When Zhao Yu and his party returned to the Xianghou Mansion, it was already late at night.

Since they did not know the news in advance, Zhang Ying, the guard on duty at the gate of the mansion, was very surprised.

He said to Zhao Yu: "The townsman and his wife don't know that the second son is coming back tonight, and he has already rested, do you want to go down and tell the townsman and his wife?" ”

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said: "No need, Uncle Zhang, in fact, I just came back to take a bath and change my clothes, although I do have to find my father for some things, but it's not too late to talk about it tomorrow." ”

"That's good."

Zhang Ying nodded, secretly relieved, after all, he didn't want to disturb the Luyang Township Marquis and his wife Zhou in the middle of the night.

took Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, Jingnu, and Cao An to the East Courtyard, and Zhao Yu sent the first three and told them to go back to the house to rest: "Tomorrow morning, I want my father to talk about something...... Well, it's probably afternoon, before dusk at the latest, let's go to Zhengxiang again and have a good rest. ”

"Yes, the second son (young master)."

Sent away Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, and Cao An, and Zhao Yu took Jingnu into his house.

At this time, Jing Nu asked, "Young master, shall I ask someone to boil water for you to bathe?" ”

"It's too late."

Zhao Yu walked to the side of the bed and lay on the bed.

He doesn't seem to have done anything in the past few days, just patrolling and observing the refugees' ditching every day, but in fact, he hasn't rested much, and spends most of his time standing on the construction site.

Even if it was Zhao Yu's age in his previous life, I am afraid that he would feel sore, let alone his current body that is only ten years old?

If nothing else, the soles of my feet alone hurt a lot.

"Young master, can I help you pinch your feet?"

"Huh?"

Lying on the bed and glancing sideways at Jing Nu, Zhao Yu was surprised that Jing Nu could actually guess.

But soon he understood: Jing Nu has almost been following him for the past few days, and she has been treating others by herself, and Jing Nu, who feels that her legs are sore, can naturally guess.

"Don't ...... early"

Zhao Yu was just about to refuse, but Jing Nu's hands over there had already gently pinched his legs and feet.

Zhao Yu snorted lightly twice, and was stunned that he didn't refuse Jingnu again.

"I'm really depraved and asked a ten-year-old girl to pinch my feet...... But it's really comfortable.'

After self-examination for a while, before he had time to have the idea of correcting this mistake, a strong sleepiness invaded him, causing Zhao Yu to fall asleep on the bed like this.

Hearing the faint snoring, Jingnu looked at Zhao Yu in surprise, only to find that Zhao Yu had fallen asleep, she couldn't help but purse her lips and hold back a smile, but immediately, a little distress appeared on her face.

"The young master is really tired these days......

With some difficulty, Zhao Yu lay down on the bed, and Jingnu thought as she covered the former with a futon.

Immediately, she also lay down beside her, quietly looking at the young master.

In a daze, she also fell asleep.

Also, she's too tired these days.

This sleep, I slept until three poles the next day, not to mention Zhao Yu, even Jingnu, who used to get up early every day, missed the hour, and finally Cao An didn't see Zhao Yu get up for a long time, regardless of the dissuasion of Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng, he took the liberty to enter the house to look at the situation, and saw Zhao Yu and Jingnu each wrapped in futon, head to head, face to face on the bed, both making a faint snoring sound.

Not to mention, it's really gratifying, even Cao An couldn't help laughing.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Cao An already knows how to be polite, even if he wants to wake up Jing Nu, he will not touch the latter at will, after all, he knows that this little girl on the bed at this moment, who has never looked down on him, may be half of his hostess in the future.

"Jingnu! Shizune! ”

Half a foot away from the bed, Cao An lowered his voice and called to Jingnu.

Jingnu is a person who can easily wake up, Cao An only gave a few calls, and then she opened her eyes faintly.

When she opened her eyes and saw Zhao Yu's face close at hand, the little girl blushed slightly, and then, she turned her head to look at the other side in confusion: Neither is the young master, who is calling me?

At this glance, I saw Cao An.

"Don't scream." Seeing the panic and anger in Jing Nu's eyes, Cao An immediately reminded in a low voice: "Don't disturb the young master. ”

This sentence obviously still has weight, hearing this, Jing Nu subconsciously closed her mouth, and immediately wrapped the futon tightly, with a look of shame and anger, gritted her teeth and whispered: "Cao An, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'll call you." Cao An explained: "The townsman and his wife learned that the young master returned to the house last night, and this morning they sent someone to tell me to ask the young master to go to the north house for dinner, but I can't wait for the young master to get up, and even you are still asleep, what can I do?" ”

"Then you shouldn't just break in!" Jingnu gritted her teeth and said angrily.

As soon as he heard this, Cao Anxin felt uncomfortable.

I think that when Jingnu didn't come yet, he Cao An was the young master's closest servant, he went in and out of this house, when did the young master blame him?

It's good now, he Cao An can't even enter this house?

However, considering Jingnu's identity and age, he finally held back: "I don't know you like you!" …… The hour is not early, wake up the young master. ”

"Get out!" Jingnu was still wrapped in the futon, and her eyes were full of shame and anger.

"Okay, okay."

Cao An walked out of the house with interest, but he still didn't forget to remind Jingnu: "But hurry up and wake up the young master, don't forget, the townsman and his wife are still waiting for the young master." ”

Jingnu didn't respond, and watched Cao An exit the house angrily.

At this time, she gently pushed Zhao Yu beside her with a pleasant face, and called softly: "Young master, young master? It's three poles up. ”

Zhao Yu, who was asleep, took a breath, didn't open his eyes, and said in a daze: "Who is the third pole?" Why should he be on the day? ”

“？？”

Jing Nu tilted her head, obviously she didn't understand, seeing that the young master was about to fall asleep again, she hurriedly pushed a few more times, and whispered: "Young master, I can't sleep anymore, just now Cao An came to pass the word, saying that the townsman and his wife are waiting for the young master in the north house." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu gradually woke up, only to see him still struggling to sit up on the bed, rubbing his eyes and asking, "What time is it?" ”

"......" Jing Nu showed an embarrassed expression on her face, her little face was flushed, and she said vaguely: "What time is it, the slave doesn't know at the moment, it's probably late......"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu turned his head and glanced at the window, and sure enough, he saw that the sky outside the window had already brightened, and even judging from the degree of daylight, it might be close to noon.

Turning his head to look at Jing Nu again, Zhao Yu was immediately happy, after all, Jing Nu was still wearing praise clothes at this time, and her hair was messy, looking like she had just woken up.

To be honest, after coming to this house for so long, it was the first time Zhao Yu had seen Jingnu get up so late.

Of course, the smart Jingnu could guess why Zhao Yu was laughing, and said with a blushing face: "I'm sorry, young master, the slave was wrong, and the slave didn't know why he slept so heavily last night......"

Of course, Zhao Yu wouldn't blame Jingnu for this, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, oversleep, oversleep, hurry up, you said just now, my father and my mother are still waiting for us in the north house, right?" ”

"Hmm." Jingnu nodded, and immediately went to the house to find new clothes for Zhao Yu, and she herself changed into clean clothes.

After hurriedly dressing and washing, Zhao Yu took Jingnu out of the house.

As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Cao An standing in the open space outside the house, greeting Zhao Yu with a smile on his face: "Young master, are you up?" ”

Under the dissatisfied gaze of the quiet girl from the side, Zhao Yu said hello to Cao An.

Cao An didn't care about the hostility in Jing Nu's eyes, and tactfully urged Zhao Yu: "Young master, go to the north house quickly, the townsman and his wife are still waiting for you." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu didn't say anything to Cao Anduo anymore, and led Jingnu to the North House.

After a while, when Zhao Yu and Jingnu came to the north house, they really saw the Luyang townsman and the Zhou couple sitting in the hall.

After seeing Zhao Yu, the Marquis of Luyang said calmly: "I learned that you returned home last night, your mother and I were originally waiting for you to eat together today, and I waited for you for more than half an hour, and when I saw that you didn't come, my mother and I used ...... first."

Although the words of the Marquis of Luyang were said to Zhao Yu, and the tone was also very calm, Jingnu was still so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe, because she felt that it was her dereliction of duty.

From the side, Zhou saw a little clue, and said angrily to her husband: "Okay, don't say a word, look at the ...... that scares the child."

"This kid is going to be scared? Hundreds of refugees in Zheng Township didn't scare this kid......

Muttering to himself, the townsman of Luyang suddenly turned his gaze from his second son Zhao Yu to Jingnu, seeing that the little girl who was dressed very carefully on weekdays was just tying her hair casually today, and hanging her head without saying a word, he realized that the 'child' in his wife's mouth actually referred to Jingnu.

Seeing this, he didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, Zhou called someone to bring the reheated breakfast.

While Zhao Yu and Jing Nu were eating, Zhou turned his head and said to a maid who was not much older than Jing Nu: "Xiaoyu, take a comb." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Ying Ying, a maid named Yu (a guest appearance by book friend Xiaoyu), made a salute, took a wooden comb from the next room, and handed it to Zhou.

Zhou took the wooden comb and combed the hair of the quiet girl sitting beside him.

"Madame......" Jingnu was flattered and didn't know what to do with the bowl.

"You've been tired these days, haven't you? You continue to eat, the concubine will help you sort it out, and your daughter's family should pay more attention to your manners......" Zhou gently touched Jingnu's hair, this mother-like gentleness made Jingnu's eyes a little red.

On the other side of the table, the father and son of Luyang Township Marquis and Zhao Yu were not so warm, Luyang Township Marquis just looked at his son who was eating beside him, and Zhao Yu didn't dare to talk much at this time, lowered his head to pick up the rice, and there was no communication during the period.

It wasn't until Zhao Yu finished eating, put down the chopsticks, and wiped his mouth with the handkerchief on the table that the Marquis of Luyang said: "I thought you would stay in Zheng Township for a few more days, and when you came back last night, do you have anything to discuss with your father?" ”

"Yes, Dad."

Zhao Yu nodded, and then said: "Yesterday, Liu Gong visited Zheng Township, and the child had the honor to chat with Liu Gong for a while, Liu Gong told the child that Wannan is still a war, and Wanbei has also fallen into turmoil because of General Wang's measures to disregard the people's livelihood, and now I Nanyang County, only a few counties in Yecheng and Luyang can still be safe, so it can be seen that ...... in the future."

He glanced at the several maids who were waiting on the side, and changed to a more euphemistic statement: "There will be many refugees pouring into my Luyang County to seek refuge, and the child wants to know what his father's attitude is towards this, and in addition, does the father have long-term considerations for this?" Furthermore, how long can the food in the prefecture last? ”

Hearing this, not only Zhou and Jingnu looked at the father and son, but even several maids who were waiting beside them.

After all, the situation of the refugees is closely related to their Luyang Township Mansion.

"Come with me to the study."

The Marquis of Luyang got up and walked out.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu followed.
