Chapter 294 This time it's a magic stick again (10)
one day!
A whole day!
Jia Cong almost died from his own stinky fart.
He was so ashamed and angry that he always felt that everyone was looking at him in a wrong way.
Even Jiao Youxin, who had just been assigned to serve beside him, always had an expression that was hard to explain.
Jiao Youxin seemed to be saying: "Brother Cong looks very fair and smart, why does he like to fart so much!"
Jia Cong:...You are the one who likes to fart! Your whole family likes to fart!
If I hadn't eaten that Peiyuan Pill from Lao Shizi, I would never have turned into a stinky bastard!
However, after feeling embarrassed, Jia Cong had to admit that although the side effects of Peiyuan Dan made people speechless, it was really effective in regulating the body.
In ancient times when there were no antibiotics, with just one pill, the high fever subsided in just a few days, and the scabs on the body quickly formed and fell off.
Jia Cong, who could only lie on the bed unable to move at first, was already able to run around within ten days of arriving at Xuanzhen Temple.
Jia Zhen, who came to personally report to "Jia Jing" on the process of purchasing mountain land, was a little surprised.
Jia Zhen witnessed Jia Cong's tragic situation that day with her own eyes.
To be honest, whether it was Jia Zhen or Jia She, they would easily agree to adopt Jia Cong to Jia Jing.
In addition to He Tiantian's power and oppression, there is also a reason why he feels that Jia Cong's life is not long.
He is just a sick child who is dying. He may not be able to be saved in the capital city where there is no shortage of medicine, let alone the remote suburbs.
Anyway, if he can't survive, it won't pose any threat to himself. He can just adopt him. In this way, he can satisfy the living ancestor "Jia Jing", so why not?
As a result, after just a few days of absence, Jia Cong, who was thought to be dead long ago, is actually running all over the mountain alive and kicking. Jia Zhen can't explain how her father has indulged such a cheap adopted son.
.
"... Brother Cong is young and still needs to study. I originally wanted to enlighten him personally, but I am also busy refining alchemy on weekdays and really can't spare the time."
"In this way, you go to school and find a teacher to teach Brother Cong his homework every day!"
Later, when Jia Zhen heard that her father was planning for Jia Cong like this, he felt even more uncomfortable.
However, as a son, Jia Zhen did not dare to disobey what I said, so she could only bite the bullet and agree obediently: "Yes, my son will go find the master of the school when he gets back!"
Jia Zhen felt very unhappy because she saw her biological father paying too much attention to a cheap adopted son.
With inexplicable envy, jealousy and hatred, when I went to study, I happened to see a group of students misbehaving.
As for Jia Dairu, because his only grandson Jia Rui died, he seemed to have lost his energy and became even more unwilling to discipline.
If it were in the past, Jia Zhen would not have cared about the messy and noisy clan school.
However, just after being stimulated in the suburbs of the city, her father specifically asked about family studies. Jia Zhen suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she suffered discipline from her father because of her studies...
Under various factors, Jia Zhen exploded, lost her temper, and kicked out all the rebellious students, such as Xue Pan, and cheap relatives such as Ai'a and Lian'a.
Jia Zhen made a special trip to see Jia Zheng, discussed it, and invited Jia Dairu to go home to "recuperate."
Then, he found a relatively calm-looking person among Jia Zheng's disciples to temporarily manage the clan school.
Later, the clan science was rectified and the rules were re-formulated.
Although Jia Zhen and the new gentlemen are not very reliable, they are much better than before.
Ethnology has also become somewhat like a school.
Finally, Jia Zhen went through a selection process and chose a husband specifically for Jia Cong.
Three days later, Jia Zhen hurried to Xuanzhen Temple, and the gentleman was with him.
He Tiantian specially took the exam for the teacher. Although he didn't have much knowledge, it was enough to enlighten the children.
Forget it, Jia Zhen is only at this level, so we can’t expect him to do anything reliable!
Anyway, the "new teacher" is already on the way, so it only lasts for a month or two, so let him give you some temporary guidance first.
Furthermore, He Tiantian deliberately mentioned ethnic studies in front of Jia Zhen, not only to find a husband for Jia Cong, but also to remind Jia Zhen to pay attention to rectify ethnic studies.
Well... although the ending is not very satisfying, with Jia Zhen's attack, ethnology, from teachers to students, has become much more restrained.
As long as the school is not openly used as a place for nonsense and those messy students no longer cause scandals, He Tiantian can turn a blind eye.
Moreover, after going through the clan study, He Tiantian had a personal experience - the Jia family is really rotten from the bottom up!
No matter, in this way, He Tiantian doesn't have too much psychological burden.
Since the foundation is rotten, it is reasonable for the Jia family building to collapse.
What He Tiantian can do is probably leave the spark of fire when the Jia family is in decline, and then help the spark to slowly revive the Jia family!
He Tiantian had foreseen the overthrow of the Jia family, but the people in Ning Rong's second house had no such understanding.
With He Tiantian's pressure, although Jia Zhen did not contribute money to Xifu to build a villa for relatives, she still acquired a piece of land.
After all, they are a family, and Jia Zhen still has the intention of trying to make a living.
I can't give out the money because I have to build a place for Qingxiu for my dear father.
Because of the excuse of "Jia Jing", even Jia's mother couldn't say anything.
But land and other things can still be "shared".
Mrs. Wang borrowed money from the Xue family, and Wang Xifeng released a large amount of usury money. Even Jia's mother reluctantly took some out of her private room.
In the Lin family in Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai is still ill, but has already submitted his resignation letter to the saint.
Although the sage could not bear to part with a minister like Lin Ruhai, he could not exploit a sick person, so he allowed him to resign and even allowed him to return to Beijing to recuperate.
On Lin Ruhai's side, they just wait until the house is tidied up and his physical condition stabilizes, then he will bring his daughter to Beijing.
Knowing that Lin Ruhai was going to Beijing, Jia Mu wrote a letter to Lin Ruhai. The letter was full of concern for her son-in-law and thoughts about her granddaughter.
Between the lines, the good news of Jia Yuanchun's concubine was mentioned, seemingly unintentionally, and it was stated that the Jia family was putting all their efforts into building a villa for relatives.
Jia's mother didn't explicitly say "borrow money", but Lin Ruhai knew the elegant meaning of Xiange after hearing it, and when she replied to the letter, she ordered someone to take a banknote of one hundred thousand taels!
One hundred thousand taels of silver is definitely not a small amount of money.
But compared with the Lin family's furniture worth two to three million taels, it's really nothing.
Jia Mu didn't say anything, she just said that the Lin family was kind.
Mrs. Wang, who knew the inside story, complained secretly in her heart, feeling that the Lin family was really stingy and had the same virtues as that mean girl Lin.
However, no matter what, the Jia family finally collected 600,000 taels of silver through one operation.
Although there is a big difference from the expected one million taels, there are ways to do it even if you don’t have money.
The yard should be made smaller and the furnishings should be simplified.
In addition, Wang Xifeng knew that the people below would be greedy, but this time it was no different than before.
The money spent to build the provincial villa is almost the last wealth of the Jia family and must not be wasted.
Therefore, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian supervised extremely strictly.
The tribesmen or servants who received the errand secretly hated Wang Xifeng for being a domineering mother-in-law.
Now, after working hard for a long time, but not getting much profit, I feel more and more that Mistress Lian is too mean.
Even Jia Lian also gained notoriety.
The Rongguo Mansion looks prosperous and lively, but secretly, there are already many contradictions and undercurrents. Just an opportunity may lead to bad consequences.
Of course, these are all things for later.
For now, although the Jia family has experienced some twists and turns, they have still built a streamlined version of the Grand View Garden.
At the same time, the construction of the Qingxiu land requested by He Tiantian was also in full swing.
Compared with the fussy style of the provincial villa in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zhen's side is much more generous.
What golden nanmu, what Taihu stone, what exquisite furnishings, what famous flowers and plants...
As long as it was good or expensive, Jia Zhen would get it all for her biological father.
The so-called "other courtyard" was built to be even more luxurious than the palace.
He Tiantian didn't stop her when she saw it. Well, anyway, even if she didn't spend the money from Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen would be ruined.
This time, He Tiantian deliberately asked Jia Zhen to build such a beautiful villa, which emptied the Ningguo Mansion's family fortune. Without money, maybe Jia Zhen could cause less trouble.
Some things can be regarded as transferring assets in disguise.
Those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver, jade, etc. are not only ornaments to decorate the house, but also valuable treasures.
At critical moments, you can exchange it directly for money!
Of course, these are all things for later.
"...That's right. Remember to give Brother Cong a small yard. Whatever he wants, you can prepare it for him!"
After He Tiantian saw the appearance of the house drawn by Master Jia Zhenxun, he was very satisfied. He only made one request and continued to make elixirs.
Jia Cong, Jia Cong, Jia Cong again!
Could it be that my grandpa is so old and confused that he actually regards an adopted little beast as his biological son?
Jia Zhen's envy, jealousy and hatred for Jia Cong became more and more intense, and as "Jia Jing's" partiality escalated, the negative emotions almost turned into reality!
However, no matter how resentful she felt, Jia Zhen did not dare to disobey her father's wishes.
In the next two or three years, while complaining secretly, he obediently helped Jia Cong make some weird things.
During the Lantern Festival, Jia Yuanchun went to get married, and the Jia family ushered in its final highlight moment.
Rong Ning's second mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and everyone in the mansion was waiting. From early morning to dusk, Jia Mu and other female relatives were so tired that they finally waited for the virtuous concubine's phoenix ride.
The Jia family was so lively, but He Tiantian didn't get involved.
Originally, "Jia Jing" would come back every New Year to worship his ancestors and would not leave until the Lantern Festival.
However, this year, knowing that Jia Yuanchun would get married on the Lantern Festival, He Tiantian thought that "cultivation has reached a critical moment." However, after the New Year, before the fifth day of the first lunar month, He Tiantian took Jia Cong back to the outside of the city in a hurry.
The "village" built.
"This Brother Jing is getting weirder and weirder!"
Mother Jia is so angry.
The birth of a lady like Yuanchun in our Jia family is such a great joy, it is enough to bring glory to the family.
As a result, "Jia Jing" didn't care at all.
Not only did he use the money that the Ning Mansion wanted to build a provincial villa for the empress to build some other courtyard, but he also deliberately missed the official day!
What on earth does he want to do?
Do you really think that you are going to become a god?
He doesn't want all the family affection and honor in this world?!
Humph, Lin Ruhai is just a son-in-law with a foreign surname, but he is better than Jia Jing.
Not only did he provide money to build the courtyard, but on the Lantern Festival, he also sent Daiyu to greet Fengjia with his sisters.
The more Jia Mu thought about it, the more she felt that Jia Jing was outrageous. If she hadn't worried that Dongfu was the direct branch and Jia Zhen was still the patriarch, Jia Mu would have taken out the elders' money and lectured "Jia Jing".
However, Jia Mu was still angry, but she also had a clear sense of priorities.
At present, for the Jia family, the most important thing is that the mother-in-law is going to marry her. As for other matters, she will settle the accounts slowly after the wedding is over!
However, Jia's mother underestimated the "eccentricity" of the father-son pair "Jia Jing" and Jia Cong.
Ningrong Street is brightly lit and noisy, while the Qingxiu Villa on the outskirts of the city is also very busy with people coming and going.
"Master Cong, everything is ready!"
Jia Cong's young boy, Jiao Youxin, is said to be a playmate, but in fact he is seven or eight years older than Jia Cong, and is already a young boy of twelve or thirteen years old.
He followed Jia Cong's instructions and placed a porcelain jar on a hill outside the courtyard.
"Okay, step back! Everyone should retreat three feet away."
Jia Cong estimated the power of the explosives and then gave instructions loudly.
A few boys withdrew more than ten meters away with a crash.
Jia Cong held a torch and wanted to light the seal himself.
When Jiao Youxin saw this, he was so frightened that his legs almost went weak.
Although he didn't know what was in that porcelain jar, seeing how cautious Mr. Cong looked, it must be very dangerous.
In Jia Zhen's eyes, Mr. Cong may just be a cheap adopted younger brother.
But for Jiao Youxin, he is his master, his backer, and his golden thigh.
Don’t let Mr. Cong put himself in danger!
"Master Cong, let the younger one do it!"
Grandpa loves Mr. Cong so much. If Mr. Cong had an accident in front of him, he would definitely not be able to spare him!
Jiao Youxin would really rather take risks on his own than let anything happen to Mr. Cong.
So, he grabbed the torch from Jia Cong's hand, pushed Jia Cong behind him, and approached the porcelain jar with a determined look on his face.
Oh no, to be precise, it is a lead extending from the mouth of the porcelain jar.
The fuse is two feet long. Once it is lit, run away immediately. There should be no danger.
Jiao Youxin beat the drum with confidence, came closer, bent down and lit it.
Bah!
The lead wire makes a subtle burning sound.
"If you have faith, run quickly!"
Jia Cong was worried that something had happened to Jiao Youxin. When he saw sparks jumping from the lead in the dark, he hurriedly shouted.
Jiao Youxin quickly held up the torch and ran back.
Bah, bah!
The lead continues to burn.
When Jiao Youxin ran to Jia Cong's side and reached a safe area, the fuse was burned out and the fire was successfully introduced into the porcelain jar.
Boom~
There was a loud noise and the whole hill shook violently.
Such a loud noise was so shocking that Jiao Youxin and others were so frightened that they fell to the ground. Even the capital city more than a hundred miles away heard the noise...
