eats and drinks?" ”
Aunt Chun'er's face immediately changed when she heard this, her bluffed old face turned pale, and her tears were about to fall.
Feng Ziying hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't misunderstand, Dong Ye is a brother in our ranks, and the relationship is very close, if he dares to make it difficult for you, I will not spare him." ”
Aunt Chun immediately recovered her complexion when she heard this, and said faintly excitedly: "Can the uncle let him raise his noble hand, we ......"
"Auntie."
Jia Qiang interrupted Aunt Chun'er's pleading, and said softly: "It was someone who deliberately passed the word to drive you out of the dock, and this is not just the meaning of that Dong Peeling. It takes a lot of effort to get him to change his mind. The point is, it's not worth it. ”
Aunt Chun is worthy of being an old man who has been working on the dock for many years, and immediately saw some clues from this sentence, and said with a smile: "I'm just a few words in the vernacular, and I'm a little reluctant." But I'm not happy to let me go back to that shabby yard again. Go in, go in. He shouted again: "Tie Niu, you rammer, the pigs raised in Nanshi have more vision than you, what are you doing squatting there?" ”
Feng Ziying's smile remained unchanged, Xue Pan looked at the tower-like iron bull but pouted like a waste, Baoyu and Qi Guan quietly looked at Jia Qiang, and saw that he invited the four of them to enter as usual, and he didn't feel ashamed at all, and he praised it in his heart.
Without further words, the group passed through the screen gate and arrived at the back house to go to today's host.
