After saying this, Jiang Zhixia held the soup bowl again and drank a small bowl of grits soup.

It wasn't enough to drink it, so I let the maids who served it with a bowl and were so happy to serve it that they were relieved.

It's good to be able to eat it, it's good to be able to eat it!

"Tomorrow morning, let the kitchen make this black pepper-flavored grits soup. Then, fry some fried fritters with it, which is the best to eat. ”

Jiang Zhixia, who finished drinking the soup, watched Xiao Man instruct the little maid to clean up the table, and she instructed while standing up.

"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Man is naturally busy.

Jiang Zhixia, with Ruolan's support, walked around the house and courtyard for a while.

When I returned to the beauty couch to rest, I saw Jiang Zhixia frowning, and said strangely: "I ate grits soup today, and I remembered that there has been no news from Linzhou." ”

In November last year, Uncle Jiang's family came to make a fuss.

Later, Song He personally led people to press them back to Linzhou.

After Song He and the others came back, they only said that they had handed over the people to the village chief, and gave Liu Tiankuo's letters and silver tickets to the local garrison and the county magistrate, but they didn't say much else.

Later, her own affairs came out one after another, but she forgot about the Linzhou Jiang family.

If not, because she drank the grits soup from her hometown, she wouldn't even remember to ask this.

After Jiang Zhixia said this, Dongli, Ruolan, Xiaoman and Yingsleeve, the big girls, looked at each other.

The matter of the outer court, the lady asked, and they would ask; Madame didn't ask, so naturally they didn't care.

When Jiang Zhixia saw this situation, he understood.

"Ruolan, go and find Song He, I'll ask him."

Jiang Zhixia's eyes rolled, and he remembered that he wanted to create a chance for Ruolan and Song He to get along, so he ordered her.

"Yes, ma'am." Ruolan hesitated, but still agreed, turned around and walked to the outer courtyard.

"She's a little reluctant." Jiang Zhixia asked curiously. Did these two people quarrel?

The other three big girls glanced at each other, naturally even more confused.

Among the four big girls, Dong Li and Ying Sleeve are in the backyard almost all day.

Dealing with the outer courtyard is basically what Ruolan does.

Dealing with the front yard is basically what Xiao Man is doing.

Therefore, if Ruolan and Song He quarreled, they naturally didn't know.

Jiang Zhixia saw that they didn't know, so that's it. Wait to ask Ruolan again, that girl won't hide it from her anyway.

After a while, Ruolan came back alone.

"Mrs., I went to the outer courtyard, and the little guy in the courtyard of the Song guard said that the Song guard went out to run errands. Ask Madame if there is something important? If there is, he called Song Guard back. Therefore, the servant was in charge and passed on the things that the lady wanted to ask to the Song guards. ”

Ruolan said respectfully.

Jiang Zhixia heard that Song He was not there, so he just said, "Then wait for the uncle to come back, and I'll ask him again." ”

After eating enough, his mood was better, so Jiang Zhixia drew a few more jewelry patterns, and then he leaned on the beauty couch to recuperate.

In the evening, when Liu Tiankuo came back from duty, Jiang Zhixia asked about the Jiang family in Linzhou.

Liu Tiankuo, who had already received Song He's notice, said while changing his clothes: "Over there in Linzhou, there has actually been news coming all the time. I didn't care about you when I saw you before, so I didn't mention it. Now, since you asked, then I will tell you in detail. ”

Jiang Zhixia naturally nodded.

"One of my subordinates in the Zhenwei army is also from Linzhou. I'm from the same town as you, but it's a different village. Liu Tiankuo said with a smile.

When Jiang Zhixia heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and his hand involuntarily pinched the tiger's mouth.

She seems to have said a lot of so-called customs and idioms of her hometown, right?

Isn't that debunked?

"That person is from my hometown?" Jiang Zhixia asked pretending to be calm.

"Exactly. However, he came out relatively early. He is now thirty-four. Ten years older than you. ”

Liu Tiankuo explained with a smile.

"I see." Jiang Zhixia lowered his eyes.

The age difference is large, the times have changed, and the past is different from the present, so it should be acceptable, right?

"Exactly. He came out as a soldier when he was young, and he has been away for nearly 20 years. Now, he wants to return to his hometown to support his parents. So after listening to the words of those who had been to Linzhou, they came to me and said that they were willing to return to their hometown and help me take care of the Jiang family, and they must not come to disturb you. Therefore, I also agreed. I transferred him back to a guard house not far from your town in Linzhou, and he kept an eye on me. Liu Tiankuo continued indifferently.

Jiang Zhixia nodded, and his fingers slowly loosened.

"He often brings news from Linzhou. When your uncle's family returned to the village, they began to expand their houses, eat and drink heavily, and even bought people to make slaves and maids. Later, when your cousin got together with his classmates, he got some news from you, so they regretted it a lot. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Tiankuo sneered.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. However, it also depends on whether they deserve this benefit?

"They were planning to come to the capital again to find you, but no one showed them the way. In desperation, they told you who you were, and they wanted to blackmail you. However, the village chiefs and the others all got my money and letters, so naturally they did not dare to open the way for them. They secretly wanted to leave Linzhou again, but when they left the village, they were arrested by my men. ”

Liu Tiankuo had already thought of it, how could a person like them be able to get away with a little silver from Zhixia?

Surely they will be pestered again and again-------- even if they swear poison.

When Jiang Zhixia heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless for the shamelessness of the Jiang family.

At the beginning, the Jiang family promised not to come to her again after taking the money.

One thousand taels of silver is a wealth that ordinary people can't get in their lifetime.

However, the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and Uncle Jiang's family is not satisfied, and they still want to come to her.

"And then?" Jiang Zhixia couldn't help but continue to ask.

She didn't believe that the Jiang family could die if they ran away once.

"Later? Later, Uncle Jiang and Jiang Erlang still persevered and ran out. The most recent time, when they ran out of Linzhou City, they encountered mountain bandits. In the scuffle, both of them had their legs cut by the bandits, and then they fell down the slope and broke their legs. Now, I'm lying in bed recuperating from my injuries. ”

Liu Tiankuo said lightly.

Jiang Zhixia knew that there must be his handiwork in this.

"They should be dead, right?" Jiang Zhixia said with a frown.

It's all a broken leg, so you don't have to come to the capital, right?

Where did they get their self-confidence, when they came to the capital, they would help them again?

Just because of the soft-heartedness last time? That's just because of the previous care.

Now that the favor has been repaid, it is a complete two-clear.
