Chapter 51: The Old Master's Intentions

"I saw that you didn't eat much at night, what? Bad appetite? ”

Today's night is not very good, there are not a few stars in the sky, and the moon has not appeared, so it is very dark outside. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"No, I just eat so much on weekdays, and there is no difference between today and the past!" Zhang Xia, who came back to her senses, smiled, and then said:

"You are a big man, you don't care about the big things of the country in the court, you don't ask the people about the suffering, why do you care so much about how much food my little woman eats? Why, the weather is hot, the appetite is not good, what's wrong with eating less, you, you should care about yourself, don't always worry about those little things that you don't have! ”

"This is no small matter!" Zhang Jie, who was full of seriousness, circled around the little aunt, and then said with a serious expression: "Put it in my heart, little aunt, you eat more and eat less, but it is even more amazing than those big things in the court, if you lose weight, I want tea and rice to be fragrant." ”

"Flat mouth!" slapped Zhang Jie with his hand, and Zhang Xia, who was slightly flushed on her face, hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, but the night was too dark, so Zhang Jie couldn't see the blush on her face anyway.

The two were joking, but they saw a neighing of horses from the direction of the school, and when they looked intently, they saw a carriage coming towards it.

"In the middle of the night, who is still in a hurry to rush to the night, in this direction, it seems that you are either going to the county seat, or to visit you, the old man!"

Zhang Xia, who covered her mouth and laughed softly, looked at the carriage that was getting closer and closer, but after a while, she said with a slight contemplation: "This carriage seems to be very familiar, it seems to be the carriage of the old master's family." ”

As Zhang Xia's voice fell, Zhang Jie was slightly stunned, stood in place for a while, waited for the carriage to get closer, and after seeing the driver clearly, Zhang Jie, who was full of excitement, immediately walked up quickly.

It was the eldest son of the old master who was driving, so late, the old master still came to his house, he must be looking for himself, and when the carriage stopped, sure enough, he saw the old master take the carriage and get down.

The old man's body is no longer as good as it was back then, so when he saw that the old man was about to get out of the car, Zhang Jie asked while greeting and supporting him:

"Master, why do you have to come here at night so late, what is there to be in such a hurry, you can't come during the day, besides, Master, if you really have something, find someone to send at will, and the students will naturally come to the door to listen to Master's teachings!"

"Hehehe, what's the matter, it's all here, can you kid still drive me back this old man?" The old master's laughter was still hearty, but it was a little hoarse in his voice.

"It's dark, Master, watch your step!"

Helped the old master into the yard, the movement at the door has alarmed the people in the house, at this moment, the old man of the family has come out, seeing the old master, the old man of the family is also full of smiles.

When he invited people into the house and served tea, the old man said with a strange face: "San Lang, what's the matter?" To come at night like this? ”

The old master did not speak, but gestured to the honest man who followed beside him, and when the man opened a package in his arms, he saw that the package was full of a whole bag of silver.

After seeing the things inside, whether it was Zhang Jie or the old man at home, they all looked surprised, and after seeing the old master's unfathomable appearance, the old man at home couldn't help but ask: "San Lang, who are you?" ”

The old master with a smile on his face did not rush to answer, but pointed to the large bag of silver, and said at the same time: "This is a full five hundred taels of silver, no more, no less, you ask your boy, he knows what these silver coins are for!" ”

As the old master's words fell, Zhang Jie's expression was slightly twisted, and after a while, Zhang Jie, who seemed to have finally reacted, looked at the old master in a daze, and after a while, he said: "The master is for the students' houses?" ”

"Hahahaha, I'll just say it, Zipan must know the role of these silver coins, take it, remember that the old man is old, and he wants to pick a sunny house for the old man, and then bask in the sun in the future, teasing and teasing his grandson, it is also a fun thing!"

The old master with a kind look on his face saw Zhang Jie's stunned look, but he reprimanded with a straight face: "Why, those mansions of yours, others want them, but I can't get them?" Where is this reasonable? ”

Zhang Jie didn't answer, but just looked at the big pile of silver money like this, there were zero and whole ones in the package, and there were a few yellowed silver tickets, and the amount of silver tickets was not large, most of them were more than ten or twenty taels, and the most was just a silver ticket of fifty taels, and these should be the old master's life savings.

took out his coffin, just to support his own building plan, in this world, except for the old master, I am afraid that there is no second person who will trust himself so unreservedly.

"Master, this money ......!"

Zhang Jie originally had the intention to refuse, after all, the five hundred taels of silver is the old master's lifelong savings, and he may even have to find a few sons to scrape together to get it together, after all, five hundred taels of silver is a solid family, and it may not be able to take it out at one time, and although the old master's family is doing well, it has definitely not reached the point where it can take out five hundred taels of silver at will.

"What? Zipan: You don't have confidence in your plan? The old man can tell you that if this thing is done, it will be fine, if it is done badly, and the old man's life savings will be ruined, and the old man will beat you no matter whether you are the county master or not. ”

When he saw Zhang Jie calm down, the old man with a smile on his face nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, even if you don't have confidence in yourself, the old man is full of confidence in you, in this world, as long as Zipan wants to do, there is nothing that can't be done, young man, you have to break through, five hundred taels of silver, the old man will buy you a bright future!" ”

The words have been said to this point, there is nothing to say, then put away a large bag of money, Zhang Jie personally issued a receipt to the old master, as for the courtyard, when it is built, there will inevitably be a courtyard for the old master.

After finishing the formal, after talking and laughing for a while, the old master left, sent the old master to the entrance of the village, looking at the carriage that gradually disappeared into the night, Zhang Jie felt again that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavier again.

Since the old master has believed in himself without reservation, Zhang Jie feels that if he doesn't respond to this trust well, it is really undeserved. (To be continued.) )
