Some people say, "The end of science is theology!"
He Tiantian is not yet able to study such a profound theoretical issue in depth.
However, what she wants to do now is to use the cloak of "theology" to give "science" a more appropriate reason.
What?
You said my brother Cong flew a kite and released sparks and caught thunder and lightning?!
You don’t understand this, right? It’s not electricity, but a Xuan Lei Talisman that I drew.
What?
You said that my brother Cong has made a big thing that does not require manpower and only relies on steam?
Just tell me again, I have borrowed my divine power, and now I am just floating on the water, but in the future, my brother Cong will be able to go to heaven!
...Anyway, no matter what shocking technology Jia Cong invents in the future, He Tiantian can still be classified as "strange power and chaos".
Anyway, in this era, it is easy for everyone to think about ghosts and gods when it comes to unknown things.
He Tiantian just gave these statements a more authoritative stamp of approval - I am a cultivator and will ascend to heaven in the future.
And in order to make Jia Jing's "magic stick", ah, no, it's the old god's character, as stable as Mount Tai, He Tiantian refined a large number of pills with strange side effects, but they are really effective.
Even the Supreme Emperor in the palace heard of "Jia Jing"'s name.
Kings of all ages, whether tyrants or wise kings, have longed for immortality.
The Supreme Emperor is no exception.
Especially as he grows older and lets go of his power, the Emperor has fewer and fewer things to hold on to.
He clearly felt his aging and had a deep fear of his own death.
However, there are too few people who have truly cultivated the path to immortality. They are rare and rare.
Although that "Jia Jing" doesn't look like a virtuous person, his elixirs did save several people.
The Emperor doesn't want to die, he wants to live forever.
And Jia Jing can refine the elixir to regulate the body, so can "he" refine the elixir of immortality?!
He Tiantian:...No!
Of course, this cannot be said directly to the royal family.
However, He Tiantian can be "passive and slow down".
I think she is a master of alchemy, but she just made a basic Peiyuan Dan and got all kinds of weird side effects.
Why?
Isn't it just to prevent the royal family from getting interested if you perform too well?
It is said that in order to deliberately cause some messy physical reactions without compromising the original effectiveness of the elixir, she spent a lot of effort.
It's actually not difficult to get things done.
What’s difficult is that when you know how to do everything, you still deliberately make two knives!
"Father, this Jia Jing's elixir is really weird. Even he himself cannot guarantee its efficacy!"
The sage knew what the Emperor was thinking, so he deliberately ran up to him and mentioned Jia Jing's embarrassing story in a casual conversation, "No, he made himself a furnace of marrow-cleansing pills, and as a result, his hair and eyebrows were all stained."
It’s all gone!”
"With a head that looks like a bald gourd, how can he still have the appearance of a master with half the spirit of an immortal? Even those eminent monks may not agree if he is said to be a monk!"
After all, a monk or something like that only has a bald scalp, eyebrows, and beard.
As for "Jia Jing", his head is bare and there is no hair on it!
If you just have diarrhea or a smelly fart, you can tolerate it for a day or two and it will be over.
But my hair, eyebrows... if I haven't had them for three to five months, I won't be able to see people at all.
Moreover, the ancients paid attention to how the body, hair and skin are affected by their parents. Not to mention shaving their heads, they also paid attention to cutting their hair.
The Supreme Emperor simply couldn't imagine himself turning into a ball of light!
Also, the elixir refined by "Jia Jing" reacts strangely.
"Jia Jing" will lose his hair and eyebrows if he eats it, but if others eat it, there may not be any ridiculous consequences.
...Also, let’s forget it. It’s not an elixir of longevity. It’s just a pill that regulates the body. Even his imperial doctor can do it.
The Supreme Emperor no longer wanted "Jia Jing" to make elixirs. When he ran out of energy and thought of a "dead horse doctor", he was speechless.
As a "filial son", the saint naturally could not make fun of the body and life of the Supreme Emperor, and did not order "Jia Jing" to offer any elixir at all.
In this way, the Supreme Emperor passed away, and the mountain pressing on the saint's head finally disappeared completely.
After leaving the country for mourning, the saint began to rectify the affairs of the court and settle accounts after the fall.
The Zhen family was ransacked, and the Ministry of Revenue began to recover the money owed.
"Master, what should I do? Our Ning Mansion still owes the Ministry of Revenue a deficit of more than 600,000 taels of silver!"
Jia Zhen was anxious and hurried to the other courtyard to find He Tiantian for advice.
"Then pay it back!" He Tiantian said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Jia Zhen: ...Young lady, of course I know the principle of repaying debts.
But the problem is that Ningguo Mansion simply cannot afford so much cash.
In the past two years, money has been spent like water in order to build the Qingxiu Villa and support the people in the Villa.
Jia Zhen herself was reluctant to live and drink, and even Brother Rong had to go through troubles to find a wife.
They were already frugal enough at home, but as a result, they still couldn't save any money.
There is no other way. My dear father wants to make elixirs. He often uses thousand-year-old ginseng and ten-thousand-year-old polygonum multiflorum, furnace after furnace. How can he get the elixir?
It’s obviously a waste of money!
And that kid Jia Cong is also a waste of money.
I coaxed the master to build a "laboratory" of some kind, buying people and materials, which cost several hundred taels of silver every month.
It would be great if Jia Cong's "laboratory" could really tinker with something to make money, but in the end, either flying a kite would cause thunder and fire to chop down the trees, or tinkering with some gasoline would burn the mountain.
Every day, there is no time when money is not wasted.
It has developed to this point, and Jia Zhen's heart trembles as soon as he hears the servant's reply, "Master, it's not good."
However, Jia Cong fell into the eyes of the living ancestors and became the most favored younger son of the grand master. Jia Zhen, the "eldest son" of Chengjue, was not welcomed.
With the giant Buddha "Jia Jing" sitting in charge, no matter how much Jia Zhen was unwilling or complaining, he did not dare to show it.
We can only watch as father and son, Jia Jing and Jia Cong, ruin the money of Ningguo Mansion every day.
To this day, even the 600,000 yuan in silver owed has not been repaid, and Jia Zhen is on the verge of breaking out.
However, facing her own father, the fear that had long been engraved in her bones made Jia Zhen calm down.
Rubbing her face, Jia Zhen said humbly, "Master, our family doesn't have that much cash."
"Then sell the bulky stuff in the warehouse that you don't need. Oh, by the way, that one from Black Water Villa or Black Mountain Villa. The harvest fails every year. Keeping it is just too troublesome. So just sell it together. It's still worth some money.
!”
He Tiantian was very much like a prodigal son who "sells his father's land". He said it very easily and casually that the seller was selling the farm.
The real son Jia Zhen almost broke her nose in anger.
Sell the things in the warehouse? Also sell Zhuangzi?
Isn't this selling off the ancestral property? It's a perfect sign of prodigality!
Jia Zhen, who has been absurd and extravagant for half her life, actually feels that her own father is the biggest loser.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and sell the things, collect the money, and pay back the money from the household department."
"If you don't act quickly, other people will buy things instead. There are so many wealthy people selling the goods, so it won't ruin the market."
"When the time comes, you won't be able to sell the same thing at a high price!"
He Tiantian also has good intentions.
Now the Ministry of Revenue has just started to collect the outstanding money, and many people are still waiting and watching.
Jia Zhen sells her belongings at this time, and maybe she can get a good price.
When everyone realizes that the saint is serious and has to pay back the money they owe, they will rush to sell their property.
At that time, all good things will be sold cheaply.
Jia Zhen: ...of course I understand the truth, but I also want to wait and see.
In the past, Jia Zhen's attitude toward Jia Jing was due to the son's fear and respect for his father.
And now...that kid Jia Cong, although he hasn't made anything that makes money, he has a relationship with the imperial court.
The saint's confidant, the commander of the Jinlin Guards, actually had a close relationship with Jia Cong.
As for Jia Jing, although the elixirs he refined had various strange reactions, they could still cure diseases and save lives.
Relying on the elixir, Jia Jing also fell into the eyes of today's saints. Even some nobles and powerful officials with real power also developed friendship with Jia Jing.
Therefore, although Jia Jing lived on the outskirts of the city, he was still very aware of the movements of the imperial court and the thoughts of some important figures.
Hearing He Tiantian insistently urge him to pay back the money, Jia Zhen knew that the collection of the debt this time would definitely be a storm, and no one could escape it!
Jia Zhen felt very frustrated, but she did not dare to disobey me.
He hurried back to sell his belongings, scraped together 600,000 taels of silver, and paid off the debt owed to the Ministry of Accounts.
Ning Guofu's family fortune has been reduced by nearly half, which is absolutely debilitating!
On the other side of the Rongguo Mansion, he thought that he still had his wife, so he would never reach that point.
When she heard that Jia Zhen had returned the money, Jia's mother called Jia Zhen over and scolded her severely.
Looking at Jia's mother, Jia She and Jia Zheng's pride and confidence when they mentioned Jia Yuanchun, suddenly, Jia Zhen felt ridiculous.
It took a year or two for Jia Yuanchun to become a concubine, but the Jia family (Rongguo Mansion to be precise) spent money like water, but did not get any help from the virtuous concubine.
Jia Zheng was still a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, and Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu didn't even have a family, so they were still hanging around in the government.
What kind of father-in-law? Uncle-in-law?
It just has a nice name, but in the end, there is no real benefit at all!
Now, there is such a big fuss over the collection of arrears of silver by the Ministry of Revenue. "Jia Jing" who is refining alchemy in the mountains is urging Jia Zhen to pay back the money. As a result, the Rongguo Mansion is actually complacent about "having a queen in the palace."
, complacent.
"A brain is a good thing, but it's a pity that some people don't have it!"
In Jia Zhen's mind, a sentence that Jia Cong once said suddenly came to mind.
Well, although Jia Zhen felt ashamed and annoyed at that time, now, he really wants to send these words to these people in Xifu.
Forget it, never mind!
Anyway, we have the Grand Master and Brother Cong, who have friendship with the royal family and the powerful. As long as Ningguo Mansion stops being stupid, nothing will happen to them.
As for the Rongguo Mansion, well, there is a queen in the palace.
Within a few days, news came out from the palace that Concubine Xian De had miscarried and was seriously ill.
This time, without Jia's mother's request, Jia Jing used his connections in the palace to send a message to Jia Yuanchun: "My elixir can save your life, but there is no guarantee that it will have any other side effects!"
Such as farts, diarrhea, abscesses, dark scars, hair loss, etc.
He Tiantian put the ugly words first, and Jia Yuanchun decided how to choose.
Jia Yuanchun was indeed a decisive person. Although she knew that her cousin's elixir was unreliable, she did not want to die.
Even a saint is actually quite curious.
The sage knew why the virtuous concubine was in such poor health.
He wanted to know whether Jia Jing's elixir could repair Concubine Xian De's dilapidated body after being poisoned and having a miscarriage.
What kind of weird reactions will occur while treating the disease?
With the saint's secret permission and promotion, He Tiantian's elixir was delivered to Jia Yuanchun.
Jia Yuanchun took the elixir decisively. Her hair did not fall out, but it turned all white overnight.
And although his body is not in danger of life, he is very weak and can only rest quietly.
Seeing Jia Yuanchun with white hair and beautiful face, lingering on the sick bed, the saint actually felt a little pity.
Forget it, Qin Keqing's account is settled.
Let Jia Yuanchun stay in the palace from now on. He will have no favors, no children, and only the false title of concubine, and it will not cause any trouble.
Concubine Xian De was thrown into the cold palace in disguise. As for the Rongguo Mansion, before they could rejoice over Concubine Xian De's recovery, the house was raided.
The Jia family was completely liquidated, and although the Ningguo Mansion also lost their titles, Jia Zhen and others retained their titles.
The situation in the Rongguo Mansion was more serious, with Jia She forcing people to die, Wang Xifeng's loan sharking, and lawsuit-champering being exposed...
After a series of crimes, Jia She, Jia Zheng and other men were exiled, while Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and other female relatives were fined and confiscated and became officials.
The Wang family, Shi family and other in-laws were also in trouble and had no time to take care of themselves, with no one to help them.
In the end, He Tiantian came forward, bought a kind of female dependents, and found a place to settle them.
The Jia family was completely ruined, but its foundation remained.
Jia Cong, the male protagonist, uses his status as a time traveler as a science man and is escorted by the magic stick "Jia Jing" to lead several juniors of the Jia family to start the road of reviving the Jia family.
And those girls, although they no longer have family status in the Duke's Palace, they all have a suitable destination for themselves because of the "fairy" old patriarch and outstanding cousins.
"Tiantian, no good! There is an emergency in the system!"
When He Tiantian was preparing to "ascend", she didn't hear the "mission completed" prompt.
Originally, He Tiantian thought that there was something wrong with her and that she still needed to stay in the fandom world to complete tasks.
As a result, at this moment, the urgent tone of Little D’s classmate sounded from the depths of the sea of consciousness.
"Emergency? What emergency?"
He Tiantian suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that this mission failed.
But mission failure is not like this.
Listening to Little D’s urgent voice, it felt as if the end of the world was coming.
Suddenly, He Tiantian intuitively felt that the space in front of her began to distort and deform, and then she fell into darkness...
