Chapter 161: To Suzhou
Jia Baoyu proposed that the three of them worship brothers, and Xue Zhen first agreed: "Xue Mou has this intention, what do you think, Brother Han?" ”
Han Fei saw that the two of them were full of enthusiasm, and worshipping the two families was equivalent to falling in love with the two families, so naturally he would not object. He immediately smiled and said: "To be able to form a brother with Brother Xue and Brother Jia, Han can't ask for it!" Come on, put on the incense case! ”
The subordinates put incense in the courtyard, Han Fei, Xue Zhen, and Jia Baoyu immediately burned incense and worshiped into brothers with different surnames, known as "blessed and enjoy the same hardships, do not seek to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and month", in a word, the three of them have been equivalent to brothers since then. After talking about his age, Xue Zhenju has grown into the eldest brother, Han Fei is the second, and Jia Baoyu is naturally the third brother.
At the end of the worship ceremony, Han Fei ordered his subordinates to hold a banquet, and the three brothers drank together, talked about life and feelings, which was quite speculative. After the meal, Han Fei called out several women in the backyard and saluted the two brothers, and then the three brothers returned to the study to talk.
"Third brother, how long are you going to stay when you return to your hometown to worship your ancestors this time? I plan to go to Suzhou in a few days, if the third brother has more time, just go to Suzhou with me to have fun! Han Fei beckoned Xue Zhen and Jia Baoyu to sit down and said.
Jia Baoyu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not, before leaving, my grandmother repeatedly told me to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and next month is my grandmother's birthday, and my younger brother plans to stay in Jinling for three days and go back!" The eldest brother, the second brother, and the younger brother heard that there was a rare perfume in Jinling in Beijing, and the younger brother wanted to buy some high-quality perfumes, do you have any relationship to get it? ”
"Poof-" Xue Zhen was drinking tea, took a sip of tea, and laughed: "Third brother, you haven't even figured out which perfume is from?" ”
"The younger brother just heard that there is this rare thing in Jinling, it is said that this thing is very valuable, and even the ladies in the palace do not get much quantity, so the younger brother also asked, and he didn't expect to buy it, so he never asked who produced the perfume!"
"Haha, third brother, it's someone else's business if others can't buy it, you will definitely be able to buy it!"
Jia Baoyu was pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that the eldest brother has a way?" ”
"Big brother, don't tease the third brother!" Han Fei said with a smile: "Third brother, the perfume is the ...... produced by my Han family."
"Ah, second brother, it turned out to be your house?" Jia Baoyu stood up excitedly and said, "Second brother, you must prepare some for me, before the younger brother came, the wives and aunts and girls in the family were all told by thousands of people, and they were all looking forward to getting a bottle of perfume......
When Jia Baoyu said this, he glanced out and said in a low voice: "There is also Concubine De in the palace...... There are ministers into the two boxes of the best perfume Jinling twelve hairpins, the emperor gave it to the concubines, Concubine De Niangniang was fortunate to get a bottle, I like it very much, this time I heard that I came to Jinling, especially sent someone to ask me to search. Second brother, Concubine De is my own sister, you must give me a few boxes of Jinling Twelve Hairpins! ”
"Cough cough cough ......" When Han Fei heard this, he choked on a sip of tea in his throat and coughed for a while before he said, "Third brother, do you think the best perfume is so easy to get?" The annual output of the best perfume is only a dozen boxes, and it has long been snatched away, not to tell you, I have hidden three boxes in private, you bring one box to Concubine De Niangniang, I will go to Suzhou to bring a box to Shi Niang as a meeting gift, and one box has to be kept for emergency use. ”
Xue Zhen continued: "Third brother, your second brother is right, the production of the best perfume is very low, and I am also worn out for my brother, so your second brother gave me a box." ”
Jia Baoyu nodded and said: "There is no way to produce a small amount, it is not easy to get a box for Concubine De, the wives and girls in the family, don't care!" ”
"Third brother, ladies and girls in your house, I will send a bottle of high-quality perfume to each person, this year's flowering period has passed, and I will expand the scale of production next year, produce as much as possible a little best perfume, and leave two more boxes for the house at that time!"
"Thank you, second brother, how much does it cost......"
"There is no need to talk about money, just as a gift to my ladies and ladies!"
"Second brother, this ......"
Xue Zhen smiled beside him: "Third brother, just do what your second brother says, your second brother is not bad for money!" ”
"Then the little brother is better to be respectful! The eldest brother, the second brother, and the younger brother came to Jinling this time and wanted to prepare a birthday gift for their grandmother, do you know where there are rare things or expensive jewelry and the like? ”
The three of them were silent for a while, wishing Jia's mother for her birthday, ordinary gold, silver and jewelry and the like were too vulgar, and only novelties would please the old man.
"It's a pity that the third brother's time in Jinling is too short, otherwise I can make one for you!" Han Fei said regretfully.
Xue Zhen's eyes lit up and said: "I almost forgot for my brother, the second brother is an expert in making jewelry, and the third brother has only been in Jinling for three days, which is really a pity!" ”
Jia Baoyuqi said: "The second brother can also make jewelry? ”
Xue Zhen smiled: "What's so strange about this, your second brother is a genius, and his ability is so great that you can never think of it!" ”
"Big brother, don't brag for your little brother!" Han Fei said to Jia Baoyu again: "Third brother, I have a bracelet for the birthday of a boy here, which was originally prepared for the eldest brother's mother's birthday, you can take it first!" ”
Let's say it, Han Fei took out a delicate box from the dark cabinet and handed it to Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu opened the box, uncovered the wrapped brocade, and a crystal clear bracelet suddenly appeared in front of him, the most peculiar, the boy carved on the bracelet held a longevity peach, lifelike, as if he was going to walk down from the bracelet.
"It's amazing!" Xue Zhen and Jia Baoyu couldn't help but marvel.
Seeing off Xue Zhen and Jia Baoyu, it happened that Li Xiangjun, the perfume director of the Han family, came back, Han Fei took her aside and instructed her to prepare a batch of perfume to send to Jiafu.
"Childe, our family's best perfume Jinling Twelve Hairpins, there are still a lot of stocks, why don't you give Concubine De a few boxes?" Li Xiangjun asked suspiciously.
Han Fei raised his hand and knocked a hairy chestnut on Li Xiangjun's head, and scolded with a smile: "Silly girl, there are so many people in the palace, Concubine De can easily get it, and others will inevitably come to ask for it, what to do then, it's not good for those nobles to offend anyone!" Besides, only by making perfumes more rare on the market will our perfumes last forever! ”
"The concubine knows that she is wrong......"
"It's not okay to just know that you're wrong, since you're wrong, you'll be punished, so I'll punish you for serving Young Master Ben well tonight, hehe......"
"Childe ......"
A few days later, Han unofficially announced that he was going to Suzhou, and this time he went to Suzhou mainly to install an electric fan system at Du's house. Xue Zhen's rubber tree has not been found so far, and Han Fei can't refine the rubber, so he can't strengthen the safety of the circuit, but every time Old Man Du writes a letter, he always shouts hot openly and secretly, so Han Fei has to decide to install a set of electric fans first.
Han Fei went to Suzhou, Duran Du Wei and the two sisters and brothers must go together, and Yu Shiying, the prefect of Tianfu, also asked him to bring some gifts to honor his teacher, and the Han family hired more than a dozen cars from the car dealership to take all the items away.
When he went out this time, Han Fei originally planned to take only Ling'er and Lan'er to serve, but Wang Ruolan and the others were worried that there would be another accident, so they forcibly asked the four people of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu to accompany them.
