Chapter 312 The Grandfathers Are Back
Chapter 312 The Grandfathers Are Back
The servants had to persuade the young master repeatedly before he finally agreed to take it off while washing up and put it back on afterward.
After Jia Hu and Jia Zhen finished washing up, they prepared to go to bed early. After lying down, Jia Hu habitually told Jia Zhen a bedtime story. In the past, Jia Zhen would pester him to tell the rest of the story after hearing one part. This time, Jia Zhen had already fallen asleep before Jia Hu had said two words.
Jia Hu tucked his sleeping younger brother in, pulled the blanket up around him, wrapped himself up in it, and then prepared to go to sleep.
As Jia Hu lay in bed, he was still regretting that he hadn't been to the salt fields that day, and he was thinking about how he should go next time.
Jia Hu thought he wouldn't be able to sleep, but he fell asleep quickly after closing his eyes. The servant outside heard that there was no more movement in the room, so he came in to check if the two young masters were properly covered with their blankets. Seeing that the young masters were sleeping soundly, he turned off the light and went to the outer room.
When Jia Hu woke up, Jia Zhen was already awake and looking at his medals. He smiled and greeted his brother when he saw him wake up.
The first thing my brother did when he woke up was look at the medal; it seems he really likes this medal.
After washing up, the two began practicing boxing. Today should be a sunny day, and upon closer inspection, the ground was not wet. The weather changed so quickly yesterday afternoon that Jia Hu thought it must have rained last night. It's good that it didn't rain, as it will be more convenient for his grandfathers to come back.
They both thought that their grandfathers would definitely be back in the morning when they said they would be back today, but when noon came and they had lunch, their grandfathers still hadn't returned.
Why aren't they back yet? Are they not coming back today? Is the salt field that far?
Jia Hu pondered. He had originally planned to find out where the saltworks was and find a chance to sneak out. But if it was so far away, and the round trip would take so long, he definitely wouldn't be able to go.
Just as Jia Hu was wondering when his grandfathers would return, someone came to report that the Emperor had returned.
Knowing that the young masters were worried, Steward Lin had sent someone to wait at the door in the morning, just in time to report back as soon as there was any news.
Jia Hu and Jia Zhen also arrived at the courtyard gate to greet him. Since there were too many people at the main gate, they decided to wait at the courtyard gate instead.
Before long, Jia Hu and Jia Zhen saw their grandfathers.
Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan were delighted to see their grandsons greeting them at the door, and they strode over quickly.
Once inside the house, Jia Daihua looked at his grandson with a puzzled expression. What was wrong? Why was Zhen'er walking so proudly in front of him?
"Zhen'er, what's wrong? Just tell me what's wrong."
Jia Daihua pulled Jia Zhen aside and asked.
Jia Daishan also looked at Jia Zhen, who was standing tall with his chest out, and immediately noticed the sign hanging around Jia Zhen's neck.
Jia Daishan looked at his grandson, Jia Hu, who smiled but did not speak.
Jia Zhen straightened his chest as much as he could.
"Grandfather, take a close look. Is there anything extra?"
After Jia Daihua finished asking Jia Zhen, he saw the silver medal hanging on his grandson's chest, which said "Champion" on it.
"What's extra?"
Jia Daihua pinched Jia Zhen again.
"What's extra? I was only out for one night."
Jia Zhen must have been quite tired from standing tall and proud all the time. How come his grandfather didn't even notice the huge medal hanging on his chest?
"Grandfather, please take a closer look."
Jia Zhen held the medal a little closer this time.
Looking at his grandson's tense little face, Jia Daihua felt he couldn't tease him any longer and laughed:
"Oh, it's a silver pendant. It's so pretty. When did Zhen'er get this jewelry made?"
It's clearly a medal, with such big words on it, how could my grandfather say it's jewelry?
"Grandfather, look at the words above, it says 'champion,' it's the championship I won in the competition!"
