[Red Mansion] Sir, I'm a rough man

Jia Wan and Liu Xianglian left regardless, but left the mess to Jia Lian. Jia Lian looked at the three women in the room and sighed.

Third Sister You just stood upright, didn't make a sound, didn't shed a tear, but it made people feel flustered.

Second Sister You covered her face with her hands, held back her voice, and trembled from crying.

Ouch, Mrs. You lay down on the kang, yelling that her heart ached.

They still know their own affairs in their own minds, but on weekdays, girls and women flatter, Jia Zhenjiarong coaxes with nice words, and a gentle and careless Jia Lian comes, so I think it's nothing more than that.

Now it's like being stripped naked and thrown naked on the street, ashamed and shameless.

It would be fine if they were brothel girls who had already given up their lives, but one was holding money from the elders, the other was still ashamed, and the other had a strong temper.

Jia Lian couldn't regret it. If he had known Jia Wan's temper, he should have answered Liu Xianglian's words, and it wouldn't have caused such an ugly scene.

The boy didn't mention "retirement", but his words were like a knife, saying that Third Sister You didn't even have the face to commit suicide.

Jia Lian coaxed Second Sister You at one end, and saw how Mrs. You was doing at the other end, and whether she should invite a doctor. She was in a state of desperation when Third Sister You suddenly laughed and said softly, "Second Master Lian, my sister and I followed you together. Bar?"

For a while, there was no joy, but the hairs of shock were about to stand on end.

……

Jia Wan and Liu Xianglian separated, met a few more people, and then returned to Ningguo Mansion, where Baoyu had been in his room, fidgeting and waiting for half an hour.

Seeing Jia Wan come in, Baoyu was overjoyed, poured him a bowl of tea, and asked, "What's going on over there?"

Jia Wan was thirsty, so he drank it in one gulp, took off his big outer clothes and handed it to Yuzhan, saying: "What else can I do? Retire."

Baoyu sighed and sighed.

Jia Wan said: "It's a pity. It's not suitable. It's better to let go of her earlier. If Liu Xianglian married her because of affection, but she will be disgusted in every possible way in the future, that would be real suffering."

In this era when marriage is easy and divorce is difficult, there is nothing terrible about retiring, but it is terrible for people who marry the wrong one.

Baoyu said: "That's true. Without this, there is something better waiting for her."

Jia Wan washed his face and wiped his hands unhurriedly, and said, "Second Brother Bao came here specially to wait for Xin'er for this matter? Why don't you just ask Second Brother Lian?"

He also knows a little bit about Jia Lian's character. When it comes to women, he hides when he finds it troublesome... He must be back by now.

Baoyu said: "That's why, and I didn't come here on purpose. The master asked us to come here to practice archery with Brother Zhen every day. I think it's too noisy. Come to you to hide."

He asked again: "Since you came back from Jiangnan, you paid homage to your uncle and met your elders, and you fell asleep for three days. I didn't even have the chance to ask about Uncle Lin and Sister Lin's situation. Are they all right now, and Sister Lin is in good health?" Better?"

Jia Wan said: "Everything is fine, Master, and Sister Lin is also fine, and I found a good doctor there, and hired a cook who is good at cooking medicinal food. Now I haven't had any illness for more than half a year."

Baoyu was overjoyed, got up and bowed to Jia Wan, and went away without waiting for Jia Wan to react and get up and help him.

Jia Wan sent him to the door, seeing his smile on his lips and brisk steps, he couldn't help sighing.

If there is a Garden of Eden in the world, where there is no wind and rain, and there is only one precious jade and one black jade in the garden, it would be great.

"Baoyu!" A handsome young man rushed up to meet him. It was Qin Keqing's younger brother, Qin Zhong, who held Baoyu's hand and said with a smile, "So you are here, so it's easy for us to find... my sister told us to go and eat melons." Woolen cloth!"

Seeing Jia Wan standing not far away in a blink of an eye, he froze immediately, bowed and said, "Second Uncle Wan."

He and Baoyu can talk about their friendship regardless of their seniority, but Jia Wan is Qin Keqing's serious elder and dare not be casual.

He added: "Just now Uncle Zhen sent someone to deliver two watermelons of this size. My sister called us over to eat them. Do you want to come together?"

Jia Wan would not join in the fun, so he sent them away at will.

Not long after, Qin Keqing's girl brought half a melon over. Yuzhan gave her some money and said with a smile, "It's hard for you to think about it. Thank you grandma for our father."

After sending the person away, he went to cut the melon and brought it over, saying: "In this mansion, only grandma Xiao Rong still thinks about our courtyard, sir, you should appreciate it, don't just smile when you see someone." nothing."

Jia Wan said: "If I laugh when I see her, it will be harmful!"

Yuzhan let out a "puchi" laugh, and said, "That's right, with my grandfather's appearance, it's already a big deal if I don't smile, but it's okay if I smile?"

Seeing that she deliberately distorted her words, Jia Wan was annoyed and funny, and said: "Now you are getting more and more courageous, you dare to make fun of me."

He took a piece casually, and waved her to share the rest of the melon.

Yuzhan said sternly, "Although it's a joke, I should serve some snacks."

Jia Wan said: "That's my nephew's wife, I'm interested in her, what happened?"

Yuzhan said: "What's the matter, I think you just think too much, doesn't Second Master Bao often play in Grandma Xiaorong's yard?

"Also, she was in a bad mood last month. Uncle Zhen also specially found a parrot. The parrot had a mouthful of 'Keqing', and it called nicely, and it could read poems... It's a pity that it was only two days before it was released. I don’t know where the wild cats came from and got infested.”

"Okay, I'm afraid of you," Jia Wan saw her nagging, and said, "You give her brother one of the pens I brought from Yangzhou."

Yuzhan agreed with a smile, and then went down with the tray.

When Jia Wan first moved into Ningguo Mansion, according to Baoyu's example, he was assigned eight big maids, eight young maids, six nuns, eight servants, and four attendants, a total of 30. Many servants, because he was not in the mansion, these people either found their own way, or were favored by other masters, and they left for more than half of them one after another. Now only three maids headed by Yuzhan are left guarding The yard was empty, and there was nothing left outside. When you came back this time, Youshi wanted to add someone for him, but he also refused.

There are three maids inside, and Yu Yan, a little servant he brought back outside, is just right.

Yuzhan knew his temper, and would call someone when something happened, and didn't like to be served by others, so she didn't come in to disturb him.

There was a faint noise outside, which was exactly what Baoyu said, a group of people who came to practice archery.

Jia Wan didn't know what to say to this brother.

Now it is still the period of filial piety, first with his son, having sex with his sister-in-law, and then "marrying" her to his cousin.

He was desperately looking for a parrot called "Ke Qing" to make his daughter-in-law happy.

That's all, after all, it's a family scandal, even if it can't be covered up, you can still bite the bullet and say it's a rumor.

But recruited a lot of children, claiming to practice archery, but in fact they gather every night to gamble and prostitute, and they are extremely obscene... This is the reputation of Sheng Ning Guofu. It has not spread far enough, and it has not completely rotted?

"Master," Yuzhan entered the door and said, "Master sent someone over and told you to go to the room."

Jia Wan calmed down and said, "Just say I know, and I'll go in a while."

Yuzhan passed the word out, and came to help Jia Wan change his clothes again, Jia Wan said: "I heard the old lady say a few days ago that you are going to send out a group of girls who have reached the age to be married. You are not too young, are you? Is there anyone you like? Whether it's inside or outside the house, just tell me."

Yuzhan froze the hand that tied his belt, and said, "I won't marry, I will serve my master for the rest of my life!"

Jia Wan said, "It's two different things, okay?"

"Anyway, I won't marry!"

"It's up to you, but if you meet someone who is pleasing to your eye, don't delay yourself if you think about me."

Yuzhan didn't say a word, quickly cleaned up for him, and threw the curtain away.

Jia Wan shook his head, not angry, and went straight to Jia Zhen.

In the upper room, apart from Jia Zhen, there were also Jia Rong and a handsome young man who were talking and laughing. Seeing him enter the door, she hurriedly stood up to greet him. Jia Rong smiled and said, "Second Uncle, this is Brother Qiang. You have seen him before. I'm afraid I won't recognize it."

Jia Wan nodded as a response, went to sit down, and said, "Why is Big Brother looking for me?"

Jia Zhen didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point: "That's it, the mansion is going to buy a batch of things in Jiangsu and Zhejiang recently, and now you and Rong'er are inconvenient to go out, so I want Brother Qiang to come.

"However, he is a child, and he has never traveled far. Although he is accompanied by a manager, he is not at ease after all. You have stayed there for many years. If you have a trustworthy acquaintance, write a letter and ask Brother Qiang to take him there. There are also people taking care of them."

"It's a trivial matter," Jia Wan said, "I just don't know what the eldest brother wants to buy. I know a lot of people over there. Some families have their own shops. When the time comes, go directly and save a lot of money."

Jia Qiang was a little perplexed. She glanced at Jia Zhen and saw Jia Zhen nodding. Then she took out a list from her sleeve, and saw that it was full of items, from river silk silk satin to Hangzhou yarn spring silk, from table From lamp mirror stand to pedal basin stand, from glass screen to Western table clock... there are everything that one expects to find.

Jia Wan glanced at Jia Zhen, handed the list back to Jia Qiang, and said, "Fortunately, elder brother asked me, and nothing else, like these Western objects, things of one tael of silver, are exchanged for strangers. If you buy it, they dare to ask for 200 taels, but they still can’t get any good things. I’ll ask someone to take you there, so I’m sorry they don’t dare to ask you to spend an extra penny.

"Silk silk and satin are even easier. I have a few friends who do this. Later, I will send a letter to them and ask them to buy it directly. It will save Brother Qiang to find it every family, and it can save more than half of the money." the silver...

"And the furniture..."

He nodded his forehead and said: "Forget it, I can't explain these things for a while, how about this, I will let Yuyan go with you. With him, I don't even need to write a letter, just say that I bought it for me." Yes, there is no one who dares to be wholehearted... just send a letter to the master for me."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "That's a good thing! Please worry about it, Second Uncle."

Jia Wan said, "It's outrageous to say that."

He also said: "Since you are helping the mansion with errands, I can't let your hard work be in vain. I will explain to Yuyan later and let him take you to buy some western gems. Those things will be dozens of times more profitable when you get off the boat. If you don’t get some favors, you will never be able to buy it. How much you can earn later depends on yourself.”

Jia Qiang was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly.

Jia Wan got up, said goodbye to Jia Zhen, and said to Jia Qiang: "Where do you live now, I will ask Yuyan to find you later, the two of you can discuss the specific matters."

Jia Qiang answered quickly, and together with Jia Rong, sent him out respectfully.

As soon as Jia Wan returned to the yard, his face turned cold, Yuzhan came up to meet him, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong, sir?"

Jia Wan briefly explained the matter, and said coldly: "You go to Yuyan now and tell him, no matter what method he uses, I will find out in the morning who they are doing the dowry for!"
