Chapter 53 Dare to laugh at Tian Heng's husband

The dawn broke in the east, the rooster crow had stopped, and Yang Miaozhen hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, so she didn't wake up until she heard the faint sound of reading.

Hearing her movements, Han Yu, who had already gotten up in the outer room, immediately came in and asked, "The girl wants to wash?" ”

Yang Miaozhen stretched her waist, rubbed her eyes a little confused, and realized where she was after a while, and hurriedly jumped off the bed: "I'll come by myself and tell me where the well is." ”

"How can you let the girl come by herself!" Han Yu smiled softly, turned around and went out. Yang Miaozhen was stunned for a moment, this maid didn't seem to be a servant or the like anyway, and when I talked to her last night, I could hear that she was very cultivated.

She went out of the back room and went to the room where Han Yu lived outside, and found that two books were placed on the table, one of which had been opened. Yang Miao's heart moved again, this maid who served her was still literate, so she was probably reading here. She leaned up to look at it, and then put the book down, and was a little surprised, she didn't recognize any of the dense handwriting on the book that she didn't know where to write. In fact, she was illiterate in the first place, and there was an instinctive admiration for those who could read.

In her heart, those who can read and write are knowledgeable, and even a maid in this Yuzhang Villa can read and write, and the master's knowledge can be imagined. can think of the little master Zhao Heju staring at his own eyes in a daze yesterday, Yang Miaozhen couldn't help but want to spit on it: people are small and ghosts are big.

After a while, Han Yu returned to the house with a basin of clear water, and saw Yang Miaozhen looking at her book, and said a little shyly: "Slaves are stupid, if they don't work for a day, they will be surpassed by those sisters who entered school a few years later." ”

Yang Miaozhen was stunned when she heard this: "Your family has run a righteous school, even if you are a servant and a maid, you can also go to school?" ”

"But it's just for us." These things did not need to be avoided, so Han Yu did not hide them: "The servants and maids in the family, all under the age of seventeen, have gone to school in Yixue. ”

"That Meng Xisheng ......" Thinking of the Meng Xisheng who was also a good talker, Yang Miaozhen asked tentatively.

"Xisheng is naturally the same, others are smart, but they are not as reckless as me." Han Yu said.

"How many people are in your family like this?" Yang Miaozhen couldn't help but ask, if all the servants in the family are like this, then this Yuzhang Villa is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!

This question needs to be covered up, so Han Yu smiled and said: "Is the girl hungry, the kitchen is ready for breakfast, there are seven-color baked cakes, exquisite double strips, paddles, cakes, steamed buns, pine breasts, porridge has seven treasure vegetarian porridge, five-flavor porridge, mung bean porridge (Note 2), what the girl wants to eat, just tell the slave, the slave is good to go to the kitchen to ask for it." ”

Yang Miaozhen's family is only two brothers and sisters, and the elder brother is a rough character, how can he ever pay attention to eating and drinking! This series of food names was reported, and Han Yu didn't even breathe, and Yang Miaozhen had already heard that her eyes turned into a spinning top, leaving her previous questions behind. After pondering for a while, she said a little shyly: "It sounds all delicious, you pick two or three things for me, I eat a lot, I can't deserve you Jiangnan delicate girls." ”

Han Yu pursed her lips and smiled, and retreated again, and after a while, the other two older servants brought the food basket, and when they opened the basket, it was a small pot of mung bean porridge and two plates of pine nuts and steamed buns. Han Yu said while cleaning up the basin she had washed before: "The climate in the south is hotter than in the north, so I asked for mung bean porridge for the girl to cool off." The slave heard Xi Sheng say that the girl is a person who practices martial arts, and she must be a person who loves to eat fish, so she asked for loose breasts. The girl came from Shandong East Road, and the rice in the south was probably not used to eating, so the slave asked for steamed buns again—but the girl was satisfied? ”

Yang Miaozhen is not only satisfied, she is extremely satisfied, such a delicate and considerate beauty, even she also thinks that I am pitiful, but in Yuzhang Villa, she is just a maid waiting for people. Yang Miao's heart couldn't help but feel a little unfair for Han Yu, the owner of Yuzhang Villa let such a beautiful woman handle the cheap labor, obviously knowing people and not using people properly.

If Zhao Heju knew that he had the intention to arrange to be misunderstood by Yang Miaozhen like this, he didn't know how to be annoyed in his heart. Although he is calm and self-controlled, and he is also very good at figuring out people's hearts, he doesn't understand Yang Miaozhen's childlike heart, which causes such a misunderstanding.

"Sister Han...... How can you be regarded as a slave by such a person, and I will call you sister when I see that you are older than me! Yang Miaozhen wanted to do it, she asked Han Yu's name yesterday, so she said.

"But I don't dare, the girl is a guest invited by Da Lang, Da Lang has repeatedly explained that he can't be lazy, the slave has been with Da Lang for six years, but he has never seen him value any guest so much, if you let him know that the slave is not respectful, it will be bad." Han Yu smiled and rejected Yang Miao's kindness.

Yang Miao is really that kind of real temper, if she looks at a person and thinks it is good, then this person is not all good, if she feels that one person is bad, that person is all good and bad. Therefore, after listening to Han Yu's words, not only was she not happy because Zhao and Ju treated each other differently, but she felt a pang in her heart: That little ghost really has ulterior motives, otherwise why would he be courteous! This coming south may not be a good thing!

Thinking of this, Yang Miaozhen sprinkled all her anger on the food in front of her, and muttered hatefully in her heart while eating: "Since this is the case, I must eat more, so that the little ghost will spend more money, if I turn my face, I will have more strength to clean up that little ghost!" ”

When Han Yu came back after packing up the basin and towel that Yang Miaozhen washed her face, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw that there were only empty basins, bowls and chopsticks left in the food basket. Yang Miaozhen stroked her stomach with a smile on her face, only to feel that she had taken advantage of the little ghost with extremely hateful eyes, and only when she saw Han Yu did she remember that she had been waiting for her to live and didn't seem to have eaten, so she said apologetically: "I ate too fast, I also ate yours, Sister Han should blame me." ”

"Where is the girl, there is still in the kitchen, the slave will go to eat, I wonder if the girl is full?"

Yang Miaozhen ate some more to make Zhao and Ju spend more, but the round belly made her have to give up such a plan. Seeing her like this, Han Yu couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "Girl, do you want to walk in the garden?" Now is the time for Da Lang to learn calligraphy, and then ...... In half an hour he will see the girl. If the girl wants to meet the master who came with her yesterday, the slave can also take the girl there. ”

"Let's walk around the yard." Yang Miaozhen's face flushed slightly.

Although she is relatively simple-minded, she is not the kind of stupid person who doesn't know what to do, but because Zhao Heju looked at her strangely yesterday, she has some opinions about Zhao Heju, but she doesn't really regard Zhao Heju as a villain. Walking in the courtyard, seeing rockeries, small bridges, clear springs, ancient pines, everything is extremely exquisite, although she does not understand what is poetic and picturesque, but can walk in this kind of scenery, outside the courtyard is the green mountains and green mountains, the courtyard is a small bridge and flowing water, but also let her can't help but feel relaxed.

"The owner of this house is for enjoyment, that is, the courtyard of the guest room is also cleaned up so chic...... "Yang Miao thought sincerely.

Her idea is right, Zhao Youju, as a traverser, has extremely high requirements for the living environment, although it is not enough to talk about pleasure, but always try to make his own house more comfortable.

After moving around in the courtyard for a while, a petite girl appeared in her sight, and the girl blessed her slightly: "Miss Yang, Uncle Liu, please go out and see you." ”

This is the women's guest room, and Liu Quan is not easy to break in at will, so he called Geng Wan, who was guarding outside the door, to come and say. Yang Miaozhen followed Geng Wan out of the door, and when she saw Liu Quan with her hands behind her back, the hidden worries that often hung between her eyebrows seemed to be gone.

"Uncle." Yang Miaozhen said: "Is there something wrong with calling me out?" ”

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you." Liu Quan glanced at Geng Wan, Geng Wan understood, and immediately retreated, seeing that there was no one near this courtyard, Liu Quan said in a low voice: "This Yuzhang Villa is definitely not an idle place. ”

"I understand it, even if I am a servant and a maid, and I am all literate, is it ordinary?" Yang Miaozhen said.

She said something to Shaoxing Mansion, the style of writing here was originally extremely prosperous, since four years ago, Huo Chongcheng, the little master of Huojiazhuang who is known as a genius, recruited teachers to teach the head of the school with great fanfare, and all those who have some money in the family have followed suit, and all of a sudden, Shaoxing Mansion Shanyin, Huiji County, almost all the rich families have invited Mr. to teach the servants to read and count, according to Huo Chongcheng's words, that is, if you can't read a few words and can't count a few accounts, you are not a good housekeeper. has such a high profile as Huo Chongcheng, but it has overshadowed the limelight of Yuzhang Villa, which was the first to teach domestic servants to read and write, and the surrounding people have long been surprised.

This is naturally a trick that Zhao and Ju and Huo Chongcheng played together, in order to make Yuzhang Villa no longer special.

"This little master is very clever, and I don't know who taught it. If that person is willing to help, there is hope for the brothers in the mountains, or they can avenge your brother! ”

Hearing her uncle mention her brother, Yang Miaozhen pursed her lips and stopped the tears that wanted to burst out of her eyes: "Uncle, to avenge my brother, I will go in person, what is the result of that boatman's qu cheng, not in the water, I can kill him with one shot." But the brothers in the mountains can now pick some wild vegetables and sour fruits for a living, if they survive until winter...... Since my brother pulled them up, I have to give them an explanation! ”

"But it's a girl's ...... you," Liu Quan sighed, his nephew is not comparable to a man, and he is the most righteous.

"I'm not afraid of hardship, if the owner of this Yuzhang Villa can't think of a way, I'll go to find Brother Li Quan, our two families are together, and we will definitely make the Dajin Emperor unable to settle down!"

"It's a good idea, but ...... Do you think it's a good idea to bring those old brothers into this bloody storm again? Liu Quan stared at Yang Miaozhen and asked.

Yang Miaozhen was a little dumbfounded.

"Miaozhen, if it is for the sake of the brothers, it is the best policy to send them to the Great Song Dynasty to live this peaceful life." Liu Quan shook his head: "Even if a hero is like your brother, he is just defeated and died, with us, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything about Dajin." ”

Yang Miaozhen was still speechless, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and at this moment, Meng Xisheng came over and said, "Uncle Liu, Miss Yang, my little master is invited." ”

"Your little master?" Liu Quan asked in surprise, "Isn't your master here?" ”

"In this Yuzhang Villa, everything is in charge of my little master." Meng Xisheng smiled.

"That little ghost turned out to be ......" Although he had seen Zhao and Juzhi's young intelligence, Yang Miaozhen was still very surprised that he could preside over this family, and almost said everything in his heart.

The two followed Meng Xisheng to Zhao and Ju's study, although Zhao and Ju now have a study in Laozhuang and Xinzhuang, but he is still only in Laozhuang's study when he sees guests. Seeing the two coming, he knew that the other party was heroic, and he didn't have much courtesy, just beckoned the two to sit down.

Seeing the room full of thread-bound books, Yang Miao's heart was a little weak, with Zhao and Ju at a young age, if he really read all the books in this study, what a lot of knowledge it should be!

"Uncle Liu, Fourth Lady, although I invited you with a letter, but ......" Zhao and Ju were a little deep when they spoke, as if they were thinking about something, Yang Miaozhen's wonderful eyes touched his eyes, and he felt that this young man had a different temperament when he was concentrating on thinking, but it was not as annoying as when he stared at his house in a daze.

After a short pause, Zhao Heju continued: "But I still want to ask, where did you come from?" ”

Liu Quan and Yang Miaozhen glanced at each other, and Zhao and Ju's question made them feel extremely puzzled, and somewhat rude.

"Brother Yang An'er's matter, Brother Shi Mo sent someone to send a letter to say, I want to ask, what are your plans in the future, if you stay in Jiangnan, I dare not say anything else, so I will ask the two of you to be my family Mr. Yixue, specializing in teaching the children of the family martial arts. If you have any other plans, please let us know earlier, and I may be able to help. ”

Hearing Zhao and Ju say this, Liu Quan and Yang Miaozhen understood, and Yang Miaozhen was a little unhappy in his heart: "Although this little ghost has knowledge, he has a crooked stomach, and he doesn't speak straightforwardly, which makes people sulk!" ”

She didn't know that this was Zhao Youju's hesitation after she learned that she and Li Quan had met.

"Since Da Lang asks like this, then I will say it directly." muttered a couple of sentences in his heart, Yang Miaozhen said: "I didn't come for my own food and clothing, Shi Modong's family said that there are masters in Yuzhang Villa, and they can find a way to live for my brother's brothers, I just ask Da Lang to ask that master to help and save those brothers' families, as for myself, I want to go back to Shandong and make a mess with Brother Li Quan!" ”

Zhao Heju originally looked very focused when she heard her speak, but when she heard that she still wanted to go north to find Li Quan, her heart sank.

Could it be that she really can't change history, she still wants to marry Li Quan, and in the end one is defeated and the other disappears?

If even the fate of this woman cannot be changed, how can we change the fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty and change the fate of China?

"Fourth lady, it is said that the rebels call you aunt?" Zhao Yoju asked.

"That's the brothers lifting me up." Yang Miao is really straightforward.

"If it were someone else, would the brothers in the rebel army be convinced?" Zhao Youju asked again: "My family has a way to settle these people, but how to make them obey?" ”

This is to the point, except for Yang Miaozhen, even Liu Quan can't get the righteousness army's convincing, Yang Miaozhen can't help but hesitate, Liu Quan is overjoyed, he is old and knowledgeable, and knows that Zhao and Ju said this, that is, Yang Miaozhen wants Yang Miaozhen to stay and help settle the rebels.

As far as his original intention is concerned, he also hopes that his niece can stay in Jiangnan and not return to the bloody killing field, so as not to be as unfortunate as her brother.

Note 1: Tian Heng was proclaimed king at the end of the Qin Dynasty, but committed suicide because he was ashamed of being a vassal to Liu Bang, and all 500 heroes under his command committed suicide and martyrdom. This title uses this dictionary, firstly, because Yang An'er, Yang Miaozhen and Tian Heng are generally Qi people, and secondly, Tian Heng committed suicide without placing his subordinates, but Yang Miaozhen was seeking a way out for his subordinates to go south.

Note 2: They are all eaten in the Song Dynasty in "Old Stories of Wulin".
