The chicken soup in the pot made a gurgling sound along with the flames in the pot, a handful of salt and sauce, and the seemingly simple chicken soup released a umami taste far beyond imagination at this moment.

"Chicken soup is here. Aunt Qing walked out of the kitchen with a big bowl of chicken soup with a smile on her face, and when it was served, Qin Ke had already swallowed her saliva.

"Aunt Qing, it's been a long time since I've drunk the chicken soup you made, and it's still so fragrant. Qin Ke rubbed his hands, his eyes looking at the chicken soup a little impatient.

Aunt Qing laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled, and she felt that there was light on her face: "Incense, you still have half of it in that pot, I'll put it in a clay pot for you in a while, and you can take it back and drink it." ”

"Hey. What's so funny about this. Qin Ke scratched his head and smiled shyly, "You and Uncle Ji haven't drunk yet, so I won't bring it." ”

"If you want to bring it, where are so many politeness. Aunt Qing glanced at him, "We are not outsiders here, and we are not outsiders, so there is no need to talk about so many etiquettes, if you change others, he wants to drink Aunt Qing is still unwilling to make it for him." Isn't it?"

"Yes. "Where does Qin Ke dare to object, in a sense, he and Uncle Ji are in the same position, and they are both respectful and awe-inspiring to this Aunt Qing with a bit of pungent energy, rather than shirking, it is better to ......

He suddenly remembered what he had brought with him on this trip, and patted his head and said, "I almost forgot." ”

As he spoke, he carefully took out a bag from his arms and gently put it on the table: "By the way, Aunt Qing, you gave me so much money when I left the village before, and I will come back now and return all the money to you." ”

In fact, Daoxiang Village has never been rich, although since everyone settled here, it can be regarded as a smooth wind and rain, and has not suffered any major disasters, but after all, the land that Daoxiang Village can cultivate is not too big, and it is not easy to divert water, plus the population is not much, even if one person grows four hands, how much grain can be grown?

If it weren't for the fact that in those days, the Jianghu guests heard that there were treasures in Daoxiang Village and came to visit one after another, and the villagers made a small amount of money by providing food and shelter, I am afraid it would not be easy to make up the package of travel expenses for Qin Ke.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Ke has been thinking about this matter, especially when he was supported by the Taixue Hall in Jingwu, and later Zhuge Wanling gave him a lot of money, he wanted to repay the villagers even more.

"Where is this, the money we gave you is not lent to you, it is given to you, where do you need ......"

However, Aunt Qing's words came to an abrupt end, as if someone suddenly grabbed her throat and made her open her mouth, but she was still speechless.

She saw a golden glow.

This light is not the sunshine that falls, nor the ears of wheat in autumn, nor the rape flowers that have not yet opened in the field, but it is so dazzling that it even covers all the light, which makes people intoxicated.

What Qin Ke took out of his arms was a money bag, which he had prepared when he came, and once the contents showed their true body, it was enough to make the entire Daoxiang Village shake.

"I originally thought about putting money in it, but a big bag is not easy to hold, and it is too heavy, so I can only carry this. Qin Ke said apologetically, "Here are two hundred gold, I want to share it with everyone in the village, but in this way, it is not easy to divide it." ”

"Aunt Qing, Aunt Qing?" Qin Ke looked at Aunt Qing and didn't speak, and called softly a few times.

Aunt Qing's whole body was shocked, and she finally reacted, and almost trembled and sealed the mouth of the money bag: "Don't ...... Don't show me that, this yellow, orange, orange, I panic. ”

"Poof", Cai Yan, who was drinking chicken soup on the side, laughed.

Qin Ke also smiled slightly, he didn't expect that Aunt Qing, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, would have such a soft body, but he also understood very well, you must know that when he first saw the yellow, orange, and orange gold bars placed in front of him one by one, he almost fainted.

But since he left Daoxiang Village, he has seen too many things, the city walls as high as mountains, the streets that are almost crowded with people, and one after another big people whose names he has never even heard of......

The outside world is very big, and the gold bars in this money bag are small in comparison.

"This ...... Is it two hundred gold?" Aunt Qing touched the heavy money bag, and heard the crisp sound of the gold bars rubbing against each other, so she subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "Oh my God, this is money that those officials don't necessarily have, where did you get so much money?"

She looked Qin Ke's clothes up and down, although Qin Ke was indeed dressed brightly now, Aunt Qing was still a little nervous: "You didn't do anything bad, did you?"

"What bad things can I do. Qin Ke said with a smile, "Don't worry, this money is all clean, and it was given to me by someone else." ”

"Who is so generous?" Aunt Qing screamed, and quickly fell on Cai Yan, and whispered, "You mean...... Your father-in-law?"

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Qin Ke just wanted to explain, but he coughed when the old man said this, he glanced at Cai Yan's smiling eyes, and said with a red face, "Aunt Qing, what are you talking about." ”

"You don't know what I'm talking about. Aunt Qing seriously pushed the money in the direction of Qin Ke, "Although you are now climbing a high branch, but after all, two hundred gold is not a small amount of money, if you give it to me like this, what should the old man say you should do when the time comes? Although Aunt Qing is poor here, there is no place to spend money, don't worry, but if you are not pleasing to the old father-in-law, it will not be easy to live in other people's homes in the future." ”

She even glanced at Cai Yan and said, "Miss Cai, you said yes, right?"

Cai Yan drank the chicken soup, his eyes were crooked like crescent moons, and said with a smile: "Aunt Qing, don't guess, this money has nothing to do with my father, it was all given by his relative, right, Ah Ke?"

"Relative, which relative is so generous?" Aunt Qing frowned.

Qin Ke hurriedly explained the matter about Jing Wu, and by the way, explained the brotherly relationship between Zhuge Wolong and Zhuge Wanling.

Although he and Zhuge Wolong are not related, they are also his students, and it is not unreasonable to talk about relatives.

And Aunt Qing listened to the explanation like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, almost unable to stand and soften, if it weren't for Qin Ke and Cai Yan hurriedly supporting her, I'm afraid she would really have to throw herself into the chicken soup.

When Qin Ke slowly helped her sit down, she let out a sigh of relief and said tremblingly: "Hey, it turns out that Mr. Zhuge has such a powerful brother, I used to think that he was not an ordinary person, but I really didn't expect his relatives to be in Jingwu." You just said, Prime Minister...... How old is it in Jingwu?"

"Except for the lord of the country, he is the biggest. Qin Ke replied.

Aunt Qing almost rolled her eyes and fainted, but it provoked Uncle Ji, who had just run in with a smile, and Qin Ke and Cai Yan, who were in the house, in a hurry.

After settling Aunt Qing down, Qin Ke followed Uncle Ji except for the door, and he smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect things to be like this." ”

"You've always been a good boy. Uncle Ji leaned on the pillar and smiled slightly, "Aunt Qing's temperament is that she looks very aggressive, but sometimes she is really not as good as you Uncle Ji and me." ”

Probably realizing that he was suspected of boasting about this, he touched his nose to hide his embarrassment, and asked casually, "You mean, Mr. is not dead?"

In this village, there is naturally only one Zhuge Wolong who can really be called "sir" from the heart.

"Yes. Qin Ke said softly: "I couldn't believe it at first, but then I thought about it, this is not a bad thing. Although Master's whereabouts are unknown, it is better than lying in that dark tomb. ”

"Of course it's good to be alive. Uncle Ji is also a person who has experienced a lot of things, thinking that when he fled all the way to Daoxiang Village, only one of the five children survived, but even so, he still survived, but Aunt Qing, who was very smug on weekdays, would always secretly wipe her tears in the dead of night.

"We are all ordinary people, and we don't know how many mountains and rivers are separated from those big people, not to mention the prime minister of Jingwu, even if it is our Mo family, how many of those adults do we know? That is, we know that our Mo family has a giant, as well as Zhongfuzi and generals......"

Uncle Ji subconsciously took out the dry cigarette, bit it on the side of his mouth and smoked: "But back then, I thought that a person like Mr. couldn't be an ordinary teacher, even if it was the county magistrate in front of him, he had to respectfully ask for advice." Speaking of which, where in this world is there a reason for an official to give a salute to ordinary people? Isn't it all because the gentleman is powerful?"

Qin Ke nodded: "I also slowly learned that the master originally had so many things in his heart. ”

"If you are a powerful person, you will have more things in your heart. Uncle Ji grinned, "But if you want to find Mr., it's hard work." ”

Qin Ke lowered his head, and his eyes revealed a little darkness: "I know." ”

At this time, he felt a warm hand suddenly placed on his shoulder.

Raising his head, Qin Ke saw Uncle Ji's comforting smile: "But don't worry too much, everything in this world is taken step by step, and no one will ascend to the sky in one step." What do you mean by that? The ship arrives...... Head...... Head ......"

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge. ”

"Yes, the boat is naturally straight to the bridge. Uncle Ji's laughter spewed out dry smoke, like a layer of mist, "In the end, people who have read books are different, and they are exported." ”

Qin Ke said shyly: "Where is this, this is not a mouthpiece, it's just a common saying." ”

"Whether it is vulgar or not, it is up to us real laymen to decide. Uncle Ji's words seemed to be a little philosophical, "In short, don't worry too much, Mr. is so powerful, he can always take care of himself." As for you, you have to take care of yourself, who in this world is easy to live? Don't you have to take care of your own family and then take care of others?"

"Uncle Ji. Inexplicably, Qin Ke's nose was a little sour, and there were crystal tears rolling in his eyes, maybe only in front of these elders in Daoxiang Village could he turn back into that timid and immature child, right?

Although he is no longer a child, he has a strong qi and blood cultivation, and his hands were once stained with blood, but who doesn't have a soft heart?

Uncle Ji patted Qin Ke on the shoulder and said with a kind smile: "Ah Ke, you are a person who does big things, I used to think so, what you want will definitely be able to do well." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Ji. Qin Ke also wiped the corners of his eyes, for fear that his tears would really fall, he had grown up, and if he still cried, his nose would not look good.

He looked around for a moment and asked casually, "Where is the second baby, why didn't you see him when you came back?"

Speaking of his son, Uncle Ji also came to talk: "I followed someone up the mountain this morning, he is now a member of the government, and he has to listen to orders." These days, our village is not very peaceful, and there are big snakes on the mountain. ”

"Snake, what snake?"
