The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 48
Seeing that the order was almost done, Jia Ke said to Zhou Wang: "If you have anything else to say, say it now, and don't make a mistake when I question you, and you say you were wronged. "

Zhou Wang thought for a while and replied: "If you have something to do, you have to tell the uncle. If I go to Wangjiatun alone, I may not be able to shock the peasants. When I go to Wangjiatun, I will inevitably recruit a few The thugs will use it. I don’t know if the uncle will allow it.”

Jia Ke also knew his difficulties. If he went alone, there might not be many people in such a big Zhuangzi who would listen to him.It is easy to recruit a few subordinates, and no peasants dare to owe rent maliciously.

So Jia Ke readily agreed, and said to him: "Okay, you can find a few people. But you can't be too rude and unreasonable to the farmers. After all, our family is in the name of charity, so don't give you a slip." After thinking for a while, he said to him, "The people you recruited paid five hundred yuan a month to provide them with meals. What do you think?"

Zhou Wang replied: "It's better that the uncle is thoughtful, so let's do what the uncle said."

Jia Ke asked him, "Is there anything else?"

Seeing him shaking his head again and again, don't say: "If you are, then go down."

As soon as Zhou Wang went down, Qiaolian came in, poured tea and water for him courteously, and then rubbed his shoulders and back.

Jia Ke also closed her eyes and enjoyed her service. At this moment, Chuncao came back from the kitchen, Qiaolian glanced at Chuncao proudly.Chuncao stared fiercely at Qiaolian and said nothing, threw the food box on the table and was about to go out.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Jia Ke hurriedly called her to stop, could it be: "What's the matter? Who offended you? Tell me, and I'll take care of him."

When Chuncao heard Jia Ke's question, tears rolled in her eyes.He stood by the door and didn't speak.

Jia Ke had no choice but to say to her, "Come and serve me dinner, what are you doing standing there?"

Chuncao reluctantly moved over, took out all the rice in the food box, and placed them on the table.

Just then Jia Ke got up and sat down at the table. Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, two meat and one vegetarian, it looked very delicate, and she didn't feel that her appetite was whetted.Take it to a bowl and let Dakou eat it.Since practicing martial arts, his appetite has been getting bigger and bigger.Regardless of his young age, his appetite is as big as two adults.

Jia Ke was eating, Qiaolian was obediently serving at the side, but Chuncao stood at the side with her lips pouted, not saying a word.

Jia Ke said to Chuncao: "Stop pouting, you can be regarded as a donkey. I have considered your father's affairs. He is not suitable to be in charge of Zhuangzi. After a few years, our family will grow up. Let him Go to the warehouse and be a steward in charge of the warehouse. With his honest character, I can rest assured."

After listening to Jia Ke's explanation, Chuncao turned her anger into joy, and at the same time gave Qiaolian a hard look.

Jia Ke smiled and said to Chuncao: "What's so scary about you, you will be the one who will receive two taels of silver a month in the future." After saying that, she laughed out loud.

Chuncao blushed with embarrassment, and was about to thump Jia Ke when she came up: "Master always makes fun of people, see if I don't thump you." She said proudly, like Qiaolian glanced at it.

It was the first time Qiaolian heard with her own ears that Jia Ke talked about two taels of silver a month, and remembered what Chuncao said to her when they met for the first time.Xin said that it seemed that she had to work harder, otherwise Chuncao would let the girl take the lead.Qiaolian has always thought that if Chuncao hadn't been with Jia Ke for a long time, how could she be as good as her?
Under Jia Ke's ingenious balance, Qiaolian did not gain the upper hand, and Chuncao was not inferior.This small conflict over the selection of Wangjiatun stewards disappeared in smoke.

After the meal, Jia Ke took a walk in the village as usual.Chat with those veterans about the battlefield, listen to their life experiences, and learn how to protect themselves on the battlefield.

In this way, a few more months passed, and the time of autumn and winter has entered the twelfth lunar month. If you want to see it, it will be the Chinese New Year.This is the first New Year's Eve when Jia Ke came to this world.And he hasn't returned to Jia's mansion for several months, and he misses Aunt Zhou very much.Anyway, I have to go back for the New Year.

Early the next morning, Jia Ke practiced Fang Tian's halberd painting as usual.In the past few months, he felt that Lu Bu's bravery was blending into his body faster and faster.It seems that this world is more than half a year, but Lu Bu's bravery is almost less than a quarter, much faster than he expected.

At this rate, that is, in one or two years, he will be able to have Lu Bu's peak combat power.According to the time he set for himself, he will be 14 three years later.By that time, his military strength has far surpassed that of Lu Bu, and by then he will be able to join the army and accumulate military merits.I just don't know when Jia Baoyu's disaster will come.

After finishing the morning practice, Jia Ke called Qian Mao in.Qian Mao has always been afraid of Jia Ke, and it has been several months now, and it has not disappeared.

As soon as Qian Mao entered Jia Ke's room, he stood there in a well-mannered manner, waiting for Jia Ke's orders.

Jia Ke looked at his reserved look, but felt that this was fine, as long as he was afraid, he would not dare to do anything wrong.He will not become the second Lai Da in the future, and maybe he will be able to start and end well with his master and servant in the future.

Jia Ke told him, "Qian Mao, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, we don't need to prepare anything here, just go back to the mansion to celebrate the New Year. Everyone will double the monthly money for the new year. The money will come from ourselves. Go on the account, don't cause trouble to the mansion."

Qian Mao said: "Just follow the instructions of the uncle, and I will go to prepare. But I don't know when we will return to the house? We will have personal guards on the way."

Jia Ke said: "This time we are going back to celebrate the New Year, there is nothing to do. Besides, the New Year is coming soon, we can't say that we celebrate the New Year and separate the flesh and blood of the soldiers. And the journey from here to the capital is very safe, and there is no need to worry about it." What kind of guards do you need? Let’s take a few cars and go together, and let Liu Yu and the others take care of the house.”

Seeing that Jia Ke was very thoughtful, Qian Mao responded one by one, and then asked, "Master, when shall we leave?"

Jia Ke thought for a while and said, "There are still more than ten days to celebrate the New Year. Tomorrow we will prepare for the day, and we will leave the day after tomorrow."

Qian Mao said: "Then I'll prepare now, or it may be too late." Saying this, he bowed to leave, and Jia Ke let him go.

In the evening, Chuncao and Qiaolian were very excited when they heard that they were going back to the capital for the New Year, so they wanted to pack their bags immediately.

Jia Ke said to them, "We only have so many bags, we can pack them tomorrow morning."

The two of them obeyed Jia Ke's words, and they just listened to what Jia Ke said.

The next morning, everyone in the house was in a hurry, and even Jia Ke couldn't be idle. He practiced martial arts in the morning, and in the afternoon, he went to the guards to visit the guards and personally paid them extra monthly money.

In the evening, family after family visited, and the old soldiers who were still alive gave them gifts.It was already late when everything was done.

Even Jia Ke felt very tired on this day.

On the second day, when they were about to leave, Lin Zhixiao came. He came to express condolences to the old soldiers on behalf of the Jia family.Lin Zhixiao came here overnight, originally Lin Zhixiao should have come earlier.But something happened at home in the past two days, because Jia Shexinna's aunt suddenly had a miscarriage and gave birth to a formed boy.The new aunt believed that Mrs. Xing did it, so she made a big fuss.Jia Amnesty loved this new aunt very much. Ever since this new aunt entered Jia's house, she never had any other female sex. It can be said that she has threatened Mrs. Xing's status, so he also suspected that Mrs. Xing did it. .If Mother Jia hadn't come forward to suppress her, she would have almost divorced Mrs. Xing.

All kinds of messy things have to be arranged by Lin Zhixiao, so he has never been free.It was only last night that they set off overnight at Jia Zheng's urging.So Jia Ke and the others had to stay another day and go back with Lin Zhixiao tomorrow.
