The Red Mansions

Chapter 73 I Want To Be Rich

"I used to practice with my grandfather at home, but it's different from the young master's boxing style." Bi'er shook her head lightly and said.

Jia Heng was surprised for a moment, but then suddenly realized that the girl in front of her was from a place like Shandong, and she knew some boxing skills, but it was nothing, so she said: "This is my internal boxing style, and I have absorbed some of the power of Wing Chun. Skills, the boxing techniques you learned before are quite different."

Withholding her punches, she looked at the servant girl, Bi Er, and saw that with her diet and nutrition in the past few days, the little girl's cheeks were not as sallow as before, but her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes were completely ignorant of the numbness and dullness of a servant, but also a little bright , his heart moved, and he asked: "How long have you been practicing boxing, let me see if you do a set."

Bi'er was silent for a while, and said: "My sister and I have been practicing boxing with my grandfather since we were seven or eight years old. My sister practiced boxing for two or three years and was busy with washing and cooking, so it was useless. I practiced for about four or five years, and then the year before last Grandpa No, after that, the crops in the fields were not good year after year, and my father said that he would eat too much and eat a lot when practicing boxing, so he wouldn't let me practice every day."

Poor and rich in martial arts, practicing boxing naturally eats a lot. Shandong and Henan have been suffering from severe drought for years, and poor people have no strength to use it in the fields. It seems strange to let a little girl boxing.

Jia Heng said: "No wonder."

In order not to be separated from her sister, this girl escaped repeatedly. If she didn't have a bit of wit and skill, it would not be so easy to escape from a big family with servants and servants who are closely guarded.

When Jia Heng thought about this, the thoughts in his heart became more and more intense. This maid, Bi'er, has martial arts skills, so if she makes some adjustments and stays by Keqing's side to protect him, it will also reassure him a lot.

There is no way, the daughter-in-law is too beautiful to be coveted.

Especially last night, he really realized what a peerless beauty is to this beautiful wife. Even if he is self-sufficient and resolute, it is inevitable that he will be a little bit greedy for that tenderness and softness.

Considering that once Jia Zhen is abolished, she is bound to harbor resentment, and the revenge will become more violent. He himself does not need to worry, even if Jia Zhen does not come to look for him, he will still be victorious and brave to pursue the poor.

But sometimes he reads books and prepares for exams in Wencui Pavilion, and there is always something that the family can't take care of, so Qin Keqing has to keep people by his side.

As for the maids Bao Zhu and Rui Zhu, these two maids are powerless, and their temperament... To be honest, he still has some doubts about it.

"Besides, it doesn't work if you don't have a lot of entrances. People coming and going in this courtyard, if they meet guests, it's hard to avoid them. If you can't come to a guest, just meet Keqing face to face. It's really inappropriate."

For example, in Jia's family, it is impossible for his wife to show his face unless he is a relative. The wife usually receives the other party's female relatives in the back house.

Unless the whole family is good, or relatives of the same clan, they are more relaxed in avoiding taboos.

"If you want to buy a double-entry house with a cross-yard in Shenjing, you need at least 1000 taels of silver. This is still in a remote location." Thinking of this, Jia Heng secretly remembered this, and looked up at the maid Bi. Son, smiled and said: "You can practice boxing and kicking with me in the future, and then serve the young mistress."

When Bi'er heard this, her expression froze, her almond eyes sparkled, and she said crisply: "My lord, what about my sister, my sister can also practice boxing."

Jia Heng smiled and said, "Your sister should come over too."

He thought to himself, this rough maid only bought two, and they were gone in a blink of an eye.

However, the matter of buying a house should indeed be put on the agenda. In other words, it is still the manuscript of "Three Kingdoms". I will quickly write out the next few chapters, and then hand it over to Hanmozhai for engraving and printing. Improve the living environment.

By the time I washed my face, it was already the hour of the morning. In the side room, Aunt Cai had already prepared the meals, and in the room, the two servant girls, Baozhu and Ruizhu, who hadn't slept well all night, also got up rubbing their dark circles.

The two servant girls glanced at each other, their cheeks flushed red, listening to the movement on the bed through the screen last night was quite tormenting.

Jia Heng asked, "Has grandma woke up?"

"Grandma is awake." Baozhu said softly.

And on the bed in the inner room, Qin Keqing was putting on her clothes, feeling weak all over, she put away the bright red plum blossom hipkerchief below, and put it into the mandarin duck wooden box beside her.

The beauty with scattered clouds and a radiant complexion stood up, but hissed slightly, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her beautiful eyes were mixed with shame and joy.

After all, Jia's family didn't have a high hall to serve, and they didn't have to go to offer tea early in the morning, which saved the bride from suffering.

Qin Keqing was leaning against the head of the bed at this moment, the brocade quilt slipped off, revealing her round and smooth shoulders, she closed her eyes slightly, the gentle scene from last night seemed to emerge in her mind, recalling some embarrassing scenes, her snowy cheeks became hot again, stretching to the earlobe.

"Husband, he...it's true, he actually asked me about the date of heaven last night." Qin Keqing felt a little shy when thinking of the appearance of her beloved whispering in her ear.

But last night, Jia Heng thought of Qin Keqing not being able to get pregnant early when she was only sixteen or seventeen, so she came up with a contraceptive method.

At Jia Heng's current age of [-] or [-], if he had a child, it would not be a good thing for him or Qin Keqing.

After waiting for a while, the two maids, Baozhu and Ruizhu, had already washed up, went into the room, and said with a smile: "Master asked grandma to get up for dinner."

After saying that, she helped Qin Keqing get up and dress up.

In front of the dressing table, gold hairpins and cloud temples are reflected in the bronze mirror. She has a beautiful and gorgeous face, with shame and joy overflowing between her brows and eyes. She has begun to see the charm of a new woman. Qin Keqing put on a jasper bracelet, The lotus root arms of the bullying Shuang Saixue are reflected in green and white, just like the fate after Yi Ren rewritten it.

Under the service of Baozhu and Ruizhu, Qin Keqing left the wing room, washed up, and then came to the hall, her eyes as soft as water met the young man's eyes as warm as the sun of early winter.

"Ke Qing, come and sit down." Jia Heng said with a chuckle.

Qin Keqing came over and sat down beside Jia Heng.

"I've really wronged you with simple tea and light food." Jia Heng handed over a pair of chopsticks and said to Qin Keqing.

At the moment, on the round table, there are four side dishes, together with a soup, rice and eight-treasure porridge.

Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were as bright as water, she stared at Jia Heng, and said, "Husband, this is much richer than what I used to eat in my family."

Baozhu also smiled and said: "Grandma is at home, and she is not the kind who pays attention to luxury and extravagance. Come here..."

Qin Keqing's charming Liu Yemei frowned, and interrupted: "Baozhu, what is at home, here? This will be my home from now on."

Looking at the charming Qin Keqing, Jia Heng's eyes became more gentle, and he understood Qin Keqing's "sharp" temperament in his heart.

Secretly thought, as expected of being able to play with Sister Feng.

It was like this in ancient times, blind marriage and dumb marriage, marriage first and then love.

However, in the wing room where Aunt Cai lived, Yan'er, the maid who was eating with a bowl, glanced in surprise at Qingwen, who was holding the bowl with chopsticks, with bright eyes like black grapes.

Bi'er picked up a piece of deep-fried golden tofu and stuffed it into her mouth, winking at her sister, signaling not to touch Qingwen's bad luck.

Noticing the eye contact between the two sisters, Qingwen snorted softly, put the chopsticks on the bowl, turned around and left, not knowing what it was like, anyway, she just couldn't eat.

A few days ago, she was still eating and sitting with the young master, but these few days she was "sent" to the side of these two servant girls.

It's not that she's jealous, she's not a grandma, but she's always a little depressed.

Bi'er picked up a piece of chicken, put it in Yan'er's bowl, pouted her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Sister, she won't eat it, you should eat more, you see you are so thin, the bones on your face are protruding, I will I told you, Young Master, to let you practice boxing too."

Obviously, the two sisters are a little afraid of Qingwen.

Yan'er nodded, picked up the chicken, and ate it like a squirrel.

Today's life is unimaginable. Not only can I have enough to eat, but I don't have to be beaten or scolded. She really doesn't understand why sister Qingwen is so sad?
Jia Heng and Qin Keqing finished their meal and rinsed their mouths. Jia Heng smiled and said: "Ke Qing, you can take a walk in the courtyard first, so as not to accumulate food. I'll go to the study."

He planned to take advantage of these few days of free time to hand in the first round of the Three Kingdoms manuscript. As more people were imported, he already felt the urgency of improving the living environment.

This matter is especially above the complete crucification of Jia Zhen.

Qin Keqing doesn't admire wealth and honor, and is willing to accompany him through hard times, but he can't take it for granted. Now that he has married, he will naturally fulfill the promise he cherished in his heart, "Since you are willing to be poor and humble, I would like to share wealth and honor together".

Now, the family's two maids, Yan'er, sister Bi'er, and Aunt Cai live in the same house, while Baozhu and Ruizhu live in the west room of the five main rooms.

The wing room he lives in is a study and a bedroom, and is divided into two by a screen. It is indeed a bit cramped.
