Xia Lu's guess was not wrong. Jia Jing had indeed returned to his previous state,
In fact..,
After the commotion..,
His entire person seemed even more empty,
It could be seen from the Jia Zhen's anxious expression.
"Master can't pull himself together. If he continues to be dispirited, it's not good
That's not right. "Jia Zhen sighed.
Xia Lu thought for a moment and said, "Then we can only find something for Master to do..,
Once Master is busy, he won't let his imagination run wild. "
"But..,
What are you looking for? "The Jia Zhen had a headache.
Xia Lu also did not expect that they were currently in mourning,
They could not go out either. In ancient times, what activities could they have at home? If it was the modern era, with the developed Internet, they would not be bored even if they stayed at home for a year.
"Grandma, I've bought it."
I've bought it. "Xiao Fei brought the bundle in.
"What are these things?" The Jia Zhen was a little curious. Looking at such a big bag, he did not know what was inside.
Xia Lu asked Xiao Fei to put the bag on the table,
She could not wait to open the bag. There were small boxes and bottles inside,
Xia Lu quickly opened the stopper of a small porcelain bottle,
He sniffed the smell inside,
Then he poured out a little of the contents of the bottle and rubbed it on his hands. It was indeed good stuff. It was moisturizing, but it was not refreshing enough. In this weather, after rubbing it, it felt oily.
"What is this?" The Jia Zhen asked.
"It's all some hand cream, facial cream, and things like that." Xia Lu tried it one by one.
"Why did you buy so many things? It's not like you can use them all in one go." The Jia Zhen also opened a porcelain bottle with his hand and wiped his hands. It was especially oily. He did not like it. The Jia Zhen quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands clean.
"I just want to do business with women. When the time comes, I'll improve these face creams a little. Business will probably be very good." Xia Lu looked at these things and felt that they were changing the soup but not the medicine. After all, without an emulsifier, it was difficult to make the face creams fresh.
"Why are you thinking about doing business out of the blue? Our household is so big, why are you doing this? It's so tiring." The Jia Zhen threw the things aside. Obviously, he looked down on what Xia Lu was going to do next.
"I'll find something for myself to do. You're so busy every day, so can't I find something to do to pass the time?" Xia Lu cursed in her heart. Wait till I'm done with my business, I'll show you what a woman's spending power is. She's focusing on health centers and high-end health centers. These health centers can only be accessed by VIPs. The higher the level of the VIP, the more services there will be for you. Hmph, how can you become a high-class VIP?
No matter what era it was, money from women and children was the easiest to earn. Should he hang a sign at the entrance of the health center saying that men and dogs were not allowed in? Forget it. After all, this is a male-dominated society. It's better not to stir up trouble.
Yes, he also had to arrange some brainwashing classes. Bah, psychological classes. He had to brainwash these women who came to spend money. Don't be stingy with spending money. The amount of energy you spend on your face will be the amount of attention that men will pay to you. Xia Lu was building his own business empire in his heart with a bright smile on his face.
"Hey, violent woman, violent woman." The Jia Zhen stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xia Lu's eyes. What's wrong with this woman?
Xia Lu came back to his senses and looked at the Jia Zhen.
"Didn't you say that you'll send the two little brats to their father later? To cultivate their relationship, "the Jia Zhen said.
"That's right. Let Fu Qi interact more with Master. With Fu Qi occupying his life, Master shouldn't be so decadent." Xia Lu's eyes lit up as he thought of Jia Jing.
"That's only if Master doesn't have a knot in his heart about Fu Qi. Moreover, Fu Qi is very noisy now. He cries whenever something doesn't go his way. Even if Master accepts him, he won't take care of him personally." The Jia Zhen shook his head. He was not optimistic about Xia Lu's idea. Master was not him. How could he take care of the child personally?
"No matter what, we still have to try." No matter what, Xia Lu would never let his father-in-law become a Taoist priest.
Jia Lian was sent to Jia Xie. Jia Xie immediately took him and held him in her arms. Obviously, she did not have a grudge against Jia Lian because of the death of the Chang Clan. Xia Lu was relieved. He said that he would come to pick up the child in the evening. Then he carried Fu Qi and went to Jia Jing's yard with the Jia Zhen.
"Why are you here?" Jia Jing asked when she saw the Jia Zhen and Xia Lu. Then she saw the child in Xia Lu's arms. She frowned slightly and turned her face to the other side, not looking at the child.
"Fu Qi has been pregnant for more than four months. Master hasn't held him formally. We specially came here this time to let Master hold him and get to know him." The Jia Zhen took Fu Qi from Xia Lu and wanted to pass him to Jia Jing.
Jia Jing subconsciously took a step back. Her whole body was resisting, just like the Jia Zhen before.
When Xia Lu saw this scene, she pursed her lips and thought to herself, "Fortunately, she's only four months old and doesn't know anything. If she knew that her father rejected her and refused to be close to her, I don't know what kind of blow she would receive."
"Father, don't you want to hold him?" Jia Zhen looked at Jia Jing with sadness in her eyes.
"Just take care of him. An elder brother is like a father, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Can't you take care of your younger brother?" Jia Jing took another book from the desk and read it carefully. However, all his attention was on the child in Jia Zhen's arms. It seemed that the child was a threat and he was ready to run away at any time.
At this time, Fu Qi seemed to sense something and cried directly.
Jia Zhen held the child upright in her arms and gently patted his back. She moved her body gently to comfort Fu Qi. "Master doesn't want to accept him? Just like how I didn't want to accept him before. Do you think that he caused Madam's death? "
Jia Jing hurriedly flipped through the book and didn't say anything. Obviously, that was what he thought.
"But, is he really wrong? When Madam was pregnant with him, Master looked forward to it so much. I was even jealous, afraid that once he was born, Master would only have him in his eyes and not have me, his eldest son. Back then, Master was so happy when he found out that Madam was pregnant. He had brought joy to Master and Madam. Why is Master so cruel to him now? "
"If it wasn't for him, if it wasn't for him …" Jia Jing threw the book in his hands on the desk. His whole body was trembling.
"If it wasn't for him, Madam wouldn't have passed away, right? But, does Madam's death have anything to do with him? Did Madam become like this because the Crown Prince forced her to abdicate and Lai Er offended Madam in a moment of desperation? If that's the case, Master should hate me. I didn't manage the household well and didn't look after Lai Er. As a result, he offended Madam. Master should hate me as well. Why do you only hate Fu Qi? "Jia Zhen asked as she looked at Jia Jing with tears streaming down her face.
Jia Jing was trembling all over and didn't say anything else.
Jia Zhen tried to calm herself down. She walked to the soft couch that Jia Jing usually used to rest. She put the child on it and said, "I'll leave Fu Qi here. If Master has made up his mind, please hold Fu Qi. I'll pick him up at night." After that, the Jia Zhen didn't wait for Jia Jing to say anything. She ignored the crying child and left Jia Jing's room with Xia Lu.
Xia Lu was a little worried. What if her father-in-law did something to Fu Qi in a moment of anger? Although Xia Lu believed that even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs, what if?
Jia Zhen didn't leave with Xia Lu directly. Instead, he went to Jia Jing's personal servant, Liu Fei. "Uncle Liu Fei, keep an eye on Master's room. If Master does anything extreme to Fu Qi, go in quickly and stop him."
Liu Fei understood that Jia Zhen was trying to untie the knot in Master's heart towards Second Young Master. He quickly nodded. "Young Master, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Master."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu Fei." After Jia Zhen asked Liu Fei for help, he left with Xia Lu.
After returning, he was a little restless and anxious. Xia Lu was also very anxious. Whether or not he could untie the knot in his heart depended on this. Xia Lu hoped that it could be untied. If it couldn't be untied, how big of a blow would Fu Qi suffer in the future when he became sensible?
After Jia Zhen and Xia Lu left, Jia Jing's gaze fell on the child who was crying on the soft couch. Because he had been crying for a while, his crying became softer, but he was still crying. Jia Jing unconsciously walked to the soft couch and looked at the child who was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
Jia Jing reached out his hand and then withdrew it. He reached out his hand again and withdrew it again. After a few times, when the child was crying intermittently and had no more energy, he finally reached out and held the child in his arms, comforting him softly. Strangely, after Jia Jing held the child in his arms, the child stopped crying.
Jia Jing fed the child a few mouthfuls of warm water, and then his left index finger was held in Fu Qi's hand. Fu Qi opened his big eyes and stared straight at Jia Jing. In the end, because of the crying and the child's limited energy, Fu Qi fell asleep in Jia Jing's arms. Jia Jing looked at Fu Qi's sleeping face and tears fell like rain.
He didn't hate the child, nor did he hate Jia Zhen, but himself. If he could persuade the emperor to quickly pacify the chaos, the child's mother wouldn't have died. But he was too useless.
When Jia Zhen came to pick up the child, he saw that Fu Qi was still lying on the soft couch. However, looking at Fu Qi's appearance, he seemed to have been taken care of before falling asleep. Jia Zhen was slightly relieved and said, "I'll bring Fu Qi here tomorrow."
