The index finger habitually poked his lower lip, and Xu Jiao stared at him inquiringly.

Zhao Yin didn't leave her face with a pair of eyes since she entered the door, and when she saw her tilting her head to look at herself, she asked, "What?" I haven't seen you for some days, I don't know you? ”

Xu Jiao shook her head, and her black hair flew up with her movements: "I'm just wondering, how could the Nine Princes be so tired early in the morning?" What did you do? ”

Zhao Yin walked to the screen, took off his cloak and put it on it: "I think that when you see you, you will first ask where you have been these days, and ask the girl to fetch water for this king." ”

Xu Jiao automatically ignored his first half of the sentence and asked Ruxiang at the door to fetch a basin of hot water.

Zhao Yin took out a letter from his arms and handed it to her: "Your father wrote it for you." ”

Xu Jiao hurriedly ran over to get the letter.

Zhao Yin suddenly turned away, and she held the envelope high.

Xu Jiao paused in front of him and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhao Yin stared at the hem of her skirt: "You don't wear shoes?" ”

Xu Jiao lifted her skirt and revealed a pair of white jade-like little feet, and the little feet were shrinking back in embarrassment: "Anyway, don't go out, the weather is getting hotter, so it's cool." She said.

"The ground is wet and cold, so it will be contaminated with cold, you are a girl, your body is yin, you are the most afraid of cold, and you can't be barefoot in the future." As he spoke, he walked over to the couch and kicked her shoes at her.

Xu Jiao hurriedly put her shoes on, staring at the letter in his hand with a pair of big eyes, if she didn't know that it was a letter, Zhao Yin must have thought that she would eat what was in his hand, because Xu Jiao in front of her was just a little bit of a child.

He finally gave her the letter, Xu Jiao hurriedly tore open the envelope neatly, pulled out the letterhead inside, and looked at it seriously.

"Are you really literate? Xu Wenyang taught, right? Zhao Yin saw her reading the letter with a relaxed face, and couldn't help asking.

Xu Jiaozheng looked at it seriously, so she ignored him. Zhao Yin said again: "It is rumored that the gentleman invited by the Guogong Mansion only teaches the juniors of the big house to read and learn calligraphy, and the other rooms are all learned by themselves in the outside school, you have never even gone out of the gate of the Guogong Mansion, let alone let Mr. private tutor, it is really embarrassing for Xu Wenyang, he became a father and a mother at a young age, and he has to be a husband for you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Jiao approached him with a letter paper: "How do you pronounce this word?" ”

The corners of Zhao Yin's mouth twitched: "I can't help but praise, Xu Wenyang is nothing more than that." As she spoke, she reached over to see what she was referring to. Then he said: "Move".

Xu Jiao took back the letterhead and continued to read, after reading it, she knew that her father was going to a poor place with mountains and rivers, and her father was trying to improve the lives of the people over there.

Xu Jiao pinched the letterhead and sat on the couch with red eyes. Zhao Yin tilted his head to look at her: "What did your father tell you?" Makes you so sad. ”

Xu Jiao didn't reply to his words, but asked him: "Why is the letter my father gave me in your hands?" ”

Zhao Yin put his hands on the back of his head, leaned on the head of the bed and said: "You finally remember this stubble, my lord went to Wuyuan these days, and when I saw your father, he wrote a letter for my lord to bring back to you." ”

Xu Jiao asked again: "Is Wuyuan far away?" You seem to have been gone for a long time. ”

"Well, far away. The time spent on the road back and forth is a full month. He replied.

Xu Jiao looked at his tired face, and wanted to ask him what he was doing? What's going on with his dad over there? However, when the words came to her mouth, she didn't ask after all, she was afraid that she would be too deeply involved with him, and it would be difficult to get out in the future, after all, she didn't want to have anything to do with the royal nobles.

Then he shouted outside the door: "Why hasn't the hot water that the prince wants come yet?" ”

Rue Xiang hurriedly ran in with water outside the door, and explained: "The slave maid has been waiting outside the door, and I heard the prince and the mother talking, so I didn't dare to disturb." ”

Zhao Yin nodded and said, "Go ahead, you don't need you here." Rue Xiang respectfully exited the door and waited under the eaves.

Turning his head to see her still red eyes, Zhao Yin asked, "What did Xu Wenyang tell you?" Is there any mention of the master in the letter? ”

Xu Jiao recalled that his father didn't mention Zhao Yin in the letter, but if he told this guy that her father didn't mention him, would he be unhappy? So, Xu Jiao simply nodded and said: "Naturally, it was written about the prince, why did you say that you encountered this?" ”

"It seems that your father is also a nervous person, and he obviously told him not to tell you about the bandits, but he actually took his words as a deaf ear, no wonder he scared you like this. Don't be afraid, you haven't been scared last time, don't be scared again. Zhao Yin sat up and prepared to wash his face.

Xu Jiao knew, it turned out that Wuyuan was not only poor mountains and bad waters, but also bandits, it seems that most of Zhao Yin's disappearance this time was related to Wuyuan's banditry, but I don't know what her father's situation is? Thinking about it, she asked, "How is my father now?" ”

"No problem. The wound was on the left back shoulder, and when he set off, his wound had already scabbed. Zhao Yin said.

Xu Jiao clenched the letterhead in her hand vigorously and whispered, "That's good." Then, she sat down in front of the makeup cabinet, ready to clean up the black hair like a waterfall, however, staring at the box in a daze, she became more and more determined to make money quickly!

Zhao Yin turned around after washing her face, and found her sitting in front of the makeup cabinet in a daze, and suddenly remembered what she said before, so she said: "If you like any jewelry, you can arrange for two shopping girls to go to the market to buy it for you." ”

Xu Jiao remembered that she and Dong'er had mixed up, and said busily: "I have already arranged to buy girls." ”

"Oh? It's already arranged, so did the housekeeper do it for you? Zhao Yin asked.

Xu Jiao shook her head and said, "I gave the girl my private seal, can I use it?" ”

Zhao Yin said: "Naturally, it can be used, but it's just a little overkill, tell your girl, the housekeeper didn't buy anything for you before buying the seal, and used Zhao Ping's seal." ”

Xu Jiao nodded, and while tidying up her hair, she answered vaguely.

Zhao Yin sat back on the couch and said, "Master rest for a while, you can go for your own pastime." ”

Xu Jiao looked at her strangely: "Why are you resting in my bed?" ”

Zhao Yin had already turned his back to her and said, "A few women in the house are just a little girl like you, besides, you are the princess of the master, is there anything wrong with the master sleeping with you here?" ”

Xu Jiao was stunned, what do you mean by being a little girl? I had the heart to call him up and make it clear, thinking about the tired appearance of him just coming back, Xu Jiao didn't care, anyway, he had just come back from Wuyuan after fighting against the bandits, maybe this guy could be regarded as helping her father.

Xu Jiao really didn't think wrong this time, the reason why the imperial court sent her father to Wuyuan at this time this time was precisely because Wuyuan's bandits were in trouble when they were in short supply.

Originally, Zhao Yin was supposed to go to Wuyuan with Xu Wenyang, one was a local parent official, and the other pressed the bandits and then returned to the court, but at that time, Xu Jiao was "scared and lost her soul" by the sudden disappearance of several foreign devils, and let Zhao Yin delay in the house for a few more days, otherwise her father would not have been slashed by the bandits who stopped on the official road as soon as he took office, and then fled into the mountains to hide for a few days.
