The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 126 Butler
When Lin Zhixiao heard that Jia Ke led people to pursue the Tatars, he was very surprised and asked quickly, "Didn't the Tatars be repelled already? Why are you still chasing them?"

Liu Yu said with a smile: "I don't know about that. The uncle has his own intentions in thinking this way. I just need to do as the uncle ordered, and I don't care about anything else."

"Rest first, I still have something to do." Liu Yu left first after speaking.

Lin Zhixiao has lived in this guest room ever since, waiting for Jia Ke to come back.One wait is seven or eight days.

Suddenly one day the servant came to report that Jia Ke had returned, so Lin Zhixiao hurried out and ran into Liu Yu in the middle of the walk.

"Uncle Lin, I was just looking for you. Our uncle is back. I heard the report from the soldiers just now. The uncle has already entered the city, driving many cattle, sheep and horses. Let's go to the gate of the house to meet him." Liu Yu said anxiously.

When Lin Zhixiao said this, he hurried out with him, and halfway said to Liu Yu: "Send someone to inform Chuncao and Qiaolian. It’s half of the uncle’s family, if they don’t tell them that they remember it, we’ll look good to you in the future.”

Liu Yu patted her head and said, "How could I have forgotten them. These two aunts are not easy to mess with."

So I grabbed a young man and asked him to go to the second gate to report to the inside, telling the inside that the uncle is back, and let them come out to greet him quickly.

Lin Zhixiao and Liu Yu waited at the gate for a short time before Chun Cao and Qiao Lian hurried out, followed by Lan Xiang.

Not long after, Jia Ke and two deputy Qianhu came from the long street.Jia Ke rode the fire dragon colt in the lead, accompanied by two deputy Qianhu, and then followed the team, with awe-inspiring prestige.

When they reached the gate of Qianhu Mansion, Jia Ke got off his horse, and Lin Zhixiao and Liu Yu hurried forward to greet him. Jia Ke was taken aback when he saw Lin Zhixiao, and then realized that there must be something in Beijing that asked him to pass the message, Just smile at him.

Then Jia Ke saw Chuncao and Qiaolian behind them. Jia Ke was completely unprepared for their arrival, but it was not the time to ask questions yet.

Jia Ke led the people directly into the hall of Qianhu Mansion, where he ordered Huang Baifeng to bring back the cattle, sheep and horses, register them in detail, and then raise them properly.And register the soldiers who died in this battle, and then report to the court for compensation.

After arranging all these things, let Feng Mo arrange for the cavalry to return to the camp to rest, and give them 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 have had a hard time during this time.Can't help but let them relax.

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

As soon as Lin Zhixiao entered the door, he quickly knelt down to salute Jia Ke, "Master, I haven't sent a letter to my family after being here for so long. I want to kill my slaves."

Jia Ke exchanged pleasantries with him with a smile, and then got to the point.Ask him why he is here this time.

Lin Zhixiao hurriedly told Jia Ke that the master ordered him to deliver the letter, and by the way helped Aunt Zhou bring the two girls, Chuncao and Qiaolian, so as to take care of Jia Ke's daily life.

After Lin Zhixiao finished speaking, he took out Jia Zheng's letter from his bosom and handed it to Jia Ke with both hands. Jia Ke took the letter and opened it.

The letter was from Jia Zheng, telling him about the exchange of interests between him and Wang Ziteng.Basically, the Jia family let Wang Tao go, Wang Ziteng and Wang Tao managed to upgrade Kaipingwei to a guard mansion, and Jia Ke was also 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 bear it for a while, and wait until he is promoted, and we will talk about the future.

If it can be upgraded to a defense, it will be a big leap forward for Jia Ke's career.From then on in Kaipingwei, according to the agreement between Wang Tao and Jia's mansion, he can command 1 horses and be alone.

Even ordinary commanders don't have such prestige.

Now that Jia Ke had made a decision, he stopped procrastinating and said to Lin Zhixiao, "I'll write a letter in a while, and then you take it back to the mansion and tell father that I've seen what happened to him. Follow his orders and let He needn't have worried."

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 have a look at the scenery of the nearby grasslands?"

Lin Zhixiao smiled wryly and said to Jia Ke: "Master, don't make fun of me. I don't have time to travel around. After I received the letter from you, I'll go back tomorrow. I don't dare to delay the matter of you and me." .”

"Since you are in such a hurry, I won't make things difficult for you. I will write the letter tonight, and you can leave tomorrow." Jia Ke said.

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

Jia Ke also let them toss around, and when she sat down again after grooming, Jia Ke asked them, "How is my aunt at home, can you bring me anything?"

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

Chun Cao chimed in and said, "It's been a few days, and the ancestral hall must have been opened by now, and the name has been recorded on the genealogy."

After hearing what they said, Jia Ke nodded in satisfaction, thinking that this was what it should have meant. Since ancient times, mothers are more expensive than children, and now he has been valued as a fourth-rank guard, and he is also a figure in the border.As his biological mother, Aunt Zhou naturally received preferential treatment.

Jia Ke then said to them: "Since you're here, stay here with peace of mind. I miss you so much since I haven't seen you for so many days. You should learn from Lan Xiang about housekeeping. Why don't you know all the big characters?" housekeeper?"

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Chuncao and Qiaolian's faces became ugly. They were all servants, how could they be qualified to read and write?

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

Lan Xiang has been living comfortably by Jia Ke's side for the past few months. During the period, she even used Jia Ke's name to buy her parents back.Now it's a family reunion.

When Qiaolian and Chuncao came here a few days ago, she could see that they had an unusual relationship with the uncle.So he took a step back temporarily and let the two of them take power in the mansion.

In fact, she doesn't look down on these two people. How can two maids who don't know Chinese characters argue with her?What's more, the methods of the two are so simple and crude.She just had to sit on the Diaoyutai and wait for Jia Ke to come back to make a decision. There was no need to argue 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. Not everyone can be this housekeeper. Although Lan Xiang has only been here for a short time, she is still very capable.During this period of time, she has been taking care of everything up and down. It is better to let her do the housekeeping work. As for Chuncao and Qiaolian, they can help supervise and learn from them.When his own family business grows in the future, he can just let them take care of some things. Now that they are the two of them to take care of the house, Jia Ke is really worried.

After all, I don't feel at ease about letting two little girls who can't read big characters be housekeepers, so let them study for a while.
