Although Zhou asked Zhao Yu to sleep a little longer, Zhao Yu, who was awakened by the two, still had no intention of sleeping.

After all, this is a completely unfamiliar home to him, and he will be more or less apprehensive and uneasy in his heart.

A moment later, when the sky outside the window was already bright, just when Zhao Yu was wondering whether it was time to get up, he suddenly heard a gentle knock at the door of the outer room.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Who?"

A question flashed in Zhao Yu's heart.

Just as Zhao Yu was about to respond, he heard a girl's soft voice from outside the house: "Young master, I'm in." ”

This voice reminded Zhao Yu of the cute and well-behaved maid who followed his mother Zhou yesterday.

With a creak, the door was gently pushed open, and a little girl with a double bun walked into the house, and when she walked to the inner room, she saw Zhao Yu sitting on the couch and looking at her.

"Yes, Madame asked the slave to come......" the little girl explained with a pair of bright eyes, a little shy.

Others, perhaps the little girl didn't know what to say, and stood there a little helplessly, her head bowed, her hands behind her back wringing her fingers uneasily.

From time to time, she peeked at Zhao Yu, but then lowered her head again, and the atmosphere was really a little dull.

In view of the awkwardness and dreary atmosphere at the moment, although Zhao Yu had recognized that this little girl was the maid who followed his mother yesterday, and also knew that the lady in her mouth was referring to his mother Zhou, he still asked again knowingly, so as to provoke the topic: "My mother asked you to come?" What's the matter? ”

When the little girl heard this, she replied, "Madame instructed the slave to take care of the young master's living ...... in the future."

Speaking of this, she had the courage to add again: "Madame also said that this time it almost caused a catastrophe, and you can't let your temperament ...... in the future."

"Oh, affection is the eyeliner sent by my mother......

Zhao Yu suddenly realized, and at the same time felt a little amused by the sincerity of this little girl, and actually told him his intention so honestly.

But if you think about it, this little girl is only about ten years old, and he doesn't think there will be any scheming.

"Wait, I seem to be around ten years old by now?"

Thinking of himself at this moment, Zhao Yu suddenly lost interest, and was replaced by confusion about the future.

"Less, less master?"

Seeing that the little master in front of her was suddenly silent, a little panic appeared on the little girl's face, she quietly approached a few steps in the direction of the bed uneasily, and then asked timidly, "The young master is not satisfied...... Not satisfied with the quiet girl taking care of you? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was awakened from his thoughts, looked up at the girl, and saw her biting her lip, her face was panicked, her eyes were shining, and she looked like she was about to cry, he hurriedly said, "Oh, no, I'm thinking about something else." ”

may not have received a positive answer, the little girl looked at Zhao Yu timidly and did not speak, it looked like a little rabbit raised by Zhao Yu in his previous life, it was really cute and cute.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu said with some embarrassment: "That...... I'll leave it to you to take care of it in the future. ”

Finally hearing the positive answer, the little girl immediately burst into tears and smiled, and nodded vigorously again and again: "Jingnu will definitely take care of the young master." ”

After that, she seemed to realize something, hurriedly turned her back, and quickly wiped away the tears caused by the fright with her sleeves, and when she turned to face Zhao Yu again, her panicked face was already blushing.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu suddenly realized that a little girl at this age may not be as ignorant as he thought, at least she already knows how to be shy.

Seeing the little girl's shy face, Zhao Yu felt a little funny.

It is undeniable that when facing Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township, and the Zhou family, Zhao Yu really felt pressure, for fear of revealing anything, but the little girl in front of him would not make him feel any pressure, even if he knew that she was the eyeliner sent by his mother.

Perhaps this is the sense of estrangement caused by the age difference.

"Your name is Jingnu?" Zhao Yu asked.

The little girl shook her head and explained: "The slave's name is Shu, which is the name given by the lady, but most of the time, the lady and the people in the house call the slave Jingnu......"

When explaining, her eyes secretly looked at Zhao Yu, with a hint of inexplicable expectation and shyness in her eyes.

Of course, Zhao Yu didn't observe so carefully, and after hearing the explanation, he nodded and said, "Oh, then I'll call you Jingnu in the future, okay?" ”

"The young master can call the slave whatever he wants."

Little girl, no, Jingnu lowered her head and whispered.

After that, she glanced at Zhao Yu, who was still sitting on the couch, and reminded in a low voice: "Young master, the hour is not early, you should get up...... When the lady came, she instructed the slave to tell the young master to get up and go to the lady's side. ”

"Oh."

Zhao Yu subconsciously asked, "Is there something wrong with my mother?" ”

Jingnu shook her head and said, "This slave doesn't know. …… Young master, I will serve you to change your clothes. ”

Watching Jingnu clean up the clothes she took off on the bed yesterday and make a posture of preparing to help herself dress, Zhao Yu couldn't cry or laugh.

Why wouldn't he let a little girl in her early teens help him get dressed? It's also too embarrassing.

"Ahem."

With a cough, Zhao Yu quietly took his shirt from Jingnu's hand and said, "This...... I'll do it myself, you ...... You go and do something else. ”

"That'...... The slave went to fetch water for the young master. ”

After getting Zhao Yu's affirmation, Jingnu picked up a wooden basin on the wooden shelf in the house and walked out of the house quickly.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhao Yu hurriedly got out of bed and put on all his clothes, he didn't have the face to dress in front of a little girl, even if he was actually wearing a thin praise shirt.

When he hurriedly got dressed, Jingnu had already returned to the house with half a tub of water, and immediately, she moistened a cloth towel, wrenched the water and sent it to Zhao Yu, and said, "Young master, wipe your face." ”

"Uh, thank you."

Zhao Yu took the cloth towel with some discomfort and wiped it on his face casually.

At this time, Jingnu was looking for something on a wooden table by the window.

"Looking for what?" Zhao Yu asked curiously.

"Back to the young master, I'm looking for a wooden comb."

"Wooden comb?"

Zhao Yu was stunned, and then turned his head to look at his shoulder, only then did he realize that his hair at this moment was much longer than in his previous life.

"Ah, ancient men seem to have long hair, too."

He suddenly thought.

After looking for a full moment, Jingnu still didn't find the wooden comb, and when she saw this, Zhao Yu said casually: "If you can't find it, forget it." ”

"How?"

Jingnu shook her head and said, "The young master is going to see Madame later, but he can't lose his etiquette." …… Wait a minute, young master, I'll go to my room and get it. ”

With that, she bowed to Zhao Yu and walked out of the room quickly.

Looking at Jing Nu's back when she left, Zhao Yu shrugged slightly, but his heart was inclined to Jing Nu's persistence.

After all, as far as he knows, in ancient times, etiquette was quite particular, even if it was a biological mother and son, they must pay attention to various etiquette, otherwise, although the mother may not care, others will look at it, and even talk about these rudenesses.

"The age of heavy etiquette......

Silently sighing, Zhao Yu walked to the shelf where the wooden basin was placed, rubbed the cloth towel in his hand, and then walked out of the house with the wooden basin, and poured the water in the flower garden closest to his house.

When pouring water, he did not forget to look at the courtyard in front of him.

Different from the place where he fell from the tree yesterday, what appeared in front of him at this moment was just a small courtyard, in the center was a long and narrow pool, surrounded by some rockeries and fake stones.

From a bird's eye view, the pool feels like a flat gourd with a stone bridge in the middle of the gourd that connects the north and south sides.

In general, the architectural decoration of this courtyard is quite modest.

With this pond as the center, there are disjointed wooden houses at the north and south ends.

The difference is that the houses in the north are relatively spacious, while the houses in the south are relatively close to each other - that is probably where some of the subordinates in the mansion live, because Zhao Yu saw several figures coming and going on the other side of the pool, some dressed as servants and some dressed as guards.

These people also noticed Zhao Yu who was standing on the opposite side of the pool, turned his head noticed, and looked at Zhao Yu who was carrying a wooden basin in surprise, but no one paused to look at it, looked at it twice and left in a hurry.

I don't know how long it took, Jing Nu walked briskly from a distance, and saw that Zhao Yu had already poured the washing water, she said in a panic: "Young master, Madame instructed the slave to take care of the young master's daily life, and in the future, just leave this kind of thing for the slave to do......"

As she spoke, she hurriedly snatched the wooden basin that Zhao Yu was carrying.

Looking at the insistence on Jing Nu's face, Zhao Yu couldn't tell anything from her, so he diverted the topic and pointed to the opposite side of the pool and asked, "Over there...... Who lives where? ”

Jing Nu glanced at the other side of the pool, and then carefully explained: "Young master, most of them are people in the mansion who serve the eldest prince and the young master. ”

"The eldest prince? Is that my brother? Zhao Yu remembered yesterday's exchange with the Zhou family and knew that he still had a brother born to one child.

Originally, the brothers should have been born at the same hour, but for some reason, he Zhao Yu was born after dusk, which made his mother Zhou suffer enough and almost died for it.

"Hmm." Jingnu nodded, and then pointed to a wooden house on the north side of the pond not far away and said, "That's the house where the eldest prince lives." ”

"Oh, it's next door."

Zhao Yu nodded abruptly.

Suddenly, he thought of two people and asked casually, "What about ...... Cao An and Zhang Ji, do they also live here? ”

"The young master still remembers Cao An and Zhang Ji?" Jingnu was stunned, and then asked in surprise.

Zhao Yu didn't know how to answer, and said vaguely: "It's just a general impression...... Do the two of them live here? ”

"Hmm."

Jingnu nodded and explained: "As far as the slave knows, Cao An is the entourage that serves the young master, and Zhang Ji is the guard of the guard's mansion, and I heard that the martial arts are exquisite, so he is also responsible for teaching the young master's martial arts, and the two of them also live in the east courtyard......"

"It turned out to be someone around me, no wonder ......?"

Zhao Yu suddenly understood in his heart, and finally understood why when the accident happened yesterday, it was Cao An and Zhang Ji who were by his side.

At this time, Jing Nu didn't know what she thought of, and said softly beside her: "Young master, forgive the slave for saying a word, Zhang Escort is fine, but Cao An is a subordinate who doesn't learn well, as far as the slave knows, that person used to instigate the young master to do some ...... Bad thing. ”

“……”

Zhao Yu glanced at Jingnu and did not speak.

He naturally had his own judgment - although he didn't know much about Cao An, judging by Cao An's attitude yesterday, this attendant at least seemed to be loyal to him.

Of course, this loyalty refers to the original owner of this body.

Seeing that Zhao Yu did not reply, Jing Nu realized her gaffe, and immediately turned pale in fright, lowered her head and said in fear: "Young master, the slave is too talkative." ”

Zhao Yu smiled and diverted the topic: "Wooden comb, did you get it?" ”

"Hmm."

Shizunu nodded and took out a wooden comb from her arms.
