Chapter 173 Who is Baoyu scolding?

At this time, the application time has passed,

We have just entered the Youshi moment, and the Spring Tower Winter Meeting is not far away.

Rongguofu,

Outside the clan school hall, after watching the school for a whole day, Jia Rui was also irritated and depressed.

It was announced early that East Class was over, and all the Jia family children outside the house happily rushed out of the school and went back happily, but Jia Baoyu was a little unhappy.

Do you feel suddenly bored and a little irritable?

The young boy next to him, Mingyan, saw that Mr. Bao looked good, so he asked carefully,

"Second Master, what's wrong with Fu? Does he feel uncomfortable somewhere?"

Jia Baoyu replied listlessly,

"It's a bit boring. I wonder why I didn't compete earlier?"

That's not what I said, and it's not what the big competition is. The second master has the final say, so I have to persuade him with good words.

"Second Master, it's only two or three days. There must be some, so don't be impatient. Then, Second Master Bao, the street in front of the alley is full of snacks. Why don't you go buy some food and then go back home?"

?”

Mingyan's words aroused great interest in Jia Baoyu, and when he touched the money hidden in his arms, he found a lot of broken silver and a lot of copper plates, and his heart was moved.

When I think about it, can I sneak out and ask my mother to keep nagging her endlessly?

"Is that possible? What if mother finds out?"

Mingyan couldn't help but shuddered when she heard Jia Baoyu mention the second wife. That was fine.

"Well, Second Master Bao, let's not go and go back directly to the house?"

Jia Baoyu was even more unhappy, and I gave in. He just said that, and I looked at you.

"Who said you should go back? The street in front of the mansion is so close. Why don't you just go to the door with two servants and two guards and go together? Then leave after shopping."

It was rare to see Jia Baoyu make such a manly decision. Mingyan was a little hesitant, but seeing Master Bao making such a domineering decision, she didn't dare to disobey him, just at that submissive point.

Nodding his head, Jia Baoyu looked calm and his brows were a little relaxed. Seeing that he was moaning and groaning, he couldn't help but cursed,

"I don't want you to hurry up and prepare. Do you really want him to go in person?"

Looking at the somewhat stern Mr. Bao, Mingyan himself moved faster.

Get up and pack away the pens, inks, paper and inkstones that Second Master Bao is sitting on. Those that do not need to be taken back but need to be sorted and put away, are all provided by the government for free to the children of the clan school, and Second Master has everything in his own room.

After finishing cleaning up, Mingyan asked Jia Baoyu to rest for a while, then ran to the concierge, called two boys and a few guards, and rushed back.

Jia Baoyu was walking alone outside the hall. Except for himself, Jia Lan was slowly packing up the books. Seeing this, Jia Baoyu naturally couldn't ignore it, got up and came to Jia Lan's side, helping to put away the books.

Stuffed into Jialan's book bag.

Jia Lan cried out immaturely when he saw this;

"Uncle Bao, thank you."

Jia Baoyu suddenly felt the inexplicable majesty of Ye Chang in his heart. He nodded with dignity, then took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it over.

"Lan'er, Uncle Bao can't take me out either. With that little money, I can buy some food by myself."

"That."

When Jia Lan saw Uncle Bao giving him money, he was also very greedy. His mother blamed him for being very harsh and would not give him a penny, but it seemed that it was not good to ask Uncle Bao for money, so he was very entangled in it.

When Jia Baoyu saw that this was not possible, there was no reason why he could not give away the money himself, he deliberately said with a straight face;

"I, why don't you hold it? Please don't go back too late. My mother won't cut me."

"Ah, uncle, I didn't tell you earlier."

Jia Lan didn't hesitate, he took the money and put it in his arms, picked up his book bag and ran outside.

Looking at Jia Lan running away, he smiled knowingly and told Jia Lan to walk slowly. Mingyan, who was outside with someone, was almost hit by Master Lan. He looked at Lan running away.

The young master also shook his head.

When I came to the library, I shouted outside;

"Second Master Bao, everything is ready. When should we set off?"

When Jia Baoyu heard Ming Yan's shout, he stretched, stood up and walked out, scolding softly;

"What are you shouting for? I'm afraid they won't know."

Mingyan also repeatedly complained that she didn't dare, and the others were even more breathless and didn't dare to breathe.

Jia Baoyu was good at reading people, so he nodded and walked out first. There was a side door in the backyard of Rongguo Mansion. When he went out, he entered an alley. Then he arrived at Ningrong Street and then came to the main street of Shifang.

Although it was already the right time, there were not many people at all. Many people were chatting and asking about the price, and even Jia Baoyu, who was curious about everything, was dazzled.

Jia Baoyu began to stroll from one end of the street. Of course, the discerning people could avoid it to some extent. After all, a half-year-old child with a servant was very protective. At first glance, he was a child of a wealthy family, so he would naturally be less likely to cause trouble.

That's wonderful.

Of course, Jia Baoyu didn't feel anything wrong, and it was the same in the government. He was already used to it. Looking at the small stalls on the street, he naturally moved closer, while the people behind him followed closely, fearing that except for a little mistake,

When the time comes, can my second wife, Mrs. Wang, please ask me for help?

After wandering around for a long time, Jia Baoyu did not buy anything randomly. He first spent more than ten yuan to buy a set of folk clay tumblers, and spent half a fortune to buy muffins, candied haws, rice cakes, and sesame cakes.

, let Mingyan hold her, and just choke.

I saw an interesting place and spent three taels of silver to buy a sculpture. It was a model of a courtyard. There were houses, rockeries, trees, birds, stone stools, tables, etc. outside. It was lifelike and very beautiful, just like a house.

in one's own legs.

Of course, this object is not a valuable item, but in Jia Baoyu's heart, those gold and silver common objects are not comparable to those with artistic conception. The so-called gold and silver are contaminated with filth in the beginning, and are despised.

Although I admired Luo Yunhou's style, I suddenly felt a little disappointed when I didn't want to take him to collect the money. It was indeed tacky.

There are so many people in the world who can't do anything about it and lament it.

Jia Baoyu lamented a little in his heart. Was he attracted by those novel things? Then he came to a bookshop unknowingly. Looking at the bookshop in front of him, Jia Baoyu was a little resistant. Did he think that his second sister liked Dongqi better?

Why don't you buy a chess record and give it to her?

After hesitating at the door for a long time, I gritted my teeth and went in. Inside the quaint bookstore were printed the Four Books and Five Classics for various imperial examinations.

When the shopkeeper saw the rich boy coming, he immediately smiled and hurriedly came out to greet him, smiling:

"Little old man, I'm here to see your young master. What do you need?"

Jia Baoyu was even more disappointed when he saw a very Confucian shopkeeper, and when he saw himself with such an appearance. Sure enough, scholars are not just ordinary people at first, with fame, fame and fortune attached to them all.

Naturally, he didn’t reply in a good tone;

"Instead of buying books, buy some chess records."

Hearing this, the master's tone was a little impatient, and the shopkeeper did not dare to talk nonsense. When he heard whether he wanted to buy the chess records, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly;

"Yes, Master. Is there an original copy there? What do you want, Master?"

Naturally, Jia Baoyu wouldn't buy such a unique copy, just an ordinary one, and he didn't have much money left. The so-called Luoyang paper is expensive, and the price of a book is not cheap. People without some wealth can't afford to read.

Yes, so literati are very respected in Dawu.

"Just buy an ordinary chess book."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment."

The shopkeeper took out a thick chess book from the back. Jia Baoyu was also a little surprised. Is the chess book that big?

As if he could see the noble master's doubts, the shopkeeper carefully followed the words;

"Young Master, this is the Dawu chess record I have come up with. It is a unique copy. If you buy one copy, you won't need any other chess records."

After hearing that explanation, Jia Baoyu suddenly understood and asked directly;

"How much is this?"

The shopkeeper rubbed his legs with narrowed eyes and whispered;

"Sir, if you are young, just ask for five taels of silver. Don't dare to ask for more."

Jia Baoyu frowned. Mingyan had never thought it was that expensive. Seeing Mr. Bao's face, he felt that the money was worth the money and immediately scolded him sharply;

"Shopkeeper, do I want to trick their young master? Do I know who the young master is? Is he from Rongguo Mansion?"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Jia Baoyu. When the shopkeeper heard about Fou Rongguo Mansion, he shrank a little. Who didn't know about the Jia family's behemoth in the capital, so he immediately changed his words and said;

"Young master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm blind, but I can't see Mount Tai. Even if I take this thing for 4 taels of silver, I can't take it for 4 taels of silver."

Jia Baoyu couldn't bear it when he looked at the shop selling miserably and crying. Wasn't he just denying that a common thing worth five taels of silver was worth this?

He took out five taels of silver from his arms and threw it over. The shopkeeper picked it up, bumped it in his lap, connected it, and said:
