"Chu'er is here?" Zhang Changxiu asked in surprise, and when he saw the little hawthorn nodding, he really believed it.

Hua Chu'er also looked for him from the future yamen.

When King Huai heard this, he put one hand on the little hawthorn's head: "Then don't disturb the Taishou, this king will go to see the situation of this school for you." ”

"There is King Lao Huai, and the lower officials will send King Huai off." Zhang Changxiu took advantage of the situation.

Zhang Changxiu did not go directly to the back office to find the Hua family, but went to the study of the government first.

Before he arrived at the Ya study, he saw Xiao Shizi coming from the opposite side, and he looked a little panicked.

Zhang Changxiu couldn't help frowning.

"Master Taishou." Xiaoshizi stepped forward and saluted in a panic.

Zhang Changxiu asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?" ”

The road where the two of them were located led directly to the Ya Study, and the situation of Xiaoshizi was inevitably suspicious.

"The second lady asked me to call the master, I just went to the side hall and didn't see the master, so I ran here to take a look." Xiao Shizi shrunk his neck and looked at Zhang Changxiu carefully, but what he said was extremely sincere, "I just called outside and left." ”

"So." Zhang Changxiu nodded suspiciously, "You go and tell the second lady, and I'll go over immediately." ”

"Yes." Xiaoshizi nodded, turned around and ran to the back office.

Zhang Changxiu silently stared at his back as he walked away, and walked cautiously to the ya's study.

The Ya Study is a default forbidden area in the Yamen. Except for the master who occasionally goes to sort out the materials and get things, no one else can go in anymore.

Because, Zhang Changxiu doesn't like to be disturbed, and he doesn't like the mess in the study.

There is a small warm pavilion next to the study for Zhang Changxiu to rest when he is tired of office work. The other furnishings are nothing more than bookshelves, collection shelves, public desk chairs, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, four treasures of the study, ordinary can no longer be ordinary.

Zhang Changxiu stood in front of a map of the thirteen counties, glanced over, and first saw a small fortified city in the mountains.

Pull up the city map, and the bookshelf next to it automatically moves to the other side, revealing an elaborate closet filled with various books. Among them is an inconspicuous wooden box.

Zhang Changxiu took out the wooden box and opened it to see that a piece of brown paper inside was well rolled and neatly placed.

The brown paper scroll depicts a map of the mines.

The specific distribution locations of the mineral deposits are clearly marked above.

There are also a few specially circled with red pens, which are the concentrates of the thirteen counties.

There are also a few red dots, which are the weapons of the thirteen counties.

In the heart of the mountains, there is a large red dot that stands out. There, is the largest armory in the thirteen counties, and the fine weapons made are all used for battlefield battles.

Zhang Changxiu saw that the brown paper drawing was fine, so he was relieved, but he still faintly felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it for a long time, I went to several other places to secretly check the defense maps of the thirteen counties, etc., and made sure that there was no problem, so I locked the door with confidence and left the ya's study.

When I arrived at the back office, I saw the happy appearance of the Hua family, Xiaoshizi was waiting by the side, and the two seemed to be chatting.

Hua Chu'er was facing Xiaoshizi, which can be described as a mother, and she really thought that they were mother and son without knowing it.

Zhang Changxiu knew that Hua was just sending affection to Xiaoshizi, and his eyes noticed that she was caressing her stomach from time to time unintentionally, and a sense of pity arose.

"What are you talking about? So happy? Zhang Changxiu showed a gentle smile, lifted his official robe, and walked in.

Seeing this, Xiao Shizi hurriedly moved away from Hua Chu'er, stood with Ruyu, and saluted respectfully.

Hua Chu'er also smiled, stood up on the table, and took two steps forward to salute, but was stopped by Zhang Changxiu, and was led back by him instead.

"The body is just right, so don't move." Zhang Changxiu persuaded very considerately, glanced at the pile of things on the table, and said with a smile, "What, did you go shopping today?" ”

Hua Chu'er smiled coquettishly: "Yes, after the husband is gone today, the concubine is also bored." Thinking that his body was almost stiff, and the husband didn't eat early, so he sent some porridge and went shopping by the way. ”

"For the sake of your husband, are you here to go shopping, and by the way, bring porridge to your husband?"

Zhang Changxiu pretended to be disgusted, his face was absolutely warm, and he couldn't wait to reach out and open the food box first.

"After you walked around like this, the porridge must have been cold."

"What's the matter, the concubine is thinking about her husband and came in a hurry." Hua Chu'er said coquettishly, and took out the porridge jar from the food box in one step first.

Zhang Changxiu was deprived of the opportunity by her to help, so he sat on the seat and waited for her to put the porridge in front of her.

Just a simple bowl of lean porridge.

"Ahem."

When Zhang Changxiu smelled the smell, he suddenly felt pungent and couldn't help coughing. The cough could not be stopped, followed by two more sounds.

The cough is mild, like the first symptom of a chill.

Hua Chu'er's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly put down the porridge, patting his back worriedly, her face full of worry.

"Husband, but you've caught a cold for the past two days?"

"Presumably so."

Zhang Changxiu lifted her away, looking at her frightened appearance, he was about to mistakenly think that he was dying.

"Don't worry, I'll wear more clothes tomorrow. These two days are the time when the cold and warm are unpredictable, and this happens every year, so pay more attention. ”

Hua Chu'er sat down uneasily, and quietly stretched out her hand to count the days, as if she had calculated something strange, and her face was extremely ugly.

Today is the 25th of February.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Changxiu saw that she was depressed, so he stroked her forehead with his hand and found that there was nothing abnormal, "It's okay." ”

Hua Chu'er collected her attention, smiled shallowly at Zhang Changxiu, beautiful as a pear blossom, and nodded with confidence.

"Fu Junji is a natural person, and he will definitely live a long life."

Zhang Changxiu couldn't cry or laugh: "Then thank Chu'er Jiyan, okay, this porridge is almost cold, and if you don't drink it, you really can't drink it." ”

"Let's take it and make it hot." Hua Chu'er wanted to snatch it from him, but was blocked back by Zhang Changxiu.

"It doesn't matter."

Hua Chu'er insisted, and took it back from his mouth.

"My husband already has a cold, and if I drink it again, it will aggravate my condition. Don't let the porridge made by the concubine become a poison that harms the husband. ”

Zhang Changxiu leaned on her, took her hand solemnly, looked at her eyes very seriously, and his eyes were affectionate: "It's poison, and I have no regrets for my husband." ”

"Phew, bah, bah." Hua Chu'er hammered his shoulder, "Don't say such bad things. A concubine will not harm her husband. ”

Zhang Changxiu smiled heartily: "For the husband's letter." ”

……

On the streets of the thirteen counties, a man in red sat on a horse with a little girl in a tender yellow skirt in his arms, and walked slowly forward, which was very eye-catching.

Everyone consciously avoided the way, but they stood on both sides and whispered.

"Alas, isn't that King Huai?"

"No, who is that little girl?"

"Isn't it King Huai's daughter?"

"What nonsense? King Huai doesn't have a princess, he doesn't even have a side concubine, where are the children? ”

"That's an illegitimate daughter. King Huai is nostalgic for the land of fireworks every day, and it is not uncommon to have a wild girl. ”

“……”

There was a lot of gossip on both sides of the road, and the two of them were immediately at ease.

The little hawthorn nestled excitedly in the arms of King Huai, holding the reins in his hand, and his big eyes were not working.

"This is my first time riding a horse, thank you King Huai!"

Seeing that the little girl was so happy, King Huai was also happy.

"How's it for the first time riding a horse?"

"I don't know what to say." The little hawthorn has grasped the reins of the horse and the belt of the king, ready to gallop at any time.

However, it was like something was pressed on his side, hard. The little hawthorn twisted, ready to reach for the thing to pull it out.

When King Huai saw her strange appearance, he didn't stop her, and with an itch on his waist, he watched her pull out the jade plaque hidden in her robe.

"It turned out to be King Huai's jade plate, and I was embarrassed."

Little Hawthorn smirked. Pulling the braided rope of the jade plate, he looked around on King Huai's body, and planned to stuff the jade plate into his arms.

He was about to tear open the hem of his shirt and put his little paws inside. King Huai grabbed her little hand in advance and let her hold the jade plate tightly.

"Take it well, and give it to me when you get off the horse." King Huai smiled dotingly, raised his eyebrows, and said half-threateningly, "But if you hold it tightly, if you fall and break it, or if you lose it, you can't afford to pay for it." ”

The little hawthorn hurriedly held the jade card with both hands, as if he was performing some important task, and held the jade card nervously: "I will definitely hold it well." ”

"Okay."

King Huai looked at her little cutie, and hugged her like a cat.

I suddenly thought that maybe it would be a good idea to raise a girl as soon as possible.

When the time comes, holding his daughter, riding a horse to hunt and break into the world, how unbridled and chic.

This matter will be ready to be implemented when I return to Guidu.

"One, two, three......"

The soft and glutinous voice spat out from the mouth of the little hawthorn, low and extremely serious.

Huai Wang but smiled silently.

“…… Six, seven, eight, eight dragons? Little Hawthorn scratched her head in confusion.

King Huai pinched her baby fat: "You count again, how much." ”

The little hawthorn raised his eyes, his black and white eyes were full of doubts, and he lowered his head again, and his little finger carefully traced the lines of the jade plate, and counted them again.

"One, two, three......"

The sound of counting is like the tinkling of spring water, knocking on the heart.

The great cause of counting the little hawthorns was carried out until they reached the Eight Returns to Fast.

"Have you counted clearly?"

King Huai's chin pressed on the little hawthorn's head, and he lowered his eyes to look at the few dragons she was still counting the jade plates, crying and laughing for a while, but he had to be pampered.

The little hawthorn was pressed, and he could only shake his head slightly, and said dejectedly: "I can't count." ”

"Forget it, we're here. Hold on to this king. ”

The little hawthorn immediately grabbed the jade plaque and hugged the waist of King Huai tightly.

In the blink of an eye, her body shook, and King Huai had already fallen to the ground with her in her arms. As was the case when getting on the horse.

Little Hawthorn looked at him with disdain.

King Huai placed her on the ground, took the jade plaque from her hand, and hung it on his waist again.

When he turned his head, he saw Chang Le leaning on the door frame with a playful face, his hands wrapped around his chest.

Ten miles towards the king of the blessed body, very consciously led the horse through the back door, led to the stable.

"We thought that the little hawthorn was abducted, so they pulled me up early in the morning and asked me to go out to find the little hawthorn. It turned out that King Huai was abducted. ”

Chang Le was very resentful.

She was supposed to come back late after going to Hualou last night, and wanted to sleep lazily the next day, but she was pulled up by Shili.

Ten miles to say, usually at this time, the little hawthorn has already come. The two of them hurriedly packed up their doors, preparing to find the yamen along the way.

Chang Le's sleepy eyes were worried, and when he saw that the little hawthorn was fine, he was so lax that he couldn't help yawning.
