I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 72 Sending Silver Notes
Jia She sat upright in the study, reading with Jia Cheng.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door. Jia She raised his eyebrows slightly, and had some guesses in his mind, but he remained calm and just said softly, "Come in."
Nanny Xu gently pushed the door open, with a bright smile on her face, and walked in quickly.
There was a hint of excitement in her eyes, as if she was hiding some important news.
"Master, there is good news!" Nanny Xu's voice was filled with irrepressible joy.
Jia She raised his head, looked away from the book, and looked at Nanny Xu, pretending to be ignorant and asked: "Nanny, what good news makes you so happy?"
Nanny Xu pointed at Yuchuan who was standing respectfully outside the window and said softly, "The second wife sent someone to give you some money. The second wife said that she made a mistake in the previous calculation and now she wants to make up for it to the public."
There was a hint of contempt in her tone, and she was obviously dissatisfied with the second wife's behavior.
How could a wife who is in charge of household expenses make a mistake in calculation?
Everyone knows the trick here. It's just that they embezzled public money and are now looking for an excuse to return the money.
Jia She's expression remained calm, as if he had expected this.
There was a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm in his eyes, as if he was mocking Mrs. Wang's little tricks.
He raised his hand slightly, motioning Yuchuan to come in and answer.
Yuchuan walked into the study with light steps and bowed respectfully. Then, she carefully raised the tray, on which a stack of banknotes were neatly placed.
Jia She glanced at the stack of banknotes and sneered in his heart. He knew that this so-called "repayment" was just a temporary measure by Mrs. Wang. If Wang Ziteng hadn't pressured her, she would not have paid it back.
However, he did not show it, but calmly asked Yuchuan to put down the banknote.
"Master, my wife said that some accounts were not sorted out before. After sorting them out, my wife said that the missing money should be paid to the public."
Jia She snorted coldly, "Why doesn't your Second Madam come herself for such an important matter?"
Facing the question, Yuchuan smiled and lowered her head to answer, "In reply to the eldest master, the second wife has to worship Buddha in the temple during this period and it is inconvenient for her to go out, so she sent me here to give the eldest master some money."
Jia She sneered, took the banknote and looked at it, then waved his hand and let Yuchuan go.
He never expected that Wang Ziteng's efficiency was so high that he could really make his sister return the money she had embezzled and even make Mrs. Wang voluntarily go to the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha.
Looking at the 50,000 taels of silver returned by Mrs. Wang, Jia She knew that the money Mrs. Wang had embezzled must be much more than that.
But he also understood that this matter cannot be rushed. He had already driven Wang Yarong back to the Buddhist temple and asked her to hand over the silver. He estimated that Wang Yarong must hate him to the core now.
Jia She was worried that if he pushed Wang Yarong too far, she would do something stupid and harm his beloved son again.
Therefore, Jia She planned to wait until Wang Ziteng fulfilled all his promises, and then let Wang Yarong suffer in the Buddhist temple for a year or two, and then release her and slowly deal with her.
Jia She understood clearly that instead of giving Mrs. Wang a quick death and letting her die to atone for Cheng'er's crime, it would be better to keep her alive and continue to gain benefits from her.
Wang Ziteng is now in the emperor's favor, so how could Jia She let go of such a vulnerable person? As long as Madam Wang is in hand, Wang Ziteng will come over eagerly to bring benefits to the Jia family.
Jia She felt that he was extremely clever and raised his head with pride.
Jia Cheng glanced at the pile of banknotes out of the corner of his eye, and was extremely envious.
There are many things he likes in his life, including gold, silver, jewelry, wealth, power, beautiful women and beautiful scenery. He likes all the beautiful things in the world.
Of course, what he likes most is money. With money, everything he likes will come into his hands.
Jia Cheng flipped through the medical book calmly on the surface, as if he regarded money as dirt, but in his heart he had already started to cry poor.
[This Tremella and Ganoderma Lucidum Soup is very good. It can nourish the kidneys and the heart, nourish the lungs and calm the mind. Recently, my father has been looking for ancient books for me. I can’t eat or sleep well, and I have lost weight.
This medicinal food is good, but the Lingzhi seems to be very expensive. I don’t know if there is any in the mansion. If not, I don’t know if I have enough money to buy it. ]
When Jia She heard Jia Cheng's thoughts, he was moved and touched Jia Cheng's hair.
Jia Cheng pretended to know nothing, gave Jia She an innocent and lovely smile, and continued reading.
[Daddy is so good to me, I must make a Tremella and Ganoderma Lucidum Soup for him to nourish his body. At worst I can just sell my gold lock and gold necklace.
I'm grown up now and I don't wear these things anymore, so I don't think they'll be discovered. If my mom finds out, I'll just say I lost them, hehe.]
When Jia She heard that Jia Cheng was willing to sell his gold lock and gold necklace in order to nourish his body, his heart softened.
Jia She directly stuffed the stack of banknotes into Jia Cheng's hands, and Jia Cheng looked at Jia She with a puzzled look.
System: It’s simply unbearable to watch.
Jia She coughed lightly, "Brother Cheng, you have grown up and need to learn how to spend money. Spend these banknotes. If you don't have enough, ask daddy for more."
Jia Cheng pushed the banknote back to Jia She, "Master, I can't spend so much money. This is Second Aunt's money to supplement the public expenses. It's not good for me to hold it.
Madam has been managing the household recently and needs to spend a lot of money, so you can give it to Madam." Jia Cheng's eyes were firm, and he didn't even look at the money.
Jia She forcefully put the banknote in Jia Cheng's hand and said, "The money of Rongguo Mansion is the money of our eldest house. You don't need to worry about whether Madam is short of money or not. Anyway, you can't spend less.
You can buy whatever you want. If you want any herbs to make medicine, just take the money from Madam and buy it."
Seeing that Jia She was so determined, Jia Cheng accepted the banknote with a reluctant expression on his face.
[With this money, I can try out a few more effective prescriptions to nourish Dad and Mom’s bodies.
I remember that the Medicine King has a prescription that can beautify and nourish the skin. I wonder if the mortal world can gather enough medicinal materials.]
Jia She sighed that Jia Cheng was really filial. If he could come up with a beauty-enhancing medicine, his wife would probably be overjoyed.
However, Jia She is a grown man and doesn't care much about beauty prescriptions.
He picked up the teacup and sipped the tea in a good mood.
At this time Jia Cheng spoke again, [The medicine boy of the King of Medicine seemed to have shown me a prescription for pregnancy and childbirth. I can remember the general idea, but it seems that this family member cannot use it.
There are also aphrodisiacs for treating kidney deficiency, sperm deficiency, and impotence, but these are also of little use.
There is nothing a man cannot do. This prescription is really funny. The Medicine King only collects random prescriptions.]
Jia She spat out a mouthful of tea. He instantly lost his composure when he heard the prescription. Oh, this is not a messy prescription, this is a man's dignity.
His son is just naive. He thinks that all the men in the mortal world are gods. How can they always be strong and powerful?
As people get older, they start to feel less able to do things, so they need this medicine.
If I could take the aphrodisiac from the Medicine King, I would be a superstar.
Jia Cheng saw Jia She spit out a mouthful of tea, and hurriedly wiped the water stains on his body, saying with concern: "Master, why are you so careless? You must have choked."
The culprit Jia Cheng pretended to be innocent, and Jia She was so anxious that he scratched his head.
How should he express to his young son that he was not good enough and needed an aphrodisiac?
I can't say that I heard what he was thinking.
Jia She had a sad face, and Jia Cheng had an innocent face.
Jia She held it in for a long time, then said with a grumble: "Brother Cheng, I see that you have a special talent in medicine. If you have any good prescriptions, please make the medicine.
It is good whether we keep it for ourselves or give it to relatives as gifts.
Is this money enough? If not, we can go to the public school to get more. Dad will definitely support you to become a famous doctor."
Jia She blinked his innocent eyes and nodded, "Master, I understand. I have a medicinal diet that can nourish your body.
If you feel good after taking it, I will make it for you. I have some other prescriptions here, but they all need to be improved.
If we can use it, I will make it.”
Jia Cheng knew what Jia She wanted, but he was trying to be mean and refused to fulfill his wish.
Jia She and Jia Cheng talked around the subject for a long time, but Jia Cheng didn't mention the aphrodisiac.
Jia She was anxious, "Shuanbao, whether we can use this medicine or not, you can make it, and making it can benefit others.
Just like your uncle Lin Ruhai who lives far away in Yangzhou, he only had one daughter, Daiyu, for all these years, and he raised her as if she were a son.
Your aunt is pregnant again, but her health is not very good. I don’t know if she can give birth to a son for the Lin family.
I had a good relationship with your aunt when she was at home. I was worried that she had not been able to leave any descendants for the Lin family after so many years of marriage.
But your aunt was in good health when she was at home, so I think the problem lies with your uncle.
He is a weak scholar, so he should be unable to do some things. Shuanbao, although you are young, you are studying medicine, so I will not avoid telling you some things.
See if you can make some kidney-tonifying and yang-strengthening pills for your uncle and mail them to him, so that he can give birth to a healthy child."
In order to get Jia Cheng to make the aphrodisiac for the Medicine King, Jia She really talked nonsense.
When Jia Min was in the boudoir, she had the best relationship with Jia Zheng because they were both raised by Grandmother Jia.
The relationship between Jia Min and Jia She is average. After all, the two rarely meet and have no common language.
However, Jia Min and Zhang had a good relationship. Both of them were ladies from prominent families and could get along well with each other.
Long ago, Jia She didn't care whether Lin Ruhai and Jia Min had a son or not. It was better if they didn't have a son.
But now, in order to regain his masculine power, Jia She had to bring out Lin Ruhai and pretend that he and Jia Min had a particularly good relationship as husband and wife.
Because Jia She knew that Jia Cheng was the most filial to him, and if he showed his concern for Jia Min and her husband's childlessness, Jia Cheng would definitely do his best to help.
Jia She felt that he had tricked his son and felt a little guilty. He planned to go to his private storehouse to find some good things to send to his precious son.
Although his son, the divine beast, might not necessarily appreciate these mundane things, Jia She didn't know what else he could do besides giving money and companionship.
Jia Cheng pretended to be successfully tricked, and said with high morale: "Master, don't worry, I will solve the problem of aunt and uncle.
I have a prescription here. After taking it, a man will be full of energy and have divine help.
If this is the only medicine, it may not be able to solve the problem of my aunt and uncle getting pregnant and having children.
I still have medicine that helps pregnancy, which can help Aunt and Uncle have a son, but the prescription is incomplete now, Master, please give me some time."
After hearing this, Jia She happily picked up Jia Cheng and said, "Oh, my good son, that's great. There's no rush for the pregnancy-enhancing medicine. Let your uncle take care of his health first."
The beads on Jia She's abacus hit Jia Cheng's face, but Jia Cheng didn't care, because he was the one who guided every step anyway.
It’s time to establish his image as a friend to men and a fertility-delivering boy.
The system watched the performance of this father and son with great interest. Jia She was just a younger brother in front of Jia Cheng.
After a while, Jia She brought Jia Cheng two land deeds, one for a hot spring resort on the outskirts of the city, and the other for a prosperous shop on the street.
The system gave Jia Cheng a thumbs up. It was great, really great. Jia Cheng did not pay anything, but just relied on his mouth to make Jia She give him 50,000 taels of silver notes and two land deeds.
Jia She has given so much, but he still feels that his son is filial and wants to give him more.
