Chapter 52: Water and Ink
Jia Ke took the people back to Xia Caozhuang and resettled at home. After a day or two, he began to practice martial arts again.
In this way, the new year began again, the villages have begun spring ploughing, Zhou Wangli reported from Wangjiatun, saying that he received a few subordinates, subdued the people of Wangjiatun, and now everything is normal in the village. Let Jia Ke rest assured.
Half a year has passed, Jia Ke's martial arts are getting higher and higher, his physique is getting stronger and stronger, and with the integration of Lu Bu's bravery, the qi and blood in his body are also getting stronger and stronger.
Now Jia Ke, his body has condensed into internal strength, bursting with strength, can collapse mountains and rocks, can cut off vitality, and destroying people's internal organs is just an understatement, passing by in a flash, leaving no external injuries. But Jia Ke feels that he has reached a limit, and if he doesn't break through this limit, I'm afraid it will be a different world.
In the past six months, the news of Jiafu has also been distributed, and the family members from a month ago have spread to Jia Kezhong one after another. In fact, it's not that Jia Ke wants to inquire on purpose, but that Chuncao and Qiaolian are really bored, every time someone comes to Jiafu, they have to inquire up and down, and then they can talk for a month. Jia Ke listened to it if he didn't want to listen to it, and he couldn't even think about it.
The most important news is that Jia Yu's new aunt opened a small workshop with her own private money, what kind of soap does she sell? It can be said that it is making money every day. And Jia Yu didn't know what evil he had fallen into, so he began to compete with Jia Zheng for the stewardship of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Ke just smiled at these things, this is all a routine of crossing women, nothing new.
Regarding Jia Yu and Jia Zheng's struggle for power, Jia Ke felt that it was even more nonsense, and there was no possibility at all. Jia Yu lived outside the mansion and lived in another place, and did not live in the garden as stated in the novel. What big mistake did Jia Yu make? Otherwise, he would not have been separated from the mansion, and Jia Zheng would not dare to live in Rongxi Hall in a grand manner. If Jia Yu wants to return to Rongxi Hall, it is impossible in this life.
And Jia Yu has been honest for decades, and now he is starting to earn power, I am afraid that the crossing woman is behind the trouble. This crossing girl is too naïve, she doesn't know the horror of ancient times, and she is completely unbound by the three obedience and four virtues. If this continues, Jia Ke will not have long to live.
When a drop of water drops into the whole bottle of ink, you should not think about how to assimilate the whole bottle of ink into water, but you should find a way to become the same ink yourself as the surrounding one. If you are always different from others, then you are an alternative in the eyes of others, especially in a feudal dynasty, you will not live long if you are different.
Seeing that it was autumn again, Zhou Wang sent news from Wangjiatun that it was a bumper harvest this year. and can collect three or four thousand rents of grain. Q: What should Jia Ke do?
Jia Keke is now very familiar with the feudal dynasty, and he already knows the measurement of those grain merchants. So he said back that he only sold 1,000 Dan of grain, which was used for his daily expenses, as well as the monthly money of the employees of Wangjiatun. The rest is all dried, put in the warehouse, and then sold when the next year is not in stock.
Since returning from Jiafu last year, Jia Ke has never taken a step out of Caozhuang. He felt that he was about to break through, so he practiced day and night, and he didn't dare to relax a little. In particular, the Spring and Autumn Guidance Method is practiced most diligently, and it is practiced almost as soon as I have time.
Aunt Zhou asked someone to bring a letter to him back several times, but he refused ruthlessly, he knew that as long as he broke through this time, he would be able to reach the level of 10,000 people, a super-first-class general. At that time, although it was still not as good as when Lu Bu was at his peak, it was not far off. So he didn't dare to relax a little, and Jia Ke decided to break through the current realm before the Chinese New Year.
But hope is beautiful, reality is cruel. Entering the wax moon, Jia Ke still has no signs of breaking through. Jia Ke is now completely and now completely forgetting about other things, and is focused on practicing martial arts. There is even some obsession with forgetting the time.
Until Lin Zhixiao, he came to Xia Caozhuang again to comfort the old soldiers. Jia Ke reacted that it was the New Year again.
This time for the Chinese New Year, Jia Ke did not return to Jiafu with Lin Zhixiao. Instead, he first took a detour to Wangjiatun to see how his Zhuangzi was doing.
When I arrived in Wangjiatun, and the atmosphere here was much better than last year, I saw Jia Ke's motorcade. Many children were running around and watching. It's not as numb as it was last year.
Zhou Wang heard that the villagers said that Jia Ke was coming, and hurriedly ran out of the house to greet him. The first thing he saw when he arrived at the entrance of the village was that Jia Ke, who was already thirteen years old, was heroic and extraordinary. It's almost as tall as an adult. And he is accompanied by his daughters Qiaolian and Chuncao.
Zhou Wang hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and saluted: "The slave greets the uncle." Uncle has always been in good health? ”
Jia Ke looked down at Zhou Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, he hadn't seen him for a year, and he had already made a fortune. It's not like before, it's a subordinate at first glance, but now it makes people feel like a rich family in the countryside.
Jia Ke asked Zhou Wang to get up and lead the way, and entered the mansion in the center of the village, which was originally Ang Lee's house. Back then, Jia Ke only lived outside for one night, and now it really belongs to Jia Ke. Therefore, he took Qiaolian and Chuncao to visit this mansion back and forth, and felt ten times more luxurious than their house in Xiacaozhuang. Chuncao didn't feel much of a big feeling, but Qiaolian's appearance was eager to try, and she couldn't wait to move in immediately. But he would be disappointed, because Jia Ke was not ready to move here at all. This luxurious mansion is too draining of one's fighting spirit.
After visiting the house, Jia Ke went to the warehouse again to take a look and saw that the grain inside was piled up. It seems that Zhou Wang did not play tricks on the rent given to him.
After resting in Wangjiatun for a day, early the next morning, with the filial piety given to him by Wangjiatun, he went to the capital to return to Jiafu.
When I arrived in the house, it was still the same process as last year, first go to Aunt Zhou's and put down my things. Then go to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to say goodbye. Then the next day, I went to say goodbye to Jia's mother, and then I waited at home every day for the New Year.
Because Jia Ke didn't come back for a year, Aunt Zhou complained very much, and when she saw Jia Ke, her tears never stopped, Jia Ke comforted again and again, and Qiao Lian kept helping beside her, and finally persuaded Aunt Zhou.
The process of the New Year is still the same as last year, the only difference is that Jia Yu is now in high spirits, and next to him is always Aunt Zhang, and Mrs. Xing can almost be said to be invisible now.
The servants of the house are all in a hurry to tie up the big house, and the servants of the big house are now nostrils facing the sky. Now in the big room, the only two unhappy people are probably only two people.
One is Mrs. Xing, she is now called a housewife, but she is suppressed, and she is not even as good as a concubine.
The second is Jia Lian, because Aunt Zhang is pregnant again, he began to feel instinctively afraid. In another party with Jia Lian, Jia Lian was worried, he was afraid that if Aunt Zhang gave birth to a boy, his father would abandon him at that time.
And Jia Ke took the lead to persuade him that this kind of thing could not happen, but he didn't believe Jia Ke's words.
But he didn't know that what Jia Ke said to him was serious. Because Jia Ke guessed that Aunt Zhang's life would not be long, I am afraid that the day of birth will be the time when she will die. This time-traveling girl is still indulging in the beautiful dreams she has woven herself, but she doesn't know that the giant beast of feudal etiquette has opened its fangs to her.
Although they are both traversers, why should they have met before. Although she is very sympathetic to her upcoming experience, Jia Ke is not ready to interfere with Aunt Zhang's upcoming fate, because Aunt Zhang's actions have violated the interests of the second room. In the face of this kind of major issues, he resolutely stands on the side of the second room, which is interests, not feelings.
Jia Ke sometimes thinks that his personality has completely become unrecognizable. The former self can be said to be kind, and he has good intentions for anyone. But now it is resolute and resolute to say that it sounds good, and it is not a means to say something ugly. Jia Ke knew that he had become a drop of ink. So he can live. And Aunt Zhang is trying to make the people around her turn into clear water like her, so she is about to die.
