Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 554: Happy to Get a Thousand Gold
Daiyu suddenly said: "Today's Wangcai report said that the official paid hundreds of thousands of silver to the Ministry of Household Affairs to repay debts. When did our family owe money to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"Hey, no matter what our family's affairs are, they are all old accounts." Jia Congyin told the story about the recovery of the shortfall today, "Look, this is the account receipt issued by the Ministry of Accounts today."

Daiyu took it and took a look at it and said: "Ning Mansion owes more than 29 taels, and Rong Mansion owes more than 34 taels. It's strange that Sister Feng is still talking about her child.

Ning Mansion is gone now, and you are the clan leader, so you can just pay it back for him. Could it be that our family also has to pay the debt from Xifu?

Now that the old lady of Xifu, the eldest master, and the second master are all here, it's not your turn to make the decision. "

When Jia Cong saw Daiyu's frowning look on her eyebrows, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If someone had told me a few years ago that one day I would be planning money matters, I wouldn't have believed it even to death. It shows the current situation." It is true to say that heroes are created.”

Now that Daiyu is the general manager of the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion, her status and status are different, and her responsibilities lie in it. It is hard for her to have such a big shortfall in her own hands. It would be shameful for the servants to see it. How can the mistress of the house throw money away like water? Throw it out?
Daiyu blushed, bit her lips and glared at Jia Cong angrily. She held the handkerchief in her hand and felt a little aggrieved, so she turned away and ignored him.

You bastard, it's not just for this family, but it's my fault, and you still come to make fun of me.

Ruyi took Daiyu's hand and said, "You are not allowed to bully me, that's what I mean too. Reason is reason, law is law. Our family has done the utmost of benevolence and selflessness by taking on the Ning Mansion's account. The Rong Mansion will pay it back." "

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "I love Qi'er more than I can love, so how could I bully her? Isn't it because His Majesty urged me to do so? I didn't have time to discuss with the old lady and the others what I had ordered last night.

Come, ask Wangcai to take these two bills to the old lady for review, and get back to me every cent of the money owed by Rong Mansion. "

Baochai pursed his lips and smiled and said: "Fortunately, last year, Cong'er, you ransacked the houses of those unruly slaves, and the officials of the Western Prefecture can now come up with the money. If it had been left in the past, it would have been to fight famine."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "So the ancients said that if a family has dissenting children, it will not ruin the family. This is what I don't care about for my uncle and my grandma doesn't love."

"Bah, Wang Po is selling melons and boasting about herself."

"If you say you're fat, you'll be out of breath."

"I've never seen anyone so shameless."

All the girls laughed and scolded.

Jia Cong smiled and shrugged, ignored them and went into Sister Feng's children's room, where he was pulled by the other girls again.

"What are you doing? Is the delivery room a place for a grown man like you to enter?" Ruyi spat.

Jia Cong was stunned: "Isn't this child born yet? It's still early." After saying that, he threw away everyone and walked forward with his head held high.

Daiyu looked at his back, stamped her feet, and whispered, "Has this bastard forgotten that Sister Feng is his sister-in-law?"

Baochai was speechless. He glanced around and said, "You guys..."

All the girls, wives, and mothers-in-law hurriedly knelt down and said, "Madam, don't worry, I didn't see anything."

Ruyi said: "Don't worry, people from the palace won't talk nonsense. Let's go in and have a look."

In the room, Sister Feng was enduring the pain of labor, moaning from time to time, her face turned pale, and her head was covered with sweat. Next to her, Ping'er, Feng'er, and seven or eight women, daughters-in-law, and maids were looking after her.

Seeing Jia Cong suddenly coming in, everyone was startled and rushed to greet him.

"Sister Feng, how do you feel?" Jia Cong sat on the bedside and held Sister Feng's hand.

Sister Feng panted and said: "Fortunately, get out quickly, this is not the place you came from, be careful and it's bad luck.

Also, the Xifu owed more than 600,000 silver to the Ministry of Household Affairs and asked him to pay it himself. In the past, the Ningfu owed the two families equally.

I have calculated that the officials of the Western Palace can still provide four to five million silver, which is just right. Don't show off and suffer a loss, our family has plenty of money to spend. "

Jia Cong laughed dumbly and said, "How long have you been worrying about money? I know it." After speaking, he turned to Po Wen and asked, "How many fingers is the cervix open?"

Na Wenpo didn't expect that the dignified Marquis Huan was still a "professional", so she hurriedly said: "Go back to the Marquis and open two fingers."

Jia Cong said: "It's still early. Ask someone to open the window and remove this quilt from me. The Dragon Boat Festival is over. Isn't it hot? Why are you covering yourself up? What's wrong?

Also, those of you who deliver babies must wash your hands with strong wine, and everything you use to deliver babies must be boiled in boiling water.

There are too many people in the room, so two or three are enough, while the rest wait outside. It's too hot in the room. Someone bring me an ice cream. "

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Jia Cong's serious distribution, and quickly looked at Ruyi and others.

Ruyi pulled Jia Cong aside and spat: "What are you giving random orders? Do you understand the matter of delivering babies? Get out quickly and don't cause trouble."

Jia Cong smiled bitterly. As a young man in the new era, he knew more common sense than the ancients. He said, "Don't worry, this is my...my sister's child. Am I going to harm him?"

"Bah, your sister is giving birth to a baby, what are you doing here?" Ruyi spat in a low voice.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Can't I come in and give you some technical guidance? Don't worry, I have some enlightenment from a god and I can teach myself without a teacher."

"You...are so angry with me." Ruyi stamped her feet. "You guys help Sister Feng up and walk slowly around the house to facilitate the delivery." Jia Cong ignored Ruyi and pointed at the women.

"Master Marquis... let's leave the matter of delivering the baby to Mrs. Wen in the palace. You are busy with important things." Ping'er couldn't stand it anymore and came over to persuade.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "This is a big deal."

After speaking, he glared, frowned, and scolded: "Are you deaf?"

The ladies were startled and hurriedly helped Sister Feng up.

"Cong'er..." Sister Feng was also surprised. She had never heard of a pregnant woman walking around.

Jia Cong went over to help her stand up and said, "Sister Feng, you still don't believe me? Just do as I say, it will be good for you."

"Okay, then I'll come down and take a walk." Sister Feng nodded.

"That's right. You two, please be careful." Jia Cong ordered, and then said: "Don't be afraid, you are in good health, and all the old ministers in the palace are here. I will keep watch outside, and you will definitely have a smooth delivery."

"Yes." Sister Feng smiled and nodded, feeling warm in her heart. Although she is in her twenties, this is her first child. People often say that the period of childbirth is the gate of hell. If you say you are not afraid, then you are. Fake.

Jia Cong led everyone out and sat in the next room.

Even though Jia Cong looked like his face was about to collapse, he was actually quite panicked.

Although everything is fine now, it can be limited to medical conditions. If there are problems such as umbilical cord around the neck, amniotic fluid embolism, massive bleeding, etc., there is no way to solve it in this era. No matter who is a time traveler, he can only do nothing.

Damn it, if you bring me here, you don't know how to give me a system, a golden finger, or anything like that. At least I can give you one or two life-saving things. It's not too much. Jia Cong cursed in his heart and was secretly worried.

After two lifetimes, this was his first time being a father, and he was even more panicked than his first time on the battlefield.

Baochai knew he was the deepest, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry Cong'er, the imperial doctor has seen her in the past few days and said that Sister Feng's mother's body is strong, her pulse is as smooth as a pearl, and there is no dull color. In addition, she has Wen Po, who has been in the palace for many years, and If you worship and watch, the mother and child will be safe.”

Jia Cong forced a smile and said, "Sister Bao said yes, I'm not worried."

Daiyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "He's still a general. It's rare to see many strange things. My daughter's family has to go through this test. Sister Feng is auspicious and everything is ready. There's nothing to worry about."

Jia Cong smiled bitterly and nodded, knowing that he couldn't explain it to them.

"If it's a peasant woman in the countryside who gives birth, I wouldn't worry at all. You little girls don't do much physical work on weekdays. You have beautiful bodies and delicate bodies, so how can you know how powerful you are?"

Ruyi said calmly: "Are we not as good as the peasant women in the mountains?"

Jia Cong said truthfully: "You may not be able to compete with me when it comes to having children."

"Bah." The three of them spat in unison with red faces.

"Forget it if you don't believe it. That's why I want you to take Bizi Decoction regularly. Giving birth at your age is very dangerous, and there is no first aid. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be an eternal regret?" Jia Cong sighed.

The three of them blushed immediately, but for the first time they did not sneer at Jia Cong because they felt the deep love in his words.

Seeing Baochai and Daiyu both looking over, Ruyi, as a grown-up woman, could only say shyly: "How long will it take to take it?"

Jia Cong teased: "Can't wait any longer?"

"Bah, what are we in a hurry for? It's not about the blood of your Jia family. The old lady over there asked about it several times when I went back. Everyone who asked was embarrassed," Daiyu spat.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's okay. Next time the old lady asks, just say it was my intention. When you are over twenty and your body bones have fully grown, it will be safe to conceive again."

Qingwen, Qianxue, Wanyan and others also covered their mouths and chuckled, saying that only Chuchan did not need to take the balm decoction. Based on their age, Qingwen and Qianxue would soon no longer need contraception.

It wasn't until evening that he suddenly heard a loud cry of a baby. Jia Cong was so anxious that he couldn't sit still. He suddenly jumped up from his chair and rushed out of the door.

"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, mother and son are safe, and they have won a daughter." A woman came over to announce the good news.

Jia Cong completely relaxed, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Congratulations on what I am doing. This is my niece. Go over there and tell the old lady the good news."

"Yes, yes." The woman wanted to slap herself twice, but instead of getting the reward, she felt uncomfortable.

Daiyu sneered from behind: "Let's go and see if our 'niece' looks like our uncle."

Jia Cong said calmly, "Let's go and see."

Ruyi and Baochai both burst out laughing, blushing and giving Jia Cong a white look, "You are the only scoundrel who is not ashamed at all."
