Chapter 294: Daiyu's love is true
A night of silence.
The night in Jia's Mansion was deep and long. I don't know how long I stayed up before the morning light finally came slowly.
Jia Cong woke up early the next day. It was not bright outside yet and it was still pitch black everywhere.
Some of the many lanterns lit in the yard have burned out their oil and burned to the end, and the flames flickered out. Although some are still burning, there is only a small amount of oil left, and the flames in the lanterns are burning.
It is getting weaker and weaker, the stars are dotted, seeming to be extinguished and shining, dying.
Jin Que is a very diligent girl. She got up early and went to boil water for washing her face, make porridge and cook in the dark.
Although early autumn is about to pass now, it is already chilly when I wake up early. The cold wind comes in through the cracks in the windows and doors, making the room very cold. Because it is still early, the charcoal of winter has not yet fallen, so I have to endure it.
At this time, I am afraid that no one in the entire Jia family has charcoal, except for Jia Mu and Lin Daiyu, who have already lit the charcoal stove in their house.
Naturally, Jia Cong is not qualified to light a charcoal stove for heating. Not to mention today, even if it is really winter, based on the temperament of Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and his wife, they probably will not give him any good charcoal.
He was awake, but he hadn't gotten out of bed yet. He was leaning on the head of the bed. He was still covered with a thick quilt, but he didn't feel cold at all.
Jinque is diligent and has washed and dried the thick winter quilt early. The cotton has been dried by the warm autumn sun and becomes fluffy and soft. It has a pleasant smell of the sun when covering it.
Jia Cong was sitting in the darkness feeling worried.
Now he doesn't know what he should do. Should he continue to make a living by teasing the old lady and a group of little girls in Jia's house? Jia Cong is determined not to live such a life. Besides, even if he puts down his self-esteem,
, he shamelessly hangs out with these girls, how long can he hang out?
Baoyu could naturally stay drunk in the gentle country all day long. Today he would compose poems with his sister, and tomorrow he would have a drink with her. Otherwise, everyone would take turns celebrating birthdays. If he got bored, he would go out and wander around, find a few actors to drink and chant.
Poetry is completely the leisure life of a dandy.
People can live like this because they have a strong foundation and can afford to spend money.
Although the economic situation of the Jia family is still deteriorating, Jia Baoyu will not be short of expenses. Furthermore, the richest old lady in the Jia family, Jia Mu, has a lot of money to support Baoyu.
.Not to mention this life, I am afraid that even in the next life, the next life will have enough treasures and jade to enjoy.
What does Jia Cong have? Jia She occasionally gives him some money, but what can that little money be used for?
Fifty taels, one hundred taels? For poor people, this is a huge amount of money, but for these wealthy people, it is just a meal, I am afraid it is not enough for a meal...
Not to mention, the weather is getting colder and colder in front of us, and I don’t know where to find the money to burn charcoal. Can that bitch Wang Xifeng obediently give him charcoal?
dream!
Wang's wife Xifeng was only happy if he froze to death.
There are also winter clothes. Jia Cong made the autumn clothes with his own money. Don’t even count on winter clothes.
He, Jia Cong, can't go to the old lady for everything, can he complain that Wang Xifeng has deprived him of his things? Besides, even if he files a complaint, it may not be of any use. Wang Xifeng is a very bad bitch and has many scheming ideas. There is always a way to deal with Jia Cong.
Cong's method. Besides, he doesn't even bother to battle with such a vicious old woman every day. It's boring!
Jia Cong leaned on the bed and thought more and more upset. Unexpectedly, the sky outside the window became brighter. Sunlight filtered in through the window paper, and the room became much brighter. The birds outside were all awake, and they were chirping so hard that it made people have a headache.
He became more and more upset after hearing about the appointment. He was about to lift off the quilt and go to the ground to catch the birds when he suddenly heard what sounded like someone talking outside.
At first, Jia Cong thought it was the girls in the yard who were quarreling with Jinque again, but when he listened carefully, it didn't look like that. He could only hear the people outside talking and laughing, which was a very intimate scene.
He listened carefully for a while, vaguely hearing what seemed to be Zijuan's voice, but no matter how carefully he listened, he couldn't hear anything.
What is this girl Zijuan doing here so early in the morning?
Jia Cong thought about it and got out of bed. He had just walked two steps when he heard the brocade bird lift the curtain and come in. As soon as the girl saw Jia Cong, she hurriedly shouted: "Master, it's still early, why are you up?
Why don’t you lie down for a while?”
As soon as Jin Que entered the room, there was a chill. Jia Cong turned his head and saw Jin Que, a little girl, looking at him with a smile. She was so delicate and delicate, and under the light of the morning sun, she looked even more gentle and delicate.
, exceptionally beautiful.
When Jia Cong saw you, he smiled and said, "Good girl, you have grown up now, and you are becoming more beautiful every day."
Jinque didn't expect Jia Cong to be praised like this, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment, making her look even more delicate and cute.
The faster Jia Cong went, the more he liked it. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hug the little girl into his arms, kissed her gently on the cheek, and whispered in her ear: "My little girl is getting longer and prettier. When will you
Only then are you willing to marry me and be my wife..."
Jin Que was caught by Jia Cong's intimacy unexpectedly, and her face turned red with embarrassment. She hurriedly pushed Jia Cong away, jumped to the side like a frightened little rabbit, and cried out: "You are going to die, do this so early in the morning."
What's wrong with moving your feet and letting others see it? You're getting worse and worse as you learn. It seems I really have to be more careful with you in the future."
Jia Cong felt a little embarrassed when he saw that the little girl was so frightened by him, so he had to ask with a shy face: "Who was talking to you in the yard just now? It sounded like Zi Juan?"
Jinque heard Jia Cong suddenly ask this question again, and looked at his stern face. She seemed to be very embarrassed. She couldn't help but feel funny in her heart. She glared at him fiercely and said, "It's not Sister Zijuan who is here."
She said that Miss Lin asked her to come over to see if the young master was up, and told him to sleep for a while and not to get up too early. She also specifically asked me to make more fish and shrimp for the young master to eat, saying that it is easy to digest. And
I asked the young master if he had winter clothes. If not, Miss Lin would make winter clothes for the young master. He also asked if it was cold at night. If it was cold, Miss Lin asked Zijuan to secretly send some charcoal over at night, and asked me to take care of the stove.
Don't smoke the young master. He asked me what I should make for the young master for lunch. If he doesn't eat well, he can go to the big kitchen and ask for some. Miss Lin said that she was going to ask the old lady for some personal ginseng, deer antler, and bird's nest.
I also asked Zijuan to secretly bring it to me at night, and told me to cook it carefully for the young master. If the young master refused to eat it, she asked me to secretly put it into the porridge and eat it together. She also asked me if I had any money, and Miss Lin said that she had two in a month.
With a monthly allowance of two taels, she had no expenses and secretly saved a lot of money, probably dozens of taels. Now that she has given me this money, she asked me to give it to the young master. She said that you can buy whatever you like to eat and wear.
Go, don't open your mouth to others easily..."
As Jinque spoke, he took out a small bag of silver from his arms and shook it in front of Jia Cong.
