Before the words fell, the curtain had been lowered, and the string of bright laughter like silver bells had dissipated in the cold wind.
Wait a minute...... Didn't my sister-in-law know that she had been lifted? So...... The concern and persuasion just now was just a temporary idea, right? I...... It seems a bit self-inflicted.
Jiang Dacai, who realized this, immediately felt that the cold wind was to the bone, and he was about to freeze him into a quail.
Back in the house, Fang Caiwei asked Jing Zexian to take Ah Jia to treat the wound, and she turned around and went back to the room, but listened to Jing Zexian: "Sister-in-law, what about the wound after treatment?" How are you going to place him? β
Fang Caiwei had already walked out more than a dozen steps, and she didn't look back when she heard the words, she only waved her hand and said: "After processing, I will send someone to Jingying to give your eldest brother, saying that it is a winter gift I gave him, so that he must make the best use of it, and don't waste my ten taels of silver." β
"Oh...... Good. β
Jing Zexian agreed, and when he turned around, he saw Ah Jia shaking like a quail in the cold wind, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you?" β
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Ah Jia sighed, withdrew the sad look on his face, lowered his head and said softly: "Since you have entered here, you will naturally be at the disposal of the masters." β
"Huh?"
Jing Zexian didn't seem to be quite right when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, you are the domestic servant who fought against my eldest brother on behalf of the prince of the He family in the Capture the Flag operation, right?" Think we took the trouble to buy you in revenge? Don't think nonsense, who has the leisure to do such a boring thing, my sister-in-law asked me to send you to my eldest brother, because my eldest brother admires you very much, so he wants to send you over to help him do things. β
Before the words fell, I saw Ah Jia suddenly raise his head, looking incredulous, and after a long time, he said again: "But...... But the grandmother said, "I'm a gift, a gift...... Isn't it just at the disposal of it? β
"Hey! That's my sister-in-law's joke, she's a person who just likes to joke. Don't worry, even if you let it be disposed of, my eldest brother is not a fool like He Fugui, if you leave the He family and come to him, you will get out of the sea of suffering and return to the world. Let's take a walk, let's deal with the wound first, you look at your whip wounds, still oozing blood, why don't you know the pain? And the mind to talk to me here. β
Ah Jia looked down at the injuries on his body, and said nonchalantly: "This is nothing, I don't know how many injuries were more serious than this before." β
Jing Zexian couldn't help but be stunned, it was clear that this Ah Jia was still very afraid that his eldest brother would take the opportunity to retaliate and humiliate him, but now he has such an indifferent attitude towards being covered with scars, isn't this a contradiction?
I was puzzled, and I remembered what Fang Caiwei said about her eldest brother's appreciation for this person, so she couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law said that eldest brother appreciates and values you very much, so you have fought on the battlefield?" β
"Yes. The slave went to serve as a soldier at the age of seventeen and spent more than ten years on the battlefield until he was lame and could not serve in front of the army, so he returned home. I spent all the money for Lao Tzuniang's treatment, and I had no choice but to sell myself as a slave. β
Ah Jia's tone was indifferent, Jing Zexian was still a little naΓ―ve, and he was surprised when he heard this: "Compared to selling yourself into slavery now, you don't seem to miss the battlefield at all, why is this?" β
Ah Jia also looked very surprised, blinked his eyes and said, "Why do you miss the battlefield?" It's a dead man's heap. β
Jing Zexian was speechless for a long time, and then said: "Huangsha wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken." Isn't it better to live and die happily on the battlefield than your life as a slave? β
Ah Jia then understood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Forgive the slave for bluntly speaking, this is just the idea of the second master, you noble sons, if you really come to the battlefield, you can't even decide life and death, and if you lose a battle, famous generals and soldiers may be buried in the yellow sand together." What is the happiness of life and death, how can it be so chic? Xu is a slave has no interest, the slave feels, it is better to die than to live This is more reasonable, in short, the slave does not want to die, the slave still has an old lady to support, if the slave dies, she is an old man who is almost seventy, how can she live? β
"Well, filial piety is commendable." Jing Zexian was actually quite speechless, looking at Ah Jia's eyes, he couldn't help but be a little more suspicious, and secretly said that this guy is so afraid of death, could it be a deserter? If this is the case, then it makes sense that he is willing to endure humiliation and steal life under He Fugui's hands.
Although Ah Jia is honest, he is not stupid, and when he receives such a straightforward look from the second master, why don't he understand? smiled bitterly at the moment: "Second master, don't doubt it, I'm not a deserter." Although you are greedy for life, you can't be afraid of death on the battlefield, you haven't been there, you haven't fought with the Tartars, otherwise you will know that the more afraid you are of death on the battlefield, the easier it is to die, be a deserter? There are thousands of troops around, where are you fleeing? Therefore, you can only move forward, and once you retreat, if you don't die under the enemy's sword, you will die at the feet of your own people, and you may also cause countless comrades-in-arms to die tragically. The minions were lucky enough to survive until they went home, although they were lame, but compared to their comrades-in-arms who would never come back, the minions were very content. β
This is the first time that Second Master Jing has heard the cruelty of the battlefield, and he can't help but feel related, he stretched out his hand and patted Ah Jia's shoulder, and said softly: "Go to the eldest brother's side and do it well, don't worry, our house is more humane than Hefu, if you do well, let the eldest brother and sister-in-law talk, maybe Yueyin can give you a little more, so that you can settle down at home." β
Ah Jia nodded violently, and was about to say a few words of gratitude, when he heard an anxious and crisp voice behind him say eagerly: "Stop, you stop for me, you bear child......"
The two of them turned around together, first a blue shadow came into view, and then they saw the black and white dumplings in front of her. Seeing that there were two people blocking the way, he immediately rushed to a nearby tree, using all fours, and quickly climbed to the middle, and his movements were very agile and flexible.
"My sister-in-law's two pets." Jing Zexian smiled slightly and said to Ah Jia: "Do you know?" This is called a flower bear, don't say it, it's black and white, it's really cute, don't offend anyone in this house, don't offend them, this is my sister-in-law's heart. β
Ah Jia nodded wordlessly, could he not know this flower bear? At the last moment of the capture of the flag operation that day, the two flower bears shined, and the limelight even overshadowed the prince of the Jing family, and I heard that even the emperor praised them for their cuteness, no wonder Mrs. Shizi loved them so much.
While thinking about it, he saw that the shadow finally arrived in front of him, stopped and saluted, and said to Jing Zexian: "Second master." Then he looked at Ah Jia in surprise and said with concern: "Second master, what's wrong with this person?" Why is it full of wounds on the head? β
"Didn't you meet your sister-in-law? She didn't tell you? Jing Zexian smiled: "This is the person she earned back." β
