Chapter 15 Congratulations
"Brother Qiang, I'm your host today. I'm here to wish you a happy housewarming."
At the door, Feng Ziying, wearing a black brocade dress with wide sleeves, had a cheerful and cheerful smile on her face, which was very approachable.
There were three servants behind him, pushing a cart of gifts.
When Jia Qiang saw this, she cupped her hands and smiled and said, "Why do you think Brother Feng spends so much money?"
Feng Ziying waved her hand and said: "It's not worth a lot of money, it's just some toys." He took out two ingots and ten taels of silver from his sleeve pocket, raised his chin, and said with a smile: "Don't refuse, I don't know how much you are in your current situation.
Understand better. If you still recognize me as a friend, you will accept these ten taels of silver. Friends are meant to make money, unless you disown me."
To be honest, Jia Qiang was still a little touched.
It's just that he was fed too much explosive information in his previous life, which made him sophisticated and unwilling to trust others...
So at this moment, he was clearly grateful for Feng Ziying's heroic spirit, and there was a voice in his heart that always warned him:
People like Feng Ziying are born with a friendly temperament to do big things, so they must have the ambition to do big things.
It is really dangerous for such a person to use the righteous means of Bo Yuntian in the name of Meng Chang to win over people's hearts and gather them as dead soldiers.
but……
Isn’t this how adults should interact with each other?
Therefore, no matter what potential Feng Ziying sees in him, Jia Qiang is willing to accept this investment at this moment.
The days ahead are long, and there will be time to repay today's helping hand.
He is indeed short of money right now.
I had just thanked Feng Ziying here, and before she could be led into the second door, I heard a wanton laughter coming from outside the main door: "I just guessed that there is no one else who can come earlier than me, except you, Lao Feng!"
Before the laughter ended, Xue Pan walked in carefree, accompanied by two servants and two servants, who also brought a cart of congratulatory gifts.
Only his car was much bigger than Feng Ziying's, and Xue Pan himself clearly noticed this and became even happier.
However, I looked around and saw Liu Laoshi standing timidly by the well to apologize, and the strong and strong iron bull like an animal squatting in the corner with his head on his head, not daring to raise his head to see anyone. He couldn't help but frown and said: "Brother Qiang, your yard is too big."
It's a little broken, but that's fine. We can go back and find some craftsmen to repair and repair it. You are the only one at the moment. But where did you get these two servants? Hey, no, no, they look stupid and stupid. Where did you get them?
If you know how to serve people, it would be better for two young ladies... Huh? Brother Qiang, I wrongly blamed you, but the young lady here is actually..."
"Old Xue, please shut up!"
Before Jia Qiang could speak, Feng Ziying could no longer listen and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about? These are Uncle Qiang's family, please stop talking nonsense."
As soon as these words came out, Xue Pan aside, Jia Qiang was shocked. There was no reason!
No matter how powerful Feng Ziying is, she is someone she just made friends with again yesterday. How could she find out his background so clearly?
But Feng Ziying immediately turned around and said to him: "I met Brother Rong in Rong Mansion last night. When we came out together, he told me that you are living with your uncle's family now. It's a good thing that you are like this. Otherwise, today
I haven't prepared many gifts yet."
It happened that the Feng family's followers were unloading a few pieces of cloth from the car, as well as some household goods such as rice, noodles, oil, salt, and meat.
The cost of this car may be less than five taels of silver, but it is indeed something Jia Qiang's family can use now.
It becomes increasingly clear that Feng Ziying’s kindness is valuable...
Jia Qiang felt ashamed in her heart.
On the other side, after Xue Pan was embarrassed, what was moved down from the Xue family carriage mountain were some valuable furniture and antiques.
When Jia Qiang saw this, she hurriedly said: "Uncle Xue, this is impossible, it's too precious."
Xue Pan became even more unhappy when he heard this, and said displeasedly: "What do you call Uncle Xue? I just said that we should treat each other as brothers yesterday, otherwise you can call me Uncle Xue... Besides, this little thing is too much for me.
What is it worth? Brother Qiang, we have known each other for more than a day or two, and we are already on good terms. Now that you are not rich, you must have not brought out the things at home. You still pass on my ideas, which is not enough.
Do you understand? Please pay it back to my mother-in-law..."
Compared to Feng Ziying, the carefree Xue Pan made Jia Qiang feel more at ease. Xue Pan had a reputation as a "money-spreading idiot" in ethnic studies, and everyone wanted to take advantage of him...
However, Jia Qiang was grateful that Xue Pan could treat him like this at this time, so she smiled and said: "Old Xue, you have to think clearly. My life is not very good right now. If there is really something bad, I can take it."
If you pawn these and exchange them for silver, don't blame me."
When Xue Pan heard this, his anger turned into joy, and he laughed and said: "This is so refreshing. Since I gave it to you, it's up to you whether you want to smash it or pawn it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two voices of ridicule coming from outside.
Xue Pan immediately turned around, saw the laughing man's eyes widening, and asked suspiciously: "Why are you two here together?"
The scene of these two shameless people pasting sesame cakes behind his back has already emerged in his mind...
Qiguan Jiang Yuhan smiled shyly and said nothing.
Baoyu smiled and said: "Of course it was the appointment made by my predecessor."
Then he said to Jia Qiang: "Qi Guan and I are not as rich as Brother Xue, but we still have a heart."
With that said, each of them took out a congratulatory gift.
They were all wrapped in embroidered purses, especially Qiguan's. Even the embroidered purse was embroidered by him himself.
Jia Qiang respected their aesthetics, but decided to take out the silver in the purse and put the purse at the bottom of the box, so that it would never see the light of day.
The gifts given by the two of them were almost the same, each amounting to about fifty taels of silver.
Although this gift is far less valuable than Xue Pan's cart of furniture and antiques, and not as valuable as Feng Ziying's, a cow is only worth 7,000 yuan at the moment.
A hundred years after the founding of the Yan Dynasty, the exchange of silver coins for copper coins was no longer one tael for a thousand coins, but one tael for about 1,500 coins.
In other words, Jia Baoyu and Qiguan Jiang Yuhan each gave Jia Qiang a cow...
The four people's congratulatory gifts were seen by Liu Laoshi and his family, and they were all secretly speechless.
These gifts for just four people were much more than the money they had accumulated through years of hard work.
Aunt Chun, who was originally distressed by Jia Qiang's taking the meat to treat guests, now had no objection at all.
Jia Qiang briefly introduced Liu Laoshi and his family to the guests, but Xue Pan showed little interest. If Liu Da Niu hadn't gotten married yet, he might still be tempted, but since Liu Da Niu was a biological child, he had no interest in it anymore.
It is not controlled by people (Jia) and wives (Lian)...
Qiguan and Baoyu nodded politely and kept their distance.
Only Feng Ziying started chatting with interest. When he learned that Liu Laoshi's family used to make a living on Huangmu Pier, he smiled and asked: "Huangmu Pier? That's a coincidence. That's the Huangdian there, and the person in charge is the housekeeper."
The third son of the Dong family in the mansion is named Dong Ye, and we are usually on good terms with each other."
Liu Laoshi, Tieniu and Aunt Chun were shocked when they heard this. Aunt Chun lost her voice and said, "Do you know Dong Papi?"
Feng Ziying laughed and said: "I knew he had such a nickname, but he still doesn't admit it. Let's see what he says next time we have a drink."
When Aunt Chun heard this, her expression immediately changed, her face turned pale, and she almost shed tears.
Feng Ziying said hurriedly: "Auntie, please don't misunderstand me. Dong Ye is a brother in our army and we are very close. If he dares to make things difficult for you, I will not spare him."
After hearing this, Aunt Chun's face immediately regained its expression, and she said with excitement: "Can the uncle please let him be so noble? Let's..."
"aunt."
Jia Qiang interrupted Aunt Chun's plea and said warmly: "Someone sent you a special message to drive you out of the dock. This was not just the intention of Dong Papi. If you want him to change his mind, it will cost a lot of money."
A lot of effort. The key is, it’s not worth it.”
Aunt Chun is worthy of being an old Jianghu who has been hanging around for many years on the wharf where various religions gather. She immediately saw some clues from this sentence and said with a smile: "I am just talking in plain words, and I am a little reluctant to let it go. But really let me go back there again."
I'm not happy living in a shabby courtyard. You guys, get in quickly, get in quickly." He shouted again: "Tieniu, you bastard, even the pigs raised in Nanshi are more discerning than you.
Why are you still squatting there?"
The smile on Feng Ziying's face did not change, while Xue Pan looked at the iron-tower-like Iron Niu and kept curling his lips like a waste. Baoyu and Qiguan quietly looked at Jia Qiang, and saw that he invited the four people in with a normal look on his face.
, I didn’t feel embarrassed at all, and I was full of praise in my heart.
Without further words, the group passed through the screen door and arrived at the back house to head to the east road today.
