An old lady's life

Jia Hu has stayed in Fengcheng for almost a month, and followed two cousins ​​to see the naval and army performances in Fengcheng. This was the first time he saw such a magnificent scene, which aroused the masculine pride in his heart.

The sea in summer is always particularly dangerous. It comes from the sea and from pirates. Pirates are always hard to get rid of, and crops will emerge again after they are cut.

It was the first time that Jia Hu heard such a statement from his second cousin, and it was really fresh for Jia Hu.

"When I first came here, I was not used to it. The wind was strong, the air was dry, and my throat was itchy every day. Especially when I saw water, I felt dizzy. I was trained by your uncle for a month before I could overcome this difficulty." Shi Nai was full of emotion, "Later when your third cousin came here, it was the same. Your third cousin lost a full ten catties in a month."

Seeing the miserable state of the third brother, he felt the same while gloating.When he first came, Fengcheng's navy was not mature enough, but he built it bit by bit with his participation, and now it seems that he has a sense of accomplishment.

Jia Hu stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the waves and waves. The water is gentle, but also the most ruthless.It can moisten the throat, and it can also overturn a big ship when a wave comes.

"It's amazing!" Jia Hu sighed sincerely, with admiration for the two cousins, and admiration for all the soldiers in Fengcheng!

Shi Nai slapped Jia Hu on the shoulder heavily: "We are already old, and the next generation will rule the world from now on."

Jia Hu smiled, and glanced at the big rough hands on his shoulders, "Second Cousin is too modest, when you were in your prime, we were still very immature."

"Hahaha!" Shi Nai laughed out loud.

After getting off the boat, Jia Hu went back to the Shi's house first. Just after entering the second door, he was caught by two cousins ​​again. He played with the two younger cousins ​​for a while, coaxed them well, and then took the handed over by the housekeeper of the Shi's house. letter.

"Is it a letter from Beijing again? I haven't seen Big Brother and them yet!"

The two little guys yearn for people and things in Beijing, but when it comes to returning to Beijing, they are reluctant to part with their parents.

"Grandmother..." Jia Hu couldn't help laughing, every time his grandmother mentioned his marriage, he didn't know how to reply.

I read the letters from my grandfather and grandmother, then my grandmother, my younger siblings, and finally my parents.

"Mother, really, do I look like someone who can't get a wife?" Jia Hu shook his head, and had already selected seven or eight candidates, waiting for him to return to Beijing to see.

A few attendants lowered their heads and snickered, their young master is a well-known handsome man in Beijing, that is, he is too low-key, otherwise many women would admire him.

"Pearl is also 13 years old. I'm afraid she will grow a lot taller. It is a kind of affirmation if someone takes a fancy to her."

"Second aunt is pregnant?" Jia Hu said in surprise, "That's great..." After thinking for a while, "Hey, younger siblings are all fine."

He calculated the time in his mind, and he must go home for the New Year at the end of this year, so he must be able to catch up with the baby's birth.He couldn't help but think of the things before he was six years old, and he couldn't remember those difficult years in a trance.

Jia Hu suppressed the smile on his face, turned his head to look at his followers, and ordered: "Get ready, we will leave in five days."

There were eighteen people who came out with Jia Hu, including the two servants who served him, and the rest were guards arranged by the mansion.

Along the way, they were already familiar with each other and cooperated tacitly. Hearing what the young master said, the leader of the guard immediately nodded.

Shi Nai and Shi Ding didn't keep any nephews, so only his two younger cousins ​​were crying.

"Big cousin, can you not go back? How nice it is to live in our house!"

"Big cousin, if you leave, no one will play with us. Mother yells at me, and no one intercedes when dad beats me. I'm sure my ass will bloom!"

Shi Nai, Zhao Shi, and Shi Ding Sun couldn't laugh or cry, Zhao and Sun hugged their sons quickly, and Jia Hu squeezed the cheeks of the two cousins ​​respectively.

"Don't cry, you will return to Beijing sooner or later, and then you can see your big cousin again." Crying so sad, do you know if it is true or not?He knew that the two little guys were the best at putting on a show.

"Why don't you go back to Beijing with your eldest cousin? The capital is very lively. There are many brothers and sisters playing with you. Uncle also misses his two little grandchildren very much."

Shi Ting Shiyan immediately wiped his face with his sleeve, and then hugged his mother's neck tightly.

"Then let's stop crying, big cousin, you can go, I won't go back to Beijing."

"You must be trying to kidnap and sell us, so we won't be fooled!"

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry at once, Shi Nai and Shi Ding personally sent Jia Hu out of the city until there was no one in sight.

After leaving Fengcheng, it’s only a ten-day journey to Huizhou. This time, Jia Hu will take a trip to the mountains and rivers. He will no longer look for academies to compete in knowledge. When he encounters a lively market, he will go shopping and buy some local specialties. Then they were sealed up by category and sent from the post station to the capital.

On this day, I happened to come to the boundary of Chongzhou. A group of carriages stopped at the fork in the road.

"Eldest young master, what are your orders?" The head guard turned his horse back.

"I suddenly remembered that the second aunt and second uncle are in Chongzhou, so let's go to Chongzhou instead." I didn't plan to go to Chongzhou at first, but I missed some roads before. Now that I'm here, I have to visit my second aunt and second uncle.

It was already evening, and after walking for less than an hour, it was dark, and if I missed the place, I could only sleep in the wild tonight.

Fortunately, the guards who explored the road found a ruined temple on the top of the mountain ahead. Although the temple was leaky, it could shelter from the wind and rain.

In the middle of the night, a burst of noise and fire woke up the people in the temple.

The guards immediately surrounded him to ensure Jia Hu's safety. The guards put out the fire and waited for the crowd holding torches to approach in the dark.

But first came a tall and thick man with a big knife. He was about to enter the ruined temple to avoid a temporary crisis, but when he saw the white horse at the entrance of the ruined temple, he immediately untied the horse rope, got on the horse and left.

Seeing this, the guard head popped a stone, hitting the back of the man's head, and he fell to the ground in response. The guard head whistled again, and the white horse returned automatically.

At this time, those people holding torches came to find them, and seeing that they were all wearing government uniforms, they were relieved to know that they were from the government.

"Boss, the fugitive is here!" The person who was going to leave on horseback at first turned out to be a fugitive from the government.

After learning from the yamen servants, they are the yamen servants of the Chongzhou government office. They have been chasing the murderer since nightfall.

Jia Hu glanced at the so-called murderer, his eyes were dead silent, he didn't look like a vicious person who killed so many people in a row.

The yamen servants pressed the murderer back to Chongzhou City all night. After dawn, Jia Hu and his party set off for Chongzhou City and arrived around noon.

When Jia Xinyao received the notice from the housekeeper, she hurried out from the backyard immediately. When she saw that it was her eldest nephew, she was overjoyed.

"Second Aunt, how are you lately?" Jia Hu cupped his hands and saluted.

"Hu'er, is it really you?!" Jia Xinyao walked down the steps and couldn't help but grabbed her nephew's arm, "Second Aunt hasn't seen you for several years, come in!"

Ever since her two daughters got married, she hadn't returned to Beijing. The arrival of someone from Beijing, who was her natal nephew, made her very happy.

The housekeeper settled the entourage, and Jia Hu followed her aunt into the house, "Not long ago, I went to my sister-in-law to pass a letter, knowing that you are going back to Beijing, I never thought you would come to my aunt..."

The aunt and nephew had a conversation, Jia Xinyao arranged lunch, and Zhang Shuo and his son came back in the middle of the afternoon.

Jia Hu talked with his uncle about the experience on the road, and also about what happened last night, but Zhang Shuo frowned: "Actually, I think there is something strange about this matter, but it is a matter of Wanzhou. I haven't read the case file yet. Not busy."

"Seven or eight people died, it's a big case, and the death penalty requires the approval of the Ministry of Punishment, which happens to be the father's responsibility." Jia Hu smiled.

Zhang Shuo also smiled: "Yes, I will write a letter to your father, but I'm afraid that after he is sent back to Wanzhou, he won't be able to wait for the Ministry of Punishment to reaffirm the order."

"Chongzhou is not close to Wanzhou, why not send it directly to the capital?" Wouldn't it be easy to not send him back to the original place, but to the capital instead?

Zhang Shuo thought for a while and nodded, and went to see the strong man in the prison the next day. In the afternoon, he sent yamen guards to escort the prisoner, followed the post station carriages to Beijing, and kept his mouth shut to all the yamen guards. If there is a problem with this matter, Wanzhou Bian will not rest assured, and will definitely send someone to investigate and contact.

Jia Hu only stayed in Chongzhou for five days, and took the big and small bags prepared by Jia Xinyao on the road again. There was not much delay on the road, and when he returned to the capital, it was already mid-October from summer to early winter.

The sky had already darkened, and this was a big surprise for the Rong Mansion.It took the child almost three months to come back from Fengcheng, and he was thought to be a little later.

Although it is timid to be close to the hometown, it is not the case when it comes to Jia Hu.When he was in Fengcheng, he planned to go to Beijing after November, but the closer he got to the capital, the more he couldn't bear it, so he simply returned to Beijing quickly.

"The unfilial grandson pays respects to the grandmother." Jia Hu bowed heavily to the grandmother, and Hong Ye quickly helped her up, grabbed her grandson's arm, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"I lost weight, I grew taller, and I'm already a big man!"

Mrs. Zhang looked at her son with satisfaction in her eyes. She met her family members one by one. She had already missed the meal time. The kitchen quickly prepared hot dishes and meals, and everyone gathered around him to watch him eat.

After a while after the meal, Jia Zheng came back. According to the time, his father should be at home at this time, but he looked at the familiar faces at home, but there was no father.
