Chapter Ninety-Two: Mingzhi is quiet

Yuzhang Villa, afternoon.

Because of the rain that had just fallen, the ground of the lodge was a little slippery, and the trees were covered with moss. A small half of these trees were originally there, most of them were planted after Zhao Youju moved in, they were just small saplings at the beginning, but now seven or eight years later, they are tall enough to shade and protect them from the rain.

The school grounds were deserted, and there were no children running in the past, and they could not be heard reading. Zhao Youju stroked a tree, looking at everything in front of him, and his heart was very emotional.

After nearly nine years of layout, it has finally reached the most critical step.

Since the ninth year of Jiading, he began to move the villagers who knew him very well to Tamsui, in order to avoid suspicion, it took four years one after another, and even Ou Laogen, a blacksmith who was not a guest of Yuzhang Villa but also had a close relationship with Yuzhang Villa, was also sent to Tamsui. Last year, the children of the sixth phase of Yixue also left Yuzhang Villa, and they were led by Xiao Bolang and Ou Bama.

The once extremely lively Houzhuang of Yuzhang Mountain Villa has quieted down because of this. Those who stayed here were only twelve teenagers from the first and second stages of Yixue, who were the most loyal and had followed Zhao and Ju for the longest time.

"I really don't understand you, I sent all the people away, Zhuangzi is so deserted, I feel that I can participate in Zen and enlightenment here!"

It is naturally Yang Miaozhen who said this, and now Yang Miaozhen is over twenty, but she is still as charming and moving as she was when she was seventeen or eighteen. She followed behind Zhao and Ju, and there was a bit of loneliness between her words. Zhao Youju glanced at her, she was actually an active person, and it was really difficult for her to stay in a corner in the past few years.

Fortunately, she made a friend, and she would go to Lin'an every other month, and she was still sulking. It's just that the days of such a caged bird, which is what a heroine like her can do.

"It's coming." Zhao Youju said involuntarily.

"What's going on?" Yang Miao was really curious and asked.

"Hehe, I'll know then, Fourth Lady, don't go out these days, I'll arrange for you to go to beg in a few days." Zhao Youju said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Yang Miaozhen was a little curious, in the past few years, she has to go to Liuqiu once a year, and the freshwater is naturally too ripe to be cooked, and Keelung and Yilan have also been there. There was only the cloth bag in the southwest, which she had not yet visited, which was a new salt factory opened last year, with more than 2,000 people stationed there, and 500 people rotated every six months. It's just that every time he goes to beg is in late winter and early spring, like this, he asked her to go in summer and autumn, and there has never been one.

Although she has a rough temperament, she has been much better in the past two years, so she asked, "Is there something wrong with Liuqiu?" ”

Due to the continuous reclamation of immigrants, the attitude of the Liuqiu people towards immigrants has diverged, and tribes like Amao have been close to each other early and are very familiar, and under the intention of absorbing Tamsui, they moved to the tribe after the death of the old patriarch. There are more than 2,000 people from three tribes who have a freshwater household registration. In Yilan and Budai, some natives were not angry with the immigrants for pioneering and cultivating, and repeatedly clashed with the immigrants, although it did not lead to a full-scale conflict, but few people were bloodshed and died. Yang Miaozhen said that "there is something to do", that is, he was worried that the natives would unite and become enemies of the immigrants, thinking that Zhao Heju sent her to lead the team to fight.

"It's not ......" Zhao Heju shook his head and smiled slightly: "You don't have to pay attention to it so much, you have to beg, you have to keep your mouth tight on that Su family girl, don't let her know, she is a powerful person." ”

Yang Miaozhen's friend is Huo Chongcheng's dream lover, that is, the little lady of the Su family in the Sanyuan Building she saved in Shaoxing Mansion. This girl from the Su family has a tassel name, and there is only one brother in the family, Yang Miaozhen saved her brother's life, and the two discussed it. Huo Chongcheng repeatedly ran into a wall at the girl of the Su family, and naturally came to Zhao Heju when he had nothing to do, and after Yang Miaozhen knew, Yang Miaozhen was really a warm-hearted person, so he had to say a few good words for him. In the past two years, although good things have not been harmonious, at least Huo Chongcheng has seen some hope.

"I'm not like you, with a stomach full of twisted intestines, if Ah Sui asks me, I naturally have to tell her." Yang Miaozhen pouted and said, "I don't know why you are so careful, so that people don't know that you are the owner of Liuqiu Island!" ”

Zhao and Ju didn't argue with her, he glanced at Houzhuang nostalgically, and then turned around and said, "Let's go, Fourth Lady, we can't always stop here, the road is still long." ”

In addition, there is another important thing, that is, to build a family temple in the villa, and then go to invite a virtuous monk from Tiantong Temple to be the abbot.

It is rumored that Shi Miyuan is the reincarnation of Hongzhi Zhengjue, the abbot of Tiantong Temple, and he himself believes in Buddhism. The reason why I chose this time is because there is news from Huo Chongcheng that Yu Tianxi has returned to Lin'an, and he must have seen that his matter has been reported to Shi Miyuan, and Shi Miyuan should send someone to investigate the truth at this time.

Shi Miyuan is a generation of traitors, and it is not easy to deceive him, but his biggest advantage is that he can deduce his general movements from historical records. In response to his movements, take corresponding countermeasures, so that you can follow the trend. For example, if the person who knew Shi Miyuan's plan to do this at this time, Shi Miyuan would inevitably doubt whether his intentions were to please himself, but in Shi Miyuan's opinion, Zhao Heju could not know that he was going to find a disciple of the clan, and it was naturally a sincere move to build a temple and invite monks at this time. It is impossible for the people sent by Shi Miyuan to inquire not to bring back the big moves of Zhao and Ju now, this one-sided advantage allows Zhao and Ju to take advantage of Shi Miyuan's first fight.

But it's just a good advantage, if Shi Miyuan feels that he was too sharp when he was a child, or if he has been unsuccessful in arranging Taoguang and cultivating obscurity all these years, or even just because Shi Miyuan suddenly looks at his name unpleasantly, it may make all his plans come to naught.

Yang Miaozhen stared at Zhao Youju's back, only felt that he had been extremely weird recently, and his consistent headlessness in speaking was secondary, and the most important thing was that he often sighed, as if he was a person in his seventies and eighties. In Yang Miaozhen's eyes, he has always been deep and calm, and such emotion makes Yang Miaozhen feel a little unlucky.

is clearly a sixteen-year-old young man, but like a person who is too old to walk, so gloomy!

Thinking of this, Yang Miaozhen only felt that her heart was sinking desperately, sinking, like the sun on the edge of the sky, to sink to the end of the mountains and seas. A kind of anger that she didn't know where to come from, made her rush to Zhao Youju's side in three steps and two steps, and before Zhao Heju came back to her senses, she reached out and grabbed Zhao Youju, and with a staggered force, she turned him around.

Sixteen-year-old Zhao and Ju, whose height was slightly lower than her, faced each other, Zhao and Ju looked at Yang Miaozhen in shock.

"I don't care if the road is long or short, I know that you are the one who wants to do great things!" Yang Miaozhen gritted her teeth and said: "If you just want to enjoy your own family, if you go to Naliuqiu now, even the emperor's official family is not as easy as you, you stay on this land, you must do something big!" ”

"Huh?"

"Although I am a stupid person, I can't get used to your tone now, as if you are about to enter a coffin! I tell you, even if you are a knife in the world, a manly man, you have to straighten your waist and smile at God like me! ”

Although Yang Miaozhen will be wrong, and the analogy is also nondescript, Zhao Heju's heart is still warm. He smiled rarely, and looked at Yang Miaozhen grabbing his hand: "Fourth lady, let me go." ”

Yang Miaozhen was still a little angry, but he let go of him according to his words. Zhao Youju took a deep breath, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Yang Miaozhen's palm: "You're right, even if you have a knife in the world, you have to straighten your waist and smile at God!" ”

Yang Miaozhen struggled slightly, and did not shake off Zhao Heju's hand, her face turned red. The heroine, who was still arrogant, became a little daughter-in-law who had just passed the door in an instant, and said timidly: "Let go, let me go!" ”

Zhao Youju didn't let go of her, when it came to strength, although Zhao Youju didn't exercise less, he was afraid that he was even worse than Yang Miaozhen, if she really wanted to break free, how could she not break free!

"What I think about is the ...... of the people in this world" Yang Miaozhen lowered her head, and suddenly pondered in her heart what she had said to herself since the beginning of the year, in the past few years, from Yanyun and Shandong, more than 100,000 people who were originally struggling between life and death have been placed in Liuqiu. Every time they go to beg, seeing the smiles on the faces of these people, and hearing them sing loudly in the fields, on the bow of the ship, in the mines, and in the workshops, Yang Miao always feels extremely happy in his heart.

"What Ah Ju wants to help is the people of the world, but it is not only the more than 100,000 people we are begging, the people of the world have not been able to live in peace, so he naturally refuses to go alone to seek happiness...... He...... He ......"

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Zhao Youju, but she happened to meet Zhao Youju's gaze. There was another fever on her face, so she shook off Zhao Youju's hand and ran forward quickly.

ran two steps, and was afraid that he would misunderstand him by throwing off Zhao Heju's hand, so he said, "Aju, let's see if you can catch me!" ”

The figure of the two chasing was seen by Qin Dashi, he smiled slightly, and then turned his face.

Almost all of the righteous young men like him had a smile on their faces, but Long Twelve still had a solemn face, as if he hadn't seen anything.

"Twelve." Qin Dashi said in a low voice.

"Hmm." Dragon Twelve responded

Qin Dashi was also eighteen years old, so he was given the character by Zhao and Ju, and the character is heavy and virtuous (Note 1), and he is the leader of these six Zhao and Ju's personal guards. He patted Long Twelve's shoulder and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I left it, but it was replaced by your kid's stubborn beating, I don't want to talk about you, only a little." ”

Dragon Twelve turned his face towards him, expressionless.

"If the official has any accident, even if it is injured a piece of oily skin, but you are safe and sound, I will take your life." Qin Dashi stared at him and said.

Long Twelve tilted his face and snorted dissatisfiedly, but he didn't say anything. His expression had clearly told Qin Dashi that if there was really such a situation, there was no need for Qin Dashi to come.

In order to avoid Shi Miyuan's suspicion, Zhao Heju decided to send out the six personal guards who had been with him for several years, originally Qin Dashi wanted to stay by himself, but Long Twelve actually cried like a child, Qin Dashi had no choice but to change with him. Zhao Youju felt that there would be no danger around him, if there was any accident, Qin Dashi was so handsome, it would be better to mobilize manpower outside, but it would be stronger than Long Twelve's loyalty, so he also agreed. After coming to Yuzhang Villa this time, only Long Twelve, Yang Miaozhen and Han Yu will accompany Zhao and Ju back to Hongqiao.

In the past few years, the guards around Zhao and Ju have also changed twice, and each time only Qin Dashi and Long Twelve are unable to move.

Zhao Youju returned to Qianzhuang's study, Han Yu had already laid out the pen and paper, her eyes were wandering, and she smiled softly at Zhao Youju: "Official, the pen and ink are ready." ”

To Zhao and Ju, she is like a life secretary, and almost everything is inseparable from her. Zhao Heju picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and began to write. After practicing calligraphy for so many years, he now has a good look at writing with a brush.

Han Yu quietly stepped back and stood aside, without glancing at the paper. She, Qin Dashi, and Long Twelve have all been confessed, and the principle of confidentiality must be strictly adhered to by Zhao Heju's side, and the best way to keep it secret is not to see it, not to see it, not to say it.

There was a sound of clanging footsteps outside, which Yang Miaozhen deliberately made, Han Yu looked at the door, and when she saw Yang Miaozhen appear, she stretched out her index finger and put it to her lips and gently shushed it. Yang Miaozhen stuck out her tongue and relaxed her steps, maybe it was because of the running just now, or maybe it was something else, her face was flushed, and she looked delicate.

Seeing that Zhao Youju was writing hard there again, she pursed her lips, and then glanced at Han Yu. Han Yu hesitated a little, and saw that Zhao Youju was concentrating and didn't pay attention, so she slowly walked out of the door.

"Sister Ayu, has Aju been a little weird lately?" After pulling Han Yu out, the two of them came to a big pine tree in the courtyard, and Yang Miaozhen asked Han Yu.

"Weird?" Han Yu pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head and said, "This is not something that a slave can know, Fourth Lady, why do you say that?" ”

"He said that he wanted me to beg, I was worried about what would happen......" Yang Miaozhen frowned slightly, and she still remembered the scene in the back garden in her heart: "I am a rough and fast-talking person, he won't tell me, but Sister Ayu is careful and considerate, he will definitely not hide it from you!" ”

"How can there be such a thing, the fourth lady is looking down on slaves." Han Yu sighed softly, she naturally discovered the abnormality of Zhao and Ju during this period of time, but she kept her duty and never asked.

"Could it be that I have too much heart?" Yang Miaozhen frowned again, and after a while, she snorted and said very domineeringly: "It's really me who has a lot of hearts, and what I want to do is what happens, with my pear flower gun, I always make sure he is right!" ”
