Chapter 24 Qingwen is scolded
Speaking of Qingwen's ending, Jia Cong did sigh. However, this was not a reason for a maid to show off in front of her master!
Although she was beautiful, Jia Cong was not a sex-hungry ghost! Besides, if he indulged himself like this, who knew if he would get into trouble in the future? Moreover, what did he think of himself by letting a maid act so arrogantly in front of him?
Qingwen's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this! She was really unwilling in her heart, but she also knew that this matter was irreversible. Even if she went back, she would never be able to return to Baoyu's courtyard. The most likely possibility was that she would be sent out of the mansion and sold out. That kind of life was definitely not what she wanted.
"Third Master, please spare me for once!" Qingwen fell to her knees.
Jia Cong nodded, "Get up! As long as you behave yourself in the room, I won't treat you harshly. However, if there is a next time..."
"I dare not!" Qingwen was frightened and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Jia Cong waved his hand and asked someone to help him up. Then Zhuan'er stepped forward to open the curtain, and Jia Cong brought Xiao Que'er into the house.
Outside the door, Qingwen gritted her teeth and hurried in.
The main hall is right after the entrance. It is much more spacious than the previous one and its layout is similar to the previous Yingchun hall, but it is much more simple and elegant . There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and some clever ornaments around.
The inner room to the east is Jia Cong's bedroom. Inside, there is a large kang with a kang table on it. On the outside, there is a couch and other decorations such as tables and chairs.
"Xiao Que'er will continue to live in this room and take care of me day and night. Clean up the west wing and let Qingwen live there temporarily!"
"There are three rooms in the east wing. One will be set up as a study, one next to the study will be used as a small hall for entertaining guests, and another will be used for bathing. The rest of us will all live in the west wing! If there are any tables, chairs, etc. missing, Qingwen will ask my second sister-in-law to buy them for us."
Qingwen kept them in mind and agreed to all of them, while Xiaoqueer looked around the new residence with joy!
"Okay, Qingwen, go make the arrangements first. If you have any questions, come and ask me again!"
Qingwen bowed and left. Jia Cong smiled at Xiao Que'er and said, "Hurry up and clean up our room!"
The little girl nodded vigorously, her eyes full of joy and satisfaction. It turned out that her Third Master was closer to her!
"I'll go to Mengpo Zhai first. If there's anything wrong in the room, come find me!" Jia Cong said to Xiao Que'er and went towards Mengpo Zhai.
After Jia Cong left, Xiao Que'er rolled around on the couch. This couch was not only softer than her previous small bed , but also much larger. There was simply no better bed than this.
After playing for a while, he secretly looked out the door, then took out all the silver bills in the bag and carefully stuffed them under the box next to the kang table! He also put more than a hundred taels of silver in a box and hid it at the head of the kang.
She opened another bag and put the tea leaves, snacks, etc. in place. Then, she rolled her eyes and took out a lot of snacks and her favorite food, holding them and walked towards the courtyard.
In the yard, Qingwen was cleaning up the house with a group of maids. When they saw Xiaoqueer coming out, all the maids except Qingwen bowed and greeted her.
"Meet Miss Little Sparrow!"
Xiao Que was startled. This was the first time she had heard such a new and respectful title. Then, she giggled, "You don't have to be so reserved. Our Third Master is the best and most considerate to his servants! I have never been beaten or scolded in his room. Moreover, if you make a mistake, I, Xiao Que, am also a loyal person and will definitely plead for you in front of the Third Master."
"These are all the fruits and food that Third Master bought for me. I'll give you some of the profits. From now on, we're a team!"
The little girls looked at each other and felt relieved. If the master was kind, they would live a much more comfortable life! Looking at Xiao Que'er, she was obviously the most favored one by the Third Master. It would be more appropriate to make friends with her.
Several people gathered around and took the food from the little girl's hand. Naturally, all kinds of horses came over, either openly or secretly.
Qingwen, however, paid no attention and continued busying herself inside and outside with the towel in her hand.
But after Jia Cong arrived at Mengpo Zhai, he found two maids standing in front of the door!
Seeing Jia Cong coming, one of the maids bowed and said, "Your servant Jin Chuan'er greets Third Master Cong. Today, the Madam is in Mengpo Zhai to take care of some things. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for Third Master Cong to come in. Please forgive me."
"Oh?" Jia Cong was stunned, then nodded and said, "In that case, I will come back another day after I greet the Second Madam!"
After all, it's someone else's place. You can't take over the reins just because you've come here twice!
After leaving Mengpo Zhai, Jia Cong went to the street to do some shopping and then returned to the yard!
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw several little maids chattering around the little bird, while Qingwen was busy! When they saw Jia Cong coming in, the little maids' expressions changed drastically and they hurriedly saluted.
Jia Cong smiled and walked forward to rub Xiao Que'er's head. "You are just fooling around! These are the snacks I bought for you. These two are for you and Qingwen, and you can divide the others. In addition, I also bought two pieces of cloth. You go and wait outside the door later, and someone will deliver it. You and Qingwen will each have half of one piece, and you and Qingwen can discuss how to divide the remaining piece."
"We are moving to a new house, so let's make some new clothes to wear!"
"Thank you, Third Master!" Everyone hurried to thank him. Qingwen saw that she and Xiaoque'er had the same snacks and cloth, and she felt a little happy. It seemed that this Third Master was a person with a cold face but a warm heart, and the previous reprimand was her fault.
"Third Master, Miss Bao came just now! She said that now that we are close, it will be convenient for her to visit us in the future! However, Third Master is not here, so Miss Bao sat for a while and then left. Just now, Sister Wen Xing gave two pieces of good ink, saying that Miss Bao congratulated Third Master on his new home."
Jia Cong nodded. That's right. His courtyard was the closest to Lixiang Courtyard. After leaving the courtyard gate and passing the alley, he entered through a small corner door and found Lixiang Courtyard.
After some further thought, he decided that he now had a place to stay, so he should invite Yingchun and other acquaintances to come over and host him.
After inviting Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun should also be invited! In this way, Daiyu and Baochai cannot be left out! If these sisters are invited, it is natural not to not invite brothers of the same generation.
After sorting out the ideas, I decided to just invite them all!
I went into the house and asked Xiao Que'er to grind, and he wrote more than ten posts in a row!
"Third Master, what did you write?"
"We have moved to a new house, so it's a good opportunity to host a banquet for all the brothers and sisters. I wanted to invite my second sister and Bao Xiaojie before, but they were busy, so we will invite them together this time."
Xiao Que'er loves lively places the most, and nodded happily immediately.
After writing, he called Qingwen over and asked them to take the invitations respectively and deliver them to everyone. He agreed that two days later, he would host a banquet for everyone, and the names of the guests were all written on the invitations.
