dream of red mansion

Page 437

"Old lady, then I'll go first..."

"Go."

"Wait." Jia Qing suddenly called You Shi, walked to her side, and said in a low voice: "You will change Feng Shi into better clothes later, and then dress her up before bringing them here."

Although he didn't understand why Jia Qing gave such an order, You Shi still said, "Okay."

Then, he went out with Yin Die, his maidservant, and two wives.

When Jia Qing sat down again, the sisters around all stared at Jia Qing.

What kind of old gentleman, what kind of lady's, and what's the matter with Xiangling?

Among the sisters, only Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu knew about this matter beforehand, naturally Xue Baochai would not take the initiative to tell them about it, and Lin Daiyu had just returned.Therefore, even Jia Baoyu didn't know about it yet.

"Old Ancestor, what are you talking about?"

Jia Qing, who was preparing to explain to the Sanchun sisters below, immediately stopped talking when he heard Jia Baoyu's question.

Jia's mother loved Jia Baoyu very much, and when he asked a question, she naturally would not stop talking.So, in the entire Rongqing Hall, everyone who knew or didn't know about it all fell silent and listened to Mother Jia explain the whole story.

If there is something unclear, Aunt Xue will help to say a few words, so after a while, everyone will understand the cause and effect.

Then they looked at Xiangling curiously, as if they all wanted to see where the "goddess" was hiding and how to make her appear...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The eyes of everyone were like wolves and tigers, so frightened that Xiangling wanted to back away, but there was a screen behind her, so how could she escape.

Suddenly a figure stood in front of him, blocking the eyes of others.

"What are you doing, see how you scare people!"

Jia Qing looked at Jia Baoyu and the others with dissatisfaction.

"What if we scare her into a bad situation? Who will take care of it then?"

As soon as Jia Qing said this, everyone looked away.Speaking of which, if the rumor fabricated by Jia Qing spreads in the mansion, it will be like putting an invisible shield on Xiangling!As long as there is a little taboo in my heart, I'm afraid I won't dare to bully her anymore.

Jia Mu said: "Okay, don't read it, you will know whether it is true or not when your sister-in-law You brings him here."

Only then did everyone suspend their curiosity.

Jia Qing walked back to his seat and sat down. At this time, Daiyu suddenly said to him: "Second brother, you said that you met that old Mr. Zhen when you were in Yangzhou, and you promised to help him find his daughter. Why haven't you heard about it before?" How about it?"

Jia Qing said casually: "I've been too busy these years so I forgot..."

Daiyu said: "Since I have forgotten it, I should have forgotten it after all these years. How come I still remember his words so clearly?"

You know, Jia Qing has forgotten where he lives, so he shouldn't just remember what the Taoist said.

Uh, Jia Qing looked at Daiyu in astonishment, not understanding why she would come to "pick".What surprised Jia Qing even more was that Jia Baoyu gave the reason before him:

"Perhaps, because the Taoist priest really has spells, it is not certain. He must have cast spells on the second brother, so that the second brother can remember his words so clearly."

"Well, I don't know... But I think there is a great possibility of what Brother Bao said!" Jia Qing said ambiguously. He didn't want to make up one lie after another. Anyway, the goal has been achieved, so do more research. Already unintentional.

Xichun looked at the gap and asked, "Brother, what gift did you bring us this time?"

After hearing this, Daiyu burst into a smile, and didn't pursue the previous question any more.

"Sister Lin, what are you laughing at?" Tanchun asked.

"No, I suddenly remembered a joke, so I laughed."

Jia Qing said: "That, that, haven't you given your sister Lin's gift yet?"

"Yes, there are so many varieties!"

"In that case, you still ask me for it? Why do you want those extra gifts?"

Xichun said: "Save it, I have saved it a lot, it's all called Ruhua and keep it."

"Xichun, my brother told you, you keep these gifts, but you don't need them, and you keep them in the house all day, how boring are they?

So, this time, brother won't give you a present..."

"Where is it boring, I often watch them." Xichun muttered, and then knew that Jia Qing might not have brought her a gift back, and the expectant expression slowly dissipated.

Jia Qing scratched his head, touched his body, and finally found a newly made sachet.After seeing that Gu Qingwen was not here, he handed it to Xichun.

This small sachet was made for him by Qingwen during this trip, and he only carried it for a few days.

Seeing this, Tanchun smiled and said, "Second elder brother, if people say that things are not fair, they will cry out. You are only afraid that Xichun will be unhappy, but you are not afraid that my second sister and I will be unhappy?"

Jia Qing said bitterly: "My good sister, please forgive me, or I'll give you cash?"

Last time in Yangzhou City, Jia Qing was too busy looking for old houses, so he didn't buy gifts for his family.Later, on the return boat, seeing Daiyu's pile of presents, Jia Qing wanted to ask her to share some of them for him, but unfortunately Daiyu refused and let him get off the boat to buy them himself.

Jia Qing thought about it, it would be like a routine to buy it alone, and it would be meaningless to buy it every time, so forget it.

Unexpectedly, Xichun guessed that he would bring a gift back, so she took the initiative to ask questions.Jia Qing didn't want to disappoint her, so he took one of his personal items and gave it to her.

But now that Tanchun blocks him with the words of suffering from inequality, how can he have so many things to give away?

"Okay, how much is the second brother going to discount?" Tanchun laughed.

She's not Xichun, she's just joking.

"How much do you want?"

"Hey, of course, the more the better."

"How about I make up the monthly payment for each of you for a year?" Jia Qing thought about it and asked tentatively.

Tanchun was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Second brother, you just asked your ancestors for the New Year's money but failed, why are you suddenly so generous now?"

Jia Qing hehe said: "You don't understand, I give you the money, what can you do with it? Why don't you buy needles and threads, and then everyone make dozens of sets of clothes and shoes for me? , I even saved my wages, hehe."

Yingchun always had a smile on her face, and said, "Second brother, why do you need so many clothes and shoes?"

Jia Qing looked at her and said with a smile: "It's a new year, so I have to wear new clothes and hats! I can wear clothes very well, and I have to change a few sets a day, so I don't need to prepare too much." point?"

Tanchun laughed and said, "If that's the case, we wouldn't dare to take your money. Dozens of sets of clothes can't exhaust you to death."

Daiyu said: "What are you afraid of? Just make one or two pieces for him at that time."
