Chapter 18 The beautiful jade is full of mothers and sons
In the afternoon, when Jia Lu came back from school, she entered the second gate, and a mother-in-law said: "Third master, the eldest lady is talking to you." ”
Jia Lu answered and came to Mrs. Xing's room and saluted and asked, "Mrs. looking for me?" ”
Mrs. Xing gestured to the chair next to her, "Sit down and talk." ”
Jia Lu thanked him and sat down, and Mrs. Xing asked again, "How about studying in school?" Will it be? Can you keep up with your schoolwork? ”
Jia Lu didn't know what kind of medicine Mrs. Xing was selling in the gourd, so she answered Mrs. Xing's words one by one.
Mrs. Xing took out the two small gold bills and put them on the table and said, "That Mrs. Rong really shouldn't steal your things!"
I told her a long time ago, you are the master, let her not be lazy, who would have thought that she would actually turn a deaf ear, and this time she will do such a thing!
Now that I have beaten her and sent their family to Zhuangzi, I can be regarded as angry with you. ”
Jia Lu stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Mrs. for calling the shots." ”
Mrs. Xing smiled kindly: "You child, I am your mother, can I not make the decision for you?" Sit down and talk, don't be so polite. ”
"Yes." Jia Lu sat down again.
Mrs. Xing glanced at the gold coin on the table and said, "You are still a child, you are young, and there are jade pendants and these gold coaxes around you, why don't people worry about you?"
I'll help you save one or two of your monthly money, but I'm afraid that you have more money on your body, which will make people worry about it, do you understand your mother's heart? ”
Jia Lu scratched her head and said, "I didn't understand it, but as soon as my wife said this, I understood!" It turns out that my wife is all for my good!
In that case, can I ask my wife to keep these two gold bills for me? ”
When Mrs. Xing heard this, she immediately rejoiced: Isn't this kid also quite sensible!
"You kid is talking stupidly again, I'm your mother, I don't worry about you, who cares about you?
I'll keep the gold for you, and when you grow up, if you want to say that your daughter-in-law buys a house and land, I'll give you a good job!
In the future, if there is an old lady or someone who rewarded you with anything valuable, you can also keep it for me for you, remember?
I'll help you save one or two of your monthly money every month, and you can spend the rest of the money yourself. ”
"Remembered." Jia Lu took out a bracelet from his arms and said, "If I have a tael of silver every month, I can't use this if I want to, so please ask my wife to keep it for me." ”
"Isn't that what I should be worried about!"
Mrs. Xing took the bracelet and looked at it, it was crystal clear, and there was almost no flaw in the fine Hetian jade, but I was afraid that it was worth a lot of money!
"You haven't told your wife yet, how did these bracelets come from? Did your own mother leave it for you? ”
Jia Lu said: "Exactly, it was all left to me by my mother." ”
Mrs. Xing hurriedly asked, "In addition to the jade pendant that your master gave to your mother and this pair of bracelets, what else did your mother leave for you?" ”
Jia Lu thought for a while and said, "There are more than a dozen pairs of bracelets, wrenches, hairpins, and safety buckles...... There must be such a big box of miscellaneous things. ”
The more Jia Lu said, Mrs. Xing's eyes couldn't help but widen, how could a prostitute have so many good things?
"That'...... Where are these things? Mrs. Xing's voice trembled a little.
"My mother entrusted it to my aunt before she died, saying that she would give it to me when I grew up, and only let me take the jade pendant left by my father to recognize my relatives, and gave me a pair of bracelets, saying that if I have no money to spend, I can exchange it for silver."
"Auntie? You kid, didn't my mother say you, such a valuable thing, it's better to put it in your own hands! Although my aunt is also a relative, ...... in the end"
Halfway through the words, he stopped when he saw Jia Lu looking at him with some dissatisfaction in his eyes, maybe the aunt he said was really Jia Lu's biological mother's sister?
If she casually slandered her, Jia Lu would be disgusted, but it would be bad, and if you want to get that box of jade treasures, you have to slowly figure it out!
Sure enough, Jia Lu said: "My aunt is the best for me, she doesn't use children, she only treats me as her own son!" ”
Mrs. Xing said tentatively: "That...... She is going to wait until you are an adult before she will give you this box of jade? ”
Jia Lu said: "No, my mother said that when I am ten years old, give me some first, so that I can study." When I reach the age of fifteen, I will give it all to me, so that I can marry my daughter-in-law. It's a pity that my mother can't see that I have found my father now and read books."
Mrs. Xing breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it won't take a few years, but by then Jia Lu has grown up, and it will take a little effort to keep these treasures for herself.
Jia Lu said: "When my aunt sends the things, I will also give them to my wife to help me keep them, can I make it?" I now have food to eat, and silver to spend. ”
Mrs. Xing immediately became happy again: "It should be so!" This kind of trouble naturally has to be decided by your wife!
Now that you are the young master of Rongguo Mansion, are you afraid that no one will preside over such a thing as studying and marrying a relative? You don't have to worry about these things, just concentrate on your books! ”
Jia Lu nodded yes.
Mrs. Xing wanted to ask Jia Lu's biological mother how many good things she had left for him, but she was afraid that she would be too greedy; I want to talk about something close to home, but I don't have much to say.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Mama Rong has been sent away, wait until I find a charitable Mama to serve you." Dial another maid to call you. ”
The standard configuration of the young ladies and young masters of Rongguo Mansion is a grandmother and two maids, of course, Jia Baoyu is an exception.
Who knew that Jia Lu said: "Madam, no need, I can take care of myself." ”
Mrs. Xing only thought that Mama Rong's actions had caused a shadow on Jia Lu, so she tried to squeeze out a charitable smile and said:
"Don't worry, this time I will definitely find someone who will not dare to bully you! If anyone bullies you again, just come and tell me, see that I don't beat them! ”
Jia Lu hurriedly said: "It's not because of this, it's just that I was born to like quiet, if there is a grandmother and maid by my side, it will be noisy, which affects my study."
Now that I live in the house, and food is brought and my clothes are washed, what else do I need to be attended?
It's better to save the monthly money of the grandmothers and maids, and my wife will save it for me to use in the future, does my wife think I have a point? ”
"You're right! In that case, just do what you want! Just don't tell outsiders that I've snubbed you. ”
Mrs. Xing almost wanted to give Jia Lu a hug, this kid is so sensible!
Jia Lu smiled: "What are these words? It's because I don't want anyone to serve me, how dare I blame my wife? ”
After saying some nonsense about "mother and son", Jia Lu withdrew.
Originally, I just wanted to frame Mama Rong and send her away, but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain!
Mrs. Xing is thinking about her "jade" in her heart, so she shouldn't embarrass herself again in the next few days, right?
However, the technique of pickling stones to pretend to be jade still needs to be improved, and the current degree of fraud, Mrs. Meng Yimeng Xing is more than enough for a layman, if you encounter the brick family, I am afraid that you will be able to see the clues.
As soon as he returned to his room, he heard Jia Cong at the head of the wall greet him: "Brother Lu! ”
Jia Lu smiled and asked, "Master! ”
Jia Cong jumped down and smiled: "How is it?" My trick of flying cornices and walking on the wall came in handy, right? If I hadn't hidden your things in Mama Yung's house......"
Jia Lu glared: "What nonsense?" What is it? What Mama Rong? ”
Jia Cong immediately shut up and stuck out his tongue at Jia Lu.
"Don't talk nonsense in the future, if it reaches my wife's ears, do you think she can spare us both? Don't go around and say, Ming'er, I'll buy some osmanthus cakes to filial piety to Master~"
Jia Cong smiled: "You have some filial piety!" ”
