———— the following text————

After dinner that night, the Marquis of Luyang went to his own study, and called Zhang Chun, the chief of the guard, and Cao Ju, the chief steward of the mansion, to get a general understanding of the problem that the Marquis of his township could allocate money, food and manpower, and his wife Zhou took Zhao Yu and Jingnu to ask about the story of the trip to Ruyang.

It cannot be said that Zhou does not care about whether the trip of Luyang Xianghou and Zhao Yu to the counties around Rushui has achieved its goal, but it is undeniable that she is more concerned about the relationship between the father and son on this trip, after all, her husband has always had prejudices against her young son in the past, and she spoils her young son even more, and hopes to change her husband's opinion.

Unexpectedly, with Jingnu's opening remarks of "The young master is amazing", Zhou learned a lot of interesting things from her.

For example, on the way to Ruyang, Zhao Yu and Luyang County Commander Liu Wei played a game in the carriage, which can be called a hand-in-hand teaching of Liu County Commander how to persuade the county commander of Rushui County, and what is more interesting is that Zhou only learned at this time that it turned out that Liu Wei and Luyang Township Marquis went to Rushui County for help this time, which itself was actually a suggestion made by the youngest son Zhao Yu.

In addition to the surprise, Zhou hugged Zhao Yu in his arms again, not only rubbed his young son's face with his cheek affectionately, but also kissed Zhao Yu on the forehead, making Zhao Yu feel embarrassed while feeling a strong mother.

On the side, Jing Nu looked at the mother and son in front of her with envious eyes, and asked in surprise, "Doesn't Mrs. know about this matter?" ”

Zhou pursed his lips slightly and chuckled: "I really don't know about this matter of the concubine. ”

As she spoke, her gaze flickered slightly, and then the corners of her mouth rose more obviously.

After the hour, Zhou sent Zhao Yu and Jingnu back to their house to rest, while she went to the bedroom and waited quietly for her husband.

Around two o'clock, the Marquis of Luyang came to the bedroom of the couple, and when he entered the house, he saw his wife sitting in the house, so he subconsciously asked, "Haven't you rested yet?" ”

"Wait for your husband." Zhou stood up and gently took off her coat for her husband: "Why is it so late?" ”

"I talked with Zhang Chun and Cao Ju for a while."

While taking off his coat with the help of Zhou, the Luyang Township Marquis explained: "This time I successfully persuaded the Rushui counties, and I, Luyang, can finally implement the cash-for-work scheme, but considering that there are thousands of refugees in the territory, once the canal is dug up, the daily food consumption is huge, in order to avoid extraneous branches, I have to ask Zhang Chun and Cao Ju about the amount of old grain that our family has now, as a matter of emergency." …… If there is a shortage of food in the future, I am afraid that Ye County and Yuncheng will have to think of a way to see if they can buy some grain from those counties. ”

Hearing this, Zhou asked puzzledly, "What?" Husband is afraid that the food provided by Rushui counties is not enough? ”

"It's just a matter of planning for a rainy day."

Luyang Xianghou explained with a solemn face: "You must know that once my Luyang County begins to implement cash-for-work, maybe there will be more refugees pouring into our county, you also know, Ye County and Yuncheng in the east, those counties plagued by refugees, are unwilling to accept refugees, in this case, my Luyang County has opened a mouth, naturally there will be more and more refugees pouring into our county, if I don't wait to prepare in advance, I'm afraid I can't deal with it." ”

"I see." Zhou suddenly realized, stroked her husband's chest and praised: "It's still the husband who has foresight." ”

"Hmph."

The townsman of Luyang snorted lightly, and was very useful for his wife's praise.

Suddenly, Zhou, who was buried in the arms of the Marquis of Luyang Township, smiled slightly, and showed a little ill-intentioned smile on her face, she asked: "By the way, this time Yu'er went out with her husband, what did she help her husband?" ”

The Luyang townsman, who was still very complacent, was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said a little unnaturally: "Hmm, hmm, how much, how much has helped some?" ”

"Oh?" The Zhou family in his arms raised his head and asked with a smile: "Can the husband talk to the concubine in detail?" ”

“……”

The Marquis of Luyang stared at the smile on Zhou's face for a long time for some reason, he was too familiar with the smile of his beloved wife, and he had been teased a lot in the past.

He quietly pushed his wife away a little, and Gu Zuoyan said: "It's not too early, let's talk about it tomorrow, by the way, what about Yu'er?" ”

Looking at her husband's somewhat weak appearance, Zhou couldn't help but smile and said, "The concubine sent the two of them back to the house to rest...... Speaking of which, looking at today's husband's attitude towards Li'er, it seems that there has been a great change in Li'er. The husband can't talk to the concubine, the concubine really wants to hear it. ”

The Marquis of Luyang was standing beside the bed at this time, taking off his clothes with his back to Zhou, and when he heard this, he turned back and asked with some vigilance, "What did Yu'er tell you?" ”

Seeing that her husband turned his head slightly and glanced at himself, Zhou couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said, "Yu'er didn't say anything, but it's a little regretful that my husband didn't take him to the streets of Ruyang County......

After a pause, just when the Marquis of Luyang was a little relieved, she added: "However, Jingnu told the concubine a lot of interesting things. ”

The heart of the Luyang townsman immediately rose again, and he pretended not to care and asked, "What did Jingnu say?" ”

I saw that Zhou deliberately stared at the Luyang townsman for a long time, and then suddenly said with a smile: "Of course it's a compliment to Yu'er, that kid also likes Yu'er." …… Jingnu said to the concubine that on the way, Yu'er made a lot of useful suggestions to Liu County. ”

"Oh......"

After all, a few days ago, because he was too praised by his wife, he did not explain to Zhou that it was actually the couple's youngest son Zhao Yu who solved the problem of money and food needed for the implementation of cash-for-work for his son.

Looking back today, he secretly scolded himself for being confused: Isn't this about to be caught by his beloved wife again and have a trick to trick him?

As Zhao Yu believes, Zhou's in front of his relatives, especially in front of his husband, is not exactly the dignified and virtuous that outsiders think......

"Roughly...... That's roughly true, and Yu'er is indeed a bit smart. ”

He said vaguely.

Hearing this, Zhou's face showed a smile that was quite familiar to the Luyang townsman: "That...... How does it compare to when the husband was young? ”

has been a couple for many years, and now the marquis of Luyang Township will not be able to see that his wife is deliberately playing tricks on him, but he doesn't want to admit that Lao Tzu is inferior to his son, so he defended himself: "This time I went out, although Yu'er did have some credit, but compared to when I was young, it was still ...... It's still a thin line. ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Zhou, who was smiling narrowly, to speak, coughed and said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's rest first, tomorrow I will go to the county seat to discuss with Liu Gong the specific excavation location of the canal." ”

"Let's keep it for now."

Zhou's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "The concubine obeys orders." ”

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yu got up early, and after washing up, he took Jingnu to the north house.

Yesterday, when the father and son were bathing together, he heard the Luyang Township Marquis say that today the latter was going to the county seat to discuss the specific excavation location of the "Jinggong Canal" with the county commander Liu Wei.

If you think about it, you know that this matter itself is a matter of interest, and who doesn't want a canal to pass by next to their field?

It is not difficult to guess that after the news of Liu County's order is released today, the township on the northwest side of Luyang County is believed to have sent people to make a request, hoping that the excavated canal can pass through their township, and there will inevitably be a bit of a rift or even a trade in interests at that time.

However, Zhao Yu didn't care much about the interest transaction in this matter, after all, the fields in his Luyang Township Marquis Mansion were basically east of the county, where there was already a sand river flowing, and he just hoped that the cash-for-work would be implemented as soon as possible, so that those refugees who poured into the country could get a stable source of food.

He had not forgotten the woman with the two children, even though he had not seen her again in recent days and did not know her whereabouts.

On the way to the North Mansion with Jingnu, Zhao Yu happened to see the Marquis of Luyang walking towards him with the head of the guard, Zhang Chun, and several guards, looking at the clothes, as if he was going out.

Zhao Yu stepped forward to greet his father: "The child has seen his father. ”

"Hmm." The Marquis of Luyang nodded, and prepared to pass by his son.

"Don't take me?"

Zhao Yu was stunned.

Because when he was bathing yesterday, he looked at the meaning of the Luyang townsman, and it seemed that he was going to take him to the county seat, why did he suddenly change his mind today?

He hurriedly called out to his father: "Dad, where are you going?" ”

The townsman of Luyang glanced at his son and said lightly: "What are you asking for?" ”

Stunned, Zhao Yu said tentatively: "Dad, are you going to go to the county seat to discuss the matter of the canal with Duke Liu?" ”

"Do you know and ask?" The Luyang townsman replied coldly.

"What's the matter?" The attitude is so cold......

Zhao Yu was a little confused, you must know that when the father and son went out a while ago, the father and son got along quite well, and remembered that after returning home yesterday, the father and son also bathed in the soup together.

Listening to Jingnu, even Zhao Yu's brother and Zhao Yin, the eldest son of the Xianghou Mansion, has never been treated as a bath with his father.

But today, this father's attitude has changed greatly, what's wrong?

He asked puzzled, "Dad, what's wrong with you?" ”

Hearing this, the Marquis of Luyang Township thought for a moment, put aside the others, pulled his son to the corner next to him, and asked in a deep voice: "After you came back last night, what did you say to your mother?" ”

"I didn't say anything." Zhao Yu replied with a puzzled expression.

The Marquis of Luyang took a deep look at his son a few times, and snorted coldly: "Okay, let's go to the North Mansion to eat, your mother is still waiting for you!" ”

With that, he turned around and left with Zhang Chun and a few others.

"You really don't want me?"

Looking at the back of his father's departure, Zhao Yu was stunned, and he couldn't understand what was going on at all.

There was no way, Zhao Yu could only take Jingnu to the north mansion first, hoping to ask the reason from his mother to see what the reason was that his father refused to let him participate in this matter.

Although he has not been in this house for a long time, there are some things that he can still feel.
