The patriarch of the Red Mansion is so handsome

Jia Zhen was so angry that she chased Bao Mian to explain.

Bao Mian looked at Jia Zhen who was alive and well in front of him, and recalled his nightmare of being frightened—in fact, it was not a nightmare, but he watched Jia Zhen practice hard day after day after her martial arts was abolished.It's just that he watched Jia Zhen hammering on the wooden stake, bleeding from both hands, and finally crumbling, and the moment when she fell to the ground exhausted, that moment...

Taking a sneak peek at Jia Zhen, Bao Mian felt his face was a little hot.At that moment, he suddenly had the urge to be an elder.Became a elder in the pavilion and holds great power in his hands. If Jia Zhen joins the martial arts in the future, he will be able to help others.

Jia Zhen didn't understand, so she poured a cup of tea and handed it over, intending to let someone moisten her throat and explain the problem of eating well.

Anyway, he also wanted to have a frank and honest talk, and since he happened to talk about it today, he naturally wanted to talk about it with all his heart and soul.

"Thank you." After taking the teacup and moistening his throat, Bao Mian leaned on the soft pillow and looked at Jia Zhen who was sitting at the end of the bed with her legs crossed and a bad face. After a long silence, she slowly talked about her financial plan : "You can't be too lonely in the officialdom. Some unspoken rules, such as carbon respect and ice respect, I still accept. Of course, as the head of a government, I also need to deal with various departments, but generally speaking, I still earn more money. Based on my current position as governor, I estimate that I can earn 5000 taels a year. Plus the governor’s salary, gracious salary, etc., the total is about 3000 taels of silver. But with 3000 taels of income, I still have some About 500 taels can be left for the expenses of human relations. Therefore, my annual net income is 6000 taels."

Jia Zhen had no objection to this, and urged people to say the key points: "Even if according to your wrong concept, you have to take on the task of supporting the family alone, but not only the filial piety you receive, but the salary income, according to your Plan, isn’t there still 500 taels? Is this enough? Don’t think I don’t know about firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. There are so many people in my Jia’s martial arts gym, and the kitchen purchases in a year don’t even cost [-] taels!”

"It's only two thousand for kitchen purchases!" Bao Mian was depressed, "And our life is not only food, not to mention books and the like, we must always consider the daily necessities of life, right? And you are also good at martial arts, such as consumption of knives, guns, swords and halberds. It’s also very big. More importantly, if you have a family, you can still live in the government office, but you always want to have your own home.”

Hearing the last sentence, Jia Zhen suddenly felt her heart beating a little faster, and the girl's heart burst out of the tease.Those bright eyes, that sincere expression, that...

The more he looked, he felt like his heart had run away from home.Although Bao Mian didn't love him very much yet, he found that he seemed to like him more.

Bao Mian's plans for the second half of his life really touched his heart.

With a soft voice, Jia Zhen held back her voice, and asked as calmly as possible: "Since you have thought so far, why don't you consider mine? I am also a wealthy person! Even if I hold you From that wrong concept, both parties in this marriage have dowry and dowry."

Hearing this, Bao Mian glanced at Jia Zhen, but he didn't pay attention to the erroneous concept that Jia Zhen emphasized twice in a row, and only grabbed another key word - net worth, so he couldn't help showing a bit of entanglement on his face, cautiously and secretly Glancing at Jia Zhen, he whispered: "As far as I know, your martial arts school is still in a state of loss."

— This is the reason why he is very cautious.The daughter-in-law can eat and eat, but she doesn't know how to manage it.

Jia Zhen did not deny this reality, but she still explained seriously, "But with Jindandantuan, we can still maintain a normal income and expenditure. And in the blink of an eye, it has been three years since the first batch of students graduated. It’s good to have a good reputation. Opening the school, I lost a little money at the beginning, but looking at the world, I am the only one in the martial arts school.”

"...Do you still know that it is all supported by golden egg balls? What kind of treatment is your kitchen? Ronger never forgot to bring you two Northeast cuisine chefs back when she went to Harbin. It is said that your martial arts kitchen has eight major cuisines. Do you have them all?"

"That's not for the purpose of opening chef classes and cultivating skills." Jia Zhen replied confidently, but also aggrieved: "I'm not picky about food, basically white rice and steamed buns are enough to fill my stomach."

Bao Mian: "..."

Looking at the silent Bao Mian, Jia Zhen thought for a while, then changed her words silently, "Yes, I... When I have the conditions, I eat more exquisite food. But this exquisiteness has something to do with Rong'er, this prodigal son is picky eaters Ah, his aunt dotes on him too! Basically, she relies on Jia Yu's dowry..."

While talking, Jia Zhen also felt a little embarrassed.Since the opening of the martial arts gym, serious business, large-scale business has already done Jia Amnesty's order!

The next step is basically cheap labor. The students act as volunteers, catching cats and chopping firewood for the common people, and helping the yamen maintain order during holidays. As for him, the head of the regiment, it seems that he has been working for the emperor for nothing.

"Wait!" Jia Zhen was thinking, and suddenly her complexion turned black: "In the blink of an eye, it has been two years. I have never seen my salary since I was the deputy commander of the Beijing Army and Horse Battalion!"

Jia Zhen was furious, "Although it seems that there is not much money, you can't give me ambiguity!"

It was rare to see Jia Zhen's childish and aggrieved appearance, and Bao Mian couldn't help but "puchi" laughed. You must know that the other party has always been one-man and one-man, and his aura is compelling.But looking at Jia Zhen's resentful, depressed and somewhat pitiful eyes when he turned his eyes, Bao Mian's head almost fell in love with the quilt.

He just seemed too inappropriate.

With a blushing face, Bao Mian opened his mouth and persuaded softly: "Don't worry, no one dares to ignore your salary. Even if you have been interviewed many times, but the official department's assessment, they dare not give you a middle evaluation. Wait. As for the salary, why don't you write a letter back and ask Rong'er."

"Okay." Jia Zhen responded, and sat forward silently, admiring Bao Mian's face like a peach blossom, trying her best to maintain her unhappy mood, angrily: "But in the future, I will belong to you under the name of Jiangnan Governor Right? When it’s time to pay the salary, just give it to me!”

Hearing this, Bao Mian just wanted to explain the payment of the salary, but when he raised his eyes, he met Jia Zhenwang's gaze and nodded blankly, "I will give you the salary too. I don't spend much money , apart from human relations, the books cost a little money. But..."

Bao Mian was a little embarrassed to say, "But since I became the prince Shaofu, I can freely enter the Imperial Academy and the Royal Library, so I don't buy books very much. Also, Mr. Xi also gave me a lot of lonely copies, Song... Master Song I’m also welcome to visit his study, and I can copy some of the rare copies.”

Others said that Jia Zhi was lucky, but in fact, thinking about it, he was also lucky as a master.

"I didn't count Zhi'er's Shuxiu, because I want to save the money for her as a dowry. Even..." Bao Mian said bitterly, "Even if she is a princess now. But a teacher for a day will be a teacher for a lifetime. Father, I can't give ten miles of dowry, but I can save as much as I can."

"That's natural." Jia Zhen looked at Bao Mian's bitter face, and felt that she was getting cuter, so she smiled.

Facing Jia Zhen's gaze, Bao Mian suddenly felt his scalp go numb. The originally dark eyes seemed to be a little brighter than before, as if they could suck people in. He couldn't help blinking, and then looked around Glancing over, he opened his mouth, with a trill that he didn't even notice, "You...you...you also tell me...is there anything wrong with you?"

"That's true." Jia Zhen said while moving her body a little closer to Bao Mian, "Now let's talk about your misconceptions."

"Wrong concept?" Hearing this word again, Bao Mian recalled the previous two times, and frowned tightly.What is he doing wrong?

"First, let me talk about the simplest one. The composition of a family is not made by you alone. It is not completely correct that the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. Especially when it is formed like ours." Jia Zhen looked complex. He said solemnly: "Since you have included me in the plan for the rest of your life, you have not included my earning ability, but you are also worried about my losses. This is not possible. A family needs contributions from both parties."

Bao Mian was a little confused.Although the mistresses of the aristocratic families can manage general affairs, the real main force of making money is still the elders who are outside.Since he wants to be responsible to Jia Zhen, and feels sorry for Jia Zhen who needs to start all over again, he naturally wants to let him have no worries.Where can people work on this?

Bao Mian originally wanted to explain one or two things, but when he saw that Jia Zhen spoke seriously and said that she was a young money-maker with a high face, he sighed a little: that's all, in the end, he will pamper him more in the future.

Who knew that Bao Mian didn't have any sympathy with him at all, and was still complaining about him silently, Jia Zhen told Bao Mian very sincerely that she had a good way of making money: "I think about it, yes, even though the official position is low nowadays, I also I have never mixed with other colleagues, and the unspoken rules of filial piety do not take me. However, today is quite generous, and the matter of facilitating the peace agreement, even though I was demoted on the surface, it gave me a lot of rewards. Moreover, I can also hunt, I went to the Northeast, I hunted a lot of furs, and even dug some ginseng. Thinking about it, it’s also money!"

After finishing speaking, Jia Zhen scratched her head, "Of course, my family property is not as rich as yours now. After all, Jia's family has been copied, and I will not touch the turtle's dowry. Some of the property in the turtle's dowry is also Rong Rong's." Damn, I won't move either. But we live together, if you want any rare books, antique calligraphy and paintings, I still have the ability to buy them."

"Don't work too hard, now you have to learn everything from the beginning, don't push yourself too much." Bao Mian was worried when he heard the last sentence, "I just mentioned it by the way, in fact, I don't like these treasures very much. It’s just for banquets and exchanges, in comparison, I still like to read "Winning Injustice Collection" in my spare time."

After finishing speaking, afraid that Jia Zhen would still be entangled, Bao Mian urged, "Just now you said the first point, what about the second point?"

Resisting the thoughts of a virtuous husband, Jia Zhen obeyed, "Second, it is the most wrong point, I hope you can reverse it, being responsible is indeed a good quality, but I hope you can like me, it is love .”

As soon as these words came out, it was no less than a thunderbolt from the blue sky, instantly shaking Bao Mian a little out of his wits, stammering: "Love?"

"Just like you think about official business from the bottom of your heart, you have to think about me all the time." Jia Zhen said very firmly, with a strong smell of jealousy.

Hearing this analogy, Bao Mian was still a little surprised, feeling that he couldn't understand it.In fact, he was very distressed and wanted to protect Jia Zhen, but this love was not enough to make him think about Jia Zhen during his official duties.

"Love... the love you want..." Bao Mian carefully glanced at Jia Zhen: "No... no... it can't be you and that...then who is that?"

Hearing this, it was Jia Zhen's turn to feel that she had been cut to pieces.

Looking at Jia Zhen's quietness, Bao Mian felt that he was too undeserved. With red ears, he said, "Yes... I'm sorry. That's because of police illusions. You are still very good. I think that after your prodigal son turns back , very good." So good that he felt a little pitiful.

If it weren't for the gods in the sky who were so idle and playing around, Jia Zhen's life path might be like that of Song Xueci and Mr. Song.

The sound of good came from next to her ear, which made Jia Zhen sigh a long time. Fortunately, she grabbed her long arm and put her hand on Bao Mian's shoulder. "I also told you what happened in the heaven. Emperor Ziwei didn't say it in front of the Shuanghuang. I'm not the real Jia Zhen. You can keep it a secret. I just mentioned it to Rong'er. That kid There is no way, he is the target of my mission. But you are what I want to pursue and want to live my whole life."

After Bao Mian finished listening, he felt as if his whole body was being burned on fire.My mind was blank for a long time, looking back at Jia Zhen who was close at hand, I felt my voice was still choked up, "Have you ever thought that if I betrayed you and told about it, you might Not allowed in the world?"

"With that in mind, I wouldn't have told Jia Rong back then." Jia Zhen chuckled lightly when she heard this, "At first, I didn't know what kind of temperament he was. We know everything about him, unlike you."

"How can you be so crazy..." Bao Mian looked at the smiling Jia Zhen, her eye circles were slightly red, and she felt that she felt sorry for Jia Zhen again, "So stupid. I asked myself that the first half of my life was considered a trial." There are countless cases, and I have seen a lot of emotions and changes. The word human heart, I dare not guarantee the future for myself. But...but..."

Bao Mian took a deep breath and looked at Jia Zhen with fixed eyes, "But I will keep this secret. Even if one day you change your mind..."

It was time for Jia Zhen to put her shoulders on her shoulders, and pulled Bao Mian tightly into her arms, leaning into her ear, and asked: "You swear, you swear, why do I still change my mind?"

"Because you have a lot of love experience." As he said that, Bao Mian suddenly felt unhappy and irrational. "According to the analysis of the case over the years, people with a lot of emotions are easy to be emotional. And I am a parent officer. , although I don't understand love, but I have seen many love examples, very sensible. Unlike you."

The last three words, even if you can hear the smell of Shanxi old vinegar, let alone Jia Zhen, who has a lot of love experience.

"You are a very sensible Master Bao." Jia Zhen raised her hand and pushed Bao Mian's chin towards herself, leaning over to aim at the dry lips.

Bao Mian's heart trembled, feeling that his whole body was a little numb, and immediately thumped, raised his hand to push Jia Zhen, his voice was still soft, "No... no, I'm not married yet."

Jia Zhen: "..."

"Even if the secular mainstream is not tolerated, basic rituals are still required. Besides..." Bao Mian took advantage of Jia Zhen's moment of sluggishness, and stepped back a little.

But feeling that this posture seemed to be refusing, Bao Mian raised his hand and grabbed Jia Zhen's right hand, and said solemnly: "Since you have such a background, I have to be responsible to you. Names and etiquette are very important in our era. I can protect you too."

Quietly looking at Bao Mian who was holding his hand, Jia Zhen's voice was very hoarse, "You...you...I..." I respect myself for being a tough guy!
