Jia Jing smiled and said: "What else? There is no one in charge in the back house, but if there are two people, do you think I am willing to run away?" Wang Fuzhong nodded hurriedly and bowed and said: "You deserve to die! It's because you didn't think well."
Jia Jing smiled and waved her hands and said: "It's nothing. It's not your fault. It's just that I can't think of any ideas. Alas..."
Although the Ningguo Mansion now has many servants, it still lacks someone who can take charge of affairs. Wang Fuzhong is a man after all. He can take care of the front affairs, but it is difficult to interfere with the affairs of the back house. Qingwen should be qualified, but
Moreover, his temperament and temperament are not suitable for taking charge of things. Jia Jing is afraid that if he lets Qingwen take charge of things, Qingwen will kill the disobedient maid with a hairpin...
When Wang Fuzhong saw Jia Jing sighing helplessly, he smiled and said: "Uncle, I am not young anymore. Please marry a wife as soon as possible. Then someone will take care of the affairs of the back house?" Jia Jing smiled and patted his shoulder.
Said: "You might as well hope to find one yourself first."
Wang Fuzhong smiled and said nothing. He was completely disappointed with women. First, his concubine had an affair with his slave, and then his wife and daughter fled in all directions. Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately! Some even get involved in the crime.
After taking away what little money he had left, Wang Fuzhong would be arrogant if he could still marry again...
Jia Jing also knew this, so she just made a joke. After patting Wang Fuzhong on the shoulder, she returned to Huifang Garden. At this time, the Jia sisters were also sitting and talking. The pavilion was ventilated from all sides, and the Jia sisters
They were all wrapped in cloaks and the like. Even so, Daiyu was still trembling slightly and breathing heavily.
Jia Jing smiled and said, "Where is Zicuckoo? Why didn't she follow you?" Daiyu glanced at him and said, "Sisters don't have anyone around them, so why am I always surrounded by people to serve me?" Baochai said.
Someone on the side laughed and said, "It's just troublesome if we don't take it with you. Why do you have to stand up so hard to compete with us despite your poor health?"
Daiyu smiled and said to Baochai, and then said to Jia Jing: "You guys have strong bones, but I am weak? I'm not afraid. I was frozen here by you. Even if it is really frozen, it will be good or bad."
It's up to you." Jia Jing said helplessly: "It's up to me, it's up to me, it's just that you're the one who's freezing, and I don't feel uncomfortable."
Daiyu reached out and patted Jia Jing angrily, and then quickly hid her cold hands under her cloak. After a while, she saw several women carrying screens. They first covered the air leakage areas of the pavilion with screens.
Then several women came carrying the cooked charcoal basins, and the temperature in the pavilion suddenly rose.
Sanchun and Baochai unfolded their cloaks slightly, but Daiyu still sat there wrapped up and did not dare to move. Jia Jing smiled and turned to the women and said, "Have all the things been delivered?"
The woman quickly replied: "Back to uncle, when we came over we saw that the girls had already taken it. We may have arrived by now."
Jia Jing nodded, and sure enough, as soon as those women bowed their heads and left, they saw a few maids coming over with a few soup women's hand stoves and other things. They first gave Jia Jing a gift. Jia Jing nodded and said: "To these girls
Share it."
Then Daiyu, who held the hand stove, felt relieved and her face finally looked better. The maids came forward again and said: "Uncle, the banquet has been prepared. Do you want to pass on the dishes immediately?" Jia Jing nodded.
, so the maids came forward with the wine and food and set them up.
Jia Jing took her seat without hesitation. The host then laughed, rubbed her hands and said, "Eat first, eat first!" Then the sisters who were talking saw Jia Jing take a seat and they all took their own seats. Jia Jing picked up her chopsticks and picked them up. He put a piece of venison in his mouth and started to enjoy it. While eating, he breathed out a sigh of relief and said: "I'm so hungry! I didn't eat well at the old lady's place last night, so I have a chance to eat it today." full."
Everyone laughed, and Tan Chun laughed and said, "Why didn't you tell the old lady that your second brother didn't have enough to eat yesterday? It seems like it's our fault." Jia Jing snorted and said with a smile, "You didn't see your second brother yesterday?" My sister-in-law is so distressed! If she asked me if I told her that she didn’t have enough food and had to clear the table again, I think her face would turn green!”
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard him complaining about Wang Xifeng. Baochai laughed and said: "She was just joking with her second brother. It really hurts her. Even the old lady has to talk about her!" Jia Jing said with a smile: "That's because you don't You know, the old lady’s love for me now is fake, she only looks at her precious jade with all her heart!”
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he raised his head in confusion, then smiled and said: "Why do you only love me? It's obviously just me, but you are partial to me. Since I was a child, I have always said that the old lady loves me!" Jia Jing curled her lips and pinched her lips again. After taking a chopstick of food, he said to Jia Baoyu, "Have you dealt with the matter involving the eldest brother of the Xue family?"
Baoyu was stunned for a moment. When Baochai heard this, he looked at Baoyu with great concern. Baoyu couldn't help but put down the chopsticks in his hands and swallowed the food before saying: "I already made an agreement with Brother Liu yesterday. I'll be there tomorrow." Set up a table at Zuiyue Tower and invite Brother Xue to come and apologize to him in person."
Jia Jing nodded silently, and Baochai smiled and said: "I'm sorry for you, Baoyu, you are so busy with my brother's affairs." Baoyu scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "What's this... I originally treated Liu Er Brother and Brother Xue are both friends! I don’t want to ruin each other’s friendship because of this trivial matter. We have friendship with each other and everyone is harmonious. How good is that?”
Tanchun heard the words and said with a smile: "It can be seen that Brother Bao has also grown up! Now he handles things so beautifully." Baoyu glanced at Daiyu and then went away embarrassedly, but Daiyu only smiled. While they were talking, Jia Jing took a sip of wine and said: "It's time to make some progress. You are not young anymore. In a few years, it will be time to discuss marriage. When you get married, you can't return to the old lady's arms." "Double, in the final analysis, we have to live alone, we don't have to stand up, we brothers can just sit and talk."
Baoyu, who was supposed to be taught by his elder brother, was about to get up but was stopped by Jia Jing. Jia Jing licked his lips and said: "When Brother Xianzhu was here, he was the best scholar in the two houses. In our generation." Apart from the brothers in the clan, it was Brother Zhu who was the first to get married and start a business." Jia Zhen, that bastard Jia Jing, didn't even want to mention it...
Jia Jing took a sip of wine and said: "There are no more Dingkou in your place than in Dongfu. You should have separated from that time, but the old lady is still here, so you are still living together. Otherwise, At this time, the big room should be bigger than the big room, and the second room should be better than the second room." Everyone nodded secretly, Jia Jing narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Baoyu with some memories and said: "When Brother Zhu was here, you still had Xiao Xu doesn’t remember, and his memory must be vague, but I remember clearly, not to mention Brother Zhu’s character and knowledge, of course there is no mention of his character and knowledge. If not... he would be a nobleman by now."
Everyone was silent. Mentioning the deceased inevitably made everyone feel a little heavy. Jia Jing rubbed her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "I just want to tell you that it was fine when Brother Zhu was here. Now that he is gone, you are the second wife."
My eldest grandson, now that we are all living together, you will naturally open your mouth and stretch out your hands for food, but will you share it in the future? Who do you rely on? Brother Huan? "
Jia Huan stared at Baoyu with wide eyes. Tan Chun glared at him angrily. Jia Jing knocked on the table and said: "You will have to shoulder the burden of the second house in the future. Even Brother Huan is not allowed to point at you. In the future,
Second uncle and the others will all rely on you when they get old. You still have two or three years to discuss marriage. Your wife will still have to rely on you by then. You have to think about it. With so many people looking at you eagerly, you
What can we do to feed them?"
Jia Baoyu lowered his head and pondered. It was obvious that Jia Jing's words really entered his heart, which made Baoyu, who was a little impatient, calm down instantly. At the same time, an unprecedented fear arose in his heart. This was a way to face the future.
The fear of the unknown and the confusion of not knowing what to do next made Baoyu silent, and at the same time he felt anxious.
Fortunately, Jia Jing didn't want to drive him crazy, she just gave him a few words when she had nothing to do. Seeing that he was not in a good mood, she immediately smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Take your time, at least you won't have to do it in the next few years."
With so many things to consider, and with your father, brothers and elders supporting you in front of you, you can choose the path you want to take calmly."
Baoyu nodded and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Jia Jing gratefully and said, "Thank you, second brother!" Jia Jing smiled: "We are brothers! What's the point of saying thank you?"
Gao Baoyu gave Jia Baoyu a slice of lotus root. Baoyu couldn't help but nodded gratefully, thinking to himself, I was really confused before because Sister Lin had such disrespectful thoughts towards the second brother! Now it seems that the second brother is really a
What a good man!
Baoyu didn't know that Daiyu beside him also fell into silence at this time. Baoyu was going to get married in two or three years. Baoyu was one year older than himself, and his second brother was three or four years older than Baoyu. Wouldn't the second brother be the two of them?
It’s time to discuss marriage in 2018? Daiyu didn’t know why, but she suddenly became more anxious, her heart felt like it was on fire. Whenever she thought of Jia Jing getting married to another woman, Daiyu felt her nose sour.
My eye sockets are even hotter! It’s really strange!
Daiyu quietly turned her head away, exhaled slowly to suppress the discomfort in her heart. At this time, Tanchun pulled Jia Huan and said, "Second brother, talk about him too!" Jia Huan glanced at him speechlessly.
Looking at Tanchun, Tanchun couldn't help but glare at him, and Jia Jing smiled and said: "Brother Huan is good at everything, but he is still young."
Jia Huan felt very proud, but Tanchun was very disappointed. Jia Jing couldn't help but smile and said: "I'm not trying to prevaricate you by saying this. I heard someone say that Brother Huan is very good at reading. Just continue to study hard."
As for the other things... it will be fine as soon as they are studied in ethnic studies. The nature of the mind changes with the environment..."
