You and other mortals in the Red Chamber
Work related
If you try, then don't waste it, and send it back to me. "The old emperor moved two yuan to one side, and then moved another two yuan after pondering, "These two yuan...give it to the second child.You send it yourself and tell him... to be fine. "
The old servant bowed to accept the order, carefully picked up the two jade plaques and put them in his arms, and was about to go out, but was stopped by the old emperor, "Bag, wait."
When he looked back, he saw that the old emperor had found a red string from nowhere, and was clumsily trying to tie the two jade plaques together.There were no holes in the jade plaque, so he failed.So in a fit of anger, he simply untied it, pulled a pouch from his body, emptied the contents, and put the jade token in it.Then forcefully stuffed them into the hands of the old servant, "You take these two with you, don't take them off, I have to check them every day."
"Master..." The master has a good thing to think of himself as a slave. The old servant is very moved, but he doesn't intend to obey, "The old slave is by your side all day, so why don't you use this thing? You should keep it. Prepare for emergencies."
"Take it. You only need this thing to protect you when you are by my side." The old emperor sighed softly, "It has been decades, and you are the only one who is close to me. If something happens to you again, I will take care of you." You are really lonely. People say that when you grow old, you are a husband and wife, so you are also called a wife. But my wives don’t mention it, you are my real wife, and you have to live a good life with me. "
Seeing that the old servant still wanted to decline, the old emperor glared and scolded: "I even broke my wife out, and you still dare to push it away, so you don't want to be with me? Don't worry, I can see that there are good things in Chongwa Mostly, hurry up and coax him tomorrow, are you afraid that you don't have this jade plaque? If he doesn't give it, hmph, I will punish his father."
The Supreme Emperor even pulled out his shameless "wife", and the old servant finally hung the purse around his waist.And with tears in his eyes, he said that in this life, the time with the master was never in vain.I don't know if it's real, or it's a psychological effect, but the old servant feels that his body is much lighter, and he is full of motivation to go to work.
In the Qianqing Palace, Imam is also listening to the report, and is even more curious about the mysterious jade tablet.What is it that can be valued by that well-informed old man?Don't say it's just top-grade sapphire, even he doesn't care about that thing.
At this time, the idea in Imakami's mind was still to order people to find ways to get things in their hands, and he didn't want to gamble on his position in the heart of the Supreme Emperor.All because, today it is very clear that although he was selected by the old man to inherit the throne, he was never the old man's favorite son, not even ranked among the top ten.
"You mean, Dai Quan went out of the palace alone, or which direction did he go?" Jinshang was still sitting on the kang in the warm pavilion, with many memorials piled up in front of him, with approved and unapproved ones lined up on both sides.
After hearing Jingquan's report, he suddenly felt that he was extremely stupid, and had an urge to tear up all these memorials and throw the old man in the face.
He toiled day and night in state affairs, exhausted his energy during the day, lit lamps and boiled oil at night, and slept less than three hours a day. What was it for?
All my hard work was ignored by the old man, and he took it for granted.As long as he can remember, the old man has never praised him, no matter how well he did, it is luck to get a compliment and make persistent efforts.In the old man's mind, he feared that only the second child was his son, and no matter what happened, the second child would always be the first thing he thought of.Even... the second son couldn't wait to usurp his position, the old man only abolished his position as the crown prince, but he never said he didn't recognize his son.
"The servant has found out that there are ten jade tokens this time, but I don't know what they are used for." Jing Quan's meaning is very clear, there are still several yuan, we can always get them; I don't know what's the use, maybe it's something harmful.
But Jing Quan didn't know that what he cared about today wasn't any bullshit jade brand at all, but his status in the old man's heart.He was born in the royal family and inherited the throne. He has never seen anything good, so why is he greedy for a jade plaque?
He's hungry, it's dad!
Just when I was depressed today, someone came from outside the door to report, "Your Majesty, Deputy Director Liu of Qianqing Palace has been ordered by the Supreme Emperor to see you." Doing the internal affairs of the Qing palace, appearing in front of people less than the old servant's bag, and asking for things delivered by him personally...
Hearing this, his expression is lifted today, and his eyebrows and eyes seem to be flying.At this time, the old man ordered Eunuch Liu to send something, what else could it be?Jinshang couldn't help but wonder in his heart, can he have some expectations?
But immediately, Imaka suppressed all the joy and expectations.It's not that he hasn't been fooled before, so he can't expect too much from that old man, or he might be too disappointed, and then directly despair.
The old man is very tricky, he always does things unexpectedly, who knows if he will send something casually, I can't be so impatient and let him see a joke.Well, you must be calm on the surface, and you must not show emotions or anger; your voice must also be calm, and you must call people in without emotional ups and downs.
"Biography." Very good, well done!
Deputy Manager Liu is a dry little old man, the kind you can't find in the crowd.At this time, he was holding a small plate in his hand. On the small plate were two cyan jade plaques, only the size of a baby's palm, with delicate patterns carved on them.
Today, he seemed very indifferent. After Vice President Liu received the ceremony, he first greeted the Supreme Emperor with concern, and then asked indifferently: "Why did the father order you to come? But what are your orders?"
He had to admit that when he saw the two jade plaques, he felt relieved.Although he was ranked behind the second child, the old man still has him in his heart.After letting go of the old man's son for so many years, Imagami felt that he could finally feel proud.You know, this feeling was not as strong even when he knew that he would inherit the throne.
"The Supreme Emperor ordered you to carry this thing with you without any mistakes." Today he was calm, and the deputy chief was even more calm. His face had been paralyzed for decades, and he had no expression whatsoever.Even the eyes and voice are dull.
Today, I wanted to ask about the purpose of this thing, but Deputy Director Liu didn't know anything about it. He only had one sentence after asking, and the emperor ordered you to carry it with you.The implication is that if you tell you to take it, take it with you, why ask so many questions!
Jing Quan hurriedly took the things over and presented them in front of Imamami.He originally planned to spy on the emperor's private treasury at night for this thing, but now it's easier.
"Tell me, what's the use of this thing?" After dismissing Deputy Manager Liu, he casually picked up a jade plaque, but couldn't see anything unusual about it.And... If you give something away, you can give it away, so the old man can't talk properly?
"Slave is dull." Jing Quan blamed himself in his heart. As His Majesty's chief intelligence officer, he seems to be far behind his predecessors. Many things cannot be found out by His Majesty. It is really useless. I wish I could die. .
"Hehe, since the old man doesn't say anything, I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know what it's useful for. Really, I don't know how brave he is. He dares to use anything of unknown origin. Forget it, it's my son who will do it for him. Worry about it." Just like the old emperor knew his son, he has also studied his father today, "If we find a chance, let's go meet that worm doll in Jia's house."
Instead of guessing and trying here, how convenient it is to ask the doll directly.Besides, today's feelings towards Jia Cong are very complicated, he needs to meet a real person.
"Yes." Jing Quan replied, and then asked with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, didn't you say... don't touch Jia Cong for the time being, and let others take the lead?" fickle, okay? !
"One moment and another moment, don't we have a legitimate reason now. How can the things that the Supreme Emperor touches be unclear, you must ask what is going on." If it is really a good thing, maybe it can be obtained from that baby. Get this out.You know, I also have a son.
"Then now, this jade token..." Should I wear it or not?
Today, he squinted his eyes to look at the two jade plaques, played with his fingertips a few times, and then reluctantly said: "Forget it, since it was ordered by the Supreme Emperor, please bring it to me." Since the old man did not disappoint himself this time , then give him face.
At this time, it happened to be the time for the eunuch in the respect room to give the sign.There are not many people going to the harem for the brand, and the huge tray only takes up half of it.But today, there is a brand new sign, which says "Nvshi Jiashi".
016 Yuanchun
But within a short meal, the news that the emperor had recruited Kunning palace lady Shi Jia Yuanchun spread all over the harem, causing a lot of waves.It's all because Jia Yuanchun is someone close to the empress, is the emperor not picky about food?
You know, today is still relatively principled, and I will never randomly favor a court lady, let alone name someone who will serve by the empress's side.
This Jia Nushi is not easy!
Soon, the eighteen generations of Jia Yuanchun's ancestors were picked up.The eldest granddaughter of the old matriarch Shi of the Rongguo Mansion, this identity alone surprised many people.With such a family background, it's great for marriage, why do you have to go to the palace?It would make sense if she got in and became a concubine, but what about her?Get in and be a female officer.What is a female official, to put it bluntly, is not a slave.
When the news came, Jia Yuanchun was serving the empress - she was playing the piano for the empress.
At this time, Jia Yuanchun was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and when he heard this training, his mood immediately became chaotic, and the sound of the piano under his fingers was flawed.Although he took it back in time, he lost his composure just now.
"Forget it, today is your good day, don't delay here in this palace, go down and get ready." The empress frowned slightly, seeing Jia Yuanchun knelt down anxiously, she couldn't help but smiled again, and comforted her: "Since the emperor ordered It is your blessing to have you, and you must serve the emperor well. It is getting late, go get ready."
Jia Yuanchun was very disturbed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and bowed his head respectfully to withdraw.Only her tightly twisted fingers, which had already turned white, could tell her nervousness.
The family sent her to the palace not for today's sons, but for today's sons.Among them, the best target is the current eldest son of Zhonggong—the Sixth Prince.It was precisely because of this that she was sent to the empress's side, in order to be close to the water and become the first woman of the sixth prince.It's not that she doesn't want to be a concubine, but who told her that she is the eldest granddaughter of the Rongguo Mansion, but she was not born in Chengjue's eldest house.
Originally, the queen had a tacit understanding with her, and she would be given to the sixth prince just before the sixth prince got married.
But I didn't expect... Before I could touch the Sixth Prince's side, I was caught by the Sixth Prince's father... In this way, the Empress might misunderstand her and secretly hide her.Jia Yuanchun smiled wryly, and silently went back to his small room, waiting for the arrival of the eunuch in the respect room.
"Mommy, what do you mean by the emperor? Why do you think of her all of a sudden?" The empress asked with some doubts, leaning on the pillow.Just pure doubt, without any other emotions, such as: jealousy.
He is now forty-five, and the queen is only one year younger than him. She has sons and daughters, and she is too old to fight for pets.What she pays more attention to now is her pair of children.As for who to pet this morning, as long as it doesn't threaten her authority in the middle palace, she doesn't care who she is.
And what she was puzzled at this moment was, based on her understanding of Jinshang, Jia Yuanchun was clearly not Jinshang's favorite type, so why was he picked out for favor?Could it be that he got older and even changed his appetite?
But that's not right either.Jia Yuanchun had been by her side for a while, and there was no sign of it in the past. This favor came so suddenly, the empress felt a little strange no matter what.
"Your Majesty, could it be that the Jia family is playing tricks in the dark? It is obvious that they are forming an alliance with us, but they have other ideas behind their backs. If that is the case, Jia Yuanchun cannot be kept." The mother who spoke was the Queen's confidant, People call it Rongmao.When she mentioned Jia Yuanchun, she was gnashing her teeth.
If Jia Yuanchun had other intentions, he would treat their master and servant as monkeys.Even for the majesty of the empress, Jia Yuanchun must not be let go.Even, the entire Rongguo Mansion will be buried with her.
"No." The empress shook her head, and said in a deep voice, "Don't think that Jia Yuanchun is young, but she has a big heart. Do you think that when there are better choices, she can take a fancy to our nearly fifty-year-old man?" I reckon it's not about Jia Yuanchun's side, I'm afraid something happened to the Rongguo Mansion that reminded the emperor that there is such a person by my side."
"Alas...the four kings and eight princes are all connected and related. Although they are declining day by day, they are still a force that cannot be ignored in the court. I originally planned to use Jia Yuanchun to win them over for Liu'er, but I didn't expect..." Said At this point, the queen suddenly stopped because she thought of another possibility.
Could it be that she has made too many moves recently, which made the emperor aware that this is beating her! ?Thinking of this possibility, the queen couldn't sit still.
"Nurse Rong, send someone to call Liu'er in. The palace has something to ask him. Then send someone to check if there is anything special in the palace recently. In addition, order someone to mention it to my uncle. I should go to Rong The government is moving around."
Not to mention how the empress guessed, but Jinshang entered the Ruanxiang Township on time.In a dormitory behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Jinshang watched Jia Yuanchun wrapped in a quilt and being carried in by the eunuch in the respect room, with his clothes neatly dressed.Although it wasn't the first time he had done this, he still felt that the old man's rules were quite annoying.
"Sit down and talk to me. I heard that you have a brother who was born with jade, named Baoyu? But there are other brothers?" Cong's matter is the point.
Therefore, Jia Yuanchun, who had been doing a good job of psychological construction, was already prepared for that, but was suddenly asked to sit and talk, and was almost choked by the tone he brought up.
"Returning to the emperor, Baoyu is the younger brother of the servant girl. He is only seven years old this year. When he was born, he had a piece of colorful jade in his mouth, so his grandmother named him 'Baoyu'. The servant girl also had a brother who died young. Well, my elder brother has already entered school at the age of fourteen, and he can't make progress. It's a pity..." Jia Yuanchun thought, the brothers in the family, only his own brother can do it, and he died young, so it's useless to talk about it. There will be problems.
It's a pity that Jin Shang didn't care about a dead person, so he interrupted her directly and asked, "What about the other one? There are no cousins? Don't you have any brothers in your uncle's family? I heard that your youngest cousin is only four years old. age?"
Youngest cousin?Jia Yuanchun was obviously taken aback, she didn't understand why the emperor was interested in her cousin.Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to ask, he just said: "The emperor is talking about Cong'er? He is the concubine of the servant uncle, and he should be four years old this year."
Jia Yuanchun didn't dare to say much, she didn't think that the emperor would have anything to do with the four-year-old child, so she instinctively thought of something else, maybe the uncle in the family got into some trouble again, and she couldn't afford Jia Cong's status Is there any problem, is it... In other words, Jia's mother's education of Jia Yuanchun is still successful, although she is thinking a lot, she can't see the slightest bit from her slightly drooping hibiscus face.
"Tell me about Jia Cong. Three or four-year-old dolls should be the most likable. With such a doll by your side, you will never be lonely." The idea I made today is to understand from the side first. Take a look at Jia Cong, and wait until we meet to take the worm doll off the old man's mouth in one fell swoop.Hmph, one day, he will walk in front of the old man with the worm doll in his arms, but he can't figure it out even if he stares blankly.That scene... I feel happy just thinking about it!
What can Jia Cong say?Jia Yuanchun didn't care if he was attractive or not, she even forgot what Jia Cong looked like.Not to mention that she has been in the palace for more than a year, even when she was not in the palace, a cousin who was a concubine, she let him die.
"My servant grew up beside my grandmother, while cousin Cong has always been taken care of by my uncle, so this servant is not familiar with cousin Cong. And when this servant entered the palace, cousin Cong was only three years old..." Bian replied, Jia Yuanchun watched Imamami's expression carefully.It seemed that he was very dissatisfied when he heard the words, so he changed the topic, "However, I remember that Cousin Cong is very cute, he..."
Amidst the doubts that have not been traced today, Master Xianjun is described by Jia Yuanchun as an innocent and lovable younger brother, which is completely in line with Jia Baoyu's image.In her heart, Jia Baoyu is the best younger brother, well-behaved and caring, not to mention cute as Yuxue, and he was born with Baoyu in his mouth.Jia Cong is so lucky to have such a role model.
Jia Yuanchun thought, children are not all the same, just have a model to compare with.And even if Jia Cong is far inferior to Baoyu, she can get away with it, after all, she has been in the palace for more than a year.
"Okay, let's arrange it." The more you listened, the more uncomfortable it became. Today he interrupted Jia Yuanchun with a frown, flicked his sleeves and left the dormitory, completely ignoring Jia Yuanchun who was left behind in astonishment.
He didn't believe a word of this woman's words.I originally planned to give her a canonization for the sake of the two old princes, but now it seems that I have to forget it.
Who is the old man of his family, a doll like a little sheep or a bunny, it's no wonder he can get his favor.Moreover, Jia Cong's deeds these days are all displayed on his desk.That little temper tantrum...could it be a little sheep?
He didn't know that after being missed by the previous emperor, he was also missed by the current emperor. At this time, Mr. Xianjun was still worried about whether to act like a spoiled child.
Seeing him frowning, Mama Liu thought something happened to him outside, and after asking anxiously, she found out that brother was actually worried about this, so she couldn't help laughing secretly.
"What's there to worry about? Isn't it natural for a son to act like a baby with his father? How many sons in their twenties are still acting like a baby with their father? You are only a little old, so what's there to be ashamed of? Let's just say, my brother used to be like a baby. You are too shy to be liked by the Elder Master, so that you have suffered so many mistreatments."
"Brother should be like this..." A series of coquettish Dafa blurted out from Mama Liu's mouth, and Jia Cong was dumbfounded.
Hastily throwing the purse in his arms to Mother Liu, Master Xianjun fled in despair.
He'd better go back and practice hard, after all, nothing is as important as his own cultivation.As for bottlenecks, knots and so on... Let's talk about it when we encounter it.
Part017
As soon as Jia Cong left, Mother Liu was terrified.She had never seen so much silver. There were 1000 bills with a denomination of 3 taels each, which was [-] taels.So much money... how to spend it?Or hide them all?
"Big sister, although there is a lot of money, we can't just sit and eat. It's better to buy some property for the third master. The third master is young now and can't spend much money, but when he grows up in the future, there will be more places to spend money. I Look, I'm afraid there is no one in this mansion to take care of the third master, so we have to think farther for the third master." The Zhang family was stunned when they saw so many banknotes, but quickly figured out what to use.
Mother Liu nodded sharply after hearing this, and felt that this made a lot of sense.Think about it, her brother will be a concubine in the future, and he will make trouble like that again, don't even think about the title, and he doesn't know if he will have a share of the family property in the future.It's better to take advantage of the money in hand now and buy some property first, so as to save yourself a sad life in the future.Mother Liu couldn't help but feel happy when she thought that her brother would live a prosperous life even if he separated in the future.
But immediately she said with distressed expression on her face: "Speaking of buying property, we two women don't understand anything and have no connections. Can we do it? If we are cheated by someone at that time, wouldn't it be a disaster?" Bro."
"What's wrong, at worst, let's go to the officials, that is, spend more money, and then report the name of the Rongguo Mansion. Thinking about it, they don't dare to falsify. If we don't say anything else, if we are really kicked out in the future, we have to have A place to live and live." The Zhang family thought very clearly.
"That's true." Liu's mother nodded when she heard the words, took her hand and sighed: "Sister Zhang's family, you really don't come from a farming family. In terms of knowledge, you know more about giving birth to a rich family than me."
"Look at what you said, I just saw more outside. I don't know anything. You are different. Once you enter the Houmen, it's as deep as the sea, and I'm afraid you haven't even been out of the door a few times." Zhang's family Smiling, I was relieved to see that I had fooled Mama Liu.
The two women were thinking about how to set up an estate for Jia Cong, but Jia Cong was already immersed in the indescribable practice.It is good to arrange a large gathering spirit formation, and it is fast to practice!Although it is far less than when he was in the fairy world, but compared to the speed of the snail crawling before, this is riding a flying sword.
It took Jia Cong two months to cultivate to the second floor of Qi Refining, but only a few days after setting up the spirit gathering array, he has already reached the peak of the second floor.After today, you will definitely be able to step into the third level of Qi Refining.It's just... It's too expensive to use the spirit stone.
The next day, when Jia Cong opened his eyes again, he was already at the third level of Qi Refining, and he opened his mouth slightly and let out a mouthful of turbid air.Feeling the true energy flowing in his body automatically, Jia Cong couldn't help smiling.From this moment on, even if he didn't cultivate on purpose, his true qi would flow automatically and spontaneously.
Then focus on the sea of consciousness, the chaotic bead is spinning leisurely by itself, it looks the same as usual at first glance.But Jia Cong found out carefully that the bead turned faster than when he was Xianjun Cong.Although he couldn't see it, he could feel that the Chaos Orb was exuding an invisible aura, slowly nourishing his seriously injured soul that was sealed by him.
At this time, Mother Liu knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Brother, are you already up? Come and wipe your face, breakfast is ready, and Sister Zhang will bring it in for you. Brother, I will wait a while Sister Zhang and I are going out to do some business, can you do it here by yourself? If there is anything you want, I will bring it back from the street, okay?"
As soon as she heard her talking about eating, Jia Congfang remembered about Bigu Pill again, and hurriedly ordered the names of many ingredients, asking Mama Liu and the others to buy them back.Recently, he planned to retreat and devote himself to cultivation, and he didn't plan to leave the closed door until he established the foundation.This time... I guess it will take about half a year, and it needs to be refined more.It will be fine after the foundation is established, and the body can already indica, so there is no need for that thing.
Because he asked for too many things, it took Mama Liu a long time to write them down. Before leaving, she was still muttering, why did he want these messy things, brother made her more and more confused?It was the Zhang family who advised her that whatever she wants is the master's business, and they don't need to ask so many questions as servants.
Liu's mother's trip to buy property was surprisingly smooth.In just one day, Jia Cong already had a mansion with five entrances and five exits, with gardens in the front and back, three neighboring houses in a prosperous area, with shops in the front and houses in the back. There are three farms, and a hundred-acre hot spring village on Xiaotang Mountain used to grow vegetables...
"Sister Zhang, why am I so unreliable in my heart? It's only 3 taels of silver, how can we buy so many properties? That tooth, are you lying to us? Why don't we refund some and keep more?" It’s good to have money.” When spending money, she was very happy, but when she came back, Mama Liu’s legs began to weaken.Just today, more than 3 taels were spent through her hands, more than 3 taels of silver!
Not to mention that there was nothing left of the bank note my brother gave her yesterday, and the 5000 taels that I gave her at the beginning also cost almost 1000 taels.Now she got scared, afraid that she would be cheated and lose all her brother's property.
"What's the refund? If we didn't catch up this time, we wouldn't be able to buy these good things. Just in the hot spring village in Xiaotangshan, I only heard of buying them, but I didn't hear of selling them. We caught up with this one." , is also the blessing of the third master. Besides, we have visited the place, and the deed is clear, so what can happen." The Zhang family helped her to the bed and comforted her.
Today is also an eye-opener. A big house with five entries and five exits costs 5000 taels of silver to take home; a prosperous shop in an excellent location only costs 3000 taels; and the thousand-acre farmland costs only four taels of silver. One mu; not to mention the hot spring village that has always been priceless, only 4000 taels, four thousand!How can this embarrass the person who can't find a place to buy it for 4 taels?After this business is done, I don't know how much I will lose.
When Jia Cong heard about this, he just nodded to show that he knew.What he focused on was the material of Bigu Pill. Although the quality was far worse than that of Immortal Realm, it was still good enough.So he left a sentence not to disturb, and excitedly went back to practice alchemy and retreat.
However, his retreat has suffered many people.For example, an emperor who planned to meet him by chance almost threw a cup in Qianqing Palace.
No wonder the old man likes this Jia Cong. It turns out that he and the old man are both related, and they are specifically against him.A while ago, I wandered around the streets at every turn, and had a heated fight with the old man. When he wanted to meet him, it would be good, and I learned to be cute.People who don't leave the gate don't go out, and don't know if they grow hair at home.
But there are many eyes staring at him, especially the old man who is not too old and dim-sighted. He dare not use strong methods today, not to mention how aggrieved he feels.When I think of this, I curse in my heart: Little bastard, if you have the ability, don't go out for the rest of your life, don't let me catch you, or... hum!
Jia Cong retreated, but Jia's mother was not idle.The last time I asked the second couple to invite Wang Ziteng and Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but neither of them came to the door, and they all shirked.Mother Jia was so angry that her head hurt, and she didn't show Mrs. Wang a good face for two or three days.No, as soon as I heard that Ma Daopo was out of customs, I immediately ordered someone to invite her.
"Hearing what you said, this evildoer is really powerful. I'm afraid it's possessed by an old ghost for many years. It's not easy to handle." Ma Daopo was thinking quickly how much money he could get this time.Seeing the anxious look of this old lady, she might be able to kill her severely.
Mother Jia understood what she meant, she looked down on her very much, and said in a very bold tone, "Just deal with that evildoer, and report to the second wife for any consumption. In addition, if you can accept that evildoer, I will prepare 1000 yuan for you." Two thanks. Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied! This is your order, old lady. I have to do it for you even if my mana is damaged. If that's the case, then I will go to find out about that evildoer first, and then I will reply to you " Ma Daopo was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, and followed the maid who led the way to the field inspection.
It was still far away from Jia Cong's yard, so the maid didn't dare to go any further, she turned around and ran after showing Ma Daopo the way, as if there was a ghost chasing after her.Seeing Ma Daopo's heart skipping a beat, could it be... there is really a ghost?
Ma Daopo knew very well how capable she was, so she couldn't help beating her heart.If you ask her to make a little ghost and curse someone, that's fine, but if you really want her to fight fierce ghosts, she really doesn't have that ability.She just learned some witchcraft and sorcery in her early years, so she can make small troubles, and she goes up to deliver food on big occasions.
At first when the Rongguo Mansion looked for her, she just thought it was a child who had run into something evil, and it was nothing serious.But looking at this servant girl's appearance now, could it be that it's really a ghost?
But she immediately shook her head, this is the capital city, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, protected by the aura of a real dragon, no ghosts would come here to cause trouble without opening their eyes.I'm afraid, this is spreading rumors, and the maid was so timid, that's why she was so frightened.Thinking of this, Ma Daopo relaxed again, laughing secretly that she was the same, how many storms and waves have passed, why can't she still be calm.
She Shi Shiran came to Jia Cong's small courtyard, looked in through the door, and found that it was an ordinary small courtyard without any spooky atmosphere, so she felt more at ease.
He raised his foot and was about to go in, but suddenly stopped, thought for a while and took out two pieces of yellow talisman paper from his bosom, and held them between his fingertips.Although she didn't feel the danger, she still took some protection just in case.
Of course, Ma Daopo was also prepared to retreat immediately if the situation was not right, but as soon as she stepped into the gate of this courtyard, she understood what it means to be involuntary.In front of her was a white mist, and she couldn't see anything; behind her was a monster chasing wildly, its bloody mouth could swallow her at any time, and she couldn't do anything except run wildly.As for the two talisman papers, they turned to ashes with black smoke.
"What did you say, Ma Daopo was also carried out?" Mother Jia was shocked when she got the news, her face was full of surprise.Unlike those monks and priests, she has seen Ma Daopo's mana, and she also asked her to do things back then, and the cooperation was very pleasant.Originally, he thought that he would be able to catch him this time, but he didn't expect to suffer a big loss when he saw her.Could it be...is there really no one who can stop that evildoer?
"Old lady, old lady..."
Jia's mother was depressed, but she saw that Mrs. Wang broke in without notification, her face became more and more gloomy, and she shouted: "What are you shouting about? Are there any rules? What's the big deal, it's worth your fuss, no It must be said to be petty." At this moment, she felt that Mrs. Wang knew about Ma Daopo and was so frightened.
Mrs. Wang was so embarrassed by her drink that she straightened her face immediately, bowed her head, and said: "The daughter-in-law is rude, please forgive me? However, this matter is of great importance, and the old lady should stay away, daughter-in-law. There is something important to report."
Seeing that she was really busy, Jia Mu gave Yuanyang a wink, and soon there were only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left in the room.After hearing Mrs. Wang's whisper, Jia's mother also showed a surprised expression on her face.
"You mean, Yuan Chun was lucky enough to be recruited by the Holy One? This... what happened, was it arranged by the empress? Or was it Yuan girl's own idea? Why didn't there be any warning in advance?" Jia Mu's face was cloudy, He quickly calculated the gains and losses in his heart.
It is of course good to be able to climb up to today, but why didn't they think about today?It's all because, back then, the four kings and eight princes all supported the abolition of the crown prince, and they are not quite on the same page as they are now, and they have ties in each other's hearts.Instead of putting the treasure on the offended Jinshang, it is better to bet on the princes.
Rongguo Mansion took the opportunity to be silent for several years, not to attract the attention of today.When the next emperor comes to power, the Rongguo Mansion will soar into the sky.At that time, with Yuanchun as the favorite concubine and Baoyu as the important minister outside, the Rongguo Mansion will surely return to its former glory.
Jia's mother's calculation was very good, but now something went wrong.It was just a random step today, and it disrupted her entire layout, and I don't know if it was unintentional or intentional.If it's unintentional, it's fine just to look at Yuan Chun, but if it's intentional, then...
"It was just now that Eunuch Xia, the head of the six palaces, ordered someone to announce the good news. He said that girl Yuan was handpicked by the sage, and it was not the empress's or Yuan Chun's idea." Mrs. Wang was a little bit sad and happy, and her mood was very complicated.
The daughter was favored by the Holy Majesty, so she might be soaring into the sky right in front of her eyes, so it should be a good thing.But when she thought that Jinshang was older than her master, she couldn't help feeling wronged for her daughter.If Yuan Chun hadn't entered the palace... well, what's the use of thinking about it now.
"Did the eunuch Xia say anything about how the Holy Majesty granted Yuanchun the title?" The granddaughter was favored by the present, and this matter was a foregone conclusion, and Jiamu had no choice.At this time, there is only one step to look at.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang showed resentment, "That's what I want to say. Old lady, eunuch Xia wrote a letter saying that Yuan Chun has been favored for a few days, but the Holy Majesty has not been canonized for a long time. You say, yes Isn't someone playing tricks here?"
Jia Mu pondered and remained silent.She understood what Wang meant, and she meant that the empress might be in the way. In fact, she herself also had such doubts.After all, they originally wanted to marry someone, but they suddenly pried into someone's corner.If it was her, how could she not trip her up?
In the upper room, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law faced each other silently, but there was nothing they could do.If the Holy Majesty doesn't grant Yuanchun canonization, they can't make an imperial decree for him, right?Now, we can only hope that the Holy Majesty didn't throw Yuan Chun away on a whim, leaving her in the palace for nothing.
Part018
In a blink of an eye, Jia Cong has been in seclusion for nearly a month.
The old servant bowed to accept the order, carefully picked up the two jade plaques and put them in his arms, and was about to go out, but was stopped by the old emperor, "Bag, wait."
When he looked back, he saw that the old emperor had found a red string from nowhere, and was clumsily trying to tie the two jade plaques together.There were no holes in the jade plaque, so he failed.So in a fit of anger, he simply untied it, pulled a pouch from his body, emptied the contents, and put the jade token in it.Then forcefully stuffed them into the hands of the old servant, "You take these two with you, don't take them off, I have to check them every day."
"Master..." The master has a good thing to think of himself as a slave. The old servant is very moved, but he doesn't intend to obey, "The old slave is by your side all day, so why don't you use this thing? You should keep it. Prepare for emergencies."
"Take it. You only need this thing to protect you when you are by my side." The old emperor sighed softly, "It has been decades, and you are the only one who is close to me. If something happens to you again, I will take care of you." You are really lonely. People say that when you grow old, you are a husband and wife, so you are also called a wife. But my wives don’t mention it, you are my real wife, and you have to live a good life with me. "
Seeing that the old servant still wanted to decline, the old emperor glared and scolded: "I even broke my wife out, and you still dare to push it away, so you don't want to be with me? Don't worry, I can see that there are good things in Chongwa Mostly, hurry up and coax him tomorrow, are you afraid that you don't have this jade plaque? If he doesn't give it, hmph, I will punish his father."
The Supreme Emperor even pulled out his shameless "wife", and the old servant finally hung the purse around his waist.And with tears in his eyes, he said that in this life, the time with the master was never in vain.I don't know if it's real, or it's a psychological effect, but the old servant feels that his body is much lighter, and he is full of motivation to go to work.
In the Qianqing Palace, Imam is also listening to the report, and is even more curious about the mysterious jade tablet.What is it that can be valued by that well-informed old man?Don't say it's just top-grade sapphire, even he doesn't care about that thing.
At this time, the idea in Imakami's mind was still to order people to find ways to get things in their hands, and he didn't want to gamble on his position in the heart of the Supreme Emperor.All because, today it is very clear that although he was selected by the old man to inherit the throne, he was never the old man's favorite son, not even ranked among the top ten.
"You mean, Dai Quan went out of the palace alone, or which direction did he go?" Jinshang was still sitting on the kang in the warm pavilion, with many memorials piled up in front of him, with approved and unapproved ones lined up on both sides.
After hearing Jingquan's report, he suddenly felt that he was extremely stupid, and had an urge to tear up all these memorials and throw the old man in the face.
He toiled day and night in state affairs, exhausted his energy during the day, lit lamps and boiled oil at night, and slept less than three hours a day. What was it for?
All my hard work was ignored by the old man, and he took it for granted.As long as he can remember, the old man has never praised him, no matter how well he did, it is luck to get a compliment and make persistent efforts.In the old man's mind, he feared that only the second child was his son, and no matter what happened, the second child would always be the first thing he thought of.Even... the second son couldn't wait to usurp his position, the old man only abolished his position as the crown prince, but he never said he didn't recognize his son.
"The servant has found out that there are ten jade tokens this time, but I don't know what they are used for." Jing Quan's meaning is very clear, there are still several yuan, we can always get them; I don't know what's the use, maybe it's something harmful.
But Jing Quan didn't know that what he cared about today wasn't any bullshit jade brand at all, but his status in the old man's heart.He was born in the royal family and inherited the throne. He has never seen anything good, so why is he greedy for a jade plaque?
He's hungry, it's dad!
Just when I was depressed today, someone came from outside the door to report, "Your Majesty, Deputy Director Liu of Qianqing Palace has been ordered by the Supreme Emperor to see you." Doing the internal affairs of the Qing palace, appearing in front of people less than the old servant's bag, and asking for things delivered by him personally...
Hearing this, his expression is lifted today, and his eyebrows and eyes seem to be flying.At this time, the old man ordered Eunuch Liu to send something, what else could it be?Jinshang couldn't help but wonder in his heart, can he have some expectations?
But immediately, Imaka suppressed all the joy and expectations.It's not that he hasn't been fooled before, so he can't expect too much from that old man, or he might be too disappointed, and then directly despair.
The old man is very tricky, he always does things unexpectedly, who knows if he will send something casually, I can't be so impatient and let him see a joke.Well, you must be calm on the surface, and you must not show emotions or anger; your voice must also be calm, and you must call people in without emotional ups and downs.
"Biography." Very good, well done!
Deputy Manager Liu is a dry little old man, the kind you can't find in the crowd.At this time, he was holding a small plate in his hand. On the small plate were two cyan jade plaques, only the size of a baby's palm, with delicate patterns carved on them.
Today, he seemed very indifferent. After Vice President Liu received the ceremony, he first greeted the Supreme Emperor with concern, and then asked indifferently: "Why did the father order you to come? But what are your orders?"
He had to admit that when he saw the two jade plaques, he felt relieved.Although he was ranked behind the second child, the old man still has him in his heart.After letting go of the old man's son for so many years, Imagami felt that he could finally feel proud.You know, this feeling was not as strong even when he knew that he would inherit the throne.
"The Supreme Emperor ordered you to carry this thing with you without any mistakes." Today he was calm, and the deputy chief was even more calm. His face had been paralyzed for decades, and he had no expression whatsoever.Even the eyes and voice are dull.
Today, I wanted to ask about the purpose of this thing, but Deputy Director Liu didn't know anything about it. He only had one sentence after asking, and the emperor ordered you to carry it with you.The implication is that if you tell you to take it, take it with you, why ask so many questions!
Jing Quan hurriedly took the things over and presented them in front of Imamami.He originally planned to spy on the emperor's private treasury at night for this thing, but now it's easier.
"Tell me, what's the use of this thing?" After dismissing Deputy Manager Liu, he casually picked up a jade plaque, but couldn't see anything unusual about it.And... If you give something away, you can give it away, so the old man can't talk properly?
"Slave is dull." Jing Quan blamed himself in his heart. As His Majesty's chief intelligence officer, he seems to be far behind his predecessors. Many things cannot be found out by His Majesty. It is really useless. I wish I could die. .
"Hehe, since the old man doesn't say anything, I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know what it's useful for. Really, I don't know how brave he is. He dares to use anything of unknown origin. Forget it, it's my son who will do it for him. Worry about it." Just like the old emperor knew his son, he has also studied his father today, "If we find a chance, let's go meet that worm doll in Jia's house."
Instead of guessing and trying here, how convenient it is to ask the doll directly.Besides, today's feelings towards Jia Cong are very complicated, he needs to meet a real person.
"Yes." Jing Quan replied, and then asked with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, didn't you say... don't touch Jia Cong for the time being, and let others take the lead?" fickle, okay? !
"One moment and another moment, don't we have a legitimate reason now. How can the things that the Supreme Emperor touches be unclear, you must ask what is going on." If it is really a good thing, maybe it can be obtained from that baby. Get this out.You know, I also have a son.
"Then now, this jade token..." Should I wear it or not?
Today, he squinted his eyes to look at the two jade plaques, played with his fingertips a few times, and then reluctantly said: "Forget it, since it was ordered by the Supreme Emperor, please bring it to me." Since the old man did not disappoint himself this time , then give him face.
At this time, it happened to be the time for the eunuch in the respect room to give the sign.There are not many people going to the harem for the brand, and the huge tray only takes up half of it.But today, there is a brand new sign, which says "Nvshi Jiashi".
016 Yuanchun
But within a short meal, the news that the emperor had recruited Kunning palace lady Shi Jia Yuanchun spread all over the harem, causing a lot of waves.It's all because Jia Yuanchun is someone close to the empress, is the emperor not picky about food?
You know, today is still relatively principled, and I will never randomly favor a court lady, let alone name someone who will serve by the empress's side.
This Jia Nushi is not easy!
Soon, the eighteen generations of Jia Yuanchun's ancestors were picked up.The eldest granddaughter of the old matriarch Shi of the Rongguo Mansion, this identity alone surprised many people.With such a family background, it's great for marriage, why do you have to go to the palace?It would make sense if she got in and became a concubine, but what about her?Get in and be a female officer.What is a female official, to put it bluntly, is not a slave.
When the news came, Jia Yuanchun was serving the empress - she was playing the piano for the empress.
At this time, Jia Yuanchun was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and when he heard this training, his mood immediately became chaotic, and the sound of the piano under his fingers was flawed.Although he took it back in time, he lost his composure just now.
"Forget it, today is your good day, don't delay here in this palace, go down and get ready." The empress frowned slightly, seeing Jia Yuanchun knelt down anxiously, she couldn't help but smiled again, and comforted her: "Since the emperor ordered It is your blessing to have you, and you must serve the emperor well. It is getting late, go get ready."
Jia Yuanchun was very disturbed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and bowed his head respectfully to withdraw.Only her tightly twisted fingers, which had already turned white, could tell her nervousness.
The family sent her to the palace not for today's sons, but for today's sons.Among them, the best target is the current eldest son of Zhonggong—the Sixth Prince.It was precisely because of this that she was sent to the empress's side, in order to be close to the water and become the first woman of the sixth prince.It's not that she doesn't want to be a concubine, but who told her that she is the eldest granddaughter of the Rongguo Mansion, but she was not born in Chengjue's eldest house.
Originally, the queen had a tacit understanding with her, and she would be given to the sixth prince just before the sixth prince got married.
But I didn't expect... Before I could touch the Sixth Prince's side, I was caught by the Sixth Prince's father... In this way, the Empress might misunderstand her and secretly hide her.Jia Yuanchun smiled wryly, and silently went back to his small room, waiting for the arrival of the eunuch in the respect room.
"Mommy, what do you mean by the emperor? Why do you think of her all of a sudden?" The empress asked with some doubts, leaning on the pillow.Just pure doubt, without any other emotions, such as: jealousy.
He is now forty-five, and the queen is only one year younger than him. She has sons and daughters, and she is too old to fight for pets.What she pays more attention to now is her pair of children.As for who to pet this morning, as long as it doesn't threaten her authority in the middle palace, she doesn't care who she is.
And what she was puzzled at this moment was, based on her understanding of Jinshang, Jia Yuanchun was clearly not Jinshang's favorite type, so why was he picked out for favor?Could it be that he got older and even changed his appetite?
But that's not right either.Jia Yuanchun had been by her side for a while, and there was no sign of it in the past. This favor came so suddenly, the empress felt a little strange no matter what.
"Your Majesty, could it be that the Jia family is playing tricks in the dark? It is obvious that they are forming an alliance with us, but they have other ideas behind their backs. If that is the case, Jia Yuanchun cannot be kept." The mother who spoke was the Queen's confidant, People call it Rongmao.When she mentioned Jia Yuanchun, she was gnashing her teeth.
If Jia Yuanchun had other intentions, he would treat their master and servant as monkeys.Even for the majesty of the empress, Jia Yuanchun must not be let go.Even, the entire Rongguo Mansion will be buried with her.
"No." The empress shook her head, and said in a deep voice, "Don't think that Jia Yuanchun is young, but she has a big heart. Do you think that when there are better choices, she can take a fancy to our nearly fifty-year-old man?" I reckon it's not about Jia Yuanchun's side, I'm afraid something happened to the Rongguo Mansion that reminded the emperor that there is such a person by my side."
"Alas...the four kings and eight princes are all connected and related. Although they are declining day by day, they are still a force that cannot be ignored in the court. I originally planned to use Jia Yuanchun to win them over for Liu'er, but I didn't expect..." Said At this point, the queen suddenly stopped because she thought of another possibility.
Could it be that she has made too many moves recently, which made the emperor aware that this is beating her! ?Thinking of this possibility, the queen couldn't sit still.
"Nurse Rong, send someone to call Liu'er in. The palace has something to ask him. Then send someone to check if there is anything special in the palace recently. In addition, order someone to mention it to my uncle. I should go to Rong The government is moving around."
Not to mention how the empress guessed, but Jinshang entered the Ruanxiang Township on time.In a dormitory behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Jinshang watched Jia Yuanchun wrapped in a quilt and being carried in by the eunuch in the respect room, with his clothes neatly dressed.Although it wasn't the first time he had done this, he still felt that the old man's rules were quite annoying.
"Sit down and talk to me. I heard that you have a brother who was born with jade, named Baoyu? But there are other brothers?" Cong's matter is the point.
Therefore, Jia Yuanchun, who had been doing a good job of psychological construction, was already prepared for that, but was suddenly asked to sit and talk, and was almost choked by the tone he brought up.
"Returning to the emperor, Baoyu is the younger brother of the servant girl. He is only seven years old this year. When he was born, he had a piece of colorful jade in his mouth, so his grandmother named him 'Baoyu'. The servant girl also had a brother who died young. Well, my elder brother has already entered school at the age of fourteen, and he can't make progress. It's a pity..." Jia Yuanchun thought, the brothers in the family, only his own brother can do it, and he died young, so it's useless to talk about it. There will be problems.
It's a pity that Jin Shang didn't care about a dead person, so he interrupted her directly and asked, "What about the other one? There are no cousins? Don't you have any brothers in your uncle's family? I heard that your youngest cousin is only four years old. age?"
Youngest cousin?Jia Yuanchun was obviously taken aback, she didn't understand why the emperor was interested in her cousin.Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't dare to ask, he just said: "The emperor is talking about Cong'er? He is the concubine of the servant uncle, and he should be four years old this year."
Jia Yuanchun didn't dare to say much, she didn't think that the emperor would have anything to do with the four-year-old child, so she instinctively thought of something else, maybe the uncle in the family got into some trouble again, and she couldn't afford Jia Cong's status Is there any problem, is it... In other words, Jia's mother's education of Jia Yuanchun is still successful, although she is thinking a lot, she can't see the slightest bit from her slightly drooping hibiscus face.
"Tell me about Jia Cong. Three or four-year-old dolls should be the most likable. With such a doll by your side, you will never be lonely." The idea I made today is to understand from the side first. Take a look at Jia Cong, and wait until we meet to take the worm doll off the old man's mouth in one fell swoop.Hmph, one day, he will walk in front of the old man with the worm doll in his arms, but he can't figure it out even if he stares blankly.That scene... I feel happy just thinking about it!
What can Jia Cong say?Jia Yuanchun didn't care if he was attractive or not, she even forgot what Jia Cong looked like.Not to mention that she has been in the palace for more than a year, even when she was not in the palace, a cousin who was a concubine, she let him die.
"My servant grew up beside my grandmother, while cousin Cong has always been taken care of by my uncle, so this servant is not familiar with cousin Cong. And when this servant entered the palace, cousin Cong was only three years old..." Bian replied, Jia Yuanchun watched Imamami's expression carefully.It seemed that he was very dissatisfied when he heard the words, so he changed the topic, "However, I remember that Cousin Cong is very cute, he..."
Amidst the doubts that have not been traced today, Master Xianjun is described by Jia Yuanchun as an innocent and lovable younger brother, which is completely in line with Jia Baoyu's image.In her heart, Jia Baoyu is the best younger brother, well-behaved and caring, not to mention cute as Yuxue, and he was born with Baoyu in his mouth.Jia Cong is so lucky to have such a role model.
Jia Yuanchun thought, children are not all the same, just have a model to compare with.And even if Jia Cong is far inferior to Baoyu, she can get away with it, after all, she has been in the palace for more than a year.
"Okay, let's arrange it." The more you listened, the more uncomfortable it became. Today he interrupted Jia Yuanchun with a frown, flicked his sleeves and left the dormitory, completely ignoring Jia Yuanchun who was left behind in astonishment.
He didn't believe a word of this woman's words.I originally planned to give her a canonization for the sake of the two old princes, but now it seems that I have to forget it.
Who is the old man of his family, a doll like a little sheep or a bunny, it's no wonder he can get his favor.Moreover, Jia Cong's deeds these days are all displayed on his desk.That little temper tantrum...could it be a little sheep?
He didn't know that after being missed by the previous emperor, he was also missed by the current emperor. At this time, Mr. Xianjun was still worried about whether to act like a spoiled child.
Seeing him frowning, Mama Liu thought something happened to him outside, and after asking anxiously, she found out that brother was actually worried about this, so she couldn't help laughing secretly.
"What's there to worry about? Isn't it natural for a son to act like a baby with his father? How many sons in their twenties are still acting like a baby with their father? You are only a little old, so what's there to be ashamed of? Let's just say, my brother used to be like a baby. You are too shy to be liked by the Elder Master, so that you have suffered so many mistreatments."
"Brother should be like this..." A series of coquettish Dafa blurted out from Mama Liu's mouth, and Jia Cong was dumbfounded.
Hastily throwing the purse in his arms to Mother Liu, Master Xianjun fled in despair.
He'd better go back and practice hard, after all, nothing is as important as his own cultivation.As for bottlenecks, knots and so on... Let's talk about it when we encounter it.
Part017
As soon as Jia Cong left, Mother Liu was terrified.She had never seen so much silver. There were 1000 bills with a denomination of 3 taels each, which was [-] taels.So much money... how to spend it?Or hide them all?
"Big sister, although there is a lot of money, we can't just sit and eat. It's better to buy some property for the third master. The third master is young now and can't spend much money, but when he grows up in the future, there will be more places to spend money. I Look, I'm afraid there is no one in this mansion to take care of the third master, so we have to think farther for the third master." The Zhang family was stunned when they saw so many banknotes, but quickly figured out what to use.
Mother Liu nodded sharply after hearing this, and felt that this made a lot of sense.Think about it, her brother will be a concubine in the future, and he will make trouble like that again, don't even think about the title, and he doesn't know if he will have a share of the family property in the future.It's better to take advantage of the money in hand now and buy some property first, so as to save yourself a sad life in the future.Mother Liu couldn't help but feel happy when she thought that her brother would live a prosperous life even if he separated in the future.
But immediately she said with distressed expression on her face: "Speaking of buying property, we two women don't understand anything and have no connections. Can we do it? If we are cheated by someone at that time, wouldn't it be a disaster?" Bro."
"What's wrong, at worst, let's go to the officials, that is, spend more money, and then report the name of the Rongguo Mansion. Thinking about it, they don't dare to falsify. If we don't say anything else, if we are really kicked out in the future, we have to have A place to live and live." The Zhang family thought very clearly.
"That's true." Liu's mother nodded when she heard the words, took her hand and sighed: "Sister Zhang's family, you really don't come from a farming family. In terms of knowledge, you know more about giving birth to a rich family than me."
"Look at what you said, I just saw more outside. I don't know anything. You are different. Once you enter the Houmen, it's as deep as the sea, and I'm afraid you haven't even been out of the door a few times." Zhang's family Smiling, I was relieved to see that I had fooled Mama Liu.
The two women were thinking about how to set up an estate for Jia Cong, but Jia Cong was already immersed in the indescribable practice.It is good to arrange a large gathering spirit formation, and it is fast to practice!Although it is far less than when he was in the fairy world, but compared to the speed of the snail crawling before, this is riding a flying sword.
It took Jia Cong two months to cultivate to the second floor of Qi Refining, but only a few days after setting up the spirit gathering array, he has already reached the peak of the second floor.After today, you will definitely be able to step into the third level of Qi Refining.It's just... It's too expensive to use the spirit stone.
The next day, when Jia Cong opened his eyes again, he was already at the third level of Qi Refining, and he opened his mouth slightly and let out a mouthful of turbid air.Feeling the true energy flowing in his body automatically, Jia Cong couldn't help smiling.From this moment on, even if he didn't cultivate on purpose, his true qi would flow automatically and spontaneously.
Then focus on the sea of consciousness, the chaotic bead is spinning leisurely by itself, it looks the same as usual at first glance.But Jia Cong found out carefully that the bead turned faster than when he was Xianjun Cong.Although he couldn't see it, he could feel that the Chaos Orb was exuding an invisible aura, slowly nourishing his seriously injured soul that was sealed by him.
At this time, Mother Liu knocked on the door and came in, saying: "Brother, are you already up? Come and wipe your face, breakfast is ready, and Sister Zhang will bring it in for you. Brother, I will wait a while Sister Zhang and I are going out to do some business, can you do it here by yourself? If there is anything you want, I will bring it back from the street, okay?"
As soon as she heard her talking about eating, Jia Congfang remembered about Bigu Pill again, and hurriedly ordered the names of many ingredients, asking Mama Liu and the others to buy them back.Recently, he planned to retreat and devote himself to cultivation, and he didn't plan to leave the closed door until he established the foundation.This time... I guess it will take about half a year, and it needs to be refined more.It will be fine after the foundation is established, and the body can already indica, so there is no need for that thing.
Because he asked for too many things, it took Mama Liu a long time to write them down. Before leaving, she was still muttering, why did he want these messy things, brother made her more and more confused?It was the Zhang family who advised her that whatever she wants is the master's business, and they don't need to ask so many questions as servants.
Liu's mother's trip to buy property was surprisingly smooth.In just one day, Jia Cong already had a mansion with five entrances and five exits, with gardens in the front and back, three neighboring houses in a prosperous area, with shops in the front and houses in the back. There are three farms, and a hundred-acre hot spring village on Xiaotang Mountain used to grow vegetables...
"Sister Zhang, why am I so unreliable in my heart? It's only 3 taels of silver, how can we buy so many properties? That tooth, are you lying to us? Why don't we refund some and keep more?" It’s good to have money.” When spending money, she was very happy, but when she came back, Mama Liu’s legs began to weaken.Just today, more than 3 taels were spent through her hands, more than 3 taels of silver!
Not to mention that there was nothing left of the bank note my brother gave her yesterday, and the 5000 taels that I gave her at the beginning also cost almost 1000 taels.Now she got scared, afraid that she would be cheated and lose all her brother's property.
"What's the refund? If we didn't catch up this time, we wouldn't be able to buy these good things. Just in the hot spring village in Xiaotangshan, I only heard of buying them, but I didn't hear of selling them. We caught up with this one." , is also the blessing of the third master. Besides, we have visited the place, and the deed is clear, so what can happen." The Zhang family helped her to the bed and comforted her.
Today is also an eye-opener. A big house with five entries and five exits costs 5000 taels of silver to take home; a prosperous shop in an excellent location only costs 3000 taels; and the thousand-acre farmland costs only four taels of silver. One mu; not to mention the hot spring village that has always been priceless, only 4000 taels, four thousand!How can this embarrass the person who can't find a place to buy it for 4 taels?After this business is done, I don't know how much I will lose.
When Jia Cong heard about this, he just nodded to show that he knew.What he focused on was the material of Bigu Pill. Although the quality was far worse than that of Immortal Realm, it was still good enough.So he left a sentence not to disturb, and excitedly went back to practice alchemy and retreat.
However, his retreat has suffered many people.For example, an emperor who planned to meet him by chance almost threw a cup in Qianqing Palace.
No wonder the old man likes this Jia Cong. It turns out that he and the old man are both related, and they are specifically against him.A while ago, I wandered around the streets at every turn, and had a heated fight with the old man. When he wanted to meet him, it would be good, and I learned to be cute.People who don't leave the gate don't go out, and don't know if they grow hair at home.
But there are many eyes staring at him, especially the old man who is not too old and dim-sighted. He dare not use strong methods today, not to mention how aggrieved he feels.When I think of this, I curse in my heart: Little bastard, if you have the ability, don't go out for the rest of your life, don't let me catch you, or... hum!
Jia Cong retreated, but Jia's mother was not idle.The last time I asked the second couple to invite Wang Ziteng and Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but neither of them came to the door, and they all shirked.Mother Jia was so angry that her head hurt, and she didn't show Mrs. Wang a good face for two or three days.No, as soon as I heard that Ma Daopo was out of customs, I immediately ordered someone to invite her.
"Hearing what you said, this evildoer is really powerful. I'm afraid it's possessed by an old ghost for many years. It's not easy to handle." Ma Daopo was thinking quickly how much money he could get this time.Seeing the anxious look of this old lady, she might be able to kill her severely.
Mother Jia understood what she meant, she looked down on her very much, and said in a very bold tone, "Just deal with that evildoer, and report to the second wife for any consumption. In addition, if you can accept that evildoer, I will prepare 1000 yuan for you." Two thanks. Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied! This is your order, old lady. I have to do it for you even if my mana is damaged. If that's the case, then I will go to find out about that evildoer first, and then I will reply to you " Ma Daopo was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, and followed the maid who led the way to the field inspection.
It was still far away from Jia Cong's yard, so the maid didn't dare to go any further, she turned around and ran after showing Ma Daopo the way, as if there was a ghost chasing after her.Seeing Ma Daopo's heart skipping a beat, could it be... there is really a ghost?
Ma Daopo knew very well how capable she was, so she couldn't help beating her heart.If you ask her to make a little ghost and curse someone, that's fine, but if you really want her to fight fierce ghosts, she really doesn't have that ability.She just learned some witchcraft and sorcery in her early years, so she can make small troubles, and she goes up to deliver food on big occasions.
At first when the Rongguo Mansion looked for her, she just thought it was a child who had run into something evil, and it was nothing serious.But looking at this servant girl's appearance now, could it be that it's really a ghost?
But she immediately shook her head, this is the capital city, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, protected by the aura of a real dragon, no ghosts would come here to cause trouble without opening their eyes.I'm afraid, this is spreading rumors, and the maid was so timid, that's why she was so frightened.Thinking of this, Ma Daopo relaxed again, laughing secretly that she was the same, how many storms and waves have passed, why can't she still be calm.
She Shi Shiran came to Jia Cong's small courtyard, looked in through the door, and found that it was an ordinary small courtyard without any spooky atmosphere, so she felt more at ease.
He raised his foot and was about to go in, but suddenly stopped, thought for a while and took out two pieces of yellow talisman paper from his bosom, and held them between his fingertips.Although she didn't feel the danger, she still took some protection just in case.
Of course, Ma Daopo was also prepared to retreat immediately if the situation was not right, but as soon as she stepped into the gate of this courtyard, she understood what it means to be involuntary.In front of her was a white mist, and she couldn't see anything; behind her was a monster chasing wildly, its bloody mouth could swallow her at any time, and she couldn't do anything except run wildly.As for the two talisman papers, they turned to ashes with black smoke.
"What did you say, Ma Daopo was also carried out?" Mother Jia was shocked when she got the news, her face was full of surprise.Unlike those monks and priests, she has seen Ma Daopo's mana, and she also asked her to do things back then, and the cooperation was very pleasant.Originally, he thought that he would be able to catch him this time, but he didn't expect to suffer a big loss when he saw her.Could it be...is there really no one who can stop that evildoer?
"Old lady, old lady..."
Jia's mother was depressed, but she saw that Mrs. Wang broke in without notification, her face became more and more gloomy, and she shouted: "What are you shouting about? Are there any rules? What's the big deal, it's worth your fuss, no It must be said to be petty." At this moment, she felt that Mrs. Wang knew about Ma Daopo and was so frightened.
Mrs. Wang was so embarrassed by her drink that she straightened her face immediately, bowed her head, and said: "The daughter-in-law is rude, please forgive me? However, this matter is of great importance, and the old lady should stay away, daughter-in-law. There is something important to report."
Seeing that she was really busy, Jia Mu gave Yuanyang a wink, and soon there were only their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left in the room.After hearing Mrs. Wang's whisper, Jia's mother also showed a surprised expression on her face.
"You mean, Yuan Chun was lucky enough to be recruited by the Holy One? This... what happened, was it arranged by the empress? Or was it Yuan girl's own idea? Why didn't there be any warning in advance?" Jia Mu's face was cloudy, He quickly calculated the gains and losses in his heart.
It is of course good to be able to climb up to today, but why didn't they think about today?It's all because, back then, the four kings and eight princes all supported the abolition of the crown prince, and they are not quite on the same page as they are now, and they have ties in each other's hearts.Instead of putting the treasure on the offended Jinshang, it is better to bet on the princes.
Rongguo Mansion took the opportunity to be silent for several years, not to attract the attention of today.When the next emperor comes to power, the Rongguo Mansion will soar into the sky.At that time, with Yuanchun as the favorite concubine and Baoyu as the important minister outside, the Rongguo Mansion will surely return to its former glory.
Jia's mother's calculation was very good, but now something went wrong.It was just a random step today, and it disrupted her entire layout, and I don't know if it was unintentional or intentional.If it's unintentional, it's fine just to look at Yuan Chun, but if it's intentional, then...
"It was just now that Eunuch Xia, the head of the six palaces, ordered someone to announce the good news. He said that girl Yuan was handpicked by the sage, and it was not the empress's or Yuan Chun's idea." Mrs. Wang was a little bit sad and happy, and her mood was very complicated.
The daughter was favored by the Holy Majesty, so she might be soaring into the sky right in front of her eyes, so it should be a good thing.But when she thought that Jinshang was older than her master, she couldn't help feeling wronged for her daughter.If Yuan Chun hadn't entered the palace... well, what's the use of thinking about it now.
"Did the eunuch Xia say anything about how the Holy Majesty granted Yuanchun the title?" The granddaughter was favored by the present, and this matter was a foregone conclusion, and Jiamu had no choice.At this time, there is only one step to look at.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang showed resentment, "That's what I want to say. Old lady, eunuch Xia wrote a letter saying that Yuan Chun has been favored for a few days, but the Holy Majesty has not been canonized for a long time. You say, yes Isn't someone playing tricks here?"
Jia Mu pondered and remained silent.She understood what Wang meant, and she meant that the empress might be in the way. In fact, she herself also had such doubts.After all, they originally wanted to marry someone, but they suddenly pried into someone's corner.If it was her, how could she not trip her up?
In the upper room, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law faced each other silently, but there was nothing they could do.If the Holy Majesty doesn't grant Yuanchun canonization, they can't make an imperial decree for him, right?Now, we can only hope that the Holy Majesty didn't throw Yuan Chun away on a whim, leaving her in the palace for nothing.
