When Jia She heard this, he couldn't help but look up and down at his little son.
This kid really has an idea, no wonder he can do so much, but this matter is not that difficult.
Besides, my son went to be someone else's son, but I felt a little uncomfortable.
"I said you kid, you really want to be someone else's son? Isn't it wronging you to be my son?"
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the old guy was still interested. After observing carefully, he didn't look too angry.
He quickly said with a smile: "Master, I have wronged my son by saying this. Even if I go to Dongfu, wouldn't he be your son? I went to Dongfu not because of the family fortune, but because of the master of Ningguo Mansion. identity.
With his son's current status as a concubine, it would not be easy to marry a wealthy daughter, unless he was also a concubine. It will be different if I become the master of the East Mansion. When the time comes, I will be in charge of the East Mansion, and my second brother will be in charge of the West Mansion. Master, you will be the ancestor of Ning Rong's Second Mansion. "
The name of the ancestor of Ningrong's second house is still very attractive to Jia She.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled and scolded: "You kid, don't fool me here, but to be honest, this idea is really good, but there is one thing. If you want to realize it, it will be very difficult and almost impossible."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Master, I also know this. I want you to come forward as Uncle Jia Jing's lobbyist. As long as he relaxes, it will be easy. As for those tribesmen, I have asked Lian Er Brother helped me buy them off with money."
Jia She thought for a while and said: "You are not short of money. As long as you are generous, those tribesmen should have no problem. It's just that your uncle Jia Jing's place is not easy. I'm not sure, so I can only give it a try."
"Thank you very much, sir. As long as Uncle Jia Jing relaxes, I will visit him personally."
The father and son carefully sorted out the matter and made sure there were no omissions before finalizing the details.
Jia She suddenly said: "By the way, there is something I forgot to tell you. The Li family business was destroyed. Have you heard the news?"
Jia Cong asked with a puzzled look on his face: "The Li family business was destroyed? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
Jia She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jia Cong's confused look.
I am really afraid of having anything to do with this kid. The Li Family Trading Company is different from the Green Wolf Gang. The Green Wolf Gang belongs to the underground black force. If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. No one will say a word.
The Li family doesn't say what the forces behind it are. The identity of this serious businessman is protected by the law. The destruction of the Li family this time has a great impact.
"Perhaps you have just returned to the city and haven't heard yet. Just two nights ago, it was already noon the next day when he was discovered. Now the Shuntian Mansion, the Criminal Department, and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division are jointly cracking down. "
Jia Cong sighed: "It seems that the Li family is also doing many evil things and has made many enemies. I can't cure him. I didn't expect that someone actually took action to cure him. It can be regarded as helping me to relieve my bad temper."
"As long as it has nothing to do with you, I'll be relieved. I'm really afraid that you'll mess around without knowing the seriousness of the matter. I'd better try to do as little trouble as possible in the future."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir. After the matter in Dongfu is settled, I will go to Zhuangzi to stay for a while."
After bidding farewell to Jia She and returning home, Zhang Fu told himself again about the Li family business.
After returning to the back house, I took a cold bath. It was now July and August, the hottest time of the year.
There were four or five basins of crushed ice placed in the room, and the slightest bit of cold air came out, making the whole room very cool.
Lying on the bed, I didn't feel the heat at all, and I didn't want to go out again when I came inside.
Ping'er, Yanhong, and Xiangling all gathered in Jia Cong's room because it was so cool here.
Ping'er was leaning to one side, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, fanning it constantly. Yan Hong was lying on the other side, also holding a cattail leaf fan, fanning it for Jia Cong. Xiangling sat at the end of the bed, beating Jia Cong's hand. leg.
This picture is really like the treatment of a big boss. It’s great to have money.
"Third Master, it's really cool in this room, but it's too luxurious. We need dozens of taels of ice a day."
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Yan Hong smiled and said: "Sister Ping'er, we made these ourselves. The third master didn't let us sell them, so we can only use them ourselves. The cost is not very expensive, not as much as you said."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Now our soap has almost occupied the entire Shenjing City, and has taken away a lot of people's business. Plus the money we earned some time ago, it will be enough for a lifetime. One soap alone is enough to support us." Yes.
In a few years, when I get older and have my own status, it won't be too late to sell it, so as not to make everyone jealous and make trouble. "
Ping'er said: "There is some truth to what Third Master said. We should keep a low profile for a while. Some people in Rongguo Mansion have already talked about our family being very rich. I don't know how they knew it?"
Anyone who is smart can see this. He has a lot of money in his hands, but it is a bit unusual for these servants to talk about it.
Could it be that the good second aunt couldn't help the jealousy in her heart and wanted to add trouble to herself again?
"A half-discussion should be unintentional. If there are many people discussing it, it is someone deliberately spreading and provoking it. They are jealous of me making money and want to reach out to me."
Ping'er asked doubtfully: "The third master said that the second wife instigated others to do it?"
"That's right. Who else can be there besides her? But you don't have to worry. As long as I don't nod, no one can take away a tael of silver from us, not even the master or the old lady. I can honor them, but they don't You can grab it hard.
By the way, I taught you how to make popsicles, ice cream, etc. How are you doing? "
Yan Hong smiled and said: "Third Master, we have made several flavors of popsicles, and we have also made ice cream. We found someone to buy a cow that had just given birth to a calf, and we get milk every day. We also made some milk popsicles."
Xiangling said with a smile: "Third Master, I like to eat that ice cream the most. It's so delicious."
Seeing Xiang Ling's happy smile made me feel a lot better.
"If you like to eat, cook more, but don't eat too much at one time, otherwise you will get a stomachache."
Xiangling said happily: "Well, I know about Third Master."
Yan Hong said: "Third Master, if we sell these iced snacks you taught us to make, we will probably make a lot of money, right?"
Jia Cong nodded and said, "That's for sure. This thing is easier to sell than soap, because it's gone after you eat it, and you have to buy it again."
Ping'er said: "There are ice cream shops selling ice cream outside now, but the taste is average and not as delicious as the popsicles we make."
"Well, if you have time, you can research some more delicious ones and we will sell them in a few years. Make some fresh ice cream tomorrow. I will go to the old lady's place and let her try it too. taste."
Yan Hong said: "I understand, Third Master, I will send someone to get fresh milk early tomorrow morning and start making it. I won't delay your use."
Several people fell asleep while chatting.
The next morning, Jia Cong opened his eyes, gently took away Ping'er and Yanhong's arms, and sat up.
Seeing Xiang Ling lying on his lap, sleeping soundly, he picked her up and put her aside, and then quietly got out of bed.
Arriving at the martial arts training ground, the four people of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter had already arrived.
"Third Master, you are here."
"Well, let's get started."
The five of them practiced for a while and then started fighting.
These four girls take medicinal baths every day, and their physical fitness and strength have increased rapidly. After more than a year of hard training, they are already little masters, especially with richer practical experience.
After this battle, the fight was hearty.
"Third Master, please take us to Zhuangzi this time. We also want to participate in a special training and learn more."
Jia Cong originally wanted to take them there this time, so he naturally would not refuse and readily agreed.
"Okay, when I leave this time, I will take you with me. Then my master will also give you some guidance."
"Thank you, Third Master."
I went back and took a shower, had breakfast, and took a short rest.
Then she made ice cream with Yan Hong and others.
This time more than a hundred were made. Jia Cong took away twenty and asked Ping'er to send twenty to the East Road Courtyard. Except for the rest, each of them ate one, the rest were put away. In the small ice room.
When Jia Cong came to Jia Mu's place, only Daiyu, Sanchun and Baoyu were here.
There is also a basin of ice cubes in this room, which is cooler than other places.
It is impossible for people like Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun to have ice cubes. The cost is too high and ordinary people cannot afford it.
Jia Cong came to Jia Mu, bowed and saluted: "My grandson, please give my regards to the old lady."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "Get up. If you can't cool down in such a hot day, why would you come here?"
Jia Cong brought the food box over and said with a smile: "My grandson saw that the weather was too hot, so he bought some rare cold food and brought it to the old lady to try to relieve the heat."
Mother Jia said curiously: "What a rare thing it is. Take it out and let me see it. I have seen a lot of good things in my life, and there are not many that I haven't seen."
Jia Cong took out a small bowl and handed it to Jia Mu.
Jia Mu stretched out her hand to take it, and her hand suddenly shivered. It was so cold that she almost lost her grip, so she quickly used her other hand to hold it up.
"Brother Cong, why is it so cold? I'm afraid I can't enjoy it."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's very cold. Old lady, you can eat less. It's okay. Sister Yuanyang, please bring a small spoon and a few more."
"Okay, Third Master."
Jia Cong took out two more small bowls and gave one to Lin Daiyu and one to Xichun.
"Sister Lin, this is for you. Fourth sister, this is yours."
"Ah, it's so cold, brother Cong, what is this?"
"Sister Lin, this is called ice cream. It is made of milk and ice. Please try it if it tastes good."
Xichun licked it with her tongue and said in surprise: "Ah, it's so cool, so sweet, and delicious."
Jia Cong gave another one to Yingchun, one to Tanchun, and one to Baoyu. Several people looked at it curiously.
Jia Mu took the spoon that Yuanyang brought over, dug out a little, put it in her mouth, and tasted it.
He couldn't help but nodded and said, "This tastes really good, but it's a bit cold. You young people can eat it, but old ladies don't dare to eat too much."
Jia Cong took another one for Yuanyang, and then said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, I just squeezed this milk in the morning and processed it. The ice in it was cooled by boiling water before making it. The ice is there, feel free to eat it, just don’t eat too much.”
Jia Mu said with a smile: "You are so thoughtful, kid. It's really refreshing to have a bite on this hot day."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "As long as the old lady likes it. If you want to eat it in the future, just ask Sister Yuanyang to go to my place and ask Sister Ping'er to get it. I have made a small ice room over there. It can be kept for six or seven days. of."
Others also picked up their spoons and started eating, all praising it.
Lin Daiyu took a bite, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and she said happily: "Brother Cong, your ice cream is so delicious."
Yingchun smiled and said, "It's quite delicious."
Tanchun also said: "This ice cream is so delicious. It's refreshing and makes you feel good all over. Third brother, if you don't have to eat it in the future, you will definitely feel uncomfortable. Third brother, you have to be responsible."
In this era, rich people just get some iced sour plum soup, which is considered good. The iced food sold outside is just to get some crushed ice and add some sugar and stir it together, which is cool and slightly sweet.
I have never seen this kind of ice cream, let alone eaten it, and the taste is completely different.
No wonder these little guys are all smiling and praising the food.
"If you want to eat, go to brother's place. Brother can still take care of such a small amount of food, and so can you."
Tanchun said with a smile: "Thank you, third brother, but my sister is not welcome."
Xichun said: "Third brother, how much did you bring? I want to eat one more."
"I took twenty, which is enough for you to eat. Eat slowly, don't be too hasty, otherwise the cold will ruin your stomach, but it will cause diarrhea."
"Oh, brother Cong, don't you think it's disgusting? Everyone is eating."
When Jia Cong took a look, he saw several pairs of eyes staring at him with angry expressions on his face.
Realizing that he had made a mistake, he quickly apologized and said, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. Please forgive me. Come and have another one for each of us."
After saying that, each person divided one, and the rest were given to Yuanyang, so that the old lady could watch and divide them.
Jia Mu made an exception and ate one, which made Yuanyang worried. After a while, she felt relieved when she saw nothing happened.
Near noon, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan also came over. They each ate one and were full of praise.
We had a meal at Jia Mu's place at noon, talked for a while, and then went to take a nap in the inner room.
Everyone left and went back to their own houses, almost all having the habit of taking a nap.
Jia Cong followed Lin Daiyu to her room.
Lin Daiyu made a bowl of tea herself, served it to Jia Cong, and asked: "Brother Cong, the matter in Dongfu is over. Are you going to Zhuangzi again?"
Jia Cong took the teacup, smiled and said: "Sister Lin, I still have some things to deal with, and I have to stay at home for a while. If you are fine, go to my place more often. I'm older than you." It’s much cooler in Madam’s room.”
