I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 23 Various Pills
Mrs. Wang was tricked by Jia She and her face turned blue with anger. Those useless servants did not do their job properly and actually gave Jia She a handle on them, causing her to suffer the consequences as well.
Seeing his wife's unfriendly gaze and somewhat distorted expression, Jia Zheng sighed and turned away.
In fact, Jia Zheng didn't like Wang Fu-ren's little actions, nor did he like her actions against the first wife.
But Jia Zheng hated trouble even more, so he could only ignore what Mrs. Wang did.
After Jia Zhu's death, Mrs. Wang was heartbroken and her temperament changed drastically. Sometimes she did things a little cruelly. However, Jia Zheng turned a blind eye to it for Jia Zhu's sake.
He believed that if he were not deaf and dumb, he would not have been a patriarch. The Rongguo Mansion was not his responsibility, but he had to bear it. He was already in great pain, so he didn't want to get involved.
Jia Zheng looked sternly at Mrs. Wang with a stern gaze, "Madam, let's give the housekeeping power to the eldest lady. You are not suitable for housekeeping now."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she dug her nails into her palms and said with suppressed anger: "Master, the eldest lady is from a humble family and doesn't know how to manage a household. If the housekeeper Quan teaches him, he will easily make a fool of himself outside.
I made a small mistake, but the master refused to forgive me. Today he humiliated me so much, but you stood on the master's side. "
As Mrs. Wang spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, but there were no tears in her eyes, only ferocity. She couldn't cry at all. She tried to act pitiful but failed.
Jia Zheng did not like Mrs. Wang's pretentiousness, and his voice involuntarily became colder. He said without question: "Madam, I am not discussing with you. Whether the eldest lady can manage this family well is her business, but you must give up the power of housekeeping.
The servants you assigned to the first house neglected their duties, and Cheng'er almost got into trouble when he went out. People who know you say that you don't know people well and don't care about the first house, and people who don't know you think you are trying to murder the eldest son of the first house. "
Jia Zheng was upset and upset by Mrs. Wang's pretentious behavior, so he spoke more harshly.
But these words made Mrs. Wang's heart skip a beat, and she lowered her head feeling guilty.
She had indeed thought so, otherwise she would not have assigned those useless servants to the first house. If Jia Cheng got into trouble because of these careless servants, it would be easy for her to shirk responsibility.
Mrs. Wang hated the first wife and also hated Jia Cheng, who was born at the same time as Jia Baoyu. She always wanted to see the first wife suffer misfortune.
But she didn't expect Jia She to be so perceptive and to expose the servant's negligence in doing her job, which made her lose face.
Now it seems that Jia Zheng also knows about her little tricks against the eldest wife, but Jia She did not resist before, and Jia Zheng did not stand up for his eldest brother.
It seems that the person next to her is not completely innocent either. He may be full of malice towards the first wife. Why is he pretending to be a good person now?
Mrs. Wang despised Jia Zheng in her heart and wanted to pull him to her side.
She was really unwilling to hand over the housekeeper power directly. Who is Mrs. Xing? Can she manage the Rongguo Mansion well?
Also, Mrs. Wang likes to wield power, and a woman cannot live without power for a day.
As the housekeeper, she is very powerful outside and is the object of everyone's flattery at home. If she gives away the power of housekeeper, Mrs. Wang will feel uncomfortable.
Without the nourishment of power, Mrs. Wang felt like a fish out of water, her whole body would wither away.
Mrs. Wang could imagine the expressions of the servants in Rongguo Mansion. They would definitely change their attitude immediately and would no longer be so attentive to serving her and Baoyu.
Mrs. Wang couldn't stand this gap.
In Rongguo Mansion, people flatter the powerful and bully the weak. Once you lose your power, everyone will look down on you. Mrs. Wang doesn't want to live that kind of life.
She still liked the days when she could call the shots in the Rongguo Mansion, so she made a compromise request, "Master." When she called out "Master," Mrs. Wang's tears fell.
She sobbed and cried very pitifully, "I didn't expect that you thought of me like this in your heart, you really make me sad.
We have been married for many years, don't you know who I am, Master?"
Jia Zheng was speechless. It was because he knew exactly what kind of person his wife was that he blurted out some of his true feelings.
Jia Zheng said nothing, and Mrs. Wang continued to play the victim, "Master, those servants are entangled in entanglements, deceiving their superiors and subordinates and deceiving me, so I chose those servants for the first house.
At the beginning, they behaved quite well. There are so many servants in Rongguo Mansion that I can't even recognize the servants born in the family. How could I know that the people assigned to the first house would be so useless. "
Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and glanced at Jia Zheng's face. Seeing that he still had no expression on his face, she secretly hated him for being such a wooden man.
"Master, I am so sad that you would speculate about me like this. I don't want to work so hard to manage the huge Rongguo Mansion. It is not easy for me to manage the food, clothing and daily necessities of so many people.
I am just afraid that my sister-in-law will not be able to manage Rongguo Mansion well and make a fool of herself. Since the master said so, I will hand over the housekeeper power. "
Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Zheng's expression had eased, and she felt even more upset. She changed the subject and said, "But we can't leave everything to my eldest sister-in-law. Xifeng has been helping me with the household, and she is also the daughter-in-law of the eldest wife. Let her assist my eldest sister-in-law from the side."
Mrs. Wang added, "Everything I do is for the good of the Duke's Mansion."
It is impossible to truly delegate power. The Rongguo Mansion was once prosperous, and she had reaped a lot of benefits from it.
Although the Rongguo Mansion is now facing a difficult time with the death of Jia Daishan and the lack of successors in the Jia family, it is still possible to squeeze out some money.
It is impossible for Mrs. Wang to give up the benefits she has obtained, and she cannot be without rights.
Rongguo Mansion is hers, and will be Baoyu's in the future. Mrs. Wang has already made clear arrangements for the future of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Zheng and Lady Wang have been married for so many years, how could they not know her little thoughts?
But because she is a vested interest, she never says a word.
He also knew that he couldn't let Mrs. Wang give up all the housekeeping power directly, and Mrs. Xing from the first wife's house did not have the ability to manage the entire Rongguo Mansion, so it was okay to let Wang Xifeng assist from the side.
Jia Zheng was not bothered by what he saw, and he was unwilling to waste time talking to Mrs. Wang. "Okay, let Lian'er's wife help the eldest sister-in-law manage the household."
The two finally reached a consensus. Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief and silently chanted a Buddhist prayer wheel while turning her Buddhist beads.
Since Jia Zhu's death, Mrs. Wang set up a small Buddhist shrine in her room and pretended to be a kind-hearted person.
However, in the Buddhist temple, apart from praying for Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu, she spent more time cursing those people she hated.
Mrs. Wang had a wooden face and looked at Jia Zheng in silence.
Jia Zheng didn't like this somewhat old-fashioned woman. She was obviously not like this when they got married, but now she was becoming more and more boring.
Jia Zheng waved his hand and went to Aunt Zhao's room. When Mrs. Wang saw the direction Jia Zheng left, she knew that he had gone to find that bitch again. She was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she had to endure it.
Seeing her master so angry, Zhou Ruijia immediately hid in the corner and pretended to be invisible.
There was a murderous look in Mrs. Wang's eyes. She was determined to make that little bastard Jia Cheng die. Ever since this bastard regained his sanity, everything had gone wrong in her family.
She confirmed that Jia Chengke was the second wife.
Jia Cheng could probably sense Mrs. Wang's ill will towards him, because he saw from the system's favorability that Mrs. Wang had a negative number.
He asked the system speechlessly, "Brother Tong, Mrs. Wang's favorability towards me is a bit exaggerated. I always thought that favorability was a positive number. How can it be a negative number? Do I owe her favorability points?"
The system was somewhat speechless, and it transformed into a physical entity standing on Jia Cheng's shoulder, [Brother Cheng, what do you think? Negative numbers mean that this person has ill intentions towards you. Your brain circuit is really different from that of normal people.]
Jia Cheng's eyes flashed and he grinned and said "oh", his brain circuit was indeed different from that of normal people. Mrs. Wang had ill intentions towards him, so what? If the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. How could he be afraid of an ancient woman like Mrs. Wang?
What he wanted to conquer was this dynasty and the sea of stars.
He asked the system tentatively in his mind, [System, you said that I came to this era to collect luck, but I think dragon energy is more precious than luck.
You said if I overthrow this dynasty and become the emperor, will I be able to bring you more luck? How about you help me? ]
Jia Cheng, an ambitious man, has always liked to fight back from the bottom and then sit at the pinnacle of power and watch the world go by.
When he came to this dynasty, he also wanted to do something great. What was the point of being the son of a general whose property would be confiscated in the future? He wanted to be a superior person.
Anyway, the Jia family has offended the emperor, and the Aisin-Gioro family doesn't like the Jia family very much, so it's better to just kill them and be the master of their own house.
The system was stunned by Jia Cheng's question, its small eyes were wide open, and it didn't know how to react.
The system sparrow pecked Jia Cheng's cheek gently with its little mouth, [Brother Cheng, big brother, please don't cause trouble for me. We are outsiders in this world, so please be quiet.
You can change your own destiny a little bit. Of course, it would be fine if you could change the destiny of your entire family. Let's talk to Heaven about it.
But if you want to overthrow this dynasty, that would change the trajectory of this book, which is absolutely not possible. We would easily be excluded from this world.]
The system's brain was confused. How come this host was more ambitious than the previous crazy woman?
Jia Cheng asked with some confusion, “Brother System, if I want to change my destiny and the destiny of my entire family, then wouldn’t the book Dream of Red Mansions also have to be changed?
I don’t want to be exiled, I don’t want to live a hard life, I still want to collect more luck for you, I absolutely cannot become an ordinary person.]
The system was in a dilemma. [Anyway, we can’t kill the emperor. He is a person of great luck. You can’t do it blindly, or I will be struck by lightning.]
Jia Cheng felt a little regretful and a little reluctant, [Okay, for your sake I will let the emperor of this world go.]
The system let out a long sigh, [My little ancestor, please don't cause me any trouble. We are here to collect luck and fortune, and we are here to take advantage of others. If you overturn their pot, we will have nothing to eat.]
Jia Cheng's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he said half-jokingly: "Brother Tong, I don't want to be the emperor. If I were to be a king of the opposite sex, would I not be rejected by this world? I won't do anything to the emperor."
The system blinked and said uncertainly: [Then I don’t know. I can’t contact my parents now. I have to figure everything out on my own.
I'm really not sure about this, but you should just protect the Jia family first. It's still too far to become a prince. You're so young now, you can't do anything.]
Jia Cheng sighed heavily, [Yes, I am too young now and can’t do anything.
Tongtong, please give me some advice. I will use my luck points to buy some practical skills. You decide which one is suitable.]
The system flapped its wings and pondered, while Jia Cheng opened the system mall and began to choose.
The system spat out all the luck points that had been absorbed before, so Jia Cheng is still quite rich now.
Although the contents of this system mall are fancy and are for women, Jia Cheng also found a lot of useful things in it.
For example, medical books, various pills, strengthening liquids for strengthening the body, and even dual cultivation secrets.
These basic items are not expensive and are affordable for Jia Cheng.
What Jia Cheng longed for most were the marrow cleansing pills and the secret manuals of cultivating immortality. If he couldn't be an emperor on earth, it would be nice to be an immortal cultivator.
Jia Cheng yearns for power, but power is nothing in front of Changsheng.
His ultimate goal of becoming emperor is to collect more luck points and then exchange them for secret books on cultivating immortals.
Looking at the long list of luck values behind the Five Elements Longevity Secret in the immortal cultivation manual, Jia Cheng's eyes turned cold.
The system didn't notice Jia Cheng's look, and clicked on the pill page of the system mall, [Brother Cheng, buy the Enlightenment Pill, Beauty Pill, Slimming Pill, Strength Pill, and Fragrant Pill. With this set of things, your IQ and beauty points will be enough, and it's not expensive.]
Jia Cheng frowned slightly when he heard the system's words, and then regained his gentle expression, "Brother Tong, what's the use of this beauty pill? I'm not a woman, and those external things are useless. I'll just buy the Qizhi Pill and the Dali Pill. ]
Jia Cheng felt that his appearance in this life was good enough. He had inherited all the advantages of Jia She and Lady Xing. Coupled with his cool and pure temperament like a banished immortal, he would surely charm a lot of people when he grew up.
He felt that he was already perfect and there was no need to strive for perfection and waste his luck. Money should be spent wisely.
As for the Enlightenment Pills and the Strength Pills, he really needed them. After all, he couldn't overthrow this dynasty and become the emperor, so he could only take the imperial examination route.
He could also create a persona for himself that is both civil and military, and then sneak into the palace to interact more with the emperor and the princes and grandchildren to collect luck points.
Jia Cheng’s idea was good, but the system also had its own reasons. “Brother Cheng, although you look good now, who knows if you will become ugly when you grow up? The beauty pill will keep your skin in the best condition and prevent spots and acne.
Your skin must be flawless to match your cool and pure temperament. If you want to pretend to be a god, you can't get tanned by the sun.
The slimming pill can keep your body in perfect condition. Even if you don't exercise, you still have eight abdominal muscles, which is in line with the image of a god. If you get fat, you won't look like a god.
As for the body fragrance pills, they will make your body emit a pleasant fragrance all the time, so that you will never feel embarrassed at any time. Even when you sweat, you will smell good, which is in line with the character of a divine beast that you have set for yourself.]
The system rattled off a bunch of reasons, which gave Jia Cheng a headache, but he still listened to it.
Who told him to say that he was the divine beast Qilin who had descended to earth? He had to act like a deity who had descended to earth.
Since the system was so hard-working, Jia Cheng bought all these things.
The system was obviously very happy. The more things Jia Cheng bought, the more luck points he got. He wished that Jia Cheng would spend all his luck points by spending every day.
Jia Cheng obviously would not do as the system wished, he was calculating carefully.
As soon as Jia Cheng's mind was focused, several pills appeared in his hand. They smelled extremely fragrant and made his body and mind feel extremely comfortable. They did not look like ordinary pills.
He threw all the pills into his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them. His body didn't react at all after eating them.
The system told him that these pills would transform his body subtly and would not happen overnight.
Jia Cheng accepted the system's explanation. If the drug took effect too quickly, he would suffer. It was better to take it slowly.
It seems that the things in the system mall are pretty good, and Jia Cheng is even more looking forward to the secret book of cultivating immortals.
