Chapter 124: Into the City

When Aunt Zhou saw Jia Zheng ask her what she had to say to Jia Ke, tears appeared in her eyes again. She really misses Jia Ke very much, but she knows that it is impossible to meet now.

So he replied to Jia Zheng: "I don't have anything to say, but I really miss his body in my heart." I don't know how he takes care of himself as a big man. ”

Jia Zheng has never cared much about these family routines, and when he saw her say this, he said casually: "If you don't worry, just send two people from home to take care of him." ”

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she was in the middle of the discussion, and asked Chuncao and Qiaolian to take care of Jia Ke in the morning, she was still thinking about how to mention it to the master, but she didn't expect the master to bring it up first.

So he pushed the boat along the way and said, "That's it, let Chuncao and Qiaolian go." They have been taking care of the eldest brother, and it will be convenient for the eldest brother to use it when the time comes. ”

Jia Zheng has never had any opinion on this kind of thing, so he agreed when he heard her say this, "Let them prepare to leave in the next two days, and I will ask Lin Zhixiao to deliver the letter and bring them over by the way." ”

Aunt Zhou was very satisfied with this arrangement, and she was very grateful to Jia Zheng for serving him comfortably.

At noon the next day, Jia Zheng came back, took out the letter in the study, added a few words of Aunt Zhou's greetings and thoughts to it, and resealed it. Ordered someone to summon Lin Zhixiao over.

Lin Zhixiao was proud of the spring breeze during this time, and after becoming the big housekeeper of Jiafu. There are always countless people around him who want to come over and have a good relationship with him. And his family also moved to a small yard, and his mother-in-law was also pregnant during this time. Good things came one after another, making him feel like he was in a dream.

That afternoon, he was taking people to count all kinds of mountain delicacies and game sent by Zhuangzi below, most of which were still alive, and they had to find a way to raise them. Wait until the masters want to eat before killing.

When I was busy working, I saw Jia Zheng's little servant waving to him. He hurried over and asked, "What's the matter?" Isn't it a master, what are your orders? ”

"Yes, the master asked me to call Uncle Lin to see him."

Lin Zhixiao heard Jia Zheng call him, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the little guy to the study.

Jia Zheng waited in the study for a short time, and saw Lin Zhixiao coming in a hurry.

Lin Zhixiao entered the house and kowtowed to Jia Zheng first, and then dared to stand up and listen to his orders.

Jia Zheng said to him: "You go to Kaiping in the past two days and send a letter to your uncle." The stakes are high in this letter, and there should be no mistakes. ”

"Don't worry, sir, I will hide the letter close to me, and I will not be separated day and night, and there will be no mistakes." Lin Zhixiao replied carefully.

Jia Zheng is very satisfied with Lin Zhixiao's performance during this time, this Lin Zhixiao is cautious and cautious, and the rent sent up this year is thirty percent more than last year, so that Jia Mansion can still have some balance this year. Based on this alone, he felt that Lin Zhixiao was ten times stronger than the original Lai Da.

I don't want him to leave for so long, but there is no one to trust in this house. That is, Lin Zhixiao can be one or two now, so he can only let him do it.

Jia Zheng instructed again: "Aunt Zhou, send the two maids that Jia Ke was serving before. You take them with you and be careful on the way. ”

Lin Zhixiao said respectfully: "Don't worry, master, I must be careful along the way." I just don't know when it's time to go? ”

"This letter is a little important, I'll send it to him quickly, you prepare it today, and leave tomorrow." Jia Zheng admonished.

"Don't worry, master, I'll prepare it today and set off early tomorrow morning. Don't dare to mistake the master. ”

Jia Zheng was also very satisfied when he saw him say this, so he asked him to go down and prepare.

After Lin Zhixiao went down, Jia Zheng sent someone to inform Aunt Zhou, telling her to leave early tomorrow morning, so that the two maids could prepare early.

Aunt Zhou received Jia Zheng's message and immediately ordered Chuncao and Qiaolian to pack their things quickly and go on the road early tomorrow morning.

Chuncao and Qiaolian didn't mention each other's preparations, and Aunt Zhou also prepared a few large bags of winter clothes for Jia Ke and asked them to bring them together.

Early the next morning, Jia Zheng sent someone to ask, are you ready?

Aunt Zhou hurriedly took Chuncao and Qiaolian to Jia Zheng's study, and as soon as she arrived at the study, she saw that Lin Zhixiao was already waiting there.

When Jia Zheng saw them coming, he told Lin Zhixiao again: "Be careful on the road, take a few more little guys, and take care of them on the road." ”

Lin Zhixiao often goes out, and he is much more familiar with the situation on the road than Jia Zheng, but the master told him to do so and respectfully agreed to it again and again.

So Lin Zhixiao took Chuncao and Qiaolian, as well as three or five small guys, and went on the road together.

I walked for more than ten days along the way before I arrived at Kaipingwei, and as soon as I arrived at Kaipingwei, I was stopped at the gate of the city.

Although the Tatars have now retreated, after all, it has only gone through the war, so the strangers are very strict, Lin Zhixiao said to the officers and soldiers defending the city that it was Jia Ke's family, and he came to deliver a letter to him on the order of Jia Ke's father.

But where did the officers and soldiers know him? Therefore, he was not allowed to enter the city casually, and he was willing to give up after careful investigation. But the two people sitting in the back car will not be ordinary people in the future, they must be Jia Ke's aunt, if they are hit by these big-headed soldiers, these two will hold a grudge in the future, but he will look good.

So he gave the officers and soldiers guarding the gate a few pieces of loose silver secretly, and the officers and soldiers also understood, and said to him kindly: "If you don't search it, you really can't enter the city." Who dares to disobey the order issued by our thousand households, if you know your adult's personal soldiers, say a name. I called him and let him bring you in. Do you think that's good? ”

Lin Zhixiao knew that this was the border pass, and the method of this little soldier was already the biggest compromise, so he hurriedly thanked him repeatedly.

"I don't know many people in the pro-soldier team, the most familiar is their captain Liu Yu, please trouble this little brother to go in and report it, just say that Lin Zhixiao came on the order of the master, he will naturally know."

The soldier who guarded the gate said hello to the people next to him and galloped towards the city.

After a while, I saw Liu Yu trotting over with a few people.

Liu Yu stepped forward and saw that it was indeed Lin Zhixiao, Liu Yu knew that Lin Zhixiao was now the chief housekeeper of Jiafu, and when he saw that he dared to slack off, he hurriedly went up to salute, "The big housekeeper is coming, so I should send a small servant to tell me in advance, and I will greet him at the gate of the city." ”

Lin Zhixiao hurriedly went up to help him up, and said with a smile: "This time, the master is in a hurry, where is it too late." ”

Liu Yu looked at the convoy and saw a carriage behind him, so he asked curiously, "Steward Lin still takes his family when he goes out?" ”

Lin Zhixiao replied to him with a smile: "How can I have that ability, these two aunts and grandmothers were sent for the uncle, and you also know them." ”

As soon as Liu Yu heard that he knew him, he knew that it was Chuncao and Qiaolian, and knew that they would be Jia Ke's aunt sooner or later. For Qiaolian, when these soldiers were in Caozhuang, they tried to hide far away, and they were very frightened by her.

Qiaolian was gentle and petty when she was to Jia Ke, but as soon as she left Jia Ke, she began to sharpen her teeth and sharp her mouth, and if she said a word, she could be pushed to the edge of the sky.

At this time, when I heard that they were coming, where did I dare to slack off? Hurry up and go over to salute them first, Chuncao and Qiaolian heard Liu Yu come to greet them in the carriage, Chuncao hurriedly said to him in the car: "Don't salute, we are all our own family, where did we get so many courtesies?" Besides, which brand we are on, how dare we accept your gift. ”

"The two girls are the uncle's side, and we naturally have to respect them."

Qiao Lian listened to what they said in the car, and said impatiently: "Hurry up and go into the city, what are you talking about here, I'm tired these days." ”

When Liu Yu heard Qiao Lian's words, he hurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate to get out of the way and let their convoy in.
