When Lin Zhixiao heard that Jia Ke was leading people to pursue the Tatars, he was very surprised and hurriedly asked, "Haven't you already repelled the Tatars?" Why the pursuit? ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "I don't know about this, the uncle has his own intentions when he thinks about it like this." I just need to do what my uncle tells me, and I don't care about anything else. ”

"Rest for now, I still have something to do." After Liu Yu finished speaking, he left first.

Lin Zhixiao has stayed in this room since then, waiting for Jia Ke to come back. The first wait is seven or eight days.

Suddenly, one day the little guy came to report that Jia Ke had returned, Lin Zhixiao hurriedly walked out, and met Liu Yu halfway through.

"Uncle Lin, I was about to look for you, our uncle is back, I heard the report from the soldiers just now, the uncle has entered the city, driving a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, let's hurry up to the gate of the mansion to greet you." Liu Yu said anxiously.

Lin Zhixiao said this, hurriedly walked out with him, and said to Liu Yu halfway through: "Send someone to inform Chuncao and Qiaolian, although they are not yet on the brand, but after all, the relationship with the uncle is not ordinary, and they can be regarded as half of the uncle's family, if they are not notified to be remembered by them, we will have a good look in the future." ”

Liu Yu patted his head and said, "How did I forget them." These two aunts and grandmothers are not easy to mess with. ”

So he grabbed a small servant and asked him to go to the second gate to report inside, and told the inside that the uncle was back, and asked them to come out to greet him quickly.

Lin Zhixiao and Liu Yu waited at the gate for a short time, and Chuncao and Qiaolian hurriedly ran out, followed by Lan Xiang.

It didn't take long for Jia Ke and two deputy thousand households to come from the long street. Jia Ke rode the fire dragon horse to take the lead, and the two deputy thousand households accompanied each other on both sides, and then followed the team of people, which was incomparably majestic.

When he arrived at the gate of Qianhu Mansion, Jia Ke turned over and dismounted, Lin Zhixiao and Liu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Jia Ke was stunned when he saw Lin Zhixiao, and then he understood that there must be something in Beijing for him to pass the word, so he smiled at him.

Then Jia Ke saw Chuncao and Qiaolian behind them, and Jia Ke was completely unprepared for the arrival of the two of them, but now was not the time to ask.

Jia Ke took people directly into the hall of Qianhu Mansion, and instructed Huang Baifeng to bring back the cattle, sheep and horses in the hall, register them in detail, and then breed them properly. And the soldiers who died in this battle were registered, and then reported to the imperial court for pension.

After arranging all these things, let Feng Mo arrange for the cavalry to return to the camp to rest, and help them take three days off, these three days of wine and meat are enough for them to have a good time. These soldiers who went out with him had worked too hard during this time. Can't help but let them relax.

After sending Huang Baifeng and Feng Mo away, Jia Ke summoned Lin Zhixiao in the study.

As soon as Lin Zhixiao entered the door, he quickly knelt down and saluted Jia Ke, "Uncle, I haven't sent a letter to my family for so long, I want to kill the minions." ”

Jia Ke smiled and exchanged a few words with him, and then got to the point. Ask him why he came this time.

Lin Zhixiao hurriedly said to Jia Ke that it was the master who ordered him to come to deliver the letter, and by the way, he helped Aunt Zhou send the two girls, Chuncao and Qiaolian, so that she could take care of Jia Ke's daily life.

After Lin Zhixiao finished speaking, he took out Jia Zheng's letter from his arms and handed it to Jia Ke with both hands, Jia Ke took the letter, opened it and took a look, it turned out that this Wang Tao still had some ability, and he was able to go through Wang Ziteng's door.

This letter was written by Jia Zheng, who told him about the exchange of interests between him and Wang Ziteng. Roughly the Jia family let Wang Tao go, Wang Ziteng and Wang Tao managed to upgrade Kaipingwei to the town guard, and Jia Ke was naturally upgraded to a garrison.

After Jia Ke read the letter, his thoughts were exactly the same as Jia Zheng's meaning in the letter, and now he will endure it for a while, wait for the promotion, and talk about it later.

If it can be upgraded to a garrison, it will also be a big leap for Jia Ke's career. From then on, in Kaipingwei, according to the agreement between Wang Tao and Jiafu, he was able to command 10,000 horses and take charge alone.

Even ordinary commanders do not have such majesty.

Since Jia Ke had made a decision, he no longer dragged his feet and said to Lin Zhixiao, "I'll write a letter in a while, and then you take it back to the house and tell your father that I have seen his affairs." Let it all go as he commands, that he may not be anxious. ”

Then Jia Ke jokingly said to Lin Zhixiao: "When are you going to go back, do you want to stay for two more days and take a look at the scenery of the nearby grassland." ”

Lin Zhixiao smiled bitterly and said to Jia Ke: "Uncle, don't make fun of me, where do I have time to travel in the mountains and rivers." After receiving the uncle's letter, I will rush back tomorrow. Don't dare to delay the affairs of the master and the uncle. ”

"Since you are in such a hurry, it will not be difficult for you to do so, I will write the letter tonight, and you can leave tomorrow." Jia Ke said.

After sending Lin Zhixiao away, Jia Ke returned to the back house, and as soon as he entered the door, he was hugged into the room by Chuncao and Qiaolian, who had been waiting for a long time, and then waited for him to change his clothes and wash his hands.

Jia Ke was also tossed by them, and when he finished grooming and sat down again, Jia Ke asked them: "Hello aunt at home, what do you have to say?" ”

Qiao Lian hurriedly said: "Everything is fine at home, my aunt is now a good concubine, and I heard that I will send my name to the family tree in a few days." ”

Chuncao said on the side: "How many days have it been, and now the ancestral hall must have been opened, and the name is recorded on the family tree." ”

Jia Ke listened to their words, nodded with satisfaction, and felt that this was also what it should be, since ancient times, mothers and sons have been expensive, and now he has become a four-grade guard, and he is also a figure in the border pass. As his biological mother, Aunt Zhou naturally has to be treated preferentially.

Jia Ke then said to them: "Since you are here, stay in peace, I haven't seen me for so many days, and I miss you a lot." If you have this housekeeper, you can learn more from Lanxiang, how can you manage the housekeeper if you don't know the big characters? ”

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Chuncao and Qiaolian's faces became ugly, they are both from inferior backgrounds, where are they qualified to read and write?

And Lan Xiang stood there quietly at this time, still with that trademark smile on her face. Lan Xiangyuan is not an ordinary family, but also from an official family, but his father committed a crime, and the family was sent to the border and sold as official slaves, because he was really good-looking, and then he was bought by Jia Ke for personal gain.

Lan Xiang has been by Jia Ke's side for the past few months, and she has lived quite comfortably, and during this period, she also used Jia Ke's name to buy her parents back. Now it's a family reunion.

When Qiaolian and Chuncao came a few days ago, she saw that these two people had a different relationship with the uncle. So he took a step back for the time being, and the two of them were in power in the mansion.

In fact, she doesn't look down on these two people, how can two illiterate maids fight with her? What's more, the methods of the two are so simple and crude. She just needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for Jia Ke to come back to make a decision, and she can't fight with these two little girls.

Sure enough, as soon as Jia Ke came back, he immediately took away their power, Jia Ke also had his own considerations, this housekeeper is not something that everyone can do, although Lan Xiang has been here for a short time, she is still very capable. During this time, the head of the top and bottom is the way, and it is better for her to do the housekeeper's affairs, as for Chuncao and Qiaolian, they are on the side to assist in supervision, and at the same time, they can also learn their abilities. In the future, when his own family business is bigger, he will divide some things and let them take care of it, and now let the two of them take care of the house, Jia Ke is really not at ease.

After all, let the two little girls who can't read big words be housekeepers, and they are not at ease, so let them learn for a while.
