Chapter 5 Jia Huan's beginning to show his ambition
After leaving the Jia family, Jia Huan walked slowly with his schoolbag alone.
While admiring the scenery I had never seen before, I was thinking about something to do.
After all, it was still early, and it was around nine o'clock in the morning, and there was nothing to do after going back.
So I thought about walking around and looking around.
But not long after I left, I saw a man in his thirties running over with a smile on his face and asked, "San Master, why did you come here if you are not studying in the clan school at this time?"
It turned out that as Jia Huan walked, he actually came to the back street of Ningrong Street. According to the memories in his memory, the person who came was Zhao Guoji.
Zhao Guoji, his identity is Aunt Zhao's brother, and his own uncle. He is a male servant of Rongguo Mansion. He is with him to school. It is just that because Jia Zheng gave him ten days off, Zhao Guoji thought he would not go to school, so he rested at home.
There are actually very few narratives about Zhao Guoji (see Chapter 55). When Zhao Guoji died, Tanchun was managing his family. In order to send the amount of silver rewards, Aunt Zhao and Tanchun had a big fuss.
According to the 55th chapter of the original work, Wang Xifeng fell ill and when Tanchun was managing the family, Zhao Guoji died. Wu Xindeng's family came to report the news, waiting for Tanchun to give out silver rewards.
Because Zhao Guoji is the brother of Aunt Zhao, he can only reward twenty taels of silver according to the rules, and there are old accounts to follow.
Wu Xindeng's bullying Tanchun is an unmarried girl. She wants to test her ability to manage the family. If Tanchun is smart, she would have nothing to do, and she will be relieved from then on.
If Tanchun did something badly, she would treat this as a laughing stock. Unexpectedly, Tanchun gave her a warning and snatched her to the point of blushing.
After looking at Zhao Guoji, I found that this man was smiling from the bottom of his heart, with a simple face, and he knew he was an honest and honest person at a glance.
Seeing Zhao Guoji looking at him, Jia Huan smiled and said, "Why don't my uncle have a good rest at home? The master rarely gives me a few days off, but I can't live in leisure, so I went to school.
Today, my husband took the exam for my elementary school reading materials and found that I knew it, so I only had another month's vacation."
In an ordinary sentence, Zhao Guoji was indeed shocked and quickly bent down and said, "San Master, don't say that. I dare not be a slave to the title of uncle, and don't do this again in the future, otherwise I will be scolded if I hear him."
Zhao Guoji worked diligently and honestly throughout his life. He was as afraid of the rules of the big family. When he heard Jia Huan call him uncle, his first reaction was not to be happy, but to be afraid.
Looking at Zhao Guoji with a worried look on his face, Jia Huan sighed, and then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll call you your name, but in my heart, you are still my uncle!"
"Thank you, the third master, I am very kind. I remember the servant, I am grateful!" Zhao Guoji said in panic.
Seeing this, Jia Huan was helpless, but he couldn't stand the fact that he was not a slave, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then don't call himself a slave in front of me. Logically speaking, you are my uncle, although because of family rules, you can't call you uncle.
But the world is so big, and my uncle is the biggest. From now on, you will call yourself me. If you have an outsider, you will follow these boring rules!"
"Okay, I've remembered it!"
"Let's go, take me everywhere. It's rare to have time to go out for a walk. It's not interesting to go back so early. I just took out the money and bought some paper and pens to go back. The family was almost used up!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoji smiled and said, "Haha, the Third Master will follow me. I am very familiar with this area and can save some money for the Third Master!"
As he said that, Zhao Guoji led the way forward, and Jia Huan quickly followed.
While walking, I listened to Zhao Guoji's introduction to the scope of each shop, such as those selling rouge, tea, and various pastries. There are countless, and there are almost all kinds of things on the back street of Ningrong.
Jia Huan listened interestingly, especially when Zhao Guoji learned the accent of businessmen from all over the world and made fun of himself.
As he walked, Jia Huan felt empty in his stomach, so he pulled Zhao Guoji to a roadside stall, each ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles. While eating, Jia Huan asked, "Did you think about what you will do in the future? You can't be a slave in the Jia Mansion all your life, right?"
As soon as these words were said, Zhao Guoji was frightened. He quickly advised in a low voice: "San Master, don't say this anymore, I... I am a slave of the Jia family, I'm holding my body in the house, and I'll be like this for the rest of my life.
And I have always been doing some rough work, so what if I don’t do this?
In this world, if you can have a bite of food, it would be great to survive.”
It can be heard that Zhao Guoji is a honest and honest person. Although his life is not satisfactory, he is very content.
Jia Huan smiled and said, "Don't just plan for your whole life like this. Your life still has a long way to go.
A real man can bend and stretch.
Since you can be at ease with such a poor life, why don’t you dare to give it a try?
I want to find the master and return your contract to you. You can follow me in the future. I promise you will live more comfortably than you are now. How about it?"
Zhao Guoji was very moved. If he had the opportunity to avoid being a slave, who would really be willing?
Moreover, he found that the Third Master had changed, and the past was gone, and replaced by a kind of magnificent atmosphere.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he could feel in his heart that the third master is more than a hundred times better than the third master before.
So he said respectfully: "If I could really be as the Third Master said, I would definitely work hard for the Third Master!"
Looking at Zhao Guoji who was speaking with confidence, Jia Huan smiled. He knew that such an honest and honest person also had his own pursuits, and it was because he had no choice but to do anything about it.
And now the opportunity is in front of him, even if it is just a glimmer of hope, he will seize it.
At the same time, Jia Huan was also happy. If Zhao Guoji could not accept the olive branch he had given, then at most it would be for Aunt Zhao to take care of her for the sake of her husband's face.
After all, people who are numb in life lose confidence and hope, and those who have no pursuit in their hearts deserve to live their life in a daze. Such people can't help Liu A Dou at all.
Fortunately, Zhao Guoji caught it and showed his loyalty. No matter how capable he is, he will be saved.
After eating, Jia Huan paid ten cents and took Zhao Guoji to the store selling the four treasures of the study.
Jia Huan was walking in front and Zhao Guoji was walking behind. At this moment, Zhao Guoji's glasses were staring at Jia Huan, as if a trace of light flashed, which was many times better than the previous pool of stagnant water.
