After some talking, the father and son returned to the study, and then Zhao Yu took Jingnu back to his house.

On the way back, Jingnu was a little worried, and when she returned to the house, she saw Zhao Yu lying on the bed with her hands on her pillow, and she couldn't help but ask carefully: "Did the townsman blame the young master?" ”

"Huh? Oh, not really. ”

Zhao Yu, who was thinking about countermeasures, reacted and said with a chuckle: "On the contrary, my father asked me to be firm in my principles. ”

I have to say that in this matter, Zhao Yu really admires the Luyang Township, at least the Luyang Township is more decisive than him - maybe this is related to the experience of the Luyang Township Hou when he was young.

Zhao Yu heard his father mention that his grandfather died early, and Kong Jian, who served as the county magistrate of Luyang County at that time, bullied the Marquis of Luyang Township when he was young and tried to encroach on his ancestral business of the Zhao family.

Perhaps it was this incident that made the Luyang Township Marquis deeply understand the unity of the family - this family, not only the Luyang Township Marquis and his wife and brothers, but also the guards, domestic servants, maids, etc., the husband and wife and the four brothers alone cannot support a township mansion.

Only when their own people are united, can they fight against the outside world without any worries, and they must not hurt the people who follow them because of the pressure from the outside world, maybe this is the experience that the Luyang townsman wants to tell his son, the experience of his life.

And from this incident, Zhao Yu also understood the proximity of his father Luyang Township Marquis - he was a refugee in Luyang County, and the Luyang Township Marquis may only have sympathy and pity for them, and even, only for the purpose of 'not wanting Luyang County to be chaotic', he and the county order Liu Gong implemented the measure of cash-for-work relief;

From this incident alone, the relatives of the Marquis of Luyang are clear at a glance.

And in fact, Zheng Qian may be the same, this person still wants to be angry for the close servant Wang Zhi in the family when he knows the merits, on the one hand, it certainly shows the arrogance and unreasonableness of the Ruyang Marquis Mansion, and on the other hand, this is also the protection of the superior to the people below.

The superior protects the people below, and the people below return loyalty, which may be the way to survive many families in the world, otherwise how can the direct relatives of the head of the family support a huge family?

A moment later, when Zhao Yu and Jingnu were chatting about this matter, Cao An ran into the house with a snort, and he didn't know what stimulation he was in, he knocked on one knee beside the bed, his tone was choked, and he swore solemnly: "Young master, Cao An will be loyal to the townsman and the young master in this life......"

"What are you doing?" Seeing Cao An crying with his mouth open, not to mention that Jing Nu took two steps back in disgust, even Zhao Yu hid on the inside of the bed.

Cao An told the truth with a crying voice.

It turned out that when the father and son of Luyang Township were talking, Cao An was led by his uncle Cao Ju and secretly eavesdropped.

When he heard the conversation between the father and son of the Luyang Township Marquis that he did not bear the consequences in the slightest, the young Cao An was deeply moved, and he finally understood why his uncle had brought him to the Xianghou Mansion in the first place, and he was loyal to the Luyang Township Marquis.

"You're eavesdropping? Steward Cao doesn't care about you? ”

After listening to Cao An's story, Zhao Yu felt a little incredible.

Cao An smiled: "Uncle took me there." …… He said, "Haven't you always wondered why Uncle Wei decided to be loyal to the countryman?" I'll tell you now. After that, he took me to eavesdrop. ”

"......" Zhao Yu was speechless.

Shaking his head and leaving the speechlessness in his heart behind, Zhao Yu Zhengse said: "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you, I guess that Wang Zhi has a close relationship with Zheng Qian, Zheng Qian wants to be angry for him, he should have punished me, but in the end he still had some affection, and asked you to suffer on my behalf, but my father and I did not admit his affection." …… Don't say it's you, even if it's me, I don't think I did anything wrong that day, so why should I be threatened by him? Jingnu, what do you say? ”

Hearing this, Jing Nu said calmly: "The young master is right. …… When the slave was also by the young master's side, he saw it clearly, as far as the matter of Wang Zhi was concerned, Cao An did nothing wrong, on the contrary, he protected the young master at that time, which is worthy of praise. ”

"The Silent Girl......"

Cao An looked at Jingnu with emotion, and was very moved that Jingnu would praise him, you must know that in his memory, Jingnu was very disgusted at that time and took away the handkerchief that Zhao Yu gave him to wipe his nosebleed.

"Don't come near me. …… You get out! ”

However, Jingnu didn't care about Cao An's touch, on the contrary, when she saw Cao An's snot and tears flying, she took a step back in disgust.

"Why did you let me out again?"

"Your face ...... Disgusting to death. …… Yikes! You actually use your sleeves...... You get me out! ”

"Alright, alright."

Zhao Yu smiled and played a round game: "Cao An, you go out to wash your face first, don't say that Jing Nu dislikes you like this, I dislike you." ”

Seeing Zhao Yu say this, Cao An went to clean it.

That night, Luyang County Ling Liu Jian was once again invited to the Xianghou Mansion and was invited to the study by the Luyang Xianghou.

After the Marquis of Luyang told Liu Jian of the threat of Zheng Qian, the prince of Ruyang, Liu Gong was quite angry.

In all fairness, Liu Wei was very clear about the conflict between Zhao Yu and Wang Zhi that day, he didn't think that Zhao Yu was wrong, on the contrary, he thought that it was fortunate that Zhao Yu was present at that time, otherwise there was really no guarantee that Wang Zhi would provoke a riot among the refugees.

In this case, Zheng Qian, the prince of the Marquis of Ruyang, asked for a heavy punishment of Cao An, the servant of the Xianghou Mansion, and also asked Zhao Yu to personally bring a gift to apologize, he was really a little dissatisfied, and felt that the Ruyang Marquis Mansion was too domineering.

And what made him most angry was that Zheng Qian, the son of the Marquis of Ruyang, actually threatened the Marquis of Luyang with the funding given to him by Rushui County to Luyang County, which is simply unreasonable!

In addition to being angry, Liu Wei said to the Luyang Township Marquis: "Don't worry, the Township Marquis, Liu will go to see the Marquis of Runan tomorrow, and it will be clear what is right and wrong." ”

Hearing this, the Luyang Township Marquis stopped: "Gong Liu can't!" …… I invited Liu Gong here today, not because I wanted Liu Gong to come forward, but because I wanted to discuss a countermeasure with Liu Gong. Although the Ruyang Marquis Mansion is huge, I am not afraid, even if I am hated by him, what can I do? I'm just worried about implicating Luyang County......"

After a pause, he said again: "In this matter, I hope that Liu Gong will not interfere, even in the end, the Ruyang Hou Mansion really said that the Rushui counties were moved, and Liu Gong should not come forward for me, just lobby the county orders again as the Luyang County Commander, and Chen will say the benefits." ”

"This ......" Liu Jian hesitated, frowned and said: "The conflict between the second prince and the king was originally for the stability of Zheng Township, and now the Ruyang Marquis Mansion hates the township and the second prince because of this, if Liu stands by and watches, Liu ......"

"Liu Gongyan is serious." The Marquis of Luyang Township persuaded him: "Although the Zheng clan of Ruyang has a huge influence in Henan, he is just a lord, in the area of Luyang, he may not be able to take revenge on my family, but if Liu Gong comes forward to help me, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be angry with Liu Gong and Luyang County, and it will not end well." …… All in all, as long as the Marquis of Ruyang can finally give up instigating Rushui counties to cut off the funding given to Luyang County, Liu Gong should not interfere in this matter. ”

"Countryman...... Alas, the townsman Gaoyi. ”

Under the repeated persuasion of the Luyang townspeople, Liu Jian was finally convinced.

In the next two days, there was no news that Rushui counties had cut off their funding, and the Marquis of Luyang and Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief a little, feeling that Zheng Qian, the prince of Ruyang, might have said that he might just be angry, and it did not mean that he would really instigate Rushui counties to cut off the funding given to Luyang County.

If it was just that, the Luyang townsman didn't care.

What about being hated? Although the Marquis of Ruyang is a marquis, he is only a marquis, and the titles of the two are very different, but even so, there is no relationship between the two superiors and subordinates, and he Marquis Ruyang cannot bring any substantial benefits to the Marquis of Luyang by virtue of his marquis's title, unless he is caught with some substantive handle.

When it was the ninth day of the first month of October, the Ruyang Mansion suddenly sent someone to send an invitation, inviting the Marquis of Luyang and his second son Zhao Yu to go to his mansion for a banquet on the 12th of October.

And on this invitation sent, the words 'Ruyang Hou Zheng Zhong' are clearly written at the checkout office, and it is also stamped with the seal of Ruyang Hou.

After dinner that day, the Marquis of Luyang called his son Zhao Yu to the study and told him about it.

After taking a closer look at this invitation, Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "I am afraid that it will not be a good banquet to send this invitation for no reason." ”

"Hmm." The Marquis of Luyang nodded slightly.

Both father and son can see it, because the object of this invitation is too targeted, even if you invite the Luyang township, even Zhao Yu, who is only ten years old, is invited, and there is a problem with this - under normal circumstances, who also invites a ten-year-old child?

It is undeniable that in the county government of Luyang County, not to mention the county magistrate Liu Xuan, even the county magistrate Xu Xuan and the county lieutenant Ding Wu gradually no longer regard Zhao Yu as an ordinary child, but this is only in Luyang County, to be exact, only limited to a small area of Luyang County.

For example, the county government, such as Zheng Township, aside from these two places, in the rest of the townships in Luyang County, who knows who Zhao Yu is?

But the Marquis of Ruyang, who was far away in Ruyang, knew Zhao Yu, and clearly wrote the words 'with the second son' in the invitation, and Zhao Yu felt that the problem was not small at first glance.

But even so, the Marquis of Luyang still decided to go to the appointment.

He explained to his son: "Even so, we have to go, after all, this is an invitation in the name of the Marquis of Ruyang, if you don't go, the other party can say that we don't know how to be polite, this is like giving authority to others." …… As for your concerns, act on the occasion when the time comes. ”

Seeing that his father had made up his mind, Zhao Yu didn't say anything more.

Although he felt that this banquet was mostly purely a Hongmen banquet that put pressure on them.
