Brother 0167 Baochai and Keqing (3)
Jia Yun and the others muttered together for a while, and then made a decision. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info thinks it's still Jia Lian's method is more stable.
You Jia Baoyu have always been out of tune. Now he is beguiling everyone to leave, just to vent his personal anger. If you don't have a house, you will go back like this, even if someone else leads the troops in the future, you will also want to come back.
Besides, Jia Min won't necessarily let them go. So, several people clearly told Baoyu that they would not go back.
So it's settled. Baoyu, Xue Pan, Jia Rong and Jia Huan went back.
After eating, Jia Min asked Wu Hongmei to invite Baochai and Qin Keqing, saying that she wanted them to see a new thing.
When the two arrived, there were already many people there watching the excitement.
I saw Liu Cheng sitting on a small bench, with an iron pot in front of him, a coal fire burning underneath, and a handle in one hand, shaking back and forth. With a shake, the tin can spun back and forth on the fire.
In a bamboo basket next to it, there is some corn. On top of the corn, there was a large cloth bag.
"Come on, I'll show you something good, this mechanism is called a popcorn machine. Do you see this bud of rice, now it is in a jar, and when it is ripe for a while, the bud will become a flower? ”
When everyone heard Jia Min's introduction, they were all skeptical. Although I have never heard of this thing, I also know that Jia Min is the most able to drum up some new gadgets, and I am looking forward to it.
"Alright, let's stay away a bit. The girls put their hands on their ears, and when they put things out, it would be louder. ”
Liu Cheng took down the popcorn machine, covered one end with the big cloth bag, and opened the jar.
There was a loud bang, startling everyone. Looking at the bag again, it was indeed popcorn with white flowers.
Baochai and Keqing were naturally inconvenient to eat here, so Wu Hongmei took a large tea tray, filled it with a plate, and sent it to Jia Min's study for Baochai and Qin Keqing to taste.
The men, on the other hand, began to eat on the spot.
Sitting down in the study, Baochai, Qin Keqing and the maids began to eat, and they were full of praise while eating.
"This thing, but Fourth Brother Min invented it?"
Bao Chai asked, apparently, she was already interested in this thing.
"That's right, I drew a pattern and asked Liu Cheng to make it. Miss Bao also understands business matters. In your opinion, if this popcorn is on the market, will anyone buy it? ”
"Something is naturally a good thing, but I don't know how much it costs?"
"It's always enough to make it affordable for the average small family?"
Jia Min doesn't want to say too much to Baochai now. If I talk to her too much now, she may not be able to accept it all at once.
Baochai is actually very independent, and some things can only be pointed. If she is interested, she will think for herself and finally come to a conclusion. Forcing her to instill a conclusion can sometimes backfire.
Next, Jia Min roughly calculated the economic accounts for them, which is nothing more than the cost and profit analysis of popcorn.
Originally, Jia Min was going to call Baochai to take over his popcorn plan, but no matter the occasion, atmosphere and timing, today is not the time to talk about this plan.
Besides, Baochai's city is very deep, and with Qin Keqing present, she will not easily reveal her thoughts.
For Jia Min, Qin Keqing is not an outsider. However, for Baochai, it is difficult to say what kind of relationship it is with Qin Keqing. Even if she has any real thoughts, she may not show them in front of Qin Keqing.
However, for Jia Min, just let Baochai experience popcorn today. He believes that it won't be long before Baochai will draw his own conclusions.
The task now is to solve the problem of the purpose of their trip today.
"You know what is going on here. Isn't it a little embarrassing to go back and talk to your ancestors? ”
Jia Min got straight to the point.
What Baoyu, Xue Pan and the others will say, Jia Min doesn't need to ask.
"I've heard some things, but what they say may not be true. We are not fully believers. ”
"The reason why I have not told you these things is that I have asked you to see them directly, that you may hear what they have to say. lest I tell you first, and make you think that your family is lying. ”
"In the end, it's the fourth brother Min who is generous."
Baochai also felt that this topic was not easy to talk about, so she could only deal with it.
"What they say, it's true. Locking up cages, stopping meals, and corporal punishment are all my ideas. ”
Although they already knew that these were Jia Min's ideas, Baochai and Qin Keqing were still a little surprised to see Jia Min admit it so frankly.
"As for how you go back and tell your ancestors, you don't have to be embarrassed, just tell the truth. will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected. Even if the ancestor himself came, I did what I thought. You go back and tell the ancestors that with me in this matter, no one else is allowed to interfere, otherwise, whoever wants to lead this soldier will receive it. ”
"Shou'er, you go and call Jia Baoyu. It's better to say some things in front of him, and it will save you from being embarrassed when you go back. ”
Just after eating at noon, Jia Qiang told Jia Min about Baoyu tricking people to go back, which made Jia Min make up his mind to solve Baoyu's problem now.
He used to be here, and he could still be regarded as an idler, but now he is a scourge.
Although Baoyu was behind his back, as soon as he heard that Jia Min called him, he immediately panicked. It wasn't until Shou'er said that Baochai and Qin Keqing were also present that he felt a little relieved, and followed Shou'er tremblingly.
When he entered the house, he had long lost his arrogance, and he just stood by the door, not daring to act rashly.
"Second Brother Bao, I'm talking to you as a brother now, so sit down, I won't talk about the rules in the barracks."
Baoyu sat down, and Ying'er poured him a cup of tea.
"Today, in front of Miss Bao and Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, let's make it clear, so that they can testify in the future. It will save you from spreading false rumors and making up some rumors in the future. ”
Jia Min felt that there was no need to go around in circles anymore, and he had to speak thoroughly today.
"First, I have no interest in the property of the mansion at all, and in the future, I will not compete with you for the position of the head of the mansion. What I want, I will earn it myself, and I will not fight with you. ”
"Second, I know you don't want to stay here. However, for the sake of yourself and the future of the house, I think it is necessary for you to go through some hard training here. With your current state, you won't be able to support this family in the future. ”
"Third, you currently lack a minimum sense of responsibility, and you do not have a mature sense of right and wrong, and you are even less capable of taking over the family business in the future. If you leave today, you will lose the opportunity to change yourself forever. In the future, if this home is handed over to you, the entire Jia Mansion will be unlucky. ”
"Fourth, in the past few days that you have been here, I have treated all of you equally. The reason why only the people of the Jia family have been punished is for no other reason, just because you are really inferior to others. ”
"Fifth, I have sent you to eat your food. The purpose is to test where the bottom line of your life is. You keep saying that the Jia family, the Jia family, but when they are hungry, when they ask you, you don't give them at all. You can see that you are a very selfish person. ”
"Sixth, you don't follow the rules yourself, it's just that you don't participate in training, and you also bewitch others, and even trick others to leave here, so you don't realize at all what the errand of military training means to the government? This shows that you are simply a person who does not care about the future and fate of the house. ”
"Seventh, you pretend to be stupid and clever, you don't know how to reflect when you make mistakes, and you think you are proud, which means that you don't have the spirit of introspection, and you don't have the awareness and ability to correct your mistakes."
"I know you don't want to stay here, but I'm willing to give you one last chance. Now, you have two options. ”
"The first option, stay. However, the rules here must be followed, and moreover, there will be more suffering later. Now these are just the beginning, and the real hard days are still to come. But as long as you stick to it, you'll be a whole new person. ”
"The second option is to leave now, and you can follow Miss Bao and them in a while. Go back and live your happy life. The choice is yours. ”
"I'll go, I'll go back."
As soon as Jia Min's words fell, Baoyu replied without hesitation. He didn't listen to Jia Min's words at all, but this sentence was clearly heard.
"Well, since you've decided, let's go."
"Then Brother Xue and a few of them, are you going to go with me, Fourth Brother Min, since you told me to leave, it is better to let them go, and a few of us will go back, and we will also be companions."
From this moment on, Baochai was completely disappointed in Baoyu.
She felt that she was too stupid before, and she actually took Baoyu as the object of her life in the future. is such a person, how can he be reassured?
Fourth Brother Min explained the truth to him so clearly, but he was still so obsessed. I just want to be happy and happy, and I don't think about anything else.
"Go back by yourself, and when you go back to the dormitory, you can convey a few words to a few of them for me. First, they are not allowed to go. Second, some of them are still saved, and I will observe them for a while. Third, they want to be deserters, so they will be punished after you are gone. Go ahead, go back and pack your things. ”
Baoyu listened to the sound of Lun, swished, and went out of the door.
"What happened here, go back to the house, and tell the truth. I don't need you to help me discern anything. After a long time, it will prove everything. When you go back, take Second Brother Bao back. Losing this opportunity, his life is over. ”
"In addition, tell the ancestor that I will put a name on Baoyu here, so as to save the future investigation from above, saying that he has evaded military training."
