Chapter 74: Seventy-Four
Seventy-four
Mr. Fang's private school has already started, Zhao Chengjin can't go, Xu You is unwilling to go, and Ah Chu is the only one left to go to school reluctantly.
No one can tell when someone will come to the capital, maybe tomorrow morning, Zhao Chengjin will leave. Xu You was a little reluctant, so he spent most of the day in Zhao Chengjin's house with him, he read, and Xu You wrote. is still describing his calligraphy, and after a long time, I have learned some of Zhao Chengjin's charm.
Zhao Chengjin has always praised her recently, so Xu You acted very happy, grinning stupidly in front of him, and as soon as he went out, he was so sad that he died, squatting at the door silently with red eyes.
Mrs. Meng planted some vegetables in the yard and raised more than a dozen chickens, Xu You would come over to help when she was sad, the little chicks were only ten days old, fluffy like little yellow balls, and they were chattering very happily. Xu You squatted β‘ to feed them millet, and occasionally the bolder chicks would burrow their heads into her hands and peck gently, again and again.
"Xiaoxueβ" Mrs. Meng called her at the kitchen door, "don't stay at home all day, and go out for a walk." Why don't you pick up Ah Chu in a while? β
Xu You turned around, saw Mrs. Meng's worried look, sighed in his heart, and responded in a low voice. She didn't want to worry the old lady at all.
Zhao Chengjin's legs have been raised for a month, and now he can barely move on the ground, but Xue Dad didn't let him go more, and only told him to rest in bed for a while. Zhao Chengjin also listened to him, except for occasionally going to the toilet, most of the time he honestly lay in bed.
"Today's handwriting is good, and there is a reward." In the afternoon, Zhao Chengjin suddenly praised Xu You. He usually doesn't praise her much, Xu You was a little flattered, and his eyes were a little suspicious when he looked at him, "Really? Seeing Zhao Cheng nodding seriously, she became happy, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said proudly: "What is the reward?" Don't let me write a few more words. β
Zhao Chengjin shook his head with a smile, untied the cat card that he had been wearing on his wrist, took her hand again, and put it in her palm, "This is for you." β
Xu You was immediately stunned, what do you mean, did he recognize her, did he plan to reveal the truth? She obviously hasn't shown any signs lately. There is no evidence at all, if you have to say that she is a cat, even Mrs. Meng will say that he is crazy!
"What...... Why are you giving me this? Xu Yu swallowed with difficulty, trying to make his voice sound less flustered, "Isn't this the cat card of the snow group?" What to do for me. β
"I don't have anything else," Zhao Cheng smiled softly at her, "This cat card is the only thing left by Xuetuan, and the only thing I can think of to give it to you." This parting, I may not be able to see each other for a long time, and I am worried that you will forget me one day. So, leave this to you, you love cats so much, every time you see it, you will think of me. β
What nonsense, how could she forget him, how could she forget. The first person she met when she came to this world, such a kind and lovely child, is now a kind and intelligent teenager.
Xu You solemnly put away the cat card, thought about it, and tied it in his hand like Zhao Chengjin, waved at him, and smiled, "How is it?" I can see it every day after that. "So, I think of him every day.
Zhao Chengjin also nodded with a smile, "I may ...... It's leaving. I counted the time, maybe just two days. His voice was still gentle and calm, no different from usual, and his eyes were as deep and bright as ever, "After a few years, Xiaoxue will go to the capital with his uncle, okay?" β
Xu You was stunned for a moment and was silent. Do you go to the capital, that is the city where she has lived for four years, and it is naturally good, but Yunzhou is the root of the Meng family.
"I estimate that there may be a war this winter," Zhao Chengjin said in a low voice: "Brother Xiaoquan will not come to Yunzhou for no reason, it must be because the imperial court has the intention of recovering Kyushu." Winter is the time when the Hu people in the northwest are short of food and grass, and this year they gathered in Kyushu and suffered a disaster, and the Hu people have no food to help, and the imperial court will β‘β‘ use troops at this time. β
Xu You was already confused, how could he be so good, and suddenly talking about these things, the painting style was completely wrong.
"The eldest uncle and the second uncle are already brave, and they also have a lot of prestige in Yunzhou City. I have already mentioned it to Brother Xiao Quan, let him try his best to promote his uncle, in addition to Yunzhou, there are other eight states, just follow Brother Xiao Quan, don't worry about no military merits. As soon as Kyushu is recovered, the imperial court will definitely have a heavy reward, and when I will be active in the capital again, I will be able to transfer the eldest uncle and second uncle back to Beijing......" Zhao Chengjin has obviously been planning for a long time, and he is simply talking about these things, and he is confident, but-
"Waitβ" Xu Yu rubbed his temples and interrupted him with difficulty, "But, my father...... I don't necessarily want to go to the capital. β
Zhao Chengjin was deflated in an instant, and said helplessly with a small round face that had been raised recently: "I know the truth, that's why I came to tell you." You will also persuade Uncle when the time comes, don't you want to see me again in the future? β
What, it's a threat! If he really wants to meet, he can come to Yunzhou, as the prince of Rui Wangfu, it is much easier to go out than them.
"My dad doesn't necessarily listen to me," Xu Yu shook his head, "he has an idea in his heart." β
"Then do you want to go to the capital?" Zhao Chengjin looked at her with a pair of bright eyes without blinking, and asked solemnly.
Xu You frowned and didn't speak. She actually misses the capital very much, misses those people in the capital, although His Royal Highness the King of Qi is very unreliable, although the old rascal is a little bad, although the Wei guards always like to keep their faces tight, although they ...... However, they are all very important people in her life.
"I ...... Follow my father," Xu Yu lowered his head, his voice gradually lowered, "He is just one of my daughters, no matter what, I will be by his side." "In any case, she occupies Xiaoxue's body, so she should do what Xiaoxue should do for her daughter, if Xue's father is unwilling to leave, then she will accompany him in Yunzhou.
Zhao Chengjin's face became very complicated, but he did not continue the topic just now. Some things are good to mention once, whether Xu Yu should or not, he has already said hello, and he will say it again to Uncle Meng when he goes back, and after that, the orders of the imperial court have come down, and Uncle Meng can't help but go.
"Xiaoxue, you can help me deliver a letter," he immediately changed the subject, took out a letter from under the pillow and handed it to Xu You, "For the big boss, they live in the first house on the east side of the alley, the one with two big persimmons carved on the door." β
Xu You suddenly jumped up, "They live here!" β
It's so close! Although Xu You had long guessed that those people in Heifeng Village lived in the city, and they might not be far from the Meng family, he never expected it to be so close. You must know that outside the alley is one of the most lively places in Yunzhou, and these bandits are really bold.
Or- Xu You glanced at the well-behaved Zhao Chengjin on the bed suspiciously, in fact, this was all the little fox's idea. This kid is still the seventh master of Black Wind Village!
"Aren't you afraid that they'll be discovered?" Xu Yu asked.
"This is called darkness under the lamp," Zhao Chengjin explained with a smile, "The officers and soldiers thought that they had already escaped from the city, but they would have thought that they were so bold and dared to live under their noses." However, the big boss and the second boss don't go out much, and the two of them have met with the officers and soldiers, which is very dangerous. That's right-" He suddenly remembered something, lowered his voice and asked Xu You, "That Yuan catcher, what is the uncle going to do?" β
Yuan Zhutou is the mastermind behind the last time he instructed the homeless people to attack the Meng family, and the big boss has already found out and told Xue Dad, but Xue Dad just nodded and said that he knew the way, and there was no next move. Xu You didn't know what Lu Daoxue's plan was, but according to his temperament, it was impossible to just forget it anyway.
Seeing that Xu You didn't speak, Zhao Chengjin immediately understood, smiled, and said, "If it's inconvenient for the uncle to make a move, I'll ask the big boss for help." β
"Don't mess around!" Xu You suddenly became anxious, "The officers and soldiers were already arresting them, if they were involved and leaked their whereabouts, wouldn't they be worried about their lives." β
"The surname Yuan is just one person, and he does it neatly." Zhao Cheng said disapprerovingly, the tone of his speech was simply transformed into a bandit leader in a few minutes, which was completely inconsistent with the image of a well-behaved and sensible teenager in Xu You's heart!
"I ...... I'm going to help you deliver the letter," Xu Yu took the letter unnaturally and looked at him again. Only then did Zhao Chengjin realize that he seemed to have accidentally said something that he shouldn't have said, and if he wasn't careful, he ruined his image. "That ......" He wanted to explain a few more words, but Xu You had already hurried out of the city.
This sucks! Zhao Chengjin was a little discouraged, she must have regarded him as a bandit who killed people without blinking!
Xu You said hello to Mrs. Meng and went out, saying that he was going to pick up Ah Chu from school. The old lady responded casually, and when she remembered it, she glanced outside, a little suspicious, "It's too early to pick up someone now." β
Out of the alley, Xu You quickly found the family that Zhao Chengjin said, knocked on the door, and soon someone came to respond, it was the bearded man who had come to the Meng family before, he recognized Xu You at a glance, and immediately grinned at her, trying to make himself look kind, "It's the little girl of the Meng family, come in, come in." β
Xu You didn't move, took out the letter and handed it to him, "It's Brother Shun'er's letter to the big boss." I still have to pick up Ah Chu from school, so I won't go in. β
The bearded man nodded with a smile, took the letter, and beckoned to her again, "The little girl will come to play with Lao Qi next time." β
Xu You's head was suddenly full of black lines.
The time was still a little early, and there was still an hour before Ah Chu got out of school, so Xu You thought about it and decided to go back first.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, I met the little marquis of Changping and His Royal Highness King Qi, who I hadn't seen for a few years, at the mouth of the alley.
I haven't seen him for a long time, His Royal Highness King Qi is becoming more and more handsome, in a gray place like Yunzhou City, he is still wearing a snow-white robe, stepping on a pair of white silk shoes, and shaking a folding fan in his hand, just like a peacock in estrus showing his beauty to the fullest.
It's a pity that Xu You has seen this fool the most embarrassed and out of tune, and he can see his essence through the surface, so he doesn't eat this set of suave people, and looks at him like a fool, his expression is a little stiff.
"Miss Meng, I actually met you here!" The little marquis of Changping was very surprised, and took the initiative to greet him.
Xu You also smiled at him reluctantly, glanced at His Royal Highness King Qi with a wonderful look, nodded, and then turned around and walked ahead to lead the way.
His Royal Highness King Qi was furious by her, and he frowned involuntarily, staring at Xu Yu without blinking while touching his chin, thinking for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Little girl, have we met somewhere?" β
Xu You grinned at him, and was about to speak, when King Qi's eyes suddenly aimed at the agarwood cat card on her wrist, and suddenly jumped up on the spot as if she had been electrocuted, and pointed at Xu You as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight, "Ahhhh
"Seventh Master, what's wrong with you?" When the little marquis of Changping saw him go crazy, his face changed.
His Royal Highness the King of Qi ignored him at all, and continued to ......point at Xu Yu and shout, "Ahhhh You've become human! β
Changping Little Marquis: "......"
What's going on?
