Chapter Seventy-Three: For Your Infatuation, For Your Truth

"This is for you."

Zhao and Ju did not stay in the family for long, but they met their grandfather, sat down for a while, and then turned back to the villa, and after arriving at their study, Zhao and Ju handed a box to Yang Miaozhen. Yang Miaozhen was taken aback, she remembered that when she caught Zhao Heju, he was also holding the box in his hand. Originally, she thought that this was a gift from Zhao Heju to her uncle's family, but now she realized that this thing was actually given to herself.

She took it blankly, looked at Zhao Youju, and didn't speak for a long time. Although she is heroic, she is not completely undressed, on the contrary, she also likes to dress herself up beautifully.

"This ...... I ...... pinching the box, Yang Miaozhen squeaked for a long time, and her expression made Zhao Heju smile slightly.

"Open it and see if you like it."

Yang Miaozhen opened the small wooden box, and there was a string of beaded flowers on the big red satin, the style was extremely beautiful, just one glance, Yang Miaozhen liked it.

"Put it on, the girls in the family have their own jewelry, but you don't have anything." Zhao Youju didn't know whether it was a cover-up or a deliberate one, so he said it again.

Yang Miaozhen puffed out her mouth slightly, as if she was angry, but her eyes stopped at the pearl flower, and her expression softened again. She is not a lover of money, but like all women, she has a love of beauty.

"I ......" held the beaded flower box tightly in her hand, Yang Miaozhen felt a little warm in her heart, since she could remember, no one had ever given her such a thing. Her parents died early, and she lived with her brother when she was a child, and her brother was also a rough man, who would have thought of giving her such a thing, or she bought some when she was older. This beaded flower was the first jewelry she received from someone else.

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Youju saw that she was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but want to tease her again: "Do you want to thank me?" ”

"Who wants to thank you!" Yang Miaozhen glared at her eyes and closed the box: "I am...... I just want to say that Dragon Twelve has a bit of a strange temperament these days, so you might as well go and see him. ”

"It's rare, it's rare, the fourth lady even noticed it." Zhao Heju smiled and said, these words made Yang Miaozhen's cheeks redden, she didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Heju anymore, grabbed the jewelry box and ran back to her house, put the jewelry box on the dressing table, thought about it and put it next to the bedside, opened the jewelry box after a while, put the beaded flower on her head, came to the bronze mirror and stroked twice, and put it back.

Not to mention that Yang Miaozhen was thinking about how to place the pearl flower in the house, after she left, Zhao Youju frowned, and even Yang Miaozhen, who had always been careless, found that Long Twelve's mood was wrong, so it proved that the matter was more serious.

These righteous teenagers, especially the first three periods, were taught by him, although because of their talents, each person's achievements and lengths are different, but he has great feelings for each of them. His career also needs the help of these young volunteers, so he doesn't want any of them to have problems.

The loyalty of the righteous boy to him is the result of his sincere feelings, and this loyalty is much stronger than the loyalty generated by the simple master-servant relationship. Therefore, Zhao and Ju can rest assured that they will send the Yixue boy to Liuqiu, which will constitute the backbone of their own Liuqiu colonial system, as long as the Yixue boy is here, then there is no need to worry about Liuqiu being occupied by others.

A momentary kindness can be exchanged for a momentary loyalty, and the loyalty bought by high-ranking officials will naturally be betrayed because of high-ranking officials.

"Ayu, the matter of Dragon Twelve...... Do you know why? Thinking of this, he asked.

"Da Lang knew it in his heart, but he asked knowingly." Han Yu served him a cup of tea and said softly.

"Hehe......"

To Han Yu's surprise, she was originally a little worried that Zhao Heju would be unhappy, but she could hear his laughter. Zhao Youju didn't laugh much, and he laughed, and he laughed a lot of that kind of silent smile, and it was very rare to laugh like this.

"This twelve...... Call him for me. ”

Long Twelve was still sweating when he was called, he was afraid that his body would smell of sweat, so he didn't dare to get too close to Zhao and Ju, and stopped when he arrived at the door: "Da Lang." ”

"Twelve, are you punching sandbags again?" Zhao Youju was practicing big characters, and when he saw him coming, he stopped writing and walked to his side. According to the measurement of later generations, Long Twelve is only of medium to short stature, about one meter six tall, with extremely thick hands and feet, thick eyebrows and fine eyes, and always no expression on his face. Seeing Zhao and Ju approaching, he was a little surprised and wanted to avoid it: "Da Lang, the villain is covered in stinky sweat." ”

"I've had headaches a lot these days, and I can't remember some things clearly." Zhao Heju patted him on the shoulder: "Do you remember what I said when I first took you to run around the mountain?" ”

"Yes." Dragon Twelve replied succinctly and forcefully.

"Tell me about it."

"Da Lang said that he would lead us to run all the time, if someone stops halfway, or runs a fork in the road, don't expect Da Lang to stop and look for it."

"Okay, just remember, I hope you can always run with me, you go." Zhao Youju patted him on the shoulder again and smiled faintly.

"The villain understands!" Dragon Twelve stood upright, suddenly feeling a heat in front of him, and he turned back in a standard queue fashion, striding away.

For a dead-eyed person like Long Twelve, it is extremely difficult to impress him with words, and Zhao Heju knows that only orders can be effective. Sometimes Zhao and Ju feel that Long Twelve is a natural soldier, he can't become a general or marshal, because he doesn't have so many thoughts, but he can definitely become the best soldier, the king of soldiers.

"He has too much energy, and he has the leisure to think about women, so it is better to draw up a plan, let him practice every day, practice until he has no time to think nonsense, close his eyes and sleep, after some time, Sister Xiaocui's child is born, and it will be fine." Zhao Youju thought to himself.

Out of Zhao and Ju's study, Long Twelve patted his chest hatefully, extremely annoyed in his heart. This embarrassing appearance of his own family was actually seen by Da Lang, and he should not be worried.

He returned to Houzhuang dejectedly, and when Qin Dashi saw this appearance, he couldn't help but stop and ask a few words. He is a stuffy gourd character, and Qin Dashi himself is also a long-hearted and short-mouthed person, so he can't ask anything famous, so he will let him go.

On the second day, Zhao and Ju came up with a training plan, if he had been militarized in the management of the righteous boys before, then this training plan was completely for professional soldiers. Long Twelve's original affairs were all canceled, and as long as Zhao and Ju didn't go out, he had to get up at six in the morning and start practicing, and it would not end until nine o'clock in the evening. The content includes activities such as fighting, running, and guns and sticks, which have been practiced before, as well as weight-bearing, archery, climbing, swimming, and prostration. Moreover, Zhao Youju also asked that he have to write down the training process and experience between daily training, which makes Long Twelve feel tired more than completing the training plan of the day.

With him as the leader, Qin Dashi and the others were not to be outdone, and followed suit. Yang Miaozhen saw them like this, she could only say that they were all crazy, although she was heroic and strong, but she was not yet willing to crawl in the muddy water with these boys.

Zhao and Ju solved the problem of Dragon Twelve and began to focus on the righteous children. Nowadays, there are three phases of Yixue, the earliest of which came in the seventh year of Jiading (1215), with a total of 260 people. Zhao and Ju have already decided that these three phases will be the last three phases of children that he personally brings, and in the future, the orphans that Shima Guangyan will take in will be directly transferred to Liuqiu, and the number will not be as limited as before.

These orphans will go to school with the children of the Red Jacket Army in Tamsui, and the best of today's Yixue teenagers will become their teachers.

After bringing three batches, he was already extremely experienced, and with the help of the righteous boys who stayed in the villa, the progress of these two hundred and sixty children was faster than that of the first three phases.

Among the 260 children, boys still account for the vast majority, 224 are boys, and 36 are girls.

"This is the last monthly exam result."

Han Yu handed over three blank pieces of paper to Zhao and Ju, and now the volume is still out by Zhao and Ju, but the correction is their business.

"I'll take a look......" Zhao Heju looked at it for a while, and then smiled slightly: "The results are better than you were at the beginning." ”

"The slave is stupid, although Da Lang taught him with his heart, but the slave is slow to learn." Han Yu said in a low voice.

"Huh?"

Zhao Youju raised his eyes to look at her, and noticed that she was drooping her eyelids and looking down at her toes. Zhao and Ju felt that there was no difference, and the strange feeling of Fang Cai might be that he was suspicious, so he turned his eyes to the paper again.

"This Peng Zhuo is good, this time it is the first again, Bai Taiping and Sima Chong are afraid that they will sulk again." While looking at the points, Zhao Youju muttered to himself, every name on this paper is not a simple symbol in his eyes, but a vivid face.

"Dong Pan, it's another Awan, she can be ranked third, she is also like Awan, she doesn't talk much and hides things in her heart, Ayu, among these girls, which one do you think is the most like you?"

"It's not like, a slave is so stupid, it's not good if it's like a slave." Han Yu still replied in a low voice.

This time, Zhao Youju was sure that there was indeed something wrong with Han Yu, he put down the paper and sighed: "If Ayu has anything on her mind, just tell me." ”

"Slave...... It's useless to be a slave. ”

Tears unconsciously fell from Han Yu's face and dripped on the ground on her feet. She wiped the back of her hand and pursed her mouth.

Zhao Youju took her hand and said slowly: "Ayu, but someone said you?" ”

"I didn't ...... didn't ......" Han Yu wiped her tears again: "Slaves are not like Twelve and Dashi who can be personal guards for Da Lang, not like Zi Yue and Xi Sheng, who can deal with one side for Da Lang, and who are not as good as Li Ye and Yi Laos who can lead people to do things for Da Lang, that is, among women, slaves can teach children for Da Lang as much as Ah Wan, and they can't protect Da Lang as well as the four ladies...... What a slave can do for Da Lang, anyone can do it, and they can do it better than a slave......"

Han Yu has a little inferiority, which she knew when she was still Zhao and Ju, but over the years, with him, Han Yu has gradually become confident, and she is no longer as shy and timid in her words and actions as she was at the beginning. Listening to her now, Zhao Youju thought she was a little inferior at first, but when she heard her mention Geng Wan and Yang Miaozhen, her heart suddenly jumped, and then she realized that something was wrong.

This girl is no longer the twelfth year old when we first met, but a girl who is over eighteen years old...... Are you jealous?

Although Zhao Youju was only thirteen years old, he regarded the righteous boy in his family as his junior student, so he only understood it at this time, his heart was first tight, then relaxed, and gently patted Han Yu on the shoulder.

"No one in this world is unique, and no one else can replace him." Zhao Youju said slowly: "Awan has Awan's strengths, the four ladies have the strengths of the four ladies, and Ayu also has Ayu's strengths." I was very unhappy when you said that what you did for me could be done by anyone, or even better. ”

Han Yu twitched her shoulders, but did not speak.

"I've had fewer headaches recently, isn't this thanks to Ayu's careful care, if I change to the fourth lady, I'm afraid that my head won't crack, but I will be pinched by her first." Zhao and Ju said again.

This was a little chilly Yang Miaozhen's words, Han Yu thought that Yang Miaozhen was indeed rude in housework, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but move, and she said in a low voice: "I can't let the fourth lady hear this." ”

"The fourth lady is straightforward, even if you hear it, it doesn't matter." Zhao Youju smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter if I hear anything?" Zhao Youju smiled, and suddenly heard Yang Miaozhen's voice outside, Han Yu was so shocked that she broke free of Zhao Youju's hand, took a few steps back, and before she could stand still, she saw Yang Miaozhen walking in from the door.

Now in Yuzhang Villa, even Zhao and Rui have to knock on the door before entering Zhao and Ju's study, only Yang Miaozhen sometimes forgets. She pushed open the door and stepped in with one foot, and then she remembered that she had forgotten to knock on the door, so she withdrew her foot, knocked on the door twice, and then walked in. Seeing that Han Yu's eyes were a little red, she immediately widened her eyes: "Wu Na...... Are you bullying Sister Ayu again? ”

"No, no!" Han Yu's face suddenly turned very red, she was indeed jealous, the girl's thoughts, seeing that Zhao and Ju were always coaxing Yang Miaozhen, and laughing more times than ever when she was with Yang Miaozhen, she muttered a little in her heart, Yang Miaozhen is nominally Zhao and Ju's concubine, this even Zhao's mother and Mrs. Quan's family have acquiesced, and she is just a maid ring in the family, not even a maid ring, and she doesn't know what her identity is, so she will feel it. Now that she heard Yang Miaozhen speak for her, she thought that Zhao Youju had deceived her, so she felt extremely ashamed.

"Sure enough?" Yang Miaozhen's bright eyes turned around on the two of them, and Zhao Heju waved his hand to her with a wry smile: "Fourth lady, where did you come from?" ”

"I just went to the old man to salute, and I told Rui to come here later." Yang Miaozhen said, although she is arrogant, there is no shortage of etiquette, she has to go to the whole family every day to say hello, the whole family knows that her son has his own plans, and she can't wait to see her grandson earlier, so she is really happy with Yang Miaozhen, but she knows that she can't do it, otherwise she would have urged the round house.
