Early the next morning, Jia Cong got up early, practiced Tai Chi twice, moved his body a little, and then began to practice the "Tiger Exercise" again, and again, and again. After practicing it a hundred times, he came out. Sweating profusely.
After practicing for more than an hour, today's practice just ended.
Under Yue Ya's service, they washed up and changed their clothes, and the two of them had breakfast together.
"Third Young Master, what did you do all day yesterday? Why did you come back so late?"
After Yue Ya cleared the table, she couldn't help but ask. This girl was just too curious.
"I went out with my master yesterday, so don't ask around about things outside. It won't be good for you if you know too much, and don't tell others about it."
"Oh, I understand, Third Young Master."
Seeing her unhappy look, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, took out a jade bracelet, took her little hand, and brought it up to her. This was specially brought back to her yesterday.
When the house was searched yesterday, there were a lot of jewelry, but they were not very good. Jia She didn't like it, so he kept it.
Jia Cong asked Yan Hong to pick two pieces, took the bracelet himself, and asked Yan Hong to keep the others.
Yue Ya suddenly became happy when she saw the bracelet on her hand. She touched it gently with her hand and asked, "Third Young Master, this bracelet is so beautiful. Do you really want to give it to me?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I've brought it all for you, how can I still fake it? Do you like Yue Ya?"
The little girl giggled happily and said, "Thank you, Third Young Master, I like it very much."
Seeing Yue Ya so happy made Jia Cong feel happy. For him, raising a little girl was like raising a daughter.
Jia Cong went to the Lai family compound alone. Zhang Fu and Tiezhu saw him and hurriedly greeted him.
"Third Master, you are here. At dawn, I have already sent people over to take away Grandma Lai and her family."
Jia Cong nodded. He didn't expect that the old guy Jia She could be so fast. No matter how fast it was, the Lai family's matter was over.
"Butler Zhang, you will arrange for someone to take down the plaque at the door later and replace it with Jia's house. Also, do we sell vegetable oil and caustic soda in our shop?"
Butler Zhang quickly agreed: "Third Master, I will arrange for someone to replace the door plaque soon. I don't know much about vegetable oil and caustic soda. I will go to the shop to have a look soon."
"If there are, ship some back. If not, let them find sources to purchase and increase this product."
Although Butler Zhang was a little confused and didn't know why he did this, he still agreed.
"Don't worry, Third Master, I will take care of this matter in a moment."
Jia Cong turned to Tiezhu and said, "Tiezhu, go get a car, then go to the warehouse to get two hundred taels of silver, and ask Wangcai to follow me to the Yamen."
"I know, Third Master, I'll do it right away."
After Tiezhu finished speaking, he called Wangcai first, and then went to pull the horse and hitch the cart.
Zhang Fu bowed and said: "Third Master, I have prepared tea in the lobby. Why don't you go have a cup of tea first and rest for a while? It will take some time for them to prepare the carriage."
"Okay, let's go sit for a while."
The two came to the lobby. Jia Cong sat at the main seat, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was actually good.
"This tea is okay."
Putting down the tea cup, he saw Zhang Fu standing carefully beside him. Thinking of the complicated environment of the Jia family, he felt the need to remind him a few words.
"Steward Zhang, since you have followed me, you will be mine from now on. You only need to obey my orders. Whether it is the Jia family, Rongguo Mansion, or Ningguo Mansion, if anyone makes unreasonable demands, , you can ignore it.”
Zhang Fu felt happy when he heard this. He was relieved to have a master. The biggest taboo of being a slave was that there were too many masters, and when the time came, they all came to offer their hands. He couldn't refuse at all. If anything happened, he would be the most unlucky.
"Now that I know Third Master, I will definitely help you take good care of this family."
Jia Cong nodded and continued: "Steward Zhang, you are a smart man and know how to do things. The masters of the Jia family who threaten me are Jia Lian and Jia Zhen, but they should not come to deal with me.
The most important thing you need to pay attention to is my second aunt Wang. She probably won't come in person. She will send some servants to take over the house. If that happens, you don't have to be polite and just call her out. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you. "
Zhang Fu responded respectfully, "With the Third Master's words, I will know what to do."
In this way, I feel more at ease, lest someone pick up my nest while I'm away.
At this time, Wangcai came in and shouted: "Third Master, the carriage is ready. When should we set off?"
"Let's go now."
Jia Cong said as he stood up and walked out of the lobby with Wangcai, got into the carriage, and drove away.
To be honest, the carriages of this era were not very comfortable to sit on. Firstly, the road conditions were not good, and secondly, there was no shock absorption and it was too bumpy.
When you have time, modify yourself a comfortable and luxurious super carriage and use it as your vehicle.
They were speechless all the way, and soon arrived at the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, handed in the greeting card, and found the general judge Fu Shi. This man has a good relationship with his second uncle Jia Zheng. He claims to be Jia Zheng's student. I don't know where the argument comes from.
Fu Shi was stunned for a moment when he saw Jia Cong, as if he was not familiar with him. He hesitated and asked, "I am the general judge here, Fu Shi. What do you call this brother?"
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "I have met Master Fu. I am Jia Cong. First-class general Jia She is my father."
Fu Shi suddenly realized that he was Jia She's youngest son. No wonder he came to see me with his greeting card. He didn't know why he came to me.
"It turns out to be Brother Cong. Sin, sin. I haven't seen him much before. Please don't be offended. I don't know why Brother Cong is here?"
Fu Shi is about thirty years old. He is dressed as a scholar. At first glance, he seems to be a man who likes to work hard. This does not hinder him. He is here to do things.
"Master Fu, it's nothing serious. I have a few contracts that need to be transferred to my name. Please help me handle them."
As he spoke, he pushed several contracts in front of Fu Shi.
When Fu Shi heard this, he immediately felt relieved. It was just a trivial matter. He thought it was a big deal. He reached out and took the contract over and flipped it over a few times. Good guy, these things are actually worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
At such a young age, he has such a fortune, and he is worthy of being a young master. Although he has little wealth, he cannot compare with others. It is really annoying to compare one person to another.
"Congratulations to Brother Shi for obtaining such a rich fortune. Please wait for a moment and we will handle it for Brother Shi soon."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "In this case, there is Mr. Lao Fu."
Soon Fu Shi completed the formalities, stamped the official seal, and handed the new contract to Jia Cong.
The trip went very smoothly, and after the two of them chatted for a while, Jia Cong said goodbye to Fu Shi and left the Shuntian Mansion Yamen.
