I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 50 Kapok
The system hummed and hawed and was unwilling to talk to Jia Cheng. He said he had trypophobia and was afraid of Jia Cheng's densely packed eyes.
Jia Cheng chuckled, "Brother Tong, where did you learn this joke? It's quite interesting."
Tell me the truth, can your system also play TV series and movies?]
The system froze for a moment, but because he had no physical body now, Jia Cheng did not notice it.
He quickly denied it, "How could that be possible? When have you ever seen me watching TV in front of you?"
I'm asking you to stop being so suspicious. If you think that, there's nothing I can do.]
The system denied it three times in a row, speaking a little loudly.
Jia Cheng rolled his eyes speechlessly. Where did he learn these scumbag quotes? It seemed that this little system was hiding something from him.
But Jia Cheng didn't care. Although his life in ancient times was a little boring, he could check other people's gossip at any time, which was more interesting than watching TV dramas.
Moreover, there are so many things that powerful people can play with. If all else fails, he can just play the blindfolded game with the pretty maidservant around him.
Seeing that the system was getting anxious, Jia Cheng stopped teasing it, for fear of making it angry.
Jia Cheng sat in his own inner study, reading a medical book attentively. Outside, he heard the clinking sounds of carpenters and bricklayers working on the renovation.
As he listened, he felt hungry, so he asked Mu Man to go to the big kitchen to get him some snacks.
Kapok responded crisply, with a sweet smile on her round face, looking sweet and lovely.
But after arriving at the kitchen, Mu Mian's behavior was not as obedient as it was in front of Jia Cheng.
She is just a little girl, but she perfectly illustrates what it means to take advantage of the power of others and show off one's strength.
She came to the big kitchen and stood at the door without saying a word, waiting for someone in the kitchen to come and ask questions.
After Mrs. Xing cleaned up the big kitchen, the people here became much friendlier. Now when they saw a little maid coming here, they didn't dare to scold her casually.
Mrs. Wang asked in a gentle voice, "Which family is your child from?"
Mu Mian raised her little head and chin, "I am a servant of Master Cheng. My name is Mu Mian. Master Cheng told me to come and get some snacks. You guys should make them as soon as possible."
When the people in the kitchen heard that Mu Mian was Jia Cheng's maid, they did not dare to neglect her even though she looked unfamiliar and young.
Mrs. Wang tried hard to recall the origin of Kapok, and said flatteringly: "Oh, it turns out to be Miss Kapok."
The people in the kitchen exchanged glances with each other and finally remembered who this person was. She was a maid bought from outside the mansion.
Everyone has heard that Jia Cheng has four second-class maids, namely Mujin, Kapok, Qiangwei and Narcissus.
From now on, they will all be prepared to be first-class maids, and if they are lucky, they can even become concubines.
Moreover, the maids around Jia Cheng must be treated with care. Everyone in the mansion knows how much Jia She and Madam Xing care about this son.
If you offend Jia She and his wife, you may still have a chance to survive, but if you offend Jia Cheng, you will definitely be beaten to death, and the best outcome is to be sold out.
So the people in the kitchen quickly got to work, putting down what they were doing and surrounding Kapok.
A maid brought a snack to Mu Mian, "Miss Mu Mian, this is lotus root powder and sweet-scented osmanthus sugar cake. Eat two pieces first. I will make snacks for the Third Master right away."
Another maid was considerate enough to bring a stool to Mu Man, "Miss Mu Man, sit down and rest for a while."
There was also a fire-making girl who stayed by Mumian's side and talked to her, "Sister Mumian, the clothes you are wearing are so beautiful."
Mu Man was very proud. She had never received such treatment in her original home. It felt so good to be flattered by others.
Mu Man comes from a large family. Her grandparents had seven children, and her father was the second child and the least valued one.
Mu Man was also unlucky. She was the second daughter born to the second oldest child and the least valued one.
So Muman is full of thoughts at a young age. If she didn't think about herself, she might have died long ago.
Kapok has a favored older brother above her and smart twin brothers and sisters below her. She is the one in the middle and is strong-willed, but she is still not favored and is always ignored.
She even does all the dirty work.
Even though she is only eight years old, she has five years of experience in taking care of children. Ever since she was a little over three years old and began to understand more, she has started helping her mother take care of her younger siblings.
If she did well, she wasn't praised; if she did badly, she was beaten and scolded. When good things happened, it wasn't her turn; when bad things happened, she was the one to take the blame.
Mu Man grew up in such a family. When the family could not afford food during the famine, her grandparents arranged to sell their unfavored granddaughter.
The first one is her.
After all, her father was not favored by his grandparents, so when something happened, the first to be sacrificed was the second child.
Her father was also a coward and directly pushed Mu Man out.
Mu Mian had actually anticipated this outcome for herself. In fact, she felt that being sold was a good thing, as it was better than being beaten and bullied at home.
But she didn't expect that she was so lucky to be sold to the Rongguo Mansion.
She will know that the highest official is the county magistrate. In her opinion, the county magistrate is already a very important person.
But unexpectedly, the Rongguo Mansion was many levels higher than the county magistrate's. Muqian knew that his future was bright.
Just coming to the kitchen to order some snacks is already an extraordinary treatment.
She never could have imagined in the past that she would be flattered by so many people.
Mu Mian was very proud. She thought that she must please Master Cheng San and become the most useful maid by his side.
She wanted to live like this forever, being flattered and fawned upon, and never return to her poor and miserable home.
It only took a quarter of an hour for the kitchen to prepare several desserts and preserved fruit snacks. Mrs. Zhou was thoughtful and even brought a pot of honey water for Jia Cheng.
Mu Man, accompanied by the kitchen maid and two old women, arrived at the door of Jia Cheng's study in a heroic and confident manner.
Walking on the road with a group of people, Muqian felt very powerful.
Mu Mian instructed Daylily and Iris, who were sweeping the yard, to help her carry the snacks into the study. After they put down the snacks, Mu Mian waved her hand and asked them to leave.
The maids and old women in the kitchen didn't even have the chance to enter the house and could only greet Jia Cheng at the door.
Mu Mian didn't want the third-class maid to talk too much in front of Jia Cheng, and of course those lowly bastards in the kitchen were not allowed to show up in front of Jia Cheng.
Jia Cheng noticed Mu Mian's little action, but didn't care.
This is the person he chose as the substitute for the mouthpiece. She must be aggressive, vicious, and able to make a fuss.
He would slowly indulge Mu Mian and cultivate her into such a person. With the contrast of such a vicious little maid, Jia Cheng believed that his image would become even more glorious.
Do you think that since he could keep such a vicious little maidservant by his side and treat her with kindness, everyone would think he is kind and tolerant.
He would establish the persona of a god in front of dignitaries. God needs to be compassionate and tolerant.
He can tolerate the good and the bad, which makes him like a god.
Of course, it can also be said that he doesn’t care whether humans are good or bad, they are all ants in front of him anyway.
How others interpret it depends on their own ideas. Jia Cheng just needs to cultivate his own control group.
Jia Cheng was generous in rewarding Muqian. He asked Narcissus to give Muqian a gold bean and told her to take some copper coins to reward the people in the kitchen.
Mu Man looked at Narcissus with some jealousy. She felt that Narcissus was not as pretty as her, and she was expressionless and arrogant. She didn't know why the Third Master valued her so much and let her be in charge of the small amount of money.
Mu Mian was filled with jealousy and thought that she must teach Narcissus a lesson to let her know that she was the most favored person around Jia Cheng.
Jia Cheng naturally caught the malice in Mu Man's eyes. He curled his lips slightly and then ignored it.
Jia Cheng read for a while and ate a little snack, then he felt a little tired.
He put down the medical book and looked out the window, and saw Jia She coming from Rong Xi Hall. As soon as he entered the room, he picked up Jia Cheng and wanted to take him out to bask in the sun.
"Brother Cheng, don't stay in your room reading all the time. You have almost finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics. You have memorized the contents anyway, so there is no need to rush to understand their meanings.
You are too young now, you should play more. When you are older, you can take the exam to become a student, then a scholar, then a juren, and finally a zhuangyuan.
Dad believes you can do it, so there is no need to rush to study, you are still young. "
Jia Cheng didn't expect that Jia She had so much confidence in him. Come to think of it, it was just him. If he were a god, it would be easy for him to become the top scorer in the imperial examination.
He has a very good relationship with the gods in heaven, and Wenquxing is also his buddy, so getting the top six places in the imperial examination should be no problem for him.
The pills produced by the system are indeed very useful. He feels that his IQ is now extremely high and most people cannot compare to him.
Besides, he has the system as a cheat, so the imperial examination is a piece of cake.
But he didn't want to take the imperial examination seriously, and didn't want to work hard to take the examination in that small room.
Jia Zhu was exhausted by the imperial examination, so Jia Cheng did not want to follow Jia Zhu's path.
As long as he sets himself up well and the royal family knows about it, he can be directly granted an official position because of his auspicious sign.
He has traveled through time with a golden finger, so who would bother to take the imperial examination? Stupid? He can ascend to heaven in one step with just one word from the emperor.
Who cares about the opinions of those so-called literati? In ancient times, people respected ghosts and gods the most. His auspicious sign would be praised to the sky by these literati.
Jia Cheng happily gave himself a thumbs up. I am indeed a time traveler who does not follow the beaten path. The character design of Qilin is good, wonderful, and awesome.
Jia Cheng looked through the system mall and saw the bottle of Shenglonghuohuo Pills and his stagnant luck value. He thought that it was time for him to make a name for himself.
Old lady, you are blessed.
