After returning to his room, Chi Fei saw Ah Zhi sitting on the bed dozing off little by little, obviously waiting for him to come back.

Ji Fei smiled, then walked over and slowly put her on the bed for her to lie down again.

Just this move woke up Ah Zhi.

She rubbed her eyes and said in a daze, "Brother, you're back." ”

Chi Fei pinched her face slightly, "Didn't I tell you?" Don't wait for me to come back at night. ”

Ah Zhi put her arms around his neck and said coquettishly: "But I still want to wait for you to come back." I won't be able to sleep without you. ”

"Heh, you still said you can't sleep, who was desperately dozing off like a chicken pecking rice just now?"

Ah Zhi, who was exposed in person, arched around in his arms in protest with some annoyance.

Chi Fei's chest itched by her arch, and he couldn't help laughing.

In order to prevent her from moving again, Chi Fei hurriedly hugged her body and said, "Okay, okay, it's late, be careful to wake up others."

How are your people doing? ”

"Their house is still under construction, and it will probably be a few months before it is fully built.

For the sake of building a house, my mother and I have been so busy lately that we are about to smoke, either persuading this or that.

The main reason is that the craftsmen are short of manpower, and if they can take care of this end, they can't take care of that end, and if they don't pay attention to it, they will easily offend people.

It's easy to do if it's an outsider, but it's all people from the same clan, and if you really quarrel, it will hurt the harmony.

All we can do is try to reassure them.

Fortunately, most people are reasonable, as long as you make it clear to them.

There are really those who don't want to stir up trouble, my mother ignores her and lets them toss themselves. ”

After listening to this, Chi Fei couldn't help but feel hard for his mother-in-law Yao.

Now my father-in-law is busy dealing with various military and political affairs in the northwest, and he has no time to settle the clansmen brought from the capital. So the responsibility for the placement fell on Yao, the head of the house.

It is not a trivial matter to resettle so many people at the same time, and just allocating them space to build houses is a big project.

Fortunately, Ning Zhiyuan is now the Emperor of the Northwest Soil, as long as it is a borderless land, he can distribute it however he wants.

So he simply designated a nearby vacant land of hundreds of acres as a settlement for the Ning clan and built a house there with them.

Of course, the money for the craftsmen to build the house is paid by each family.

Although Ning Zhiyuan is the patriarch, he is not generous to this one, and he even has to pay for the construction of the house, and he is responsible for the reconstruction of the Ning clan ancestral hall at most.

However, the lack of craftsmen in charge of building the house is indeed a trouble, so you can only keep up with the person in charge of each house first, and the others will slow down first.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Although they are all surnamed Ning, many clansmen have already gone out of the third or even fifth suits, which is relatively far away.

In addition, the daughter-in-law who married is a foreign surname, so many people have gathered together for several generations, and there must be all kinds of careful thoughts.

In order to appease many clansmen who were eager to build houses, Yao and Ah Zhi had to go back and forth all day long, which was really hard.

Chi Fei comforted: "You just need to listen to your mother's words, try to endure things as much as possible, and don't make it difficult for your mother." ”

"I see. Brother, you too, although your father asked you to be that quartermaster, but you have to pay attention to your body, don't work too hard. Otherwise, I'll go and tell my dad that you don't want to be this official. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Ah Zhi suddenly said in a low mood: "I don't know how Mother Zhang and Sister Hongying are doing now?" I'm really worried that something will happen to them. ”

Originally, Ah Zhi didn't believe in anything, but for the sake of the red shadows, she now prays to the heavens every day that they will be safe.

Including Red Shadow, Red Sleeves and Red Fragrance, they are all people who have been with her for many years, and Ah Zhi has long regarded them as family members, and they are no longer ordinary master-servant relationships.

After she arrived in the northwest, she didn't even want a maid, as long as the two rough mothers-in-law who were in charge of cleaning stayed in her yard.

Because she didn't want others to take their place, she would feel very unlucky, as if something had happened to Red Shadow, so she had to keep their place for them.

Hearing her words, Chi Fei couldn't help but fall silent.

In fact, Chi Fei is also very worried about the current situation of Zhang Xiao'e, Da Niu and those homeless children.

However, they are now far away in the northwest, and they can't help at all, so we can only hope that they can survive the difficulties and reunite with them.

Chi Fei now only hopes that what he told Zhang Xiao'e in the letter to do can go smoothly, and that Yu Hongying can successfully bring them all out of the capital.

Not to mention Ah Zhi, even he has surpassed the relationship between master and servant with Zhang Xiao'e and several others.

Especially Zhang Xiao'e, an honest girl, has always been loyal to him, she is someone he can completely trust, and he has subconsciously regarded her as a family member.

As for the displaced children, it is more of a responsibility for him.

Those children have already regarded the newspaper as their home, and since they were taken in immediately, Chi Fei certainly does not want them to be reduced to beggars again and live a precarious life.

Now there's really nothing to do but pray that they're safe.

After thinking about it for a while, Chi Fei could only comfort dryly: "Don't worry, Mother Zhang is well-informed, and Hongying has a good martial arts, as long as they are there, it will be fine." ”

Ah Zhi had no choice but to nod helplessly.

Seeing that it was already late, Chi Fei stood up and said, "You sleep, I'm going to wipe my body." ”

"Then sit still, I'll help you fetch water."

"You lie down and don't move, I'll come by myself, obediently sleep."

Ah Zhi just lay down obediently.

Because the red-sleeved Hongxiang is not here now, and Ah Zhi doesn't want other outsiders in the room, so Ah Zhi learns to do many things by herself.

After doing more, she now likes more and more the feeling of serving her sweetheart without pretending to others.

After Chi Fei walked away, Ah Zhi lay on the bed and looked at his back with a sweet face.

She's probably the quickest of all to accept the situation.

Before he rebelled out of the imperial court, her father Ning Zhiyuan had long been a figure like the emperor of the soil in the northwest, and no one dared to go against him or go against him.

As her father's youngest daughter, naturally no one dares to snub her.

Now that the Northwest is self-reliant, it seems to her that it is no different from before.

The only difference is that my father's power has become greater, and he has become a veritable leader in the whole of the northwest, and he has the final say in everything in the military and political worlds.

In addition to environmental factors, what is more important is that her sweetheart Chi Fei has always been by her side, which is what makes her feel at ease the most.

As long as she's with him, it doesn't matter where she goes.

Therefore, in addition to worrying about the safety of the red shadows, she is not at all like others who have all kinds of panic and anxiety about the uncertainty of the future, and she lives a very calm and comfortable life every day.

By the time Chi Fei returned to the room after washing, Ah Zhi had already fallen asleep, with a clear smile on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know what kind of sweet dream she was dreaming.

Chi Fei carefully lay beside her, and then habitually thought about things while hugging her warm and soft body.

Since marrying Ah Zhi, he and the fate of the Ning family have been tightly tied together.

A true one wins, one loses.

Even if it's a little good, he hopes that he can help his father-in-law and the Ning family to some extent, and this can be regarded as for him and Ah Zhi.
