After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 969 Reward
That night, Haitang learned from her brother Haijiao that the medicine had been delivered.

Haijiao reassured her: "Xiao Jin promised to take it as soon as possible, so don't worry."

Haitang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "If he can really take it as soon as possible, that would be great. Although the medicine can take effect within three days, the fresher the better. Over time, the effect will weaken, which will not be good for Brother Jin."

Hai Jiao sneered, "You can rest assured about this. If I hadn't persuaded him to go back to the house and find an opportunity to take the medicine, he would have swallowed the medicine in front of me. I was shocked at the time, thinking what if he fell asleep in front of me? How can I explain to others that I was talking to him and he fell down. It wasn't my fault?"

Haitang laughed out loud upon hearing this: "It's not that exaggerated. He won't fall asleep just by taking the medicine. He has to take the detoxification pills before he feels sleepy. But even if he feels sleepy, he won't fall down on the spot. It's like when he feels sleepy at night. He can definitely hold on until he goes back to his room and falls asleep."

So, in fact, it would be okay to let Jin Jiashu take the medicine directly? When he finished taking the detoxification pill and returned to the house, there would be no abnormality? Haijiao thought that he could take the two small porcelain bottles away on the spot without leaving any traces for the palace servants to find. He couldn't help but secretly regret it in his heart.

But it was all over, and there was no point in him feeling sorry for it. Jin Jiashu was still a little smart, and he would probably do a good job of cleaning up the mess.

Thinking of this, he took out two booklets from his bosom and handed them to his younger sister: "This is what Xiao Jin gave me. He said that it was the property awarded to him by the Grand Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother and the new emperor. It is not convenient for him to stay in the palace. He is afraid that he will not have enough time to sort it out after leaving the palace before the New Year, so he asked us to help him find out. This one is the list of names, and the other one is Zhuangzi's account for the past three years. He asked someone to copy it. The original is still with him."

Haijiao actually felt that Jin Jiashu's words were just an excuse. He only said to others that he wanted to ask his good friend to investigate the situation of the industry, but in fact he wanted his fiancée to take a look at the future family assets, right? Haijiao just felt that Jin Jiashu was becoming more and more scheming now. Why didn't he see that this kid had so many tricks in his mind before?
Haitang took the two booklets, opened them and looked through them, and found that Jin Jiashu had made great contributions in saving the emperor this time, and his harvest was quite rich.

The new emperor gave him a large farm in Yutian County, which covered more than 20 hectares of land. It was in a good location and had fertile soil. Five hundred acres of the land was planted with tribute rouge rice, which was enough for him to rise from a well-off family to a wealthy one. From then on, he no longer had to worry about having no money to spend.

The Empress Dowager gave him a hot spring manor in Xiaotangshan, which covers an area of ​​more than ten hectares. Although there is only a five-story house at present, there are seven or eight hot springs, and there is a large area of ​​land to be developed. In the future, whether he uses this place to recuperate, avoid the cold in winter, or grow vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., he can live comfortably. The output of the hot spring manor is not only enough for him to be self-sufficient, but also has a surplus that can be sold.

Queen Mother Xu gave him a four-story mansion in Nanxunfang with a large garden. The mansion is in a good location. It is located in a busy street and close to the palace, which is very convenient for him to visit the palace. Moreover, the mansion has dozens of servants and has been packed up. Jin Jiashu can move in at any time. There is also a row of shops outside the mansion, about seven or eight, with impeccable location and size. There are already tenants with good wealth and good reputation. Starting from the beginning of next spring, they can provide the new owner Jin Jiashu with generous rental income. These three nobles rewarded Jin Jiashu with very good properties, as well as gold, silver, new books, precious medicinal materials, carriages and horses, etc. In addition, the seventh prince, King Kang, also gave gifts, mainly some antique calligraphy and paintings, and precious furnishings. This made Jin Jiashu rich quickly. He no longer had to be as frugal as he was in Chang'an before, where he had to calculate carefully for everything he wanted to do, buy some property, and find ways to raise money.

Hai Jiao had read the contents of the two booklets and could not help but sigh, "Xiao Jin is really different now! He has made a fortune this time and is a hundred times richer than Wu Ke! Although Wu Ke has the title deed of the Wu family's old residence and some of the family's former properties, they all need to be reorganized to determine whether there is any working money to use. He is still worried about renovating the old residence. He is very grateful that his uncle and his family are willing to spend a few thousand to buy his abandoned house. If he knew how much money Xiao Jin has, I don't know what he would think!"

Haitang couldn't help but retort, "How can they be the same? The Wu family didn't do anything great, and now they just got back their former property. Big Brother Jin did a great job, so he deserves more rewards. What reason does Wu Ke have to be jealous of him?"

Hai Jiao smiled and said, "You don't have to start speaking well of Xiao Jin now. I didn't say Wu Ke would be jealous of Xiao Jin. It's just that as both are relatives by marriage, Empress Wu certainly got the new emperor's name, and the third prince was posthumously named the crown prince, but what the Wu family's relatives can get is really incomparable to what the current Empress Dowager Xu's relatives can get. As concubines of the late emperor, the treatment of Empress Yuandi and the imperial concubine who was appointed later is like heaven and earth. It can be seen that there is still a big difference in whether or not to be favored by the emperor, whether to live long enough, and whether to give birth to a new emperor."

Haitang couldn't help but roll her eyes at her brother. How can such a thing be compared? Empress Wu and her son died tragically, but the Wu family's actions were not so upright. They were stupid and unlucky, and now that their descendants can turn things around, they are already lucky. Why can they be jealous of Empress Dowager Xu and the new emperor? Think about Concubine Liu Shufei back then, didn't she and her son die tragically? The Liu family's in-laws are not as blessed as the brothers and sisters Wu Ke and Wu Qiong!
Thinking of this, Haitang couldn't help but ask her brother: "How is Mr. Liu Keren from Suzhou City doing now? Are there any other people from the Liu family in the capital?"

Hai Jiao had not paid attention to Liu Keren for a long time. Although he was also the deceased emperor and the victim of the Sun family who was exiled to the border town due to injustice, and had a good relationship with the Hai family, they had not been in touch for a long time. Hai Jiao often forgot about this old friend of the Hai family whom he had not seen for many years.

However, he still paid a little attention to the news about Liu Keren: "Although the Liu family still has relatives and friends in the capital, they have long been squeezed out of the official circle and are now just an ordinary gentry family. It is said that Concubine Liu Shu's parents are both dead and have no children, so they adopted Liu Keren from the family as their heir. Except for Liu Keren's family, no one in the Liu family is close to Concubine Liu Shu. She lost her son and was demoted and imprisoned in the cold palace, and the Liu family didn't say a word. Liu Keren was reprimanded for his adopted sister, and was demoted to the northwest border in a blink of an eye. Even Concubine Liu Shu's funeral had to be hastily handled. This time, Concubine Liu Shu was posthumously honored, and the prince she gave birth to was also given a legitimate name. It is estimated that the benefits will still fall on Lord Liu Keren. Most of the other relatives and friends of the Liu family will not benefit from it."

Hai Jiao had heard from someone that when Datong had a vacancy, it was likely that someone who was better at governing the people would be selected from the generals in the northwest to fill the position. Liu Keren had been stationed in Suzhou City for many years. Although he had experienced several major wars, he was more inclined to civil governance in terms of ability. He was quite suitable for the position of Datong, which was also a disguised way of fulfilling his wish to return to the Central Plains.

Lord Liu is in the northwest, and I don’t know when he will receive this good news. I’m sure he will be very happy then, right?
Haitang thought of this and asked again: "What about the Sun family? How is the Sun family doing now? If Lord Liu could catch up and see the Sun family fall with his own eyes, he would be happier, right?"

I have a cold, and I feel sleepy after taking medicine...
