Chapter 264 265 Brothers, Family

Mrs. Xu saw the two people standing not far away and said to Yangyang and Qijin: "Young master, the master and his wife are here." The two people who were rubbing mud looked up and saw the two of them, "Dad" Yangyang dropped his hands Qijin looked at the mud in his hands and suddenly felt guilty, lowering his head and slowly followed Yangyang.

Zhou Jia looked at the mud on the two of them and said with a face: "Did your mother just give you two a bath an hour ago?"

Seeing that his father did not hug him with a smile like before, Yangyang pouted in grievance. Hearing his father's question, he still nodded. Qijin looked at Zhou Jia and said seriously: "Master, Madam gave us an hour ago I took a shower and changed my clothes.”

Zhou Jia knelt down, looked at the two of them and said, "I won't talk about my wife giving you a bath and changing clothes. That piece of land was planted by Grandma Liu with green onions and cabbage. You know that, right? You put the rapeseed and cabbage in the field If the spring onions are trampled to death, Mrs. Liu will become white, right?"

The two turned to look at the green onions that had been pulled out and thrown to the ground. They rubbed the dirt on their fat hands and nodded: "Yes."

Zhou Jia asked again: "Do you think this is right?" Qijin nodded honestly: "No, we were wrong."

Yangyang looked at Li Yu who was standing aside and said the wrong thing too. Zhou Jia looked at the two of them and asked, "Will you still play like this in the future?"

"No." The two shook their heads, and Zhou Jia slapped their butts, "Look at how dirty you are."

The two looked at their hands, then looked at each other and saw each other's painted face. They touched each other's painted face and smiled "hehe". Qijin saw the green onions on Yangyang's braid and burst into laughter. He reached out and took off the green onions from Yangyang's head: "Yangyang has grown horns."

Zhou Jia smiled and patted their fleshy little butts: "Go back quickly, wash up and have dinner."

"Oh! Let's go back to eat!" The two of them jumped happily and walked back.

Li Yu watched the two people running happily: "Qijin, this child is over three years old. After the New Year, you should ask your husband to enlighten him. Xiaoxi, you and Ruyi can discuss it and apply for a household registration for them, so as not to delay the child in the future. future."

Zhou Jia held Li Yu's hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it, smiling happily: "You and I have thought of being together. I have told them before that the four of us grew up together, were born and died together, and experienced After so many ups and downs, I have long regarded them as my family members and brothers in my heart. I have proposed several times to take them to cancel their slave status, but the three of them refused to agree. Now for the sake of the children, they should agree. Bar!"

Li Yu has always felt that the relationship between Zhou Jia and Ruyi is more like family and brothers. After getting along with them for a few years, he also treats them as family members.

"That's right! Although we don't treat them as outsiders, the children can't stop studying or taking academic exams. You can call the three of them together later and talk to them about your thoughts."

The couple discussed it, and after dinner, Zhou Jia called Ruyi and the others to the main hall. Seeing Zhou Jia sitting upright with a serious look on his face, the three of them thought something had happened, and asked worriedly: "Master, what happened? ?is it serious?"

"You guys sit down, I have something to say to you."

After several people sat down, Zhou Jia said to them: "I have told you before that you, Uncle Zhou, Aunt He and I are nominally masters and servants. In my heart, you are my brothers and family. I have been with you before." You said that your slave status would be cancelled, but you disagreed to the death. Now that Ruyi has married, Jixiang and Zhaocai will soon have your own family with children. Ruyi's seven pounds are more than three weeks old. Now, I have reached the age of enlightenment. Madam asked me to invite a master to come back and enlighten Qijin and Yangyang. If the child is talented in studying, he must pursue an official career. If you pursue an official career, you cannot be a slave. I want to give you slave status. Get rid of it, so as not to delay the child's future."

Ruyi and others listened to Zhou Jia's words and remembered the happiness, ups and downs that the four masters and servants had experienced together. They shouted: "Master," and knelt down in front of Zhou Jia with red eyes, choked with sobs and could not say a word anymore. Words come.

Zhou Jia looked at several people with red eyes. He stood up and helped a few people up and said with a smile: "If you are a man and shed tears, Yangyang and Qijin will laugh at you if they see you."

Ruyi and several others said in unison: "Master, no matter when and where we are, the three of us will always be your Ruyi, bringing good luck and wealth."

After several people sat down again, Zhou Jia said to them: "Madam said, give one share of the profits from the shares of the wool and bag business we cooperated with Sihai Bank to the three of you. We will continue to carry out business as planned before."

The three of them knew that since they cooperated with Sihai Bank, bag and wool shops have been opened in all major prefectures and counties in Dayong. The 10% dividend was shared equally among the three of them, and they also had tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. It was too much, and the three of them shook their heads together. He said: "Master, it's too much. Please talk to your wife. Half a percent is enough."

Zhou Jia smiled and said: "After you all get married, you will have your own house, a wife, and children. Don't say anything and just listen to your wife. Tomorrow, Zhaocai'er and I will go check the grain in the warehouse, and Ah Qing After the exam this autumn, I will leave for Kyoto. In a few days, I will go to Tongzhou to make money. I will go to Kyoto with Ah Qing to see if there are suitable houses to buy. I will also decide on your marriage. Okay, let's go back to our houses. Go and rest."

Seeing that Zhou Jia and Li Yu had already made up their minds, the few people said no more, bowed and retreated.

Wu Ting rushed to Xingfu Town angrily, and took people to Xingfu Town overnight and went straight to Wu Yueze's house.

After taking the government servants and police officers in, they found that the Wu family's yard was filled with boxes and cages. It seemed that Wu Yueze had sensed something was wrong and planned to hide his belongings.

Wu Ting first took the arrest document to the policeman and the government servant, and said: "Take them all, search and find all the belongings and put them in custody."

Wu Yueze and a beautiful and charming woman ran out of the house after hearing the news. When they saw Wu Tingxian leading the government servants and police officers, they knew that the situation was over.

The couple were lucky enough to kneel at the feet of Wu Tingxian. Wu Yueze said with a hint of menace in his words: "Sir, I really don't know about the evil things Zhong Bao did outside. I beg you, please take this into consideration." Please let me go this time out of love."

Wu Ting walked to Wu Yueze first, squatted down and looked at him and sneered twice, "Love? What kind of love can I have with a traitor like you? Don't forget the calligraphy and paintings you sent me. All the money has been settled with you. What you did by indulging Zhong Bao and those gangsters has been verified." Wu Tingxian stood up and pointed at Wu Tingxian and Zhong, "Come and capture them all."

Wu Yueze and Mr. Zhong sat slumped on the ground, looking at the boxes and cages all over the yard. They knew in their hearts that no matter how many fine clothes, delicacies, gold, silver and jewelry they would have in the future, they would have no chance of them.
