Chapter 35

She was kind, but the two generals were sincerely grateful and wanted to give them money. Ji Wan said she would not ask for anything.

"The young women treat the villagers' illness and pulse, but they do not charge any money. You are all soldiers who fight for the country and are heroes, so the young women cannot accept them."

The little girl Gao Yi and Lu Feili said, "Since that's the case, don't force it."

"yes."

The two of them were respectful to him, which made Ji Wan look sideways again.

General Zhang and Deputy General Lin went out, but Lu Feili was still in the main hall, his eyes fell on Zhou, and suddenly said, "Master Zhou's seventyth birthday is approaching, so I must have hoped that his children and grandchildren will linger in front of him."

Zhou's whole body was stiff.

Lu Feili saw it and said, "I will set off to return to Beijing at the end of the month. The lady feels like she has some advice. Next time I come to pick up the gloves, I can tell you."

Ji Wan only knew that Zhou was born, but she didn't know the specific background. She was shocked when she heard the boy's words.

Zhou's snow-white face gradually recovered and he said, "Thank you, the young master, the civilian woman has nothing to ask for."

Lu Feili was silent and turned around and walked out. When he reached the door, he stopped and said, "Even if the wife doesn't think about herself, she should also think about her future for her three children, especially to make a man innocent and bear a treasure."

Zhou's whole body trembled and looked up suddenly. Lu Feili had already stepped out of the gate. When he walked into the courtyard, he suddenly said loudly: "If there are any burglary schemes for the imperial gift, the whole family will be executed. Yancheng is remote, but the subordinates are peaceful. The county magistrate and the prefect are all fair and honest."

After all, the thoughts of those who were jealous of Zhou's family's wealth were completely shattered.

"Mom, what does that young master mean just now?"

Ji Rong looked up at her mother and asked in a low voice.

Ji Heng was young and knew nothing. When he saw outsiders leave, he immediately let go of his sister's hand and ran to the gold ingots and jewelry, silk and brocade.

Ji Wan went to close the door, stopping the villagers from curious and amazed gazes.

"Arong, take Aheng back to the house."

She calmly ordered her sister, then covered the two boxes filled with gold ingots and packed them up. She glanced at the silver notes next to her, but picked them up but found that there was something strange about the tentacles, and there were two pieces of paper underneath.

"Fortunately, Miss Meng gave her a prescription, and her mother's insomnia has improved. I would like to give her a gift to her in the house. I hope she will not abandon her."

Ji Wan stared at the two lines of words flying and dancing, a little stunned.

Zhou had already seen the deed on her hand, "Awan, what's wrong with gloves?"

Ji Wan put the house deed and the fifty acres of land into the ingot box together, and told her mother what happened that day.

"Mom, I'm hiding it from you because I'm afraid you're worried."

Zhou touched his eldest daughter's head without saying a word to blame her daughter.

"I know." Zhou's tone was gentle, "Fortunately, that young general was not a bad person. If he met strangers again in the future, do not talk about it in detail."

Ji Wan nodded.

At this time, she also came back to the taste. The young man must have said that he was the daughter of a scholar when he met, so he went to the government office to investigate the file. Then he found out that his mother was not from Yi Village and found out that his mother's origin. As for gloves, it was an unexpected gain, and it may be because of his mother that he took special care of him.

"Mom, who is the Master Zhou he just mentioned?"

In the original owner's memory, my father once said that my mother was from a great man, but my mother did not explain in detail. Every time the original owner asked, she was worried and seemed to have a lot of sadness. Gradually, the original owner stopped asking.

Zhou Shi silently said softly, "It's my grandfather."

really!

Consistent with Ji Wan's guess, she didn't ask any more questions, but moved all the two heavy boxes and brocade roe into it.

Zhou watched his daughter move back and forth twice, and his face was not extremely excited by the sudden wealth from the sky, but was calm and calm, as if these gold, silver jewelry, brocade, silk, but were just floating clouds.

"Awan."

"Um?"

Ji Wan swept the floor with a broom, and turned around and looked at her mother after hearing this.

Zhou looked at the picturesque eyebrows of the eldest daughter and remembered the words of the boy just now.

The older my daughter grows, the more beautiful it is. It’s better to hide in this countryside. It will gradually become known to people with ulterior motives. How should I protect myself?

After the Chinese New Year, the eldest daughter will be thirteen.

"Do you want to go to the capital?"

Ji Wan was stunned, then shook her head.

"In no mood."

"Why?"

"I was born in Yi Village and grew up in Yi Village. Here are people I know and people who are familiar with me. The capital is just a strange city thousands of miles away. It is indeed prosperous, but it is not what I want."

The capital was full of dignitaries and nobles, as well as her mother's family. Ji Wan could see that her mother didn't want to go back at all, and she didn't even want to mention it. Even if she wanted to leave Yi Village, go to the county town, or go to Yancheng, she didn't want to go to the capital.

In fact, she was very curious about how her mother, a lady from a family, was so down. Why did her mother's relatives ignore her mother over the years? Hearing the tone of the boy just now, he should be very familiar with the Zhou family and even had some connections. Otherwise, he would not have helped them like this.

Zhou didn't speak, his eyes were a little complicated.

Knock--

There was a knock on the door outside.

Ji Wan turned around and opened the door. Miao stood outside the door. When she saw her, she smiled and said, "The generals just now brought two cars of animal skins, including rabbit skin, sheep skin, pig skin, and a lot of cotton. They said that they were asked by the girl from our village to make the gloves you sewed for the military. Everyone didn't understand, let me ask you."

"Oh, you ask everyone to go back first and come over after lunch. I will teach them how to make it. The general said that after making gloves, they have to pay wages, a pair of gloves costs five cents."

"Okay." Miao looked happy and did not ask her how she met noble people. She only reminded: "Awan, wealth is not exposed and it is easy to attract thieves. Although the general just said that theft of the emperor would be sentenced to death, you should be careful not to let the people outside know."

In a remote place like Yi Village, many people have lived in their entire lives and have never seen an official, let alone an imperial edict. It is so loud that it is impossible to be known to others.

Ji Wan knew she had good intentions and nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, I know."

Miao looked at Zhou, who was sitting in the house, as if he was thinking, and turned around and left without saying anything more.

"mother."

Ji Wan looked back at her mother who was sitting still, "We have money and a house now, but we can't move to Deng County. First, we have no foundation in Deng County, and second, we have nothing to do with our family. My meaning is that we should live here first. After I grow the business at home, hire short-term workers, buy maids, and have some connections, then move to Deng County. What about?"

Zhou's thoughts slowly turned around and he nodded.
