Coming out of Li Yan's house, he passed in front of the servant's house, and when he was about to turn out, he saw an old man in the stable in the south courtyard silently brushing the horse's back. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Originally, it was just a very ordinary thing, but when Jia Qing saw this person, he stepped forward to say hello.

"He, Master Jiao, where are the horses?"

The old man, who was doing his work silently, turned around when he heard this.

He was very old, with sparse white hair, a furrow and a dark complexion.

"It turned out to be Brother Qing."

He replied nonchalantly, as if he had just seen a cat and a dog on the side of the street......

Jia Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, ignored his disrespect, and continued to talk: "The housekeeper and concierge are scattering money, why don't you go?" With your old body and bones, others will definitely not be able to rob you, so you will have to beat a few catties of wine to eat when the time comes? ”

It's not Jia Qing who mocks people, although this Jiao Da is not old, but his body bones are not bad when he sees it, and he doesn't know how to exercise it.

Xu is Jia Qing took an honorific title and his attitude was obedient, which moved him, and he finally had a little expression on his face, but he still turned to Jia Qing sideways and said: "It's old, it's not as good as it was back then." ”

"How was it back then?" Jia Qing raised his voice.

"Back then, ......, hey, you didn't understand it."

Jia Qing: "......"

Jia Qing tried to calm down his mood, and said, "Why have you been brushing all the time, this horse is already so clean?" ”

Indeed, Jiao Da has never stopped the work in his hands, and the tethered horse has not known how many times he has brushed it, and Jia Qing feels pain for it......

"What do you know, you only know how to lead the horse when you need to use it on weekdays, and you never know how to cherish it, and it doesn't matter if the horse is dirty and smelly.

We have to do these things. ”

Jia Qing said, with your attitude, it is also an outlier to be able to live for such an old age in Ningguo Mansion.

It's so hard to communicate!

Jia Qing shook his head and was about to leave, but he listened to Jiao Da and explain faintly: "The horse's skin is thick, if it is not often brushed clean and transparent, the horse will be easy to get sick."

In the past, when I was on the battlefield, I couldn't rely on anything, the only thing I could rely on was my own horse.

Therefore, when we have to spare time, we drink and brush horses, and take care of them better than ourselves.

Already used to ......"

Hearing these words, Jia Qing stopped and pondered silently.

Although Jiao Da's words are very light, they reflect some historical fragments of the era when Jiafu was founded.

Speaking of which, aside from being a master and servant. Jiao Da is the person with the highest rank in the Jia family!

is a generation higher than Jia's mother, he is the ancestor of Jia Qing, the first generation of soldiers under Jia Yan, the Duke of Ningguo, and even saved Jia Yan's life.

Therefore, he thought that his status in Ning Guofu was different from others.

However, a very cruel reality is that Jia Yan's fifth-generation great-great-grandsons have all grown up, and the ancestral affection has long faded.

Although the people in the house still respect him on the surface, they actually put him in their eyes, and there is no one.

Not all of us are ungrateful, and we really haven't experienced those things. is only based on family tradition, at most people are polite to him.

If you really respect him as an ancestor, it is not realistic.

No wonder, don't look at Jiao Da quietly now, when he drinks some wine, his temper rises, who he doesn't dare to scold?

Perhaps, he was also indignant at the gap between ideals and reality, so he spilled it out with the strength of wine.

But what's the use? In the original book, since he scolded Lai Sheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and others heartily, he has never appeared again......

"Has Mrs. Jiao ever thought about going out of the house to live his own little life?" Jia Qing asked suddenly.

Jiao Da was stunned, turned his head, looked at Jia Qing again, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Qing'er is trying to drive me out of the house?" ”

Jia Qing hurriedly explained: "What did Master Jiao say, how could the kid be." I was thinking that Mrs. Jiao was old, and he had a special honor in our Ningguo Mansion, so he didn't have to do these chores in the mansion anymore.

The kid can call the shots, buy a house property outside for Mrs. Jiao, and then ask someone to take care of your old age, which can be regarded as letting you live for a long time.

Do you think that's good? ”

Jiao Da had no children or daughters in his life, and he was alone. Therefore, Jia Qing's suggestion can be regarded as a good home for Jiao Da. Otherwise, with his temper and mentality, in Ning Guofu, sooner or later there will be trouble.

After hearing Jia Qing's meaning clearly, Jiao Da's vigilant mind fell.

"Thank you for the kindness of the second master, Jiao Da and my generation have been in this mansion for almost seventy years, and they have long been used to life here.

When I am old, I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to be in the house and watch the foundation of the grandfather......"

To be honest, Jiao Da's last sentence was particularly inappropriate. But Jia Qing didn't mind, empathy, it was normal for Jiao Da to have such thoughts.

Let's find a way to deal with this later.

Fortunately, in this life, without Jia Zhen, he was replaced by him to dominate Ning Guofu. Come to think of it, Jiao Da shouldn't shake out those words of "earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods" again.

If that's the case, it's not a big deal to keep him in the house and take care of it.

……

At the east end of Ningguofu Street, Jia Yun finally saw the festival gift that Jia Qing had prepared for him.

In a fully decorated courtyard, Jia Yun looked at the courtyard with emotion, several pots of delicately trimmed camellia and two pots of osmanthus hanging with ribbons in front of the three main houses on the corridor......

"This is the courtyard that the second master personally bought from a merchant a month ago.

The second master said that although this yard is small, these main houses are still renovated and atmospheric, and the structure is also very exquisite, and there is a small garden at the back, which is suitable for the second master Yun Your future main house.

Later, he asked us to reorganize and modify all places, and removed some flowers and plants from the yard of the second master as decoration, and finally it became like this. ”

Next to him, Li Yan, who brought Jia Yun over, explained. Hearing this, Jia Yun's expression became more and more complex.

In addition to the three main houses in the front, there are several ear rooms on each side of this courtyard, and the courtyard in the middle is six or seven zhang long and wide. However, as Li Yan said, it was a merchant's residence and was carefully decorated, so it was very rich.

At least, it's much, much stronger than his old mansion, the three broken rooms on the back porch!

Among the many clansmen of the Jia family, there are not many people who can live in such a good house. Moreover, most of those were the properties purchased by the two ancestors of the Jia family when they were alive, and what they later shared was regarded as ancestral business.

But the mansion that Jia Qing gave him belonged to him Jia Yun, and it was unique to an ordinary child of the Jia clan who was not yet crowned!

Since then, he has completely bid farewell to the life of rootless duckweed and has become a human being. This chic and exquisite house is the most powerful proof of this.

"Please Brother Li thank the second uncle on my behalf, Yun has nothing to repay, I can only be more diligent and self-denying in the future, and do my best for the cause of the second master, and then die. Fang lives up to the second master's kindness to me! ”

After a long time, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze from looking around, and Jia Yun said in a deep voice to Li Yan.

Li Yan was also in a complicated mood at this time. Although Jia Qing gave him and Wang Shun a good class room, they were also very satisfied.

However, looking at this mansion that became more and more exquisite under his personal supervision, he still couldn't help but feel envious.

I don't know when, the second master can also give me such a house......

This is a status symbol!

Suppressing the floating state of mind, Li Yan continued: "The second master said that after the second master Yun comes back, he can make people move in.

Originally, the second master wanted to transfer a few maids and wives from the house, but in order to prevent the second master Yun from not being able to move in the future, he dispelled the idea. I bought two girls from white families outside alone and came in to be maids.

The second master said, if it is not enough, ask the second master Yun to supplement it yourself. ”

Jia Yun's expression became more and more moved, and while thanking Jia Qing again, Li Yan beckoned him into the main house to visit......
