Chapter 22 The Oath
Jia's mother asked someone to hand something over to Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng saw that it was a land deed for 2,500 acres of land.
Jia Zheng was about to refuse, but Jia's mother said: "Don't refuse, this is not for you, it is for my eldest brother. He is alone outside with no family to take care of him. If he doesn't have some money, why not die a miserable death?"
"
Then Jia Mu said: "The ratio you promised to the personal soldiers remains unchanged. We will send people to Xiacaozhuang every month. There will be no shortage."
Jia Zheng agreed one by one. After the mother and son had another conversation, Jia Zheng left and went to the Yamen.
In the evening, when Jia Zheng came back from the Yamen, he first went to Mrs. Wang and told her that Jia Ke would be moving to Xiacaozhuang in the near future, and that Lin Zhixiao would follow him. He asked her to be prepared and not to cause trouble. He said
After that, I went to Aunt Zhou’s place.
Mrs. Wang was very happy when she heard that Jia Ke was going to go to her hometown, because these days were not easy for her. Jia Zheng went to Aunt Zhou almost every day and took good care of Jia Ke. Even the ignorant servants
Privately speaking, Jia Ke will definitely have a future. This makes her angry but also worried. She is worried that if she really tells the people, if Jia Ke has a future, will there still be a place for their mother and son? Good now.
Having overcome this evil obstacle, he will finally be driven to the countryside.
It is indeed said that Jia Zheng came to Aunt Zhou and saw that mother and son had not eaten yet. He said to her: "Today we will serve the meal together. You don't need to wait. Eat with us. After eating, I have something to say to you."
Mother and son said."
After Aunt Zhou heard what he said, she dared to tell Chuncao and Xia Mai to go to the kitchen and tell her that the master was preparing food for her today.
Soon the food was delivered and put on the table, and Jia Zheng, Aunt Zhou and Jia Ke had a meal like a family.
Aunt Zhou cried several times during the dinner. This was the first time he had dinner with Jia Zheng. In the past, it was Jia Zheng who ate, and she was waiting on him. According to the rules, among all the wives and concubines of Jia Zheng, she could eat at the same table with him.
Mrs. Wang is the only one. The others have to wait on the side. Although she is Jia Zheng's concubine, she is also a maid of Jia's house, and can only be regarded as half a master. Today Jia Zheng asked her to eat at the same table, which means that in Jia Zheng's heart
Treat her like a family member, not a concubine like a plaything. How could this not move her?
After dinner, the leftovers were taken away, and the spring grass and summer wheat also left. Then they spoke.
Jia Zhengxian said to Jia Ke: "There has been a change in your martial arts practice and training of your own soldiers."
Jia Ke was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Can't I practice martial arts and join the army?"
Jia Zheng said: "Don't be anxious. It's not that you can't practice martial arts. You have to go to the countryside to practice. It's okay to practice martial arts by yourself in the capital, but if you are training soldiers, it's taboo. The current Jia Mansion is not what your grandfather was here.
It’s the Jia Mansion.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Ke didn't tell him to give up, but just to change places. He quickly expressed his position and said: "Father, my son is not afraid of hardship. As long as he can practice martial arts, as long as he can get ahead, he will not be afraid of no matter how much hardship he endures."
Jia Zheng said happily: "Good boy, this is the ambition of the children of my Rongguo Mansion. It's not like going to Xiacaozhuang elsewhere. It is the hometown of the soldiers. It won't attract anyone's attention. When you train the soldiers,
That's right, you're getting older, so it won't be difficult to find a job when the time comes." Then he said with some pride: "My Jia family still has some connections in the military."
Aunt Zhou next to her couldn't interrupt, and she didn't dare to interrupt, but she still heard that Jia Zheng wanted to send Jia Ke to the countryside, somewhere else but to Xiacaozhuang. That was the place where she grew up, although it was smaller than other places.
The village is richer, but it can’t be compared with the mansion. Thinking about Jia Ke who has never left her side since she was born, and now she has to go to an unknown place alone. I can’t help but feel sad.
But she knew she couldn't cry, so she bit her lip with her teeth to prevent herself from making a sound, but tears fell involuntarily.
At this time, Jia Zheng took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Jia Ke, saying: "The old lady took this from her private room and gave it to you. It seems that the old lady still loves you. In our house,
It’s the first one.”
Jia Ke took it and saw that it was a land deed, covering an area of 2,500 acres. You can say a lot about what was most valuable in ancient times, but I would say that land was the most valuable in ancient times. If something happened to the family of many officials, gentry and landowners,
If they need money urgently, they would rather sell all their gold and silver treasures than sell their land. Some farmers are sick and need money to save their lives, but they would rather die than sell their land because they know it is their lifeblood.
In the Red Mansion, Jia Mu was so kind to Jia Baoyu and would give him any good thing, but she did not give him an acre of land. Because Jia Mu knew that land was the Jia family's last resort.
But now he was given 2,500 acres at once, which was given to a teenage child. Although Jia Ke had not traveled through time long and had only met Jia Mu once or twice, he felt that Jia Mu was not a Red Mansion novelist.
The culprit who caused the destruction of the Jia family. At least to him now, she is a competent grandmother.
Aunt Zhou was shocked when she saw the land deed nearby. She had never thought about how big a fortune Jia Ke could have. She originally thought that when Jia Ke reached his age, the Jia family would give Jia Ke a few or two.
A hundred acres of land was given away for a small house. At most, Jia Zheng would give a few hundred taels of private money. I didn't expect the old lady to give Jia Ke such a large piece of land. From now on, the two of them would have something to rely on.
Jia Ke knelt on the ground with the land deed and said to Jia Zheng: "The old lady is really kind to Jia Ke. In the future, I will never forget the old lady's kindness to her grandson."
Jia Zheng looked at him and said: "You can go to the old lady and tell her yourself tomorrow about these words of thanks. I also have something to tell you. When you go to Caozhuang, you should think more about the veteran and ask for advice. Don't be arrogant because you think you are your master.
, you must know that there are some truths and experiences that are not in books. If you know more, you will not be able to protect your future lives. Also, after you go there, you can only live in Xiacaozhuang. Let Lin Zhixiao help you read the Zhuangzi that the old lady gave you.
Here. He wants to accompany you to Xiacaozhuang. He has been wronged this time. Don't forget it when you achieve success in the future."
Jia Ke immediately promised to repay him ten times in the future.
Seeing that he had finished his instructions, Jia Zheng said: "You will leave in a few days. I won't be here today. You mother and son have a nice talk." After that, he took out a few banknotes from his arms and handed them to him.
Jia Ke left without waiting for anything to say.
Jia Ke looked at the banknotes in his hand. There were five in total, one hundred taels each. This was quite a lot, equivalent to the current RMB 500,000 to 700,000.
After Jia Zheng left, Chun Cao and Xia Mai came in to wait on her. But after Aunt Zhou recovered from the shock, she remembered that Jia Ke would be leaving home soon, and she couldn't help crying again.
Jia Ke hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her, telling her that he would come back every month, and imagined the future to her, how capable he was, and what a beautiful wife he had married. When the time came, he would separate the family and take her out to be an old lady, and she would do it every day.
Enjoy the same happiness as the old lady.
Aunt Zhou laughed at what he said and said to him: "Auntie, I don't ask you to be successful, as long as you are well and have no illness or disaster. As long as I am an old lady, I am afraid that I will never be able to do anything in my life."
This is a blessing." Those who serve as concubines may become old ladies, and there will always be the royal family and the royal wife above them. But Jia Ke knows that there is a possibility for the side family to surpass the Zheng family, and that is the founder of the country.
My mother, if one day Jia Ke becomes Emperor Taizu, and only the birth mother is named the Queen Mother, then Mrs. Wang will also bow to Aunt Zhou when she sees her. This is the feudal etiquette of heaven and earth, the king is the queen mother.
.I remember when Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor and named his father the Supreme Emperor. When Liu Bang went to see him, he had to wait at the gate of the palace. At this time, a seed called ambition was planted in Jia Ke's heart.
This is Jia Ke's vow that he must let Aunt Zhou dominate Mrs. Wang. For this, he will do anything.
