Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Chapter 205

Jia Jing stroked his beard and said, "Talk about it."

"Daddy, I want one or two shops left by my wife to practice my skills, but the shops are all at my sister-in-law's now, so, so..."

Jia Jing touched her bun and said, "So you came to me to help you out?"

Jia Lu seemed a little shy, she lowered her head and dared not lift it up.

Jia Jing looked at a girl like her who was shy, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart. Just like Nanny Li, he also thought his girl was too old, and seeing a young and handsome man like Gao Yang before, it must have moved the girl's mind yes, said,

"Forget it, you're old too, and you should have learned these middle-class things. It's just that the old lady is old, so it has delayed you in vain."

As she spoke, she showed her dissatisfaction with Jia Mu. Not long after the Han family left, Jia Mu came to the door and said that she wanted to take Sister Lu back to be educated, saying that she was super decent. In the end, she just put sister Lu in the garden at will, and didn't care about everything.

Then he shouted to the outside, "Come here!"

A young servant came in and waited for him.

Jia Jing said, "Go and send someone to your wife to order. She said that the embroidery shop in the east of the city and the grocery store on Zhuangyuan Street had been cleaned up, and she said that I said that when the girl grows up, she has to learn all these things. Get up, first practice your hands with two shops, and then let Qian Momo from outside come in, she should also serve in front of the girl."

After the boy made a note, he left.

"Don't be annoyed, you are still young, and you have never been exposed to these things, so I dare not give you more, first try with these two shops, and after a year, if there is no loss, I will give you more later. "

Jia Lu shook her head and said, "Daddy treats me like this, I have nothing to worry about, thank you Daddy."

After that, Jia Lu said goodbye and left, and went to her sister-in-law again, worried that her sister-in-law would be unhappy. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang packed up the contract and said that if she needed help, just come to her and so on. enthusiastically.

Now that she said this, Jia Lu thought of Jiao Qian and asked,

"Sister-in-law, I don't know how old servants in the family get married?"

Zhang thought that Jiao Qian beside her had also reached her age, so she turned her eyes and said,

"Miss, I don't know. Our family records it every five years. Those over [-] will be married. The first category is released by the master's kindness. I won't talk about it. If you go out, you will not be part of our family." , the matter of marriage is naturally up to oneself.

The other one is from our family, and our family is not unreasonable. The marriage will be notified half a year in advance. If there is an old lady in the family, or they have discussed it themselves, they decide which two are suitable for each other. Just come here and let me know, if there is no marriage after half a year, I will be the master here. "

Jia Lu nodded, it sounded reasonable.

I heard Zhang Shi say again, "Your question is probably because of Miss Jiao Qian?"

Jia Lu said, "Exactly."

"If she is, the girl can rest assured. Her grandfather Jiao Da has great kindness to our family. The old man will never wrong them. He has said before that they will return their family's identity deeds, but Jiao Da doesn't want to let them go. I have been refusing to do so, so I delayed it, it happens that Jiao Qian is your maid, so you can keep her body deed!"

After speaking, he ordered someone to pack it up and hand it over to Jia Lu.The two talked for a long time before Mrs. Zhang sent him back.

As soon as Jia Lu left, a little girl said jealously, "The girl is so young, the master will give it to two prosperous shops, among other things, the combined profit of these two families is several thousand taels of silver a year, the old master also I'm so spoiled!"

"Slap!" With a sound, Zhang slapped her and cursed, "little hoof, what are you talking about, this was originally left by the old lady to the girl, even if it is all lost, it is hers, where is it?" Is it enough for you to talk?"

Jia Lu didn't know about Zhang's and her little maid. After getting the shop, unexpectedly, she also easily got Jiao Qian's life contract. I plan to go back.

As I said before, the Grand View Garden originally occupied a part of Huifang Garden in Ningguo Mansion. At the place where the two mansions meet, a gate was opened. If Jia Lu wanted to go home, one way was to take a carriage and go from here. Come out of Rong Mansion, then go around the gate and then enter through the corner gate of Ning Mansion. Although this road is longer, it is a carriage ride, which is much lighter, but it is troublesome to go in and out of two corner gates and two gates.

Another way is to enter and exit through the door opened above the garden that Rong Ning handed over. Although it is close, you can't take a car, but you can take a sedan chair. Jia Lu doesn't like to take a sedan chair, so she walked back and forth by herself.

This place where the door is open, because it is in the depths of Huifang Garden, there are few people, except that there are two teams of servants guarding the door, it is very quiet on weekdays, but it is a good place to cool off, and it is hot in summer. Lu walked slowly in this place, and a little girl jumped out from the side, and was suddenly taken aback.

Nanny Li stopped in front of Jia Lu, and said sternly, "Where are you from, do you know the rules, if you scare the girl, I'll give you something to eat!"

Nanny Li was in charge of the rules in Jia Lu's yard in the past, and she was always strict with those girls. Since then, she has developed a certain momentum, and those little girls are probably scared when they see it .

That little girl was like this, she knelt on the ground trembling with fright, her voice stammered a bit, said.

"Here, for the girl, please, please, servant girl, servant girl is..."

Seeing that she was getting more and more scared, Jia Lu felt a little annoyed that Nanny Li looked down on people like this the most, so she said in front of Nanny Li,

"Get up first, I'm not scared, it's okay, go back early!"

Now that the girl has spoken.Nanny Li didn't say much.

But the little maid still didn't leave. She raised her head and glanced at Jia Lu, seeing that she was much more kind and courageous than Nanny Li, she knelt down and said,

"Girl, I hope you can save the elder officer and the sisters in Lixiangyuan. They didn't do it on purpose, so I ask you to save them." He kowtowed as he spoke.

Seeing her thumping, Jia Lu quickly stopped her, "Get up, get up, even if you beg for help, you can't ruin your brain!"

Jia Lu stopped her, but listened to Nanny Li saying, "Girl, don't worry about it, let her knock it down, I want to see what kind of sisterly love you have with these officials!"

Speaking of which, Nanny Li has always looked down on those officials. When she was in the garden, she saw that these girls were not very good. It's not that Brother Qiang's fortune is great, he won the attention of the royal family, and married the princess, maybe his good reputation will be ruined by this group of daring actors.

Another one is that she is old and has a lot of experience. She knows that some people dare to use such methods because they see the girls are young and soft-hearted.

Jia Lu stepped forward to support her and paused. Thinking of Jia Qiang, she didn't dare to make a promise casually. After all, people have closeness. Compared with senior officials and others, Jia Qiang is more important.
