The eldest son of the red mansion

After hearing what he said, Mr. Li said to him: "You must study. You must remember that as long as you live, you must read."

Jia Ke bowed to the side to be taught, and didn't straighten up until Mr. Li finished speaking.

After talking with Jia Ke, Mr. Li saw that Jia Ke was coming, and the other two brothers didn't want to attend class, so he said to Jia Zhu and Jia Lian: "Jia Ke is back today, and you brothers haven't seen each other for many days. Naturally, we have to talk about it when we meet today. Let’s talk, let’s end today’s class.” After saying these words, he turned around and left the study, leaving the brothers to talk again.

Seeing that Mr. Li was gone, Jia Lian immediately became active. He jumped over from behind the desk, wrapped Jia Ke in his arms and said, "These days, I miss you so much. Every time I play the board after you leave, I am the only one. gone."

Jia Ke laughed out loud when he heard what he said. Could it be that he missed him so much because he was a beater.

At this time, Jia Zhu also came over and said to Jia Ke: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know how you are. My younger brother is polite."

Jia Ke also took a closer look at Jia Zhu at this time, Jia Zhu was still as graceful and courteous as ever.It's just that Jia Ke looks thinner than the previous few months, and Jia Ke is very worried about him, fearing that his body will not be able to hold on if he continues like this, but although the two are brothers, their identities are very embarrassing.It is far less close than Jia Lian's relationship.

But Jia Ke felt that it was better to remind the following, so she stepped forward and took Jia Zhu's hand, and said to him: "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your body looks thinner again. You must pay attention to your body, and you can't just focus on it." Reading does not care about the body."

When Jia Zhu heard Jia Ke's words, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes, but it immediately dimmed, and she said to Jia Ke with a trace of helplessness: "Brother, there are some things that cannot be controlled by oneself. Born in this family, some things always happen." I feel very helpless, didn't my elder brother leave home and go to the countryside for the sake of this family? And my mother is very strict at home, so I can only encourage it." After saying these words, he turned and left the study.Looking at Jia Zhu's back, Jia Ke felt that there was a huge mountain on his shoulders, and he couldn't straighten up.There was not only a trace of sourness in his eyes.Jia Zhu is different from him, he has golden fingers, but Jia Zhu is fighting with his life.

After Jia Zhu left, Jia Ke also felt that he had lost interest, so Jia Lian broke up and went home.

Back in her small courtyard, she saw Xia Mai sitting in the courtyard learning how to embroider. From Jia Ke's point of view, Xia Mai's talent was in a mess.The brocade cloth was in a mess, and I didn't know whether it was flowers or grass.

Jia Ke discovered that Xia Mai is now using brocade cloth, unlike the ordinary cotton cloth used before.I asked her where she bought it from, and Xia Mai said that someone she knew bought it on Ningrong Street.When it comes to buying brocade cloth, I look very proud.She used to buy cotton cloth, but this was his first time buying brocade cloth.It seems that he made a lot of money yesterday.

While the two were talking, Aunt Zhou came back.Jia Ke asked strangely: "Don't you have to wait for your wife to eat before you come back?"

Aunt Zhou smiled and said: "Thanks to the master who said that you are leaving tomorrow and let us have a good reunion, so that Madam will help me come back."

Jia Ke said to Xia Mai: "Let's copy a few more dishes today, you go to the kitchen and tell me in advance." As he spoke, he took out an ingot of silver from his pocket and handed it to her, Xia Mai took the silver, smiling so hard that he couldn't see up.Without waiting for Aunt Zhou to speak, Fei ran away.

Aunt Zhou looked at Xia Mai running away, and said to Jia Ke angrily: "You child, can't you save a little bit, our food is good every day, why do we need to add more food?"

Jia Ke coaxed Aunt Zhou and said, "Auntie, didn't you say that my son has lost weight, and he couldn't make up for it when he finally returned home."

Aunt Zhou had nothing to say. In fact, Jia Ke wanted Aunt Zhou to eat something good. He knew the kitchen in Jia’s mansion. With such a personality, I'm afraid he still won't spend money on adding vegetables to the kitchen.It's better to spend a little money while he is still there so that both mother and child can eat better.When he leaves tomorrow, even if he wants to honor Aunt Zhou, he will be unable to do so.

Jia Ke had lunch with Aunt Zhou, and the two of them talked until evening, most of the time Aunt Zhou was talking and Jia Ke was listening.But Jia Ke didn't feel bored at all, only felt the endless maternal love.This made him deeply intoxicated.

Chapter 46

Jia Ke got up early the next morning. He had to prepare things and went back to Caozhuang today. In fact, Aunt Zhou got up earlier than him, but she just wanted him to sleep a little longer so as not to disturb him.

Seeing him get up now, he immediately directs Xia Mai to the kitchen, prepares breakfast for Jia Ke, and tidies Jia Ke himself.

Although Aunt Zhou wanted to spend as much time with Jia Ke as possible, time passed quickly.After breakfast, Jia Ke bid farewell to Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou was still crying like last time.Jia Ke knelt down to kowtow to Aunt Zhou, and then left without looking back. He didn't dare to look back, tears kept rolling in his eyes.

Jia Ke went out of the inner courtyard and arrived at the small courtyard where the personal soldiers lived. Liu Yu had already made all preparations and set off when Jia Ke arrived.Lin Zhixiao and Qian Mao were also waiting on the sidelines.

Seeing Jia Ke coming, Lin Zhixiao hurried forward to salute Jia Ke, and said to him, "Master, I can't go with you. My family is still in Caozhuang, so please send them back."

Jia Ke replied, "You've been so helpful to me during this period of time. It's hard to be separated now. Please rest assured your family. I will arrange for someone to send them back when I return to Xiacaozhuang."

Lin Zhixiao bowed again and said in a low voice, "Thank you, sir. I am now the housekeeper of Jia's house, but I will always be my master's housekeeper."

Jia Ke understood, shook his hand tightly, and then said quietly: "Dispose of Li An's family, and don't leave any troubles." Lin Zhixiao didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Seeing that they had almost finished talking, Qian Mao came forward to greet Jia Ke.Seeing him, Jia Ke knew what was on his mind. Although he hadn't been sold out, he couldn't stay in Jia's house any longer. He wanted to go to Caozhuang with him, and Jia Ke was in Yezhenglin. After Zhixiao stayed in Jia's mansion, he also lacked a housekeeper, so he said to him, "Qian Mao, how are your preparations? We're leaving soon. Has your family arrived yet?"

Qian Mao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "It's been prepared a long time ago, and I'll just wait for my uncle's orders."

Jia Ke said: "Then put the things in the car, and then the women and children will also find cars to sit in. Our journey is tens of miles, if we let them go, they will suffer." Pause Suddenly, Jia Ke said to him again: "I am short of a housekeeper at home, so you can do it first."

Qian Mao wept with joy, knelt on the ground and said to Jia Ke: "Qian Mao has met his master. From now on, if Qian Mao has two minds, he will not die well, and he will die after death."

Jia Ke quickly helped him up and said, "From now on, I will be my own person, so don't say such frustrating words. We are about to leave now, and you can arrange the rest."

After Qian Mao got up, he went to make arrangements with a smile on his face.In fact, Jia Ke felt that Qian Mao was a bit soft and could only be a peaceful butler. If he went through any adversity, he might not be able to share with him.But he has no one to use right now, so he will be used first.Observe while using it. If the person thinks the same as him, someone will replace him in the future.

Qian Mao's arrangement was very thoughtful, and everyone was ready after a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Qian Mao came to ask Jia Ke for instructions, "Master, it's getting late, should we go on the road?"

At this moment, seeing Jia Zheng rushing over and Jia Ke not leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief.Slow down, calm your breath and walk slowly.

When Jia Ke saw Jia Zheng coming, she hurried up to greet him.Kneeling down in front of Jia Zheng, he said, "My son is leaving, father must take care of himself."

Jia Zheng helped Jia Ke up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Try hard not to disappoint me."

Jia Ke cupped her hands and replied, "Father, don't worry, my son will come back with success in three to five years."

Jia Zheng nodded in satisfaction and waved him to go.

Jia Ke knew that it would be a long time before she went back to Jia's mansion after this visit, and remembering Jia Zhu's situation yesterday, she decided to mention it to Jia Zheng, so she finally said to Jia Zheng: "Father, there is one thing that my son is worried about. .”

Jia Zheng said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, as long as the government can do it, I will try my best to do it for you."

Jia Ke was also very moved when he heard Jia Zheng's words, and replied, "My son is back this time. Seeing Second Brother Zhu, his body became thinner and thinner. It's not okay to go on like this. You should take care of your health as well as reading. Otherwise, you will be in trouble in the future." What should I do when I enter the examination room?"

Jia Zheng has always only paid attention to Jia Zhu's knowledge, never paid attention to Jia Zhu and others' bodies.Hearing what Jia Ke said, she didn't care.Anyway, there is no reading that does not consume the body. Those poor people also wake up at midnight and climb in the middle of the night.What's more, Jia Zhu eats exquisite food every day, and has medicine tonic.How can the body be corrupted to such an extent.So he said perfunctorily as Jia Ke: "I know about this, I'll go back and ask, you don't have to worry about it. It's up to you not to be brave, learn martial arts step by step."

Looking at Jia Zheng's expression, Jia Ke knew that he didn't take his words to heart, but he had tried his best.As for what happens to Jia Zhu in the future, it can only depend on God's will.

So Jia Ke recognized Jia Zheng again, got into the carriage, and went out of the corner gate.

The motorcade was walking on Ningrong Street, Jia Ke raised the curtain, looked at the two bustling streets, full of melancholy.

Jia Ke and his convoy left the capital and headed straight for Xiacaozhuang. They had nothing to say all the way back to Xiacaozhuang in the evening.

At the gate of the village, someone saw the soldiers coming back and cheered loudly, so more and more people gathered.

Seeing this situation, Jia Ke pushed the boat along the way. After telling the guards to regroup in three days, he asked the guards to disband on the spot and go home to reunite with their families.After all, they have been exhausted for several days, and some of them even sleepless.It's time to give them a good rest.

And Jia Ke took Qian Mao and his family members back to his home in the middle of the village, and saw Chuncao and Qiaolian greeted him at the door. When they saw Jia Ke coming, they immediately ran up to grab him Jia Ke didn't let go of her arm.

Everyone in the family welcomed Jia Ke into the hall together. Among them, Lin Zhixiao's daughter-in-law didn't find her husband in the team, and her anxious eyes were red, but seeing that everyone welcomed Jia Ke, she couldn't come forward to ask. I can only worry about it below.

After Jia Ke took his seat in the hall, Lin Zhixiao's family hurriedly asked, "I don't know where my man is? Why didn't you come back with him? Could it be that he made some mistakes and was punished by him?"

Seeing her anxious look, Jia Ke ignored her impoliteness and said to her, "Sister-in-law Lin, don't worry, Lin Zhixiao has now been appointed as the chief steward of our Rongguo Mansion, which is a great joy. In a day or two The soldiers have rested, and I will send them to send you back to the capital to reunite with him."

Lin Zhixiao's family was overjoyed, he was already dissatisfied with coming to this country, but she also knew what Lin Zhixiao told her, so she followed, but after all, she was not very satisfied with the life in the country.I have always longed to return to Jia's mansion, and now I heard that my man has become the chief steward of Jia's mansion, and I am about to reunite with him, so I immediately burst into smiles.

Jia Ke comforted Lin Zhixiao's family, then turned around and said to everyone: "This is Qian Mao, and he will be our family's housekeeper and accountant from now on. Go to him if you have anything to do."

After speaking, he turned back to Qian Mao and said, "Our family has a small population, and everyone has to share several responsibilities. Your daughter-in-law will go to the kitchen to help out. Otherwise, there are so many of us, and Miss Chuncao can't do this alone. You have a lot of food. You have a son and a daughter, you can arrange it yourself. There are still rooms at home, so you choose how many to live in."

Jia Ke was really tired these days, and saw that everyone had nothing else to do.I got up and went back to the back house to rest.
