"Master Hou." Tu Hu shouted Zhang Ru angrily.

After seeing Zhang Ru, Ma Tongbei jumped on Zhang Ru with an arrow step, and his fat body almost didn't crush Zhang Ru to the point of being angry.

The little one played with his beard and said, "Why can't you grow this beard?" ”

Zhang Ru has a habit of shaving, and he doesn't like to grow a mouthful of hair like people in this era.

Letting the little guy rub his chin with his fleshy little hands, Zhang Ru looked at Tu Hu: "What, haven't you been happy lately?" ”

Tu Hu's eyes flickered: "No. Nothing unhappy. ”

Zhang Ru, who felt that something was wrong, instinctively furrowed his eyebrows: "Just say what you have, don't hide it." ”

Tu Hu secretly glanced at Jiang Caiwei, who was standing beside him with a blue face, and still didn't dare to say. It's still Ma Tongpao, this kid is not afraid of things, and said with a big grin: "It's not Wang Zhou yet, I always want to drive Sister Jiang away." ”

Jiang Caiwei was unhappy because her arrival was completely ignored by the person opposite.

But then, what Zhang Ru said made her even more angry.

After listening to Ma Tongpao's explanation, Zhang Ru said lightly: "She is not from the Hou Mansion in the first place, and she has lived there for a month, so it is normal for her to leave." If I continue to live like this, who knows what people outside will say about me. ”

Ma Tongpao said indifferently: "Big, you are still afraid of people saying that back then. Back then, when you beat someone, you weren't afraid of what people said. ”

Originally, he wanted to say that you weren't afraid of people talking about Sister Qiqi when she was here, but at the moment when the words were about to come out, he was afraid of arousing Zhang Ru's sad memories, so he said that he was beating people.

Tu Hu was worried for a while, and was relieved to see that Ma Tongbei was very smart and did not mention Su Qiqi's name.

"You can't be too timid, you can't compare to a child. Okay, you two don't have to worry about Miss Jiang's affairs, hurry up and go back what you should do. Zhang Ru patted the buttocks of his fellow horses and said.

Ma Tongpao pouted: "What, I can't see anyone for ten days and half a month, and I finally see it and bombard people outside." ”

Since following Zhang Ru, under the guidance of Su Qiqi, the little guy has become more and more familiar with Zhang Ru, in his mind, Su Qiqi has long been like his mother, and Zhang Ru naturally made him a father.

It's just that in this era of strict hierarchy, he can't call Zhang Ru's father.

After Su Qiqi left, he and Tu Hu were very resentful of Zhang Ru for a while, and even the old guy Fan Wuyi couldn't help but have a grudge against Zhang Ru, not to mention these two little guys who were tired of being with Su Qiqi almost every day.

As time went on, Zhang Ru did not lead other women into the Hou Mansion like those big officials, and he didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the strings. In addition, Zhang Ru would make himself very tired with official business every day, so Jiang Caiwei, who finally appeared in the Hou Mansion, made the three ill-intentioned guys, one old and two young, have some thoughts that should not be generated.

Fan Wuyi was an old man, and he knew that Zhang Ru would definitely not listen to him, so he sent two small ones.

By the way, let Tu Hu have a good chat with Zhang Ru, the envoy from the Tatar side has already appeared, and in the near future, Tu Hu will go to the grassland to complete his mission.

It's a pity that Zhang Ru doesn't seem to appreciate the kindness of the three.

Comrade Ma refused to leave: "If you don't go, you have to promise Sister Jiang to stay." You don't know how boring Tu Hu and I are every day, and we don't even have anyone to talk to. ”

Zhang Ru smiled bitterly: "Don't you have Senior Fan with you, what's so boring." ”

Ma Tongpao pouted and said: "Grandpa Fan just let me practice every day, he just talks to us at all, and from time to time I can still hear him talking to himself, saying that he should find a daughter-in-law, it is time to find a daughter-in-law." ”

Zhang Ru was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he seemed to have promised Fan Wuyi to find a daughter-in-law for Fan Tong.

Standing up with his horse comrades and putting the little guy down, Zhang Ru said with a straight face: "Okay, go back and tell Grandpa Fan, just say that I am already looking for it." After Fan Tong came back from Datong, he asked someone to be a matchmaker for him. ”

After saying that, he turned and walked away, without stopping for the slightest.

Jiang Caiwei, who was being ignored during the whole process, couldn't hold back any longer, a light sweep blocked Zhang Ru's way, opened her arms, her chest rose and fell slightly, and her face was flushed with anger: "You hate me very much? ”

Zhang Ru was slightly surprised: "Why does the girl ask like this?" ”

"Isn't it annoying that the three of you are here and you ignore my existence?" Jiang Caiwei's performance was a little aggressive.

Zhang Ru said embarrassedly: "First, girl, you are living in the Hou Mansion, I didn't ask you to come." Second, you and I are only meeting for the third time today, so we don't know each other very well. I don't hate you, but I definitely don't welcome you. I don't think I'll talk to you much until I know your ultimate goal. ”

Jiang Caiwei said angrily: "Do you think your aunt wants to live in your Pohou Mansion!" ”

Zhang Ru smiled: "Since you don't want to, the girl will please, and I will let someone clean up the house later." ”

"You." Jiang Caiwei was obviously angry, and she didn't notice that her nails were pierced in her palms.

Ma Tongpao and Tu Hu were afraid that the two would quarrel, so they hurriedly came over to persuade them, one pulling Zhang Ru and the other pulling Jiang Caiwei, both of whom were talking for each other.

Ma Tongpao said: "Sister Jiang, don't be angry, I have this bull temper, and I used to say this when Sister Qiqi was here." Actually, I'm a good person, but I'm not very good at expressing myself, so I often say the wrong thing a lot of the time. ”

Tu Hu pulled Zhang Ru aside and said, "Master Hou, don't be angry, Sister Jiang is really good." I know I shouldn't have caused you any trouble, but in my heart, you're like my big brother. I'm about to leave the Central Plains, and I don't know if I'll be able to meet again alive after I go to the grassland. After Sister Qiqi left, your whole person has changed, although you can't see it on the surface, but several of us know that he is very heartbroken. But people have to look forward, Sister Qiqi has a spirit in the sky, and she doesn't want you to be like this. ”

Zhang Ru suppressed his anger and said, "Did Wang Zhou's little bastard teach you to say that?" ”

In the entire Hou Mansion, except for Wang Zhouhui, who is idle and has nothing to do, no one else will do so much.

Therefore, he immediately thought of Wang Zhou.

Tu Hu waved his hand again and again: "No, no, it's because Grandpa Fan Wuyi saw you crying in the previous room a few times, and after coming back, he told us, and we decided to help you." You are a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, if it weren't for you, I might have died in the city of Yajiao Mountain. As a subordinate, I don't want to see my boss like this, and as a younger brother, I don't want to see my brother like this. ”

Zhang Ru smiled a little unnaturally, stretched out his hand weakly, and gently patted Tu Hu's shoulder: "There are some things that you don't understand." Don't be busy with these things in the future, I know in my heart that you children don't understand the things of adults. ”

Tu Hu, who had always been in awe of Zhang Ru, was not obedient, and tears fell down angrily: "I'm not young anymore, I know we misunderstood you, and I also know the bitterness in your heart, but people can't be resurrected after death!" ”

Zhang Ru's face changed suddenly, he gritted his back molars, and sighed lightly for a long, long time: "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

After saying that, he fled with a brisk walk.

He didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't want to touch it, because once it did, his heart would ache faintly.

Jiang Caiwei, who was held by Ma Tongpao on the spot, jumped to her feet in anger, but she had no way to take Zhang Ru.

Her purpose is very simple, that is, to use Zhang Ru and Jinyiwei to avenge the elder in Datong. But after a month, he didn't even have a chance to see Zhang Ru.

As a woman, and a beautiful woman, in some psychological ways, she can't accept it anyway.

Back in the guest room, she didn't listen to the persuasion of Ma Tongpao and Tu Hu, she was thinking about someone's words in her heart, thinking about whether she really left him and couldn't take revenge.

There are not many times they have met, but Jiang Caiwei's impression of Zhang Ru is very deep, after all, it is difficult to produce a Hou Ye in his twenties in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that Zhang Ru is still a Hou Ye who holds authority.

Thinking about it, her thoughts began to fly, am I really so annoying? Am I not even qualified to let him look at it squarely?

As soon as this thought popped up, Jiang Caiwei was suddenly shocked, because even she didn't know why she suddenly had such an idea.

Are you really that thick-skinned? Jiang Caiwei, are you so reliant on skin? After asking herself two questions in her heart, Jiang Caiwei packed her bags very stubbornly and left the Dingbian Marquis Mansion before nightfall.

After Jiang Caiwei left, the two little guys were very unhappy, and the old guy was not happy, but they all buried their unhappiness in their hearts.

Like Jiang Caiwei's appearance, Jiang Caiwei's departure still didn't let Zhang Ru take it to heart, because at this time, a more important thing completely ruined his hard-won leisure.

On the first day of the fourth month of the second year of Hongzhi, Yu Zijun, the general soldier of Yansui who seemed to have died in February in the original history, finally died after being tortured by illness and emaciated.

After Yu Sheng, who was supposed to follow Zhang Ru and then enter Jinyiwei, was very irresponsibly thrown into the Shenji Battalion in the Twelfth Regiment Battalion, this was the first time he visited Zhang Ru.

"Master Hou, my father, let's go." Yu said calmly.

Zhang Ru stood up suddenly, and the feeling in his heart was inexplicable.

"When?" Zhang Ru took a deep breath.

Yu Sheng said: "Seven or eight days ago, I just got the news. ”

Zhang Ru rubbed his temples and muttered for a moment: "Let's go back and take a look!" Give him one last ride. ”

"Yes." Yu Sheng didn't say much, and left after listening to Zhang Ru's explanation. He had a bad relationship with his father, but when he really heard the bad news, he still couldn't stand it.

It's just that he is a person who is good at hiding his emotions, and he didn't show all this in front of Zhang Ru.

Zhang Ru began to have a headache, not because of how deep Yu Zijun's friendship with him was, but because as soon as Yu Zijun died, the position of Yansui's general soldier was vacant, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.
