Chapter 111: What are you afraid of
Jia Rui understood Qingwen's feelings.
Baoyu is the master of the Eight Classics, and his future is promising, and he is also favored in the house.
Baoyu is more generous to the maids and is not as harsh as others.
The environment there is good, the workload is not large, and the salary is high.
If you are lucky, you may be promoted in the future, become an aunt, and be half a master.
For the maid, this is also the best destination.
Qingwen is beautiful, and her appearance and figure are very similar to Daiyu. If nothing else, there is a good chance that she will become an aunt.
It's just that she didn't expect that the attacker would strike first, and she had already locked her aunt's position in advance.
For Qingwen to come here, Jia Rui has an indispensable attitude.
You can stay here if you want to, and leave if you don't want to stay. I don't expect anything from her.
In the next two days, he didn't bother to deal with Qingwen and ignored her.
Except for being able to see her during dinner, I usually can't see her.
On the third day, Lin Zhixiao came to pass on the words of the ancestor and asked Jia Rui to go to the mansion to see her.
When they arrived at the ancestor, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue were all there, and when they saw Jia Rui coming, several people said goodbye and left.
"Meet the ancestors, say hello to the ancestors, the ancestors are auspicious."
"Hmph, good things to say, if I don't call you here, you won't come, now your wings are stiff, aren't they?"
"Ancestor, I am the monkey, you are the Buddha, no matter how great my ability is, I can't escape from your palm. As soon as you scream, don't I just run? ”
"Yo yo yo, how nice it is for you to listen to what he said. How is Qingwen at your place, are you still obedient? ”
"It's good, obedient, it's just that I don't eat and live well there, and I have wronged her."
"No matter how bad it is, it's not much worse, and the steamed buns are still available. A maid can eat steamed buns all of a sudden, and it is not considered to have wronged her. ”
That doesn't seem to be true.
"Thank you Ancestor for the reward, I am also planning to thank Ancestor."
"Mandarin ducks, you all go down."
Seeing that the old ancestor sent all the maids away, Jia Rui knew that the old ancestor had come to get down to business.
"Brother Rui, I won't hide it from you. This time, I asked Daiyu about the things in Yangzhou and Jinling, and she told me everything. ”
"I also know what your eldest master and Brother Lian have done. If you hadn't gone this time, things might have turned out like this. That's why I gave Qingwen to you. ”
"I know people are going to be upset with you, but you don't have to be afraid of them. As long as I am for a day, no one will dare to do anything to you. Although I am old, I am not confused, and I know who is good and who is not good. ”
Old lady, even if you are gone, I am not afraid of them.
In my eyes, they are paper tigers.
"Thank you, Ancestor, for your support."
The old ancestor took a sip of tea and paused for a moment, as if organizing the language.
"Brother Rui, have you heard about the provincial villa?"
"I heard."
"Everybody is rushing to do this errand, have you heard about it?"
"I've heard of some, but it's all hearsay, and I don't know if it's true or not."
"Hmph, I'll tell you, it's all true. They all thought it was a piece of fat, and they all wanted to take a bite. ”
What are you telling me all this for?
Jia Rui felt that something was wrong.
However, he didn't know the ancestor's intentions yet, and he couldn't talk casually at this time, so he waited quietly.
"Since the emperor has issued an order, the provincial villa has to be repaired. In the early years, it wasn't a big deal. ”
"But now it's different from previous years, our house looks full of flowers, but it's just an empty shelf, and there is not much money."
Others don't believe this, but I believe it.
"Therefore, it is not easy to build this provincial villa. We don't have much to come up with. ”
"That's it, everyone is still thinking about making a fortune, and even I am worried."
"But what about worrying? Things have to be done. That's why I thought of you. ”
Oh no, that's Murphy's Law, what you're afraid of.
This old lady is so cunning, no wonder she gave Qingwen to me, it turned out that she was waiting for me here with a beautiful woman.
"The old ancestor means ......."
"Let you preside over the construction of the provincial villa."
Sure enough, it was this unlucky errand.
If you go along with those people, you will inevitably cut corners and make them shoddy.
If in the future, when Yuanchun is provincial, which wall suddenly arrives, the house collapses, and the concubine is disturbed, he will probably have to wait for the emperor to cut off his head.
It's just that there is no accident, it's just that Jia Yuanchun is not satisfied, and he has to walk around without eating.
If others get cheap, it's fine, so I have to carry the black pot.
If you follow the rules and get in the way of their wealth, you will inevitably offend those people. One by one, they are all masters in the house, and they can't wait to line up to kill me.
"Ancestor, this is not appropriate, one is that I am still young and have no prestige. The second is that there are people in the east and west. ”
"The eldest master, the second master, Brother Zhen, the second brother Lian, Brother Rong, and ......."
"Shut up, don't play dumb with me."
The Old Ancestor paused and sighed.
"Brother Rui, it's not like I forced you. Tell me in your own conscience, which of them is capable of doing serious things? ”
"Although your second master is serious, he has an errand in the yamen. Besides, if he really lets him preside, can he pick it up? ”
"The rest of you, you don't know their virtues? I'm afraid that before the villa is built, the silver will be poured out by them. ”
"This matter is very important, there is no room for error, if it weren't for the fact that there is no one, I can give up my face to you?"
"But I still have to do a scientific ......."
"What is the purpose of the scientific expedition, it's just to be an official. Next year, you should take the test, and if you get in, you will be better, and you don't have to worry if you can't pass the test. ”
"Even Lai Shangrong, a minion, can get him a magistrate to do, can he still be worse for you? As long as you get this matter done for me, I'll get you a magistrate when the time comes. ”
The old lady is really domineering, but she really has this ability.
"Don't talk about this or that, it's up to you. As long as you do it for me, I won't treat you badly. ”
Jia Rui quickly calculated in his heart.
This errand seems to be unavoidable, although it is very troublesome, but it is not impossible to avoid risks. As long as it's planned, it's not a big deal.
If you succeed, you will be able to get strong support from your ancestors in the future.
It's okay to be an official, but the main thing is to be able to set up the guard of Jiajiaying.
If you don't have the support of your ancestors, you have money, and it's not easy to restore the guard.
"Okay, since the old ancestor can afford me, I'll take this errand."
"But I have one condition."
"Say."
"The construction of the provincial villa is up to me, and the house is only waiting for the final acceptance, and other masters cannot interfere."
The old lady laughed.
"Brother Rui, I'll be waiting for your words. Let's take a closer look. ”
