As for Jia Ke, he cooperated with Lin Zhixiao to count the silver, gold, pearls and jade and other items copied by Lai's family one by one and put them into the warehouse. Then he took the three thousand taels of silver rewarded by Jia Mu and went to the front yard. Then he asked the soldiers to help
, together with the money and other items stolen from Li An's house, were sent to Aunt Zhou in the backyard.
Aunt Zhou heard that Jia Ke was back last night, but after waiting in the house all night, she still didn't see Jia Ke coming back. She was so anxious that she felt like she was getting angry.
The next day, as soon as it dawned, Xia Mai was asked to go around to inquire. Xia Mai was quite good at inquiring about information. He soon found out that Jia Ke came back to see the master last night and went to the front yard.
He didn't come back at night.
Aunt Zhou waited anxiously in the house until the afternoon when she saw Jia Ke come in with a group of people and several boxes.
When Aunt Zhou saw Jia Ke, she rushed towards him and hugged him, crying and scolding: "You heartless little thing, you have been gone for such a long time without even writing a letter. You really miss me."
Jia Ke was also very excited when he saw Aunt Zhou whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He had already regarded Aunt Zhou as his biological mother since he traveled through time. He missed Aunt Zhou very much after not seeing her for such a long time.
He quickly apologized and said, "Auntie, don't cry. I'm coming back to see you. My son misses his aunt all the time when he is away, but he really doesn't have time to come back to visit his aunt."
After some consolation from Jia Ke, Aunt Zhou stopped crying, looked at Jia Ke with a smile on her face, and then started sobbing again for some reason: "If you lose weight, life outside will definitely not be as good as at home, Chun Cao
This bastard didn't take good care of you, and you lost weight not long after you were outside."
Jia Ke saw that there were still many soldiers waiting. He was very embarrassed by Aunt Zhou's behavior. At Caozhuang, he was just the commander-in-chief of the soldiers, but now he was being rubbed around like a child by Aunt Zhou, which made him feel...
Very shameless.
So he quickly diverted Aunt Zhou's attention and said, "Auntie, look what I brought back this time."
Only then did Aunt Zhou notice that there were many people around her, and she felt embarrassed. Then she spared Jia Ke and said, "Next time you don't come back to see Auntie for such a long time, let me show you a good look."
When Jia Ke saw that Aunt Zhou had stopped making trouble, he quickly ordered his soldiers to carry the things to the house where he used to live. Then he called Liu Yu into the house and said to him: "Brothers, you have worked hard these days. How can you get rid of these things?"
Count six hundred taels of silver out of the silver, and each brother will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. The rest belongs to you, your father, and Lin Zhixiao."
How could Liu Yu dare to accept it? He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Your uncle's work is our responsibility, how dare you collect money again? This is absolutely impossible."
Jia Ke said to Liu Yu: "You don't have to refuse. This money is not for you alone. It is given to the whole army by me. You just want to pass it by. You don't have to have any other ideas."
Liu Yu saw that Jia Ke insisted on asking for the reward, so he stopped refusing. Jia Ke opened a silver box and counted out six hundred taels of silver from it and handed it to Liu Yu. Liu Yu and other members of the soldiers took the silver and asked Jia Ke thousands of dollars.
After thanking each other profusely, everyone finally left together.
Aunt Zhou was silent at first, but when she saw Jia Ke giving so much silver to the soldiers, she was so angry that her eyes were red. Looking at this prodigal son, she wanted to go up and slap him awake.
When all the soldiers left, Aunt Zhou came up and tried to twist Jia Ke's ears. Jia Ke hurriedly ran away, while Aunt Zhou chased after her, saying at the same time: "Look, I will beat you to death, you are a loser. Such a lot of money is enough."
You gave it to others for nothing, your aunt and I have never seen so much money in my life."
Jia Ke quickly explained to Aunt Zhou: "These soldiers followed me from Xiacaozhuang to Wangjiatun, and then from Wangjiatun to the capital. They have been working non-stop for several days. They not only have to protect my safety, but also guard my safety.
These finances are very hard. If we don't get a big reward, who will work with my son in the future."
After hearing his explanation, Aunt Zhou let him go, but she still muttered that it didn't require so much money.
Aunt Zhou was born in a poor family. She became Jia Zheng's aunt, and she only got two taels a month. She always wanted to leave more for Jia Ke. Your life is also very simple, so you are very sensitive to money.
.
Jia Ke was very touched by Aunt Zhou's devotion to him, and took her hand into the house. After entering the house, he opened the wooden boxes for her to see. Aunt Zhou saw that the boxes were full of silver, and there were several boxes.
He was completely stunned. The hand holding Jia Ke kept trembling, and his body became so weak that he could no longer stand. If Jia Ke hadn't been holding him by his side, he would have collapsed to the ground.
It took Aunt Zhou a long time to wake up and said to Jia Ke, "Does the master know where the money came from? Nothing will happen."
Jia Ke comforted her and said, "Part of the property was rewarded by the master yesterday, and part of it was rewarded by the old lady today. Auntie, just don't worry. The money is all paid for."
Aunt Zhou then let out a long breath, then walked forward and touched one box after another. She turned around and said to Jia Ke with a smile: "With this money, you will no longer have to worry about dividing your family in the future."
There is no money to live on.”
At first, Jia Ke thought that Aunt Zhou liked money very much when he saw her going from box to box. But now when he heard what she said, he realized that he was planning for his own future, and he felt even more moved.
Jia Ke stepped forward and said to Aunt Zhou: "Auntie, don't worry about your future life. Please use the money as you wish. My son will definitely have greater achievements in the future, making Auntie ten or a hundred times more prosperous than she is now."
Aunt Zhou said: "I don't ask for any glory. I just hope that you will get married as soon as possible and give me a grandson. That would be beautiful." As she said this, she looked forward to the beautiful life in the future.
Just then, I heard Xia Mai's voice outside the house: "Auntie, it's getting late. Isn't it time to make dinner?"
Only then did Aunt Zhou realize that it was getting late and Jia Ke hadn't eaten yet.
Aunt Zhou shouted to the outside of the house: "Wait, I'll be out soon." After saying that, she locked every box, but she didn't feel confident and checked it again. Then she and Jia Ke went out together, and Xia Mai
When he saw Jia Ke, he quickly saluted and said, "Hello, young master."
When Jia Ke saw Xia Mai, he took out an ingot of more than one tael of silver from his arms, threw it to Xia Mai, and said to her: "Let the kitchen cook more good dishes, and I will reward you with the remaining silver."
"
Xia Mai excitedly took the silver, turned around and ran out.
Aunt Zhou unconsciously complained to him again: "There is no need to spend so much money to copy a few more dishes. It's true that Xia Mai will accept it if you give it to her."
After listening to Aunt Zhou's nagging, Jia Ke did not refute, but just listened quietly with a smile. Jia Ke felt that such a scene was very warm. It was a mother's concern for her son who had returned from afar.
Before Xia Mai brought dinner, Jia Zheng arrived. Jia Zheng was becoming more and more satisfied with Jia Ke, and he valued Jia Ke far more than Jia Zhu.
Aunt Zhou was even more happy to see Jia Zheng coming. It had been a long time since they had a reunion dinner together.
Soon the food was served. Jia Zheng sat in the middle, with Aunt Zhou and Jia Ke on both sides. Although Jia Zheng was very satisfied with Jia Ke, he was not naturally good at praising others. So at the dinner table, he just talked and let him
If you continue to work hard and don't slack off, Jia Ke naturally agrees.
Aunt Zhou saw the harmony between father and son, and couldn't close her mouth with smiles. She kept urging people to drink and eat at the banquet, and before she knew it, Jia Zheng became drunk. Jia Ke saw that Jia Zheng was drunk, so he left and went back to the house to rest.
Aunt Zhou, on the other hand, helped Jia Zheng sleep.
