After practicing the Courage Crown Spear for two hours, Curly Hair actually didn't feel tired at all. Usually, her arms would be sore and numb at this time, and she would need to rest for a long time to recover.
But now…
Not tired at all!
It was too magical!
"Husband, this thing is too godly!" Curly Hair said curiously. Could it be that Curly Hair would become an expert like the female guard soon? Hehehe ~~"
As he said,
Curly curled up the wooden stick in her hand, looking extremely cute.
Jia Xuan couldn't help but laugh." Alright, Curly Hair. Yesterday, His Majesty bestowed us with some silver. Today, we'll use it and continue to fight for silk with the Wu Family Cloth Shop. As for the jewelry, it's a gift from the emperor after all. They're all very rare. I'll leave it to you to wear.”
"Thank you, husband! Husband is so awesome!"
Curly Hair's eyes were filled with admiration.
"By the way, I've placed some traps under the bed. You have to be careful not to go under the bed to look for things. I've put the jewelry and whatnot in the cabinet in the side room.”
Jia Xuan reminded.
It would be bad if the mouse trap accidentally hurt Curly Hair.
"Hehe, my husband is so bad.”
"You're all smiles, remember that?"
"I'll remember it,"
Curly Hair nodded obediently, but she was wondering if some unlucky person would come in and get pinched.
She did not think that Jia Xuan was sinister or anything.
Curly Hair had been bullied since she was young. She knew very well that she could not be too polite to others. Instead, she felt that Jia Xuan was very black-bellied. Just like her, they were even more compatible.
After resting for a while, Jia Xuan called a few servants to carry a large box covered with red cloth and filled with silver. They placed it on the carriage. In a while, they would go to the bank to exchange for silver bills before going to the Su Family Cloth Shop to discuss the purchase of silk.
On the way, he met Jia She who had nothing to do. Jia Xuan ignored him and angered Jia She again.
"This unfilial son!"
Jia She stomped his feet, but he was quick-witted. He glanced at the box of silver carried by the people, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Soon, Jia Xuan left in a carriage.
Jia She looked at Jia Xuan's back as he left. He waved his hand and called a few servants over, asking,"Where did Jia Xuan go just now? Pawnshop? Cloth shop or money house?"
The servant remembered that Jia Xuan had asked them the last time and directly gave them two taels of silver. He immediately replied,"First Master, Brother Xuan went to the Great Zhou Bank just now.”
"Yes."
Jia She nodded and pondered in his heart,
Great Zhou Bank.
A box.
The Great Zhou Bank was a part of the Great Zhou Imperial Family's palace treasury. Its function was somewhat similar to a bank. One could borrow money, deposit money, or exchange silver for more convenient silver notes.
Most importantly,
This bank didn't accept gold and silver jewelry. It only accepted silver.
that is
The few boxes of gold and silver jewelry given by the emperor yesterday were still in Jia Xuan's Martial Virtue Garden!
The Marquis of Chengyang had been urging Jia She for the past few days, saying that the price of silk had increased by a dozen or so times. The amount of silver that Jia She had taken out was too little, so he had to add more, or else he would not be able to give Jia She any dividends.
Jia She was also anxious, but he had borrowed quite a bit of the silver he had invested from the Great Zhou Bank, and some from Wang Xifeng and Madam Wang. He really had no choice but to go to the underground bank to borrow the blood silver.
Now that Jia Xuan was not around, the gold and silver jewelry given by the emperor were all in the house. Wasn't this a godsend opportunity?!
Those were gold and silver jewelry from the Imperial Palace. Any one of them was worth a thousand taels of silver. Jia Xuan probably had not had the time to count them. He would probably not be discovered if he took a few casually.
Thinking of this,
A smile appeared on Jia She's face.
After regaining his senses, he pretended to walk towards the Rongxi Hall and observe if there were any guards around the Martial Virtue Garden. If there were those terrifying armored guards, he would not dare to do so.
"Hurry up and take a look."
With a smile, Jia She turned around and left. However, he found that the few servants who were questioned were still standing behind him, looking at him expectantly. It was unknown what they were expecting.
"Do you have nothing to do? Get lost, all of you get lost! If you block the way again, I'll skin you alive!"
Jia She cursed impatiently and strode toward Rongxi Hall.
The few servants looked innocent.
After Jia She left,
One of the servants said,"That's enough. First Master is not like Brother Xuan. I reckon that only Brother Xuan is so magnanimous. He treats us servants better. Tsk tsk."”
"Shhh, the First Master is just a little stingy. It's nothing.”
"Brother Xuan is still the best."
“....”
...........
At this moment, Jia She did not hear the discussion of the servants. Otherwise, he would have stomped his feet in anger again. He walked back and forth outside the Rongxi Hall, squinting his eyes to observe what was happening next to the Martial Virtue Garden.
Suddenly,
A voice rang out, giving Jia She quite a fright.
It turned out that Jia Zheng was scolding Jia Baoyu angrily again.
"Yo, yo, deer cry, eating wild apples! What lotus leaf and duckweed! What books have you read?!"
"You're actually learning to be naughty!"
"You can't even recite the Book of Songs well, yet you dare to read these books! How can you make contributions and compare to your Second Brother, Jia Xuan?”
Jia Zheng roared.
Just now, on a whim, he checked Jia Baoyu's learning progress. In the end, Jia Baoyu did not read the Four Books and Five Classics at all, nor could he memorize anything. He said that eating wild apples became lotus leaves and duckweed. Then, in his nervousness, he said the contents of the forbidden book, The Romance of the Western Chamber. Jia Zheng was so angry that he almost fainted.
The more Jia Zheng spoke, the angrier he got. He held the wooden board and was about to give Jia Baoyu a good beating.
"Hey, hey, hey, second brother, Baoyu is just a little mischievous. Just punish him to copy books. Why do you have to do it?”
Jia She quickly went over and spoke up for Jia Baoyu.
If they really started fighting, Jia Baoyu would definitely cry and make a fuss again. He would attract Grandmother Jia, Madam Wang, and a group of orioles. At that time, how would he take Jia Xuan's jewelry?
"Humph! Unfilial son, go back and copy the books!”
When Jia Zheng saw that Jia She was speaking to Jia Baoyu, plus that he had never really wanted to hit his son, he simply waved his hand and punished Jia Baoyu to go back and copy books.
Hearing this,
Jia Baoyu ran out as if he had been pardoned.
"Ai, you say this unfilial son?"
"The child is still young."
"Sigh, I envy you, Brother. Jia Xuan is so hardworking. I wish that Jia Xuan was my child…"
Jia Zheng was a noble person with a low EQ, so he was only sighing here.
The corner of Jia She's mouth twitched. However, for the sake of his grand plan, he held back and did not fly into a rage on the spot.
In the end, Jia Zheng had to go and handle some official business. Jia She personally sent Jia Zheng away from Rong State Manor. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and hurried to Martial Virtue Garden.
............
At Wude Garden,
Jia Baoyu took advantage of Jia Xuan's absence and sneaked into the Martial Virtue Garden, planning to steal some of Jia Xuan's gold and silver jewelry.
But of course,
Jia Baoyu was different from Jia She. He was not greedy for money and was not interested in these yellow and white things. He only wanted to take revenge on Jia Xuan.
He had no choice.
Who asked him to be inferior to Jia Xuan in every way? He could only think of this method to take revenge on Jia Xuan.
Moreover, if it was any other time, Jia Baoyu would not have done such a thieving act. However, the effects of the Bad Luck Talisman had not worn off yet, and he had been scolded by Jia She. He hated Jia Xuan to the core, so he was so angry that he directly sneaked into the Martial Virtue Garden.
"Who told you to steal my good sister, my good sister, and my father!”
Jia Baoyu cursed as he looked around. When he realized that there was no one in the Martial Virtue Garden, he immediately smiled.
I'll let you be aloof!
Not a single servant was allowed to stay in the Martial Virtue Garden. Did he really think that he was someone like his grandfather, the Duke of Rong?
He had seized the opportunity!
but
Pa--
A figure suddenly patted Jia Baoyu's shoulder, almost scaring him half to death. Turning around, he saw that it was his uncle, Jia She.
"What are you doing!"
Jia She's face darkened.
Jia Baoyu was a little flustered and muttered,"Nephew, Nephew, Nephew remembered that there was still a book in the Martial Virtue Garden, so I wanted to take it out.”
"What are you looking at? If you're caught by that bastard, you'll be skinned again. Hurry up and go back. I'll pretend I've never seen you.”
Jia She said.
"Okay, okay. Ah, thank you, First Master.”
Jia Baoyu could only nod repeatedly and leave the Martial Virtue Garden dejectedly.
He thought that he could take revenge on Jia Xuan today!
In the end, he was caught red-handed by Jia She!
Sigh!
Jia Baoyu had no choice but to leave and return to the Grand View Garden. He went to find Qingwen and Xiren to make rouge powder. As he left, he turned around and said,"Old Master, please don't report me."
"Don't worry, didn't I just spare you from physical pain? I'm on your side, Baoyu.”
"Thank you, Second Master! Baoyu naturally remembers!"
"Go quickly. Don't let your father find out.”
Jia She deceived and coaxed Jia Baoyu, and finally, he managed to fool Jia Baoyu away. He even fooled Jia Baoyu until he was very grateful to him.
Watching Jia Baoyu's back as he left, Jia She's lips curled into a smile. He looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, he slipped into the Martial Virtue Garden.
