Chapter 184: Backer
Jia's mother was about to take Shi Xiangyun and Jia Cong out. Who would have thought that all the major palaces in the capital would send people to deliver the things they lost in yesterday's bet.
For a while, there was a commotion in Jia Mu's room. Before she could get up, a little girl outside said that someone wanted to see her... Jia Mu was overwhelmed with things to do, and her face became stiff with laughter.
All the young masters and ladies of the Jia family are also very confused: today is extremely unusual. Firstly, it is not Jia Mu’s birthday, and secondly, it is not the New Year. What is the purpose of sending people to send things to these families, not to mention these items?
All children are of great value.
What kind of fuss is this?
The young ladies and young men of the Jia family had to help receive the visitors, and they were very busy for a while.
When Shi Xiangyun took a moment and quietly told everyone about Jia Cong's winning bet yesterday, everyone realized that everyone looked at Jia Cong in a slightly different way: they were both admiring and amused.
I'm afraid only Jia Cong, a "living treasure", can come up with this idea!
After being busy for a long time, there was still an endless stream of famous and wealthy families in the capital. Everyone looked at Jia Cong with even more admiration: How many people did this kid bet with to "cheat" so many things?
Shi Xiangyun thought about the situation yesterday when Jia Cong couldn't help but solicit ginseng bets, and he couldn't stop laughing, and he truly admired this young master in his heart.
Everyone has been busy for nearly an hour, and now fewer and fewer people have come. However, there are "trophies" as high as a hill piled up in Jia Mu's house. Although these young ladies and young masters are not inexperienced, they can see it at a glance.
I was surprised to see so many good things. Moreover, the things Jia Cong won were calligraphy, paintings, antiques and the like, which were more to everyone's taste, so they couldn't help but gather around to look at this one and touch that one.
, I was always greedy.
When Mother Jia saw her precious grandchildren being so greedy, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at the one who made you greedy. These things belong to Brother Cong. Don't let him tamper with them. Be careful that you can't afford the compensation!"
"
When Jia Cong heard that there was something in the old lady's words, he quickly smiled and said: "Grandma, these are all yours. If you don't want to let others touch them, just say so. Don't use me as a cover!"
When Jia Mu heard this, she laughed and said: "Nonsense, you obviously won this yesterday, what does it have to do with me?"
Jia Cong smiled quickly and replied: "Old lady, you are pretending to be confused because you understand. Do you have to ask me to tell you the truth?"
After hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and said, "I really don't understand. Can you tell me?"
Everyone was surrounding the pile of calligraphy, painting and curios when suddenly they heard the old man and the young man confront each other again. They all turned around and asked with a smile: "What on earth is going on? We don't know whether you two understand it or not. We just know."
We really don’t understand.”
This was said like a tongue twister. After everyone finished speaking, I couldn't help but laugh.
Jia Cong laughed and said: "The old lady is using me to hold the vat, please be careful and don't damage her old lady's things!"
Jia Mu was even more happy after hearing this. She pushed Yuanyang and said with a smile: "Yuanyang, go and hit him twice. He just talks nonsense and makes me angry."
After hearing this, Yuanyang smiled and said: "Old lady, I heard that he didn't say anything wrong. What's the point of beating him properly? If the old lady doesn't understand, at least give him a chance to explain."
After hearing Yuanyang's words, Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Yuanyang is right, I will tell you the reasons and let everyone comment."
Everyone smiled and nodded: "Okay, you say."
Jia Cong then smiled and said: "Yesterday the old lady asked me to accompany her to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing. I made a bet with others there, and I won all these things by luck. I thought everyone was just joking, but who knew that today it turned out to be true?
I just brought something here. Don’t you think this is for our ancestors?”
After hearing this, everyone shook their heads deliberately and said: "Since you won, it is naturally yours. How can you say it belongs to the old lady?"
When Jia Cong heard this, he said anxiously: "Are you pretending to be stupid on purpose, or are you trying to make me angry?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw Jia Cong's little face turned red from suppressing the pain, stretching his neck and shouting: "Of course I really don't understand the reason, okay, who is pretending to be stupid?"
Jia Cong then shouted: "You are so angry with me, why can't you understand such a simple thing? First, although everyone lost, if our ancestors hadn't been sitting there, everyone would have bought the ancestors' account.
Who is willing to obediently send these good things? Secondly, the old lady is my supporter. I am lucky to win this time. If I lose, the old lady will have to pay for these many good things. Therefore, I
All the things I win naturally belong to the old lady. There is no reason why if I win, it belongs to me, and if I lose, it belongs to the old lady?!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this and said, "You wish you had said so earlier. We understand now that this thing should really be given to the old lady."
Is there any reason for Mother Jia to be displeased when she heard what Jia Cong said? She secretly praised Jia Cong as a child who knew clearly, behaved appropriately and generously, and was indeed a good young man who could revitalize the family.
Thinking this in her heart, the more the old lady looked at Jia Cong, the more she fell in love with him. Just when she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the door curtain fall and someone ran in in a hurry. When she looked carefully, it was Wang Xifeng.
I saw that her head and face were not combed or washed, her little face was yellow and she had not applied any powder, and she had a look of panic on her face.
Everyone was very surprised to see Sister Feng like this: With her talent and courage, what could possibly happen to panic her like this?
Everyone was shocked. Mother Jia was also startled by Wang Xifeng's behavior, and she quickly asked: "Girl Feng, what's wrong with you, why are you so flustered?"
Wang Xifeng heard the question and hurriedly knelt down in front of Jia Mu, hugged her legs and cried: "Old lady, this is terrible. I'm afraid Second Master Lian is useless. He started to have a fever and talk nonsense since last night."
, I haven’t woken up yet…”
As she spoke, she burst into tears, which shocked everyone.
Mother Jia's face turned pale with shock. She quickly grabbed Sister Feng and asked, "Seriously? How come it's so good that it doesn't work? What's going on!"
Sister Feng cried loudly when she heard this: "It was Brother Zhen's birthday that day. He drank two more drinks in the past. When he came home, he was covered in injuries. He said he fell into the pond. He fell ill that night. Now he is not only
It’s not getting better, but it’s getting worse…”
Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this, and they all said strangely: "It's summer, so it's not like falling into a pond. Besides, he's such an adult, so he can't be frightened..."
Everyone was talking here, but Jia Cong was thinking to himself: Why is Jia Lian so weak? He can't bear the trouble at all? If he had known that his body was so weak, he should have been merciful that day...
He was lowering his head and thinking wildly when he heard Wang Xifeng cry loudly: "Old lady, I don't know what happened that night. I also asked the boys to ask, and they all said that Brother Cong was with him that night...
…”
