"Where's Sister Bao?"

Aunt Xue's face darkened, and she was about to speak, but it happened that Xue Baochai came over.

"Brother Qing is here." Xue Baochai gave a salute.

Jia Qing hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, and when Xue Baochai greeted her mother, she took the opportunity to sit next to the tea table.

"I heard that your eldest sister in the house became a mother today, why do you have time to come over here?"

Xue Baochai asked.

Jia Qingdao said: "There is something I want to ask my aunt's family for help." ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that my aunt's family used to provide stones for the palace, because we want to renovate the garden in the house, and we need to use a lot of stones, so I want to ask my aunt to show me."

Jia Qing didn't spare the bend and directly explained the intention.

Aunt Xue said: "This is true, but now these transactions are in Nanjing, thousands of miles away from here." ”

Jia Qing said with a smile: "That's okay, the garden scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is better than that in the north, and I don't want those ordinary stones that build walls and pave the ground, as long as those rare and precious rockeries and strange stones are used for decoration, as long as there are good ones, they can be loaded on a boat, and it won't cost much!"

It's just that my aunt's family doesn't have it, so I know that there is, and I will give the little nephew some guidance, and the little nephew will be grateful. ”

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "It's not difficult to do this, whether I have it at home, it's just no, it's so easy for you to ask me for something, no matter what, I have to do it for you, otherwise you should feel that your aunt is useless more and more."

I'll send someone back when I get back, and let the old man at home help you get it. It's a pity that your brother Xue is not here, otherwise let him personally go and help you get it. That's good.

By the way, how much are you going to want? ”

"Auntie said with a smile, who doesn't know what aunt can do?

As for how much you want, as long as it is strange, the more the merrier. ”

Aunt Xue's mother and daughter were puzzled, and Xue Baochai said: "There is also a fixed number of things needed to repair the garden, you want so many stones, don't you have other land?" ”

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Sister Bao is really smart, and she was seen through by you at once, sister!" ”

Xue Baochai was stunned, obviously unable to fully adapt to Jia Qing's way of speaking, and he was speechless.

Aunt Xue laughed and said: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll ask them to count and build it first, if it's not enough, my family still knows a few of them, and then buy them from other families." ”

Jia Qing got up and thanked him: "In this way, it will be more troublesome for my aunt to bother." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother."

"About the cost ......"

"The stone is worth a few dollars, and my aunt's family still has this little money, it's rare for you to beg me, and my aunt can still collect your money, no need to bother, no need to bother." Aunt Xue said with a straight smile.

Stones are not valuable, but rare stones are. If you pull a boat so far, I'm afraid you'll have to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver!

It is impossible for Aunt Xue not to know. Although it may be polite words, it can be said that it is loveful to be able to promise to help, and to be able to say so.

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Although my aunt is generous and refuses to earn her nephew's money, the family and the guys in the store have to pay their salaries.

It doesn't make sense to spread it. ”

Aunt Xue didn't even say no, Jia Qing said: "Auntie is like this, I don't dare to bother my aunt in the future." ”

Xue Baochai listened and said, "Mom, let's hear my brother clearly." He is also a person with status, and his mother only treats him as a child and does not take any money from him. When others hear it, they won't feel that their mother is loving, but they say that he is taking advantage of his relatives, and it is not good for his reputation to spread it!

If Mom really feels sorry for him, she has to check it, don't let the people below be shoddy, just fool him, this is really painful!

In this way, even if he annoys others to do things in the future, people will not worry about losses. ”

Jia Qing looked sideways, this woman should not be underestimated, she can tell this truth, and she can also take care of the faces of both parties, among these girls that Jia Qing has seen, I am afraid that only she can have such a ability to do things.

Sure enough, Aunt Xue said, "I think it's wrong...... So, as you say. ”

Jia Qingdao said: "Then I'll send the silver to my aunt when I turn around......"

Xue Baochai said: "You are confused again, you refuse to let us suffer, you have to settle accounts, this is also right."

It's just that you don't have to do everything in a business-like way. Could it be that in order to help you once, even the affection of relatives can't be abandoned?

The one who is sure is also determined. For it was to bind the two parties and not to break the contract.

Aren't the two of us even losing this bit of credit? You are the same as your mother, just to be polite, if we help you once and have to collect the money in advance, wouldn't it be underestimated? ”

Well, you win!

Jia Qingxin said, and only said in his mouth: "My sister is right, everything is ...... to listen to my sister."

Coming out of Lixiangyuan, Jia Qingzhi thought: If you marry this girl home, you will have no worries in the back house!

Originally, Aunt Xue still had to leave dinner, but Jia Qingtui said that she still had something to deal with, so it was easy to resign.

I wanted to go back to the house directly, but I didn't see Qingwen for a few days, and it was close, so I turned around and entered the side courtyard of the east compound of Rongguo Mansion.

"The second master is here!"

Jia Qing entered the courtyard and didn't see Qingwen, only the little girl who dozed off last time.

"Where's your sister Qingwen?"

"It's out."

Jia Qing probably went to play with Sanchun and others, but he didn't enter the house, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you fall asleep this time?" ”

The little maid said embarrassedly: "That's it......"

Jia Qing shook his head and was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and asked, "Is there anything going on in the mansion these days?" ”

The little maid said, "Things? It's just that the eldest lady is a mother, and other than that, there's nothing.

Oh, and Miss Lin is sick again! ”

Maybe the little girl couldn't figure out how Lin Daiyu could get sick so easily, and her immature voice had an exclamatory tone.

Jia Qing then remembered that every time Lin Daiyu came to this season, it was already the norm to be sick.

After thinking about it, I still thought it would be good to go and see her.

……

"Zijuan, who's coming?"

As soon as Jia Qing arrived in Daiyu's room, he had just spoken a few words to Zijuan, and he heard Daiyu's weak voice coming from inside.

No more tricky past.

Seeing Jia Qing walking inside, Zijuan deliberately said behind her: "No one, the old lady sent someone to ask if you have taken medicine." I just returned to you to eat, and he went back. ”

Daiyu didn't doubt him, and leaned back on the soft couch.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a slender figure walking over, and it didn't look like a maid and a woman, so I looked at it and saw the person clearly.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard that my sister is sick, come and see you."

Daiyu was silent, and said for a while: "You are a busy person, I didn't expect that I was sick, you are not busy, and you still have time to come over here." ”

After saying these two words, I felt that my throat was not very comfortable, and I reached out to get a few soup bowls.

When Jia Qing saw it, he hurriedly picked it up, tasted it warm, and did not avoid suspicion, stepped forward to help Daiyu's delicate body, and gently fed her a bite.

Daiyu snuggled silently, and when Jia Qing put down the medicine bowl and looked back, he realized that Daiyu had silently shed two lines of tears.

Jia Qing hurriedly said: "Why is my sister crying?" ”

Daiyu cried more and more, and choked up: "I know that my health is not good, and at this time of year, I can't leave the house for most of the day.

If you think of me for a while, come and look at me, but unfortunately I can only lie on the bed and cannot laugh with you.

Besides, you treat me so carelessly, even if you have a bowl of medicine, I am afraid that I will not be able to pick it up, and I am afraid that it will be hot or cold. When they came to see me, they served me once, but after three or two times, they got bored.

Well, I'd rather you didn't think about it. ”

Jia Qing knew that half of Daiyu complained that he didn't come to see her for the first time, and the other half was conscious of her pain.

Jia Qing has not experienced serious illness and pain, and he can't quite appreciate the emotions of people in illness, just looking at Daiyu's demeanor, he also hates this illness for a long time, but unfortunately, he is helpless.

Seeing Daiyu lying on the quilt crying, Jia Qing reached out and gently followed her thin back to relieve her emotions.

Zijuan came in with a tea tray, saw Jia Qing comforting her young lady, took off the teacup, put it aside, and exited the door.
