1326, the road to return (4) three in one

The road back (4)

After walking around Liuyunwu, from the door in the mansion to the door leading outside, I realized that this so-called door is just a very small black painted door. It has been repainted, and there is no paint at all.

What to do.

What is outside the door? According to Lin Yutong's memory, going out from this small door is an culvert. The water in the canal goes out from Jia's house. I don't know whose house it has to bypass. Anyway, the canal is covered with a bluestone slab. Follow the bluestone slab.

You have to walk up a narrow alley that is tens of meters long before you can get outside. Outside is where some in-laws of the Jia family who have defected live. It is far away from the bustling Rongning Street.

But one thing is, living here is clean, especially clean.

Shao Hua said: "It's very good." She really felt that it was good. It was like living in her own house.

As for all the houses built on the water, it is definitely damp and cool. Living here will not be comfortable in winter, but it will definitely be cool in summer. Now I can only worry about it.

Enter from the door on this side of Jia's Mansion. The first one you enter is where Lin Yutong lives. Going deeper, the second entrance is where the couple lives. The front of the second entrance is probably to prevent thieves. There are also

There was a row of bungalows built in an open space. This bungalow was regarded as the outer courtyard of the home. Anyway, there was a gate blocking the entrance to where Yao Hua and Yu Liang wanted to live. Close the two doors, and it is very safe to live inside.

Lin Yutong walked around and said it was pretty good.

The place is relatively open and open.

How long can I live in Jia's house? After buying a yard property, I will naturally go out. It's just a borrowed place, so I can make ends meet in this place.

Then he saw a kitchen, and Zhou Rui's family said, "There is room for boiling water and heating food."

Lin Yutong took advantage of the situation and said he would fire. Zhou Rui's family just looked at Ping'er, who laughed: "Go back and ask someone to bring all the rice, flour and oil."

"No need to go to such trouble." Shao Hua pointed outside: "It's more convenient to go out from here. You don't have to ask people to carry heavy grains."

Ping'er stopped insisting, and if he persisted he would look down on others, saying that they couldn't even afford rice, flour and oil.

In fact, after seeing off the servant and carrying the servant on his back, Shao Hua muttered to Lin Yutong: "How much money does my sister still have?"

She touched the bracelet on her hand and pawned it if it didn't work. She really couldn't afford rice, flour and oil! If there were only three people, now everyone in the yard would have to eat.

Lin Yutong laughed: "Sister-in-law, just sit back and get busy making arrangements. When the time comes, when the time comes, the money will naturally come running with legs."

Sure enough, after a while, people giving gifts came in an endless stream.

Jia's mother paid enough attention to the Yu brothers and sisters, and Lin Yutong got the favor of Mrs. Wang, so there were more people who could give face to her. Wang Xifeng said to Ping'er: "That's all. Now I'll take twenty taels of silver."

, a box of copper coins, I asked someone to send them to me. I know that my cousins ​​are not short of these, but it will take time to exchange them for silver notes. I asked them to take them first."

Ping'er laughed and said, "You don't need to warn me, I've already sent someone."

Wang Xifeng sighed: "It's such a good character and appearance, but it's a pity that he didn't end up in the belly of a good man."

There were two gold ingots given by Jia's mother, two boxes of clothing materials given by Mrs. Wang, and silver and copper coins given by Wang Xifeng. Shao Hua's shoulders were relaxed. At any rate, this person was pretending to be fat, and his face was

Fooled.

Mrs. Xing sent another box of handkerchiefs and a box of purses.

Immediately afterwards, the Ningguo Mansion sent another twenty taels of silver, a box of ingredients, some fruits and some dried fruits. Li Wan sent two gold hairpins and two silver hairpins, which were very light and did not cost much gold and silver.

Looks better on the face.

There are also things Baoyu Daiyu Sanchun sent that are ornaments or playthings, but they are just meaningless.

Lin Yutong couldn't handle this money. Her sister-in-law should be in charge of the house, so she was asked to keep it.

Shao Hua was not an unlucky person. He gave Lin Yutong twelve taels of silver ingots and poured out most of the box of copper coins, "...the money in this house is big, and these serving girls should be rewarded for what they deserve. Don't be stingy."

.Your brother and I will try to find ways to get money..."

Of course, these are all things people dare to say behind their backs.

Lin Yutong said: "There are many people at home, so let's ask Bi Cao to follow my sister-in-law. I have enough colored glass and green piano."

Shao Hua was stunned for a moment and realized that she was afraid that the girl in the Jia family couldn't handle it by herself. She accepted her sister-in-law's kindness and said, "Thank you."

Lin Yutong then said: "When we go out to live in the future and buy a girl, you can also give me Hongshan. This girl will have to be more careful when talking in the house from now on. Also, don't shout about things in the house.

Such a girl serves..."

Shao Hua immediately understood that such a thing had to be warned by her sister-in-law. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red. It took her a long time to adjust and discuss with Lin Yutong: "How to return this gift?"

I came here as a refugee and had nothing. I was unprepared when I came, which is understandable. But in the future, I will never act like this is the case.

Therefore, we still need to prepare the things for this return gift. In such a mansion, we can’t afford ordinary things. But with the money in hand now, I don’t know how many days I can live in this mansion. If I use this money to buy things

If you receive a gift in return, what will you do next?

When Yu Liang came back, he was also worried about this.

When he came back, he also brought gifts. Jia She gave him a fan, which is said to be a good thing, but who knows. Jia Zheng gave him a set of four books, nothing else. Jia Zhen was really helpful, saying he would be at home tomorrow.

He put some wine in the house and invited friends to welcome his cousin. Jia Lian gave him an empty favor and said, "If you have any trouble, tell my younger siblings and Sister Yu to just go to me and find your sister-in-law."

Then it was gone.

But as a new arrival, no matter how perfunctory others are, I still have to respect this pier.

I don’t want to spend too much money. At any time, face is not as important as stomach.

With no other choice, Lin Yutong told Yu Liang his idea.

She folded the straw paper and showed Yu Liang the checkers and mahjong games.

Yu Liang's eyes lit up, "I'll do it early tomorrow morning."

Lin Yutong originally wanted to give a few words of advice, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Let's see what he does.

It was getting late, so after a few more words, it was time to go and have a rest.

As expected, the room was not very warm. Even if the charcoal pot was lit, the temperature would not rise.

Lu Qin was busy in and out, waiting for Lin Yutong to wash up, and making the bed and tidying up the house. Liuli, on the other hand, was sitting alone on the couch on one side. Seeing that Lin Yutong was being served, she went to pour a cup of tea to the master.

He walked over and said, "Girl, drink tea." Then he walked over silently. On the couch were Lin Yutong's old clothes. Today, there were clothes delivered to her. She was cutting them to make clothes.

Lin Yutong only looked at it without saying a word. After washing, he went to bed. These girls still have to observe and observe.

Early the next morning, I had to pay my respects, so I had to visit each house and courtyard.

When Lin Yutong got up, the porridge had been cooked on the stove, two or three steamed dumplings, and a few side dishes.

Luqin put the food on the table and said, "It's Mom. I went to the big kitchen yesterday and brought it over temporarily."

Yu’s mother is the mother of the silly eldest sister.

Lin Yutong called Lu Qin: "Give the money to Yu's mother, and ask her to tell grandma how to calculate it, and don't embarrass her."

Luqin was very happy and ran towards the money box.

Lin Yutong noticed Liuli on the side and saw that she didn't even raise her eyes, she was just quietly serving dishes. Lin Yutong liked to eat whatever he liked and didn't like to eat. Soon, she noticed.

She made arrangements for the two girls, "From now on, Luqin will be in charge of the affairs in the house, and Liuli will follow me."

Liuli seemed surprised, but then obeyed.

Both girls are quite satisfied with this arrangement.

Lin Yutong also said that according to the rules discussed with Shao Hua yesterday, people in the yard were not allowed to leave the yard without permission from the master. "Our yard is connected to the outside. If someone spreads something that shouldn't be spread, what shouldn't be seen?"

The person you met has ruined the reputation of the house, and even a few heads are not enough to compensate."

The girls all said yes.

Even Jia Mu said yes, "It has to be like this."

In fact, as long as Lin Yutong doesn't want the servants in the family to be like the Jia family, gossiping everywhere. Otherwise, if the family says something, the whole family will know tomorrow.

After greeting Jia Mu, he followed Mrs.

On the garden. She lived in a remote place, but there were quite a lot of exotic flowers and plants. If she remembered correctly, many of the precious flowers and plants in the Grand View Garden were transplanted from Jia She's place.

If you want to damage these flowers and plants, you can't. The servants in the house are as smart as ghosts. How can they let you take advantage of this?

Lin Yutong just wanted to see what was available here and what was not available here. To be honest, he had never paid attention to this aspect before.

After remembering them all in my mind, I went to Mrs. Wang's place again.

Being led away, it was Aunt Zhao who was holding the curtain over there. When Lin Yutong didn't get there, he blessed Aunt Zhao. Shao Hua quickly followed suit.

Aunt Zhao hurriedly avoided it, returned the gift, and said with a smile: "You look so neat, grandma, come in quickly, madam is waiting for you."

Mrs. Wang said: "Come in quickly, are you still used to staying here last night?"

Looking at Lin Yutong, he asked again what he likes to eat, what to play, and what he does at home. He looked at Lin Yutong's hands and saw that there were calluses on the handle of the needle, and sighed again: "Girl, just use the needle and thread.

, homely is better to chat and laugh with the sisters..."

Lin Yutong responded one by one. When he saw Li Wan, who had been standing behind Mrs. Wang, he had no choice but to go and give her a gift another day. He said he was going to see Wang Xifeng, but he went out to have a wedding banquet and was not in the house. Naturally.

There is no one at Ningguo Mansion either.

After wandering around for a long time, I went back.

Shao Huacai said, "Why don't you wait for your brother and let's eat it ourselves first."

Finally, the food was served, and Yu Liang came back. His face was covered with sweat in the cold weather. He entered the door, took the handkerchief handed over by the girl, wiped it off, and sent the girl out.

Then he took out a banknote and whispered: "Two hundred taels, keep it first. Give your sister all the loose money at home and give her pocket money. You keep the money."

Shao Hua was stunned for a moment and quickly took it. Yu Liang said: "The thing I gave you yesterday has been exchanged for money."

"Ouch!" Shao Hua didn't know what to do when he took the banknote. It was his sister-in-law's idea, but it should be his sister-in-law's in exchange for the money.

Lin Yutong pushed: "Sister-in-law, please take it." She pointed to the girl outside: "With the current situation at home, what is yours and mine? There is no need to give pocket money, as long as it is enough."

Shao Hua insisted on putting several silver ingots in the box and handed them over: "Since there is no need to divide them, you can do whatever your brother says, just hold them."

Yu Liang nodded and talked about the matter: "I'll ask someone to prepare the four-color gift later. I have to go to Mr. Shu's house at the north end of Ningrong Street. I'm grateful to Mr. Heng from that house for helping me today."

Uncle Heng?

Jia Heng?

Fourth Master!

The fourth master has been paying attention these days. When he saw someone coming out here, he set his sights on him. When he saw the person inquiring about information in the teahouse, the fourth master went over. After a few words, he lost his confidence. Yu Liang felt that

This is a member of the Jia family, at least I can rest assured. Then I asked about this antique and sundry ornaments store.

These were in the memory of the original owner, so Fourth Master took the initiative to take them with him.

It turned out that I had an idea to sell checkers and mahjong. There is no technical difficulty in this thing. Once you have a look at it, you can definitely make it yourself. Just make a quick buck and then give it up.

So the fourth master didn't ask Yu Liang to come forward, as it would be too conspicuous. He came forward on Yu Liang's behalf and found a young man from a concubine's house in Shi's family, the Duke of Tui. He told them that he had to save a certain amount of this thing first, and then

Sell ​​it all at once and don't give others time to react. Sell it first and make a profit before talking about it.

That's right! I'll sell three or five pieces here and there. They haven't been made here yet, but they're all over the street over there. Who can I sell them to?

Then this thing was sold for two hundred taels. The Fourth Master also said that it would be okay, and asked him to make a few more out of good wood. They were all experimental products at that time. Let's take a look. The amount given was just enough for Yu Liang to give gifts to each room of the Jia family.

Number of.

In fact, there are games like Pai Gow nowadays, but they are a little different from mahjong. Nowadays, with the improvement, more people like it.

I went out today and got two hundred taels of silver, and I also saved a fortune in gift money.

It can be regarded as revitalizing the whole family.

Yu Liang said: "...That's a warm-hearted person. It can be seen that he really doesn't have any bad intentions."

Shao Hua said quickly: "I will prepare a generous gift later."

The clothing materials at home are all ready-made, and then a few kinds of dried fruits, a few kinds of fruits, and twenty taels of silver will be enough. When she asked, Yu Liang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! You can arrange it."

After dinner, Lin Yutong came out with the box. It was a bit difficult to see the fourth master. But fortunately, now that we go back and forth, we can always hear some news.

To be honest, Fourth Master helped Yu Liang, but Yu Liang also helped Fourth Master solve the problem.

Because there was no money at home, Jia Shu could not keep up with the medicine. Just then, Yu Liang came, bringing twenty taels of silver as a gift.

Because of this incident, Fourth Master suddenly felt that making money was still the top priority.

After buying the medicine, I gave Qian ten taels of silver for the month's expenses, leaving only five taels of silver left.

Looking for money from Tongtong?

Fourth master can't do such a dishonest thing.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jia Ying came in: "Brother, I'm going to call you Shu Xiu in school."

Got it! Two taels are gone again.

Qian said: "Brother Heng, why don't you go to Dongfu? Brother Ying doesn't need to go to a private school outside, you can just study at home. Not to mention saving money, pens, inks, paper and inkstones are also provided."

But Jia Ying is not in the family tree at all now.

In the past, Jia Heng was also honest. He went to the clan to find Jia Zhen again and again for his younger brother to tell him about the genealogy for his younger brother. But they delayed it again and again and dismissed it directly.

After all, I still don’t know if I have violated a taboo.

It doesn't matter that Jia Ying is older than Jia Baoyu. If you don't change after I ask you to do so, then just drag on. The clan will just pretend that you don't exist.

The Fourth Master originally didn't want to do this in a hurry, but now it's actually an opportunity. It doesn't matter if he can't go to family studies, but if he can't go to genealogy, he is a person without a family, and he can't even take the exam. So, this is a A big thing.

He only said: "I have a plan for this matter, so don't worry."

Then Qian had a big heart and really didn't worry anymore.

The fourth master looked at the silver in his hand and saw that there were still three taels left. He avoided the Qian family and gave one tael to Jia Ying. He also called the young lady specially and gave another one tael to the two of them as pocket money. Save.

The two children were happy, but the fourth master only had one tael left in his hand.

I don’t have enough capital to do anything. I originally thought that I could buy some good paper, pens, and ink, and write a word to fool Jia Zheng. But now it is obvious that this approach will not work!

It's okay to do other things, and it's okay if you don't have capital, but the money comes in too slowly. If something unexpected happens at home again, you won't even have any emergency money.

After thinking for a while, I wrote a few prescriptions, and then headed out of the city regardless of the weather.

Today is indeed a bad day. There are snowflakes floating in the air. The snow is fine and broken. Although it is not heavy, it is also very cold. Especially when you go to the mountains outside the city, it is even colder.

The fourth master originally wanted to hire a carriage, but failed to hire a carriage and ran into Liu Xianglian.

In the memory of the original owner, he knew Liu Xianglian. When he heard that Fourth Master was leaving the city, he looked at the sky, dismounted directly, and threw the reins to Fourth Master, "Just bring it over when you're done with it. I'll be in Huiquan today." building."

It was still a borrowed horse when we left the city. If he hadn't met Liu Xianglian, Fourth Master would have actually planned to rent a mule.

Now that you have a horse, it will be much faster to get out.

When we arrived at Xuanzhen Temple, it seemed that the snow outside the city was bigger than that in the city.

On such a snowy day, it was the men of the Jia family who came. In previous years, Jia Heng also came with his peers to wish Jia Jing birthday and New Year greetings, and everyone in the audience knew him. When he saw that he was a man of the Jia family, no matter what happened, he went inside first.

The fourth master had previously exchanged a tael of silver for broken silver and copper coins, so he rewarded the young Taoist priest with a penny of silver and asked him to inform him that there was an emergency.

If there is something urgent, of course Jia Jing will see you.

The fourth master and Taoist Zhang could still be extremely polite for a long time, but with Jia Jing, no matter what, they all occupied a high position. In terms of status, seniority, and knowledge that everyone knew, they could instantly kill the original Jia Jing. Honking.

Besides, is this person easy to fool?

How many of you who have become a Jinshi by your own ability are not smart? Although I am still not sure why this guy is in Xuanzhen Temple. But now that I have something to do, I can't talk nonsense with smart people.

Seeing the gift, he handed over a prescription directly: "Master Jing, take a look at this."

Jia Jing thought it was something in the house, so he frowned and took it over and glanced at it, but unexpectedly raised his eyebrows: "Good word!"

But after reading the contents of the prescription, he stood up after a while: "This prescription..."

"This is a prescription prepared by an expert. It neutralizes the erysipelas in the elixir. It will be beneficial to people without any harm." The fourth master gave him the prescription prepared by Tongtong. Because the medicinal materials are needed

They are both quite expensive, so whoever has nothing to do with the other one should do it. Tongtong himself has many ways to prepare good medicines using commonly used medicinal materials, so the mixture is just a mixture.

Now, if you take a prescription made from ordinary medicinal materials, this person can't believe it. He doesn't have the skills to make it.

Therefore, as soon as I see the medicine on the prescription, I pay attention to it. The more I consider the prescription, the better it becomes.

But soon, he realized that this was not all. The temperature and quality of the medicine were also important. But there was nothing written on the recipe.

Jia Jing put Fang Zi in his arms and looked at Fourth Master: "Brother Heng?"

"Yes." Fourth Master nodded and responded.

"What do you want?" Jia Jing closed his eyes and asked.

Fourth Master took out another stack of paper from his arms: "There are three things."

Jia Jing opened his eyes again, stared at the pile of paper, and then said 'hmm': "Can I do it?"

"It takes a little effort." Fourth Master replied.

"Then tell me." Jia Jing said, staring into Fourth Master's eyes.

The Fourth Master looked at him: "First of all, Master Jing, please help me choose a name for my younger brother. My younger brother has been born for ten years and will be included in the family tree."

Jia Jing frowned. There must be a reason for this. Where is the eleven-year-old child who has not yet entered the genealogy? He frowned, stood up and walked to the small table aside, picked up a pen and wrote the word "flaw", and then took the

She took his private seal, stamped it directly, and handed it to the Fourth Master.

With this thing, Jia Zhen dare not not do it.

The fourth master accepted it. The first thing was accomplished. Then he talked about the second thing: "I want to read the book that the master read that day."

Jia Jing didn't take these things seriously. But he still looked at the Fourth Master twice: "I didn't expect that the Jia family would have such a number one figure like you. That's all! Then I'll write a note and ask someone to take care of it...

…Staying in the house is just a stain on the teachings of Confucius and Mencius."

This is considered acceptable.

Fourth Master separated out half of the paper and handed it over: "This is the refining method, please keep it."

Jia Jing took it and took a look, and he knew it in his heart. It was true. Although he didn't know what the effect of the elixir was, and he didn't really succeed in refining the legendary elixir, but he failed.

I've tried it countless times, but I've never seen it right, but I can tell it's wrong at a glance. If I can't see anything wrong, it's probably right.

He also put away the things, but looked at the other pile in the fourth master's hand: "If there is anything else that is difficult to solve, please tell me."

I want another recipe from Fourth Master.

The Fourth Master put the recipe away calmly and said: "This, I will give it to you next time when I ask you for something." Play the long game and catch the big fish.

"Don't you have three things to ask of me?" Jia Jing stared at the paper, his eyes gleaming.

But the fourth master chuckled: "The third thing is that I don't have enough money to spend it now..."

Jia Jing just stared at the fourth master, and suddenly smiled for a while: "Give me the prescription. Just tell me how much money you want."

The Fourth Master just smiled and said nothing.

Jia Jing understood that he was waiting for him to give as much money as he wanted. If he gave money, it would be regarded as a deposit. Otherwise, it would be hard to say. This was because he wanted money but also wanted to beg himself to do things. There was no such thing.

I thought about giving the rest to myself.

"Good boy." When did the Jia family have such a leading figure?

He didn't even get up, but took a box from under the case and threw it directly to the fourth master: "Go! I'm waiting for you to beg me again."

The Fourth Master took the box without looking at it, and just said: "If you want to wait for the recipe for immortality, it's best not to take your original elixir."

"I don't want to die." Jia Jing replied angrily.

The fourth master really doesn’t want Jia Jing to die so quickly. Many things now have to be passed through Jia Zhen’s hands. Jia Zhen is a ruthless person. It’s just a dream to argue with him. Since it’s all nonsense

If you don’t understand, then it’s no trouble. The boy was as scared when he saw Jia Jing as a mouse is when a cat. If he could invite Jia Jing, he would have to respect, deflect, and coax him.

After leaving Xuanzhen Temple, I got on the horse directly. After entering the city, I went to the bank account first, opened the box and took a look. There were various amounts of banknotes in it, as small as one thousand taels.

enough!

I took out fifty taels and exchanged them for broken silver and copper coins, and returned Liu Xianglian's horse. I went in to ask the shopkeeper and found out that Liu Xianglian and Feng Ziying were drinking upstairs. He didn't notice, and spent ten dollars.

Erliang helped these guys settle their accounts today, told them to help feed the horses, and left directly.

Of course the shopkeeper didn't hide anything, he went in and told the story.

For such a face-saving thing, Liu Xianglian said: "Why don't you come over for a drink?"

The shopkeeper said: "Uncle Heng said that I have something to do at home, so I won't disturb you. I will hold a banquet another day and invite you all."

Over there, Feng Ziying and others asked Liu Xianglian what was the reason for such a nice treat. Liu Xianglian said: "I just borrowed a horse. Originally, I wanted to look at the face of the second brother Lian, who knows he is still a good person.

Man, it’s not like you have the eyes to see Mount Tai.”

Several people said that they would definitely invite us to sit down next time.

Now that he has money, Fourth Master first buys carbon, for his own family, and also buys a lot for the Yu family. He directly calls for it to be delivered.

Shao Hua said, Uncle Heng is really an open-minded person.

Look, I returned someone's gift of twenty taels of silver, but in the end I got a carbon worth more than fifty taels of silver.

Yu Liang felt that it would be disrespectful to say that he was repaying his family's favor. This was a sign that he was planning to have a serious relationship with you. He said, "After we have been busy for a while, we should all go and pay homage to his parents."

Already."

Lin Yutong was still muttering in his heart, thinking that the fourth master didn't know where he got the money.

She knew that Fourth Master must have no money. If he had money, he would have used his name to buy the things that Yu Liang had taken out before at a higher price. She didn't buy them, but helped to make connections. You know

, his money is not as tight as usual.

He was thinking about any chance to hand over the money to the fourth master, and even thought about the possibility of climbing over the wall at night. I didn't expect that he would get the money so quickly.

Okay! As long as you have money and can't bear the sin, that's fine.

The family was settled, and there was no need to worry about food to support the family for the time being, so the Fourth Master took the note in his hand to find Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen did not wait patiently this time, but went to the door in person: "Oh, Brother Heng, I was just saying that I wanted to find you. Come on, come on in."

The fourth master knew that it was probably Jia Jing who wrote a letter asking Jia Zhen to send him a book. This boy was not sure what his father meant.

He said with a bit of fear, "Brother Zhen has broken my little brother."

Jia Rong is 14 or 15 years old this year, about the same age as Jia Heng. She just married Qin Keqing and is still newlyweds.

This guy's child is already so old, almost the same age as Jia Shu. But if he can let go of his body, he can really let his body go.

In the huge Ningguo Mansion, only the courtyard where Jia Jing used to live has a study. The other places have study rooms, which is not enough to shame the ancestors.

Jia Zhen took Fourth Master inside. There was a banquet in the house, with girls and boys coming and going, laughing and joking.

He asked the Fourth Master tentatively: "Have you met the Grand Master?"

The fourth master said: "My father was not feeling well a few days ago, so he asked Taoist Zhang. After thinking about it, he went to ask the master again to see if there was any elixir..."

For this!

"What did the Master say?" Jia Zhen poured the tea for the Fourth Master herself and handed it over, looking very nervous.

The fourth master laughed and said, "I didn't say anything. I just asked about some things in the article. I said I still have some understanding. He also asked if I had studied. Brother Zhen also knows the situation at home. Where can I calm down?"

I'm studying. My father is very ill, and he didn't even include his brother's genealogy." He stretched out his hand and handed over the note: "My grandpa gave me the name, and that's why I came here this time."

Jia Zhen doesn't know how well Jia Heng studies, but if her father likes it, it will always be good. She only gives some books and gives them away, and they will get moldy even if they are left at home.

He raised his hand to take the note, and when he saw the name on it, he thought to himself, this kid has finally figured it out when he grows up. Anyway, he can call him whatever he wants, just don't mess with Baoyu.

So he was very quick and pulled the fourth master to get up. The two of them went to the ancestral hall and added their names to the family tree, and that was it.

When she came out, Jia Zhen said to the fourth master: "Don't blame me, the eldest brother, it's hard for this family."

It means there are ancestors watching above, so it’s not good to make them unhappy.

The Fourth Master politely agreed, saying only polite words such as how to meet strange people. Not long after he came back after saying goodbye, he was sent five carts of books, which filled the entire room. It took some time just to gather them together.

The Jia family lives together as a family, and not everyone knows about the trouble.

The Jia Shu family went to the east mansion to fawn over, and for a while they also followed the rising tide. One came to inquire and another came to greet. Not to mention the women in the inner house, just the men of the Jia family, Jia Chi, Jia Xiao, and Jia Dun.

, Jia Ying, Jia Lin, who are of the same generation, and nephews of the younger generation such as Jia Chang, Jia Ling, Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Qiang, and Jia Rong, all rushed over one by one, and called out when they saw them.

Uncles, everyone started calling themselves sons. They were so close!

When I walked to Ningrong Street, my popularity suddenly improved.

Qian was a little dissatisfied when she just told her family about entering the family tree, just her name. "Obviously Brother Ying is older than Second Master Bao."

The fourth master didn't explain that much to her. There were some truths, but even after he explained them, it seemed that she still couldn't understand. He settled on it, "My nickname is Yingge," he shouted. "When I get older, I can use a second form with Ying."

But now, don’t call me by that name.”

He didn't even think about it, even if he was about to take the exam, his family would have to know about it. If someone really wanted to cause trouble, a bad word could ruin his future.

The eleven-year-old child didn't have much obsession with this, and he was only unhappy for two days. The fourth master said that he would buy a pony, and the matter was completely forgotten.

Lin Yutong heard the news about Fourth Master again, and it was still at Jia Mu's place.

The shop where they bought the drawings made checkers and mahjong and sent them to them, and Lin Yutong and Shao Hua started to return the gifts. Perhaps this is because making such things does not require a whole piece of material, so the things they sent were made of the best materials.

. If you look closely at the texture, it looks like scraps left over from making a large piece of furniture.

The set for Jia Mu is made of ebony. The set for Jia She and Jia Zheng is made of fragrant sandalwood. The set for Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang is made of large-leaf rosewood. The set for Jia Lian and Jia Zhen is made of small-leaf rosewood. The set for You is made of ebony.

The ones used by Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and others are all made of nanmu. For example, the Sanchun Baoyu, Daiyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Lan and the eldest sister are all checkers, carved into flowers and zodiac signs, all made of red sandalwood and willow.

Yes, each one was given a set. Even my aunts made a set of huanghuali that was obviously much smaller, just playable.

You can learn this thing quickly, and you can master it once you get started.

The most lacking thing in the inner house was things to pass the time. These things were given out and started to be played with in Jia Mu's room.

The Pai Gow they used to promote was also played and eaten, but not as comprehensive as this one.

Immediately, a place was opened to play with Jia Mu. Lin Yutong taught this and that.

At the card table, they started chatting. They said that Mr. Jing fell in love with Brother Heng and gave away all his books.

Regardless of what the Jia family says, scholars are actually very rare. As soon as there are some who are favored by the Jinshi master, everyone will definitely look at them twice.

Lin Yutong understood where the fourth master's money came from. It must have been deceived by the fake Taoist priest Jia Jing.

Mother Jia couldn't even remember who Jia Heng was at the moment. When she heard about the family affairs, she sighed. He was also a direct descendant.

Kiss your ass!

According to Wang Xifeng's calculation, there must be five servers.

However, Jia Mu still called Yuanyang: "Send someone to reward my brother with twenty taels of silver and two pairs of clothes, so that he can improve himself. Tell him, don't ask him to come in and kowtow. I'm impatient with these guys."

Yuanyang accepted the order and sent people away.

Then Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang sent people to reward each of them sixteen taels, saying that they did not dare to compare with the old lady.

Lin Yutong couldn't help but want to laugh. She really wanted to see the fourth master's expression when he was rewarded.

After finishing dealing with this side, she thought about it on the way back. She thought to herself that the fourth master had earned all the money back, and she had to find a way to survive the family's life. Now that little money, don't worry.

She said she has bought a house, but even the daily expenses don’t know how long she can last. This one is for her birthday, and that one is celebrating her birthday. Today she has to hold a banquet, so it’s not easy to go empty-handed. Tomorrow, the other one has to enjoy the flowers, so she has to go there.

Bring a souvenir. Calculate the expenses. Can you cope with it?

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to quickly make some money through this lunch box in Jia's house.

Thinking of making money, her heart couldn't help but sway, and she didn't know what was going on in Yangzhou...
