Chapter 377 Two Things About Lady Jia
The next day, it was not until dawn that Jia Cong walked out of You's courtyard with a refreshed look on his face.
Jia Cong had a very enjoyable second meal yesterday. Yu Shi was so grateful and moved that she used all her tricks, even some embarrassing tricks that Jia Cong mentioned before. As a result, Yu Shi was still unconscious and fell into a deep sleep until Jia Cong left.
When they returned to Ningzheng Hall, Qingwen was already yawning, while Xiaoque'er and Xiangling were still lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
"Why did the master come here so early?" Qingwen thought that Jia Cong slept in the Yuanyang Courtyard last night.
He hugged the little girl in his arms and bullied her for a while, and then separated her under Qingwen's shy gaze, "Master, I heard that you were very arrogant yesterday."
Qingwen was startled, and then she said nervously, "Master, it's not that I'm a shrew. It's just that the third young lady of the You family has no reason to come to find fault with me. I...I got angry and started arguing with her."
Rubbing Qingwen's cheek, Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal. However, you still have to pay attention to your sister-in-law's face in the future. However, as my maid can't be bullied by outsiders."
Seeing that Jia Cong was not angry, Qingwen felt relieved.
"Master, please sit down first. I'll go get you some hot water for you to wash up!" Qingwen walked out of the room briskly. Soon, she brought hot water and a towel to clean Jia Cong. She also asked Zhuan'er to get some food for Jia Cong to eat.
"Master, aren't you going on duty today?" Qingwen asked.
"I won't go there today. I'll go to the old lady in the West Mansion later, and then go to Sister Lin's house for a visit."
After finishing the meal, Jia Cong saw that Xiao Que'er and the other two were still sleeping soundly, so he asked Qingwen to take care of them at home and went to the Yuanyang Courtyard first.
"Why did you come here so early in the morning, Master? Have you had breakfast?"
"It has been used." Jia Cong walked in with a smile.
Mei'er hurriedly brought a teacup over to serve Jia Cong tea. Jia Cong chatted with Yuanyang in the hall for a while. "I'm going to the West Mansion to pay my respects to the old lady. Please come with me."
Yuanyang nodded in agreement, asked Mei'er and Xin'er to help her with her makeup, and then followed Jia Cong to the West Mansion.
…
"Grandson greets the old lady!" When entering the hall of Jia's mother's courtyard, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and Sanchun were talking to the old lady.
"Come and sit down. Did they say yesterday that you entered the palace?"
Jia Cong went straight forward and sat next to the old lady, while Yuanyang sat next to Li Wan and whispered to her.
"It seems that I have to come over more often to serve the old lady in the future. My two sisters-in-law and sisters are so filial. When the old lady distributes her private money in the future, won't I be left out?"
Jia Cong's words made the old lady laugh. Wang Xifeng on the side said, "Everyone knows that you, the great marquis, have a big business, and probably have hundreds of thousands of income every year. Moreover, if you get married in the future, I don't know how much property my two sisters will bring to the mansion. You are so rich, and you still come to our West Mansion to beg for money."
"Madam, we won't give it to him!" Wang Xifeng hugged the old lady's arm and said flatteringly, "You can give his share to Feng'er!"
The old lady laughed again, "You two monkeys, you only know how to stare at my little wealth."
"Old lady, I am saving some money to marry a wife. Otherwise, how can I give you more great-grandchildren in the future? Do you think you can only rely on Baoyu?"
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng's face turned slightly red, and her heart was beating fast. This buffalo grass guy was talking nonsense in front of the old lady.
"Don't worry, if you give birth to a great-grandson for my old lady, even if you can't support him, I can support a hundred of them!"
Jia Cong laughed loudly and said to Wang Xifeng, "Second sister-in-law, did you hear what the old lady said?"
On the surface, this was about money, but how could Feng Lazi not know what Jia Cong meant? However, if she could give birth to a child for this enemy, she would be willing to do so...
"His Majesty summoned you to the palace yesterday, but what happened?" asked Lady Jia.
"Don't worry, ancestor. It's the Tanguts in Fengzhou who are a little restless. I have already suggested that Niu Jizong lead the Southern Camp to guard the border, and His Majesty has already agreed."
Hearing this, Jia's mother finally felt relieved and said, "That's good!"
Now Jia Cong’s status is high enough, and she doesn’t want her grandson to continue taking risks.
"There are two reasons why I asked you to come here today!" The old lady said, holding Jia Cong's hand. "The first is Baoyu. Your academy is very well run, and Huan'er has made a lot of progress. However, Baoyu has never been so restricted. Recently, he has been forced by your second uncle to study in the clan school, and I miss him a little bit."
"I am also worried that he will damage his health, so I want to find some teachers and let him study in the mansion."
Jia Cong thought for a moment and said, "Although it breaks the rules, since the old lady asked, it's not a bad idea! But the old lady still needs to appease the second uncle. The second uncle has great expectations for the second brother Bao. It would not be good if he gets angry because of this matter! As for the teacher, if it is inconvenient for the old lady, the grandson can also help find a few knowledgeable ones."
"Don't worry about your second uncle. I will talk to him myself." The old lady said happily. As long as Jia Cong agreed, she would still be confident that she could control her own son.
"There is one more thing. A few days ago, the eldest wife came to me and said that she wanted to let Xing girl be your concubine. She said that you have already agreed. If so, then after this period of time, find a day and let the girl live with you."
"You only have Yuanyang to take care of you now. I think Xing is a well-behaved girl, so I can rest assured that she will serve you."
When everyone heard this, Wang Xifeng curled her lips slightly. There was another person around this enemy. Li Wan and Sanchun were a little surprised. That little sister wanted to marry her own brother as a concubine? I had never heard of it before. However, although she was a concubine, it was not an insult to the sister as her own brother.
As for Yuanyang, she still had a smile on her face. She had never thought of monopolizing Jia Cong. She didn't need to make the decision on such matters, nor did she need to think too much. As long as she did her duty and served the master , the master would not neglect her. Moreover, she was already very satisfied to be able to accompany Jia Cong.
"Madam did mention this before!" Jia Cong said helplessly, "But, if you become my concubine, it will delay my cousin a bit."
"What kind of delay is this?" The old lady said directly, "Our family background, even if she is a concubine, is not comparable to that of any small family. Besides, with your temper, will you treat that girl harshly for the sake of the first wife?"
