Chapter 349: Holy Bestowment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The crisis in Li Yu’s family had been resolved, but there was still no progress with Chu Feng. Shopkeeper Huang’s higher-ups were nowhere to be seen. The curfew had already begun in Yunzhou City, and there were more patrolling soldiers in the city. The citizens of the border city were already used to days that alternated between strict and relaxed enforcement. Everyone was still busy with their own matters.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day of September, the day Zhou Jia had agreed with Li Yu to go home.

Li Yu asked Old Madam Liu to prepare the favorite dishes of Zhou Jia and Mr.

Wen. Yangyang widened his round eyes and looked at Li Yu’s happy expression.

“Mother, these are Father and Grandmaster’s favorite food. Are Grandmaster and Father coming back?”

“That’s right! Father and Grandmaster are coming back. Be good and go to class, understand?”

Li Yu had been guarding him these days, making the little guy feel a little strange. He looked at Li Yu strangely. “Aiya, Mother, you’ve become naggy these past few days. You’re looking for me after not seeing me for a while, just like Auntie Yu.”

Li Yu was dumbfounded and couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you despising your mother?”

“No, I’m going to school.” Yangyang turned around and ran.

After a while at noon, Zhou Jia arrived at the city gate. When Ji Xiang saw Ruyi welcoming him at the city gate, he turned to Zhou Jia in the carriage and said loudly, “Master, Ruyi even came to pick us up. Isn’t it troublesome to go back and forth?”

Ruyi knew what Ji Xiang was talking about by the look on his face. He smiled and went up to him. “Brat, you’ll have made a wasted trip later if I don’t pick you up.”

Zhou Jia lifted the curtain and looked at Ruyi. “Have you moved back to the

Ruyi led the horse by the car. “Yes, Master. It’s been a few days since we moved back. Why didn’t Old Master come back with you?”

Speaking of Mr. Wen, Zhou Jia couldn’t help but smile and sigh. “When I reached his place, he left again. It was like he was hiding from me.”

Ji Xiang smiled and said, “Our Old Master is used to being unrestrained. He doesn’t like to stay in the city all day and likes to travel around.”

As they spoke, they arrived at the city gate. Zhou Jia saw that the number of city guards had increased greatly and guessed that something might have happened. Seeing that Zhou Jia had bailiffs and constables following him, the city guards casually looked around and let him go.

The group returned to the government office. Before Zhou Jia could enter the back office, Wu Tingxian sent someone to pick him up. Zhou Jia looked at the official document that Wu Tingxian had handed him. It said that the garrison office would send someone to take over the city defense.

Zhou Jia was stunned. Could it be that the Qi soldiers were here? He asked Wu

Tingxian anxiously, “What happened?”

“I’m not very sure either.” Wu Tingxian looked at Zhou Jia with a worried expression. “General Shen only said that he discovered the enemy and had to be wary. He asked me not to leak it to avoid causing panic. He even said that he had already reported it to the Imperial Court.”

Zhou Jia walked around the detention room a few times. No wonder Yu’er had moved back to the city. At the city gate, Ruyi looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. It seemed that they knew the inside story. Zhou Jia calmed himself down and comforted Wu Tingxian. “Old Wu, don’t worry too much. We’ll do as General Shen says.”

Wu Tingxian was in a hurry to see Zhou Jia because he wanted to get information from him. Seeing that Zhou Jia was calm and composed, he calmed down and reported the progress of the reconstruction of the West City to Zhou Jia. “Sir, those who are working don’t hesitate to work. The construction site is different every day. At this speed, the commoners in the West City shacks will have new residences before winter.”

Zhou Jia nodded and smiled. “This is a good thing! It proves that what we did is well-liked by the people. Old Wu, you contributed to it. I’ll report it.”

Wu Tingxian smiled in satisfaction and politeness. “This was all planned by Sir. I don’t dare to take credit. Sir has been tired from the long journey. Go back to the back office to wash up and rest first.”

“Alright.” Zhou Jia cupped his hands at him and turned to walk towards the back office.

When Zhou Jia returned to the back office, he saw Li Yu and Yangyang waiting for him. He looked at Li Yu with a smile and picked up his son, who was running towards him. Yangyang hugged his neck and kissed him. He smiled and said, “Father, Mother asked Granny Liu to buy what you and Grandmaster like to eat. Where’s Grandmaster?”

“Father and Grandmaster missed each other and I couldn’t pick him up.” As Zhou Jia spoke, he reached out and held Li Yu, who was smiling at him. The family of three returned to the main courtyard.

Li Yu waited for the father and son to be intimate for a while before saying to Yangyang, “Yang’er, go play with Brother Seven Pounds for a while and come back. Mother and Father have something to discuss.”

Yangyang glanced at Li Yu and turned to kiss Zhou Jia. “Alright.” The couple watched him cross the threshold to leave.

“Yu’er, what happened?” Zhou Jia went forward and hugged Li Yu. Li Yu told

Zhou Jia what had happened these days. When Zhou Jia heard that she had met Qi soldiers, he was shocked and held Li Yu’s hand tightly. After Li Yu finished speaking, he looked at her disapprovingly and said, “Yu’er, you’re too bold.

What if something happens to you? What will happen to Yang’er and me?”

Li Yu thought to herself that Zhou Jia didn’t know that she had space to hide, but she still didn’t want to tell Zhou Jia that she had a mysterious space. Seeing that he was angry, she smiled and kissed him. She raised her hand and promised, “Don’t be angry. I found a way out before taking action. Xiao Xi, let me tell you, I found the pickled vegetables I made in the past in those two people’s bags. That year, I sold the pickled vegetable recipe to the Wei family. Do you think it’s possible that the Wei family is serving as the eyes and ears of Great Qi like the Four Seas Bank in Great Yong?”

When Zhou Jia heard this, he thought for a moment. “The Wei family has been rising in Great Yong for a long time. If the Wei family is serving as Great Qi’s eyes and ears, the emperor of Qi Country would have long begun to plan. The Wei family’s shops are all over Great Yong’s state capital. If it’s really…” Zhou Jia felt that this was a serious matter. “Yu’er, we have to quickly tell Chu Feng this news and ask him to send someone to investigate the Wei family.”

“Alright, let Ruyi go quickly,” Li Yu said. Zhou Jia pulled Li Yu back. “Let’s go personally.”

The two of them had just walked out of the study when Ruyi ran in. “Master, Madam, Grandmaster Chu is here. He said that His Majesty gave you something.”

“His Majesty has bestowed something?” Zhou Jia was stunned for a moment. “Hurry up and welcome him.” The two of them hurriedly walked out.

Chu Sihai stood in the courtyard looking travel-worn. Zhou Jia cupped his hands and smiled at Chu Sihai. “Looks like Shopkeeper Chu has just arrived in

Yunzhou?”

“Greetings, Lord Zhou and Madam Li.” Chu Sihai cupped his hands at the two of them and pointed at the boxes beside him with a smile. “These are all given to Lord Zhou and the young master by His Majesty. His Majesty even gave the young master a name.”

As Chu Sihai spoke, he took out the scroll written by the emperor. Zhou Jia pulled Li Yu to kneel and receive the scroll bestowed by the emperor. After thanking him, he stood up.

Chu Sihai looked at the couple and said with a smile, “His Majesty also gave the little master some trinkets, ink, paper, inkstone, and some cloth jewelry.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Zhou Jia looked at the two words “Chenxi” written on the scroll gratefully. Li Yu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw them. Zhou Xi and Zhou Chenxi only had a difference of one word. The name given by the emperor was quite reliable..
