dream of red mansion

So Jia Qing walked in the front and took a group of people on board.

The ancient shipbuilding technology should not be underestimated. Although this lucky ship is not as huge as the ships of later generations, it is not a problem to carry more than a hundred people, and it is very stable for people to walk on it.

Jia Qing lived on the second floor, and the first floor was mainly for the boatmen and servants.Jia Qing took a look, on the second floor, apart from the main house in the middle where he lived, there were four or five wing rooms and a few board rooms for his followers.

The wing room is usually for guests, and there is only one bed in it. Jia Qing plans to reserve one for Liu Xianglian and one for Jia Yun.

The remaining few board houses were occupied by Li Yan, Wang Shun and the four strong men.As for Lai Sheng, he was in charge of scheduling and could only live on the first floor.

"Second Uncle, we're here!"

Just as Jia Qing and the others settled the room, Jia Yun's voice came from downstairs.When Jia Qing walked out of the room, he saw Jia Yun, Liu Xianglian and another person downstairs being blocked by Lai Sheng at the mouth of the boat.Jia Yun was ordered by Jia Qing to pick up Liu Xianglian.

Lai Sheng knew Jia Yun, but he didn't know the details of the other two, so he wouldn't let them in.

Seeing this, Jia Qing said: "Boss Lai, they are all friends I invited, let them come up quickly!"

In this way, Lai Sheng had no objection, and led the people to retreat, and then Jia Yun brought Liu Xianglian and another person straight to the second floor.

The person who came with Jia Yun was Ni Er, known as Drunk King Kong, who was invited by Jia Yun.After taking the three of them to their respective rooms to settle down, Jia Qing prepared some small dishes and drinks in his own room and invited them to come over for a talk.

Jia Qing's room is the widest in the whole ship. It is divided into two compartments inside and outside. The inside is a bedroom and the outside is a small living room.The small living room is designed for the host to invite friends to drink tea and chat.

Jia Qing asked them to sit down in the small living room, when Lai Sheng came up to ask for instructions: "Second Master, everything is ready, can we sail?"

Jia Qing had no one to wait for, so he said, "Let's drive!"

"Yes"

After Lai Sheng left, Jia Qing first raised his glass to Ni Er and said, "I've heard about your reputation as a drunken king for a long time, and today I have a chance to meet you, Qing Xian will toast you!"

He drank it while talking.

It was the first time for Ni Er to deal with such an honorable person as Jia Qing, and he was not used to it, but he was proud of himself, and raised his glass to each other, saying: "Second Master, I'm a rough man, and I can't speak nice words. Thanks to Er Ye who can see Ni Er, I, Ni Er, know nothing but loyalty. Brother Yun is familiar with me, and he asked me for help, so I have no reason not to come."

After speaking, I also had a drink.The last time he followed Jia Yun to Yangzhou to do business, he got a large sum of money, so he moved his mind. This feeling of earning money in an upright manner is much more secure than the interest money he puts in the casino.If he could, he wanted to follow Jia Yun to do things for Jia Qing. Seeing today that Jia Qing didn't have the arrogance of those nobles, but treated him like a rascal with such courtesy, he became more concerned.

Jia Qing didn't know what Ni Er was thinking, he just wanted to leave someone available for Jia Yun.For this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, Jia Yun will not be able to come back for the time being. If he wants to stay there to work, he still needs reliable people by his side.

"Okay, Brother Ni is really proud."

After Jia Qing finished speaking, he stopped looking at him, and after inviting everyone to have a drink together, he turned to Liu Xianglian and asked, "Brother Liu, are you satisfied with the place where you live?"

The wing room he arranged for him was next to the main house.There is a big master, of course, it is more practical to keep by your side.

Liu Xianglian replied: "Very well, brother, take your troubles."

"Haha, it's a great pleasure to be able to go to the south of the Yangtze River with Brother Liu!"

The ensuing conversation is suitable for both the host and the guest.However, Jia Qingjiu was not strong enough, he became dizzy after a few drinks, and he was a little unsteady after drinking a few more drinks forcibly.

In this way, several people had to break up and went back to their houses to rest.Jia Qing was also led in by Xieluan to have a rest.

......

Although the boats of this era were driven by human power, at least they did not rely on oars, but placed a large number of driving devices in the cabin at the bottom to maximize the human power.The lucky boat that Jia Jing arranged for Jia Qing is a better ship in this era, so the sailing is quite fast.

However, after more than ten days of effort, they arrived at the boundary of Yangzhou.

Jia Qing's life on the boat was also very pleasant. When he was free, he went to practice martial arts with Liu Xianglian. Although he hadn't made much progress, but fortunately, after he was tired from training, he returned to the house, and there was a gentle and considerate maid waiting for him to take a bath and rest... ..

Jia Qing never tired of it.

At dusk, when Jia Qing came back from Liu Xianglian's place, he had just washed up and was about to eat the dinner brought by the servants below, when he heard Jia Yun's voice: "Second Uncle, my nephew please greet Second Uncle..."

Jia Qing was a little impatient.This Jia Yun didn't know which sutra was wrong, since these days, she must come to pay his respects to him every morning and evening. If Jia Qingren is not in the house, he will wait outside.

Shengsheng regards Jia Qing as his ancestor, so what if he wants to have a morning and evening meditation?

Jia Qing had told him not to come more than once, but he still came regularly every day.Xu Shi could also see Jia Qing's impatience, now he doesn't ask to see him anymore, he just comes outside Jia Qing's room every day to say...

Anyway, if it doesn't affect him, Jia Qing will follow him.

Peifeng next to him said with a giggle, "Brother Yun is really filial, Second Master, you don't respond to him~"

Jia Qing ignored people, Xie Luan knew some etiquette, every time Jia Yun came over, she would go out on Jia Qing's behalf and tell him to go back.

Looking at Xie Luan who turned back, Jia Qing said: "Why are you ignoring him? I told him not to come, but he just doesn't listen. Why are you ignoring him?"

Xieluan said: "how can the second master be like an elder? It's a courtesy for the younger generation to come to say hello. If you don't like it, forget it. At any rate, send someone a word. It's considered an answer. People like you who don't care What do you mean? Thanks to my brother Yun's patience, I won't get angry even if you, my second uncle, make things difficult."

The tone seemed to regard Jia Yun as a junior.

Jia Qing sneered and said: "He is flattering me! But I don't know that I hate these vain rituals the most. As long as he does what I tell him well, can I still treat him badly? Hmph, at a young age, it's true Very slick."

Pei Feng interjected: "Second master is not ashamed, brother Yun is older than you, and you still say that he is young..."

Jia Qing didn't ignore Peifeng, but he didn't hate Jia Yun to greet him as much as he said. After all, it showed that Jia Yun respected him in his heart.He just felt that greetings were too frequent, which affected his normal life.

However, in the Rongguo Mansion, there are so many descendants of Jia Mu, and the number of people who come to pay her respects every day may be too many to count, so why don't they bother her?

Xie Luan said: "Second Master really has a weird temper, and he also said that Brother Yun is naughty. It's not surprising that there are many people who are polite. Besides, Brother Yun still came according to the etiquette. What's wrong?"

The ancient people's emphasis on etiquette is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Xie Luan has been following Jia Qing for four or five years, but he still hasn't been able to get rid of these deep-rooted things...

Having said that, these things are also things that he can't violate at present, so he didn't get entangled in them anymore, and said: "Okay, let's not talk about him, this is going to Yangzhou Mansion soon, you should find sister Lin's things first, I will take it to see Uncle Lin tomorrow.

You can also go around Yangzhou city tomorrow, I asked Lai Sheng to arrange some people to follow you. "

Pei Feng said: "Take us out to play after you come back, Second Master."

Jia Qing also had dinner at this time, took the handkerchief handed over by Xie Luan, wiped his hands, and then said: "I'm afraid I can't stay in Yangzhou for too long, I want to save time to go to Nanjing to do something, to attend After the essay meeting, I will go home. If you want me to play with you, you can only go to Nanjing to have another chance."

Xie Luan simply tidied up the table, and later someone will come up and take it down for disposal, so she doesn't need to send it down.So she also sat down and said: "Then let's go to Nanjing City to talk about it. It's troublesome to mobilize people just for us. We can also enjoy the scenery of Yangzhou on the boat."

"Alright, let's visit Yangzhou City on our return trip." Jia Qing said.

Seeing that she couldn't go to Yangzhou City tomorrow, Peifeng's interest was a little low, but thinking that the second master's business was more important, she let it go, and said, "Second master has nothing to do now, right?"

Jia Qing said: "What?"

"Then let's play catch the thief!

Chapter 81 The Lucky Boat Encounters Miracles at Night

"Second Master, do you smell something..."

Jia Qing obeyed Pei Feng's words, and the three master and servant went to Jia Qing's bed, each wrapped in a quilt, and played cards.I don't know how many rounds we played, Peifeng suddenly said to Jia Qing suspiciously.
