The New Year in the Jia family is still going on in the same orderly manner as in the past, with the same New Year gifts, ancestor worship, greetings, and feasts. Then there is the family banquet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
At the banquet, Jia Ke saw Aunt Zhang again. She was more beautiful than before, and because of her pregnancy, she still had the brilliance of her mother. She used to be considered delicate, but now she can be called beautiful.
Especially when her skin becomes white. Maybe people who spend a lot of time together haven't noticed it yet. But people like Jia Ke, who haven't been home for a year and suddenly see her, find that she has changed a lot.
Moreover, during the ancestor worship ceremony this year, Aunt Zhang actually entered the inner hall as the aunt and placed sacrifices for the ancestors. This is already the treatment of Mrs. Zhengyin. I don’t know how Jia Mu agreed. It seems that she has to use
To destroy a person, he must first make him crazy. This saying is indeed true.
After the New Year, before the first lunar month came out, Jia Ke hurried back to Caozhuang. The reason for this was mentioned by Jia Kezhi and Jia Zheng.
Still with Aunt Zhou's reluctance, Jia Ke left.
When Jia Ke returned to Xiacaozhuang, he did not rest for a few days as usual. Instead, he immediately entered the ascetic life again, practicing day and night in order to achieve a breakthrough.
After a few months of not going there, one night Jia Ke was still practicing the Spring and Autumn Daoyin Technique. He unconsciously entered a trance-like state, with Qi and blood flowing rapidly throughout his body, his heart beating like a drum, and he felt relaxed all over his body.
When Jia Ke woke up again, he still had endless strength in his body, and his arms swayed with the strength of ten thousand kilograms. Jia Ke was pleasantly surprised. He finally broke through his own limits and had maximized his personal potential. He was able to open a monument.
He can split rocks, can pick up chariots and horses, can spawn tigers and wolves, and is invincible in both vertical and horizontal directions. He can be said to be an enemy of ten thousand people.
Regardless of the fact that it was getting late, Jia Ke carried Fang Tian's painted halberd to the courtyard. He danced the halberd, and under the moonlight, he saw only cold light floating around. Only the light but no one could be seen. He was now able to paint Fang Tian's painted halberd.
The use of the halberd seemed to be lighter. After using the halberd all the way, I no longer felt tired as usual, and I just felt extremely relaxed. I just felt that although my current martial arts was not as good as Lu Bu's, it was still like Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.
The next day, Jia Ke made an exception and took a late nap. When he woke up in the morning, he felt that all the hard work he had put in during this time was worth it. He felt that one third of Lu Bu Zhiyong in his body had not yet been absorbed.
, it seems that in another year he will be able to achieve great success in martial arts. I am afraid that by then he will enter the ranks of human beings and immortals. By then, he will be able to travel around the world, conquer all directions, and make achievements.
In the following days, Jia Ke felt much more relaxed. He also had time to chat with Chuncao and Qiaolian every day. On this day, Chuncao and Qiaolian got a piece of news from the servant who sent them monthly money.
Aunt Zhang died of postpartum hemorrhage. She risked her life to give birth to a daughter for Jia She, named Yingchun.
But since the death of Aunt Fang, Jia She has been haunted every day. Not only did he not look at his daughter, but he regarded her as an enemy. He believed that without him, Aunt Zhang would not have died. I heard that there were several times when he looked at her fiercely. Because
The servants spread the news everywhere, and finally Jia Mu took Yingchun into her care and raised her, and the matter gradually subsided.
After Jia Ke heard the news, he was silent for a long time. He sighed in his heart that what should come will come. Then he dropped his hand and continued to live his life.
Since his breakthrough in martial arts, Jia Ke has no longer been eager for quick success. Every day he is either practicing Fang Tian's halberd painting or the Spring and Autumn Dao Technique. He is also having fun with his two little maids, and his life is extremely carefree.
During the lean months of May and June, Zhou Wang was ordered to sell most of the stored grain and leave only a thousand Dan in the warehouse to prepare for emergencies.
In the afternoon of this day, Jia Ke finished practicing the Spring and Autumn Daoyin Technique and was sitting on a lounge chair in the courtyard to rest. Suddenly he heard a noise outside the courtyard door.
Jia Ke opened his eyes and asked: "What's going on outside? Are you still letting people sleep? Chun Cao goes out to take a look."
After a while, it became quiet outside, and Chun Cao also came in from the outside. He walked gently to Jia Ke and said, "Uncle, there is a beggar outside who insists on seeing you. He also said that if he doesn't see you, he will be killed by us.
At the door. I asked my father to temporarily arrange for him to stay in the concierge."
Jia Ke opened his eyes, thought about it, and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do today. I just want to meet this beggar and see what's wrong with him. If he tries to trick me, see how I deal with him."
Chuncao asked: "Then bring him in?"
Jia Ke said: "Bring him in."
Soon, a beggar was brought in from outside by Chun Cao. He looked at him in rags, with a sallow face and thin skin, covered in mud, and his hair was messy. It seemed that he had suffered a lot.
When the beggar saw Jia Ke, he burst into tears and fell in front of Jia Ke.
Seeing that his situation was different, Jia Ke said to him gently: "If you have anything to say to me, don't be afraid, just say it."
The beggar finally stopped crying and said to Jia Ke: "Uncle, I am not an outsider. I am Aunt Zhang's personal maid."
Jia Ke was shocked when he heard what he said. Looking at the person's appearance, she looked like the personal maid of the pampered Aunt Zhang. She could hardly tell the difference between men and women.
Jia Ke didn't believe him and asked him: "You said you are Aunt Zhang's personal maid, what proof do you have?"
The beggar said: "When my aunt was about to give birth, she gave me a letter and sent me out. She said that if she died, she would come to you, but if she was fine, she would come back in two days. She also said that the letter
It’s the evidence, you’ll understand it as soon as you see it.”
Jia Ke saw that he didn't seem to be telling lies, so he said to him: "Where do you believe it now? Bring it to me."
The beggar was turned around, took out a small brocade bag from his body, then held it with both hands and presented it to Jia Ke.
Chun Cao next to him took it and gave it to Jia Ke. Jia Ke took the little brocade bag and opened it layer by layer. It turned out to be a letter inside.
Jia Ke took out the letter and looked at the outer cover of the letter carefully. There was no trace of damage at the adhesive joints. It seemed that no one had opened the letter.
Jia Ke tore open the envelope and found several pieces of letter paper inside, but the words written on them were not Chinese characters. They seemed to be English letters, but when Jia Ke read them in spelling, he discovered that they were actually Chinese pinyin.
It seems that as he thought, this Aunt Zhou is a time traveler like him. And she was very thoughtful. The last letter was also written in Chinese pinyin. If he is also a time traveler, he can naturally understand the content of the letter.
If he is not a time traveler and is just an accident, he will naturally not be able to understand the content of the letter.
It seems that Aunt Zhang wrote all her last secrets in this letter. But the strange thing is that she did not tell Jia She the secrets, but wrote to him in a letter.
In this case, Aunt Zhang must have woken up at the last moment and knew that Jia She was unreliable. She may also have known that she had gone too far before and that she might not be able to survive this catastrophe.
When Aunt Zhang first traveled through time, she probably thought of herself as the heroine in a romance novel, thinking that she could change everything. I'm afraid she still had some kind of golden finger like space. So she became unscrupulous. Looking at Jia She's appearance, I'm afraid
She wanted to be with Jia She for the rest of her life. But when she realized that she could not fight against the entire feudal ethics by herself, it was already too late.
But after all, this aunt has been wearing it now. She has read too much Zhaidouwen, and she still has some scheming. She must have made a remedy at the last moment and made a final struggle. That maid, I am afraid that she was afraid that the remedy would fail in the end.
And made the final foreshadowing.
Thinking of this, Jia Ke asked the maid: "What did your aunt often do in her last days?"
The maid said: "In the last few days, our aunt dragged her body every day to pay her respects to the old lady. She also took out many precious medicines from her private room and dedicated them to the old lady."
"Is there anything else, is that all?"
The maid thought for a while and said: "There is another strange thing. In the end, my aunt always eats the same food as our master. She doesn't eat anything except what he eats."
