Chapter 398: The Xue Family's New House
The carriage went around to the Xue family's new house, and as soon as Jia Qing got out of the car, he saw a fat body shoot back to the courtyard quickly.
Jia Qing smiled faintly, this Xue Da fool is still hiding from him......
With the relationship between the two families of Jia Xue, there is no need to enter the door after passing the word, so Jia Qing directly took Wang Shun into the door.
The Xue family's house is not big, it is a two-entry house. However, it was originally only taken to mean that it was close to Jiafu, and the Xue family didn't care about its spaciousness......
However, it is indeed an elegant place to live.
Putting Wang Shun in the outer courtyard, Jia Qing stepped on the steps into the back house alone, and then saw Aunt Xue and the maid catch up in person.
"I've seen my aunt."
"My son, on such a cold day, why did you come here alone, and you didn't let a few maids and women wait for you."
Jia Qing said with a smile: "My aunt sees me as too delicate, my health is fine, and this day is starting to warm up, let alone getting in the way." ”
"Nonsense, no matter how good your body is, you can't stand the wind. How old are you, don't take care of it now, and when you reach your aunt's age, you'll know it's amazing. ”
Aunt Xue chattered, and then instructed her maids Tongxi and Tonggui to carry Jia Qing inside.
Jia Qing couldn't refuse, so he had to rely on it.
When he arrived at Aunt Xue's house, Jia Qing was let go by two enthusiastic maids. Seeing Jia Qing looking around, Aunt Xue smiled and said, "It's the first time you've come here, but my house is small and simple, don't dislike it." ”
Jia Qingdao: "What did my aunt say, if my aunt is humble here, then there will be no good house in the world." ”
Indeed, although the Xue family is not a mansion, it does not have anything to do with the word shabby.
While the maid poured tea and left, Jia Qingzhi said straightforwardly: "Auntie, you helped me buy so many stones last time, and today I came to thank my aunt." ”
Aunt Xue smiled: "It's just a gesture, it should be like this between relatives, where is it worth you to run for this in person." ”
"It's a lot of work for my aunt, but for me, it's a big deal.
By the way, here is the wages for the workers, and I ask my aunt to accept it. ”
"Didn't I say it, since this bit of silver was paid back by Auntie's house, you still took it as a serious matter and sent this to me."
Aunt Xue didn't seem to care about the silver at all, and she didn't look at the box that Jia Qing pushed over, she only looked at Jia Qingdao with a smile.
"Auntie, don't postpone it any longer, it's what was already said......"
Hearing Jia Qing say this, Aunt Xue didn't say more, picked up the wooden box, opened it and looked at it. A stack of silver tickets with a finger thick, and I don't know how many, Aunt Xue asked, "What is the ...... here?" ”
Jia Qing smiled: "There are only 30,000 taels of silver in it......
At that moment, Jia Qing clearly saw the smile in Aunt Xue's eyes even more, but he heard her dissatisfied: "Why is there a few thousand taels of silver more?" ”
Jia Qingdao: "I know that my aunt thinks about me and is dedicated to saving me money, but those boatmen and coachmen have worked hard to transport such heavy items to Beijing, and they can't let them work in vain without paying them, so the extra little silver is also a little bit of my heart." ”
"What wages are not paid, but they are all their own ships, and they are put in vain, so it's better to take them out and use them, this really doesn't need to be counted as silver......."
"Auntie really needless to say, even if this is the case, I know that my aunt's family is at a loss, and I naturally remember my aunt's feelings......
Why did my aunt be polite to me for a mere two or three thousand taels of silver? Those were just the silver of the people below, and I only owe my aunt the affection, is it possible that my aunt still owes me the affection of the people below? ”
"You, you, your heart is too real...... Well, in that case, my aunt is attached to you. Aunt Xue sighed, and then smiled.
"Love my brother......"
As soon as Jia Qing finished talking about this, he heard a familiar voice outside the door.
Jia Qing stood up, looked at the girl who appeared at the door and said, "It's Sister Xiangyun, are you here to play with Sister Bao?" ”
Shi Xiangyun jumped directly into the house, greeted Aunt Xue first, and then said to Jia Qing: "Yes, tomorrow is Sister Bao's birthday, I'll come over to see what Sister Bao has prepared." Sister Bibao is hateful, she doesn't show any wind at all, and she is angry with me. ”
Jia Qing smiled: "Then you won't be coquettish, Sister Bao is so good, if you go to be coquettish, maybe she will promise to show you, maybe she can let you taste it first......"
When Xiangyun heard this, he felt reasonable, and ran to Baochai, who had just walked in the door, took her arm and began to shake, and said: "Sister Bao, you can show me first, you see, even Brother Ai has said, you let me see it first......"
Jia Qing listened to it and laughed at it. In fact, if Shi Xiangyun speaks slowly, she can clearly explain "love" and "two", but she is a little anxious and easy to calm down to speak, so she will not be able to say "love" and "two" clearly, which makes people laugh.
"Don't shake it, you're shaking your head...... You just hear your brother so clearly? Besides, those things will be done tomorrow, so what are you looking at in a panic today? It's just something raw, something pretty, not to mention eating......"
Shi Xiangyun's coquettishness did not play a practical role, and Baochai still refused her request with a smile.
"Hmph......" Seeing that Baochai insisted on principles, Xiangyun snorted unhappily and sat down on the chair.
Aunt Xue on the side said: "I forgot to tell you, tomorrow happens to be your sister's birthday, and I will invite you to come over at that time, and your sister Bao and I will prepare good wine for you." ”
Jia Qing smiled: "This is natural, I will definitely come over early tomorrow and kowtow to Sister Bao." ”
When Aunt Xue heard this, she smiled more and more happily, and said again and again: "It's noon, you all stay here to eat." ”
Jia Qing remembered that there was something in his heart, so he couldn't stay long, so he smiled and said, "Since tomorrow is Sister Bao's day, let's come back tomorrow." If you eat the food and wine today, tomorrow will be less fresh, so why not wait until tomorrow to be together, wouldn't you be happy?
My aunt has to prepare something delicious, and I have a big appetite, and if I don't have enough to eat, I will stay at my aunt's house tomorrow. ”
"Good, good...... In that case, how many mothers-in-law shall I ask to send you back? ”
When Aunt Xue saw Shi Xiangyun's demeanor, she knew that she was going to follow Jia Qing, so she said.
"Don't be so troublesome, I'll bring someone here, Sister Xiangyun, I will personally send her to the old lady, aunt don't have to worry about her."
"It's fine."
……
"This is sent by Brother Qing?"
Sending Jia Qing out of the door and coming back, Baochai saw her mother take out a box and count the silver tickets inside, so she asked.
"Hmm." Aunt Xue nodded, and quickly counted the number.
"How much?"
"Thirty thousand taels of silver."
Baochai was puzzled: "Didn't you say that it was 26,000 taels of silver?" ”
Aunt Xue smiled: "He insisted on not letting us suffer, so he gave more, and he didn't follow what I said." He also said that he knew that we had suffered a loss, and remembered our feelings......
What a sensible and good boy who can do the right thing. ”
Xue Baochai nodded silently. Secret Dao: The rumors are true, although Jia Qing is young, he does things more properly than 10,000 people, and no one can fool him......
But isn't it exactly, this transaction, counting all the costs, they are actually just holding the attitude of not making money at the price given, and the loss is exactly the fare of a boat of a few hundred taels of silver for a round trip. Six boats, which is almost more than two thousand taels of silver, and now that Jia Qing is doing this, doesn't it mean that although he has not handled these things, he is not ignorant of the market inside......
Thinking about what he has seen and heard in the past six months, Xue Baochai also has to sigh that a person's achievements are really not just luck and luck!
