I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 55 Jia Cheng Captures Grandmother Jia’s Heart
Jia Cheng was held in the arms of Grandmother Jia as if he were her own precious child. Jia She was somewhat unhappy about this and wanted to snatch his son back.
But Grandmother Jia hugged Jia Cheng very tightly and looked at Jia She with some caution, so Jia She did not dare to speak.
His waist still aches slightly.
Besides, the old lady is fine, so he should not make her angry, otherwise his son’s medicine would be in vain.
Jia Cheng is very close to Lady Jia. As Lady Jia's favorability towards him keeps rising, Lady Jia's luck starts to drift towards Jia Cheng. Jia Cheng secretly thinks that this is not good.
Jia Cheng warned the system in his heart, [System, please help me shut down the thing that absorbs Lady Jia's luck. I know you can control it.
Don't have any ulterior motives. Grandmother Jia's luck must be restored quickly, otherwise others will question my medical skills.]
Jia Cheng doesn't care about Lady Jia's current meager luck; his target is other dignitaries.
So Grandmother Jia must recover as soon as possible.
When the system heard Jia Cheng's warning, it moved its little hands and shut down the thing that absorbed luck.
Jia Cheng nodded with satisfaction. This broken system was sometimes quite obedient and didn't do anything bad to him.
If the system is a complete pig teammate, Jia Cheng will definitely kill him.
From what Jia Cheng had done before, the system knew that he had run out of energy due to the previous host. This also shows that the system has weaknesses and can be defeated.
Jia Cheng doesn’t know how to control this little thing yet, but he will know it sooner or later.
After Jia's mother calmed down, she took Jia Cheng's hand and asked carefully, "Brother Cheng, how much of the medicine did you make? Grandmother didn't use it in vain. You cured Grandmother, which is a great achievement. I will give you whatever you want."
Grandmother Jia spoke with great pride and confidence.
Grandmother Jia has a lot of good things in her private collection. When she married into the Jia family from the Shi family, she was extremely wealthy.
Later, Jia Daishan went to the battlefield to fight and gained a lot of spoils.
Jia She was unwilling to be lonely at the border, so he took in one concubine after another. He also felt guilty and wrong, so he gave a lot of spoils to Lady Jia.
The easiest way to make money is to fight a war. There are all kinds of spoils captured. As the commander-in-chief, Jia Daishan takes the biggest share, and the others share the rest.
The Rongguo Mansion was able to live such a luxurious life, largely because it relied on the spoils captured in the war.
The royal family also turned a blind eye to the generals keeping the spoils for themselves.
After all, if you make someone work so hard outside, you can't just not give them any benefits.
So the extremely wealthy Jia Daishan gave the extremely wealthy Jia Mu a lot of good things. After accumulating for so many years, Jia Mu's small treasury was truly enviable.
Wang Xifeng has been trying to curry favor with Lady Jia since she got married, not only because Lady Jia has a high status, but also because she has her eyes on the good things in Lady Jia's hands.
Although Wang Xifeng always said that the Wang family was rich, Jia Lian could live on just sweeping the cracks in the floor.
But that was because Jia Lian's father didn't love him and his mother was still alive, so he lived in poverty.
But compared with the Jia family, the Wang family is actually still one level lower.
And Wang Xifeng was only the niece of Wang Ziteng, the head of the Wang family. No matter how rich the Wang family was, it had nothing to do with her, a married niece.
The generous dowry that could be given to her was all obtained by Wang Zisheng.
Wang Xifeng likes to wield power and loves money even more. For the sake of money, she is willing to curry favor with Lady Jia.
Wang Xifeng acted as a clown in front of Lady Jia every day, trying her best to make her happy, but all she got in return were some simple jewelry. Lady Jia never gave Wang Xifeng anything particularly precious.
Because Wang Xifeng is Lady Wang's niece, after all, Lady Jia still treats her a little worse.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are natural allies. Grandmother Jia cannot guarantee that Wang Xifeng will support her at the critical moment, so her favor for Wang Xifeng is reserved.
But now Grandmother Jia's love for Jia Cheng is almost catching up with that for Jia Baoyu. After all, it was this grandson who brought her health.
Now what Grandmother Jia showed to Jia Cheng was that she would give him whatever he wanted. After all, compared with health, those material things were not important.
When Jia She heard what Grandmother Jia said, his eyes lit up. He had long believed that Grandmother Jia had something good, and he was eager to answer for his son what he wanted.
Jia Cheng, however, is not greedy at all. Grandmother Jia is just a tool he uses to absorb good fortune.
As long as Lady Jia is alive, her luck will continue to flow, and Jia Cheng can continue to take advantage of her.
He would never give up his luck for a little money.
There are all kinds of good things in the mall. Would he be interested in those gold, silver and jewelry?
So Jia Cheng said sincerely: "Grandma, as long as you are healthy, I will be happy, I don't want anything else.
As your grandson, seeing you safe and happy is my greatest blessing.
Grandma, I only made this pill for ten days. If you need it, I will make it again.
I saw on the prescription that it said that I would be completely cured after taking it for a month."
Grandmother Jia stared at the medicine bottle in Jia Cheng's hand with shining eyes, and Jia Cheng very tactfully put the medicine bottle in Grandmother Jia's hand.
Grandmother Jia was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She hugged Jia Cheng's shoulders and said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, you are so filial. You are really the apple of my eye.
How come you are so smart? Those who study medicine for their entire lives cannot learn as much as you have learned in just a few days. You are truly my good grandson."
When Jia Cheng heard the praise from his grandmother, he didn't agree with it, but he still said modestly: "Grandma, I just saw that you were not in good health and I was worried, so I thought of making some pills for you, hoping that you can get better soon.
I didn’t expect this pill to be so effective. It must be that you are so blessed that this pill worked so quickly.”
After hearing what Jia Cheng said, Jia's mother was even more delighted and said, "Good boy, you are really thoughtful.
Grandma likes these pills very much. You can make some more for her. Grandma knows that you are a filial and good child, and she likes you very much.
Jia Cheng said: "Grandma, don't worry, I will make more pills for you so that you can get better and better.
Grandmother, I wish you a long life, and I hope Cheng will pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar."
Grandmother Jia said: "Good boy, grandma believes in you. You must study hard and live up to grandma's expectations of you.
Grandma will always support you, and my brother Cheng will definitely become the top scholar."
After saying this, Grandmother Jia burst into laughter.
Seeing how happy Lady Jia was, Jia Cheng also started laughing, and Jia She also laughed along.
The maids were relieved to see how happy Grandmother Jia was. They laughed along with her, and the room was immediately filled with laughter.
Grandmother Jia felt full of strength and was in a very good mood. She quickly summoned Feicui.
"Fei Cui, go to my storehouse and pick out some toys for Brother Cheng, as well as the best crowns, jade pendants, necklaces, and the best four treasures of the study. Take some of them for Brother Cheng."
Grandmother Jia looked at Jia She with some resentment, "As a father, you don't know how to dress your son well.
Did you spend all the money you have on antiques? You are so harsh to my brother Cheng.
From now on, I will take care of all of Cheng'er's clothes and jewelry. My grandson should not be dressed worse than anyone else."
Jia She didn't say a word after being scolded. If something like this happened, he wouldn't talk back.
Grandmother Jia felt that Jia Cheng was too plain. When she thought of Baoyu wearing a golden crown on his head and a golden necklace around his neck, she wished that he was dressed like a jewelry display stand.
However, Jia Cheng only had his hair tied into a bun like a child with a rope on his head. The clothes he wore were also very simple, with only a jade pendant holding down the corner of his clothes. He also wore a small purse to hold things.
It was really too plain, and even Lady Jia felt sad when she saw it.
After Jia's grandmother had finished enriching the jadeite, she kindly lowered her head and asked Jia Cheng, "Brother Cheng, is there anything else you want? If you want anything in the future, come to me. I have everything for you."
Jia Cheng raised his delicate little face and said innocently: "Grandma, I want you to be healthy and never get sick again.
When you were sick, I was so worried that I sometimes even dreamed of reading medical books at night."
When Grandmother Jia heard this, she was so moved that she burst into tears. At this time, she couldn't help but compare Jia Baoyu and Jia Cheng, and felt that Jia Cheng was really a good grandson.
In fact, she also knew that she was not very good to Jia Cheng. She had mostly ignored him in the past, and sometimes even felt disgusted with Jia Cheng because of Jia She and Mrs. Xing.
But I didn't expect Jia Cheng to be so filial. Even though I was an incompetent grandmother, Jia Cheng still maintained a pure and filial heart.
How could she not like such a child?
Thinking about how good Jia Cheng was, Grandmother Jia felt even more guilty and regretted her decision.
Relatively speaking, Jia Baoyu also cared about her very much, but he had been forced to study in recent days and came less often.
Before, Grandmother Jia felt sorry for Jia Baoyu's hard work in studying, but now she couldn't help but think that Baoyu, whom she had loved for six years, had no conscience.
Although Jia Baoyu was forced to study, his grandmother knew that Jia Zheng could not force Jia Baoyu to study all the time, and he must have time to rest.
But during this rest time, Jia Baoyu would rather sleep in the house and play with the maids than come to see his grandmother.
Thinking about it this way, Baoyu is still too naive and not as sensible as Jia Cheng.
Grandmother Jia is such a person who knows the times. She will like whoever can bring her greater benefits. Now it is obvious that Jia Cheng has the upper hand.
However, Jia Baoyu's face and the jade he was born with are also a fatal blow to Grandmother Jia, and she cannot give up easily.
It depends on the two grandsons. Whoever is more promising and filial in the future will be the one that Grandmother Jia favors.
However, looking at Lady Jia's favorability of 75, Jia Cheng felt that he was already halfway to success.
He is a professional when it comes to dealing with old men and women. He just didn't like selling health products back then, otherwise he would definitely be the top seller.
