Jia Rong used her actions to prove that human body reactions are uncontrollable, especially in certain special situations. The more you try to endure, the more unbearable it becomes.
I could only talk about other things to divert my attention, but suddenly I thought of Qin Keqing's younger brother Qin Zhong and asked, "How old is Qing Jing this year?"
"Jing Qing and Uncle Bao are the same age." Qin Keqing said, naturally leaning his head over and softly recounting the situation of his younger brother Qin Zhong. "A few days ago, Master Jingqing resigned. My father is old and not in good health. In addition, he is busy with official duties and has no time to take care of him. I just study at home."
That's it!
Qin Ye only got Qin Zhong when he was more than fifty years old. He only got a son when he was old, but he couldn't manage it even if he wanted to. When I am busy with official duties, it is difficult to even ask a few questions in daily life.
The warm air coming out of Qin Keqing's mouth tickled him. In this era, if you want to make a career, you can go in two directions, one is to study, and the other is to join the army. Now that the Qin family has no ability to provide Qin Zhong with education, Jia Rong wants to give him a hand. He thought to himself that it is better to have one more educated relative in the family than one rich and idle person.
Otherwise, when Qin Zhong gets older in the future, he will not get much fame. Once Mr. Qin dies, Qin Zhong will become a rice bug attached to Ningguo Mansion. This is what Jia Rong absolutely doesn't want to see.
"There is a private school at home. Many children from the clan are studying there. Second Uncle Bao has just entered. Why not take him here and learn there."
After a long time, Mrs. Qin said slowly: "I'm afraid the rules will be broken."
"In addition to the children of the clan, there are also a few young boys from the Xifu family. Are the serious relatives not as good as them? Just prepare some apprenticeships. What rules can be broken?"
There was another moment of silence, and only Qin Keqing's helpless sigh could be heard.
The Qin family is no better than the Jia family. Although Qin Ye serves in the Ministry of Industry, Renovation, Cleaning and Officials Department, he is only a low-level official of the sixth rank. In addition to Qin Keqing's wedding, the Qin family's silver was used as a dowry for the Qin family. Qin Ye has been ill recently, and even including daily medicine, the Qin family may not be able to come up with dozens of taels of cash. "
Jia Rong could still afford twenty or thirty taels of repair money. This is really not a lot of money for the brother of Ning Guofu.
So he smiled and said: "I have some money saved for my own good, not much. It is enough to become a disciple and cultivate."
Mrs. Qin hurriedly said: "How can I use my body?"
"Your brother is also my brother." Jia Rong comforted: "The other brother in the mansion, Brother Qiang, moved out a few days ago, and the mansion also arranged a large yard worth several hundred taels, which is nothing compared to of."
Jia Rong thought that Ning Mansion had two big mountains pressing on it, and the situation outside was not good, so he had to recruit some help.
The book puts it well: "Who are our enemies and who are our friends? This question is the primary question of the revolution."
His primary enemy now is Jia Zhen.
Since Jia Jing cannot unite for the time being, he should train his own strength and at the same time unite everything else that can be united.
As long as we are united, even if it is useless for a while, it will always be useful in the future.
There are too few people that I can use and get close to at the moment.
When Qin Zhong grows up in the future, he may become a trustworthy person.
As for women…
As long as it can be used for oneself for a while, it doesn't matter if it's a little bit worse in character. No one is born a saint, and they are friends if they can walk together for a while.
Just as Jia Rong was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed that a small hand came over and wandered around her body. At the same time, a charming voice came into my ears.
"Master, thank you." Qin Keqing was so moved after hearing Jia Rong's words for her brother's sake that she shyly took the initiative.
This... Jia Rong's suppressed anger suddenly emerged.
Anyone with experience knows that it is difficult to extinguish a fire, especially when someone keeps adding firewood, which is the most dangerous situation.
Jia Rong simply stopped pretending, grabbed the soft little hand that was causing trouble, turned into a night jackal and pounced on him.
Within a moment, the sound of a cat and dog fighting could be heard in the room, almost startling the two maids in the outer room adjacent to the room. When he heard clearly that it was his master and grandma, he lay down with a blushing face. Two pairs of small eyes stared blankly at the back room, as if they were waiting for help at any time.
After fighting until late at night, Qin Keqing asked Ruizhu to scoop water in while panting.
After spending the night, get up early in the morning.
Near the end of the day, Rong and Qin went to Youshi's courtyard to pay their respects and had dinner with Youshi. Hearing that the master was coming, Jia Rong took Qin Keqing back to the hospital. Put on your home uniform and lead a team of people through the market.
Because it was Guining, Jia Rong had to get on the horse this time. He was very careful when sitting on it and ordered the boy holding the horse to be more careful. If this person fell from above and was trampled by a frightened horse, with the current medical level, the relatives and friends of Jia's family could basically be fed again.
As a human being, you must cherish your life very much.
Many girls in the Red Mansion have not met yet, and Jia Rong does not want to die because of such a low-level accident. It's such a pity to go now.
Fortunately, when we were in the city, the boy leading the horse walked slowly. After arriving outside the city, Jia Rong gradually became familiar with it and could sit still without the horse leader. Otherwise, if we walk slowly all the way, we won’t know how long we will be on the journey of twenty or thirty miles.
Jia Rong also felt lucky that she was still young. She was tired last night and didn't notice any back pain. Otherwise, he would have a servant leading the horse, and he would not be able to sit still.
After about an hour, we finally arrived at Qin's house.
The Qin family is not prosperous, but it is still lively. After entering the house to greet Qin Ye, Qin Keqing was pulled into the inner house by a group of aunts from far and near, asking if the relationship was harmonious.
In the main hall, Qin Ye, Jia Rong and Keqing's uncles from far and near were left.
Jia Rong handed over the gift sheet and said, "Last night, I heard that the master has been ill recently, so I went to buy a few pairs of precious medicinal materials early in the morning."
"The good son-in-law is interested." Qin Ye, who was over sixty years old, seemed extremely satisfied. He asked people to carry the homecoming ceremony into the back hall, and chatted with him about home affairs and asked how Keqing was doing in Ning Mansion.
Returning home was the last gift in ancient marriages, and it also represented the official establishment of two families. From then on, the married daughter became the man's family.
Jia Rong replied one by one, saying that Keqing was deeply loved by the elders of the two houses, and even his great-grandfather's wife, Jia Mu, gave him many gifts. Qin Ye finally felt relieved.
Poor parents in the world are afraid that their daughters will not be liked by the groom's family and will be bullied.
Jia Rong took a look in the room and asked, "Why don't you see her brother?"
"That boy is studying in his room, I'm going to call him out right now."
"There's no rush." Jia Rong said, "I have something to discuss with the master. It won't be too late to see you again after the discussion."
"About Jing Qing?"
"Well, I heard that my brother's teacher has resigned. I thought it would be better to let my brother go to the Ning Mansion. Firstly, they will have a caregiver, and secondly, they can go to the Jia Family Private School to attend classes. It has the best of both worlds."
"This..." Qin Ye hesitated.
Jia Rong said again: "Don't worry, sir. I have discussed it with my wife, and we will give my brother some silver to fix his clothes. He will eat and live in Ning Mansion when he goes to school, and he will be filial when he comes back during the holidays."
This time Qin Ye didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
Jia Rong asked again: "Do you know about cement?"
He had heard a rumor before that most city towers in the Ming Dynasty were built with glutinous rice mortar, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. Cement is the most versatile and cost-effective thing in later generations. Isn’t it much better than glutinous rice mortar?
Jia Zhen was in charge of the financial power of the Ning Mansion. Jia Rong was used to being carefree in the past and didn't keep much money for himself. It was not convenient to do anything he wanted to do. Ordinary cement raw materials are easy to obtain and easy to make. It is perfect for running your own personal treasury.
"I've never heard of it, what is it used for?"
Jia Rong explained: "It is made of lime, clay and the like, and can be used to build roads and build houses."
Qin Ye suddenly said: "Is it Sanhetu? Why do you ask?"
What?
What does it mean?
The world already has cement?
