Chapter 127 128 Chaos

   Zhou Jia arrived in Tongzhou, and as soon as he returned to Guihua Lane, Mr. Lin's son Lin Yuxuan came to him. Zhou Jia welcomed him to the main room and sat down.

Young Master Lin looked at Zhou Jia and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, you are too unscrupulous, and you are slipping away too fast. If you don't know, I will be miserable. Every day they are pulled out to drink, and my stomach almost vomits out of it. "

Zhou Jia looked at Lin Yuxuan with a distressed face, and cupped his hands at him, "Brother Yuxuan, you know that there is something in my family, and my fiancee is in charge of such a big family by herself, I have to go back and have a look! Hey! How did you know that I came to Tongzhou?"

  Lin Yuxuan proudly shook the invitation card in his hand and looked at Zhou Jia, "I guess you also received an invitation from Governor Xia's house, so I'll stop you! Do you know why his family invited us to a banquet?"

   Zhou Jia smiled and shook his head, "I really don't know, you know? Come on and listen."

Lin Yuxuan tilted his head, "Tongzhou used to be considered a big family in his family, but it has become more and more degraded in recent years. I heard that there is a young lady in his family who has not yet been married, and there are many prostitutes in the family, all of whom have different looks. Yes, I guess he's trying to pick a son-in-law among us."

   Zhou Jia smiled and said, "I have a daughter-in-law, I have nothing to do with it, but you should choose one."

   "I," Lin Yuxuan pointed to himself and laughed, "I'm still thinking about which court official will catch my son-in-law after Chunhong High School! But it's true that we have to be careful when we go tomorrow."

   Zhou Jia nodded with a smile, "I know what I know, thank you Brother Lin!"

  Lin Yuxuan stood up, "Okay, look at the smell of alcohol all over my body, I'll go back and take a break to wash up, see you tomorrow in the Xia Mansion."

   "Okay, I'll take you off." Zhou Jia sent Lin Yuxuan home to wash up and went to Shen Wu's house, who lived behind the garrison yamen.

When    arrived at Shen Wu's house, Lao Pu from Shen Wu's house took the gift box and bowed to thank Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, you are too kind, my young master has something to do, I will report to him when he returns."

   "Old man, I will be in Tongzhou these few days, please tell him when Brother Shen comes back."

   "Okay, Mr. Zhou." The old man bowed in response.

   In the evening, Shen Wu came to Osmanthus Alley, gave a congratulatory gift and smiled and said, "Congratulations to Jie Yuanlang, I heard that you can't even find a figure after high school."

   Zhou Jia also smiled and said, "Brother Shen still doesn't know me! I'm most afraid of drinking and socializing. This time Governor Xia sent me an invitation before I came to Tongzhou, otherwise I would hide in the countryside and not come out."

  Shen Wu glanced at Zhou Jia and whispered to him: "Qingzhou is already in chaos. Some people gathered the victims to make trouble and brought the mob to set the government office on fire. Even the prefect didn't escape."

   Zhou Jia sighed for a while after hearing this, "How could this happen? Didn't the court use the food shipped from Tongzhou for disaster relief?"

Shen Wu sneered and said: "Disaster relief? What to use for disaster relief, the food was almost detained before it reached Qingzhou. The mob looted the homes and shops that had not left in the city, and the border was about to move again. A large number of disaster victims are coming this way, Tongzhou may not be stable a few years ago, and the city will no longer let the disaster victims enter the city, so be careful when you live in the countryside."

   Zhou Jia was shocked after hearing this, but he was still in a mess. Now the peaceful days are gone, "Thank you, Brother Shen, you should be more careful. If you need help, go to Fengming Village to find me."

   "Okay, I still have business to do, so I'll go back first, and we'll get together after the new year." Shen Wu replied cheerfully.

Zhou Jia sent Shen Wu away and felt heavy in his heart. He turned around and went out to the pharmacy to buy some medicines for gold wounds and colds and coughs. He went to the blacksmith Xu's shop to find him to buy some black market arrows and hand crossbows. The short arrows used, go to the shop after the order is made, let Jixiang and Zhaocai deliver the goods as soon as possible, and no longer accept new orders.

   Zhao Cai looked at Zhou Jia puzzled, "Master, business is getting more and more prosperous now, why should you stop?"

   Zhou Jia told the news to the two of them, and the two of them were stunned after hearing it. Jixiang said sullenly: "It looks good and then there is trouble, why is there no time for peace?"

   Zhou Jia warmly comforted the two of them, "There will always be someone from Jitai, auspicious, you bring the medicines home, and let people drive out the ordered goods and pull them over to deliver them."

   Jixiang bowed and said: "Yes, young master, I will set off now."

   After noon the next day, Zhou Jia went to the Xia Mansion and saw that the gate of the Xia Mansion was full of carriages, and Governor Xia and Young Master Xia stood at the door to welcome guests.

   Zhou Jia entered the Xia Mansion, Lin Yuxuan waved to him when he saw Zhou Jia in the pavilion, "Come on, Brother Zhou, I'm here!"

Zhou Jia entered the pavilion, and Xu Juren Xu Tong, who was sitting on the side, saw how familiar the two of them were, and said yin and yang strangely: "Zhou Jieyuan is really hard to ask for! I have posted several times, and everyone in your family said that you are not here. Why are you here again?"

   Zhou Jia glanced at him and said lightly, "Brother Xu, please forgive me, I can't come to the appointment in the countryside."

  Lin Yuxuan patted Xu Tong and said with a smile: "I know that he is indeed not in Tongzhou, and he has long since returned to the countryside."

   At this time, Governor Xia walked in and smiled and said to several people, "Why are you all sitting here? It's all young people, don't sit still here, everyone, let's go to the garden to enjoy the flowers!"

  Lin Yuxuan said loudly: "Sir, let's go right now."

   As he said that, he pulled Zhou Jia towards the garden and walked along the road, and saw that the garden was full of colorful chrysanthemums.

Lin Yuxuan pointed at the pots of ink chrysanthemum and praised, "Brother Zhou, look at these pots of ink chrysanthemum in the Xia family. The flower trays are huge, the stamens are thick, the petals are silky, and the colors are like ink. They are really top-quality chrysanthemums, um! Yes, good!"

   Zhou Jia pointed at the wild chrysanthemums on the flower stand and said with a smile: "I still like these wild chrysanthemums, how festive you look, it makes people feel alive at a glance."

   At this time, the two of them heard a coquettish laugh, and a girl walked out from behind the flower stand gracefully, and bowed her knees to the two of them, "I can't believe that Xie Yuanlang's explanation of flowers is so unique."

   Zhou Jia glanced at her, frowned, took a few steps back and turned away.

  Lin Yuxuan looked at the girl and smiled lightly: "I didn't know the girl was here, I was disturbed." After speaking, he chased Zhou Jia away.

  The maid behind the girl dissatisfied and watched the two walk away, "Girl, this Jie Yuanlang is really rude, he left without even saying hello."

   "Not much to say." The girl looked at the backs of Zhou Jia and Lin Yuxuan and said to herself, "It's a pity, these two are not characters at the mercy of others.

  The girl turned to the maid and said, "Xiao Cui, let's go!

   Zhou Jia and Lin Yuxuan didn't want to appreciate the flowers and went back to sit in the pavilion. They sat for a while until the banquet was over before heading back home.

When Zhou Jia left the city early the next morning, he found that there were a few more guards at the city gate, and the interrogation of people entering and leaving the city gate was even tighter. There were many people waiting to enter the city.

Zhou Jia returned to Fengming Village and frowned and said to Li Yu: "Yu'er, when I went out of the city this time, I found that the number of guards at the city gate increased. Shen Wu said that the city gate would only be closed a few years ago. , we should think about the countermeasures.”

Li Yu thought about it for a while, "At that time, there are really people looting, and the only way is to stop them outside the village. I went to Uncle Chen to tell him the news, let him block a few openings, and then block the entrance to the village. Build two walls at the big intersection, and make a wooden gate to seal off the village.”
