Chapter 398 Xue's new house
He took a carriage to the new house of Xue's family. As soon as Jia Qing got off the car, he saw a chubby body shot back into the yard.
Jia Qing smiled faintly. This fool Xue is still hiding from him...
With the relationship between Jia and Xue families, there is no need to pass the news before entering the door, so Jia Qing directly brought Wang Shun into the door.
The house of the Xue family is not big, it is a house with two entry points. However, it was originally just about to approach the Jia family, but the Xue family didn't care about its spaciousness and dignity...
However, it is indeed an elegant residence.
Putting Wang Shun in the outer courtyard, Jia Qing stepped onto the steps of the back house alone, and then saw Aunt Xue and her maid catch up in person.
"I've met my aunt."
"My son, it's such a cold day, why did you come alone? You don't let a few maids and mothers serve you well?"
Jia Qing smiled and said, "Auntie thinks I'm too delicate. I'm in good health. Besides, the weather is starting to warm up, so it's not a big deal."
"No, no matter how good your body is, you can't stand the wind. How old are you? Don't take good care of yourself now. When you reach your aunt's age, you will know that you are amazing."
Aunt Xue said, and then ordered her maid Tongxi and Tonggui to help Jia Qing walk in.
Jia Qing was not easy to refuse, so he had to follow.
When he arrived at Aunt Xue's house, Jia Qing was let go by two enthusiastic maids. Seeing Jia Qing looking around, Aunt Xue smiled and said, "This is the first time you have come here. I am a small and simple house. Don't dislike me."
Jia Qing said: "Whatever my aunt said? If all the aunts are simple here, then there will be no good houses in the world."
Indeed, although the Xue family is not a luxury house, it is indeed not related to the word "simple".
While the maid left with tea, Jia Qing said his intention: "Auntie, I asked you to buy so many stones for me last time. Today I came to my house to thank you."
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "It's just a slight effort. It's the case with relatives. It's not worth your personal trip to this."
"It's a slight effort for my aunt, but for me, it's just a big deal.
By the way, here is the wages for the workers, so please ask my aunt to accept them.”
"Didn't I say that my aunt's family can still pay for this amount of money. You still treat it as a serious matter and send it to me."
Aunt Xue didn't seem to care about the money at all. She didn't even look at the box that Jia Qing pushed over, but just looked at Jia Qing with a smile.
"Auntie, don't postpone it anymore. This was agreed..."
After hearing Jia Qing say this, Aunt Xue stopped talking. She picked up the wooden box, opened it and looked at it. She didn't know how many silver notes were, but Aunt Xue asked, "Is this..."
Jia Qing smiled and said, "There are only 30,000 taels of silver here..."
At that moment, Jia Qing clearly saw that Aunt Xue’s smile became even more serious, but she heard her dissatisfied and said, “Why did you have more than a few thousand taels of silver?”
Jia Qing said: "I know that my aunt is considering me and is determined to save money for me. But those boatmen and coachmen worked hard to transport such heavy objects to Beijing. They can't let them do nothing but work without paying wages. So the extra money is also my wish."
"What kind of wages are not wages? But they are all their own boats. They are also put in vain. It's better to take them out and use them. This really doesn't have to be considered as a silver..."
"It's really needless to say that auntie. Even so, I know that my aunt's family is at a disadvantage. I will naturally remember this love...
Why should my aunt be polite to me for this mere 2,000 taels of silver? Those were just the money of the people below. I only owe my aunt the love. Could it be that my aunt also wanted me to owe the love of the people below?"
"You, you are so honest... Well, since that's the case, I'll just follow you." Aunt Xue said, then smiled.
"Love brother..."
As soon as Jia Qing finished talking about the matter, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.
Jia Qing stood up and looked at the girl who appeared at the door and said, "It's Sister Xiangyun, are you here to play with Sister Bao?"
Shi Xiangyun jumped into the house and greeted Aunt Xue first, then said to Jia Qing: "Yes, tomorrow is Sister Bao's birthday. I'll come and see what delicious Sister Bao has prepared. Sister Bao is abominable. She doesn't show any news at all, so she's so angry."
Jia Qing smiled and said, "Then you won't act coquettishly. Sister Bao is so good. If you act coquettishly, maybe she will promise you to see it. Maybe she can even give it a try first..."
When Xiangyun heard this, Dajue was right, and ran to Baochai who had just walked into the door, pulled her arm and began to shake it, and said, "Sister Bao, just show it to me first. Look, even Brother Ai said, please let me see it first..."
Jia Qing was amused when she heard it next to her. In fact, if Shi Xiangyun spoke slowly, she could clearly explain "love" and "two". However, she was a little impatient and could not calm down and talk, so she would be unable to explain "love" and "two", which made people funny.
"Don't shake it, your head is shaking dizzy... You just heard what your brother said clearly? Besides, if you want to make those things, you will do them tomorrow. What are you looking at today? They are just raw things, some of them are good-looking, let alone eating them..."
Shi Xiangyun's spoiled behavior did not play a practical role, and Baochai still smiled and refused her request.
"Hmph..." Seeing that Baochai insisted on the principle, Xiangyun hummed unhappily and sat on the chair.
Aunt Xue, who was standing beside her, said, "I forgot to tell you just now. Tomorrow is your sister Bao's birthday. I'll invite you to come here too. Sister Bao and I will prepare good wine for you."
Jia Qing smiled and said, "This is natural. I will definitely come here early tomorrow and kowtow to Sister Bao."
When Aunt Xue heard this, she smiled happily and said repeatedly: "It's noon, so you all stay here for dinner."
Because Jia Qing remembered that he had something to do in his heart and was not good to stay, he smiled and said, "Since tomorrow is the day for Sister Bao, then let's come over tomorrow. I'll eat the wine and food first, and tomorrow will definitely be less fresh. Why not wait until tomorrow to be together again? Wouldn't it be fun?
My aunt has to prepare more delicious food. I have a big appetite. If I don’t eat enough, I will stay at my aunt’s house tomorrow."
"Okay, okay... Since that's the case, then I'll ask a few old ladies to send you back?"
Aunt Xue knew when she saw Shi Xiangyun's expression that she must follow Jia Qing, so she said.
"No need to be so troublesome. I brought someone with me. I will send her to the old lady personally, so my aunt doesn't have to worry about her."
“Okay.”
...
"Is this sent by Brother Qing?"
When he sent Jia Qing out, Baochai asked when she saw her mother take out a box and count the silver notes inside.
"Yes." Aunt Xue nodded and quickly finished counting the number.
“How much?”
"Thirty thousand taels of silver."
Baochai said in confusion: "Didn't it be said that it would be 26,000 taels of silver?"
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "He insisted on not letting us suffer losses, so he gave more. He didn't agree to anything I said. He also said that he knew we suffered losses and remembered our love...
What a good kid who can do serious things."
Xue Baochai nodded silently and said intimately: The rumors are true. Although Jia Qing is young, his actions are more appropriate than ten thousand people, and no one can fool him...
But that's right, including all the costs, they actually just set the price with the attitude of not making money. The loss is exactly the fare of a car and ship of hundreds of taels of silver per ship. Six ships are about two thousand taels of silver. Now that Jia Qing does this, isn't that just showing that although he has not taken care of these things, he is not ignorant of the market...
