Chapter 144 Master, It's Not Good
But what Jia Yi didn't know was that since he came out of Fuguizhai, he had been secretly targeted by Jingjing's faction.
Now we are just waiting for the Jia family to take this batch of colored glaze out to sell, and then we can make another fortune!
"Father! I'm back!" Jia Yi excitedly came to Jia Fugui's study.
Jia Fugui stood up immediately upon hearing the voice and asked with concern: "Second Brother, did you bring Liuli back safely?"
Jia Yi nodded with a smile on his face: "They are all brought back safely! Now I have asked them to transport them to the warehouse safely! Don't worry, father, we will be able to make a fortune soon. Not only will we make back the 500,000 taels that eldest brother lost, but we will also be able to meet some dignitaries!"
Jia Fugui was delighted at first, but then he asked in confusion: "Getting acquainted with dignitaries? Do you have any good ideas, second brother?"
Jia Yi leaned close to Jia Fugui's ear and lowered his voice, "Father, you don't know. A few days ago, when I was drinking with the young master of the Shuncheng prefect's family, I heard him accidentally say that the birthday of the Emperor Dongcui is coming soon~"
Jia Fugui's eyes lit up and he laughed and patted Jia Yi on the shoulder.
"You really helped my father out of his urgent need! You heard the news, so you can go to Dongcui Country this time!"
By then, dignitaries from all countries will gather in the capital of Dongcui, and the colored glaze in his hands will be sold at a high price!
Jia Yi was waiting for his father to say this, and immediately responded with a smile: "Yes! Father, just wait for good news from your son at home!"
...
Within an hour, the news that the Second Master was going to Dongcui Kingdom to sell colored glaze spread throughout the Jia Mansion.
Jia Ren lay on the bed, listening to his personal servant's report with a grim face.
At this moment, he felt stars in his eyes. He didn't expect that his second brother really brought Liuli back intact!
That damn thief, why didn't he rob my second brother but rob him instead?
I'm so angry!
"Get out!" Jia Ren yelled at his personal servant, then turned his head away and sulked alone.
Second son, second son! Father’s heart and eyes are now filled with second son!
...
The days passed quickly, and Xiao Baozhu was busy every day. She was either planting potatoes in the space, or taking her father and Liu Kuqi to study greenhouse cultivation.
The Minister of Works also developed the curved plow when he was building straight roads.
Everyone first tried it out on the wasteland outside Beijing. Although the ground was still frozen, the curved plow was indeed convenient and light to use.
Xiao Heng decided to build a straight road to promote the curved plow throughout the country so that the people could use it during the spring plowing season.
"Father, Zhuzhu also wants to visit Dongcui Country. Father, please agree. The uncle will definitely take good care of Zhuzhu."
Xiao Heng was reviewing memorials to the emperor, and the little girl in his arms looked up at him with sparkling eyes.
He put down the brush in his hand and sighed helplessly.
These days the little girl has been muttering in his ears so much that his ears are almost covered with calluses!
For this reason, Xiao Heng secretly complained to Jiang Wanqing, hoping that she would take care of his little girl.
But Qing Er seemed to not understand what he said. Whenever she talked about her daughter going to Dongcui Country, she would either use the excuse of having a headache or try to change the subject...
"Father, Father~ Father is the best, just let Zhuzhu go~ I promise to listen to the Emperor's uncle and not run around or cause trouble~" The little girl hugged her father's arm and acted coquettishly.
But Xiao Heng couldn't stand his little girl acting coquettishly with him.
"Okay, okay! Little Ancestor, if you want to go, go ahead! You must listen to your uncle. Your father will talk to your mother and ask her to find a maid to take with you!"
Xiao Baozhu was afraid that her father would go back on his word, so she hugged his arm and said in a baby voice, "Father, tell mother now. Father is very busy, it would be bad if he forgets!"
Xiao Heng stared at the little girl for a moment, and finally gave in first.
Resigned to his fate, he raised his hand to pick up the intercom on the imperial desk.
"Qing'er, Qing'er! Calling Qing'er, please answer, I have something to tell you! Oh~"
Jiang Wanqing was concentrating on looking at the palace's account books. When she was so engrossed, she suddenly heard the emperor's voice coming from the intercom on her waist.
She calmly put down the account book and took off the walkie-talkie from her waist.
She cleared her throat first, then pressed a button and said seriously: "I got it! Your Majesty, please speak!"
"It's like this. I agree that Zhuzhu should go to Dongcui Kingdom with me. You send a palace maid to serve Zhuzhu on the way! Oh~"
A smile flashed across Jiang Wanqing's eyes. She knew that the emperor would not be able to resist the little girl's coquettishness and would definitely agree.
The emperor had secretly complained to her two days ago, saying that her little girl had become so sensible, and she would not let her suppress her childish nature anymore.
Her precious daughter can go wherever she wants, she just hopes that her little girl can broaden her horizons and become a happy and free person without being confined to the backyard to take care of her husband and children.
"Got it. Please step back." Jiang Wanqing said into the intercom and hung it around her waist again.
Xiao Heng looked at the little girl and poked her forehead with his hand: "Your mother agreed! Are you happy now?"
Xiao Baozhu clapped her chubby hands happily, her voice full of joy: "I'm happy~ Hehe~ Thank you, father and mother, Zhuzhu loves you~"
After saying this, Milk Ball blew a kiss to his father.
Xiao Heng's peach blossom eyes were full of smiles. He reached out and touched the tip of the little girl's nose before continuing to correct memorials.
...
Lantian City Fuguizhai
"The princess wrote to us, asking us to go to Dongcui Kingdom! Let others take care of this place!" After reading the letter in his hand, Ling Ling read it and ran to Wang Ba who was washing the wooden barrel.
"What? Go to Dongcui? Did the princess say who to hand this place over to? Although our store looks small, we make a lot of money every day!" A hint of hesitation appeared on Wang Baben's face.
Ling Lingyi shook his head: "The princess told us to make arrangements! Once we finish this job, we will head to Dongcui!"
"Okay! I'll listen to you!" Wang Baben put down the wooden barrel in his hand.
Thinking of the day when Jia Yi and Jia Ren were as arrogant as before and looked up at the sky, he became furious.
If he hadn't thought about getting the Jia family's glass back soon, he would have broken Jia Yi's nose!
...
At the Jia family, Jia Fugui stood at the door and watched the convoy led by Jia Yi disappear before he turned around and returned to the Jia Mansion.
He kept praying in his heart, hoping that Jia Yi could sell the colored glaze for a good price when he went to Dongcui this time.
Only in this way can he redeem the mortgaged shop as soon as possible.
Although the Jia family had earned a lot of money by doing bad things over the years, the loss of five hundred thousand taels was a huge blow to their vitality.
Jia Fugui took a fancy to Liuli's interests, gritted his teeth and mortgaged the shop to someone else, and agreed to return the money within one and a half months.
Second brother! Please don't let anything happen to you!
Three days passed in a flash, and Jia Yi was carried into the Jia Mansion in a coma.
"Master! Something bad has happened! The second young master was seriously injured and was carried back!" The housekeeper came running to report, panting.
Jia Fugui's eyes went dark and an ominous premonition slowly rose in his heart.
