Chapter 21: Heart-to-heart, uncle-nephew heart-to-heart
"This is not the place to talk, go spend money first!"
went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy two clothes for Jia Qiang, and rented a small courtyard on the west corridor behind Rongguo Mansion.
Looking at Jia Qiang's expression that if you don't tell me, I will definitely not be able to sleep today, Jia Lu smiled and said:
"If I tell you the origin of this bracelet, you can't tell anyone about it!"
Jia Qiang nodded hurriedly and said, "This is natural, you won't tell outsiders about my affairs, will I talk about you?" Isn't this a waste of your heart helping me so much? ”
Jia Lu lowered his voice and said, "I really made this." ”
"Make ...... Can this jade be made too? ”
Jia Lu had already thought of a set of excuses and said: "Good brother, if you help me when I am in trouble, I will treat you as a brother, so I won't hide it from you."
In fact, when I was a child, a Taoist priest said that I had a relationship with Taoism, accepted me as a disciple, and taught me many immortal methods that Taoism did not pass on in three years, and this jade making is one of them.
To put it bluntly, it is to use a stone that looks like jade instead of jade, and soak it in a potion for a period of time, and the stone will look exactly like jade. ”
Jia Qiang slapped her thigh and said, "That's no wonder!" At that time, you were going to go to the jade shop on the street, and you borrowed money from me, so it was for this! ”
"Exactly." Jia Lu nodded.
"Good boy! I've only heard of an old immortal who can turn stones into gold, and this is the first time I've heard of this stone into jade. I said Brother Lu, you can't be kidding me, are you? Why do I think this is so mysterious? ”
Jia Lu couldn't help laughing: "It does sound quite mysterious, and when you see it, you will believe it." ”
Jia Qiang was overjoyed when she heard this: "What, you want to give me this immortal method?" ”
Jia Lu said: "Just now you went to me and smelled it, there is always a strange smell in my house, if it is not good for a long time, it will be seen, and it will be difficult to say at that time."
That's why I asked you to rent this yard, meaning that I want to move all my things to you.
I didn't say hello to you beforehand, and asked if you would like to ......."
Without waiting for Jia Lu to finish speaking, Jia Qiang nodded one after another and said, "Willing to be willing, why not willing?"
Didn't you pay for the rent? If it weren't for you, I would have to worry about where I would sleep at night! What's wrong with putting something in?
Brother Lu, Third Uncle Lu, in the future, you will make a fortune as jade, but you have to bring your nephew! ”
Jia Lu straightened his face and said, "Brother Qiang, although I have this craft, I don't want to rely on him for a while.
If it weren't for your troubles this time, I wouldn't have taken it out.
No matter how good this jade is, it can't be compared to real jade......"
Jia Qiang couldn't help but say with a guilty face: "Yes, what the third uncle taught me is that my nephew has been taught, and this deceptive thing can't be done......"
Jia Lu smiled: "You misunderstood, I don't think this is a lie." Isn't jade itself just a stone?
We also use stones, but only with a little processing. Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.
Who bought them only blamed themselves for not having enough eyesight to distinguish between them.
You see those who sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings, not all of them can be understood, once they leave their hands, they will not be returned! ”
Jia Qiang was puzzled: "Then why...... You don't want to make money on this? ”
Jia Lu asked rhetorically: "What do I want so much money for now?" ”
Jia Qiang was speechless for a while, indeed, it was really useless for Jia Lu to ask for money now.
He was just a minor concubine, and from the point of view of etiquette, he was not qualified to own his own private property at all until the family was separated.
Even if he makes a fortune now, as long as Jia Yu or Mrs. Xing says a word, he can take it back.
It's not unheard of how greedy Mrs. Xing is for money, Jia Qiang.
Jia Lu said again: "But Brother Qiang, since you have moved out of Ning Guofu now, can you choose your own family to live?" ”
Jia Qiang collapsed directly, pulled Jia Lu's arm and said, "Third Uncle, Third Uncle Lu, just tell me what you think, don't tease me!" ”
Jia Lu smiled: "It's not interesting, you, if you want to live in the future, it's understandable to use this craft to occasionally get some money, but don't be too greedy."
Shenjing has a population of one million, and it is not a big problem for us to sell a few pieces of jade every once in a while, if we are too greedy, it will inevitably attract people's attention and cause some trouble.
Think about it, if you let others know that there is a bit of a stone into jade in this world, can anyone not be tempted?
When the time comes, there will be people who will unscrupulously want to get this craft, isn't this asking us for trouble?
You should always understand the truth that the husband is innocent and guilty, right? ”
Jia Qiang was happy when she heard this, Jia Lu wanted to help herself, and admired Jia Lu for having such skills, but she could keep her poor, and her mind was so meticulous.
"The third uncle is right! My nephew was taught! ”
Jia Lu said: "Why is there a third uncle in one bite?" I didn't help you so that you could call me Third Uncle. ”
Jia Qiang said: "In the past, I only thought that the third uncle was young, but he had backbone and was a person who could be friends, but now I understand that although the third uncle is young, he is old and serious, and he thinks about it thoroughly, and his nephew admires it from the bottom of his heart, and this third uncle is willing!" ”
Jia Lu couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and said, "That's it, it's just a title, whatever you want to call it." It's getting darker in a moment, so come with me and bring all the bottles and jars in my house to you. ”
----
West Flower Hall of Ningguo Mansion.
"What? You said Brother Qiang rented a yard from the West Corridor? Jia Zhen couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Xiao Shou'er's words: "Where did he get the silver?" ”
Shou'er looked puzzled: "I didn't inquire about this little one, I only heard that Uncle Xiaoqiang rented the yard at a price of fifteen taels a year, and also bought two new clothes, which doesn't look like a lack of silver at all." ”
"Rubbish!" Jia Zhen scolded.
"Yes, the little one will inquire again!"
Shou'er promised on his lips, but his heart was full of complaints: You only asked me to inquire about Jia Qiang's life, and you didn't let me ask so carefully, should I ask him again about what he eats three meals a day?
Shou'er went out, and Jia Zhen couldn't help but feel irritated in her heart.
All these years of poverty and luxury have made him not satisfied with the comfortable life he has now and the physical pleasure that can be obtained at any time.
He needs something more exciting to satisfy his desires, such as breaking through humanity, such as with his nephew......
What I didn't expect was that Jia Qiang, this kid, didn't know how to lift, and wasted so many years of taking care of him!
But the more you can't get it, the more it's a fatal temptation, and Jia Zhen has to find ways to get it.
I think Jia Qiang also knew a few friends outside, and she must have borrowed some silver from them to get by.
It may be okay to borrow it once or twice, but he is a teenager who is homeless and unemployed, and he is even more spoiled as a son and brother who can't carry his hands on his shoulders, what can he do to starve? Who will lend you next time?
It's just a matter of how long you can last!
"I'll see if you can escape from my palm!" Jia Zhen clenched her fists, and an obscene smile leaked from the corner of her mouth.
