When Jiao Da woke up, he found an extra gold ingot in his hand.

Looking back on everything last night, it turned out to be true.

Since Uncle Rong thinks highly of me, I can’t cause trouble for Uncle Rong.

This is what Jiao Da thinks in his heart, but his actions are not like this.

He drank a few sips of wine that day and suddenly got carried away and went out with the gold ingot to show off.

"This is what Uncle Rong gave me. Do you see this seal? This is a gift specially given to Uncle Rong, and now it is given to me."

"Do you know what Uncle Rong said?"

"Uncle Rong said he treated us old people badly. If he were in charge, he would definitely make us old people live better than last year."

Many people don't believe it, but that gold ingot is real.

A bold Xiaosi stepped forward and said, "Jiao Da, show me this thing."

"No, this is what Uncle Rong gave me."

Servant: "Are you lying? Can Uncle Rong give it to you? Could it be that you stole it?"

"That's right, you stole it."

"Nonsense, I just got it last night. Where did I steal it? If you don't believe me, ask me."

Jiao Da stuffed the gold ingot into his arms and ate a few fennel beans, "Now the Duke of Guo has the final say in the house, and the Duke of Guo will not care about the lives of us people."

"These days are getting worse every day."

What Jiao Da said is the truth. The life of the Duke's government is getting worse day by day.

The Duke spends his days drinking and drinking, not doing his job properly. He raises more warblers and swallows than anyone else, and the money he spends is like running water.

In order to ensure that the Duke is happy and romantic, the housekeeper can only reduce the clothing expenses of the servants.

When the old people think back to the days when the previous Duke of Guo was here, it must be said that they were comfortable. After working here for a month, they could buy three or four acres of high-quality farmland in their hometown.

Not now.

Aunt Seven, who is also an old man, sat over and said, "Jiao Da, did Uncle Rong really say that?"

"Can this be fake?

Uncle Rong reads the books of sages and knows who is kind to him.

When he becomes a Jinshi in high school in the future, those of us who follow him will definitely live a good life."

Everyone laughed at him, "Who can believe what you say?"

"It's not like we don't know what Uncle Rong is like."

"Uncle Rong has changed his temper, maybe it's a good thing. Jiao Da, it's not good to keep this gold ingot of yours, so why don't I help you keep it?"

"It's not like this. Grandpa Jiao, I'll buy you a drink, and you can reward me with some coins as you like."

Jiao Da ignored them, drove these boys away, and went to buy wine by himself.

Aunt Qi followed Jiao Da away and pulled Jiao Da into a corner.

Aunt Seven said: "You must not tell anyone. In the past, Uncle Rong was like a chicken in front of the Duke. He was very scared when he saw an eagle."

"You are so careless and talking nonsense everywhere, you will definitely bring trouble to Uncle Rong."

After Jiao Da came down from the battlefield and lived in a house for several decades, how could he not know that misfortune always comes from the mouth?

I no longer dare to say in public that Uncle Rong gave him gold.

Aunt Seven left to chat with her good sisters.

From here he ran to another courtyard and spread what Jia Rong said to Jiao Da.

These words were spread in private, and few of the masters in the house knew about them.

"Is this really what Uncle Rong said?" Butler Lai asked Madam.

Lai's second daughter-in-law said: "You can't be wrong, what they said is clear-cut."

Laiji is the housekeeper, so he naturally knows the money situation in this mansion. This palace seems to be prosperous and wealthy, but the money on the books is getting less and less every year.

The Duke of Guo can spend more than half a year's land rent in one month, and sometimes he pawns a top-notch shop for the sake of an oiran.

It can be said that the government of this country spends next year's money this year, although it can still get a lot of money from it.

But the amount of money gained is getting less and less every year.

Uncle Rong seems to be studying hard. I wonder if he will have great fortune in the future.

Maybe...

Butler Lai didn't dare to think too much, "Don't spread these words indiscriminately, just do the things in front of you."

The family in the Duke's mansion gave birth to a son, and the old man showed his kindness to Jia Rong intentionally or unintentionally.

Jia Rong was reading in the study, and a maid named Zi Qing brought snacks.

"Uncle Rong, you have been reading for three hours. Why don't you come and have some snacks? Eat and drink well so that you will have more energy to read."

Zi Qing put down her snack, put her hands on his shoulders, and gently massaged his shoulders.

Jia Rong raised her head and said, "Your neck is sore, please rub it."

"My mother specially made these snacks for you, and brought them to you as soon as they were baked."

"Yeah." He took a bite and said, "It's delicious."

"Ask your mother to make more and send them to the mountain chief."

"Yes."

"Your mother took all the trouble. Thank her for me. I feel most at ease when she does her job."

A small compliment can make the cook happy for several days, and he is not stingy with praise.

Verbal praise should be given as much as you want, and it won’t be a piece of meat. What can you do if you praise more?

Jia Rong: When it comes to winning people's hearts, who can be better than me?

After the eighth day of the first lunar month, school starts and ends again on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

He likes to walk from ethnography to home.

Firstly, you can learn about people’s livelihood, secondly, you can eat a lot of street food, and thirdly, you can see many beauties.

These married women have to set up stalls in order to make a living. They are neither old nor young, and it is their prime time to look good.

In the cold winter, you can eat barbecue and grilled persimmons, and ask the store to use tile barbecue, which tastes even better.

In spring, you can eat edamame, mugwort dumplings, and wild vegetable clams.

In summer, I pass by a stall and eat cold mung bean soup before going home.

In autumn, he spends less time walking. As autumn begins, he spends more time memorizing books and eating on the road.

"Uncle Rong, do you want to try your favorite roasted gluten?"

Jia Rong didn't hear anything and walked over directly.

"Uncle Rong, there is a new fruit in the Nu family. Do you want to try one?"

"Uncle Rong, come and see, this new gadget from Persia."

Jia Rong ignored it and focused on the book.

The boys who followed Jia Rong pushed away the people who came by.

"I didn't see my uncle reading a book. I can't forgive you for disturbing my uncle's good things."

"Go, go, let's go."

"Uncle, it's time for Qiuwei. You guys go on your way."

Jia Rong concentrated on studying and had no idea what was happening in Jia's house, let alone Jia Baoyu's play with the female relatives.

A few days before Qiu Wei, Jia Rong said to many classmates: "I will definitely make it to high school this time. My classmates, whether you can stand with me in the future depends on your own destiny."

Jin Rong: "Huh, I'm not worse than you, just wait."

Jia Rong goes to study every day and dare not relax at all.

The students who originally wanted to relax before the exam became nervous when they saw Jia Rong's figure.

Jia Rong is working hard, so what qualifications do we have for not working hard?
