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

Chapter 427 Proposal
Haitang guessed Jin Jiashu's intention in asking this question.

She didn't answer but asked: "Is it okay if you don't use crutches to walk? The injury is almost healed? Doesn't it hurt when you walk?"

Jin Jiashu came back to his senses and looked down at his legs: "The injury has basically healed. It's just that when I walk, I'm not as flexible as before. I'll be fine with more practice. Now I'm walking a few steps in the yard." , I will try my best not to wear crutches, I hope I can adapt to it sooner.”

Haitang nodded: "As long as you don't feel pain in your legs, it's a good thing to practice walking more. You just have to do it within your ability and don't leave any hidden dangers to your legs. This is a major event that affects your whole life and cannot be ignored."

Jin Jiashu's expression at this time was different from before. He was much more honest and well-behaved: "Yes, I know, Sister Hai, don't worry."

Seeing that he was well-behaved, Haitang began to answer his question head-on: "As for what you just asked...if Grandpa Lu and Grandpa Cao don't say it clearly, you can write whatever you like in the letter. If you are afraid of acting coquettishly to your elders in the letter, you will If others see the joke, the worst thing you can do is seal the envelope tightly so that the letter doesn’t fall out, just let people see it.”

Jin Jiashu pursed his lips and smiled, but did not continue. He only said: "I told my aunt in the letter that I bought a house in Chang'an City and am renovating it. I will move in soon."

Haitang's heart moved and she said with a smile: "Buying a house and real estate is a big deal, and you should tell your elders about it." She turned around and stared at Jin Jiashu's face, "Besides, once you move into your own house, it will be a family affair." Lord, no matter what you do, you can do it according to your own will, which is much more comfortable than relying on others. "

Jin Jiashu was not sure if she was trying to test something, so he quickly said: "I am very happy living in my house. Grandpa Hai and Grandma Hai take good care of me. Everyone in the family is very good to me. I have never felt that I I’m living under someone else’s roof. Sister Hai, don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining about buying a house.”

"Of course I won't misunderstand you." Haitang said, "But no matter how comfortable you live in someone else's home, it's not as comfortable as your own place. Isn't there a saying that a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse? Besides, you have never been I have never been in charge of my own house and had to obey other people's arrangements for everything. I am definitely looking forward to having my own home and being able to do everything according to my own wishes. "

Jin Jiashu blushed slightly, but he was still very happy. There is actually someone in the world who can guess what he is really thinking in his heart, and he won't think about it elsewhere. This feeling... is not bad.

Haitang added: "You bought a house near our house, and it will be just as convenient to come and go in the future. This is also proof that you are close to our family and have no unpleasantness with our family. I am only happy for you, and there is absolutely no misunderstanding. It's just that you are close to our family. …”

Jin Jiashu was listening happily when he suddenly heard the words "just" and his heart suddenly started to rise again: "It's just what?"

"It's just that you are not very old, and it is your first time to be the master of the house. In the past, no one taught you what to do at home..." Haitang looked at Jin Jiashu, "You can really take care of your new home by yourself. Don’t you need help?”

Jin Jiashu blinked and said: "I'm not alone... I plan to hire a few familiar people to do some cleaning, cooking and laundry at home... I've already asked a few people I often hire, Some of them have already agreed to me." Haitang understood: "Are they the young people who have been employed by you since years ago to help you run errands? They are locals in Chang'an and are familiar with everything in the city. . With their help, you should be able to adapt to life here quickly. But..."

Jin Jiashu just breathed a sigh of relief, but was troubled by her words "It's just": "It's just what?"

Haitang smiled slightly: "But they can only help you with some chores to ensure your daily life is comfortable, but they may not be able to help you with many other things, such as New Year's etiquette and favors. You How about... mention it to your aunt in the letter? Maybe she can give you some advice?"

Jin Jiashu was a little confused when he heard this: "Ask aunt...to give me some advice?" How to give me an idea? The "aunt" was far away in the capital, and was suppressed by Concubine Sun in the palace. How could she help herself? If the Empress Dowager Zhou hadn't come forward to persuade the Zhou family to protect him, he still wouldn't know where he would be now. The "aunt" had too much time to take care of herself, and he just asked not to cause any trouble to her. As long as the "cousin" born by the "aunt" succeeded in inheriting the throne, he would be able to truly breathe a sigh of relief.

Haitang changed the subject again: "Speaking of which, you haven't used the money given by the government in your box so far. You are buying a house and renovating it in Chang'an City. Do you still have enough money in your hand? In the future, You have moved into a new home, but have you ever thought about ways to make money?

Jin Jiashu didn't know why she was banging her hammer here and there, but he could tell that she was thinking of him out of kindness, so he answered honestly: "Although I have thought about buying a property, I will concentrate on my studies in the future and try to take the exam as soon as possible." I won the honor so that I could go to Beijing to see my aunt, but I couldn't spare any energy to take care of the property, so I thought about it again and decided to forget it. My daily expenses are not big, and the gold and silver in my hand are enough for me to eat and drink for three to five years. I'll use it. When all the money is spent, I'll ask the Zhenguo Government to help me exchange the box of gold ingots for pieces of silver. It won't be a problem for me to survive for another ten or eight years. , I can go back to my hometown to recover my family’s property, but it’s not possible, and those gold ingots can also be used to buy new properties. I don’t want to be rich, and I can live with a few taels of silver in farm rent and shop rent. "

Haitang gave him an appreciative look: "Your ideas are very practical. That's fine. If you are not particularly good at it, there is no need for scholars to distract themselves from making investments to make money. You can also earn enough by being a landlord or a charterer. With living expenses, we can live a prosperous and stable life.”

Jin Jiashu didn't fully understand the meaning of her words, and was about to ask in detail when he heard her say: "You have simple ideas about your future life, and you don't need any powerful talents to help you, but after all, you are young and you don't have the head of a family." Experience. It would be easier if you confessed your troubles to your aunt and asked her to help find a loyal and experienced person to take care of some household chores for you, right?

Jin Jiashu was stunned: "What? Ask aunt... for someone?" Is this possible? "Aunt" is in the palace and is in a bad situation. Who can she send to him?
However, Haitang felt that Concubine Xu Xian was not an ordinary woman. She was the beloved concubine in the palace. She had a master-servant relationship with the Queen Mother for more than ten years, and they had a common mission. There was no secret between them and the emperor. Even if she had no one under her, Can't you borrow someone from the Queen Mother or the Emperor? The person who can be sent to Chang'an should preferably be someone from the Queen Mother's side, and someone who knows the true relationship between Concubine Xu Xian and Jin Jiashu. With such a person beside Jin Jiashu, Concubine Xu Xian can know for sure that her son has not been mistreated by the Zhou family. And if Jin Jiashu wants to communicate with his biological mother and talk about secret things, she no longer has to restrain herself, right?

Of course, Haitang knew that the Zhou family would not open the letter written by Jin Jiashu to Xu Xianfei without permission, but if Jin Jiashu always had concerns about the Zhou family and could not trust him wholeheartedly, it would be easy for Jin Jiashu to leave a knot in his heart over time. Will his hatred for the Zhou family evolve into the hatred Concubine Xu Xian or the Eighth Prince has for the Zhou family in the future? This will not do any good to the Zhou family.

Since the Zhou family is determined to make a second contribution to the dragon, it is better not to let them fall into the trap again. Since the Zhou family has no possibility of being greedy for power and threatening the imperial power, the king who succeeded in ascending to the throne with their support should also cooperate to stage a good story about the relationship between the king and his ministers. This is the best encouragement and reward for loyal ministers!
