I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Jia She held Jia Cheng in his arms, a smug smile on his face, and strode back to the East Courtyard with his head held high, like a general who had won a battle.

His steps were firm and powerful, and every step was filled with the joy of victory. Jia Cheng in his arms was also infected by his emotions and couldn't help but smile lovely.

Mrs. Xing followed behind Jia She, her face full of smiles, a smile that came from the heart, full of pride and satisfaction.

Her eyes were shining, as if announcing her victory to the entire Jia family.

Mrs. Wang's unlucky look made her feel extremely excited. Jia She really did a good job today, and as Jia She's wife, she naturally felt extremely proud and satisfied.

Jia She's domineering behavior today made Mrs. Xing save face in front of the people in the mansion.

She looked back at the servants behind her. There was respect and fear on their faces, which made Mrs. Xing even more proud.

She knew that her status in the Jia family had been improved. If she could get the power of housekeeper, she could save more money for Brother Cheng.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing's heart was filled with anticipation and joy. She was determined to gain more benefits for her son and allow him to get better development in the Jia family.

No matter whether it is precious jade or not, none of them is as noble as her son.

Mrs. Xing tried to please Jia She with sweet words, but Jia She just gave her a fake smile and didn't take it to heart at all, nor did he have any intention of talking to Mrs. Xing.

Although he treated Mrs. Xing better because of Jia Cheng and was willing to give her some respect, that was all.

Except for his first wife Zhang, he had no true feelings for any woman and did not want to communicate too much.

Jia She's entire attention is now focused on Jia Cheng, and even Jia Lian has been forgotten. How could he spare more energy to deal with Madam Xing?

He even felt that Mrs. Xing was talkative and noisy, which was a bit annoying.

In order to stop Madam Xing from pestering him, Jia She told Li Meng as they walked away, "Go to my private storehouse and pick out a set of jadeite headwear for Madam."

He glanced at Mrs. Xing and saw that she was smiling with her eyebrows curved, which showed the happiness from the bottom of her heart.

There was no reply from Li Meng behind Jia She. Instead, Lin Zhixiao replied respectfully, "Master, Chief Steward Li has left the mansion with the people who just executed the execution. He did not follow us."

Jia She slapped his forehead and felt secretly annoyed. He was so focused on carrying Jia Cheng home that he forgot that Li Meng was going to get rid of those ruffians.

When Li Meng asked someone for help, he would treat them to a meal and give them some bribes afterwards, otherwise they would not help him next time.

Jia She didn't despise those hooligans at all. As long as they were used well, the sword would be a good one.

Jia She asked Li Meng to find those ruffians to beat up the servants who were rebellious, so that he could use their mouths to spread the matter and ruin Mrs. Wang's reputation.

Jia She's reputation has long been bad. He is not afraid of others saying bad things about him. He even wishes his reputation was even worse.

But Mrs. Wang is different from him. Over the years, the second branch of the family has been pretending to be a good person by stepping on Jia She's reputation.

Now Jia She wants to tear off Lady Wang's face. Lady Wang will definitely not let it go. She will definitely try every means to make trouble for Jia She.

Jia She is not afraid of her using tricks, but he is afraid that she will be a coward. As long as Mrs. Wang takes action, Jia She has a hundred ways to ruin her reputation.

In the past, Jia She was unwilling to argue with Mrs. Wang for the sake of his silly second brother, but now for the sake of his children, he should take action.

Ever since Jia She learned that Jia Cheng was the reincarnation of a unicorn and an immortal from heaven, he felt more confident.

He thought back to those decadent days and felt that he had been too cautious.

He was the study companion of the deposed crown prince, but he did nothing bad, yet was implicated.

Moreover, the deposed crown prince was deposed, not dead. No one could predict what the future would be like. The crown prince had been deposed twice, and maybe he would be deposed again. Pah, he would be enthroned for the third time.

The emperor was prepared to suppress the people around the deposed prince, but he did not say that he would kill the deposed prince.

As long as the deposed prince is still alive, they might be able to turn the tables.

Jia She had also heard some rumors recently that the emperor's attitude towards the deposed prince had softened, and he had also reprimanded those servants who had not served the deposed prince well.

The emperor has always been very good to the deposed crown prince's son Hongxi and kept him by his side. This is also a sign that the emperor has not given up on the deposed crown prince.

Maybe one day the quarreling father and son will reconcile, and by then the prince's followers should be able to return to their high positions.

Originally, Jia She didn't think so much about it. He was always immersed in the sorrow of his father-in-law being confiscated and exiled, and the death of his wife and son.

In addition, before his father Jia Daishan passed away, he had always asked the Jia family to keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious to avoid being liquidated by the emperor.

Only then did Jia She obediently live in the house next to the stable.

But now Jia She felt that something was wrong. He wondered if his father Jia Daishan was fooling him, and the emperor was not so averse to the Rongguo Mansion.

Their family came to power through bondservants, what threat do they pose to the emperor?

Is it because the Jia family has no one in the court that their father asked them to be cautious?

It’s just that the Jia family didn’t have the brains to do that. They misunderstood Jia Daishan’s warning, and then went further and further astray.

Although Lady Jia looks smart, she only has strong control over the inner quarters and is not sensitive to changes in the court.

The Jia family had to keep a low profile if they made any mistakes, but the other officials who followed the deposed prince, as long as they held positions in the court, were still active in the center of power.

Only a family like the Jia family, which has no roots, would be so timid and fearful as to hide away.

When Jia She figured it out, he was speechless. After all, he was the one who suffered the most in this family.

Another victim was Jia Zheng, who had a reputation of living in Rong Xi Tang, worked as a minor official of the fifth rank for ten thousand years, and even sent his own daughter to the palace to be a slave.

Jia Yuanchun could have been exempted from the selection, but in order to let the emperor see the loyalty of the Jia family, this precious eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion was sent to the palace to be a slave.

Jia She sighed. What was the point of his years of living a life of drunkenness and debauchery? What was the point of his second brother's sacrifice? Was it bad luck for their family?

The reason why Jia She suddenly became so clear-headed was because of Jia Cheng. He didn’t understand a man’s love for his son before, but now he suddenly understood.

A father, even if his son has made a big mistake, will eventually soften his heart and the father and son will reconcile sooner or later.

Jia She once thought that if his son Cheng made a mistake one day, he would beat and scold the servants around Cheng, or even kill them, but he was reluctant to do it to his son.

Once my son gives in and comes to comfort me, I will definitely forgive him.

Judge others by yourself. Everyone has seen how good the emperor is to the deposed prince. The emperor will forgive the deposed prince one day.

Jia She was full of confidence and was ready to pave the way for his son. He would keep a low profile on the surface and secretly contact the prince's old ministers. When the day came when the prince was reinstated, he might be able to earn a title for his son.

Jia She never thought that he would fail. His sons were all gods, and he would succeed in whatever he did.

Just so confident.

The first thing he had to do was to take control of the Rongguo Mansion and not let that ignorant woman, Mrs. Wang, hold the power anymore.

Jia She was secretly proud of himself. He knew that Mrs. Wang had been doing many kind things on the surface in the Jia family over the years, but in private, she had done many shameful things in order to compete for the Jia family's property and status.

Now Jia She finally found the opportunity. He wanted to let Mrs. Wang know that she could not get away with it so easily.

He was also hoping that Mrs. Wang would return to her parents' home for help. He wanted to see if Wang Ziteng would come to save her sister.

If Wang Ziteng really came, Jia She could take the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wang over the years and let Wang Ziteng know that he is not so easy to bully.

Then get some benefits.

Wang Ziteng was ostensibly a royalist and was in the limelight. As the Minister of War, he held military power and once became the leader of the four major families.

However, after careful analysis and from his investigation of Mrs. Wang, Jia She discovered some clues that Wang Ziteng was not honest.

Wang Ziteng is an old fox, but he cannot resist his wife and sister who hold him back. This makes Jia She discover that Wang Ziteng has a special relationship with the Eighth Prince.

Jia She guessed that Wang Ziteng had already defected to the Eighth Prince, and used his status as a royalist to gain benefits for the Eighth Prince.

If this kind of hedging and fence-sitting behavior is discovered, it will be a dead end.

Of course Jia She would not point this out, but that did not prevent him from gaining some benefits from it.

Jia She actually understood Wang Ziteng's thoughts very well. The eldest prince and the third prince had withdrawn from the fight for the throne because they were criticized for deposing the crown prince.

The most popular candidate now is the Eighth Prince. Although his mother's family is of humble origin, the Eighth Prince has made great efforts on his own. He is gentle and courteous, and is well-loved by officials.

The eighth prince's wife was from the Guoluolu clan, a prominent Manchu family, and had the support of Prince An's palace.

The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince are also on good terms with the Eighth Prince. This famous Eighth Prince's party is quite powerful.

The Eighth Prince was very charming and had a reputation for being infatuated, which attracted the hearts of many young ladies from officials.

Wang Ziteng’s daughter Wang Xixuan is one of them.

Jia She heard from the maidservant around Mrs. Wang that Wang Xixuan had the opportunity to become the eighth prince's concubine.

The Eighth Prince was already old, but he had only one illegitimate son, Hongwang. Kangxi was very dissatisfied with this and intended to appoint a few more princesses to the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince was always resistant and was deeply in love with the Eighth Lady, but the maidservant around Lady Wang said that Wang Xixuan and the Eighth Prince were already engaged and were waiting to enter the palace after the selection.

After entering the door, she is the concubine, which really gives the Wang family enough respect.

If you say that Wang Ziteng and the Eighth Prince have no private contact, no one would believe it.

Jia She walked while thinking about the Wang family's affairs, and then returned to the East Courtyard.

Jia Cheng felt a little bored in Jia She's arms, and he began to mutter in his heart, "I really want to go out and play, I really want to go out and play."

Jia She looked down at Jia Cheng who was playing with his fingers out of boredom, and patted his head, "Brother Cheng, don't study today, go out and play."

Jia Cheng glanced at the maids and shook his head, "Master, I don't know who to play with. I don't want to play with women."

Jia She laughed loudly after hearing what Jia Cheng said. "Okay, I was negligent. I will pick out some playmates of the same age for you tomorrow, and find some study companions to accompany you. Okay?"

Jia She thought that this silly boy was unwilling to play with women now, but he would know the fun of it when he grows up.

A glimmer of joy flashed across Jia Cheng's eyes, "Thank you, Master."

Then he praised Jia She in his heart, and recited the criteria for selecting a companion to read the poison in his heart. [Daddy is so good, I like Daddy the most. It is really boring to play with those maids. They run slowly and are not smart.

It would be nice if I had a clever, smart, and strong companion to play with me. But I don't want to ask a slave to study with me, so what should I do?

If I bring this up, Dad will probably think I’m too picky. I don’t want to embarrass Dad.]

Jia She heard Jia Cheng's inner thoughts clearly, and he immediately understood what was going on.

It seems that my son is still very thoughtful. It is really an insult to my son to let those slaves be his study companions. It would be better to find some good girls from outside.

You have to choose someone who is smart and strong, who can accompany Cheng Ge'er to study and protect him when he is in danger.

If those good kids become famous through studying, they can help Cheng Ge'er in the future.

When Jia She thought about it, he felt that his son was worthy of being a god. He had a sharp brain and was much better than Jia Baoyu, who hung out with maids all day long.

Jia She couldn't help but pinch Jia Cheng's jade-like face again, and promised him, "Brother Cheng, tomorrow I will call the children of our relatives in Rongguo Mansion for you to choose, and pick a few smart ones to put by your side.

Our Rongguo Mansion was founded on war, so the person we select must have both a talent for studying and strength. If he is not proficient in both civil and military affairs, he is not worthy of being my son's study companion."

When Jia Cheng heard what Jia She said, his eyes lit up, "Thank you, sir. You can make the decision. I believe that you have the best vision."

In Jia Cheng's heart, [My dad is the best, my dad is the greatest, I am so happy!]

Jia She smiled proudly, his son liked him the most, haha.

The system couldn't bear to look at Jia She's stupid look.

[Jia Cheng, you are really good at this. Look, Jia She is almost crippled by you. Tsk tsk.]

Jia Cheng ignored the system's complaints. Isn't that how he uses his golden finger? Who would doubt what he heard with his own ears?

How can you get more benefits and deepen your relationship if you don't fool Jia She? Since ancient times, true love cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts.

Jia Cheng has his own purpose for wanting to study with his teacher. He wants to train his own team from now on. After all, a loyal dog must be cultivated from a young age.

But he didn't expect Jia She to be so understanding. He thought he would waste some time asking Jia She to choose a follower for him, but he didn't expect Jia She to bring it up himself.

This also saved him a lot of trouble.

Jia Cheng knew that if he wanted to absorb great fortune, in addition to getting close to big figures who already had great fortune, he could also cultivate some good seedlings.

Although it takes a long time, the benefits are considerable.

The Jia family has fallen on hard times, but they are still better off than ordinary people. A rotten ship still has 3000 nails. Who knows, there might be some talented people among the Jia family's relatives.

It’s just that those talented people don’t have the opportunity to study, so Jia Cheng gives them this opportunity and helps them pass the exams.

Then let these people say in person that they want to send energy to him, wouldn't the energy be endless in this way?

However, Jia Cheng did not tell the system what he was thinking. He saw that the system was noisy all day long and seemed to be quite normal. He was afraid that the system would object.

The system didn't even tell him some ways to exploit loopholes and absorb good luck, and he needed to unlock them himself. This shows that the system is either honest or stupid, or both.

You say that you are a system that absorbs other people's luck, so what kind of morality do you have? Just be a vampire.

Jia Cheng felt that his system was both legitimate and independent, and was not the same kind as this extremely bad person.

Jia Cheng doesn't want to absorb the luck so slowly, as he wants to exchange for many things.

Since he created an identity for himself as the reincarnation of a god, he must have abilities to match it, and these props all require luck.

Even if it is a favorite concubine system, Jia Cheng can play with it in many ways.

Jia She and his son Jia Cheng smiled at each other happily, but the second branch of the Jia family was gloomy.
