Red House Farm Stay
Chapter 70 One pile is more troublesome than one pile
Jia Zhuo pretended not to notice, and said lightly, "It's Li Hong. Why, does the third master have any business dealings with their family?"
It was like giving Bai Xi a ladder ready-made, and Bai Xi climbed down immediately, nodded in a panic and said: "No wonder it sounds so familiar, isn't it because there is not enough stock, did you take the leather from them?"
"That's right, their family doesn't have a shop of their own, and they all sell it back to supply the shop. Why, is there anything wrong with their family?"
"No, no, I just didn't expect such a coincidence to live next door to your house." Bai Xi was completely panicked, how could someone who obviously appeared only ten years later appear now?Thinking back, did my life trajectory change, that's why I met him?
She tried her best to recall, but she still couldn't think of what happened at this time in her previous life?She only remembered that the army besieged the city and many, many people died.At that time, she was protected by the boss of the Liu family and lived in the Liu family village to escape the catastrophe.She knew almost nothing about other things.
In her previous life, she was just Li Hong's concubine. At that time, Li Hong had already made a fortune, and she never talked to her about his past experiences, so she knew nothing about Li Hong's past.
"By the way, let's talk about a happy thing. The summer in the city is too hot. We used to have to study, so we couldn't move. This summer we are going to Xiaodongshan to escape the heat. Qing'er also wants to invite the third girl to play. The third grandma If you are free, it would be a bit of wild fun to go and live together for a while."
"Are you going in summer? When are you going back?" Bai Xi asked this very strangely, but Jia Zhuo didn't seem to understand.
"Come back after the autumn harvest." Jia Zhuo stared into Bai Xi's eyes and smiled softly.
"After the autumn harvest, after the autumn harvest, okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, I'll definitely go. You remember to tidy up my room, I have a lot of things." Bai Xi almost couldn't wait to agree, for fear that Jia Zhuo would regret it .
"Okay, there is nothing else in Xiaodongshan, but there are a lot of vacant rooms, so we can keep them safe." Jia Zhuo covered his mouth and smiled, "I'm not afraid to bring a lot of things."
Qing'er was accompanied by the third girl and came to say hello to Bai Xi, Jia Zhuo took the opportunity to say goodbye, and went back to the third girl's room, only telling her about Xiaodongshan's summer escape, so that she wouldn't let her slip up, "I thought of a simple way, just It’s not easy to use it at home, so I specifically said that I’m going to Xiaodongshan, and then I’ll see if I can use it.”
"This is too much trouble for you, and you have to work for your whole family." The Zhao family girl was really embarrassed.
"It's okay, we also had this plan, but we just happened to take her along, it would be even better if you could come." Jia Zhuo shook the third girl's hand, and left Zhao's house with Qing'er.
"Sister, third grandma..." Qing'er couldn't help asking.
"Before and after the autumn harvest."
"Before and after the autumn harvest." Ban'er couldn't help pinching the time, February, spring, and April palace exams. If Jia Lan is elected, the official document will be issued. If it is fast, it is possible to start in May and June.Although this is a worrying matter, it is somewhat certain that it only deals with Jia Lan.
The other is to add to the worries. The summer is over and the autumn harvest is over. At this time, many people clear the array of rice and exchange it for new rice.If the timing is ingenious, the array of rice is cleared, and the city is besieged before the new rice is replaced, how many days can the people in the city last?
How to deal with the people in the whole city, will they be willing to leave the city?This is almost an impossible task. After thinking about it, Ban'er can only sigh.
Jia Zhuo thought again and again, and finally made up his mind.
"Accompany me to see Li Hong, and I will give him a great contribution."
"Little Zhuo."
As soon as the two eyes met, they knew what the other meant.
Jia Zhuo's rice seeds can be harvested twice a year, and the rice seeds with amazing yields have been circled in Xiaodongshan's backyard. Yoko personally takes care of them and sows them every year to ensure that the seeds are up-to-date.
Like corn, the year-by-year reduction in production eventually stabilized at an amazing but still reasonable output, but two crops a year have remained stable and unchanged.
There was never enough grain to be harvested twice a year in the Da Viet Dynasty, and only corn appeared. Jia Zhuo thought that this might be the reason for the small population of Da Viet.Anyone who is an emperor hopes to have as many subjects as possible under his rule.Especially in the farming society, it is not an exaggeration to say that such a change is earth-shaking.
Jia Zhuo's letter was handed over to Li Hong, and Ban'er looked into Li Hong's eyes and said, "Help us hand it over to Prince Suqing's son. His personal guard bought corn seeds from us. Now, there are I want to give him something more important. I have already written the specific content in the letter. We met once, and I dare not say what kind of relationship there is. I can only say that if you can help me do it, you will definitely reciprocate in the future .”
After Ban'er finished speaking, he put two golden scorpions into his hands, "These are the golden scorpions that the guards paid for buying corn seeds back then."
"Believe me, this letter is good for you and not bad." Jia Zhuo also looked at Li Hong, thinking to himself, if Wang Gou'er was willing to marry his daughter to him in his previous life, his character would at least be acceptable.
"Who do you think I am, what are the advantages and disadvantages? I guess it's a big deal just because you are so prudent. Is it not enough for you to help me? Don't talk about other things in return, Hong will definitely Live up to what was entrusted.”
Jia Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned against Ban'er's body as soon as his legs softened. Ban'er stretched out his hand very naturally to support her waist.Seeing the tacit understanding between the two for a long time, Li Hong's ears started to feel feverish.
Only then did Ban'er realize that Li Hong was unnatural, he coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then I'll leave it to you."
In the backyard of the Wang family, on a bench, two people sat back to back.
"I don't know if it's okay, what if he is a tyrant? Otherwise, let's say there is a plague in the city." Jia Zhuo began to worry about gains and losses, and then shook his head in denial, "No, no, I'm afraid he will be punished by the yamen servants before he goes around the city for a week." caught."
"Haunted, what do you think about haunted? No, no, no, there must be some people who don't believe it, and are not afraid."
"Do your best and obey the destiny." Ban'er turned around and wrapped Jia Zhuo in his arms, grabbing her hand with both hands, "If we don't do anything, we are cold-blooded, if we do everything, That's life."
"Is it fate?" Jia Zhuo, who had been tossing and turning in the warm arms of Ban'er for many nights, muttered, tilted his head, and fell asleep.
The next day, Jia Zhuo woke up from his own bed, feeling ashamed.It's not a child who fell asleep while talking.
Fortunately, the whole family was fine, only Ban'er couldn't stop smiling at her when he was having breakfast.Laughing, she got annoyed and kicked her under the table.
"Ah, who kicked me." Qing'er suddenly called out.
Jia Zhuo said calmly, "It must be your brother."
"Brother, why did you kick me?" Qing'er turned her head with a look of disbelief.
"I saw a bug crawling over." Ban'er was more calm, with an innocent face on his face.
"You guys just eat, it's early in the morning, what are you playing?" Mrs. Liu couldn't stand it any longer, and kept staring at Jia Zhuo's people, when did she see the table go down.Only a silly girl like Qing'er would believe that she really was looking for bugs, so let's look for them in her own head.
"In the county school, have you found out when to sign up and what to prepare?" Wang Gou'er finished his gruel and changed the subject more calmly.
"I got it clear, Master only has one class every five days, and you can just study at home on weekdays. If you don't understand something, you can ask anytime. You don't need to study, but you should give some gifts." Ban'er replied .
"Of course, the ceremony cannot be discarded. Ask your mother to get the money to prepare the ceremony. I will go with you some other day to make a good impression on the master." Wang Gou'er touched the pipe at his waist, whether he was happy or not. Whether he is happy or not, it is his fixed habit to touch his own pipe.
After Jia Lan took the spring exam, Ban'er also entered the county school, and the Ma family next door took the whole family back to marry their daughter-in-law, and hired someone to look after the house, which was very serious.
Only Ban'er and Jia Zhuo knew in their hearts that the Ma family next door would never come back, or in other words, they would never come back in such an identity.
Li Wan returned to Jinling and lived in the house that his family had bought. Together with Jia Lan, he went back to Li's house after the spring examination to visit the old lady and the old lady.
"You really don't want to move back?" Old Master Li sighed.
"Brother Lang is going to marry a wife and start a family. Why don't you stay in his natal family? Any girl is willing to do it. Besides, there is no such thing." Li Wan forced a smile, with tears in his eyes.
When she was a child, her parents loved her unconditionally, and she thought it would never change.Only now do I know that people are subject to change, or, it wasn't the parents who changed, but she changed, and she became Brother Lang's mother, so she was no longer purely the daughter of her parents.
"That's okay, that's okay, brother Lang is a good boy, you should worry about him more." The old lady looked at her daughter with a sore heart.The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh, so what can she do?
"When you arrive at the Golden Luan Palace, make good use of it. The emperor cherishes talents." After saying this, the old man became tired, and Li Wan took his son out of the gate of Li's house.
"Mother, fate in this world comes and goes, and if it comes, it will go."
"Yeah, when my son gets married and has a few more children, my mother will be happy." Li Wan did receive a lot of greetings, but she felt something was wrong.
Lange's spring test has passed, and none of the big families threw hydrangea balls at him. They are all the daughters of low-level officials and officials. Even if they carry the Jia family's burden, is a person so worthless?In her impression, this is not the case.
But how could she tell her son such a thing, she could only keep it in her heart, sift through those candidates, and wanted to pick out a candidate who was worthy of her son.Since we can no longer talk about family background, we should simply find someone with good looks, and she would be willing to have a lesser dowry.
"Mother, my son has a special status. If you are in Jinling, it may be difficult to choose a lady. It's better to wait until the sky is high and the sea will be broad. Maybe Shuyuan will appear instead." Jia Lan laughed at himself. He doesn't have so many thoughts about marriage for the time being. .If the mother has someone she likes, he should obey. If the mother doesn't like someone, it's better to leave it for the future.
"It's my son who has courage, but a mother can't think about it." When Li Wan thought about it, he simply put aside the matter of seeing each other. Why does a man have no wife? Don't climb high.
"By the way, your Lian's second uncle straightened Ping'er and bought a table of drinks. I won't go, but you might as well go and sit." Li Wan thought about Jia Zhuo's matter, and his heart was tangled.
"I'm going of course. Mother, please be careful about the Wang family's affairs." Jia Lan nodded, also thinking of Jia Zhuo.
"Naturally, Mother knew that she couldn't say anything, but she felt sorry for their father and daughter not being able to see each other." Li Wan was a mother, and she hated the separation of flesh and blood the most.
"I don't feel sorry for Xiao Zhuo. Although the life of the Wang family is poor, she seems to prefer to be a member of the Wang family." Jia Lan smiled wryly. The sisters in the family were scattered. After he knew what happened to Jia Zhuo, he also inquired about it. In comparison, Jia Zhuo had a good life.Thinking that he has been an ostrich for so many years, he can't help feeling depressed.
"Everything tells them to come to me. It has nothing to do with you. I stop you from listening to the outside things." Li Wan knew what his son was thinking when he made a mistake, staring at his son and sternly said.
"Whether it's wrong or right, we mother and son will bear it alone." Jia Lan looked at her mother and held her hand.
In May, chaos broke out again in Chaoping Mansion, and the Japanese pirates landed again. Longyan was furious and vowed to wipe out the pirates.The eldest prince said that he would select Jinshi who had both Chinese and martial arts skills in this subject, and serve as supervisors in the government soldiers. While supervising the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers after they cleared up the fraudulent cases, they also learned how to use troops.After this battle, cultivate talents for the imperial court.
"This statement is very much in line with my wishes, and the selection of candidates will be handed over to the emperor's son."
"Yes, I will live up to the emperor's orders." The eldest prince lowered his head and smiled, and when he looked up again, he met the eyes of Prince Zhongshun's son, and the two exchanged a tacit wink.
"Go to Chaoping Mansion to fight against the pirates?" Li Wan almost fainted, the official uniform sent by the court and the imperial order to her were like a huge swamp, swallowing her son.
"My son will return safely. Please rest assured, mother." Although Jia Lan hated the words Chaoping Mansion, he believed that it was impossible for the soldiers of the court to collude with Prince Zhongshun. Although his surname was Jia, he had a relationship with Prince Zhongshun Personal grievances, but now he is the imperial court's own inspector, representing the imperial court, so what can Prince Zhongshun do with him.
After the appointment, Ban'er's reaction was greater than anyone else's. He believed Jia Zhuo's words completely, and Bai Xi could really predict the future. In his opinion, Jia Lan would definitely die if he left.What's more, the supervisor was proposed by the eldest prince, and the relationship between the eldest prince and Prince Zhongshun has always been close.
Maybe the whole proposal was tailor-made for Jia Lan by Prince Zhongshun. Now that the official document has been issued, Jia Lan can't go if he doesn't want to.
"It can only be tough." Ban'er looked at Jia Zhuo and smiled wryly.
"How to be tough, he is not a frail scholar." Jia Zhuo was a little troubled.
"I'll figure it out." Ban'er patted Jia Zhuo on the shoulder.
"Don't try to get rid of me." Jia Zhuo frowned and bared his teeth at him.
Ban'er couldn't help reaching out to tap her lips lightly, and Jia Zhuo quickly bit his finger, leaving a ring of teeth marks.
"Okay, I won't let you go." Ban'er rubbed her hair, it was soft and slippery, as black as a forge, and it felt so good that people couldn't help rubbing it a few more times.The more I look at it, the more I feel that Xiao Zhuo looks like a kitten. Whether it is bright paws or bright teeth, they are all very cute.
Jia Lan went back to Wannian County once. He lived in Wannian County for nearly a year and met many people.Although the time is tight, he also wants to come back to socialize for a while, especially to thank Xifu for taking care of him.
There was a grand banquet in the West Mansion, and Jia Lan invited acquaintances over, so Ban'er naturally had an invitation.Even Jia Zhuo got the post, and Wu Yan, the hostess of Xifu, was in charge of hospitality.
"You're so serious. Everyone said that there will be a wedding this year, so why is it postponed?" Wu Yan couldn't help but annoyed when she saw Jia Zhuo.After all the people were settled, he talked privately with her, "Why, is it because she is a scholar now, so she has a big heart."
"It's our horoscope that coincides with the good days of this year. You know, the old man believes in this. There is only one son on the left and right, so it is inevitable to think too much. The date for next year is set, and I just left time to embroider my dowry."
"Hey, yo, I've never seen anyone talking about embroidery dowry like you. Who doesn't know that your future in-laws love you, and the needlework is bought directly from the wedding shop. I don't know."
"You even know this, so do you know about the crazy third grandmother of the Zhao family?" Jia Zhuo suddenly paused and asked her.
"You know it too. It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread far and wide." Wu Yan shook her head, heard voices outside, and went out to greet guests.
Jia Zhuo rubbed his chin. Sure enough, no matter what era, the news in the women's circle is the most well-informed, especially about the private affairs of other people's families.
The man was eating wine outside, Wu Yan sat with the female guests inside, and raised her voice to call the maids to pour the wine, "The newly brewed fruit wine is sweet and sour, it's not intoxicating, you guys try it."
Jia Zhuo took a sip, and listened to the commotion outside with a restless mind. Wu Yan patted her on the back with a smile, "The men drink theirs, and we drink ours. With the old man around, we can't start a fight. Don't worry though."
But after all, there was something on her mind, so the audience broke up, and Ban'er called Li's little maid to tell her to go out.When Jia Zhuo arrived at the second gate, he saw Ban'er's back. His back was always straight, and his broad shoulders gave him a sense of security.
Jia Zhuo smiled unnaturally, and walked forward quickly, before she could speak, Ban'er suddenly turned around, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
"How do you know it's me?" Jia Zhuo's eyes widened, his expression unconvinced.
"The sound of your footsteps is yours." Unlike everyone else, Ban'er smirked.
When Ban'er was talking, he smelled of alcohol, and Jia Zhuo realized that he had drunk a lot.
Reaching out to touch his forehead, it was slightly hot, but because of the wheat-colored complexion, the blush was not obvious.
"How much I drank, I don't know how to restrain myself."
"Brother Jia's important matter, why don't you drink two more glasses." Ban'er went to grab her hand, his slightly cold hand made him frown, "Why is it so cold, I should wear more clothes."
"Go back quickly, Qing'er must have prepared hangover soup, after drinking it, go to sleep, don't tell grandma to be worried if she smells alcohol all over your body."
Ban'er's footsteps were sloppy, Jia Zhuo stepped forward to hold his arm, blamed him and explained, and then helped him out of the gate.
When Jia Zhuo came out, he suddenly asked, "Who were you talking to just now?" It seemed that there was, perhaps, someone next to him.
"Is anyone there?" Ban'er probably had too much to drink, and he was a little confused.
At the second gate, a maid passed by, and seeing her young master standing blankly outside the second gate, she hurriedly said, "Master, young mistress is seeing off guests, do you want to go in now?"
"No, no, I'm going to see off the guests too." Li Rong staggered towards the gate.
The maid got up and thought a little strangely, didn't it mean that the young master greeted the guests without drinking much wine?Looking at it now, it must have been drunk a lot, these boys, even the young mistress dared to hide it, let's see how she sues them.
Ban'er went home and drank the wine soup, slept with his clothes on, and when the officers and soldiers came in to ask questions, he broke into his room and woke up in a daze when he heard the noise. Frowning, he asked, "What happened?"
Wang Gou'er smiled apologetically and said, "Guy, look, my son is only awake now, and besides, he is a scholar, what can he do to deserve you to come and get him?"
Hearing that it was a scholar, the yamen servant's face relaxed, and he clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, we are also responsible. We need to know where Wang Xiucai has been and what he has done since he left the Li family."
Ban'er sat up and said gently: "The official is here, there must be something important, please sit in the front hall, let me wash my face and change my clothes."
The official took a look and finally nodded.
When everything was cleared up, Ban'er went to the main room and saw the official, he cupped his hands and said, "The official has been waiting for a long time, what happened?"
"Please forgive me for not commenting on the case. You just need to tell us your whereabouts after you left Li's house."
"Ah, that's it, today's Li's treat,..." Ban'er's itinerary was very simple. In one sentence, he just fell asleep when he got home, and there was no itinerary at all.
"Didn't you go out on the way?" The official looked at him.
"I drank a little too much today, I really can't wake up even if I want to." Ban'er smiled wryly, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was thinking about what happened.
Even so, the official sentry was still inspecting the front and back yards of the Wang family before leaving.It was only when he left that he felt that Wang Tianzuo had nothing to suspect, so his face looked better.
As soon as the officer left, the whole family crowded over, and Liu patted his chest in shock, "What do you mean, what happened, will it affect our board?"
"Don't talk nonsense, how could it affect Ban'er? It's none of our business." Wang Gou'er yelled at Mrs. Liu, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "I'll go outside for a walk."
"I'll also go to Li's house to ask." Ban'er had already changed his clothes anyway, and walked out with his father.
Wang Gou'er came back first, and the news he heard was that every family who had been to Li's house for a drink at noon would be visited by officials for questioning.There were even a few who couldn't tell where they were going, and were directly invited to the Yamen for questioning.
After a while, Ban'er also came back, and he went directly to Li's West Mansion, the gate of Li's house was closed tightly, and no one would be seen when he came.
"Why don't I ask Xiao Cai." Qing'er scratched her head and said.
"No, she is serving in front of the wife. You can ask her. If she says it, she is disloyal to the master's family. If she doesn't say it, it's not easy to face your friend. Why make her difficult." Jia Zhuo shook his head.
Only then did Qing'er realize that Xiao Cai is a slave, she really shouldn't make things difficult for her, stuck out her tongue, and took back the words.
"I don't see anyone, so what about Mr. Jia?" Liu Shi suddenly asked with happiness from the side.
"Yes, if Mr. Jia is here, you should see my brother if you don't see anyone else." Naturally, the Wang family knew about Jia Lan and Jia Zhuo's brother-sister relationship. thing?"
Ban'er and Jia Zhuo looked at each other and smiled wryly. Jia Zhuo clenched his fists, "Since so many officials are handling the case, no matter what happens, there must be a solution. Let's do what we want."
Wang Gou'er looked at his son and Jia Zhuo in surprise, nodded and said, "Yes, what should you do?"
When the family members said so, the family dispersed separately. Although they were still full of doubts, the shadow of the official visit made them shut up and refused to talk about this topic again.
The next day, news finally came out one after another.
After Jia Lan had a drink, he sent the last group of guests out. He received a note at the door, and regardless of his drunkenness, he rode out alone without taking anyone with him.In the afternoon, the man didn't come back, but his horse came back with blood on it. The Li family was so frightened that they notified the county government immediately.
Mr. Qin was also one of the people who went to drink that day, and he was accompanied by the old man and Jia Lan himself. He didn't expect such a thing to happen under his rule. All stuffed into Master Qin's head, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat at that time.
Send out all the people and divide them into two groups, one group to find people, and the other group to investigate in the homes of people who have had wine.After the cold sweat broke out, what he thought of was a conspiracy. It was definitely a conspiracy. He was not sure if it was aimed at him or Jia Lan, or he wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
In the backyard of the county government office, there was a quarrel between the two. Mrs. Qin frowned and stared at him, "Let me say something. If Prince Zhongshun wants to do something, he will do it before he becomes a supervisor. What is it now, at the feet of the emperor!" Do you think he is stupid for killing the imperial court official? Could it be an accident."
"Who is Jia Lan? He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is good at riding and shooting. Otherwise, the inspector this time would not have pointed at him." Master Qin paced back and forth, his mind spinning rapidly, and he had already considered thousands of things in a short period of time. possibility.But no matter what the possibility is, if an official ordered by the imperial court is attacked under his rule, no matter how honest he is and how he loves the people, he will still end up with a bad review.
Mrs. Qin also figured this out, covered her mouth and said, "No way."
Lord Qin said bitterly: "Assembling an alliance with these people is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. One day you will die without knowing how you died." Flicking his sleeves, he left with a voice of hatred.
In the evening, Jia Lan was seen by the nearby villagers. Seeing that he was wearing good materials, he hurriedly carried him to the county seat. As soon as he was delivered to the hospital, the officials came after hearing the news.
The unconscious person was undoubtedly Jia Lan.
The doctor who set the bone, set Jia Lan's bone in front of Lord Qin, his hands were shaking, but the official saw that he was wrong, so he reported to Lord Qin and asked him to avoid it, so the doctor felt relieved to do it.
"Mr. Jia's leg may not heal so quickly. It has been injured for a hundred days, but it is really broken." The doctor honestly replied to Mr. Qin's words.
"Did it break? Are you sure?" Lord Qin felt relieved when he heard this. If he broke his leg, even the Heavenly King would not be able to blame him.
"This, the little old man is not sure. Fortunately, Mr. Jia is not injured in the brain. Wouldn't it be cheaper to ask him after he wakes up." Hearing this, the doctor immediately felt a little jiujiu in his stomach, and hurriedly dismissed it.
Mr. Qin secretly hated that they were all a bunch of old foxes, but at least they were rescued, and there was no fear of their lives. It was always luck among misfortunes.
Someone from the Li family came and carefully carried him back to the West Mansion. The entire family was full of gloom.The old man of the Li family beat his chest and stamped his feet even more, "I shouldn't have let him go out after drinking that day, but I should have stopped him, I should have held him back."
"It's my son who is to blame. When I saw him riding away, I didn't even think of sending someone to follow him. If there was someone nearby, it wouldn't be like this." Li Rong drooped his head, his face was ashen. .
Wu Yan repeatedly assigned her capable mother-in-law and maid to go there, "Be sure to take good care of it, and if something happens when you get home, be careful with your skin."
The rare serious tone, the subordinates dare not speak out, but they also know how difficult the matter is.
When the messenger arrived in Jinling, Li Wan almost fainted, not only she rushed over, but Li Wan's elder brother also rushed over.
After Jia Lan woke up, the first thing she saw was her mother's red and swollen eyes that looked like peach pits.
"Mother, what's the matter?" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a piercing pain in his left leg.As soon as his face changed, he wanted to sit up.
Jia Lan's uncle, that is, the elder of the Li family, stepped forward and held him down, "Don't move, the leg has just been connected, and it will be difficult to move at this time."
"That's right, that's right, don't move. If you want anything, I'll get it for you." Li Wan brought water and brought it to Jia Lan's lips.
Jia Lan asked in a trembling voice, "What happened to me?"
Eyes closed, the memory before coma flooded up all of a sudden.
I received a note saying that there was something about Jia Zhuo's identity and I wanted to interview him.In a hurry, he rode his horse and went to the place agreed in the contract.
result……
Seeing his son's face turning pale, Li Wan said anxiously: "Brother Lan, this has already happened, you must not suffer yourself, we will not be an official, as long as you are safe, mother can do nothing."
"Brother Lang, how did you hurt your leg? Was it an accident or someone hurt you?" asked the elder of the Li family.
"Being hurt by someone, what does that mean? Who would have a grudge against us Brother Lan?" Li Wan had been hearing all the rumors were accidents, and when he heard that he was hurt, his heart jumped out of his chest in panic. up.It seems that back in the few days when the accident happened in Jia's mansion, everyone was in danger and their future was uncertain.She hugged her son tightly, as if her heart was immersed in cold water.
She thought that she was far away from the nightmare days, but just because of this sentence, all the fear swept over her in an instant, drowning her, and she could hardly breathe.
"It was an accident, no one hurt me." Jia Lan forced the corners of his mouth to show a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Unexpectedly, what happened to that note." The elder of the Li family obviously didn't believe it.He brought a doctor over, and with his hand, he searched Jia Lan's whole body while he was unconscious, but he didn't find any notes.
"Then what's the note? I drank too much wine that day, and I felt a little heartburn. I felt uncomfortable when I thought of the people in Jia's mansion, so I went out to run and enjoy the wind. Unexpectedly, I fell off the horse because of the alcohol." Jia Lan looked at The elder of the Li family regained his composure bit by bit.
"What are you talking about now, Fei Cui, bring me the pork bone soup." Li Wan glanced at her elder brother complaining, her son was forcing him to talk so much just after he woke up.No matter how dull she is, she can still hear it. It's clearly not caring, but just wanting to know the inside story.
Is the inside story as important as his son's injury?In Li Wan's eyes, everything naturally stood aside, and only his son was the most important.
"Brother Lang is a good child, I will go back and tell the old man to help you move around the official department, and don't leave a bad comment."
The elders of the Li family returned to Jinling soon, and Jialan's mother and son lived in the East Mansion again after a few months of incident, which they thought they would never live in again.
When Ban'er and Jia Zhuo came to visit the sick, Li Wan kindly called all the servants away, so as not to let their brothers and sisters talk and be heard by others, which would make them suspicious.
"Jia Zhuo, I don't owe you anything. Although I am a man of the Jia family, it is definitely not my fault that the Jia family ended up like this. For the sake of your young age and being a victim, I will not Let this matter out, from now on, we will be strangers, please don't appear in front of me again, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will do anything."
Jia Lan looked at the younger sister, full of resentment.Why did he practice martial arts since he was a child? Seeing that Qingyun Dao was in front of him, she cut him off alive.If it weren't for the upbringing he has received for so many years that made him unable to speak evil words, what he said would probably be a hundred times worse.
Jia Zhuo twitched his lips, "I thought you would just throw the teacup in my face, after all, you are a gentleman, you can still keep silent after I broke your leg."
"You..." Jia Lan became more and more angry, and couldn't believe that she could still stand here without feeling ashamed.
Ban'er coughed slightly, and said embarrassedly: "We have good intentions."
"Good intentions, how dare you, do you think I'm a fool?" Jia Lan was so angry that he could hardly speak.
"Why don't we make a bet. According to common sense, you broke your leg and you can't move for at least three months. If you want to ride a horse to fight, you have to raise it for at least half a year. What will the officials do?" Jia Zhuo knew how to explain it. , he wouldn't believe it either. For this matter, she could only have a clear conscience. I'm afraid it would be difficult for Jia Lan to understand.
"Of course the appointment will be withdrawn and someone else will be appointed." Jia Lan said through gritted teeth.
"I bet the officials will let you take good care of your injuries. When your injuries heal, you can go to Chaoping Mansion...to die." Jia Zhuo said the last two words slowly, looking at Jia Lan quietly.
"That's your reason? It's ridiculous, you're ridiculous..." Jia Lan's anger didn't ease at all. Even if Prince Zhongshun wanted to harm him, wouldn't he have the ability to resist?They underestimated him so much, thinking that he must be meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered?
Ban'er tugged at Jia Zhuo's sleeve and shook his head lightly, not letting Jia Zhuo irritate him any more.
"Brother Jia takes good care of his illness, let's go back first." Ban'er cupped his hands and came out holding Jia Zhuo's hand.
"He'll figure it out."
"I don't care." Jia Zhuo pointed at the candied haws skewers sold in front, "Bring one home for Qing'er."
"I heard that Jinling opened a Duoluo shop, will it affect us?" Ban'er paid the money, took two sticks of candied haws, and stuffed one into Jia Zhuo's hand. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, no Changed the subject vigilantly.
"Well, I expected this day before, and I plan to give some discounts to old customers, but the impact is not too big for the time being." Jia Zhuo didn't take this matter to heart, and she could still monopolize all the markets.As long as this business can still be done, she will not lose money.
"Over Xiaodongshan, I plan to go there tomorrow, find someone to strengthen the fence, and build a few more houses." Ban'er slowly talked about his plan.
"We have a good terrain. If we really can't do it, we should cut off the road leading to Liujia Village. If the people on the other side don't have the intention to climb the mountain, they may not be able to find our home." Jia Zhuo bit the candied haws, sour and sweet, She doesn't like to eat.
Ban'er took her half-eaten candied haws, and she bit off the sugar skin, leaving only the smooth hawthorn fruit.
"Sour." Seeing him biting down, Jia Zhuo felt that his teeth were sour.
"Sweet." Ban'er ate the hawthorn fruit in a few mouthfuls without even frowning.
"How is it possible?" Jia Zhuo scolded him.
"You've eaten it, of course it's sweet." Ban'er said serious words that made people's heart skip a beat. Jia Zhuo looked around guiltily, but fortunately no one heard him, otherwise he would be ashamed to be thrown on the street.
I want to do it, but it's really inconvenient on the street.Snorted, walked ahead and ignored him.
Jia Lan lay in bed for dozens of days, and the news from the official department finally came down.The inspector is temporarily replaced by someone else, and he is given three months, and will leave immediately after three months.
Everyone in Li's West Mansion was naturally pleasantly surprised, the result was much better than they had imagined.
From the initial repressed anger to self-abandonment, to the current ecstasy, after the ecstasy, he gradually calmed down, and what came out of his heart turned out to be an unfinished bet that Jia Zhuo made with him.
How could a little girl who was not involved in government affairs at all be able to guess the final result.
You know, none of the Li family members expected this to be the result. Li Rong was still chattering beside his bed, "Brother Lang, do you know? This kind of thing is unique. It's the eldest prince who loves talents.
It was like giving Bai Xi a ladder ready-made, and Bai Xi climbed down immediately, nodded in a panic and said: "No wonder it sounds so familiar, isn't it because there is not enough stock, did you take the leather from them?"
"That's right, their family doesn't have a shop of their own, and they all sell it back to supply the shop. Why, is there anything wrong with their family?"
"No, no, I just didn't expect such a coincidence to live next door to your house." Bai Xi was completely panicked, how could someone who obviously appeared only ten years later appear now?Thinking back, did my life trajectory change, that's why I met him?
She tried her best to recall, but she still couldn't think of what happened at this time in her previous life?She only remembered that the army besieged the city and many, many people died.At that time, she was protected by the boss of the Liu family and lived in the Liu family village to escape the catastrophe.She knew almost nothing about other things.
In her previous life, she was just Li Hong's concubine. At that time, Li Hong had already made a fortune, and she never talked to her about his past experiences, so she knew nothing about Li Hong's past.
"By the way, let's talk about a happy thing. The summer in the city is too hot. We used to have to study, so we couldn't move. This summer we are going to Xiaodongshan to escape the heat. Qing'er also wants to invite the third girl to play. The third grandma If you are free, it would be a bit of wild fun to go and live together for a while."
"Are you going in summer? When are you going back?" Bai Xi asked this very strangely, but Jia Zhuo didn't seem to understand.
"Come back after the autumn harvest." Jia Zhuo stared into Bai Xi's eyes and smiled softly.
"After the autumn harvest, after the autumn harvest, okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, I'll definitely go. You remember to tidy up my room, I have a lot of things." Bai Xi almost couldn't wait to agree, for fear that Jia Zhuo would regret it .
"Okay, there is nothing else in Xiaodongshan, but there are a lot of vacant rooms, so we can keep them safe." Jia Zhuo covered his mouth and smiled, "I'm not afraid to bring a lot of things."
Qing'er was accompanied by the third girl and came to say hello to Bai Xi, Jia Zhuo took the opportunity to say goodbye, and went back to the third girl's room, only telling her about Xiaodongshan's summer escape, so that she wouldn't let her slip up, "I thought of a simple way, just It’s not easy to use it at home, so I specifically said that I’m going to Xiaodongshan, and then I’ll see if I can use it.”
"This is too much trouble for you, and you have to work for your whole family." The Zhao family girl was really embarrassed.
"It's okay, we also had this plan, but we just happened to take her along, it would be even better if you could come." Jia Zhuo shook the third girl's hand, and left Zhao's house with Qing'er.
"Sister, third grandma..." Qing'er couldn't help asking.
"Before and after the autumn harvest."
"Before and after the autumn harvest." Ban'er couldn't help pinching the time, February, spring, and April palace exams. If Jia Lan is elected, the official document will be issued. If it is fast, it is possible to start in May and June.Although this is a worrying matter, it is somewhat certain that it only deals with Jia Lan.
The other is to add to the worries. The summer is over and the autumn harvest is over. At this time, many people clear the array of rice and exchange it for new rice.If the timing is ingenious, the array of rice is cleared, and the city is besieged before the new rice is replaced, how many days can the people in the city last?
How to deal with the people in the whole city, will they be willing to leave the city?This is almost an impossible task. After thinking about it, Ban'er can only sigh.
Jia Zhuo thought again and again, and finally made up his mind.
"Accompany me to see Li Hong, and I will give him a great contribution."
"Little Zhuo."
As soon as the two eyes met, they knew what the other meant.
Jia Zhuo's rice seeds can be harvested twice a year, and the rice seeds with amazing yields have been circled in Xiaodongshan's backyard. Yoko personally takes care of them and sows them every year to ensure that the seeds are up-to-date.
Like corn, the year-by-year reduction in production eventually stabilized at an amazing but still reasonable output, but two crops a year have remained stable and unchanged.
There was never enough grain to be harvested twice a year in the Da Viet Dynasty, and only corn appeared. Jia Zhuo thought that this might be the reason for the small population of Da Viet.Anyone who is an emperor hopes to have as many subjects as possible under his rule.Especially in the farming society, it is not an exaggeration to say that such a change is earth-shaking.
Jia Zhuo's letter was handed over to Li Hong, and Ban'er looked into Li Hong's eyes and said, "Help us hand it over to Prince Suqing's son. His personal guard bought corn seeds from us. Now, there are I want to give him something more important. I have already written the specific content in the letter. We met once, and I dare not say what kind of relationship there is. I can only say that if you can help me do it, you will definitely reciprocate in the future .”
After Ban'er finished speaking, he put two golden scorpions into his hands, "These are the golden scorpions that the guards paid for buying corn seeds back then."
"Believe me, this letter is good for you and not bad." Jia Zhuo also looked at Li Hong, thinking to himself, if Wang Gou'er was willing to marry his daughter to him in his previous life, his character would at least be acceptable.
"Who do you think I am, what are the advantages and disadvantages? I guess it's a big deal just because you are so prudent. Is it not enough for you to help me? Don't talk about other things in return, Hong will definitely Live up to what was entrusted.”
Jia Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned against Ban'er's body as soon as his legs softened. Ban'er stretched out his hand very naturally to support her waist.Seeing the tacit understanding between the two for a long time, Li Hong's ears started to feel feverish.
Only then did Ban'er realize that Li Hong was unnatural, he coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then I'll leave it to you."
In the backyard of the Wang family, on a bench, two people sat back to back.
"I don't know if it's okay, what if he is a tyrant? Otherwise, let's say there is a plague in the city." Jia Zhuo began to worry about gains and losses, and then shook his head in denial, "No, no, I'm afraid he will be punished by the yamen servants before he goes around the city for a week." caught."
"Haunted, what do you think about haunted? No, no, no, there must be some people who don't believe it, and are not afraid."
"Do your best and obey the destiny." Ban'er turned around and wrapped Jia Zhuo in his arms, grabbing her hand with both hands, "If we don't do anything, we are cold-blooded, if we do everything, That's life."
"Is it fate?" Jia Zhuo, who had been tossing and turning in the warm arms of Ban'er for many nights, muttered, tilted his head, and fell asleep.
The next day, Jia Zhuo woke up from his own bed, feeling ashamed.It's not a child who fell asleep while talking.
Fortunately, the whole family was fine, only Ban'er couldn't stop smiling at her when he was having breakfast.Laughing, she got annoyed and kicked her under the table.
"Ah, who kicked me." Qing'er suddenly called out.
Jia Zhuo said calmly, "It must be your brother."
"Brother, why did you kick me?" Qing'er turned her head with a look of disbelief.
"I saw a bug crawling over." Ban'er was more calm, with an innocent face on his face.
"You guys just eat, it's early in the morning, what are you playing?" Mrs. Liu couldn't stand it any longer, and kept staring at Jia Zhuo's people, when did she see the table go down.Only a silly girl like Qing'er would believe that she really was looking for bugs, so let's look for them in her own head.
"In the county school, have you found out when to sign up and what to prepare?" Wang Gou'er finished his gruel and changed the subject more calmly.
"I got it clear, Master only has one class every five days, and you can just study at home on weekdays. If you don't understand something, you can ask anytime. You don't need to study, but you should give some gifts." Ban'er replied .
"Of course, the ceremony cannot be discarded. Ask your mother to get the money to prepare the ceremony. I will go with you some other day to make a good impression on the master." Wang Gou'er touched the pipe at his waist, whether he was happy or not. Whether he is happy or not, it is his fixed habit to touch his own pipe.
After Jia Lan took the spring exam, Ban'er also entered the county school, and the Ma family next door took the whole family back to marry their daughter-in-law, and hired someone to look after the house, which was very serious.
Only Ban'er and Jia Zhuo knew in their hearts that the Ma family next door would never come back, or in other words, they would never come back in such an identity.
Li Wan returned to Jinling and lived in the house that his family had bought. Together with Jia Lan, he went back to Li's house after the spring examination to visit the old lady and the old lady.
"You really don't want to move back?" Old Master Li sighed.
"Brother Lang is going to marry a wife and start a family. Why don't you stay in his natal family? Any girl is willing to do it. Besides, there is no such thing." Li Wan forced a smile, with tears in his eyes.
When she was a child, her parents loved her unconditionally, and she thought it would never change.Only now do I know that people are subject to change, or, it wasn't the parents who changed, but she changed, and she became Brother Lang's mother, so she was no longer purely the daughter of her parents.
"That's okay, that's okay, brother Lang is a good boy, you should worry about him more." The old lady looked at her daughter with a sore heart.The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh, so what can she do?
"When you arrive at the Golden Luan Palace, make good use of it. The emperor cherishes talents." After saying this, the old man became tired, and Li Wan took his son out of the gate of Li's house.
"Mother, fate in this world comes and goes, and if it comes, it will go."
"Yeah, when my son gets married and has a few more children, my mother will be happy." Li Wan did receive a lot of greetings, but she felt something was wrong.
Lange's spring test has passed, and none of the big families threw hydrangea balls at him. They are all the daughters of low-level officials and officials. Even if they carry the Jia family's burden, is a person so worthless?In her impression, this is not the case.
But how could she tell her son such a thing, she could only keep it in her heart, sift through those candidates, and wanted to pick out a candidate who was worthy of her son.Since we can no longer talk about family background, we should simply find someone with good looks, and she would be willing to have a lesser dowry.
"Mother, my son has a special status. If you are in Jinling, it may be difficult to choose a lady. It's better to wait until the sky is high and the sea will be broad. Maybe Shuyuan will appear instead." Jia Lan laughed at himself. He doesn't have so many thoughts about marriage for the time being. .If the mother has someone she likes, he should obey. If the mother doesn't like someone, it's better to leave it for the future.
"It's my son who has courage, but a mother can't think about it." When Li Wan thought about it, he simply put aside the matter of seeing each other. Why does a man have no wife? Don't climb high.
"By the way, your Lian's second uncle straightened Ping'er and bought a table of drinks. I won't go, but you might as well go and sit." Li Wan thought about Jia Zhuo's matter, and his heart was tangled.
"I'm going of course. Mother, please be careful about the Wang family's affairs." Jia Lan nodded, also thinking of Jia Zhuo.
"Naturally, Mother knew that she couldn't say anything, but she felt sorry for their father and daughter not being able to see each other." Li Wan was a mother, and she hated the separation of flesh and blood the most.
"I don't feel sorry for Xiao Zhuo. Although the life of the Wang family is poor, she seems to prefer to be a member of the Wang family." Jia Lan smiled wryly. The sisters in the family were scattered. After he knew what happened to Jia Zhuo, he also inquired about it. In comparison, Jia Zhuo had a good life.Thinking that he has been an ostrich for so many years, he can't help feeling depressed.
"Everything tells them to come to me. It has nothing to do with you. I stop you from listening to the outside things." Li Wan knew what his son was thinking when he made a mistake, staring at his son and sternly said.
"Whether it's wrong or right, we mother and son will bear it alone." Jia Lan looked at her mother and held her hand.
In May, chaos broke out again in Chaoping Mansion, and the Japanese pirates landed again. Longyan was furious and vowed to wipe out the pirates.The eldest prince said that he would select Jinshi who had both Chinese and martial arts skills in this subject, and serve as supervisors in the government soldiers. While supervising the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers after they cleared up the fraudulent cases, they also learned how to use troops.After this battle, cultivate talents for the imperial court.
"This statement is very much in line with my wishes, and the selection of candidates will be handed over to the emperor's son."
"Yes, I will live up to the emperor's orders." The eldest prince lowered his head and smiled, and when he looked up again, he met the eyes of Prince Zhongshun's son, and the two exchanged a tacit wink.
"Go to Chaoping Mansion to fight against the pirates?" Li Wan almost fainted, the official uniform sent by the court and the imperial order to her were like a huge swamp, swallowing her son.
"My son will return safely. Please rest assured, mother." Although Jia Lan hated the words Chaoping Mansion, he believed that it was impossible for the soldiers of the court to collude with Prince Zhongshun. Although his surname was Jia, he had a relationship with Prince Zhongshun Personal grievances, but now he is the imperial court's own inspector, representing the imperial court, so what can Prince Zhongshun do with him.
After the appointment, Ban'er's reaction was greater than anyone else's. He believed Jia Zhuo's words completely, and Bai Xi could really predict the future. In his opinion, Jia Lan would definitely die if he left.What's more, the supervisor was proposed by the eldest prince, and the relationship between the eldest prince and Prince Zhongshun has always been close.
Maybe the whole proposal was tailor-made for Jia Lan by Prince Zhongshun. Now that the official document has been issued, Jia Lan can't go if he doesn't want to.
"It can only be tough." Ban'er looked at Jia Zhuo and smiled wryly.
"How to be tough, he is not a frail scholar." Jia Zhuo was a little troubled.
"I'll figure it out." Ban'er patted Jia Zhuo on the shoulder.
"Don't try to get rid of me." Jia Zhuo frowned and bared his teeth at him.
Ban'er couldn't help reaching out to tap her lips lightly, and Jia Zhuo quickly bit his finger, leaving a ring of teeth marks.
"Okay, I won't let you go." Ban'er rubbed her hair, it was soft and slippery, as black as a forge, and it felt so good that people couldn't help rubbing it a few more times.The more I look at it, the more I feel that Xiao Zhuo looks like a kitten. Whether it is bright paws or bright teeth, they are all very cute.
Jia Lan went back to Wannian County once. He lived in Wannian County for nearly a year and met many people.Although the time is tight, he also wants to come back to socialize for a while, especially to thank Xifu for taking care of him.
There was a grand banquet in the West Mansion, and Jia Lan invited acquaintances over, so Ban'er naturally had an invitation.Even Jia Zhuo got the post, and Wu Yan, the hostess of Xifu, was in charge of hospitality.
"You're so serious. Everyone said that there will be a wedding this year, so why is it postponed?" Wu Yan couldn't help but annoyed when she saw Jia Zhuo.After all the people were settled, he talked privately with her, "Why, is it because she is a scholar now, so she has a big heart."
"It's our horoscope that coincides with the good days of this year. You know, the old man believes in this. There is only one son on the left and right, so it is inevitable to think too much. The date for next year is set, and I just left time to embroider my dowry."
"Hey, yo, I've never seen anyone talking about embroidery dowry like you. Who doesn't know that your future in-laws love you, and the needlework is bought directly from the wedding shop. I don't know."
"You even know this, so do you know about the crazy third grandmother of the Zhao family?" Jia Zhuo suddenly paused and asked her.
"You know it too. It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread far and wide." Wu Yan shook her head, heard voices outside, and went out to greet guests.
Jia Zhuo rubbed his chin. Sure enough, no matter what era, the news in the women's circle is the most well-informed, especially about the private affairs of other people's families.
The man was eating wine outside, Wu Yan sat with the female guests inside, and raised her voice to call the maids to pour the wine, "The newly brewed fruit wine is sweet and sour, it's not intoxicating, you guys try it."
Jia Zhuo took a sip, and listened to the commotion outside with a restless mind. Wu Yan patted her on the back with a smile, "The men drink theirs, and we drink ours. With the old man around, we can't start a fight. Don't worry though."
But after all, there was something on her mind, so the audience broke up, and Ban'er called Li's little maid to tell her to go out.When Jia Zhuo arrived at the second gate, he saw Ban'er's back. His back was always straight, and his broad shoulders gave him a sense of security.
Jia Zhuo smiled unnaturally, and walked forward quickly, before she could speak, Ban'er suddenly turned around, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.
"How do you know it's me?" Jia Zhuo's eyes widened, his expression unconvinced.
"The sound of your footsteps is yours." Unlike everyone else, Ban'er smirked.
When Ban'er was talking, he smelled of alcohol, and Jia Zhuo realized that he had drunk a lot.
Reaching out to touch his forehead, it was slightly hot, but because of the wheat-colored complexion, the blush was not obvious.
"How much I drank, I don't know how to restrain myself."
"Brother Jia's important matter, why don't you drink two more glasses." Ban'er went to grab her hand, his slightly cold hand made him frown, "Why is it so cold, I should wear more clothes."
"Go back quickly, Qing'er must have prepared hangover soup, after drinking it, go to sleep, don't tell grandma to be worried if she smells alcohol all over your body."
Ban'er's footsteps were sloppy, Jia Zhuo stepped forward to hold his arm, blamed him and explained, and then helped him out of the gate.
When Jia Zhuo came out, he suddenly asked, "Who were you talking to just now?" It seemed that there was, perhaps, someone next to him.
"Is anyone there?" Ban'er probably had too much to drink, and he was a little confused.
At the second gate, a maid passed by, and seeing her young master standing blankly outside the second gate, she hurriedly said, "Master, young mistress is seeing off guests, do you want to go in now?"
"No, no, I'm going to see off the guests too." Li Rong staggered towards the gate.
The maid got up and thought a little strangely, didn't it mean that the young master greeted the guests without drinking much wine?Looking at it now, it must have been drunk a lot, these boys, even the young mistress dared to hide it, let's see how she sues them.
Ban'er went home and drank the wine soup, slept with his clothes on, and when the officers and soldiers came in to ask questions, he broke into his room and woke up in a daze when he heard the noise. Frowning, he asked, "What happened?"
Wang Gou'er smiled apologetically and said, "Guy, look, my son is only awake now, and besides, he is a scholar, what can he do to deserve you to come and get him?"
Hearing that it was a scholar, the yamen servant's face relaxed, and he clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, we are also responsible. We need to know where Wang Xiucai has been and what he has done since he left the Li family."
Ban'er sat up and said gently: "The official is here, there must be something important, please sit in the front hall, let me wash my face and change my clothes."
The official took a look and finally nodded.
When everything was cleared up, Ban'er went to the main room and saw the official, he cupped his hands and said, "The official has been waiting for a long time, what happened?"
"Please forgive me for not commenting on the case. You just need to tell us your whereabouts after you left Li's house."
"Ah, that's it, today's Li's treat,..." Ban'er's itinerary was very simple. In one sentence, he just fell asleep when he got home, and there was no itinerary at all.
"Didn't you go out on the way?" The official looked at him.
"I drank a little too much today, I really can't wake up even if I want to." Ban'er smiled wryly, with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was thinking about what happened.
Even so, the official sentry was still inspecting the front and back yards of the Wang family before leaving.It was only when he left that he felt that Wang Tianzuo had nothing to suspect, so his face looked better.
As soon as the officer left, the whole family crowded over, and Liu patted his chest in shock, "What do you mean, what happened, will it affect our board?"
"Don't talk nonsense, how could it affect Ban'er? It's none of our business." Wang Gou'er yelled at Mrs. Liu, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "I'll go outside for a walk."
"I'll also go to Li's house to ask." Ban'er had already changed his clothes anyway, and walked out with his father.
Wang Gou'er came back first, and the news he heard was that every family who had been to Li's house for a drink at noon would be visited by officials for questioning.There were even a few who couldn't tell where they were going, and were directly invited to the Yamen for questioning.
After a while, Ban'er also came back, and he went directly to Li's West Mansion, the gate of Li's house was closed tightly, and no one would be seen when he came.
"Why don't I ask Xiao Cai." Qing'er scratched her head and said.
"No, she is serving in front of the wife. You can ask her. If she says it, she is disloyal to the master's family. If she doesn't say it, it's not easy to face your friend. Why make her difficult." Jia Zhuo shook his head.
Only then did Qing'er realize that Xiao Cai is a slave, she really shouldn't make things difficult for her, stuck out her tongue, and took back the words.
"I don't see anyone, so what about Mr. Jia?" Liu Shi suddenly asked with happiness from the side.
"Yes, if Mr. Jia is here, you should see my brother if you don't see anyone else." Naturally, the Wang family knew about Jia Lan and Jia Zhuo's brother-sister relationship. thing?"
Ban'er and Jia Zhuo looked at each other and smiled wryly. Jia Zhuo clenched his fists, "Since so many officials are handling the case, no matter what happens, there must be a solution. Let's do what we want."
Wang Gou'er looked at his son and Jia Zhuo in surprise, nodded and said, "Yes, what should you do?"
When the family members said so, the family dispersed separately. Although they were still full of doubts, the shadow of the official visit made them shut up and refused to talk about this topic again.
The next day, news finally came out one after another.
After Jia Lan had a drink, he sent the last group of guests out. He received a note at the door, and regardless of his drunkenness, he rode out alone without taking anyone with him.In the afternoon, the man didn't come back, but his horse came back with blood on it. The Li family was so frightened that they notified the county government immediately.
Mr. Qin was also one of the people who went to drink that day, and he was accompanied by the old man and Jia Lan himself. He didn't expect such a thing to happen under his rule. All stuffed into Master Qin's head, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat at that time.
Send out all the people and divide them into two groups, one group to find people, and the other group to investigate in the homes of people who have had wine.After the cold sweat broke out, what he thought of was a conspiracy. It was definitely a conspiracy. He was not sure if it was aimed at him or Jia Lan, or he wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
In the backyard of the county government office, there was a quarrel between the two. Mrs. Qin frowned and stared at him, "Let me say something. If Prince Zhongshun wants to do something, he will do it before he becomes a supervisor. What is it now, at the feet of the emperor!" Do you think he is stupid for killing the imperial court official? Could it be an accident."
"Who is Jia Lan? He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and is good at riding and shooting. Otherwise, the inspector this time would not have pointed at him." Master Qin paced back and forth, his mind spinning rapidly, and he had already considered thousands of things in a short period of time. possibility.But no matter what the possibility is, if an official ordered by the imperial court is attacked under his rule, no matter how honest he is and how he loves the people, he will still end up with a bad review.
Mrs. Qin also figured this out, covered her mouth and said, "No way."
Lord Qin said bitterly: "Assembling an alliance with these people is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. One day you will die without knowing how you died." Flicking his sleeves, he left with a voice of hatred.
In the evening, Jia Lan was seen by the nearby villagers. Seeing that he was wearing good materials, he hurriedly carried him to the county seat. As soon as he was delivered to the hospital, the officials came after hearing the news.
The unconscious person was undoubtedly Jia Lan.
The doctor who set the bone, set Jia Lan's bone in front of Lord Qin, his hands were shaking, but the official saw that he was wrong, so he reported to Lord Qin and asked him to avoid it, so the doctor felt relieved to do it.
"Mr. Jia's leg may not heal so quickly. It has been injured for a hundred days, but it is really broken." The doctor honestly replied to Mr. Qin's words.
"Did it break? Are you sure?" Lord Qin felt relieved when he heard this. If he broke his leg, even the Heavenly King would not be able to blame him.
"This, the little old man is not sure. Fortunately, Mr. Jia is not injured in the brain. Wouldn't it be cheaper to ask him after he wakes up." Hearing this, the doctor immediately felt a little jiujiu in his stomach, and hurriedly dismissed it.
Mr. Qin secretly hated that they were all a bunch of old foxes, but at least they were rescued, and there was no fear of their lives. It was always luck among misfortunes.
Someone from the Li family came and carefully carried him back to the West Mansion. The entire family was full of gloom.The old man of the Li family beat his chest and stamped his feet even more, "I shouldn't have let him go out after drinking that day, but I should have stopped him, I should have held him back."
"It's my son who is to blame. When I saw him riding away, I didn't even think of sending someone to follow him. If there was someone nearby, it wouldn't be like this." Li Rong drooped his head, his face was ashen. .
Wu Yan repeatedly assigned her capable mother-in-law and maid to go there, "Be sure to take good care of it, and if something happens when you get home, be careful with your skin."
The rare serious tone, the subordinates dare not speak out, but they also know how difficult the matter is.
When the messenger arrived in Jinling, Li Wan almost fainted, not only she rushed over, but Li Wan's elder brother also rushed over.
After Jia Lan woke up, the first thing she saw was her mother's red and swollen eyes that looked like peach pits.
"Mother, what's the matter?" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a piercing pain in his left leg.As soon as his face changed, he wanted to sit up.
Jia Lan's uncle, that is, the elder of the Li family, stepped forward and held him down, "Don't move, the leg has just been connected, and it will be difficult to move at this time."
"That's right, that's right, don't move. If you want anything, I'll get it for you." Li Wan brought water and brought it to Jia Lan's lips.
Jia Lan asked in a trembling voice, "What happened to me?"
Eyes closed, the memory before coma flooded up all of a sudden.
I received a note saying that there was something about Jia Zhuo's identity and I wanted to interview him.In a hurry, he rode his horse and went to the place agreed in the contract.
result……
Seeing his son's face turning pale, Li Wan said anxiously: "Brother Lan, this has already happened, you must not suffer yourself, we will not be an official, as long as you are safe, mother can do nothing."
"Brother Lang, how did you hurt your leg? Was it an accident or someone hurt you?" asked the elder of the Li family.
"Being hurt by someone, what does that mean? Who would have a grudge against us Brother Lan?" Li Wan had been hearing all the rumors were accidents, and when he heard that he was hurt, his heart jumped out of his chest in panic. up.It seems that back in the few days when the accident happened in Jia's mansion, everyone was in danger and their future was uncertain.She hugged her son tightly, as if her heart was immersed in cold water.
She thought that she was far away from the nightmare days, but just because of this sentence, all the fear swept over her in an instant, drowning her, and she could hardly breathe.
"It was an accident, no one hurt me." Jia Lan forced the corners of his mouth to show a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Unexpectedly, what happened to that note." The elder of the Li family obviously didn't believe it.He brought a doctor over, and with his hand, he searched Jia Lan's whole body while he was unconscious, but he didn't find any notes.
"Then what's the note? I drank too much wine that day, and I felt a little heartburn. I felt uncomfortable when I thought of the people in Jia's mansion, so I went out to run and enjoy the wind. Unexpectedly, I fell off the horse because of the alcohol." Jia Lan looked at The elder of the Li family regained his composure bit by bit.
"What are you talking about now, Fei Cui, bring me the pork bone soup." Li Wan glanced at her elder brother complaining, her son was forcing him to talk so much just after he woke up.No matter how dull she is, she can still hear it. It's clearly not caring, but just wanting to know the inside story.
Is the inside story as important as his son's injury?In Li Wan's eyes, everything naturally stood aside, and only his son was the most important.
"Brother Lang is a good child, I will go back and tell the old man to help you move around the official department, and don't leave a bad comment."
The elders of the Li family returned to Jinling soon, and Jialan's mother and son lived in the East Mansion again after a few months of incident, which they thought they would never live in again.
When Ban'er and Jia Zhuo came to visit the sick, Li Wan kindly called all the servants away, so as not to let their brothers and sisters talk and be heard by others, which would make them suspicious.
"Jia Zhuo, I don't owe you anything. Although I am a man of the Jia family, it is definitely not my fault that the Jia family ended up like this. For the sake of your young age and being a victim, I will not Let this matter out, from now on, we will be strangers, please don't appear in front of me again, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will do anything."
Jia Lan looked at the younger sister, full of resentment.Why did he practice martial arts since he was a child? Seeing that Qingyun Dao was in front of him, she cut him off alive.If it weren't for the upbringing he has received for so many years that made him unable to speak evil words, what he said would probably be a hundred times worse.
Jia Zhuo twitched his lips, "I thought you would just throw the teacup in my face, after all, you are a gentleman, you can still keep silent after I broke your leg."
"You..." Jia Lan became more and more angry, and couldn't believe that she could still stand here without feeling ashamed.
Ban'er coughed slightly, and said embarrassedly: "We have good intentions."
"Good intentions, how dare you, do you think I'm a fool?" Jia Lan was so angry that he could hardly speak.
"Why don't we make a bet. According to common sense, you broke your leg and you can't move for at least three months. If you want to ride a horse to fight, you have to raise it for at least half a year. What will the officials do?" Jia Zhuo knew how to explain it. , he wouldn't believe it either. For this matter, she could only have a clear conscience. I'm afraid it would be difficult for Jia Lan to understand.
"Of course the appointment will be withdrawn and someone else will be appointed." Jia Lan said through gritted teeth.
"I bet the officials will let you take good care of your injuries. When your injuries heal, you can go to Chaoping Mansion...to die." Jia Zhuo said the last two words slowly, looking at Jia Lan quietly.
"That's your reason? It's ridiculous, you're ridiculous..." Jia Lan's anger didn't ease at all. Even if Prince Zhongshun wanted to harm him, wouldn't he have the ability to resist?They underestimated him so much, thinking that he must be meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered?
Ban'er tugged at Jia Zhuo's sleeve and shook his head lightly, not letting Jia Zhuo irritate him any more.
"Brother Jia takes good care of his illness, let's go back first." Ban'er cupped his hands and came out holding Jia Zhuo's hand.
"He'll figure it out."
"I don't care." Jia Zhuo pointed at the candied haws skewers sold in front, "Bring one home for Qing'er."
"I heard that Jinling opened a Duoluo shop, will it affect us?" Ban'er paid the money, took two sticks of candied haws, and stuffed one into Jia Zhuo's hand. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, no Changed the subject vigilantly.
"Well, I expected this day before, and I plan to give some discounts to old customers, but the impact is not too big for the time being." Jia Zhuo didn't take this matter to heart, and she could still monopolize all the markets.As long as this business can still be done, she will not lose money.
"Over Xiaodongshan, I plan to go there tomorrow, find someone to strengthen the fence, and build a few more houses." Ban'er slowly talked about his plan.
"We have a good terrain. If we really can't do it, we should cut off the road leading to Liujia Village. If the people on the other side don't have the intention to climb the mountain, they may not be able to find our home." Jia Zhuo bit the candied haws, sour and sweet, She doesn't like to eat.
Ban'er took her half-eaten candied haws, and she bit off the sugar skin, leaving only the smooth hawthorn fruit.
"Sour." Seeing him biting down, Jia Zhuo felt that his teeth were sour.
"Sweet." Ban'er ate the hawthorn fruit in a few mouthfuls without even frowning.
"How is it possible?" Jia Zhuo scolded him.
"You've eaten it, of course it's sweet." Ban'er said serious words that made people's heart skip a beat. Jia Zhuo looked around guiltily, but fortunately no one heard him, otherwise he would be ashamed to be thrown on the street.
I want to do it, but it's really inconvenient on the street.Snorted, walked ahead and ignored him.
Jia Lan lay in bed for dozens of days, and the news from the official department finally came down.The inspector is temporarily replaced by someone else, and he is given three months, and will leave immediately after three months.
Everyone in Li's West Mansion was naturally pleasantly surprised, the result was much better than they had imagined.
From the initial repressed anger to self-abandonment, to the current ecstasy, after the ecstasy, he gradually calmed down, and what came out of his heart turned out to be an unfinished bet that Jia Zhuo made with him.
How could a little girl who was not involved in government affairs at all be able to guess the final result.
You know, none of the Li family members expected this to be the result. Li Rong was still chattering beside his bed, "Brother Lang, do you know? This kind of thing is unique. It's the eldest prince who loves talents.
