I'm afraid it's not Jin Jiashu's turn to decide whether to adopt or not.
The town government may not be able to decide.
Haitang said: "This matter probably depends on what the palace means after receiving the letter from Chang'an. If Concubine Xu Xian prefers Jin Jiashu, this 'nephew', to stay in Chang'an, the Zhenguo Palace will make arrangements. And there Until now, Jin Jiashu should stay at the villa to recover from his injuries."
Hai Jiao sighed: "Today Jin Jiashu also asked his great-uncle. He has been staying at the villa to disturb him and is feeling uneasy. If he can buy real estate in Chang'an City by himself? Since he is not familiar with the place in Chang'an, if he is a member of the Zhou family It would be great if you are willing to inquire on your behalf. But my uncle hesitated and refused to agree, and he probably did not dare to make the decision."
The sons of General Tuesday and General Thursday were a little surprised when they heard Jin Jiashu's words. They probably didn't expect that Jin Jiashu, a child half a year younger than them, who was still injured, had difficulty moving, and had no relatives or servants around him, would actually have the idea of living alone. Although the Zhou family's three-bedroom villa is far away from the city, there are farmers and servants here who can take care of him, and veterans can also protect his safety. If he moves away and lives in his own house, his living conditions may not be that good. His personal safety alone may not be guaranteed.
Zhou Shigong refused to help Jin Jiashu buy a property, and the two young masters of the town government also advised Jin Jiashu to rest in peace and recover from his injuries at the villa. Hai Jiao felt uncomfortable seeing Jin Jiashu's disappointed and lonely look. Later, he asked him behind other people's back what his plans were for the future.
But Jin Jiashu was probably also waiting for a reply from his relatives and had no idea in mind. It's just that Haijiao is testing his words. He should still prefer to buy his own property and live there instead of staying under the wings of the Zhou family and accepting shelter.
Hai Jiao feels that the Sun family is still arrogant now, and he doesn't know if they will send killers to Chang'an to harm people again. It would be safer for Jin Jiashu to stay on the Zhou family's territory. Even if he is not used to being under the shelter of others, he should at least wait until his injury recovers. Otherwise, if he is in danger, it will be inconvenient for him to escape.
Haitang thought for a while: "Jin Jiashu has been separated from his biological mother since he was a child. His stepmother is unkind, and his biological father has become half a stepfather. The people in the second room of the Jin family are also very unfriendly to him. He should not be used to living under someone else's roof. I think he may have other ideas? In fact, he has money now. If he buys his own property in Chang'an City, and buys a few honest and reliable servants to take care of his daily life, there is nothing wrong with it. His own place is better than It's more comfortable to stay in someone else's home. As for the security problem, whether he pays for his own guards or the Zhou family sends a few veterans to guard around his house, it can be solved.
"If the Sun family could openly cause chaos in Chang'an City, there would be no need to trick Jin Juren out of the city and kill them that day. In fact, I think Chang'an City is safer than Biezhuang. After all, Biezhuang is too remote and the place is too big. If a killer sneaks into the village to kill people, the veterans on the village may not always be able to find it. Jin Jiashu lives alone now and is in more danger. He has been fine all this time because Zhang Pinggui and his accomplices have been arrested, and the remaining People in the country don’t know where he lives, and the Sun family in the capital haven’t gotten the news yet.”
Before the Sun family knew about his resting place, Jin Jiashu had better move away from the village.
Hai Jiao felt that the younger sister's words made sense: "Indeed... now that many people know that he lives in the Zhou family's three-bedroom villa, it is inevitable that someone will leak the news... Even if the Sun family does not send anyone over, they have placed one in Chang'an. I don’t know if all the spies have been caught. It would be better for Jin Jiashu to move to a place where few people know, and just have contact with our family and the Zhou family. If he were in the city, it would be convenient for him to see the doctor and get medicine. He wanted to inquire about the news. It’s easy. Even if the Sun family really sends a killer over again, the Zhenguo Government can arrange someone to protect him.”
But Jin Jiashu was moving into the city, and his injury became the biggest problem.
Haitang asked Haijiao: "How is his injury? Is he completely unable to move?"
Hai Jiao replied: "It's not that he can't move, it's just that he needs to use crutches and can't touch the injured leg. The other uninjured leg is fine. The doctor asked him to move less so as not to affect the healing of the bones in the leg. I think To move your body, just move your upper body. A few days ago, when the weather was good, he was carried to the yard to bask in the sun by the veterans responsible for guarding him. He also asked me to teach him boxing, saying that if he learned it, he would be able to Even if you are a bad person, you still have some ability to protect yourself.”
If you can be carried around by someone, then you should be able to sit in a wheelchair, right?
Haitang tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked Hai Jiao a question: "Does my brother know any famous carpenters in Chang'an City? Can they customize tables, chairs, carriages, etc.?"
Hai Jiao blinked: "Do you want to help Jin Jiashu customize a more stable carriage? He has thought of this for a long time. He even sent someone to inquire and found a suitable craftsman. He even paid a deposit. He In order to meet Aunt Jin in private, I made a lot of preparations. It was only when I wrote to him to persuade him that he temporarily gave up the idea. However, the carriage is still being worked on, and it can always be used in the future. If everything goes well, it will be completed after the Lantern Festival. . Today Jin Jiashu asked me to go to the carpenter’s house to check on the progress of the carriage when I have time."
Haitang said: "In that case, let me go to the carpenter's place and have a look. If the carpenter is good at craftsmanship and fast, after he builds the carriage, I will take care of another business for him."
Hai Jiao asked what kind of business it was, but Hai Tang just smiled and said nothing. He had no choice but to give up and continue talking about his experience at the other village.
Zhou Shigong chose to visit Jin Jiashu in Biezhuang on the first day of the new year, under the guise of paying New Year greetings, but actually he wanted to show his goodwill. Not only did he defend himself, but he also said a few good words for Zhou Shicheng, the younger brother born to Mrs. Ma.
He said that Zhou Shicheng had been stationed abroad for many years and did not know anything about his mother and sister. He was shocked when he found out about it. He even wrote several letters to his brother, urging him to act with caution and not to be blinded by family affection. Turning a blind eye, he protected his mother and sister who had made mistakes. Even if they have to kill their relatives for the sake of justice, they must realize that they are always children of the Zhou family, and no matter what they do, they must take into account the interests of the Zhou family and the overall situation of the northwest military and civilians.
Zhou Shigong was moved by his brother's profound righteousness, and he couldn't help but intercede for his brother in front of the sufferer Jin Jiashu. It's just that Jin Jiashu didn't care about the chaos inside the third room of the Zhou family. He didn't even care that Mrs. Ma protected the killer who wanted to kill him. Anyway, she was exposed in the end and did not escape the blame. As for whether her children will be implicated—it depends on what each of them has done. If Zhou Shicheng had done nothing, he would not need to bear any responsibility. And Zhou Shuyi has indeed done it... She did not harm the Jin family, but the Zhou family and the Zeng family. The Zhou family and the Zeng family can decide what punishment she will receive.
Jin Jiashu believed that he was an outsider and was not qualified to interfere with the Zhou family's household affairs.
Zhou Shigong kept grimacing after hearing this. Of course, he didn't want Jin Jiashu, an outsider, to interfere in his family's affairs. He just... wanted Jin Jiashu to be a messenger and convey his thoughts to the Duke of Zhen and the old military advisor. It was best to convey his thoughts to the Queen Mother Zhou and Concubine Xu Xian. , that would be perfect.
He really didn't want his brother to be involved with his stepmother and sister. There are too few people who can use the three bedrooms of the Zhou family now. The fourteenth branch of the branch completely turned against the third house because of Mrs. Ma. Zhou Jinpu was already dead. Zhou Jinlin could not support himself alone. His grandchildren were still too young. If Zhou Shicheng was lost again, Zhou Shigong felt that it would be too difficult for him to support the whole family on his own. . He really doesn't want to see Sanfang decline...
