Your Majesty...... You want me to spy on you. Xiahou Xu stammered.

In front of the imperial power, Xiahou Xu couldn't hold out for long, and finally succumbed. In the afternoon of the same day, he rushed to the manor outside the city and told Cao Miao about it. Of course, he did not have the courage to resist the Son of Heaven, nor did he have the courage to deceive Cao Miao.

"Your Majesty is talking about surveillance?" Cao Miao frowned slightly, looking suspicious, but not panicked.

All this was expected by him, but he didn't tell Xiahou Xu everything. Xiahou Xu is not a person who is good at acting, if he tells him all the scripts, he will act badly.

This is a confrontation between him and the Son of Heaven Cao Rong who does not meet, and Xiahou Xu is just a trick.

Xiahou Xu thought about it carefully. "That's not true, Your Majesty is talking about protection, yes, he's talking about protection, not surveillance." Xiahou Xu suddenly relaxed, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and blamed himself. It's really embarrassing to scare yourself and break out in a cold sweat.

"Well, I think you're thinking too much." Cao Miao laughed. He stood up, looked around, and said happily, "In that case, then this manor is mine, and I have to decorate it well." Bo Yuan, since you are the Shaofu Zuo Cheng, you are the main wealth for me, and you can't shirk this matter of raising funds. You also know, I have spent all my money in order to buy Yun Niang, and now I have a clean breeze on my sleeves and a penniless. ”

The big stone in his heart has gone, and Xiahou Xu is relaxed, smiling. "Yunliang, don't worry, Your Majesty said that as long as you can help Your Majesty find out those masterminds behind the scenes, all the money for the expansion of the villa will be paid by Shaofu, and you don't need to pay a single penny. In two days, the master craftsmen will come to survey the terrain and discuss the expansion plan. In addition, His Majesty also specially arranged for Dr. Ma to come, if you want to do some novelty, just tell Dr. Ma. ”

"Which Dr. Ma?"

"Helping the wind and horses." Xiahou Xu was very excited today and talked a lot. "Yunliang, don't look at Dr. Ma's words are not good, but his hands are very skillful. Nowadays, whoever wants to do something new in Luoyang City has to ask Dr. Ma to design it, and every time it can be extremely ingenious, it is breathtaking. ”

Cao Miao sighed secretly. Of course, he knew who Ma Jun was, one of the most outstanding craftsmen of this era, who was said to be better than Zhuge Liang. It's a pity that Zhuge Liang's skills were used to transform ordnance, and the Wei army was defeated and retreated. Ma Jun's skills can only be used to create gardens for the powerful, which is really tyrannical.

"Then it's hard for you to run again, and ask Dr. Ma to come first. In addition, please give me a letter and write a plaque for my villa. ”

"Can you go back tomorrow? Look at me......" Xiahou Xu pointed out pitifully. "It's getting dark, and I haven't eaten yet."

Cao Miao was speechless and flicked her sleeves. "Go ahead, eat people or eat, whatever you want, as long as you have the ability."

Xiahou Xu responded beautifully, got up and left, thought about it, and turned back. "Yunliang, what name are you going to change the villa to?"

Cao Miao thought for a moment. "No, Zhou Villa."

Xiahou Xu was stunned and muttered to himself, what kind of broken name is this? But seeing Cao Miao's serious face, he didn't dare to say more, so he responded perfunctorily, and went to Yun Niang excitedly. Anyway, the villa has been given to Cao Miao, what he likes to call it.

When he came to the East Cross Courtyard, Xiahou Xu rushed into Yun Niang's small courtyard and shouted, "Yun Niang, I'm here." ”

Yun Niang was reading a book in the house, and when she heard Xiahou Xu's voice, she hurriedly got up to greet her. Seeing Xiahou Xu's happy face, he couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Young Junhou, what happy event have you encountered?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'm an official." Xiahou Xu held Yun Niang's little hand and didn't let go. "From now on, I am no longer a young prince, I am the Shaofu Zuocheng, and I am in charge of the wealth of this villa. If you want to try any new dishes in the future, don't worry about the money, I'll allocate everything. ”

Yun Niang covered her lips and smiled, bending her knees to salute. "Then congratulations to Zuocheng."

"Don't talk about nothing, come with something affordable. I am hungry. Xiahou Xu picked up Yun Niang's hand, put it on his face, and pouted. You see, I haven't eaten your food for so many days, and I'm hungry and thin. ”

Yun Niang blushed and withdrew her hand. "I'll get ready right away."

Xiahou Xu followed. "Be more prepared, I have to go back to the city tomorrow, and I won't see you for two more days."

Yun Niang was curious, and she didn't know what Xiahou Xu was doing in such a hurry. Xiahou Xu just had an official position, although he was only the Shaofu Zuo Cheng of Qianshi, and his scope of responsibility was only the financial power of the villa, but he was very excited, and said to Yun Niang in 1510. In the end, when Cao Miao named the villa Buzhou Villa, he also teased a few words.

"What's the name of that, you say? Is he going to hit the mountain too? ”

Yun Niang was cooking while thinking. After a long time, she shook her head. "We can't guess what the townsman thinks. But I think it's a good name, the way of heaven is still lacking, and it's not necessarily a good thing to be too thoughtful. Although the townsman is smart, he is riddled with madness, so he can only recuperate in this villa, perhaps it is the will of God. ”

Xiahou Xu turned his head and glanced at Yun Niang, his heart sour. "Yun Niang, how are you ...... To him? I'm the one who wants to marry you. ”

Yun Niang gave him a blank look. "Do you really want to marry me? You're just lying to me. The townsman is different from you, he doesn't treat me as a slave, and he doesn't treat me as a girl who comes and goes as soon as he is recruited, and he has always treated me with courtesy. ”

Xiahou Xu breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over with a scowling face. "Yun Niang, look at what you said, it makes me sad too much. Am I not out of affection, out of courtesy? Have I ever forced you after all these years? You don't know that the reason why I do all this is for you. ”

"It's strange to believe you." Yun Niang said that she didn't believe it, but lowered her head. Xiahou Xu quietly stretched out his hand and hugged her slender waist. Yun Niang raised the kitchen knife in her hand and knocked it on the back of Xiahou Xu's hand. "Let go! Otherwise, I will chop off your claws and boil them in the kettle together. ”

"It's okay, I'm willing to go to the trouble for you." Xiahou Xu stuck to Yun Niang's hot face, took a breath, closed his eyes in fascination, and muttered, "It's so fragrant." Yun Niang, I'm going to eat you. ”

——

Grand Sima Mansion.

Cao Xiu put down the newspaper that he had read three times and beckoned. Cao Su took a few steps on his knees and came to Cao Xiu.

"Smack!" Cao Xiu raised his hand and slapped him in the face, which made Cao Xiu's eyes glow with gold stars, and his face was hot.

"Ah Weng, you ......" Cao Su was stunned.

"Xiahou Xu has been awarded an official, but you are still white, don't you feel ashamed?" Cao Xiu scolded dumbfounded, pulled the wound on his back, and grinned in pain. The more he looked at Cao Su, the more angry he became, and raising his hand was another big slap. "Get out! Don't dangle in front of Naigong, you will be angry when you see you. Useless stuff! ”

Cao Su was depressed, but he didn't dare to refute, so he had to cover his face and go out in disgrace. He went out and stood under the porch, and when he saw Cao Zhao hiding in the corner, he suddenly became angry. No wonder Cao Zhao didn't send the newspaper himself, but let himself do it for him, he had already thought of this result.

"Brother, you're too bad." Cao Su covered his face and shed tears aggrievedly.

Cao Zhao was also a little reluctant to go. "Des, good news for you."

"What's the good news?"

"The captain is going out of the city tomorrow and taking his daughter on a blind date."
