Chapter 282 Jia Shi Gets Dealt With
Xie Xiu's purchase of Chen's forest soon aroused heated discussion among many people.
Even Jiang Er, upon hearing the news, couldn't help but run to Xie's house and ask him, "Brother Keji, how did you buy that piece of forest?"
He looked at Xie Xiu with a very conflicted look, as if he was puzzled as to why the person in front of him had suddenly become the victim.
Xie Xiu was speechless when he looked at him.
But he smiled bitterly and said, "You also know the situation of my family. Although I took back the property of the Luo family, I was focused on the imperial examination and was not good at business.
Keeping that money in my hands would be a curse, not a blessing. Better to spend it than have it be remembered.
That piece of forest has not yet matured into timber, so many people look down on it. Isn't that just right for me?
Others look down on them, so they won't target me for them.
What's more, it is only with the grace of Your Majesty that I can continue to take the imperial examination without being implicated by my biological father.
Naturally, we should be grateful and do our utmost to help Your Majesty."
After hearing this, Jiang Er couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Since you are worried that someone is coveting the Luo family's property, why didn't you tell me? Let me help you? Don't you ever consider me a friend?"
Xie Xiu quickly said, "If I didn't consider you a friend, why would I tell you all this?
But I am a man after all, and much older than you. I can't take advantage of you for being a righteous person and ask you for help in everything.
I always have to solve the problem myself first, and when I am unable to do anything, I will ask you to help me."
Jiang Er found these words particularly pleasing to the ear, and proudly puffed out his chest, patted his chest and said, "You are right, I have always been a righteous person!
If a friend is in trouble, I will definitely help him if I can, and I will never refuse! "
After a pause, he continued, "But one hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. If you take out so much at once, what will you do in the future?
How about this, I... I'll pool some money together, and then find a few friends and ask them to pool some as well, and then... just consider it as buying it from you!
Since we are good brothers, we should share happiness and difficulties together. How can I let you suffer alone?"
Xie Xiu quickly refused, "That's not necessary. I bought that forest just to have peace of mind. How could I possibly embarrass you friends?"
No matter how Jiang Er tried to persuade him, Xie Xiu refused to agree, and he spoke in a very nice way, which made Jiang Er not only not feel angry, but also felt that Xie Xiu was thinking about him everywhere, and he was really a good brother!
If he wasn't afraid of getting beaten when he got back, he would have wanted to make Xie Xiu his brother and acknowledge him as his elder brother!
After leaving Xie's house, Jiang Er went straight into the palace and praised Xie Xiu in front of Concubine Jiang.
"Sister, this Xie Xiu is such a wonderful person! Not only does he speak well, but he's also very capable! He's so sincere! I told him I wanted to help him, but he refused to let me spend any money, as if he was afraid it would be difficult for me."
Concubine Jiang couldn't help but think of Xie Ying, so she smiled and said, "This man is indeed good. Not only is he a filial son, but he also behaves in a measured way. You can make friends with him."
She is a woman and has just adopted a son, so naturally she prefers children who are filial to their mother.
Moreover, Xie Xiu also passed the imperial examination. If Jiang Er could be influenced by him, then why would she need to worry about her younger brother?
Concubine Jiang felt that her brother was actually very smart, but he just didn't want to use his intelligence in the right way.
Otherwise, he would not have passed the imperial examination this time.
Although he was ranked last, he was on the list after all, and he was still very young.
Concubine Jiang looked at her brother, who was beaming with joy, and suddenly asked, "Do you have a woman you like? At your age, you should get married."
I don't expect you to pass the imperial examination this spring, but you still have to get married and have children, right?"
Jiang Er felt overwhelmed when he heard this and quickly found an excuse to slip away.
Get married and have children?
He is still so young, he doesn't want to marry a woman to take care of him. He can't hit or scold her, it will only shorten his life!
Look how miserable big brother is now?
He doesn't want to follow in his elder brother's footsteps!
When Concubine Jiang saw him running away, she raised her eyebrows in anger and suddenly asked the maidservant beside her: "Tell me, is that person making trouble again?"
The maid knew she was talking about Jia, and whispered, "There hasn't been any trouble lately. It's just that a few days ago, because Jia Sheng was sent to the Black Kirin Guard prison and poisoned there, he had a very unpleasant argument with the eldest master, and he still hasn't given in."
"Oh!" Imperial Concubine Jiang sneered in anger, "She's so arrogant! She doesn't even realize what she is. Just because she gave birth to a son and a daughter, she dares to bully my brother and act like a tyrant at home!"
After a pause, she continued, "Isn't she worried about her brother? Send her my copy of the Ksitigarbha Sutra and ask her to bathe and burn incense every day, copy it carefully, and pray for her brother.
If she is willing, she should copy carefully every day, instead of using this as an excuse to make trouble at home all day long!
I want to see how sincere she is towards her brother Jia Sheng!"
"The slaves obey."
The palace maid quickly took the order and left.
Jiang family.
Jia looked at the palace maid in front of her and was filled with anger.
She clenched her palms tightly, but she didn't dare to lash out. It wasn't until she left the scripture behind that she was so angry that she hugged her nurse and burst into tears: "She's clearly humiliating me!"
Her nurse could only try to calm her down while whispering, "After all, she has a prince now, things are different now.
Miss, please don't be so stubborn. After all, you can't twist a strong man with an elbow. If you really offend that person, you will be the one who suffers."
Jia sneered, "The little prince was born sickly. Who knows how long he can live?"
When she said this, the nanny's face changed drastically. She quickly covered her mouth and turned her head to look around, fearing that someone would hear it.
Fortunately, Jia didn't want to embarrass herself in front of the maid, so she sent the maid away before crying. Now there were only the two of them left in the room.
The nurse finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jia disapprovingly: "My lady, these are fatal words. Please don't say them again! If they get to the ears of that person, how can I tolerate you?"
Jia frowned in displeasure, but she also knew how deadly her words were, so she agreed: "I understand, I was just angry at the moment, so I talked to the nurse.
How could she bully others like this? It was clearly her who implicated my eldest brother, causing him to suffer and almost lose his life.
Now she deliberately sent me the Ksitigarbha Sutra and forced me to copy it! Am I just going to let her bully me?
