Chapter 132 Not a member of the Jia family yet, no way.
Even if Prince Teng hadn't died of illness on his way back to the capital, he probably wouldn't have helped the Jia family; he would have just tried to get his sister and niece out of trouble.
When they mentioned it to Jia Hu privately, Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan were also curious about what Jia Hu thought.
After hearing Jia Hu's words, Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan understood that this was the optimal solution, and it seemed that only Wang Ziteng was capable of it.
Jia Daihua looked at Jia Hu, whose little face was scrunched up, and thought it was cute. How could he and his brother not be prepared? As Hu'er said, the Jia family had controlled the Beijing Garrison for decades, how could they not have a backup plan?
They are living well now and watching their grandchildren, who are all clearly capable. How could they possibly know that Wang Ziteng might betray their family in the future, and let him get away with it so easily? This is something they left for their grandchildren.
The situation is different now. However, his own son, Jing'er, has no interest in this path, and neither of his two nephews are capable. So, he can only let Wang Ziteng take the place, which also gives his grandsons time to grow up.
None of these things were explicitly stated, but Wang was very happy. Her brother was successful, which clearly indicated that the intention was for him to take over the family business. This would give her face in her own family, and she would have more confidence in her husband's family after her brother took over.
Recently, Wang Shi felt that everything was fine, and even Jia Zheng was no longer so angry when he sometimes went to his aunt's place.
Now that her family is powerful and she has a son who is well-educated, she will be the daughter of a noble concubine in the future. It would be beneath her to compete with those vixens. In the future, those vixens will also need to curry favor with her and live under her control.
Jia Zheng only visited occasionally out of youthful affection. The tutor arranged for him by the Zhang family was very capable, and Jia Zheng was busy with his studies every day, gaining a lot and his whole demeanor changed.
Lady Wang no longer felt sour, and instead became much closer to Jia Zheng.
Before they knew it, it was April. Only Jia Hu remained, preoccupied with Wang Ziteng's matter. Once again, during a meal, he sighed as he ate.
[Sigh! It's all because of the Jia family, they're so useless, so utterly useless! It makes me so angry!]
Jia She and Jia Zheng put down their chopsticks. Can't we just eat properly? The first time they heard this, the three of them, including Jia Jing, lowered their heads as if they wanted to bury their heads in the ground. But now, how many times has it happened? Why hasn't Hu'er moved on yet?
Seeing their expressions, Jia Daishan glared at them and said, "You two are really putting this on display. Why don't you write this down and hang it in their bedroom so they can see it every day?"
After glaring at his two sons, Jia Daishan looked at his eldest grandson with some concern. "Has my dear grandson been bored lately? He doesn't seem very happy."
The other two little ones, oblivious to everything, were eating their meals, thinking that nothing mattered more than their rice, and that their grandfather (great-uncle) wouldn't glare at them anyway.
Jia Daishan looked at Jia Hu with concern.
"Hu'er, have you been feeling bored lately?"
Jia Hu looked up, bewildered.
"Grandfather, no, I'm very busy every day."
What's wrong with me? I haven't done anything wrong lately; I've just been obedient and well-behaved.
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"It's good that you're alright. I was thinking if you're bored, I have a day off tomorrow, so I can take you guys out to play."
"Grandfather (great-grandfather)! Really!"
Before Jia Hu could even speak, Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen were already bursting with excitement, shouting, "Let's go out and play! Let's go out and play!"
Jia Hu looked at his grandfather with excitement. If his grandfather could go out and play, who would stay at home?
Jia Daishan smiled and pointed with his hand. The others said, "You get so excited just from talking about going out to play."
Jia Hu said coquettishly:
“Grandfather can go out every day, so of course he wouldn’t understand us.”
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"Okay, okay, let's do it tomorrow. You guys have the day off tomorrow, so we can go and check out some of your shops."
If his grandfather hadn't mentioned it, Jia Hu wouldn't have discovered it yet. It's already April, and he still hasn't received his dividends.
Not only the hot pot restaurant and the toy store didn't have it, but he also didn't get the profit share that the emperor had promised.
Now I know that this silver mirror is incredibly popular. Every noblewoman in the capital owns one, and the supply can't keep up with the demand. The Emperor himself sent it to my home. So, is this my reward?
As soon as Jia Hu thought about it, he immediately looked at his father. What was going on? He couldn't tell the Emperor himself, but his father was right here.
Looking at his son's suspicious eyes, Jia She wanted to cry out that he was wronged. He told heaven and earth that opening a shop was really not that easy.
I was so busy that I forgot to check the accounts. Even if I had the guts of a leopard, I wouldn't dare to embezzle my son's money, otherwise my father would kick me out of the house.
Jia She quickly expressed his opinion.
"I'm too busy. I haven't checked the accounts yet. I'll do the math tomorrow. Not a single penny will be missing."
Jia Hu withdrew her accusing gaze and smiled sweetly.
"Okay, I trust Dad."
After Jia Hu finished speaking, he looked at his grandfather with a wronged expression.
“Grandfather, has the Emperor forgotten, or is that silver mirror a benefit to me?”
Seeing his grandson's pitiful expression, Jia Daishan couldn't bear it and immediately replied:
"It's alright, Grandfather will go to the palace to see the Emperor soon."
Jia Hu simply thought that he should just whine to his grandfather and not go to the Emperor.
"No, no, no! Grandfather, I was just saying. Please don't go to the Emperor. The Emperor's word is law, he certainly wouldn't be greedy. As for my money, I'll go and give it to my godfather, the Crown Prince, in a letter later."
If you don't use your power, it will expire. Even the crown prince's godfather has to use it and keep in touch.
Jia Daishan looked at his grandson's sly smile, shook his head with a smile, and said no more about it.
At this moment, Jia Daishan's personal guard came in and whispered something in Jia Daishan's ear.
Jia She and the others thought their father was busy, so they decided not to keep him from leaving.
After hearing this, Jia Daishan smiled and asked everyone to sit down, and then gave a few instructions to the guards.
Everyone arrived together and sat down in the hall, all looking at Jia Daishan with some curiosity.
Jia Daishan just smiled, keeping everyone in suspense, and didn't say anything.
Several guards carried two boxes in, put them down, and then left.
Jia Daishan smiled and said:
"Hu'er, go open it and take a look."
Jia Hu was surprised, but he obediently stood up and went to open the box. The lid was quite heavy, and Jia Hu used a lot of strength to open it.
Upon opening it, Jia Hu was stunned, his mind resounding with awe.
【My God! What is this?!】
The others were also incredibly surprised when they saw what was inside the box; it was filled with gold.
