Chapter 674 Invitation
After arranging the things outside, Jia Qingben was going to see Cuiliu. In the middle of the way, he remembered that he hadn't seen You Erjie for a long time, so he turned around and went to see it.
People gave their innocence to themselves, but they didn't even have any reputation. If they ignore her again, it would be too ruthless.
Jia Qing entered through the small gate and stepped into the yard of Old Niang You, but saw someone who was not overjoyed.
"Second uncle..."
Jia Rong was also surprised when she saw Jia Qing and quickly saluted.
"what are you doing here?"
Jia Qing glanced at Ling'er who was watering flowers in front of the flowerbed next to her.
"I... was about to pay my respects to my mother, but I met Miss Ling'er on the way, so I stood and said a few words to her..."
Jia Rong said in a hurry.
"Then you won't go."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Jia Rong ran away immediately.
Jia Qing stood there, silent for a moment, and said, "Last time I told you, don't play with secret methods in the mansion. I can tolerate you once, but I won't tolerate you for the second time. Although Jia Rong is not a good weapon, she is also a child of my Jia family. If you instigate him to do something that shouldn't have done, I will not forgive you."
Ling'er paused her hand with a watering can, raised her head, and smiled sadly: "Stir? What does the second master think I will instigate Mr. Xiaorong to do?
Should I instigate him to challenge the authority of the second master, or encourage him to take back his wife?"
Jia Qing's figure walking forward stopped, turned around and said coldly: "You are forcing me?!"
"Second Master is admitting it?"
Ling'er asked back as if she hadn't felt the cold murderous intent in Jia Qing's eyes.
"what you up to?"
"What do I want to do? Don't the Second Master know what I want most?"
"I don't like women who are too smart, and I don't like being threatened."
Jia Qing left this sentence lightly and turned around and left.
As long as he wanted, he could destroy the lives of her relatives who had been sent to the death, including her mother. He believed that Ling'er dared not really anger him.
Jia Qing didn't know that he didn't care about his toughness for the moment, but he caused so much trouble for him in the future...
...
Mengpozhai, Jia Zheng's first words when he met Jia Qing were: "The Lord, I am the governor of Zhejiang, and I will take office soon. I will have to watch more about the affairs of this mansion in the future.
It's okay, come and talk to the old lady more often, she likes you to have fun the most."
When Jia Qing heard this, Daqi said, "Governor of Zhejiang?"
Jia Zheng nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the emperor was so kind to me. I still feel a little nervous until now, fearing that I would betray the holy grace."
Jia Zheng thought Jia Qing was surprised that he had been promoted too many levels.
In fact, what Jia Qing was surprised was that this was a coincidence. He was discussing the issue of "Suhu is familiar, and the world is full" with Yang Xu and the others, and was preparing to focus on collecting grain from these two places. In a blink of an eye, Jia Zheng became the governor of Zhejiang.
Is this the legendary feeling of having a pillow when you want to sleep?
"Your Majesty, don't worry. You have been hard at the Ministry of Works for so many years, and your reputation is obvious to all. Your Majesty also saw that you did the Princess's Mansion so beautifully. You know that you are a capable person, so you will naturally spare no effort."
Jia Qing had something to ask for, so he would just flatter him.
When Jia Zheng thought about it, he felt that what Jia Qing said made sense, so he no longer had to worry. He made up his mind that when he arrived in Zhejiang, he must do some political achievements so that he could not let down the cultivation of Emperor Zheng Qing.
Seeing Jia Zheng very happy, Jia Qing said naturally: "Do you know that Zhejiang is a major grain-producing province? It just so happens that I am going to stock up on a batch of grain. At that time, I will ask the master to help me to save me from the suffering of collecting from the people."
Every year, the people have to pay imperial grain. It is impossible for the government to transport the grain to the capital as it is. Most of them have to be sold to local grain merchants and exchanged for silver for taxes.
"What do you buy food for?"
"Didn't I open two wineries for making wine?"
Jia Zheng is a Confucian orthodox Confucian and claims to be a gentleman. If he knew that Jia Qing also had the "hoarding" activities, he would definitely get angry. It would be troublesome to explain it at that time, so Jia Qing said so.
Jia Zheng said: "Why do you have to do it well? Your mansion doesn't have enough money?"
As soon as Yuanchun visited his relatives, the economic urgency of Rongguo Mansion disappeared, so Jia Zheng also restored his aloofness to treat money as dirt.
"Oh, you're not idle, just pretend to be a joke." Jia Qing explained so.
Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Qing.
He doesn't care, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand. How could he not understand Jia Qing's perfunctory words understand that Jia Qing didn't want to talk to him too much? Just as he didn't want to discuss small matters with Jia Qing, he said that he would keep the food for him and ask him to send someone to buy it at the time.
The price of the public is generally much cheaper than that of grain dealers, and it saves trouble!
Save trouble, save money.
So Jia Qinggao happily withdrew from Mengpozhai.
I walked all the way to Rongqing Hall and actually met several eunuchs on the way, and the leader was Lu Fang.
Jia Qing thought that Princess Xingyue finally remembered to cause trouble for him, so he hid over and did not let the other party see it.
The reason why he skipped work was because he had a serious illness. If Lu Fang saw him lively at home, it would be bad.
Later, I thought something was wrong. Mr. Xingyue was mainly in trouble and should go to Ningguo Mansion. Why do you come to Rongguo Mansion?
When they arrived at Rongqingtang, Jia Qing realized that it was really not for him.
Princess Xingyue sent Lu Fang to invite the sisters of the Jia family to play at her house!
"Old ancestor, I think it's better not to let the second sister and the others go."
Jia Qing told Jia Mu in this way.
"No, what a great honor for the princess to invite her. How can it be? How can it be forbidden to go? You forgot that the princess sent someone to send fruit to you to eat with her sisters last time?"
If it were the past, Jia Qing might not have had this worry. No matter how much Princess Xingyue said, she would be a royal family, so she would not have been to the sisters of the Jia family. But after the last incident, Jia Qing didn't have to guess that she knew the hatred Princess Xingyue was about him.
Jia Qing was really worried that Yingchun and the others would just let him pass. He didn't want his sisters to suffer any grievances for no reason.
"But, the princess is a princess after all, and the princess's mansion is very rules. What if the second sister and the others are not careful and hit the princess?
Besides, we don’t know if the princess has invited others besides the second sister and the others. If the princess also invited other royal noble daughters, wouldn’t it be even more troublesome then?" Jia Qing persuaded in a detour.
Grandmother Jia also had this concern, so she said: "Aren't you working in the princess's mansion? Take care of it carefully tomorrow and don't let them collide with the nobles."
"Must go?"
"Of course I'm going."
Jia Mu was a little surprised: "In the past, what you opposed the most was that your sisters stayed in the house all day long. Why did you not be happy if you had the opportunity to let them go out to see each other this time?
Why don’t you ask Yingchun and the others if they are willing to go? What will you say then?"
Needless to say, if Jia Mu didn't object, Jia Qing knew that Yingchun and the others would naturally not refuse to go out to play.
Sure enough, after a while, the Sanchun sisters and Xiangyun came. They were very happy to hear that they were going to the princess's mansion.
"That's great. I'm just about to see what it's like to be the commander of the second brother. It must be fun!"
Xiangyun expressed his wishes.
"Brother, is the princess's mansion beautiful? Is there any garden that looks good?" Xichun walked to Jia Qing, pulled down the corner of his clothes, and asked in a low voice.
Jia Qing reached out to wipe the sweat beads from her little nose and smiled, "It looks good naturally. Do you want to go and see it?"
"I want to see..."
Alas, Jia Qing didn't persuade him. Since Xichun and the others wanted to go, then go. At worst, I would just go with them tomorrow. I believe that Princess Xingyue would not be angry with her sisters when she saw him.
