The Red Mansions

Chapter 41 Before leaving

"Dog, is Aunt Miao at home?" Jia Yun asked Laipigou.

Laipi Gou put down the stone lock, looked back, smiled honestly, and replied: "Brother Yun, my mother is embroidering in the house!"

Jia Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Go ahead and call your mother out for me, I have something to do with her."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Laipi Gou ran away, and ran into the house in a few steps.

The next moment, Miao's voice came from the room before anyone saw her: "Oh, brother Yun is here, wait a minute, auntie is coming!"

Her voice is indeed very loud, clear and sharp, and the sound hurts the eardrums even if it is heard across the room. If she opens her voice at all, the word resounding through the sky must be prepared for her.

Soon, Mrs. Miao walked out of the house with bold steps.

She is tall, nearly 1.7 meters tall, with a hulking back, big arms and round waist, dark skin, an oval face with baby fat, regular features, big and energetic eyes.

"Brother Yun, I went to your house to chat with Fifth Sister-in-law a few days ago. I heard that you are promising now!" Ms. Miao said with a suppressed voice and a smile on her face.

Jia Yun shook her head and said with a smile: "My aunt has praised you, so there is nothing to talk about. It's just barely able to make ends meet. Aunt Miao, we are not outsiders. If I need anything, I will tell you directly!"

Mrs. Miao nodded and said, "Tell me, if there is anything that requires Auntie's help, Auntie will never refuse."

"It's like this..." Jia Yun told her about asking her to be a rough envoy at her home, and then waited quietly for Miao's reply.

After hearing this, Mrs. Miao thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "To be honest, brother Yun, just because you can give my aunt five hundred months of money, my aunt would not be willing to refuse such a good opportunity, but you also know, Gouer This child is still young..."

Jia Yun naturally knew what she meant. Her son was still young. If she went to her own home, she would not have much time to take care of her son. Compared with him, her son must be more important.

Jia Yun had expected this for a long time, so he smiled and said, "Auntie just took the dog with me, and my family will lose a bite of food for him? By the way, if there is a chance in the future, I will let him be my book boy." Can't."

In fact, most of the students studying in Qingshan Academy have book boys, and some even bring several of them. After all, those who can spend hundreds of taels of silver to study there every year, the family conditions are not bad.

However, Jia Yun can't take the book boy now, because he is still a grassroots person, and he is not qualified to hire servants or servants. He can only do it after he has the reputation of a scholar.

Of course, the Jiaji people he hired now, including the current Miao family, are not servants, they can only be regarded as buddies at most, and their nature is different.

As for the charmer at home, she is now a black household...

"Hey, there is such a good thing, if my aunt refuses to agree, then I don't know what is good or bad. Okay, I have promised you this matter, and I will go to your house tomorrow morning."

The Miao family agreed, both happy and full of expectations, thinking that if Jia Yun achieves success in the future, it will be enough to support her son a little bit.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Miao became more enthusiastic, and insisted that she would give Jia Yun a bowl of poached eggs, but Jia Yun said that she had something to do, so she left without staying too long.

Braised shop.

When Jia Yun arrived, she happened to miss the peak business period in the store, and the three of them were cleaning the store in their free time.

After such a long period of running-in, the few people managed to run the store with great vigor and enthusiasm.

"Brother Yun is here?"

"Brother Yun!"

"Brother Yun!"

After seeing Jia Yun, several people were surprised and stopped to say hello.

Jia Yun waved to Cuihong and Xiu'e with a smile, "You guys are busy, I'll talk to my brother about something."

Then he and Jia sat down at a table in the corner and talked.

Jia Yun said: "My study has changed temporarily. I returned the letter from Mr. Xia. The day after tomorrow, I will go to Qingshan Academy outside the city to study, so I need to discuss some things with you in advance."

The business of the store is related to whether he can study with peace of mind in the future, after all, the money he wants to buy a house depends on the store to earn!
He told Jia only a few things.

One is stewed soup, vegetables and other ingredients. Jia Yun has stored the amount for more than a month in the cellar. He asked Jia to go to the charming woman every day to get it.

As for the cellar, it was originally jointly owned by Jia Yun's family, Jia Qin's family, and Lao Geng's family. In the past, it was mainly used to store vegetables for winter.

Later, when Jia Yun was renovating the house, she asked the workers to modify the cellar, which not only increased the space, but also enhanced the heat preservation.

Since the house was repaired, Jia Yun used the space to make a lot of ice bricks and put them in to test the insulation of the cellar, and the effect was not bad.

At least these days, he went in twice a day to look at it, and found that the ice cubes had hardly melted, so it shouldn't be a big problem to keep the stewed soup and other ingredients in it for a month.

In addition to the ingredients, the other is Jiaji's salary. From now on, I will go directly to Meiren to collect it. Naturally, the money earned in the shop every day will be taken back and handed over to Meiren for registration.

There are not many fakes of this. How many pancakes can be made per bag of flour, and how many bowls of stewed soup can be cooked in each pot of soup. The approximate quantity is clear.

The reason why Jia Yun is so troublesome is because she wants to take precautions and establish rules first, so that there will be fewer disputes.

Next, Jia Yun spoke for half a quarter of an hour in one breath, explaining everything he could think of to Jia's instructions, for fear that Jia would not know what to do when she was away.

Jia also listened carefully, and finally brought an account book over and recorded it while listening.

What he wrote Jia Yun did not understand, it was all symbols, and only Jia knew those symbols, Jia Yun glanced at it, and didn't care too much, as long as he did things with his heart anyway.

After the explanation was clear, Jia Yun picked out a few more random questions for Jia to answer, and Jia came up with them one by one, which was similar to what Jia Yun said, so she felt relieved.

"Okay, everything has been explained, I'll go back first!" Jia Yun stood up and smiled.

Jia: "I'll see you off!"

Jia Yun laughed and said, "Don't come with me with such vain things, I'll be happy if you help me manage the store well!"

Jia still followed Jia Yun to the door, but Jia Yun stopped at the fortune-telling place.

"Zhang Daochang, I have read all the books you lent me. I have also practiced during this time, and the effect is not bad. I will return the books to you today." Jia Yun took out two books from her arms and returned them to the fortune-teller. road:
"I'm going to concentrate on my studies the day after tomorrow. I don't think I'll have much time to come over in the future, but I'll continue to lend you the place in front of my shop without charging you."

Zhang Daochang took the book with a smile, put it in a bag and hid it away, looked up at Jia Yun, pinched his beard and said with a smile:
"It's the poor who took advantage of me. Originally, I wanted to borrow your precious land to make a living, but now I find that this land is a cornucopia. Don't worry, I will have the opportunity to pay you back in the future."

Jia Yun laughed and said, "Don't say that, you brought me a lot of guests here, it's hard to tell which of us will take advantage of which."

"It's the old Taoist who took advantage of my brother, it must be!" Daoist Zhang insisted.
