Chapter 8: Strange Times

The next day, the third day when Zhao Yu came to this home, he woke up around midnight.

After waking up and sitting up on the bed, Zhao Yu saw that there was a neatly folded pile of bedding and another neat stack of clothes on the outside of the bed near the end of the bed.

The clothes, that are Zhao Yu's, as for the bedding......

He was slightly stunned, and then he thought that it was Jingnu's bedding.

Yes, he slept with a little girl about ten years old last night, but it was purely sleeping together, without any so-called charm.

"Are you already up?"

Muttering in a low voice, Zhao Yu looked inside the house, but saw that there was no trace of Jingnu around the house.

Of course, this was only out of curiosity, and he had fallen into the depravity of letting the Silent Girl serve him in his clothes.

After getting up and getting dressed, Zhao Yu yawned and walked to the door, and then he saw Jing Nu standing outside the house, slightly tilting her head and combing her hair.

At this time, the lovely double bun has been dissolved by Jingnu, and her long silky hair hangs down like a waterfall.

"Why don't you comb it in the house?"

Zhao Yu said hello.

However, when she heard the figure behind her, Jing Nu jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and when she turned around, her face was full of fright, until she saw clearly that it was Zhao Yu who was talking behind her, she patted her chest with her little hand, and said with a little complaint: "I'm scared, young master." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Zhao Yu apologized casually, but this made Jingnu feel a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you comb it in the house?" Admiring the appearance of the quiet girl not combing her hair in a bun, Zhao Yu asked curiously.

"Slaves are afraid of losing their hair, so it's hard to clean." Shizune explained.

As she spoke, she saw Zhao Yu looking at her appearance that she had never combed her hair bun, her little face was slightly red, and her hands holding the comb were also a little overwhelmed.

Originally, she planned to go to the north house to ask a few sisters with better relationships to help her comb her hair after combing her hair, but she didn't expect the little master in front of her to wake up so early.

"Young master, why don't you call a slave when you get up? The slave is here...... No, it's the slave's fault, next time I should stay in the house......"

Realizing that the second prince in front of her had dressed herself, Jingnu said with some trepidation, she felt that she had not fulfilled her duties as a personal maid.

Seeing that Jingnu's face was full of self-blame, Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile and said with relief: "What's the matter, don't I know how to dress?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the long hair that Jing Nu wore over her shoulders, and changed the topic and asked, "Can you comb your own hair in a bun?" ”

"How can the slave have that ability, originally the slave planned to take advantage of the young master's not yet got up, to find a few sisters who have a good relationship in the north house, please ask them to help me comb my hair in a bun......" Jingnu stuck out her tongue cutely, looking a little embarrassed.

"Oh." Zhao Yu suddenly realized, and immediately nodded and said, "Then, when I go to greet my mother, you can find someone to help you comb your hair." ”

"Hmm." Jing Nu responded sweetly, and immediately seemed to realize something, casually coiled her long hair, and hurriedly said, "Young master, I'll go and fetch water for you." ”

"Uh...... Thank you for your hard work. ”

After a while, after finishing grooming, Zhao Yu led the long-haired shawl Jing Nu towards the north house.

When the two of them came to the north house, Zhou, the wife of Luyang Township, had already gotten up and was sitting in the hall of the main house drinking tea, and after seeing Zhao Yu and Jingnu, she had a smile on her face.

"Yu'er, Jingnu."

"Mother (madam)."

After a brief greeting, Zhou saw Jingnu's somewhat messy hair, and quipped a little funny: "Jingnu, why did you not even comb your hair, so you followed Yu'er?" This is very unscrupulous. ”

Hearing this, Jingnu replied a little shyly, "When I got up this morning, I found that my hair was messy......"

"Why, I couldn't sleep last night?" Zhou deliberately teased Jingnu, until the latter was teased to the point that her face was red, and then she turned her head to the maid Zhu with satisfaction and said, "Zhu'er, you help Jingnu comb her hair in a bun." ”

"Yes, ma'am." The bamboo jaw head agreed, and led the Jingnu to the side hall.

After the second daughter left, Zhao Yu began to carry out the purpose of his trip - he hoped to find out something about this era from his mother Zhou.

After all, until now, he didn't even know what country he had come to.

As for why he asked Zhou, a woman, there is only one reason, that is, so far, Zhou is the closest to him and the most tolerant of him.

Later, after considering the wording, Zhao Yu asked Zhou: "Mother, who gave my father the title of Marquis of Luyang Township?" ”

Zhou was stunned and asked puzzledly, "Why do I ask that?" ”

Zhao Yu explained: "Yesterday, the goddess called my father a township, I asked the people in the house, and I knew that the Luyang township marquis was a title obtained by my father, so who gave it to my father?" ”

"Oh." Zhou suddenly realized, hugged his son and explained with a smile: "Of course it is the son of heaven in this country......"

"Son of Heaven?" Zhao Yu asked deliberately.

"Hmm." Zhou nodded and explained: "The Son of Heaven, that is, the Son of Heaven, obeys the heavens to rule over mortals...... That is the most honorable person in the world, and all in the world must be loyal to him and to the country. ”

"Daddy too?"

"Of course." Zhou said with a smile.

Seeing that the topic did not turn to what he wanted to ask, Zhao Yu was not discouraged, and quietly changed the topic again: "Mother, is the Son of Heaven a god?" Does he have a name and a surname? ”

"This ......"

Zhou hesitated for a moment, after all, it was already considered an outrageous behavior to talk about the Son of Heaven, but in order to satisfy her son's thirst for knowledge, she still replied more cautiously: "The Son of Heaven is a monarch given by God, he is not an extraordinary person, but he also has a name and surname, and the current Son of Heaven is surnamed Li......"

As she spoke, she pretended to be serious and frightened: "But my son must remember, just talk to his mother, but if you are outside, don't mention it casually, this is a crime, and there will be a tolerance to arrest you." ”

"Oh."

Zhao Yu pretended to understand whether he understood or not, but in his heart, he was thinking about the information that Zhou had just revealed.

The Son of Heaven is surnamed Li?

The country with Ying as the surname of the Son of Heaven he knows, Qin State; And the country with Li as the surname of the Son of Heaven also knows, Tang!

Ke Ying's surname is Li...... What is that?

I have never heard of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, who established the Tang Kingdom, and their father and son are born with the surname Ying.

With all kinds of puzzlement, Zhao Yu pretended to be ignorant and tested his mother again and said: "Mother, I understand, the Son of Heaven is surnamed Li, so this country is Ying Guo or Li Guo?" ”

"Huh."

Zhou smiled, then rubbed his son's hair and said with a smile: "Wrong, the country where we are located is called Jin, which is neither Ying or Li. ”

"Jin?" Zhao Yu was simply stunned.

Although he is not very proficient in history, he also roughly knows that there are several Jin kingdoms in history.

One was the vassal state in the last years of the Zhou State, the monarch was surnamed Ji Jin, and then it was divided and destroyed by the three vassal forces of Wei, Zhao and Han;

One is the Jin State after the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the monarch is surnamed Sima, and it was divided and confronted due to internal and external troubles, until it was subsequently reunified by the Sui State.

In addition, there are several small states called Jin in history, but as far as Zhao Yu knows, their monarchs are not surnamed Li......

"Where the hell have I been?"

Zhao Yu was a little dazed, and he couldn't help but guess: Could it be that the era I am in is not the historical process I was originally in?

Swallowing his saliva, Zhao Yu pestered his mother and said, "Mother, can you tell the child more?" The child was curious. ”

"This ......"

Zhou thought for a while and said: "My son is very inquisitive and wants to know this, Weiniang will definitely support you, but Weiniang is not very clear about this...... By the way, why didn't my son ask Mr. Ram? ”

"Mr. Ram?"

Zhao Yu was surprised by this ancient surname in his heart, and asked curiously, "Who is that?" ”

"It's Mr. Dongxi in the house, entrusted by your father to teach you two brothers to study ......" As he spoke, Zhou raised his hand and lightly tapped his finger on Zhao Yu's head, and blamed: "In this matter, you really have to listen to your father, change well, don't always be playful, learn from your brother, and study hard." Learn more skills, and when you grow up, you will eventually be able to use them...... Remember? ”

"The child remembers."

Zhao Yu pretended to respond obediently, thinking in his heart how to ask Mr. Ram later.

An hour later, after Zhao Yu and Jingnu had breakfast at Zhou's side, they left Zhou and returned to the east courtyard where the two lived.

At this time, Zhao Yu decided to look for Mr. Ram.

According to his mother, Zhou, this gentleman currently lives in a room in the east courtyard on the north side of the pond - in the row of disconnected houses on the north side of the pond in the east courtyard, on the west side of Zhao Yu, which is the house where his brother Zhao Yin lives; And the nearest one on the east side of Zhao Yu is the residence of Mr. Ram.

But it's a little embarrassing to say that it is clear that the residence is closer to Mr. Ram, but Zhao Yu rarely asked Mr. Ram in the past, and even when Mr. Ram was teaching, Zhao Yu used to run away.

Although these behaviors were not done by Zhao Yu, when he thought of them, Zhao Yu, who was about to visit Mr. Ram, also felt a little embarrassed.
