Chapter 300: Cutting Love
What caught Xiao Jing's eyes were two beautiful girls who were just a young age.
Both of them wore the clothes of servants. Seeing that someone was probing, they quickly got up and saluted in the cramped carriage; Only then did he lower his head, and one of the bolder ones took advantage of Xiao Jing's distraction to peek at him with moving eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Although the two girls are still immature, they can be regarded as delicate and bright beauty embryos. In a few years, their appearance may still not be comparable to Cher's, but the color can definitely compete with many wealthy people's favored Mrs. Ru.
"Excuse me, what does that mean?" Xiao Jing glanced at Steward Xia deeply, and said lightly: "Xiao is stupid, please speak clearly." ”
Steward Xia said respectfully: "If you return to Gongzi, thanks to your protection, Miss can return safely." This love is owed to you by the Xia family. My grandfather has long heard that Gongzi is alone, although he has no worries about food and clothing, but he has few people who can speak and serve by his side. ”
As he spoke, he put away his smile and said, "These two little maids have been raised by the Xia family for many years, and their appearance is quite reasonable. They are not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also good at singing and dancing, and they are also intimate and sensible and can serve people on weekdays. A mere gift is not enough to repay your kindness in case of emergency; Childe is a rare young talent at the moment, and there is a newspaper that makes everyone in Beijing look at him, and his future is limitless...... How can someone like you have no one around to take care of your diet and daily life? ”
Seeing that Xiao Jing didn't speak, Steward Xia raised his voice and said, "Xiang'er, Yu'er, this is Xiao Jing and Xiao Gongzi, who are famous in Beijing, don't you get out of the car to greet you?" ”
The second daughter of Shicai didn't know who Xiao Jing was. At this time, Steward Xia introduced it as a formal acquaintance, so they slowly got out of the car and saluted again, and called sweetly in unison: "Xiao Gongzi." ”
I have to say: Girls raised by big families, no matter what their status, their temperament is absolutely indispensable. From getting off the bus to the present, the two of them have been very polite in every move, they are the ladies of ordinary rich families, but they are not as good as these two girls who claim to be servants.
Xiao Jing's heart was a little uneasy. Still, out of politeness, he politely returned the salute.
The woman in front of him was a little restrained, but he could see that Xiang'er and Yu'er's faces were a little happy.
In this era, the handmaiden is just an object to be sent to and fro, without the slightest dignity as a human being. If you are lucky to catch up with a good person, it is better to say, if you catch up with a ruthless master, life and death are just a matter of people's words, where is there any hope in this life?
And no wonder. Although President Xiao Da is not as good as Pan An and Song Yu, he also has a bit of a jade tree in the wind; In this way, it seems that it is much better to live a plain and quiet rich life with him, who is quite benevolent in the community, than to live a bad old man who is about to die.
Steward Xia smiled and said, "I don't know if this gift is satisfactory?" ”
Xiao Jing smiled noncommittally and walked towards another carriage.
Coming to the car, he took a few deep breaths before reaching for the curtain.
The gift of the Xia family is too shocking for an ordinary person like him who only dared to YY a rich family in ancient times in the film and television dramas of his previous life, and he still needs time to digest and adapt.
The curtain opened.
This time, Xiao Jing's expression was obviously not as stunned as last time, but the lingering surprise in his heart still made the corners of his mouth move slightly.
The car is full of all kinds of goods and elegant things!
Although there are no priceless rare treasures, Xiao Jing knows that everything here is a very valuable thing: just the picture scroll he unfolded casually was the handwriting of a famous artist from the previous dynasty. When you get it on the market, you can exchange it for a thousand taels of silver.
Xiao Jing opened the smallest but most exquisite box again.
There was only a wad of paper in it. At the top is a deed, while the thick stack below is full of silver tickets.
Rao was mentally prepared for a long time, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Xiao Jing has some impressions of this house. When he passed by a long time ago, he was very envious in his heart, and he half-jokingly said to Shao Ning, "It would be nice if we could move here", but I didn't expect it......
The contents of this box alone are worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.
What is the concept of so much money?
The newspaper's advertising revenue in a year is only nearly 50,000 taels. If the net income is calculated, this title deed and silver ticket alone can make Xiao Jing work for ten years less!
If you count the other belongings in the car, he can now take over the newspaper office, buy land and become a rich man with peace of mind, and ensure that generations of people are leisurely and have no worries about food and clothing.
I have long known that the Xia family was rich and rivaled the country, but I didn't expect that after losing power for so many years, Xia Honghan still made such a bold move!
Steward Xia looked at Xiao Jing who was standing still with a smile, looking confident.
What the world cares about is nothing more than the word wealth.
In Steward Xia's view, no matter how lofty his ideals are, it is impossible not to have a little fame and fortune; At the same time, he is a single man with no family and affection, and he is already a person who has been hanging from each other and has just arrived at the ghost gate, how can he not desire stability and warmth?
The matter of taking a concubine before marrying a wife is very common in Da Rui. The young man is strong-blooded, as long as his heart is soft, he will find the bottom of the steps, and then half-push and half-smile at the beautiful girl who sent it to the door...... Xiao Jing is also a person with seven emotions and six desires, will he push off the fat that is sent to his mouth?
After a long time, Xiao Jing finally moved.
He walked up to Steward Xia and said sincerely, "I just did what I had to do, and I didn't have any credit to speak of. Xia Shilang's generous gift, Xiao is grateful. ”
Steward Xia raised his eyebrows. This young man is quite sensible, not only did he not show the slightest greed in the face of temptation, but he also knew that he had to resist it decently first, which is good!
With a smile on his face, he wanted to politely persuade the other party to accept the gift. Who knew that before he could speak, Xiao Jing said again: "It's just that I really deserve the beautiful maids and money of the Xia family, and I ask you to tell Xia Shilang that Xiao will come to visit again after a while." ”
Steward Xia was stunned.
Xiao Jing's expression was extremely sincere, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy. Could it be that he is really not moved?
In desperation, Steward Xia had no choice but to catch up with Xiao Jing, who was leaving with his feet, and said, "Son, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's take things." The Xia family really just talked about thanks, and had nothing else to do......"
Xiao Jing stopped.
The Xia family's actions are really just to show gratitude? Or is it that once he receives this generous gift, he and Xia Honghan will be cleared of both people and money?
Xiao Jing looked at Steward Xia, who was full of eagerness, and smiled: "It's not that Xiao doesn't know how to lift." It's just that what I want is the most precious priceless treasure of the Xia family...... I don't know if Xia Shilang is willing to cut his love? ”
