Chapter 342: Self-nomination
The three of them sat in the main hall, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.
Originally, these private words were difficult to say even the closest handkerchiefs.
Especially Baochai, who is dignified and respectful, he shouldn't even think about it.
But at this moment, although Baochai and Ping'er both blushed with shame, they did not feel disgusted and disgusted.
This may be what the second master of Duzhong Bao thinks in his "daughter view": the girl is not married, and she is a priceless jewel; got married, somehow there were a lot of bad problems, although it was a bead, but it was not a glorious jewel, it was a dead pearl; No matter how old you get, it's not a bead, it's a fish's eye......
But this is just Baoyu's opinion, for the daughter's family, if you can get a lover who you admire in your heart, one day you can say some intimate and embarrassing private words in the boudoir, in fact, it is extremely happy and yearning.
What girl doesn't have a spring?
Jia Cong saw that the second daughter was shyly and laughing, and his heart was also warm and fond, he said, "I'll say another joke......
"Don't!!"
Baochai and Ping'er raised their heads at the same time and said in unison.
Disgusted, the two looked at each other, ashamed and ridiculous, laughed together, and lowered their heads again.
Just laughing, this one alone is already embarrassing and can't see people, and if there is another one, neither of them can look at each other anymore......
Jia Cong accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't be abrupt anymore, and turned to get down to business: "Ming'er, I'm going to Mr.'s house, Qingwen, Xiaohong, Chunyan, and Xiangling The four of them have lived in Shangshu Mansion, so I'll take them with me." After coming back, I accompanied Sister Ping'er to Wang's house, met Feng's second sister-in-law's Lao Tzuniang, and brought the native products entrusted by the second sister-in-law. Sister Bao will rest for a day first, and the day after tomorrow, I will accompany you to meet the relatives of the Xue family and see your uncle and aunt...... The day after tomorrow, I went to Zhen's house during the day to meet Zhen Yingjia, president of the Qincha Jinling Provincial Tiren Institute, and at night at the old house of Rongguo Mansion on Rongning Street, I had a banquet for the twelve families of the Jia family in Jinling. On October 19, he set off for Yangzhou. What do Sister Bao and Sister Ping'er think? ”
Listening to Jia Cong's words, Baochai and Ping'er also forgot about their shyness for the time being, Baochai looked serious and said: "The second uncle and the second aunt may not be at home, her family has business in all provinces, and the second uncle likes to go around...... You can send Mama to take a look first.
There are also a few old relatives and old friends, I don't have to go in person, let my brother give gifts. If the second uncle is at home, I will go to the second uncle's house to have a look. If not, I'll stay here......
Brother Cong, when you go to Yangzhou, where do you want to stay?
With such a big family, it's not good to bother the girl, right? ”
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Also, there is a place for the military camp to be placed, and someone has been sent to build it." As for the family's residence...... It's too late to raid the house when I go. It's better to be wronged by Uncle Lin for a few days first, and then I'll take someone to copy a few houses after I go......"
Baochai originally said things solemnly, but when she heard Jia Cong say this, she couldn't help but giggle and say, "How can there be such a thing? Such as...... The king of the mountain is as domineering as he is! ”
Ping'er also said angrily: "How can there be a reason to take away other people's property for your own residence? ”
Jia Cong sighed and said, "I am good, but it's a pity that some people are rushing to die...... That's it, these little things are not talked about at home. If you can't do it, let someone rent a manor first. ”
Baochai smiled again: "You don't have to live elsewhere, I remember that when my father was there, he bought the next business in Yangzhou for recreation." Although it is not more generous than other families, it is enough to live only in the family. ”
After that, he looked at Jia Cong with some caution.
Although it is only a place to stay, there are too many sayings in it......
Jia Cong didn't seem to be aware of it, and after a little thought, he nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Baochai smiled brightly, and Ping'er also bowed slightly.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, but it was Chi Yu who led a group of maids in with food boxes.
Four more healthy women entered with a large round table, and eight little girls held bowls, chopsticks, teacups and teapots, as well as copper basins and towels for washing.
Qingwen, Ying'er and others came in with a small round stool and laughing.
Baochai, Ping'er and others have already known the big girl Chi Yu, and they all like this mediocre-looking but dignified, steady, and meticulous girl.
The grandmothers set up the round table and retired, and Qingwen and others set up the round stool carved with the cloud pattern of the lotus flower in the south of the Yangtze River.
Chi Yu instructed the eight little girls to either set up tea bowls, chopsticks and spoons, or pour tea and water, or wait for the masters to wash their hands and rinse their mouths.
After wiping the table again, the tablecloth was spread out and plates of Jiangnan delicacies warmed with hot water in the food box were placed on the table.
The eight little girls then stood around, and Chi Yu was about to retire.
Where will Baochai, Ping'er and others allow her to be forced to serve on the table.
Chi Yu adhered to his duty and only said that he didn't dare to sit at the same table with his master.
Ping'er said with a smile: "Except for Cong'er and Miss Bao here, the others are all girls, and none of them are more valuable than you, if you don't dare to serve on the table, then we simply don't serve on the table, just leave the third master and Miss Bao to eat." ”
Chi Yu was embarrassed, and Jia Cong said, "Sit down, we will all be a family in the future." Now that I don't have my relatives around, everyone is the same age, so I don't have to be too restrictive about the rules. ”
Chi Yu was slightly surprised when she heard this, she served Jia Cong for a few days, and knew that Jia Cong should be a person with extremely strict rules.
The study is not allowed to enter, the bedroom is not allowed to enter, the three meals a day must be punctual, and the speech is serious......
I didn't expect it to be relaxed at this time.
After Chi Yu sat down, Jia Cong swept the circle of smiling girls, and said to Chi Yu: "Qingwen and Xiaohong, they have suffered too much with me in the past, and this time they are naughty when they go south, so don't bother them about the trivial matters at home on weekdays." You work harder, bring someone to do it. ”
Before Chi Yu could say yes, Qingwen, Xiaohong and the others stopped doing it, and shouted: "How can there be such a reason? We do our own things, and we are not happy if we don't do things! ”
After that, he also glanced at Chi Yu, who was still close to her sister just now, vigilantly.
For their own territory, the maids are 120,000 points tight.
Jia Cong smiled dumbly and said, "Whatever you want, let's eat first...... By the way, what about Little Horn? ”
As he was talking, he heard a sound of footsteps outside.
Others didn't care, Chi Yu frowned slightly.
Not to mention the conditioning of the Wu family in the Song Mansion, even her original family that was barely well-to-do did not allow the girl to walk like this.
In a blink of an eye, I saw Xiao Jiao'er holding the hands of Fang Fang Yuanyuan's two little girls and running in, all three of them were flushed and full of childlike fun.
Qingwen was the first to speak, gritting her teeth and scolding: "Little hooves are becoming more and more unruly, and they are not afraid of making people laugh, others only say that no one teaches them at home, and they don't know the rules like you!" ”
She had seen Chi Yu frown earlier, so she lectured.
However, it can also be regarded as a warning to some people not to overstep their bounds.
Xiaojiao'er was taught such a lesson, and she became honest when she came, she was just greedy, not ignorant of the rules.
dared to run around like this, in fact, it was also indulged by Qingwen and Xiaohong when they were on the boat.
Ping'er smiled gently: "Okay, let's eat first." ”
Xiaojiao'er heard Ping'er's voice, and the little round face blossomed, although she was young, she knew that Sister Ping'er's heart was the best, and she was the most useful in speaking, even the third master and Miss Bao gave her dignity, and with her to speak, there was no need to be afraid of anything.
Qingwen saw that her little face on her back wrinkled with laughter, and her little mouth was also the largest, and she could see her white little teeth and trembling red tongue, and she couldn't help but be infected by her presumptuous but innocent laughter, and couldn't help laughing, and scolded: "Little hoof, someone is supporting you, so happy?" ”
Baochai and the others laughed when they heard this.
Xiao Jiao'er took Fang Fang Yuanyuan into the seat, Fang Fang Yuanyuan didn't dare, but after being watched by a table of people, the cringe in the two pairs of big eyes was even more distressing.
However, Xiao Jiao'er said confidently: "Don't be afraid, the third master asked me to take care of you, the third master likes you!" He added in a slightly lower voice: "I like you as much as I like you." With that, his big eyes quietly aimed at Jia Cong.
Jia Cong smiled at Baochai, Ping'er and the others: "I believe that you will not be dull on the ship." ”
Baochai shook his head with a smile and said, "It's all to avoid me, I'll go back to the house after I finish taking care of things, and let them go." ”
Ping'er smiled: "It's good to have someone who is afraid, otherwise it will be lawless." ”
Jia Cong nodded, took the lead in moving his chopsticks, and added a chopstick to the famous squirrel fish in Jinling and added it to Baochai's bowl, and after clipping a phoenix shrimp to Ping'er, he said with a smile: "Eat them all." ”
A group of girls looked at Baochai and Ping'er, who had a shy face on their faces, giggled, and began to move their chopsticks.
In fact, with such a big formation, there are so many famous Jiangnan dishes on the table, but where can a group of girls eat?
They all looked like they were going to become gluttonous foodies, but they didn't eat for a quarter of an hour, and they couldn't eat.
In the end, he only looked at Jia Cong, although he was quiet, he kept swallowing slowly.
After a year of training in the military camp and more than two months of hell mode, in addition to the sharpening of mental perseverance, Jia Cong's biggest gain is a tough and solid body and a considerable appetite.
Baochai and Ping'er, who were sitting next to him, kept moving vegetables for him from a distance, and sometimes he saw that his food was so sweet, and the girls who were already full would eat another bite or two, even Baochai.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Jia Cong finally stopped his chopsticks, took a few sips of fragrant tea from Ping'er's hand, and took a handkerchief from Baochai's hand to wipe the fine sweat on his head before it was over.
Chunyan asked, "The third master looks so thin, how can he still eat like this?" God! Four bowls of rice! ”
"Whoa!"
After Chunyan finished speaking, everyone heard a muffled sound from the end of the table, and when they looked around, they saw that Xiao Jiao'er's face was red, and a small hand was covering his mouth, stealing music there.
After seeing that it was discovered, not only did it not confiscate, but it became even more happy.
Everyone was infected by this joy again, and they laughed out loud.
Qingwen jumped over, pulled Xiao Jiao'er's hand down, and asked with a smile, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Xiao Jiao'er was not afraid, and giggled: "I'm not...... I'm not the most edible! Giggles! ”
"Haha!"
Qingwen put away her hand, laughed, and held Xiao Jiao'er's round face and kneaded it.
A table of people was lively, but I saw a woman outside hurriedly coming in, standing six or seven steps away from the dining table, bowing down and saying: "Master, there is a word in front of me, saying that there is an Oiran from Wangjiang Pavilion outside, named Qingxi, and he also brought a girl, saying that he is coming to be a maid for the third master, and begging the third master to take him in!" There was a hint of excitement in Mama's tone.
seemed to be worried that Jia Cong, an outsider, didn't know the depths, so he deliberately added a sentence: "Master, the slave maid heard that Qingxi is the first in the Hundred Flowers List, and she is unique in color and art." How many dignitaries and nobles will want to see each other but can't get it! ”
When Baochai, Ping'er and others heard this, they looked at each other and looked at Jia Cong together.
