After settling the bodyguards,
Jia Cong walked towards Jia She's East Road Courtyard.
She kept telling herself,
In a while, no matter what Jia She said or did,
He had to endure it!
Otherwise, he would be labeled as unfilial.
Not to mention the future of high officials and high salaries,
He would immediately turn into a pile of stinky dog poop!
When we reached the East Road Yard,
At the door, two servants were stamping their feet to ward off the cold.
Seeing Jia Cong arrive, he immediately shouted,
"Third Master Cong is here? This lowly one will go in and report!"
With that, she ran into the courtyard.
The other was so slow that his face was filled with disappointment.
A moment later,
Curses came from the courtyard.
There was also the sound of things being smashed.
"What is that bastard doing here? See if I die from anger!"
"Evil creature! What good stuff could a slut produce?”
"Years ago, that slut made me a laughing stock, and now this little bastard is making me a laughing stock!”
"Now that I'm lucky, are you here to pay your respects? This is giving me trouble!"
"Tell him to scram, the further the better!”
"No, call that little bastard in!”
After a while,
He looked at the servant who had just come out and lowered his head to invite him in.
Upon closer inspection, the servant's head was bleeding.
Jia Cong frowned and said,
"Go back and tidy up. I'll stall for some time inside.”
"You should also find a place to warm up. No one is coming over now. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility.”
The two servants were stunned.
Looking at Jia Cong, whose expression did not change, they bowed in unison and said,
"Ming Nan/Ming Bei thanks Third Master Cong!”
"Go quickly. I'll go in and stall for a while. Hurry up and treat the injury on my head.”
Jia Cong walked into the courtyard.
Although this East Road Courtyard was not Rongxi Hall,
However, the layout was not bad at all!
When he entered the room, he saw Jia She sitting on the couch with a dark face.
Madam Xing and Wang Shanbao were also there.
"Greetings, First Master and First Mistress."
"Humph! I'm afraid he's hoping that I'll die early!”
"What are you talking about, First Master? His son only felt close to the First Master.”
"Close? You're even close to the second branch!"
Jia She roared,
She grabbed the teacup and threw it at Jia Cong.
Jia Cong didn't dodge and let the teacup hit his shoulder.
In his heart, he was gritting his teeth.
"I'm enduring! Endure! He won't live for more than a few days!"
Jia She was about to continue smashing the teacup,
Madam Xing, who was at the side, quickly stopped him and said,
"Master, why are you so angry? In the end, he's just a bastard son.”
"It's easy to beat and scold, but why do you need to do it yourself?”
Yesterday, Jia Cong didn't talk much to her.
It made her think that Jia Cong and Jia Lian had no respect for her.
He was already angry and held a grudge, so now it was just the right time to add fuel to the fire.
Who knew that Jia She would give her a slap instead and say angrily,"
"Go to the side! How dare you meddle in my matters!"
"Now, the people you manage in the house are not as good as a daughter-in-law!”
"Usually, we only look at the prestige of the second branch. At least they have the Wang family behind them!”
Madam Xing had always been a housewife.
Her maternal family was also an ordinary family.
In this era,
The daughters-in-law of a rich family basically stopped serving her husband after thirty years old.
Or she would marry a concubine for her husband.
Or she would find some maids to tie her husband down and raise her status when she was pregnant.
Madam Xing and Madam Wang were the same.
There was a nice saying that was to devote oneself to Buddha...
In the early years, Madam Xing was also a favored concubine.
However, Jia She's first wife died later.
Only then did he help Madam Xing up.
But now that Jia She had more than ten concubines, how could he still take a fancy to Lady Xing?!
"Master, don't be angry. I spoke too much.”
Jia She ignored her and said to Jia Cong sinisterly,"
"What did you save up during your three years in Jiubian? Don't lie, these things can't be hidden.”
"Old Master, I do have some money, but I don't have any other properties.”
"Humph! I'm sure you won't dare to play tricks on the nine sides. How much money do you have?”
"Less than nine hundred taels. They are usually rewarded for meritorious service. Other than the gifts I have prepared over the past few years, this is all that's left.”
Jia She narrowed his eyes and calculated carefully in his heart.
Although no one from the Jia family had gone to Jiubian these years,
However, he was very clear about the matters of the Nine Edges.
He believed Jia Cong when he said he had no property.
After all, Jia Cong was only a lieutenant back then and did not have much qualifications.
Moreover, without the Jia family's seal, there was no need for the Jia family's connections.
On the other hand, the nine hundred taels of silver made Jia She happy.
"Get someone to send the silver over later!”
"Yes, don't worry, master. I'll get someone to send it over when I go back.”
"Okay, get lost. Don't come over in the future. I don't need you to pay my respects.”
"Since Old Master doesn't want to see me, then when the gift comes back, I'll get the servants to send it over.”
"Alright, what good stuff can you have? Let's go, let's go!”
Only then did Jia Cong cup his hands and retreat out the door.
He thought to himself:
"900 taels to buy some leisure time isn't expensive!”
"This is your compensation!”
Don't think that this bit of silver is little.
Although the Jia family's income seemed to be high,
But in fact, there was not much left every year, or even a deficit.
Jia She later gave Yingchun to Zhongshan Wolf for five thousand taels of silver.
At this time, ten taels of silver was equivalent to five thousand catties of rice or six hundred catties of meat!
It had been almost a year since the middle-class family had spent ten taels of silver!
He knew how much these nine hundred taels of silver were worth!
When she reached the door, she saw two servants return.
"It's alright. You're a little scheming. You know how to wear a hat to cover up.”
"Be careful usually. When it's too cold, change shifts to avoid the wind.”
Ming Nan and Ming Bei said in unison,
"Thank you for your love, Third Master Cong!"
"Alright, I can't bear to see you suffer.”
Jia Cong waved his hand and left.
He was calculating in his heart.
He went back to find someone to test it.
Perhaps these two people could save a lot of effort if they used them well!
