Jia Baoyu bought a lot of gifts this time, mainly to comfort Sanchun to help him proofread and transcribe the manuscript of "Journey to the West", after all, they have no salary, and the dividends at the end of the year have not yet arrived, so Jia Baoyu paid out of his own pocket to buy some small gifts, which are counted as their hard work.

If later generations knew that Jia Baoyu hired child labor, they would definitely scold him for being an evil capitalist.

Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Baoyu had a tired look on his face, and said: "It's not early today, my sisters will go back to rest, anyway, Baoyu won't run away, I'm here to vouch for him, if Baoyu runs away, I'll pay him back." ”

Qin Keqing smiled and quipped: "Phew! So don't be ashamed, how can you, as a sister-in-law, vouch for your brother-in-law, he ran away and his younger siblings, what kind of guarantor do you have? ”

Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing have the best relationship, and the two of them are the housekeepers of Rongning Erfu, so they have many common topics, but Wang Xifeng has a pungent personality and a hot temper.

Qin Keqing is completely the opposite, she is like water, she can tolerate all things, but the people in Ning Guofu also obey her, and Ning Guofu is also in good order under her management.

The two often get together to vent their bitterness and exchange management experiences.

Wang Xifeng clapped his hands and said: "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the younger brother-in-law is a son, I look at Baoyu like Qiao'er, how can I not protect it?" It's Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, you took Baoyu's gift, and you're still talking nonsense here, it's really shameless and skinless, I don't think you want this jade Ruyi anymore! ”

After that, Wang Xifeng moved to snatch the jade Ruyi in Qin Keqing's hand, Qin Keqing hurriedly hid the things behind him, and said to him: "Good sister-in-law, spare my sister, people like this thing very much." ”

Jia Lan and Jia Huan glanced at each other, Qi Qi walked out, Jia Huan was also quite thick-skinned, he stretched out his hand and said to Jia Jia Baoyu: "My sisters have gifts, what about my gifts?" ”

Jia Baoyu slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "I almost forgot my dearest brother, you see my memory as an elder brother." ”

As soon as Jia Baoyu said this, it immediately aroused the interest of other girls, and everyone stretched their necks, as if they were observing what Jia Baoyu would take out to give Jia Huan.

The party Jia Huan squeezed his heart to his throat, since he was a child, he really hasn't received a gift from Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu searched in the box for a long time, "Found it!" Jia Baoyu took out two large stacks of books from the box, and he smiled and handed the stack of books to Jia Huan's hand.

Jia Huan was quite disappointed when he saw that it was a book, but when he thought of the "Picture of the Immortal of the Longevity" that Shen Liang gave to Xichun just now, one foot could be sold for 100 taels of silver, and he immediately smiled, "How much silver should be sold for such a thick stack?" 1000 taels? Ten thousand taels? ”

Jia Huan opened the book with great excitement, only to see that the cover was written "Compilation of Champion Articles of the Past Dynasties".

Jia Huan wondered in his heart, could it be that this was written by the champion to Shen Liang?

The girls saw the words on the book and asked, "Baoyu, what are you sending this to Huan'er for?" ”

A smug smile appeared on Jia Baoyu's face, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "Of course, I hope that my dearest and most beloved younger brother can be like the champion of the past dynasties, and he will be the title of the gold list in the future, the champion of high school, and the lintel of my Jia family!"

It is not in vain that Aunt Zhao conceived in October and gave birth to her. ”

Jia Huan: ...... Baoyu, you are so poisonous!

When Jia Huan heard this, he quickly turned a few pages and found that the book was actually brand new, with the aroma of ink, and it was a new book that had just been printed.

Now he has completely woken up from his dream of making a fortune!

Jia Baoyu really gave him a set of books, a set of serious scientific research Bibles!

Aunt Zhao didn't know what Jia Baoyu was thinking, she looked at Jia Baoyu and said loudly: "Thank you brother soon, there is really no better gift than this!" ”

Rao is Aunt Zhao doesn't like Jia Baoyu anymore, but Jia Baoyu's words just now really hit her heart, how can any parents not want their son to become a Chan, no matter how bad Jia Huan is, it will also roll out of her stomach.

Aunt Zhao usually scolds and scolds, and belittles and belittles, but what hurts her the most is Jia Huan.

She also hopes that Jia Huan will have a chance and can earn her a life to come back, of course, according to the ancient rules, although she is Jia Huan's biological mother, Jia Huan has to call her aunt as usual, Jia Huan's nominal mother is Mrs. Wang, even if Jia Huan becomes a big official in the future, the order is also Mrs. Wang's.

But Aunt Zhao didn't think so far at all, she just wanted her son to be able to get ahead and be noble in front of others, and she, as a mother, was also happy in her heart.

But our client Jia Huan was not very happy, he drooped his head, looked at the stack of books that were about to catch up with his thigh, and said dejectedly: "Thank you, brother." ”

Tanchun said on the side: "Huan'er, when others get gifts, they are all happy, why are you unhappy when you get gifts?" ”

Jia Huan showed a smile that was more ugly than crying.

Poof-it doesn't matter if he laughs, Xue Baochai and the others are laughing!

Yingchun couldn't hold it, a mouthful of tea squirted out, Qin Keqing laughed, belched on the table, Li Kun smiled and pointed at Sister Feng'er, only couldn't speak, Aunt Xue couldn't hold it, the tea sprayed Tanchun's skirt in her mouth, the tea bowl in Tanchun's hand was closed on Jia Huan's body, Xichun left the seat, pulled his grandmother and rubbed his intestines.

None of the servants underground did not bend over and bend their backs, some hid out and squatted and laughed, and some came up to change his sister's clothes with laughter, and Sister Feng was the only one to support her.

The only one who didn't laugh was Aunt Zhao, she didn't understand why Jia Baoyu gave her son such a good gift, but these people couldn't stop laughing.

Jia Baoyu patted Jia Huan's shoulder and put on the posture of an elder: "Brother, you have to practice hard when you go back, but your brother wasted the boss's strength and spent a lot of money to collect it from the people, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it." ”

Jia Huan was still crying, he was still a ten-year-old child, he liked toys, where would he like this kind of boring tome, he really wanted to burn this book with a fire.

Li Kun on the side laughed enough, and walked over to Jia Huan and said, "Uncle Huan, if you don't like it, how about I exchange this silver chain with you?" ”

Jia Baoyu's gift to Li Kun was a silver anklet, with a beautiful shape, the chain was decorated with all kinds of plum blossoms, and a few small bells, which shook gently and jingled.

Jia Huan's eyes were straight, and he reached out to take it.

Smack - Aunt Zhao's eyes were quick, she slapped off Jia Huan's paws, and scolded: "The seeds that have not been created, the evil obstacles of maggots, the tall chickens that can't get on the table, this is a book that your brother bought for you, and it cost me I don't know how much silver, don't you hear, you can't buy it with money outside!" ”

Then Aunt Zhao turned her head to Li Kun and said, "Lan'er, damn it, you should keep this chain yourself, we don't need it." ”

After speaking, she grabbed Jia Huan's hand, held the book in one hand and walked away.

Li Kun secretly said that it was a pity, others didn't know the value of that set of books, how could she not know?

That's the "Compilation of Champion Articles of the Past Dynasties", which records the articles written by the champion in the palace examination, although it is mainly a question, but it also contains the champion's thinking and problem-solving ideas, which are not measured by silver at all.

Jia Baoyu saw that Li Kun's eyes were still staring at the place where Aunt Zhao disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I still have a set here, specially prepared for Lan'er." ”

Li Kun turned his head and saw Shen Liang take out another set of books from the wooden box, which was actually the same as the one just now.

She thanked her while taking it and turned the first page, but saw that it read, "The first year of the vertical arch, the champion: Wu Shidao." ”

Li Kun was like a treasure, and hurriedly said: "Thank you uncle, Lan'er, come here, thank you Uncle Baoyu." ”

Jia Lan was sensible, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, uncle." ”
