Chapter 56: The storm is about to rise and honors and nobles gather.(1/2)

 The next morning.

Jia Cong finished washing.

Xiao Cui'er learned from Xiao Cui'er that Jia's mother fell ill in the middle of the night last night and Jia Zheng was busy all night long.

Xiao Cui'er said gloomily: "Third Master, I and you didn't go to see the old lady last night, and the people in Rongqing Hall were talking about it."

Jia Cong smiled lightly and said: "The more the old lady feels uncomfortable, our second master will naturally be more active!"

"Otherwise, how can he appear to be filial and polite?"

Xiao Cui'er curled her lips: "Obviously Rongqingtang didn't send anyone over to inform us last night!"

Jia Cong habitually messed up her double-ringed bun and said with a smile: "Never mind them, talk or not!"

"Yes, you can tell Mother Feng later that I won't have breakfast at home today."

"I have to go to the study to see dad. I'll eat there."

While adjusting her double-ringed bun, Xiao Cui'er smiled and said, "I know, Third Master."

Although Qi Youlu said that Jia She was not sick, he was still worried about it.

Unless you see with your own eyes that cheap guy of yours is as lively as usual, fighting against the sky, the earth, and the air.

Only then can he truly feel at ease.

Qi Youlu went to Xishan Village early in the morning to exchange for Jia Le. He took Jia An across the study courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Jia She standing in the courtyard, moving his hands and feet in a refreshing mood.

Jia Cong was overjoyed and rushed over to hold Jia She's arm: "Daddy, daddy, daddy!"

"You feel much better!"

Jia She chuckled and said: "But I'm a little tired in vain. It won't be better if I take a nap."

Seeing that it was Jia An following Jia Cong, he asked, "Where is Youlu? Are you going to Zhuangzi?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Well, Brother Youlu came over early in the morning."

Jia She then ordered someone to prepare the meal: "We ate earlier, and today we have to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to get the IOU."

Jia Cong asked while eating: "The old lady was sick last night. Does dad know?"

Jia She took a sip of bijing rice porridge and chuckled: "Can your father know something that even a brat like you knows?"

Jia Cong asked curiously: "Then why don't you go over and take a look?"

Jia She said calmly: "What should I do? Go and dig through your grandmother's private treasury?"

"How about just sending your grandmother away in a rage?"

Jia Cong chuckled: "Dad, don't learn how to speak like me!"

Jia She tapped him lightly on the forehead and said with a smile: "I don't know where you learned these weird words from!"

For a while, the father and son finished their meal and prepared a car to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Hube main hall.

Jia She reached out and asked Song Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, for an IOU.

Song Yuan handed all the IOUs from Rongguo Mansion with big seals to Jia She: "Count them yourself."

Jia She looked through the signatures and loan dates on the IOUs one by one, and his face became increasingly ugly.

Jia Cong quietly pulled Jia She's sleeve and asked softly: "What's wrong with dad?"

Jia She counted out the IOU amounting to 300,000 taels and put it away.

He lowered his head and said to Jia Cong: "Don't ask, I'll tell you when I get home."

Song Yuan joked and patted the stack of IOUs: "There are still 700,000 taels of IOUs here."

"Enhou, when do you plan to pay it back?"

Jia She smiled at Song Yuan and said, "Don't worry, I'll get you some more money tomorrow!"

"By the way, I'll treat you to dinner with that jerk Jiang Qina!"

Song Yuan staggered at his feet: "Enhou, you haven't copied enough from your own treasury?"

He winked at Jia She and said, "I was joking with you just now. Actually, there's no need to be so hasty..."

"It's better to wait a few more days..."

Song Yuan had a vague meaning, but it was hard to explain clearly.

Jia She pretended not to see it.

Gu Gu said cheerfully: "Your household bank account is almost the same as mine, and it can be used as a nest for rats."

"Is it wrong for me to pay you back the money?"

Song Yuan had nothing to do with Jia She, who was not stingy with the gang. He pushed him with both hands and shouted repeatedly: "That's right, that's right!"

"Leave quickly!"

"When I see you now, my whole body and head hurt!"

Jia She laughed loudly and left the household department with Jia Cong.

As soon as Jia She and his son left, the smile on Song Yuan's face gradually faded.

"Enhou, please take care of yourself..."

"I'm afraid that in a few days, you will be the one with pain all over your body and head..."

The gate of Rongguo Mansion at this time.

The luxurious carriages filled with nobles and dignitaries all lined up in a long queue.

Lai Da personally stood guard at the gate, looking in the direction of Ningrong Street, extremely anxious.

Finally, he saw Jia She's carriage approaching slowly, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet it.

"Sir, go to Rongxi Hall quickly!"

"Many distinguished friends have come, and I will accompany them in the main hall of Ronxi Hall!"

“I’ve called you to see the great master, please come quickly!”

Jia She got out of the car leisurely: "Who is this worthless person who deserves to be so panicked?"

As he spoke, he looked towards the neat row of carriage emblems.

"Oh, it's really complete!"

Jia She waved to Jia Cong.

"Cong'er, come."

"Daddy will teach you how to recognize these emblems, so that you won't encounter bad names on the road in the future."

Jia Cong saw that the emblems were different, so he quickly turned to look at his carriage.

Sure enough, there was a emblem, but he usually only regarded it as a decorative pattern and never paid attention to it.

Jia She pointed it out to Jia Cong one by one with a smile: "This prison ox emblem represents the town of Niu Niu Mansion."

"The emblem of Chaofeng belongs to the Liu Mansion of Duke Li."

"The emblem of Pulao belongs to the Duke of Qi State, Chen Mansion."

"This turtle-like one is actually a crocodile, representing the government of the country."

"This is Chi's kiss, which represents Xiuguo Gonghou's Mansion."

"The last one is Suanni, which represents the stone mansion of Lord Jian."

Jia Cong pointed to the emblem on his carriage and asked: "So this is our Qilin?"

"Where's Dongfu next door? What is it?"

Jia She smiled: "Dongfu is a Haechi."

Seeing Jia She and Jia Cong walking along, the carriage drivers at the prince's palaces all got out of their carriages and stood with their hands down.

Only Lai Da, who was following Jia She and Jia Cong, was impatient and anxious, rubbing his hands together and not daring to speak to urge him.

After Jia She gave a detailed introduction to Jia Cong, he turned around and walked towards Rongxi Hall.

Lai's big eyebrows and beard are dancing wildly.

Thank God, the elder has finally returned home.

If it hadn't been for Jia She's crazy inventory check yesterday, he would have felt frightened.

He would not stand at the door of the house and blow the northwest wind.

Jia Cong walked and asked questions along the way.

"The six carriages just now, plus our two houses, is Hachigong?"
