Chapter 346 346 Holy Gift, News
The crisis for Li Yu's family has been resolved, but there is still no progress at Chu Feng's place. Shopkeeper Huang's family has disappeared without a trace. A curfew has been imposed in Yunzhou City, and more soldiers are patrolling the city. The people in the border town have become accustomed to this kind of situation. On days that are sometimes tight and sometimes loose, everyone is still busy with their own affairs.
In the blink of an eye, the day came on the second day of September when Zhou Jia and Li Yu had agreed to go home.
Li Yu asked Mrs. Liu to prepare the food that Zhou Jia, Mr. Wen, and Ji Xiang liked to eat. Yangyang looked at Li Yu's happy look with round eyes, "Mom, these are the foods that dad and master like to eat. Master and dad want these." are you back?"
"That's right! Dad and Master are coming back. You should go to class obediently and don't run around, okay?"
Li Yu has been guarding him every step of the way these days, which makes the little guy feel a little strange. He looks at Li Yu with a strange expression, "Oh mother, you have become nagging these days, and you are looking for me after a while. Like Aunt Jade.”
Li Yu was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but laugh, "You are a little grown-up, but you still despise your mother!"
"No way, I'm going to school," Yang Yang twisted his butt, turned around and ran away.
A little after noon, Zhou Jia arrived at the city gate. Jixiang saw Ruyi greeting him at the city gate. He turned to Zhou Jia in the carriage and said loudly: "Master, you see Ruyi came to pick us up. What's going on here?" It’s not too much trouble.”
Ruyi knew what Ji Xiang was talking about just by looking at him, so she smiled and went up to him, "You brat, if I don't come to pick you up, your trip will be in vain later."
Zhou Jia lifted the car curtain and looked at Ruyi, "You guys have moved back to the city, right?"
Ruyi led the horse and walked beside the car, "Yes, sir, it's been a few days since we moved back. Why didn't the old lady come back with you?"
Speaking of Mr. Wen, Zhou Jia couldn't help but smile and sigh, "When I walked to the place where his old man stayed, he left again, just like playing hide and seek with me."
Ji Xiang smiled and said: "Our old man is used to being carefree. He doesn't like to stay in the city all day and prefers to travel around."
As they were talking, they arrived at the city gate. Zhou Jia saw that there were a lot more soldiers guarding the city. They guessed that something might have happened. Seeing that Zhou Jia was followed by government officials and policemen, the guards looked at him casually and let him go.
The group of people returned to the government office. Before Zhou Jia could enter the back office, Wu Ting sent someone to pick him up. Zhou Jia looked at the official document that Wu Ting gave him first, which said that the garrison government office would send someone to take over. city defense.
Zhou Jia was startled, could it be that Qi Jun is here? He asked Wu Tingxian anxiously, "What happened?"
"I'm not very sure," Wu Tingxian looked at Zhou Jia with a sad face, "General Shen only said that he discovered the enemy's situation and had to guard against it, and asked me not to leak it out to avoid causing panic. He also said that he had already reported it to the court."
Zhou Jia walked around the prison room a few times. No wonder Yu'er had moved back to the city. When they were at the gate of the city, Ruyi looked like he was hesitant to speak. It seemed that they knew the inside story. Zhou Jia calmed down and comforted Mr. Wu Ting. , "Old Wu, don't worry too much, we can just do what General Shen said."
Wu Ting was so anxious to see Zhou Jia first because he wanted to get some news from him. Seeing that Zhou Jia was calm and calm, he felt relieved and reported to Zhou Jia the progress of the reconstruction of Xicheng, "Sir, you haven't seen that. The workers are working hard, and the construction site looks the same every day. At this rate, the people who lived in the shacks in Xicheng before winter will have new homes."
Zhou Jia nodded and said with a smile: "This is a good thing! It proves that what we do is popular among the people, and Lao Wu also has a share of your contribution. I will report it to you."
Wu Tingxian smiled with satisfaction and politeness in his heart, "This is all done by my lord. I don't dare to take credit. My lord, you have been tired from traveling all the way. Please go back to the back office to wash up and rest."
"Okay." Zhou Jia cupped her hands at him, turned around and walked towards the back office.
Zhou Jia returned to the back office and saw Li Yu and Yang Yang standing there waiting for him. He looked deeply at Li Yu with a smile in his eyes, picked up his son who was running towards him, and Yang Yang hugged his neck. She kissed him and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom asked Granny Liu to buy something you and Master like to eat. Where is Master?"
"Dad and master missed him and couldn't pick him up." Zhou Jia said, reaching out and holding Li Yu who looked at him with a smile, and the family of three returned to the main courtyard.
Li Yu waited for the father and son to be intimate for a while, then said to Yangyang: "Yang'er, go play with Brother Qijin for a while and come back. Mom and dad have something to talk about."
Yangyang glanced at Li Yu, turned around and kissed Zhou Jia, "Okay." The couple watched him cross the threshold and leave.
"Yu'er, what happened?" Zhou Jia stepped forward and hugged Li Yu. Li Yu told Zhou Jia what happened these days. Zhou Jia was shocked when he heard that she met Qi Bing and held her hands tightly. After Li Yu finished speaking, he looked at her disapprovingly and said, "Yu'er, you are too courageous. What will Yang'er and I do if something goes wrong?"
Li Yu thought that she had space to hide but Zhou Jia didn't know about it, but she still didn't want to tell Zhou Jia about her mysterious space. Seeing that he was angry, she smiled and kissed him, raised her hand and promised, "Don't be angry. I took action after I had found a way out. Xiao Xi, let me tell you that I also found the pickles I had made before in those two people's baggage. I sold the pickle recipes to the Wei family that year. Do you think it is possible? Is the Wei family, like Sihai Bank, Daqi’s eyes and ears?”
Zhou Jia thought for a while after hearing this, "The Wei family has been rising in Dayong for a long time. If the Wei family were the eyes and ears of Daqi, then the emperor of Qi would have already started laying out the layout. The Wei family's shops are all over the city of Dayong. , if it is really true," Zhou Jia felt that this was a big deal, "Yu'er, you must tell Chu Feng this news as soon as possible and ask him to send someone to check the Wei family."
"Okay, let Ruyi go quickly." Li Yu said, Zhou Jia grabbed Li Yu, "It's better that we go in person."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the study, Ruyi ran in, "Sir, madam, shopkeeper Chu is here and said that your majesty gave you something."
"Your Majesty gave you something?" Zhou Jia was stunned for a moment, "Go and greet him quickly." The two of them hurriedly walked outside.
Chu Sihai stood in the courtyard with a dusty look. Zhou Jia cupped his hands and smiled at Chu Sihai, "Looking like this, shopkeeper Chu has just arrived in Yunzhou?"
"I have met Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Li." Chu Sihai cupped his hands towards the two of them and pointed to several boxes beside him with a smile, "These are all given by Your Majesty to Mr. Zhou and the young master. Your Majesty will return them to the young master." The young master gave me the name."
Chu Sihai said and took out the word "Fu" written by the emperor. Zhou Jia pulled Li Yu to kneel down and took the word from the emperor. After thanking him, he stood up.
Chu Sihai looked at the couple and smiled and said: "There are also gadgets in the box that His Majesty gave to the young master, including pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and some cloth jewelry."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Zhou Jia looked at the word "Chen Xi" written on it with a moved face. Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief after reading it and thought to himself, "It's okay. Zhou Xi and Zhou Chenxi have one more word, the name given by the emperor." Pretty reliable.
