"Friends are a lifelong thing, where is the trouble not trouble?" Chen Qiuniang said with some displeasure.

Chai Yu bowed his head and was silent, and after a while, he said, "Qiu Niang thinks so, I'm very happy." ”

"I don't want to hear that. I just want to know what my friend is struggling with. Chen Qiuniang pretended to be angry, and felt very sorry for Chai Yu in her heart. Judging from the encounter at the first meeting and Dr. Bai's words just now, his life was really hard. It was hell.

Chai Yu pursed her lips, and her eyes were so bright and clear in the unknown light that it was pitiful.

"Chai Yu, you name it, maybe we can solve it." Chen Qiuniang whispered. The voice sounded enchanting to her.

Chai Yu was stunned, then looked at her blankly, and then lowered his head again and said, "I'm just afraid." ”

He didn't say anything he was afraid of, Chen Qiuniang waited quietly. After a long time, he said, "That's it, I'll sue you." ”

It turned out that Chai Yu was fifteen years old this year, born in Xingzhou, and lived with his mother. Although he grew up in the countryside, his father had very high expectations for him, so he had no shortage of etiquette and teaching. At the same time, he also invited a master who taught martial arts and cavalry archery, and a master to teach the art of war.

At that time, Chai Yu's life was peaceful and fulfilling. Although he was only four or five years old, his memory was very vague. But the reason is that he is the best being in the past ten years.

"I've only seen my father once, and I don't remember what he looked like. However, I often heard my mother talk about him. Chai Yu always talked about his father with a look of adoration. Such a father, whoever is his child, must be worshipped.

Chen Qiuniang thought that maybe he was really the son of the iron-blooded emperor Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, wasn't Xingzhou Chai Rong's hometown? Moreover, Chai Yu's education is simply elite education, and riding and archery, the art of war, and the way of governing the country are completely imperial education. Moreover, Chai Yu's name, the word Yu itself means king.

The more he knew about Chai Yu, the more Chen Qiuniang was sure of his life experience.

"You adore your father." Chen Qiuniang said.

Chai Yu nodded, with an imperceptible sadness in his expression. Chen Qiuniang asked in a low voice: "What about him?" ”

"I'm sick." Chai Yu replied in a low voice.

He died of illness. This is the cause of the death of Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Shizong, and then his son Chai Zongxun inherited the throne and became the emperor, and was finally seized by Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao.

"I beg your pardon, I-" Chen Qiuniang asked that sentence on purpose, trying to confirm her reasoning. But I still feel very sorry in my heart.

"It's okay, it's been many years." Chai Yu comforted Chen Qiuniang instead, which made her feel that she was not a human being when she asked just now.

"Little brother is always so generous. But I don't know how the little brother came to this Meizhou? Chen Qiuniang asked. She actually guessed from Chai Yu's account that Chai Yu was the child protected by Chai Rong and was not known to outsiders. His mother was raised in the countryside, but he was educated by the emperor. Then, the heir Chai Rong really wants is the one in front of him, and Chai Zongxun's crown prince is just using it to hide people's eyes. Chai Rong is indeed a qualified emperor.

Chen Qiuniang sighed to herself in her heart, while Chai Yu continued to narrate. said that ten years ago, in turmoil, Xingzhou was hit by thieves, he fled with his mother overnight, and met thieves again on the road, and his mother was killed. He was taken by his mother's maid to the temple and hid for ten days. In the end, the maid took him into hiding in search of her distant cousin-in-law. Who knew that her distant cousin-in-law also suffered misfortune, and on the way, she met the eldest master of the Zhu family and went to business, rescued them from the bandits, and brought them back to Meizhou in Shuzhong.

"That eldest master of the Zhu family is Zhu Wenkang's father?" Chen Qiuniang asked.

"Hmm." Chai Yu only had one word, and he didn't want to say any more.

Although Chen Qiuniang knew what else was going on, so much so that Chai Yu was going to steal steamed buns and was beaten all year round. But Chai Yu didn't say it, and she didn't ask either. Just say, "The person you want to see is your mother's maid, right?" ”

"Yes. Her name is Yun Luo, and I call her Aunt Yun. She was in poor health. Chai Yu's tone was full of worry.

"You take care of your injuries. After noon, Miao Cui will come back, and we will see the situation again. If not, I'll go and see Aunt Yun. Chen Qiuniang said.

"No, you can't. Have you forgotten who Zhu Wenkang is? You are sending sheep into the mouth of the tiger, and you must not go. Chai Yu got up in a hurry.

Chen Qiuniang comforted: "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

Chai Yu still said that he didn't agree to anything. But Miao Cui jumped in from the outside and said, "You finally said it." Aunt Yun, right? Don't worry, I'll take good care of you. ”

"You're eavesdropping." Chai Yu was a little angry.

Chen Qiuniang actually knew that Chai Yu was angry about the content of the conversation, in his opinion, Chen Qiuniang was a country girl who didn't know anything, and Miao Cui was a woman who grew up in Jiangmen, so she was afraid that she would hear something.

"I'm standing outside in the light. How can it be considered eavesdropping? Miao Cui said with a smile, and then said, "I am such a flower-like woman, and I put on makeup to be a maid in his Zhu Mansion, which is also the creation of his Zhu Mansion." ”

"You're not allowed to go." Chai Yu is on fire.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. I'll go to Aunt Yun. Miao Cui shrugged and left.

This change comes and goes quickly. Chen Qiuniang and Chai Yu looked at each other. Chai Yu just said: "Qiu Niang, go and call her back." The Zhu family is not as simple as she thinks. ”

"Okay." Chen Qiuniang hurriedly chased out, and Miao Cui had already stepped into the street.

"Sister Miao, Chai Yu said that I have something to tell you." Chen Qiuniang hurriedly called out to her.

She paused: "Didn't you just tell me not to go?" ”

"It's not. He wants to tell you something about the Zhu family and let you go back. Chen Qiuniang hurriedly said.

Miao Cui went back in disbelief. Chai Yu was unusually calm at this time, and said to Miao Cui: "You go and help me look at Aunt Yun, I thank you, but the Zhu family is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Your Zhang Mansion is the gate, and doing things is the set of the gate. The Zhu family is a businessman, and they are closer to bandits. The means of their house, you will not be able to compare with the house of the door. ”

"Then I'll fight." Miao Cui said with a smile.

Chai Yu glanced at her, shook his head, and said, "Don't try." How many talented people are hidden in the Zhu Mansion, you can't even think of it. Moreover, you'd better not get into trouble for the General's Mansion. After all, your general is the palace of the Hou Zhou Dynasty, and his ancestral home is in this Shu, no matter where you look at it, there must be countless pairs of eyes staring at it. You are a little girl, and you can't do things indiscriminately and cause trouble for your general. ”

Chen Qiuniang has never heard Chai Yu say so much, but now that she has said so much, she is thorough about politics. Sure enough, it's the queen of the emperor. Chen Qiuniang and Miao Cui couldn't help but be surprised.

"I didn't think you kid could see it thoroughly." Miao Cui was stunned for a few seconds, and then laughed.

"So, you have to stay quiet, go and help me take a look at Aunt Yun's situation, and come back. If you want to make a disturbance, you will really cause a lot of trouble to your general. Chai Yu said very seriously.

Miao Cui nodded, and Chai Yu began to introduce her to the structure of the Zhu family's mansion and the patrol characteristics of the guards. The place where Aunt Yun lives, as well as some of the Zhu family's very dangerous characters, including that Nian slave.

Chen Qiuniang listened to it on the side, and felt more and more that the Zhu family was really deep. It's just that she thinks that Zhu Wenkang can handle such a big plate of the Zhu family?

"Don't alarm anyone from the Zhu family. The Zhu family sells goods from the north, and if they can go to the north, they must be connected with the officials. If you take the wrong step, you will bring unnecessary trouble to the General's Mansion. Chai Yu advised again.

"I see, how many times have you said it. Okay, I'm going to see Aunt Yun, you wait for my good news. Miao Cui ran out impatiently.

Chen Qiuniang had never seen Chai Yu like this. In the past, he gave her the impression that he was a shy teenager, rarely speaking, stubborn and with very bright eyes. Now that he is talking to Miao Cui, he has accurate expressions, clear logical thinking, and good analysis of things, which is really the appearance of a young hero.

"What's wrong?" Chai Yu looked at Chen Qiuniang and asked. There was that shy look on his face again.

Chen Qiuniang shook her head lightly and said, "It's nothing." I'm just thinking, if you can get out of the Zhu family, what kind of life do you want to live? ”

"Difficult." Chai Yu lost a word and didn't say what kind of life he wanted to live.

"It's always okay to actively want bibimbap." Chen Qiuniang comforted him.

Chai Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's harder than climbing to the sky." ”

"Why?" Chen Qiuniang asked.

Chai Yu just looked at her seriously and didn't answer.

"What's wrong? How weird are you. Chen Qiuniang asked. I also expected that the Zhu family must have something in control, or something they wanted from Chai Yu.

"Qiu Niang." He shouted, but stopped talking.

"Well, I'm here, you say." Chen Qiuniang hurriedly said. Pity for this child swelled up in my heart again. If he is really after Chai Rong, he is the person who was cultivated as the heir of the emperor, lost his father and mother, and hid in Tibet, and finally when he thought he was stable, he entered the wolf's den again, and lived a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs in this southwest town, as if he had fallen into hell forever.

These injuries on Chai Yu's body and heart are no less than the original Chen Qiuniang. Besides, the original Chen Qiuniang only endured it for more than half a year, and this Chai Yu endured it for ten years.

Ten years is enough for a person to wear out hope, and it can also distort a person's personality. But the young man in front of him, although stubborn and silent, knew how to repay his kindness and was not cynical. If his father had not died, what kind of emperor would he have inherited the throne in the future?

Chen Qiuniang was full of thoughts, but Chai Yu just looked at her.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Qiuniang couldn't help asking.

"If one day, I can get rid of the sea of misery. The life you want to live is nothing more than with your beloved. Whether it is plowing the fields or working in the mountains and rivers, I just want to live this life in peace and tranquility, and ignore the disturbances of this family. He said slowly.

"That's all right." Chen Qiuniang nodded.

He showed a sad look on his face, then lowered his eyes and said, "I will take good care of myself, you go about your work, don't come to see me." ”

"I'll come to see you when I'm free." Chen Qiuniang replied, she felt that there was something wrong with the young man's expression and tone in front of her.

"Don't come, you go." Chai Yu turned his face away and didn't look at her. RS
