Chapter 593 Jia Qiao, Qiaoer
On the second day, when Jia Lian returned to his house, he found that the house was much quieter.
When I got home, Sister Feng happened to be there, so I asked her: "Grandma Liu is gone?"
"She left after noon. Originally, the old lady said she would stay longer. Two days later, she made up her mind to leave. She couldn't stay, so she just left. Hehehe, speaking of it, our house has not been so lively for a few days, but Grandma Liu has given our family a boost. ."
Sister Feng was counting the goods and laughing. Apparently in her eyes, Grandma Liu was just an excuse to bring joy to the family.
So Jia Lian sat on the kang, laughing and scolding: "I am so old, and I am still teasing you like that. I am narrowing you down."
Jia Lian at least I was there yesterday afternoon and got a glimpse of how Sister Feng, Yuanyang and others were having fun teasing Grandma Liu to please Mother Jia and others. It is rare that Grandma Liu is not annoyed at all despite her ugly appearance. According to Jia Lian, Grandma Liu is confused on the face but understands in her heart.
Sure enough, Sister Feng replied with a smile: "You are a good person, and we are all bad, right? It's just to please the old lady, who would deliberately tease her?
When she left today, we didn’t treat her badly. The wife alone gave her a hundred taels of silver. The old lady was even more eager to empty out her entire family to bring her back, including everything to eat and wear. She used cloth, pills, candies, and silver coins, plus what the rest of us gave her, so that she could feed her family for ten years. Based on this calculation, do you think she made a profit or a loss?"
Jia Lian had nothing to say about Sister Feng’s rebuttal. Indeed, for a wealthy family like the Jia family, just a little leakage from the fingertips is enough to make a poor rural family rich for a long time.
But Jia Lian had been building up his prestige in front of Sister Feng for a long time, and could not tolerate Sister Feng's provocation, so he waved to her, and when she came over suspiciously, he pulled her in his arms and pinched her with his hands. He touched her mouth and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I, Jia Lian, married a daughter-in-law who is good at calculating. Not only can I help my family with my calculations, but now I can also help other people's families. It's great."
Such blatant ridicule naturally made Sister Feng blush. What made her even more embarrassed was that there were many maids in the room.
Ping'er, Xiangling, Xiaohong, Feng'er and two young daughters-in-law were molested by Jia Lian as their younger daughters-in-law in front of so many people. She felt that her majesty as the head of the household had been compromised. It was severely suppressed, but there was nothing that could be done about it.
Jia Lian wanted to hug her, but she couldn't struggle. She couldn't scratch a few marks on Jia Lian's face in front of the servants, right?
Fortunately, these people who often work with her are allHe is the most sensible one. When he saw me being intimate with his master and grandma, they immediately retreated in an amused manner.
Only then did Sister Feng let go, grabbed Jia Lian's palm and took a bite. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian was not someone to be trifled with. He immediately pinched her mouth, lowered his head and kissed her. He kissed her so hard that she almost lost her breath. Then she pushed him away and gave Jia Lian a shy look. , hurriedly interrupted: "I have two things to ask you!"
"One is that the manpower in the house is not enough. Since Ying Yatou and the others moved into the garden, according to the old lady's instructions, Each of them was equipped with four more maids, four mothers to monitor and keep watch, and women to sweep everywhere.
Especially in the Baoyu House, the old lady was worried that there would be few people to serve her. In less than, less than a month, how many people will be added to his house?
Although the old lady said that if there are not enough people, they can be transferred from her courtyard, but the old lady said that no one in our family can wrong the old man. Madam, just discuss with me and buy a few people from outside."
After hearing this, Jia Lian said indifferently: "You can just decide this matter yourself, why bother asking me."
The male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. Jia Lian does not want to interfere with the affairs of the inner house unless necessary. What's more, the Jia family has a set of strict standards for purchasing buyers. If you don't want to buy someone with an innocent background, you don't have to worry too much about recruiting spies, craftsmen, and the like.
And how could Jia Lian not know that the reason why the inner house was short of people was not only due to the increase in the Grand View Garden, but also Sister Feng's own needs.
In the past, although there were many people around Sister Feng, it was all because of the housekeeper’s needs. There are not many people who really serve her.
It’s different now. She is a marquise, and she has nearly doubled the size of the courtyard, including a flower hall and a bathhouse. In terms of practical needs and style, the courtyard also needs People come to fill it. Therefore, Jia Lian was not surprised and had no objection to purchasing a few servants.
If his wife wants to be powerful and powerful, there is no reason why he should not support her. Anyway, in this era, adding a few more servants really doesn’t cost much.
Who would have thought that Sister Feng turned over and hugged Jia Lian's neck, facing him close to her face, and said with a smile like a flower: "Oh, do you really don't care? It's okay for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be transferred from elsewhere. It’s also easy in the house, just for this young maid, you need to buy ten or twenty.
I also thought that with the reputation of our Lord Marquis, if it got out that he wanted to buy a maid, I don’t know how many daughters of poor families are vying for a spot. When the time comes, what kind of style will it be? The Marquis is not just free to choose. He also likes Peugeot maids, so he really doesn’t take advantage of the opportunity to choose two more good ones?
If it were me who had to choose, it might not be as the Marquis wants."
Faced with Sister Feng's joke, Jia Lian didn't take it seriously, "Do you think that with my current status, I still need to use this method to attract beauties? It is no exaggeration to tell you that as long as I am willing, no matter where I go, There are a large group of beauties following me everywhere. Huh, if I hadn’t restrained myself, you would have become a group of sisters. So, if you like to see ugly people dazzling in front of you every day, just recruit them. Okay, I'll keep it safe and won't say a word more."
Sister Feng's face suddenly turned dark and she cursed: "Bah, you think there are less now? Let's count them at home. Not counting Lin Yatou, Ping'er Xiangling Qingwen, Aqi Aqin, the one in your study, and the four in Lixiangyuan, there are eleven or two on the surface alone, not to mention, who knows you How much has he hidden from me..."
Faced with Sister Feng's half-suspicious and half-probing eyes and words, Jia Lian's expression remained unchanged, and he was terrifyingly calm.
Sister Feng became discouraged and felt that talking about this topic was meaningless, so she turned to say: "Okay, let's get down to business. Tomorrow is the birthday of the eldest man in the mansion over there. Although I respect the eldest man according to the Common sense still won't go back home, but as juniors we can't slack off.
Sister-in-law You has decided that she still has to do it, she just needs to invite relatives of the host family to come and have fun. They There are few people there, so my wife asked me to help with preparations. I will deliver these goods personally later, will you go?"
"Let's go over and have a look together."
< br />There are no adult men in Dongfu, so Jia Lian has to help take care of things outside, including emotional and rational matters.
Sister Feng was about to get up and clean up, but Jia Lian actually refused to let her go. Just when Sister Feng was secretly wondering if Jia Lian wanted to take advantage of the time to play some tricks, she heard Jia Lian say: "Our precious daughter She will be three years old next year, and it’s time to give her a name. It’s awkward to call her such a little girl.” What's your name?"
Sister Feng didn't really care. In this era, the name of her daughter's family was essentially optional. Most of them are just casually given nicknames by their elders and live their whole lives.
Jia Lian thought for a while. In fact, Jia Lian was unwilling to tamper with the original work above the names of people and things.
For example, Xiangling, Yiyingxuan Pavilion and the name of the scenery in the Grand View Garden.
Even if it was his own precious daughter, Jia Lian was not prepared to interfere. He felt that if he followed the original work, it would not be impossible to wait for Grandma Liu to give her a name.
But after seeing Baner’s little brat yesterday, Jia Lian’s mentality changed slightly. He didn't want his daughter to have anything to do with Wang Ban'er's family.
It happened that Grandma Liu only stayed in Rongguo Mansion for one day before leaving, and her daughter did not get sick from visiting the garden too much, so Grandma Liu did not have the opportunity to name her daughter.
Therefore, Jia Lian felt that it was better to choose this name by himself.
"The correct name is called 'Qiao', Cao Qiaoqiao, which is the same as Heng'er, the eldest daughter of Dongfu, and the same grass character as the boys. The nickname is 'Qiao' 'Er', what do you think of the day she was born?"
"Jia Qiao? Qiao'er, Qiao'er..."
Wang Xifeng muttered a few words, His eyes lit up. The daughter was born on the seventh day of July, which was the Qiqiao Festival, so it was very appropriate for Jia Lian to name her like this.
Not to mention, she originally felt that her cultural level was far inferior to Jia Lian, and it was also her right as a father to name her child. She never thought of fighting with Jia Lian. What's rare is that Jia Lian asked her for her opinion, which made her very happy, so she nodded quickly and said with a smile: "These two names are well chosen. It seems that you, as a father, are still paying attention. Okay, let's Let’s call my daughter Qiao’er from now on.”
As he spoke, his smile brightened.
When Jia Lian saw this, he also smiled. This woman is quite innocent and cute sometimes.
Arriving at Ningguo Mansion with Sister Feng, Ningguo Mansion was indeed much busier than usual.
Jia Lian was in the front yard, helping to make arrangements for various places. When he turned around, he found out that Sister Feng had gone to Qin Keqing Courtyard, and knew that these two good sisters must have a good time to talk. , so he had the courage to come to Xiyuan.
Xiyuan of Ningguo Mansion is the residence of Mrs. You, Second Sister You and Third Sister You, with a quiet environment.
At dusk, in the main courtyard in front of you, Sanjie You was dressed in a smart outfit, with her hands on her hips, pointing at a group of dejected and swaying young girls below and scolding: "You useless things, you have practiced like this." Tired after a while? That's it. No wonder their men look down on us women. It's me, and I look down on you..."
The girls felt aggrieved: "But, we women are not meant to do this. ”
“That’s right, there are no girls in the world who serve as soldiers and practice martial arts. Isn’t this a reversal of yin and yang...”
These girls look like the biggest ones. Seventeen or eighteen years old, the youngest one looks like a cardamom.
Their lazy but plausive appearance really made Sister You San, the chief instructor, fall down with anger.
"You guys are really pissing me off..."
Seeing that these subordinates were so useless, Sister You angrily raised the whip in her hand and wanted to hit them. . Suddenly seeing Jia Lian coming, she immediately forgot her anger and went toHe took two steps forward, then stood still.
When the girls saw Jia Lian, they all stood up in two rows and greeted him feebly:
"Greetings to the Marquis..."
"See you, I've seen the Marquis."
The voice was not neat, which made Third Sister You grit her teeth even more secretly. These deaf guys have taught them how to greet Jia Lian, but they just can't remember it!
This is good, he must be laughing at me in his heart.
Jia Lian did not smile, he just stood quietly in front of the group of girls. Gradually, these originally lazy women involuntarily straightened their postures and looked solemn.
Wherever Jia Lian looked, the uneven teams were consciously trimmed. So much so that a moment later, the group of reserve female soldiers who appeared in the middle of the courtyard was completely different from before, both in spirit and in the order of the team.
After about twenty or thirty breaths, just when the uneasiness in the hearts of this group of girls was very strong and they couldn't help but feel a little restless, they heard Jia Lian's indifferent voice: "Everyone Go down and have a rest."
"Yes..."
" The girls quickly dispersed as if they had received an amnesty, and soon disappeared.
Sanjie You then walked up, looked at Jia Lian, and said unhappily: "You can laugh at me if you want, I feel useless myself."
Jia Lian The eyes indeed brought a bit of smile. It would be strange if it were easy for Third Sister You to lead troops like this when she was still young.
So Jia Lian didn’t say anything and walked directly into the main room.
Sanjie You hurriedly followed, and after entering the house, she began to complain: "The people just given to me by the eldest sister are all maids selected from all over the house. You also saw what happened just now. , they are simply rotten wood that cannot be carved!
These days, I have thought of every method and tried it, but it just doesn’t work, they have not made any progress at all, and it almost makes me angry to death.”
Seeing that Jia Lian was listening, Third Sister You came closer and put her arm on Jia Lian’s shoulder: “Let’s discuss it with you...”
“You say it.”
“Can the agreement between us be voided? I really don’t want to pay attention to these idiots. With their appearance, it’s hard for me to believe that they can become talents through training!”
"Okay, you can just take it if you don't want to. I didn't force you."
Seeing Jia Lian agreeing so easily, Third Sister You knew that Jia Lian didn't care.Find out what she really means.
So he sat down in Jia Lian's arms and said with a smile: "What I mean is that if I don't help you train your troops anymore, you can just accept me into your personal guard, and I'll be with those two women." Are you a normal bodyguard?"
"That won't work. You have no strong skills, no qualifications, and no official position. You can't even command these girls. How can you command them? Those rich men under me? I advise you not to think about it. You can stay at home peacefully and help your eldest sister take care of the family business in your free time."
Seeing the Beauty Trap It didn't work, Jia Lian was still so ruthless. Third Sister You pouted and said displeasedly: "Then I will be a big-headed soldier under them, right?"
"Big-headed soldier?" ?”
Jia Lian subconsciously looked at Sister You’s chest. You can't tell the big-headed soldier, but the big-breasted soldier is worthy of his name.
"Well, it also depends on whether they are willing to accept you."
Sanjie You is quite dissatisfied. With her relationship with Jia Lian, how could it be possible? She was really willing to succumb to the second daughter Aqi, so she hugged Jia Lian's neck and started acting coquettishly, completely unaware that her second sister had also rushed over after hearing the news, and just took in the whole look of her inviting favor in front of Jia Lian.
Fortunately, the two sisters were deeply in love, and Sister You was not too jealous. She just poured a cup of tea for Jia Lian calmly.
"Ah, when did you come...!" Third Sister You's face turned red and she was about to get up.
Second Sister You said angrily: "When I first came here, I saw a cat rubbing against Mr. Hou, not ashamed."
Yes Jia Lian found Second Sister You's joke very appropriate and interesting. Seeing that Sister You was so embarrassed, she spread her legs and patted the free one. Second Sister You understood, and even though she was shy, she sat down obediently. She and Third Sister You looked at each other face to face, and both lowered their heads in shame, leaning on Jia Lian's chest.
Since the last birthday of Third Sister You, the two sisters have opened up their hearts, so although they are shy, they are not beyond expectations.
Of course the most beautiful one is Jia Lian. Although Aqi and Aqin were already in front of them, Second Sister You and Third Sister You were better than Sister Aqi in terms of their beauty alone, and they were also very colorful characters in the original work, so Jia Lian was a little impatient. I want to take down Sister You as well and enjoy the most beautiful things in the world.
