Chapter 396: Watermelon (Second Update!) )

"What did you tell me to do?"

Jia Qiang had just returned to Ningfu, and before he entered the door to calm down some of the lingering palpitations that had been stirred by today's events, he saw Lin Zhixiao from Rongfu waiting at the door, saying that the old lady of Xifu had called him over.

Lin Zhixiao smiled and said: "Master Hou said that he was joking, how can the slave know about the old lady?" ”

Jia Qiang twitched the corners of her mouth, didn't say much, and asked Li Jing to tell Qi Yun that after sending ice to Yang's house every day, she still went to Xifu.

Today's tragic situation of Mrs. Yang really made him depressed. The kind of despair that is more mournful than the death of his heart makes him inevitably feel compassion......

After entering the gate of Rongfu and passing through the Neiyi Gate, he saw a carriage passing by, he didn't take it seriously, he didn't want the carriage to take two steps and stop, and the two got off the carriage.

One is Ping'er and the other is Feng'er.

Ping'er was the dowry girl that Sister Feng brought from the Wang family at the beginning, and although she was nominally allowed to be a room for Jia Lian, it was just to get rid of a jealous name, but she was not allowed to touch it in private.

Feng'er is a girl who came to Jiafu to collect, but she is loyal to Sister Feng, and she acts neatly and thoughtfully, which is very trustworthy for Sister Feng.

Because Jia Qiang swept away the slaves of the Jia family last time, they were almost empty.

There are so many daughters-in-law under her hands, Sister Feng is really busy, and finally handed over half of the power in her hands, and asked Ping'er and Feng'er to help her share many trivial things.

Seeing the two get out of the carriage and come to each other, Jia Qiang looked at Ping'er's extremely delicate and warm face, and without waiting for the two to salute, she asked first, "Sister Ping'er, is there something wrong?" ”

Ping'er and Feng'er still saluted according to the rules, and then laughed softly: "There is no reason why the master walks behind, and the slave sits in front and walks." Second, there is indeed one thing that I want to ask for to the Hou Ye. ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Second aunt treats you as a relative, and there are few people in the Jia family who treat you as a slave, don't say this in front of me in the future, listen to the tooth...... And say, What is it? ”

Ping'er smiled more and more amiably when she heard this, and said, "Because the eldest master and the second master Lian are both injured, the second. Grandma is busy taking care of the old lady every day, so she can't go to the East Road Courtyard often, so she asked me and Feng'er to go to see it every day......"

Jia Qiang sighed and asked, "Are they still alive?" ”

“……”

Seeing Ping'er and Feng'er speechless together, Jia Qiang sighed and said, "Naughty joke, Sister Ping'er and continue." ”

Ping'er smiled and said: "Second Master Lian is recovering well, the injured is not in the critical place, Lang Zhong said that he will raise it for another month, and he can pull down and walk around." It's just the old man's ......," she sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's a little troublesome." ”

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and said, "But you can't save it?" ”

Ping'er smiled bitterly: "Master Hou talks like this, so I can't answer...... No, Lang Zhong said, take care of it, change the medicine on time, and you can raise it for more than half a year. ”

Jia Qiang nodded, her eyes did not hide her disappointment, and asked, "Where is the trouble?" ”

Ping'er said: "Mrs. Fang Cai told me that the eldest master has been anxious to eat ice cheese in the past two days, and he has lost his temper several times. It wasn't that difficult, but last year there were too many things at home, and no one bothered to take ice and hide it in the ice cellar in winter, but this year there was no ice. ”

Jia Qiangqi said: "I didn't pick ice last year, so I sent someone out to buy a piece and came back, which is also difficult?" ”

Ping'er said: "Send someone to go, but the person who can buy it said that every year, the ice house will not be opened until mid-March at the earliest, and it is not yet March, and the ice houses in the capital have not yet opened, so there is nowhere to buy." ”

Jia Qiang understood when she heard this, nodded and said, "It just so happens that the prince of Zhongqin is gone, and he also needs to use ice, so I will send someone to take a piece back from his coffin." ”

"Master Hou, ......"

Ping'er was simply full of resentment.

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, I know, I'll send someone to send it when I get back." Nothing else, right? If nothing else, I'll go to Rongqing Hall to see the old lady. ”

Seeing that Jia Qiang finally stopped laughing, Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief, and left with Feng'er, who had been silly for a long time.

……

"How did you come? Didn't you just say that you had already arrived at the door? ”

As soon as Jia Qiang entered the Rongqing Hall, she heard Jia Mu ask.

Jia Qiang sighed, shook her head and said, "On the way, I heard that the eldest master Xu felt that it was almost bad, and he was going to use ice, so I asked people to prepare." ”

Jia Mu: "......"

Mrs. Wang: "......"

Aunt Xue: "......"

The adults were speechless, but the sisters of the Jia family worked extremely hard one by one, especially Xiangyun, who had always loved to laugh the most, forcibly pinched her thighs to stop laughing, and while she wanted to laugh frantically, she pinched her own tears of pain.

Sister Feng complained that the eldest man of the East Road Courtyard wanted to eat ice cheese and wanted to [ ] tightly, but his son had nowhere to buy ice.

As a result, Jia Qiang said this, which is really ......

"Phew!"

Jia Mu was annoyed and funny, and said with a straight face: "If you talk nonsense again, I will call Ruhai to discipline you!" ”

Jia Qiang snorted, and after saluting with Jia's mother and other elders, she sat down on the edge of Baoyu's seat casually, and said strangely: "Hey, why are you sitting here today?" But did you also find that the face sitting on the high platform became more and more eye-catching? ”

"Poof!"

"Hahahaha!"

Xiangyun did his best, but he couldn't hold it back, and laughed out loud with his head up.

Although Baoyu's face is better, the bruising and redness have not disappeared, and with the application of medicine, the appearance is becoming more and more funny, but in front of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others, no one dares to make fun of them.

I didn't expect Jia Qiang to say it so accurately as soon as she came......

Baoyu stood up in shame and wanted to drag Jia Qiang, but Jia Mu was startled and hurriedly said: "Baoyu is not impulsive, don't hurt yourself!" ”

Jia Qiang was amused by this sentence, and looked at Jia Mu and smiled.

Jia Mu said angrily: "Are you still laughing? I knew how to bully Baoyu every day! ”

Jia Qiang was simply wronged, and said to Aunt Xue: "My aunt's wife came to judge the reasoning, Baoyu wanted to beat me, and I didn't even move, so I became a bully to Baoyu." On the Yin family's Xuan Ci Hall, I want to wrestle with Kehe and the king of the county, and the Yin family didn't say anything. Why, Baoyu is so expensive? ”

Mother Jia was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked Aunt Xue, "He wrestled with the fifth prince in the Yin family?!" ”

Aunt Xue smiled: "It was the prince who made fun of my brother first...... It's not a joke, he said that his brother is more beautiful than a girl, and he doesn't have to pay money to eat flowers and wine. I see he's a little envious......"

Sister Feng and the sisters laughed, but Mother Jia was still not at ease, and said, "Then he is going to wrestle with the prince of other people?" Can you do it? ”

Aunt Xue smiled: "Where can I do it?" Mrs. Yin persuaded her. ”

Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw Jia Qiang looking east and west, she whispered something to Baoyu, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Baoyu and Xiangyun Xichun on the right side both shook their heads with a smile, and when they heard Jia's mother ask, Baoyu grinned and said, "Brother Qiang asked if there was any fruit to eat." ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "Don't look at me like this, I just walked around in a group of Yuanping heroes, one by one, my heart is still beating around at this moment, I have to eat something to suppress the shock...... If Baoyu had gone like this, she would have peed her pants early! ”

Baoyu stretched out his hand to fight with Jia Qiang, but was finally dragged by Xiangyun.

Seeing that they were stubbornly together, Jia Mu looked festive and asked the mandarin duck to prepare some fruits.

The mandarin duck walked down, and after seeing Jia Qiang pressing Baoyu's face back with one hand, he asked with a smile, "What does Master Hou want to eat?" ”

Jia Qiang asked, "What are they?" ”

The mandarin duck said: "It's just apples, pears, and oranges." ”

Jia Qiang asked sincerely, "Do you have watermelons?" ”

Yingchun on the side couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "Brother Qiang is really frightened today, so naughty!" ”

Tanchun also smiled and said, "It turns out that you are also afraid!" ”

Jia Mu was curious above: "What are you doing in the Yuanping Heroes pile today?" ”

Jia Qiang thought about it, but still told the truth, and said, "Didn't Baoyu be beaten by Yang Lu, the son of Zhongqin Bo, in Juyue Tower before? ”

Jia Mu frowned and said, "Isn't this matter over?" What are you doing with this? She thought Jia Qiang was still making fun of Baoyu.

Jia Qiang shook her head, raised her eyes to look at Jia Mu, and said, "What did I provoke him to do, but Yang Lu'er died suddenly." ”

Hearing this, there was a sudden silence in the Rongqing Hall, and then many people turned pale.

Jia Mu was also terrified, and couldn't even speak for a while.

Jia Qiangqi said: "Mrs. Aunt didn't tell you? ”

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others all looked at Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue said in a daze: "I didn't hear it at the time, and I didn't mention who died at that time." ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said to Jia's mother: "But it has nothing to do with our family, Yang Lu was poisoned by his eldest brother Yang Qi, and the embroidered clothes guard and the criminal department have already solved the case." ”

Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then said angrily: "Then what are you saying to do to bluff us?" ”

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "Didn't I bluff at first...... By the way, Zhao Guogong Jiang Duo's old ginger, I have to send some ice to the Yang family, saying that the Yang family has no silver, and the heroes of Yuanping are poor. ”

Mother Jia couldn't care about this forgetting eight gray grandsons and scolded Huai, and asked, "Haven't you been stingy?" ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "I have already responded, from today onwards, when Yang Lu and his son come back, I will send twenty feet and five square meters of ice to Yang's house every day." ”

The ice that is five feet square also costs five taels of silver a piece in the capital.

In other words, Jia Qiang has to send a hundred taels of silver to the Yang family every day.

It's three thousand taels a month, but if it's a few months......

Of course, doing this is not just for the Yang family, but more importantly, for the living.

Among the heroes of Yuanping, there are also several factions, and it is impossible to kill them all, so it is always necessary to make friends and win over a wave, neutralize a wave, suppress a wave, and then remove a wave......

Mother Jia felt distressed after calculating it, but she was even more afraid that Jia Qiang would be distressed and would not send it, so she said: "I'd rather spend more than make such a mortal enemy." If you don't have plenty of money, I'll give you half of it. ”

Jia Qiang waved her hand and smiled: "Where to use the old lady to make money...... suddenly looked up and asked the mandarin duck in front of him: "Is there a watermelon?" ”

The mandarin duck stomped his feet angrily and said, "Master Hou is really ...... Where did the watermelon come from in this bone joint? ”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang stood up, shook her head and complained, "I don't even have watermelons, so I'm in a hurry to ask me to do something." Old lady, you talk first, I'll go back and eat two tooth melons and come back. ”

Everyone: "......"

Tanchun and Xiangyun gave Xichun a hard look, and Xichun giggled: "Brother Qiang, do we still have watermelons in our house?" How did I not know? ”

Jia Qiang turned around and said: "You haven't asked for it, but it's not much, it seems that there are only one or two left from the southern province, and there are not many in total. Do you want to eat? You're going to eat it, and I'll leave you a tooth. ”

Xichun wrinkled his little nose at him, a tooth?

He didn't mention watermelon, who would think of eating that?

But after he mentioned it a few more times, somehow, even the elders like Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue missed that taste very much at the moment.

Mother Jia was annoyed by this unfilial seed, and she didn't see a single good thing like this.

Sister Feng couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and grabbed Jia Qiang's arm, pulled her out, and didn't forget to turn around and laugh loudly at Jia's mother: "Ancestor, wait first, if there is only one left in Dongfu today, I will have to come back for half of it." If there are two, then everyone will be blessed today! ”

Jia Mu laughed and pointed to Baoyu, Tanchun, Xiangyun and others: "You guys also go together, how can you grab the phoenix girl?" Besides, if the two of them are embarrassed to gang up, they must eat the watermelon! ”

A group of sisters laughed and swarmed up, pulling Jia Qiang to the East Mansion......
