Chapter 377 Dried Candy
Pushing open the door and entering the room, he saw a beautifully carved girl in a pink hairpin skirt sitting on a pear wood chair.
She had obviously been waiting for a while, her slender little legs hanging above the ground, kicking out of boredom. Seeing Jia Lian come in, he quickly stood up and folded his hands obediently to salute Jia Lian.
"Qin'er, I have met the second brother Lian."
"It's Baoqin, sit down, no need to be polite."
Jia Lian He raised his hand casually, but kept walking. He walked up a few steps, tossed his robe and sat down, smiling at the girl in front of him.
, ready to be dispatched by Brother Lian at any time.
My father also said that these people are the sons of our Xue family for generations, and they are all trustworthy. Brother Lian, please feel free to use them."
Although the little girl’s face is a little restrained, her speech is very clear, crisp, like a bell, and very nice to hear.
Jia Lian guessed that this little girl must have traveled around with her father for several years, and she was a bit more generous and lively than the ladies from the Central Plains.
Smiling and thanking the second master of the Xue family, Jia Lian casually chatted with Xue Baoqin. For example, he asked her how old she was, where her father, son, brother and sister came from, etc.
Xue Baoqin was originally full of curiosity and gratitude towards Jia Lian, so he did not hesitate to steal his brother's job and came specifically to see Jia Lian.
At this time, seeing that Jia Lian was indeed approachable, he threw away his nervousness, happily picked up the colorful wooden box on the coffee table next to him, brought it to Jia Lian, and replied: "We started from Jinling at the beginning of the year and walked all the way. It’s been more than half a year. I just returned from Qianxiang Country. In addition to purchasing a lot of goods, I also bought a lot of delicious food.
Here are some candies and dried fruits, Lian Er If you don't mind, brother, I'll give it to you to try..."
Xue Baoqin thought for a long time before deciding to give Jia Lian her favorite snacks.
Although she knew before that there were some great in-laws in the family, she was not the eldest daughter of the family, and she was too young, so she didn’t know much about many of her relatives.
Returning to Han for the first time, she heard about Jia Lian’s heroic deeds from others more than once. Because of the wonderful and vivid stories told by others, the little girl instinctively admired Jia Lian, and even took her brother to go there. The tea shop is novel. But she never thought that Jia Lian would have anything to do with her and the Xue family.
So, when the rumored hero suddenly appeared in front of her,She also respected her father as an elder. At that time, the shock to the little girl was really too great.
Later, Jia Lian not only helped her father solve the problem, but was also so polite and caring to them. Naturally, she felt more and more moved and admired in her heart.
It was also at this time that she and her brother learned in detail about the origins of the Jia and Xue families from their father.
My father also said that brother Lian was a great person. Although people did not dislike them as relatives, they could not disrespect him. They also asked the two brothers and sisters to be more respectful when they see him in the future. .
Although Baoqin did not completely agree with her father's words, at least Jia Lian did help her today and her father was a big help. She felt that she should express her sincerity to Jia Lian both emotionally and rationally. gratitude.
It was inconvenient for my father to be here before, so I found this opportunity to express my gratitude to Jia Lian by making a gift with something I like.
It’s not that she couldn’t bring out something of value, but she knew that Jia Lian waved away the three thousand taels of silver sent by his father personally, so she was sure that he was what her brother said: “A gentleman is a gentleman.” Righteousness is more important than profit."
When thanking such a person, it is natural not to be cliché, but to be sincere.
Candy and dried fruits are what she considers sincerity. It is said that etiquette is less important than affection, and that's probably the case.
Although she thought that Jia Lian would not dislike it, when she came to Jia Lian, the little girl was still a little worried, so she held the small candy box in both hands and looked at Jia Lian seriously.
Jia Lian really didn’t expect that the little girl would make a special trip to give him a gift. He thought it was something new, so he took it without hesitation and expressed his gratitude.
.
Because it is not the first time for my brother and I to come to this place, we can serve as guides for the second brother Lian and the princess..."
Let Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin accompany us. , because the second master of the Xue family speculated that Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang should not have much money, otherwise they would not have pawned their jade pendants at the tea shop before. This was one of the reasons why he gave money to Jia Lian before.
The purpose of having Xue and Biao accompany them this time is to let them act as money bags. When Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang like something, they can directly help buy it.
In addition, it was also the reason to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship between the children and Jia Lian.
After all, Xue Biao aside, her daughter Baoqin will marry into the Mei Hanlin family in Beijing in the future. If they can have these two people to take care of them, then they will be able to live in Nanjing.Don't worry too much.
Jia Lian naturally felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he agreed directly on behalf of Princess Zhaoyang, and asked Baoqin and Baoqin to wait in the hall tomorrow morning.
Hearing this, Baoqin thought for a while and reminded in a low voice: "Second brother Lian, this place is a little different from the Central Plains. The sunrise comes later...
If you want to see If it's busy, it's best to go out after Chen hour has passed."
Jia Lian suddenly realized after hearing this. During this period of time, he was running around in the desert and forgot about the time difference between Cisse and Kyoto. .
“What Sister Qin said is, let’s set the time at the beginning of the year, see you there or not part ways?”
Although I have never heard anyone say the word “see you there or parting”, The meaning was not difficult to understand, especially since Jia Lian was smiling at her while speaking, which made Bao Qin feel a little at a loss.
She was a little girl after all, and there was no one else in Jia Lian's room at this time. It would be embarrassing to stay here after the business was done, so she glanced at Jia Lian and said, "Brother Lian, see you later." ", then she went with her little skirt.
It wasn’t until the little girl carefully closed the door for him and said hello to A Qi who was waiting outside that Jia Lian looked back.
Princess Zhaoyang said it right. Such a well-behaved and beautiful little girl makes people feel comfortable just looking at her.
Take the candy box next to you, and after opening it, there are two square boxes inside. One contains candies, and the other contains dried fruits. They are very delicate and beautiful, and it can be seen that they are from a famous workshop, so the price must be relatively high.
It seems that the Xue family master does not treat his daughter badly. Such exquisite snacks are rare even for the Jia family sisters.
I casually picked up a piece of dried fruit and took a sip, and realized that it tasted really good. Just then Aqi came in. After Jia Lian ate a piece, he smiled and said: "You give this box of dried fruits to the princess. In addition, you can take this box of crispy candies back to the house."
Although it is a delicate thing, it is still a snack for a little girl. Naturally, Jia Lian will not love it very much, so he gives it to his woman.
A Qi blinked. Although she was moved by Jia Lian's fair distribution method, she was also afraid that the princess would be careless and refuse.
It just suddenly occurred to me that my sister really liked eating sweets. I was afraid that when Jia Lian gave her the flaky candy, he meant to share some with her sister, so he nodded "yes", took the things and silently retreated.
