The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 165 Baochai and Keqing ([-])

Lin Dajiang came to report.

"Minister Min, there are two female guests outside. They say that Grandma Rong from your East Mansion came to see Jia Rong and Qin Zhong, and a lady Xue came to see Xue Pan."

"Oh, okay, are you in?"

As soon as Qin Keqing and Baochai came, Jia Min was very happy.

"I told them to go back and said that no visits are allowed here. If they don't leave, they must tell you to report to you again. Now that I've told you, I'll go and tell them to go."

"No, let them come in and meet. Give them whatever you bring."

"Yes, sir."

Lin Dajiang went out, muttering as he walked: Last time, Lian's second sister-in-law scolded her on the street and refused to see her, but this time she let her see her as soon as she said it, which is a bit strange.

Jia Min is also muttering: This Lin Dajiang, Wang Xifeng is missing, but can I still see Qing and Baochai?Fortunately, the two of them didn't leave. Wouldn't it be a pity if they left?
Just as I was thinking of looking for them, they came, maybe it was God's will in the dark.

Jia Min called Jiaoli, told him to go to Liujiazhuang, called Liu Cheng, and told Liu Cheng to bring a popcorn machine.

Liu Cheng left Yeduju suddenly, no one else knew what he was doing.Ask Blacksmith Liu, but Blacksmith Liu doesn't know either.

Calling Liu Cheng out of the blue today, and telling him to use the popcorn machine, Jiao Li understood that Liu Cheng must have some secret mission when he left Yeduju.

Having been with Jia Min for so long, Jiao Li already has a better understanding of Jia Min's style of doing things, and knows that every time he does something, he will act out of the blue.Now that Liu Cheng is suddenly called here, maybe there is another big move.

Jiao Li's guess is correct, Jia Min is preparing for a big move.He's going to start the popcorn project.It just so happens that Baochai is here today, and he wants to give Baochai a live demonstration.

Jia Min called Wu Hongmei and told her to ask the kitchen to prepare and leave Qin Keqing and Baochai here for lunch.

Ping'er, Fenghua and Xueyue are all managing the supermarket business now.Nan'er and Ning'er went to manage the bus business.Gioli now has to train and manage military supplies, and has no time to manage other things. .

Feng Sanniang went to manage the Shuzi project, and Fang Xiucai and Cong Xiucai ran schools in Liujiazhuang.In addition to managing the blacksmith shop, pressing the pressure well, Liu Tieshan also took care of the winery and pig raising.

Yesterday, I hired a few more people to take over the work of brewing wine and feeding pigs, so I replaced Wu Hongmei and took charge of the kitchen temporarily.When all the new recruits come up in the future, there will be more than 1000 people, which will be a big job.

Fortunately, as soon as Wu Hongmei arrived at Yeduju, she started to learn literacy and arithmetic. Now she can leave some more important things to her.

With more and more affairs, Jia Min also felt that there was less and less capable people under his command.Especially when Ping'er is not around, I feel that many things are inconvenient.He was going to ask Pinger to take Fenghua and Xueyue for a while, so he called Pinger back to his side.

Sometimes, without Ping'er slapping himself, he is really not used to it.

Qin Keqing and Baochai's carriage came in, and they went straight to Jia Min's study.Stopping in front of the door, the two beauties got out of the car.

First is Baochai, who still looks like a glamorous and beautiful president.There was a slight smile on his face.Beside him are Xiangling and Yinger.Plus a butler of the Xue family.

Then, the delicate Qin Keqing got out of the car.She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the peerless beauty against which she looked extremely charming.Seeing Jia Min, he smiled at him, which immediately made Jia Min's heart feel extremely sweet.

The one next to him leading the horse is Shou'er, and the two maids are Baozhu and Ruizhu.

"Fourth Brother Min, I came to bother you. I didn't want to come, but my mother was thinking about my brother, and my ancestors were thinking about Baoyu, so they asked me to come with Brother Rong's daughter-in-law."

This is the cleverness of Baochai. When you meet these words, you can convey a lot of information.

"Yeah, the last time Aunt Lian came, because of the rules in the barracks, I didn't see anyone. I don't know how the family is doing here. The ancestors and the wife are very worried, so they urged us to come and see. Look. Uncle Xue, Brother Rong, and Qin Zhong are all here, so we two came to take a look. One is to go back to restore the old ancestor. In case there is no communication after a long time, there will be some estrangement between the family members. The second is to take advantage of this opportunity to benefit from public affairs and to look after your own family."

Qin Keqing added it again.

The words of the two are added together, and the message is complete.

The main purpose of this trip is to see Baoyu.Looking at their own family members, it was just a matter of passing.However, in order to become famous as a teacher, this excuse is still needed.

What Qin Keqing said, "In case there is no news for a long time, and there is a gap between the family members", it also conveyed another signal.That was the last time Wang Xifeng went back and didn't say anything good.They hope that when they go back this time, they can bring back some positive news.

Of course Jia Min knew that it was Qin Keqing who was reminding him.But what positive news could he give them?

The positive news they mentioned was just news that the old lady liked, but could Jia Min give her such news?
Of course, Jia Min firmly believes that everything he does is based on the highest interests of the family.

But, does the old lady think so?Does Wang Xifeng think so?Does Baoyu think so?
Even if Jia Min explained to them, would they understand?

"Since you're here, let's meet your family first. Baoyu is also in the house, so let's meet together. Set up dinner here at noon, and come here again after the dinner is served. I have something to tell you. Wu Hongmei, Take them to the dormitory. Lin Dajiang, ask Jia Rong, Xue Pan and Qin Zhong to go back and meet their family."

When Baochai and Qin Keqing entered the dormitory, they saw a person lying on the bed.

Lin Dajiang walked over and shouted: Jia Baoyu, someone is here to see you.

Baoyu was dozing off in a daze, and woke up as soon as he was alert.Seeing Baochai and Qin Keqing, I was stunned.

"Sister Bao, you are here, hurry up and save me. Is the ancestor here, is the mother here? Is sister Lin here?"

I looked around and didn't see anyone else, so I went to the door to check. Seeing that there was no door, I went to the yard to look for it.I happened to meet Jia Rong, Xue Pan and Qin Zhong coming back, so I asked them.

Baoyu is here now, and almost no one pays attention to him.Even Qin Zhong, who was close to him before, ignored him.Seeing Baoyu looking for someone everywhere, he ignored him.He just went into the house by himself.

Baoyu searched around in the yard, only then did he realize that no one else had come, so he came back sadly.

Seeing Baoyu like that, Baochai and Qin Keqing were secretly surprised.

Baoyu's hair is disheveled, her face is unwashed, and her clothes are even more dirty and messy. She is pulling on her shoes, just like that beggar.

Looking at Xue Pan, Jia Rong and Qin Zhong, they also looked downcast.His face had already turned dark, and he had lost weight.It's just that the spirit looks a little different from the past.

"Sister, you're finally here. Hurry up and save me back, that goddamn fourth brother Min is going to kill me. Have you brought food? I'm hungry."

Seeing her brother like this, Baochai's heart was twisted for a long time.Although this elder brother is usually inconspicuous, but he is a compatriot after all, how can she not feel uncomfortable?
Qin Keqing over there is also in a similar situation.Although she was usually indifferent to Jia Rong, seeing his miserable appearance now made her feel uncomfortable.

The two hurriedly asked the maid to take out the food they had brought and gave it to several people.When I saw them eating like they hadn't eaten for a long time, they were devouring it, so I felt even more uncomfortable.

Even the maids cried secretly when they saw her.

Seeing that Lin Dajiang had gone out, several people held a complaint meeting and denunciation meeting.The theme is naturally how they suffer, and the culprit of all this is naturally that goddamn fourth brother Min.

Qin Zhong has never been punished, and now he admires Jia Min more.He speaks in a more measured manner, hardly saying anything bad about Jia Min.

Xue Pan and Jia Rong didn't care about that, and just called Jia Min the number one villain in ancient and modern times.However, regarding the matter of stealing things by myself and being locked in a cage, because it was too embarrassing, and I was afraid that it would be passed back to the mansion, and I would not be able to see people in the future, so I didn't feel embarrassed to say it.

But Baoyu didn't care about that.Now seeing the people in the mansion, it's like finding a backer, so he rants wildly.

"This goddamn fourth brother Min is simply a devil. Just because I wanted to enter this yard, he locked me in an iron cage. Have you seen that cage? No? I'll show you later Look. Where is the place for people to stay? If you enter there, you can’t survive, you can’t die!”

"That's not enough, but they don't even give me food. It's fine if I don't eat. Even Lian's second brother, Xue's brother, and Rong's brother are not given to eat? They are forced to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night. Steal it."

"Brother Xue, why are you stopping me? I just want to say so that everyone in the world will know who he is, the fourth brother. Guess what, the second brother Lian and the others were arrested, and they were arrested on the spot. Put them in a cage. There aren’t enough cages, so I tied Lian’s second brother to a post just to humiliate them.”

"You say, who can survive such a day? Fortunately, I was clever. I dropped the psychic gem and then pretended to be dead. I escaped the clutches of the fourth child. But I can't hide from the fifteenth day of the first day of the junior high school. , He didn’t let anyone take care of me, so he told me to lie down in the yard, and no one took care of me all morning. He even poured pig manure on me.”

"Even our own family members are with that Min Laosi. If the family brings me some food, they will think about it one by one, come to me for this one, ask for that one, and don't give it to me." They are still not happy, and now they isolate me, and they don’t even want to talk to me, thinking that I don’t know? If those foods are given to them, what would I eat…”

Baoyu chattered on and on, until Baochai and Qin Keqing became more and more frightened.
