Old things in the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng didn't take Jia Lian's worries to heart at all, "The Eldest Man wants to express his breath, just give this to the Eldest Man, and say it belongs to the old lady, and he will be happy there."

Jia Lian thought about it for a while and this was indeed the case, so he brought an antique bottle to see Jia Amnesty.

Jia She held the bottle and checked it for a while, then looked up at his son, "Is this really the old lady's?"

"Son, how dare you lie to you. It is indeed the old lady's thing. Besides, it is a good antique. Who else would have it except the old lady."

Jia Amnesty looked at it for a while, then put the antique bottle on the table. "Since that's the case, there are many good things from the old lady. If you can ask for one, you can also ask for another one. Go ahead and ask the old lady for another one."

Jia Lian was immediately dumbfounded when he heard this, he knew too well where this thing came from, so it would be fine if he took out one to please the Grand Master.But if the old man is poor and insatiable, and asks for these things again and again, let alone he can't talk to his wife, even he himself feels that things are not done this way.

Now that things have happened, some things have to be said.Jia Lian gritted his teeth, and said that he was in front of the old man, "It was my son's lard that deceived the old man just now. The thing was not obtained from the old lady, it was my wife's dowry."

Jia She snorted, "I know you can't get anything for such a worthless thing. I gave you three days of hard work, and now it's only been half a day. Go, even if you can't get an antique from the old lady, you can get a needle." come out."

Although he said so, he held the bottle in his hand and refused to return it to his son.Jia Lian looked at it for a while, and knew that the bottle was like a meat bun beating a dog. He would never return, so he stood up unhappy, and returned to his yard half dead.

When he returned to the yard, he found that Wang Xifeng was not at home, flattering the old lady.Feeling that being at home is not interesting, so I took the people out of the mansion and wandered on the street.

But by coincidence, I ran into Jia Gu and his son again.

This time they met, Jia Lian didn't stop the two of them, but just glanced at them and went elsewhere.

"Looking at this little thing, he seems to have been scolded. If you bring him here, I will ask what kind of temperament the old brother here is like? Otherwise, his reputation won't stink on the street."

"Since you said that your reputation is already rotten on the street, it can be seen that there will be no good..." Before Jia Huan finished speaking, he saw his own father's eyes widen, and he stood up immediately, "You sit here, I'll go Call Jia Lian over."

After speaking, he ran away quickly.

Jia Gu thought to himself, no matter how bad the old brother's reputation is, it's not something you juniors can talk about on the sidelines. Fortunately, his own son also knows how to have high eyebrows and low eyes, and he is usually very respectful in front of his old brother. Otherwise, Jia Gu thought of finding a way to deal with this kid.

Soon Jia Lian followed Jia Xun to the restaurant.

Although two of the three knew each other's identities and could imagine the inseparable blood relationship between the two, they were strangers after all, so they were not very enthusiastic when they talked.

As the elder, Jia Gu naturally didn't care that the younger generation didn't like to talk, so he took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for the two of them with the teapot, and asked Jia Lian, "I don't know what's the matter with Lian Erye coming out all of a sudden? Seeing that it's getting dark, everyone else is rushing home, and only the second master is wandering outside with people, could it be that there's something bothering you?"

Jia Lian thought for a while and suddenly had an idea, "I want to find an antique plum vase... I don't know if the master knows where to sell those high-quality antiques?"

Jia Xuan thought to himself that the most complete and best antiques in the world are in the palace, but he held the cup and did not speak.Jia Gu thought about it for a while, and knew that this matter had a lot to do with the assumptions of this world, and he was willing to provide Jia Lian with some information, "I don't know much about other places, but there are some places in the capital that are both true and false. , How about this, your grandpa has always been an expert here, if you invite him out, it would be a good thing for the father and son to go there to buy some things, what do you think?"

Jia Lian immediately felt a pain in the flesh. He also knew that some places in the capital sold fakes, but there were always some rare treasures mixed in there. Sometimes it is yourself who pays.

So he picked up the cup and squeaked, "Apart from these places, what other places do you know?"

"I don't know anything else."

Jia Lian sighed, thinking in his heart, if it is really impossible to get the plum vase in the old lady's hand, he will be beaten at worst, but he will go to the antique shop with the old man Once he was hit, his Yinzi was about to suffer a catastrophe. Between Yinzi going there and his own beating, he chose to be beaten by himself.After figuring out these joints, he stood up and bid farewell to Jia Gu and his son.

Seeing Jia Lian rushing downstairs with people, Jia Gu thought for a while and thought it was meaningless to be here, "Let's go back too, pack up some good things and come back next time, as long as you have a few good things in your hand, let your uncle here keep them." The willing take the bait."

Jia Xie thought to herself that you don't do anything, and based on the rumors you inquired this afternoon, Mr. Jia in Rongguo Mansion may not be able to support things. If you really bring some good things, then, then But it was really in vain.But now the family is still their own father, and the relationship between father and son is good, and it won't be dirty because of a few antique masters, so in this matter, Jia Huan completely obeyed his father's orders.

When the two of them returned to Zhuangzi, it was already close to midnight, and the two of them were a little unaccustomed to suddenly turning from evening to moonlit night.

Looking up at the moon in the sky, Jia Gu felt a little tired, "Let's go, go home, stay here for one night first, and go back to the capital tomorrow and bring some good things from our house, in two or three days Let's go there again." After finishing speaking, he added, "Don't forget the money."

Jia Xun is not as leisurely as his father every day. He still has to work in the yamen, and then finds time to arrange for people to deliver things to Zhuangzi.When he was busy in the capital, his uncle Jia She came to the door leaning on crutches.

Because the two old brothers had a good relationship, Jia She never had to inform them and just walked in directly.

After entering the door, I saw the butler packing some antiques, so I had to ask what is this for?

"I don't dare to hide it from you. These are going to be sent to Zhuangzi. Our old man wants to see these items, so our old man specially ordered them to be packed carefully and sent to Zhuangzi carefully."

When Jia She heard that he felt that he had nothing to do, he might as well go to Zhuangzi and live a rural life with his two younger brothers.

"That's fine, I'll go with you when the time comes." After finishing speaking, he went back to his home happily, and asked someone to pack some luggage for himself. When packing, his grandson Jia Fang came home from the palace. Grandfather was going to live in his uncle's Zhuangzi for a period of time, and he was supportive. He was even worried that his grandfather would not be used to eating there, so he asked people to pack two large carts of things and send them over. A decoration that Jia She often plays with.

When Jia Xun knew about it, old Jia Amnesty was already sitting in the carriage facing him with a kind smile on his face.

There is no way, it is necessary to go.

When Jia Gu saw his older brother coming, he immediately thought of a fun way to kick his son away first, and then dragged his older brother to talk about it for a long time, laughing loudly under the older brother's bewildered eyes.Let people put the antiques into the boxes, and each person holds a box, and the two of them went out in the middle of the night.

Seeing his grandfather like this, Jia Nan suddenly lost his mind. "Father, do you think the housewife is old and foolish? Now that you want to bury these antiques on the ground, is it possible that you still expect these antiques to give us something to eat in a hundred years?"

Jia Huan also knew where the two old brothers went with these antiques at this moment, but what his son said also made him feel very novel, so he couldn't help asking him why he thought so?

"Isn't the lice on the monk's head obvious? People think a lot when they get older, and they can't be spared when they come to my grandfather. I often hear people say that the old man is always worried about his children and grandchildren. They will not have enough food and clothing in the future, and they will desperately stay. I donate some money to my children and grandchildren. I think my grandfather can't escape the custom here, but now our family has no worries about food and drink. We have titles and lands. In a hundred years, there will be no big changes. Our family will still be full of wealth. However, in the future If the descendants of the family are unvirtuous and unfilial, what should we do if our family is ruined? Naturally, when our family is capable, we will bury some antiques everywhere. When the time comes, the descendants will really have nothing to eat. Dig it out and send it to the pawn shop to get a bite to eat."

It turned out to be this reason, knowing it, Jia Xuan couldn't laugh or cry for this reason.But I can't let my son know about the current secret, so I stood up and drove my son out, "Don't think about it, some don't. If you have the time to think about this matter, it's better to read a few pages and write more." As for writing, I heard that you have not read any books in Zhuangzi recently, and you just go to be a monkey with geography all over the mountains and plains every day. Go back to your house quickly. If you don’t work in the yamen tomorrow, you must Check your homework carefully, if you can't answer it, be careful, I will let someone beat you."

Jia Nan didn't panic because of his own father's words. Instead, he showed off to his father proudly, "Just test me. If I can't answer it, you can handle it. If I can answer it..."
