Chapter Seven: The Cannibalistic Etiquette
Jia Cong called softly.
Jia Huan was momentarily taken aback, and then suddenly jumped up with a "bang," almost dropping the medicine for his injury, and exclaimed excitedly: "Why didn't I think of this? Teach me this divine technique! Hurry, hurry, hurry..."
Throughout the year, there is only one day when we pay respects to our ancestors and the day when the patriarch has a child. You can go and kowtow.
Jia Cong chuckled softly, remaining silent.
Therefore, he can only seek an alternative path
Then he said to Jia Huan: "Look carefully."
At that moment, the wooden door suddenly opened, and Jia Cong, bare-chested and pale-faced, stepped out. His tone was somewhat weak as he asked, "What is it?"
But he is not the Monkey King, and without Tang Seng to save him, he can only save himself
Regarding this cannibalistic ritual, since we cannot resist it, we cannot simply fear it either.
Speaking of which, he dutifully gave Jia Cong his medicine, and was much more serious than before.
Jia Cong lay on the wooden bed, while Jia Huan, with his unkempt hair, held a medicine bottle, sprinkling a little here and a little there
One must never sit idly by and wait for things to happen
It is a house built in a corner between two walls behind the rockery, not higher than the rockery itself
Generally, it is used to store miscellaneous items or accommodate valuable maidservants to serve the master at any time.
However, Jia Cong still stood upright...
Jia Huan exclaimed: "Isn't this too expensive? I only paid one coin in the South Alley!"
The master doesn't even personally hit you...
Relying on Jia She is not a viable option
After taking the copper coins, he walked to a small table on the side and placed the copper coins on the table.
What is the matter
What's the trick?
Jia Huan is not shy at all. After walking into the small ear room and sitting on the neatly made bed, he pretended to be generous and said.
Saying this, he no longer wished to deliver the medicine, took two steps back, and intended to flee
At this moment, the sky is already half dark. The courtyard of Jia Cong's ear room is originally surrounded by an artificial mountain and two walls, giving it a somewhat secluded and mysterious feeling.
A gust of night wind brushed by, somewhat desolate.
The term "ear room" typically refers to a small room located at the corner of two adjoining rooms.
Jia Cong couldn't handle this naughty child and helplessly said, "It's used for magic tricks, and I'll return it to you after the trick."
Although I was not born of a lady, the master treats me quite well
Jia Cong had no intention of scaring a mischievous child. He turned back to the room and lit a half-burnt candle. The dim yellow light squeezed out from the doorway.
However, given Jia Cong's circumstances, his residence in the eastern courtyard of the Jia Mansion could hardly be better.
He returned to the doorway, pointing at the shadow in front of the door, and said: "Do ghosts have shadows?"
Turning over my hands, there is not even a copper coin in them
Jia Cong's hand trembled slightly
However, based on his understanding, even if Jia She were to realize that he had been deceived and wronged an innocent person, he would never retract his punishment against him, thus slapping himself in the face
... ...
Without going to the main building, we went directly to the back of the rockery
Upon hearing this, Jia Cong recalled the headless monkey candy figure, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly as he said, "First apply the medicine for me, then I will tell you."
In a flurry of words, Jia Huan urgently said: "Jia Cong, quickly teach me this spell, as I still need to invite you as my guest tomorrow"
Jia Cong said lightly: "Do you want to learn the trick I just performed?"
After gasping for breath a few times, he quietly wiped away his tears, carrying the medicine bag and a small lantern, and entered the room while grumbling to himself
Heavens... Old... Man!
In fact, it originally all belonged to Jia Huan
This time, Jiahuan no longer dodged the issue and nodded his head like a soccer ball.
Jia Huan, please help me apply some medicine for my injuries.
Pavilions, terraces, towers, and pavilions, artificial hills, and flower gardens, as well as auxiliary corridors, are all complete.
Jia Huan was young and did not yet understand the deeper meaning behind this. He proudly said, "I still have several maids and servants to attend to me. I don't have to wash my own clothes or cook breakfast. Even though Xiao Jixiang is just a little maid, she knows how to wash my socks! You're just a lowly maid serving as a wet nurse. She doesn't take care of you and only bullies you because you're stupid! By the way, is it her who caused your injuries? Last time, she almost beat you to death!"
Ah!!
Jia Cong sighed softly and shook his head, saying, "In this case, you help me with the medicine, and I will perform a magic trick for you."
Otherwise, it's really hard to distinguish.
Whenever someone is absent, or if there is any misconduct, they will curse loudly.
Blinking his eyes, Jia Huan tiptoed and softly called out in the direction of the inner chamber: "Jia Cong?"
He is now being pressed under the Five-Finger Mountain.
He raised his voice and shouted again, "Jia Cong?"
Jia Huan sneered and said, "Bluffing!" His eyes rolled and he added, "If you're capable, show me by transforming into someone else first!"
Her mouth trembled and she couldn't speak, tears welled up in her eyes...
Jia Huan was angered by these words, and he retorted, "Of course I know how to do it. What don't I know? But why should I give you medicine? I'm not your servant!"
At this moment, the sky has already turned dusk.
There was no candle lit in the room. Suddenly, Jia Cong appeared out of nowhere, which almost scared Jia Huan to death...
Jia Cong didn't say anything. After opening the medicine package brought by Jia Huan, it was found that there were quite a few small medicine packages.
He was not surprised, and after opening the small bottle again, he sniffed it, nodded slightly, and it was fine.
Jia Cong, why don't you explain to the master what's going on? It's obvious that Jin Rong is slandering us.
However, before Jia Huan could even open his eyes wide in response, he casually swept his hand over the table, and the two copper coins appeared again on the surface.
Can go to study, and also go out for a walk, and look for some opportunities.
Passing by the artificial mountain, I arrived at the small courtyard in front of Jia Cong's ear room. It was quiet and tranquil. Jia Huan felt a bit nervous, and faintly could still see a few large footprints and some specks of red...
Jia Cong, do you... do you not care?
Jia Cong was lying on the wooden bed and whispered, "On the first day of next month, it will be the birthday of the master. He will turn fifty this year and will celebrate it grandly. He will also invite the old lady and others to come and watch the show and drink. I hope you can do this and that."
Jia Huan did not ask Zhao Guoji to accompany him, but carried the medicine bag and a small lantern by himself.
Jia Huan, upon hearing this, looked at Jia Cong with suspicion, then fumbled in his pocket and took out a purse. He took out two copper coins and handed them to Jia Cong.
Jia Huan's eyes lit up and he said, "Can you breathe fire and swallow swords?"
Amidst the soft spoken words, Jia Cong's gaze remained fixed on the dimly lit corners beyond the reach of the flickering candlelight.
Jia Cong's face turned pale and he said.
Especially, Jia She terminated his right to continue studying at the ancestral school.
Jia Huan was asked this question, and his small body shivered, crying out, "Jia Cong, are you human or ghost? Are you dead or alive..."
Utilize !!
The expression on his face was vivid and exaggerated, as if he thought he had discovered a way to turn stones into gold...
Jia Cong said, "Okay, give me two copper coins."
He almost couldn't catch his breath, staring blankly at Jia Cong's pale face, not daring to move at all.
Nowadays, even going to school is prohibited, naturally, going out is also forbidden.
Jia Huan, with the mouth of an elder, chanted in a devout voice to praise the Virgin Mary, and uttered these three words.
Although the master is quite fierce during the day, he treats me and my mother very well at night.
Blood exhaustion, frankincense, borneol, hibiscus leaves, and so on.
Jia Huan suddenly exclaimed in fear and jumped up from the bed.
He often goes to sleep in my mother's room at night, so I see him every few days.
Jia Cong saw him, furrowed his brows lightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jia Cong finished sealing the other medicine packets and said to Jia Huan.
His nanny, always comes over to check on him.
Today, regardless of right or wrong, Jia Cong was thoroughly beaten up and finally woke up.
Speaking, he took off his outer garment and turned around...
After speaking, the flat hand slowly passed over a few surfaces without any visible movement, and the copper coins disappeared.
He muttered nervously, recalling that it was he who had asked Jia Cong to help with the gambling, feeling guilty, he said, "Jia Cong, this has nothing to do with me. It's all Jin Rong's fault, and his aunt's. If you want to find someone, go find them, but don't come looking for me. Tomorrow when I have money, I'll burn some paper money for you..."
Jia Cong sighed and said, "Jia Huan, if you want to learn that trick, it's fine, but I need you to do me a favor."
His activities in the Jia Mansion are limited to the ear chamber behind the artificial mountain.
Jia Cong said, "Nonsense, can it not hurt? Will you finally apply the medicine or not?"
Here, this is the medicine packet I got for you from my second sister-in-law.
It is right next to the edge of the Yimen, behind a small artificial hill, at a corner of the corridor through the mountain.
Jia Huan, however, quickly realized it himself. He sneered and continued to sprinkle "pepper" behind Jia Cong, saying, "Tell me, what has your son accomplished?"
He carefully identified that, except for a small bottle of ready-made, the rest are all medicinal herbs.
So we must learn to...
Jia Huan asked busily.
No one agreed.
Jia Huan stopped sobbing when he heard the words, looked carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief, coming back to his senses.
Jia Huan rode in a carriage, entered the black oil gate, and jumped off in front of the Yi gate.
And it's not over yet. Jia Cong's hands were trembling uncontrollably, but he didn't stop. With a determined look on his forehead, he brushed a few more times on both sides, and four more copper coins appeared...
Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "No, but it looks much better than that."
Jia Huan, although young, knows how to flatter. He hurriedly said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I will give you the medicine properly. Jia Cong, you are becoming smarter and even know how to take advantage!"
Extremely unpleasant, extremely hateful.
Jia Huan was interrupted, feeling a bit unhappy, and said, "What's the matter?"
Behind Jia Cong, there are several red and purple bruises crisscrossing, swollen to a height of about two fingers...
Jia Huan complained casually, but his attention was clearly focused on the four extra copper coins on the table.
However, it's no longer usable due to being too old and stale...
Jia Huan was taken aback and blurted out, "How did you know?"
No one has agreed yet.
And Jia Cong's ear room is even worse than those.
Jia Huan weakly asked, but as he looked at Jia Cong's calm face, he felt a slight chill in his heart.
If there is no action again, he will really be trapped and suffocated in this ear chamber.
Jiashen Courtyard was originally separated from the Rongguo Mansion's garden. It may not be as magnificent as the main building, but it is still quite exquisite.
Jia Cong naturally didn't believe this nonsense. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Could it be Jin Rong's aunt who went to look for Second Sister-in-law?"
Jia Huan, who is only five years old, looked at the scattered red marks on the ground and his face suddenly changed. He murmured, "Something bad happened. Could Jia Cong have been beaten to death?"
Appalling!
Thanks to the hospital where he worked in his previous life, which has been promoting the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, Jia Cong has gained some understanding of traditional Chinese medicine after working for several years.
After I take the medicine, the extra four yuan will belong to you.
Jia Huan.
Her eyes widened into round circles, and her small face was filled with a look of shock as she looked ahead.
Jia Cong heard the words, but remained silent.
