Chapter 273 Who will repair the garden?

It shouldn't be, Qingwen should have appeared as early as when Jia Baoyu was traveling in the illusion to point out the twelve beauties.

That should have been a long time ago, even before Yuanchun became a concubine.

The reason why Jia Qiang remembered this girl was not because she was the most beautiful among the many maids in the Jia family, but because she was the one who died the worst.

After being kicked out of the garden, on the cold straw mat bed, the mother who howled in pain all night, just died...

Qingwen was originally a girl bought by Lai's mother from the family. Later, she often came to Jia's mansion with Lai. Because of her beautiful birth and articulate speech, she caught the eyes of Jia's mother, so Lai gave it to Jia's mother.

Seeing that the maids in the room were all inferior in appearance and speech, Jia Mu thought that Baoyu was the only one worthy of command, so she gave Qingwen to Baoyu.

That being the case, how can Baoyu say that there are only three big girls in his yard, Xiren, Qiuwen and Sheyue?

Just thinking about it in my heart, I saw Xiren coming over with clean clothes, and said with a smile: "This is just cut by my wife during the winter solstice, but the second master thinks it is a little plain, so I haven't worn it all the time. I heard people say that Xiao Qiang Er Master wears plain clothes, so he chose it. Er Master Xiao Qiang, try it first, and if it doesn’t feel right, I’ll change it to another one."

Baoyu saw that she was so considerate and thought she was decent, so he smiled and said: "From now on, you can't call Laoshizi Xiaoqiang Erye, you have to call Houye instead."

Xiren, Sheyue and Qiuwen behind him were all startled when they heard the words, not understanding what it meant.

Baoyu sighed, and said to Jia Qiang, "I saw you last year, and I thought you were pitiful. Brother Xue, Feng Ziying and Qiguan, I lived in a house like that, and we didn't even have a decent pot. We only cook porridge in earthen pots. To help you overcome difficulties, we each pooled five taels of silver, Brother Xue pooled in more, and Ziying also gave you a lot of rice noodles. Who would have expected that even a year The situation is not here yet, not to mention that you have conquered the Eastern Mansion's noble, and even become a Marquis..."

Xiren and the others were amazed, and it was hard to tell whether it was true or false. Jia Qiang also wondered, "You have always hated these things of fame and wealth the most. What's the matter today? Do you want to be a rich man?"

Baoyu said with a broken heart: "If I can be like you, maybe it's Sister Lin..."

Jia Qiang twitched her mouth when she heard this, patted Baoyu on the shoulder, and said, "Don't think that she is someone who is greedy for wealth and honor. Before today, what am I? Baoyu, I don't want to preach to you, nor do I Pointing fingers at others. But now that I am the patriarch of the Jia clan, and the prince of the East Mansion, because I see that the entire clan, except Jia Yun, at least you will not be held back by evil, so I will say a few more words, are you willing to listen? no?"

Baoyu stared blankly at Jia Qiang, nodded slowly and said, "Go ahead."

Jia Qiang said "En", and sorted out her thoughts a bit, and said, "You are not bad at heart, but you have been disciplined by the master and wife since you were young, so you are soft-tempered. This is not a bad thing, but once a catastrophe happens, It's hard for you to hold up a world to protect those who need your protection. For example, they..."

Jia Qiang pointed to Xiren and the others with complex expressions, and said: "If the Jia family is defeated now, their home is raided, there is no official title, no source of income, can you still protect them? Let's The cheapest thing for a man is gentleness that is useless. A man is upright, and as a man, even if he doesn't fight for fame and wealth, he must be able to protect the people around him, right?"

Baoyu couldn't help but said, "Can't I protect them?"

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "If the wife said now, which one of them is not good, and someone pulls them out to match the boy, can you protect them?"

Baoyu was immediately frustrated when he heard the words, but Jia Qiang stopped talking.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

I said this only because when he was in trouble, Baoyu gave him five liang of silver to help him.

As for listening or not, let him go.

"what are you doing?"

Jia Qiang took the clothes and was about to change. Seeing that Baoyu was going to follow, she couldn't help frowning and asked.

Baoyu sighed and said, "Don't you want to change your clothes? I'll help you look..."

"Look at your uncle!"

Jia Qiang scolded with a smile: "Go, go, I don't even need the maids in your yard to change clothes, so I still use you? I am different from you in this respect. I have no interest in the love of Longyang. How dare you Come in and I will beat you, get out!" After saying that, while the attackers and others were dumbfounded, he went into the inner room to change clothes.

"vulgar!"

Baoyu blushed when she heard the words, and stomped angrily behind her.

Not long after, Jia Qiang came out, dressed in a moon-white robe with dark patterns of silver silk and tufted flowers, which made him look even more slender and handsome.

Perhaps it was because of the news that Jia Qiang was granted the title of Marquis just now, when Xiren and the others saw Jia Qiang, they felt that he was beyond words.

"Let's go, go and see what the old master of your family is up to with your uncle."

Jia Qiang rolled up her sleeves and smiled at Baoyu.

Baoyu's complexion, which had just calmed down, suddenly flushed red because of this sentence, and he was almost ashamed and dared not look up.

He had a ghost in his heart, but he didn't expect that Jia Qiang already knew something...

Seeing him like this, Jia Qiang laughed and said, "It has nothing to do with you, why are you ashamed? Don't forget, my surname is Jia too!"

Baoyu felt better when he heard the words, shook his head and sighed: "You have also seen that I have no control over family affairs..."

"I understand, so I won't blame you, let's go!"

……

In Honor Hall, the sisters had retreated to Xinuang Pavilion to rest.

Mother Jia sat in the upper seat, next to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue invited from Lixiangyuan.

After "surviving" last night, Xue Pan's health improved rapidly, which made Aunt Xue Hai heave a sigh of relief.

She is the sister of Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Wang, there is a happy event in Jia's house, since she is in Jia's house, they invite her together.

The women had one table alone, and the men another.

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Wang Ziteng, Lin Ruhai, Jia Lian, and Baoyu were not qualified to sit on the table, but since Jia Qiang wanted to sit on the table, he alone was not good-looking, so Jia Lian and Baoyu were also allowed to sit on the table.

There was a table full of good dishes, and in front of Du Lin Ruhai was a good medicinal meal.

After Qi Qi was seated, Jia's mother smiled and said: "Brother Qiang has made great achievements today, the emperor in the palace has promoted him to a noble, and made him a first-class marquis. This is a great joy for our Jia family. Also, I invited my aunt and wife to come, we are all a family, let’s celebrate together.”

Except for Jia Amnesty, everyone else raised their glasses and drank the wedding wine together.

In Xinuang Pavilion, Tanchun asked Daiyu in a low voice, "Sister Lin, what is the rank of the first class?"

Daiyu said unhappily: "If you ask the question knowingly, it is naturally super class."

She didn't believe that Tanchun, who had read a lot of classics and history, would not know about this.

Sure enough, Tanchun smiled badly again and said, "The Marquis, what grade is it?"

Even Baochai, who came with Aunt Xue, has been haggard for the past two days, and laughed out loud when he heard this remark.

Daiyu's pretty face was flushed, and she gritted her teeth and cursed: "I've learned from you, the third girl who has rotted your mouth, and now I've learned how to do it too, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

Tan Chun hurriedly dodged and begged for mercy: "My good sister, please forgive me for this! I congratulate you!"

"Pooh!"

There was a commotion here, but Xiangyun sat next to Baochai, and laughed softly: "Sister Bao, how did I hear that your brother entrusted you to Qiang when something bad happened to him..."

Before she finished speaking, Baochai covered her mouth, stared at her almond-shaped eyes and said: "Stop talking nonsense, be careful."
