The small courtyard is a world of its own, and the two little guys rarely go out, on the one hand, because Zhang Ru thinks about their safety, and on the other hand, neither of them likes to go out and wander.

Every day, except for the Mongolian gentleman who taught Tuhu and a few gentlemen who taught horses, they would often go in and out of this small courtyard, and after Su Qiqi left, the most people who came to the small courtyard were Fan Wuyi's master and apprentice.

Jianghu Fan Wuyi is really fond of the two little guys, while Fan Tong is more of a love house and the taste of Wu.

In the courtyard, Tu Hu Fuqin committed suicide, Ma Tongbei brandished a bamboo sword, the performances of the two complemented each other, no one noticed that Zhang Ru had been observing at the door for a long time.

After a song, the sword dance stopped, and the white gauze clothes that Su Qiqi had worn by the stone table hung on the cross wooden frame and flew in the wind, as if Su Qiqi was applauding the two.

The two made the same action, and bowed to Su Qiqi's clothes very neatly.

Ma Tongpao panted and took Tu Hu's hand and said, "Brother Tu Hu, do you think Sister Qiqi will come back?" ”

The teenage comrade Ma has not taken off his childishness, but he is like a mirror in his heart, and he still has the hope that Su Qiqi will come back, and he takes the trouble to ask, just so that he will not forget his mother-like sister when he grows up.

Tu Hu's eyes were sad, he squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile, and his handsome face was full of decadence: "Yes, Sister Qiqi will definitely come back." She said that she would watch us marry and have children, and she would help us teach our children! ”

Ma Tongpao waved his small fist, which was no longer fleshy, and his face was full of determination: "Yes, Sister Qiqi will definitely come back." In the future, no matter whether there is Sister Qiqi in the heart of that negative man, Sister Qiqi is our relatives. ”

Tu Hu said with a cold face: "Don't worry, no one can take the place of Sister Qiqi." ”

Ma Tongpao tilted his head and asked: "But I heard that a shameless vixen has recently lived in the Hou Mansion, you said that in a few years, will the Hou Ye forget Sister Qiqi!" ”

Tu Hu gritted his back molars and said: "In the Dingbian Hou Mansion, there can only be one hostess, and this hostess, except for Sister Qiqi, no one is qualified to be it." If Master Hou leads other women into the door and comes to one, I will drive away one, come two, and I will drive away a pair. ”

"Yes! I'll help you! The little guy also puffed up.

Seeing the two boys who were enemies swearing and swearing there, Zhang Ru couldn't help but laugh dumbly. He knew very well how important Su Qiqi was to the two boys.

didn't expect these two old guys to know so much about the affairs of the house without leaving the house, and they also treated Jiang Caiwei as a fox spirit.

He walked into the courtyard, coughed dryly, and only after successfully attracting the attention of the two of them did he pretend not to know anything and asked, "What are you two boys muttering?" ”

Ma Tongbei was very cunning and got behind Tu Hu, and waved his little hands around: "No, Master Hou, we didn't say anything." ”

Tu Hu Ke didn't care about this, and said bluntly: "Our two brothers are discussing how to get out the fox spirit you led into the door in the future. ”

Zhang Ru originally intended to scare the two, but he didn't expect Tu Hu to say this directly, which made him not know how to answer.

After changing for a while, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Eh, what fox spirit, this house is all his own people, there is no so-called fox spirit." You two boys are big ghosts, don't think about those who don't have them, just do your own thing. ”

Tu Hu didn't plan to give this Hou Ye, who was considered powerful in Daming, to give any good face, and asked with a dark face: "Hou Ye is busy, how can you have the time to come and see us two orphan boys who have no father and no mother today." ”

Zhang Ru feigned anger and said, "Tu Hu, how can you speak!" There are a lot of things to do, and it is true that there is some neglect of you, but this does not mean that Benhou does not care about your growth. ”

Tu Hu nodded with interest and said, "Well, Master Hou has taught me a lesson, the two of us eat yours and live with yours, we really shouldn't talk to you like this." It's Tu Hu's fault, if Hou Ye is angry, Tu Hu will ask for punishment. ”

Zhang Ru said angrily: "Come on, don't be weird with yin and yang, you kid." I came here this time because I have something to tell you. ”

Ma Tongpao, who had a very keen sixth sense, seemed to realize something, and immediately hugged Tu Hu's thigh: "No, Brother Tu Hu can't go, I won't let him go." ”

Tu Hu's face changed slightly, knowing that his mission was coming, he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and pulled away from the horse comrades, and then regardless of the horse comrades who were crying, he walked towards Zhang Ru and said, "Master Hou, let's find a clean place to talk." ”

Zhang Ru nodded, looked at Ma Tongpao and sighed.

There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, Tu Hu is reluctant to Ma Tongpao, and Ma Tongpao is also reluctant to Tu Hu, their friendship is very rare. It is no exaggeration to say that the friendship between these two boys is no less than the relationship between Zhang Ru and Zhu Youzhang.

Walking to a secluded place, Zhang Ru was silent for a long time without speaking, and letting Tu Hu go to the grassland was a decision made a long time ago. Now, seeing the appearance of Ma Tongpao and Tu Hu's reluctance, he didn't know how to say it.

In the end, Tu Hu took the initiative to ask very reasonably: "Master Hou, is it time to come?" ”

Zhang Ru nodded, still not speaking.

Tu Hu said: "Can Tu Hu dare to ask the Hou Ye for something?" ”

Zhang Ru looked up in surprise: "Ah, what? You say! ”

Tu Hu said: "I'm just a small pawn in the border army of Yajiao Mountain, and I can escape with a life, all thanks to the blessing of the marquis." Not to mention living a life in the Hou Mansion that ordinary orphans dare not think of, all of this was given by the Hou Ye.

Tu Hu shouldn't have made some unreasonable requests, but Tu Hu had no father or mother since he was a child, and if he hadn't been taken in by the general, maybe Tu Hu would have died in the cold wave of winter.

In the first battle of Yajiao Mountain, the general died in battle, and so many veterans who survived the battle died, but I was the only one who died.

On that day, Tu Hu swore that he would not kill the Tatars in this life, and Tu Hu would be ashamed of General Tu Hu under Jiuquan.

When I came to the Hou Mansion, Sister Qiqi treated me and my little comrades like a sister, and from her, I felt the taste of my mother. That was something I couldn't have imagined when I was at the Yajiao Mountain barracks.

But in the Hou Mansion, I got it.

I am grateful to Master Hou and Sister Qiqi from the bottom of my heart, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, and Sister Qiqi had an accident. I know that I can't blame Lord Hou for those things, and I can't blame any of the guards of the Hou Mansion.

Everything is fate.

Hou Ye is the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty and the hope of the Ming Dynasty.

The cooperation between Hou Ye and His Majesty can be said to be seamless, if Hou Ye is allowed to realize his ambitions, Daming will undergo earth-shaking changes.

It's a pity that Tu Hu is not a person who takes state affairs first, Tu Hu is just a small person, and he only thinks about making the people he cares about live a good life.

Those lofty ambitions have nothing to do with our and other small people.

Therefore, Tu Hu asked Hou Ye to agree, Tu Hu did not return from the grassland for a day, and Hou Ye was not allowed to marry a woman other than Sister Qiqi for a day. ”

His request can be said to be very excessive, after all, if he can't return from the grassland in this life, it means that Zhang Ru will not be able to marry a wife and have children in this life.

As a man in this era, marrying a wife and having children is a very important thing, no less than being promoted and getting rich. And Tu Hu knew this, but he made an almost rude request.

Zhang Ru was no longer silent, and frowned: "Do you know what you are asking for." ”

Tu Hu's eyes were firm, and his fists were clenched: "I know that my request may not be close to people, but I am begging my brother-in-law as a younger brother, not as a subordinate to ask for the Hou Ye." ”

Zhang Ru said indifferently: "No matter what capacity you ask me, your request is very unreasonable. Qiqi is gone now, and she won't be coming back. ”

When he walks here, he means death.

But Tu Hu's answer turned all the reasons he had prepared into nonsense: "As long as you are willing, Sister Qiqi will definitely return to you." Maybe you, the authorities, don't know how much work Sister Qiqi has spent on you, but we outsiders can see it very clearly.

For your sake, she gave up everything she had in the White Lotus Sect, and even did not hesitate to cut off relations with her biological father. For your sake, she gave up Tang Ao, a rich suitor who rivaled the country, and even stopped paying attention to that son-in-law with a very good temperament. For your sake, she's willing to carry her reputation as a slut, even if the gossip will reach her ears from time to time.

She is my sister, you bear her, I won't let you go. ”

Looking at Tu Hu, who had reached the height of his ears, he sighed in his heart that while this child had grown up, there were also a lot of Su Qiqi's kindness to him.

For a while, Zhang Ru also felt a lot of emotion.

Tu Hu didn't wait for Zhang Ru to speak, and said: "Sister Qiqi agrees, that fox spirit can become one of the hostesses of the Hou Mansion, if Sister Qiqi doesn't agree, that fox spirit steps into the Hou Mansion, even if I Tu Hu is in the grassland, I will definitely not let you go." Hou Ye either don't let me go to the grassland, once I go, I have to make sure that Sister Qiqi is happy. Otherwise, even if he was infamous by history, Tu Hu did not hesitate to provoke a war between the Han and Mongolian tribes. ”

Looking at his expression, it didn't look like he was joking at all, and Zhang Ru's expression became serious: "Tu Hu, are you sure you don't need to take back what you just said?" ”

Tu Hu said categorically: "I am already ashamed of the robe of the three thousand deaths in Yajiao Mountain, if I can't say a fair word for the people I care about, what good is Tu Hu's life!" ”

Zhang Ru said coldly: "If you have a kind, just say it again." ”

Tu Hu looked ahead, not afraid: "If Sister Qiqi is unhappy, Tu Hu will not hesitate to provoke a war between the two clans, and he will not die!" ”

Zhang Ru was angry, and raised his hand to slap him: "These words, you keep them and talk to those old brothers who are guarding the gate of the Ming Dynasty underground." You don't have to worry about Benhou's affairs, and no one can control Benhou's life. ”
