At the beginning of the lanterns, the lights in the governor's mansion were dim, and from time to time there were samurai in full armor patrolling and shuttling.

The maid took Yuan Mai to an elegant house and said, the master is waiting for the son inside, the son is invited in, and the cheap maid is leaving.

Yuan Mai tidied up his clothes and knocked on the door gently: "Father, I don't know what to call the child?" ”

"Is Xianyong here? Come on in. ”

Yuan Mai gently pushed open the door and entered the house, and gave Yuan Shao a salute. At this moment, Yuan Shao was wearing civilian clothes, sitting at the table to review the folds.

"Father, I don't know what to call the child to?" Yuan Mai asked cautiously.

"Nothing else, I just want to ask you that this expedition is the first time in your life, what are your requirements?"

Yuan Shao put down the brush in his hand and asked with a kind face.

"The child doesn't have any requirements, but I'm a little worried about Koji Yoshi, in case he doesn't obey......"

Yuan Mai actually wanted to say that I wanted to recruit a team of my own pro-soldiers, but I was afraid that I would be rejected if I said it directly, so I mentioned it on the side.

Yuan Shao stared out the window, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "There is some truth in what you said, this is arrogant, sometimes you don't take being a father in your eyes, let alone you." Although you are the overseer, if there is a conflict between the two of you, one side is the main general, and the other is the superintendent, but I am afraid that those captains and soldiers will not know who to help. In this way, I will ask your third brother to allocate another 500 of you as your personal guard, and only accept your dispatch alone, so that you will not be afraid of the hustle and bustle of Koji. ”

Yuan Mai was overjoyed when he heard this, thought about it for a while, and proposed: "Father, the third brother allocated 10,000 people to Liyi, and his heart is no longer happy. The boy did not want to ask him any more questions, so he asked his father for permission to recruit 500 men myself. ”

If this Yuan Shang had installed his cronies in my personal army, wouldn't my every move be controlled by him? It's not impossible that when I went to bed that day, my head moved.

"Okay, it's still thoughtful, and my father will allow you to recruit soldiers on the list tomorrow."

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and agreed to Yuan Mai's request.

Yuan Mai was overjoyed, and once again saluted Yuan Shao: "Thank you father, child." ”

After finishing the topic, the father and son chatted a few more words, Yuan Shao repeatedly warned Yuan Mai that when fighting, you should listen to Koji Yi, this guy has two brushes with soldiers, but the general direction of the problem must be judged, as long as Koji Yi shows bad intentions, he will be cut on the spot.

Yuan Mai promised repeatedly, with Yuan Shao's words, it is equivalent to having Shang Fang's sword, this guy Li Yi honestly follows him, and he will not treat him badly, once he wants to take the lead and pee on his head, he will be unceremoniously killed!

Seeing that Yuan Shao still had a lot of notes that had not been reviewed, Yuan Mai got up to say goodbye, rushed out of the study happily, and then prepared to visit Zheng's courtyard.

The winding path leads to a secluded passage, and after turning a few corridors, an elegant courtyard house is the residence of the Zheng family.

Because Yuan Shao doted on her, Zheng's living conditions were second only to his wife Liu, and there were usually six maidservants to serve their mother and daughter's daily life, and they could also receive a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan every month, of course, this was only allocated to her by Liu's surface; In addition, Yuan Shao often carried the Liu family to reward Zheng Yu with some precious jewelry and jade, so the family lived quite well.

"Hee-hee...... Brother Amama, you're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

As soon as Yuan Mai walked to the front of the courtyard gate, he saw a little girl with braids playing in front of the door, and a maid was accompanying her.

"Ah Ying, don't call Brother Amai in the future, you should call me fourth brother." Yuan Mai caressed the little girl's head lovingly, and pretended to be angry and said.

Every time I hear the name "Amai", Yuan Mai will think of the word "Wuxia Ameng", and now I don't know if Lu Meng is still the "Wuxia Ameng", but now he is no longer the "Yexia Ameng" of yesterday.

This little girl is so cute, although she has been in this world for a short time, Yuan Mai already loves this sister very much.

The little girl's name is Yuan Ying, she is seven years old this year, and she is Yuan Shao's youngest daughter. Raw lively and lovely, fair skin, a pair of watery eyes, clear spring water, a smile, showing two little tiger teeth, very cute.

Every time Yuan Mai sees this little girl, he will sigh in his heart, "What a beautiful embryo", if this Xiaoni is not my sister, when she grows up, she will definitely chase her.

"No, no, I'm going to call Brother Ammai, Ah Tan They all asked me to call the eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, it's ugly to death, and they all stare at each other and blow their beards, which is scary. Hello Brother Amari, I often make Sakura happy......"

The little girl stopped listening to Yuan Mai's words, and pouted in protest.

Yuan Mai was helpless, picked up the little girl, and kissed her pink little face: "Okay, okay, Brother is defeated to you, you can call it whatever you want!" ”

"Hee-hee...... That's how to be good, Sakura also kisses Brother Amati. The little girl smiled sweetly and kissed Yuan Mai's face fiercely.

After kissing, he wiped his little mouth and muttered: "The stinky beard pierces people to death!" ”

Yuan Mai smiled dumbly, is this beard just sprouting, if he crosses into Zhang Fei, he will not be scolded by women every day for his "stinky beard".

"By the way, Sakura, you just said that you have been waiting for me for a long time, is this true? Who told you I was coming tonight? Yuan Mai hugged Ah Ying and asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's my grandmother, who else is so smart besides her." The little girl pinched the head-tie rope in her hand and said confidently.

Yuan Mai nodded, didn't say anything more, but thought to himself, this Zheng Yu is extremely smart, and it seems that he is also very urban, since she can guess that I will come to visit her, I am afraid that most of them have also guessed my intention.

At this time, a maid came out of the courtyard and bowed to Yuan Mai: "Madame heard you speak, let the maid invite you into the house to talk." ”

Yuan Mai agreed, put Ah Ying on the ground, coaxed her a few words, then got up and followed the maid into the courtyard, then stopped at the door, and called softly: "Mother, Mai Te came to thank you for your help at the banquet today." ”

The door squeaked open, and Zheng greeted him with a smile, saying that I am a mother, and it should be done, and then let Yuan Mai into the guest room.

Zheng's guest room is very elegantly furnished, with round tables, round stools, wooden tables, etc., and the room illuminated by four candles is bright and bright, like day.

Yuan Mai sat on the round stool and glanced at Zheng Yu with a smile. I saw that her hair was wet and exuded a faint floral scent, apparently she had just washed her hair or taken a shower.

Women's surnames are all beauty-loving, and they remain unchanged for eternity. The weather gradually warmed up, and the young beauty-loving Zheng couldn't help but take off his thick winter clothes and put on bright and beautiful spring clothes. The proud figure, wrapped in a long green skirt, looms.

At this moment, under the illumination of the candlelight, the Zheng family, who exudes a fragrance, is actually unique. Yuan Mai couldn't help but feel his heart beat when he saw it, and in an instant, a blush flew on his face. In his heart, he hurriedly chanted "Don't look at indecent things", and hurriedly took his eyes off Zheng's body.

Twenty-five or sixteen-year-old Zheng Yu has an age that does not match her age, and she doesn't seem to pay attention to Yuan Mai's performance, or pretends not to see it. The maid made tea, and sat opposite Yuan Mai and gossiped with her.

Yuan Mai thanked Zheng Yu again, and Zheng Yu also smiled again and said that you are welcome. Then congratulations to Yuan Mai, who was canonized to the position of Dianxue today, and no one in the entire mansion will dare to underestimate Ah Mai in the future.

"All this is not due to my mother, if my mother hadn't asked me to sit down, I'm afraid that I wouldn't even have the qualifications to drink at the banquet, how could I be made an official by my father."

Yuan Mai took a sip of the teacup in his hand, pretending to "not squint". Facing this "mother" who is only ** years older than himself, he feels indescribably awkward.

Zheng Yuyan smiled and said, "Don't say that, you deserve all this." It's your own talent, even if you don't have my help today, your talent will shine, you wrote this poem is so good, I can't put it down, Auntie! ”

"Mother has won the prize!"

Yuan Mai smiled and said modestly. Originally, it was uncomfortable to chat with such a young and beautiful stepmother, but my name is not good, a young woman who is not a few years older than herself, one by one, "buys", it is really uncomfortable!

But after thinking about it, Yuan Mai is at least stronger than Yuan Selling, his name is Buy, at least it proves that he still has surplus and the ability to buy, if he is called Yuan Sell, he will not become a "seller"?

Who knew that Zheng Yu said that he actually sobbed: "I knew that you were talented, but it's a pity that Liu Jiao's mother-in-law usually bullies you, and I and a few sisters dare not speak out...... I had the heart to stand up for you, but I didn't dare to offend her. ”

"Maybe it is in response to the words of the ancients, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work their muscles and bones and starve their bodies and skin. Hehe...... I'll just think of this as God's tempering of me. ”

Yuan Maihan laughed and took a sip of tea. I don't know what Zheng meant by this.

But Zheng didn't take Yuan Mai's words, and continued: "The reason why I dare to slap this mother-in-law's intentions today is to let you sit next to my mother against her will, because my mother has entrusted the future of me and Ah Ying to you......"

Zheng Yu said with rain, and got up to kowtow to Yuan.

Yuan Mai was taken aback, I wiped it, which one is this playing? Isn't it possible to make an immortal jump?
