The courtyard of Jia Zhen in Ningguo Mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After Jia Zhen and You Shi had lunch together, after the girls cleaned up the dishes, Jia Zhen asked You Shi, "Do you know the soap that has been making a lot of noise outside recently?" ”

You Shi didn't know why, but he replied: "I know, I heard that the cleaning effect is very good, and I also heard what the girls said, but I haven't used it." Why do you ask this? ”

Jia Zhen sneered and said, "You are still the eldest sister-in-law, I heard that this soap was made by the second brother, but you don't know anything." ”

You Shi was surprised: "Second brother got it? It can't be, right? ”

Jia Zhen secretly hated in his heart, Jia Qing concealed it so well, if he hadn't sent someone to pay attention to Jia Qing's movements, he happened to know what kind of soap Jia Qing had made in his yard, and he also gave a lot of it to the sisters at home, and he was also kept in the dark.

To say that he didn't care at first, what is it worth for a child to get a gadget? It's just that a few "Shen's soap shops" have recently opened in the capital, and I heard that they are very popular, so I asked someone to buy a piece, and I was sure that this was what Jia Qing was tinkering with in the yard some time ago.

Jia Zhen doesn't think that this thing can make much money, after all, this soap has only appeared on the market now, and the popularity is not enough, Jia Zhen is obviously not a person with business vision, and he doesn't bother to think about it. It's just that Jia Qing hid this from everyone, which made him very suspicious of Jia Qing's intentions.

This cousin is a little incomprehensible, which makes him feel very bad!

So Jia Zhen sneered again: "Impossible? The sisters in the family have been using it for a few months, can they still have a vacation? Ask what you know! ”

When You heard Jia Zhen say this, he believed it a little. Jia Qing really likes to tinker with some strange things in the yard, and he doesn't want to make good things. Seeing that Jia Zhen's face was not very good-looking, he understood what was going on after a little thought.

She deliberately spoke for Jia Qing and said, "It's just a child's thing, and it's worth asking the uncle personally?" Why don't you call the second uncle to ask, don't you understand everything? Why bother with this speculation here. ”

Jia Zhen was dissatisfied: "What's the use of calling and asking? The second brother is a thief, and now he has his father's love, I don't think he will be honest. I don't want to play tricks with him, I have my own way to make him take the initiative to explain! ”

You Shi heard Jia Zhen's dissatisfaction with Jia Qing from Jia Zhen's words, and was a little worried, Jia Qing is only so old now, and it must be Jia Qing who suffers in the end when the brothers are not in harmony.

But she can't help Jia Qing anything, saying good things to him is already her greatest ability, and in front of Jia Zhen, she doesn't have much right to speak.

……

After the small year, it is time to celebrate the new year in a blink of an eye.

For a family like Jiafu, the New Year is definitely not a simple matter! The original book of the Red Mansion has a clear introduction to the heavy and luxurious New Year in Jiafu.

Ning Rong and the two mansions had already begun to prepare for the New Year before the new year. In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, all those who had orders and officials from Jia's mother to the body of Jia Mansion entered the palace in eight large sedan chairs to congratulate them, and after receiving the palace banquet, they returned to Ningguo Mansion to worship their ancestors.

Ancestor worship is a family's top priority, on this day, all the children of the Jia family in Beijing, all gathered in the Jia clan ancestral hall in Ningguo Mansion to participate in the ancestor worship.

At this time, it shows that there are many children of the Jia family. When visiting the ancestors, from the five halls outside the Jia family ancestral hall, three hugging the figures kneeling together, the crows were silent, overlapping, and there was no gap to find it.

After the ceremony, everyone went to Jia's mother to pay homage, a group of men and a group of women, in an orderly manner, which means to worship the most venerable.

By the time all the etiquette had come to an end, it was already evening, and then it was time for the family feast.

Those who were far away from the family left early, and Jia's mother did not have a banquet in Ningguo Mansion at this time in previous years, but this time she rarely stayed. When Jia Zheng and the others saw that Jia's mother stayed, they didn't dare to leave without permission, so they also stayed together.

In this way, You Shi and Qin Keqing couldn't help but be careful and serve Jia's mother.

It is said that it is a family banquet, and it is naturally impossible for Jia Mu and other masters of the two mansions to have a banquet with the ordinary children of the Jia family outside, and a separate banquet was set up in the inner courtyard, which was divided into two tables, separated by a screen in the middle, and a stage in front. Jia's mother and the sisters in the family have a table, and Jia Jing and other male brothers in the family have a table.

Of course, Jia Baoyu is a female dependent at this time!

In fact, the banquet of the big family is quite boring, it is nothing more than drinking and watching a play.

The first play is "Single Knife Meeting", which tells the story of Guan Yu going to Lusu's banquet alone and then returning with his whole body. Everyone has seen it many times, and they are not very interested. But by the time the second play started, most people were slowly sitting up straight.

On Jia's mother's side, Jia's mother, who watched it for a while, said to Mrs. Wang next to her: "Well, this "Wangjiang Pavilion" is better than the previous "Single Knife Meeting", especially the expressiveness of Hua Dan's performance, which performed Tan Jier's talent and wit. ”

Mrs. Wang responded: "What the old lady said is that this Hua Dan is acting well, but why haven't I seen it before?" Saying that, Mrs. Wang looked at You Shi on the side.

Seeing this, Lai Shengjia, who was standing next to him, explained: "Back to the old lady, Mrs., that's it. The name of Hua Dan on this stage is Liu Xianglian, who was also the son of everyone, but later the family declined. He is also a free-spirited person, and he doesn't want to revitalize the family, and prefers to make friends with the three religions and nine streams on the rivers and lakes.

It is also strange to say that he can know a thing or two from the prince and grandson to the peddler and pawn in Beijing...... The reason is that Liu Xianglian not only has a good appearance, but also has a lot of research in opera, and is also willing to sing on stage on various occasions.

When our uncle went to invite the troupe, he happened to meet him, so he invited him as well. Now it seems that there is no mistake. ”

Jia Muqi said: "Listening to what you say, this Hua Dan is still a man?" How could he be so handsome, playing this Tan Ji'er is even more gorgeous than a woman. ”

You Shi smiled on the side: "That's why he is so popular among the princes and grandsons of Beijing." ”

……

"You said this Hua Dan is Liu Xianglian?"

On the other side of the screen, Jia Qing looked at Jia Rong in surprise and asked.

Jia Rong was also surprised, and asked rhetorically, "Could it be that the second uncle recognizes him?" ”

The second uncle is only eight years old, how can he know Liu Xianglian?

Jia Qing shook his head and didn't pay any attention to Jia Rong. He was thinking, this Liu Xianglian is a person who has nothing to worry about, and is proficient in martial arts, if he can keep it under the account, it will be a big help.

Just as Jia Qing was thinking about how to approach Liu Xianglian, Jia Zhen suddenly spoke: "Second brother, I heard that you made a thing that is still being sold in Beijing?" ”

Jia Qing didn't expect Jia Zhen to ask him this question in front of everyone, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Jia Zhen continued to ask, "Could it be that there is anything that can't be said in it?" If you want to come here as a family, there's nothing taboo about it, right? ”

Although Jia Qing didn't know Jia Zhen's intentions for a while, he gave the soap to his sisters first, so he didn't think about hiding it, anyway, now that the wood is in the boat, what does it matter if they know? So he said: "Back to the big brother, there is indeed such a thing." ”

Jia Zheng and the others were also attracted to attention at this time, and only listened to Jia Zhengdao: "Oh? The virtuous nephew is not good at studying, and he still goes to study the affairs of businessmen? ”

"Back to the second uncle, my nephew doesn't have the heart to study, but in his spare time, he occasionally came up with this thing."

Jia Zhen looked at his father at this time, and saw that Jia Jing really frowned, and he had a bottom in his heart, he thought that Jia Qing really didn't tell anyone about it.

But he didn't know that Jia Jing just didn't want to discuss this issue on this occasion, he felt that this would hinder Jia Qing's reputation.

"Since the second brother can make money by making this thing, why don't you give it to the family but cheapen the Shen family?"

Although there is no shortage of silver in the current Ning Guofu, anyone who knows that his son has good things that are not given to him but cheap, and outsiders are afraid that they will have ideas in their hearts, and Jia Zhen just wants to make Jia Jing feel some dissatisfaction.

What's more, if everyone can save private business for the children of a big feudal family, then where is the majesty of the parents? If you encounter this kind of serious thing, you can even expel yourself from the family! Although Jia Zhen knew that it was impossible to expel Jia Qing from the family, as long as Jia Jing's love for Jia Qing could be reduced, it would not affect him.

Jia Qing knew that Jia Zhen felt that he was threatening him and fought back. It's just that the strength of this counterattack is too weak, neither Jia Jing nor Jia Zheng will care about this kind of thing, these typical powerful people will not pay attention to businessmen, nor will they feel that doing business can have any effect, they only care about learning and excelling, and they will enter the prime minister and hold great power!

Even if he knew that Jia Qing had this tendency, he would only stop it and let him not delay his studies. And Jia Qing will not do anything in this matter, so it is destined that this contradiction will not be big.

The key is that Jia Qing and Jia Jing are angry about this matter!

Jia Qing figured this out, and it was easy to say, so he said: "The eldest brother didn't know anything, and the younger brother didn't know how useful that thing was, so he only sent some to the sisters at home after making it, but then the news spread to Boss Shen somehow, and he found the younger brother and said that he was willing to pay five thousand taels of silver to buy the recipe of the younger brother...... The younger brother thought about it, anyway, it was useless for me to take it, so I sold it to him, and the younger brother really didn't know how useful that thing was. Jia Qing also deliberately didn't mention that he told Jia Jing about it.

At this time, Jia Yu said on the side: "In the end, it is the son of my Jia family, and the one surnamed Shen does not dare to expire, knowing that he will take out five thousand taels of silver to trade." ”

Jia Yu's words represent the mainstream thinking of those who don't know the true value of soap!

Or because Jia Lian often deals with outsiders and knows a little about the market, he said to Jia Qing: "It turns out that Shen's soap is actually the handiwork of the second brother?" It is indeed a loss to sell it for 5,000 taels of silver, and if the second brother gives it to me, I can also give the second brother a price of no less than 5,000 taels. ”

Jia Qing said innocently: "Isn't that little brother young and ignorant, I would have given it to the second brother of the chain if I knew it." ”

Jia Zheng was the most reluctant to listen to these things, and said: "Since the Shen family bought Fangzi, don't worry about this matter, and it has nothing to do with us how much money he makes." There is only one point, Brother Qing needs to remember, you get some silver taels, you must not take them out for pleasure and waste your studies! It is not allowed to think that doing business can be a little bit of a small profit. ”

It can be seen that Jia Zheng is mentioning Jia Qing as his junior, whether it is right or not, he always cares, and Jia Qing also replied respectfully: "Thank you for the teachings of the second uncle, the nephew will not, it is the silver that is available, and the nephew is also ready to save it for future study tours." ”

Jia Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

Jia Zhen wanted to say something, and Jia Jing made the final closing statement: "Okay, there is no need to bother to discuss some small things, let's watch the next play." ”

Although it was a trivial matter, seeing that Jia Jing was not angry at all, Jia Zhen still couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, turned many thoughts in her heart, and bowed her head silently.
