The morning sun is soft and warm, and the tutu has bloomed to the end, and the flowers in the garden are withering, and the greenery is faint. There are always flowers and yellow leaves in the morning, and the footsteps of autumn are getting closer and closer.

Wang Yanshu has been coming to the Hou Mansion for a whole month.

He stepped on the sunlight to open the door of the study, and when he looked up, sure enough, the small figure was already seated at the desk. Hearing him coming, Yun Zhao turned around and smiled brightly: "Sir." ”

She obediently stood up and saluted: "Good morning, sir." ”

"Why is it so early. Don't get more sleep? ”

"I dreamed that my father scolded me for not studying hard, so I wanted to come early and read more books." What she said was light and light, and she smashed on Wang Yanshu's heart. This kid is always distressing.

He grabbed Yun Zhao's hand: "Let's go, let's not learn scriptures and history today." ”

"So what to study?"

The carriage of the Hou Mansion was parked in the suburban horse farm, and Yun Zhao spied curiously left and right. Wang Yanshu hugged her down.

"Sir, who can ride a horse?"

"I'm not good at riding." He smiled.

Yun Zhao liked his humility.

She was small and could only ride a pony, Wang Yanshu held the reins for her, walked in front and led the horse around the golden horse farm.

Yun Zhao sat on horseback, giggling as he bumped and fell.

Looking back and seeing her smile like a flower, Wang Yanshu also slightly hooked the corners of his lips and said to her: "Zhao'er, in this world, not only reading is beneficial, nor is everything to be in line with people's eyes. ”

Yun Zhao frowned, not quite understanding. Wang Yanshu smiled: "You are still young, even if you have to take care of your studies, you should be as you are now, and always be happy." ”

She nodded heavily: "Yes! ”‘

Someone rode a horse behind them, and Wang Yanshu leaned to the side with the reins. But the three men who came on horseback stopped before them. In the middle of the pony was a girl, two teenagers on the left and right, about eleven or twelve years old.

"Heh, isn't this the evil star of the Marquis of Ronglai's mansion?" The young man on the white horse was wearing a round-necked robe of pine and cypress green, with a jade belt tied at the narrow cuffs, and his face was broad and his eyes were thin, and he smiled maliciously at this time.

Yun Zhao sat stiffly on his horse, his gaze not knowing where to fall.

The blue-robed young man on one side said, "Brother Li Nian, Mo Hu said." ”

Wang Yanshu walked to the front, blocked Yun Zhao with his back, and said to Zhu Linian with a cold face: "Please be cautious." ”

Zhu Linian sneered coldly and didn't take him seriously. Yun Zhao's hand rested lightly on his shoulder. She vaguely understands that those adults and gentlemen can handle it, and they take care of each other's faces. But the child is always unscrupulous.

The girl in the middle turned her head and asked, "Second brother, is she Yun Zhao?" ”

"Not really."

The girl's eagle-like eyes stared at Yun Zhao: "A-Niang's vision is really bad, such a person deserves to play with me?" ”

Zhu Linian laughed uncontrollably. Yun Zhao clenched his hands, his eyes red.

"Where is this evil star worthy of my sister, Brother Sheng Huai, look at how beautiful she looks, why don't you marry her back and be a child daughter-in-law?"

Wan Shenghuai frowned, not daring to answer. Zhu Linian glared at him, looking down on his timidity.

Wang Yanshu was furious, and his face turned a little red: "Shut up!" Zhu Gongzi, this is really not a gentleman's doing. The county lord has a noble status and cannot be bullied. ”

"What can you do to me if I bully her?" Zhu Linian rolled his eyes, "Her county lord is just a name, do you know who I am?" My family..."

"No matter what your family background is," Wang Yanshu said in a loud voice, "whether you are rich or powerful, you are nothing more than a fly at this moment." ”

"You minion, you dare to scold me!" Zhu Linian raised the whip in his hand and swung it at him, Wang Yanshu didn't hide, if he dodged and startled the horse, he was afraid that he would hurt Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao, who was sitting on the horse, burst into tears because of his love.

She threw the reins in her hand towards the man's horse's buttocks, and the horse was frightened, neighing and jumping and running away, and Zhu Linian howled. The whip gently swept over Wang Yanshu's placket, if it weren't for that, he would definitely be whipped to pieces.

"Second brother!" Zhu Xin glared at them hatefully and chased them out. Wan Shenghuai arched his hand at them: "Brother Linian is offended, please forgive me." After that, he chased after him.

Wang Yanshu looked back and saw Yun Zhao bowing his head like a child who had done something wrong, and he smiled: "Zhao'er did a good job." ”

She looked up in surprise, she thought she was going to be criticized.

"Zhao'er, it's not your fault that your parents died young. After you are a famous family, if someone talks about you and the Hou Mansion in the future, you should hold your head high and tell them that the lintel of the Yun family is noble and cannot be bullied, and the Yun family A Zhao is noble and cannot be bullied, and you must defend your dignity. ”

Those were words that had been remembered in Yun Zhao's heart for a long, long time. At that time, the young man was the same, standing tall. Mr. He's silhouette under the warm sun was covered with a layer of golden light, and his words cleansed Yun Zhao's heart.

Since the death of his father, even in the Hou Mansion, it is inevitable that there will be gossip behind it, let alone the huge Handan City. Some people say that she killed her parents in her life, and some people say that the defeat of the Hou Mansion has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no possibility for the Yun family to turn over.

There are all kinds of words, they pity her, and they are watching her jokes. What about the noble concubines of the Hou Mansion? The same is a spring flower that falls into the sludge.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two months since Mr. came to the house, and Yun Zhao's smile gradually increased, although she would still be in a daze at the ancestral hall, but the figure that had been guarding the door always made the fifth child feel that everything was getting better.

Mama Su has a lot of complaints about this gentleman, but the fifth child likes him very much. The little master laughed and put his arm on the swing again, what a good thing it was.

When Taishi Zhou came in, he saw such a scene. Under the golden ginkgo tree, the ground is full of yellow. Lao Wu was dressed in a black robe, a rare smile appeared on his grim face, he was half-arched, raising his right arm, and on his arm were two white and tender little hands, on which his big hands were covered.

Yun Zhao hung on his arm, swaying back and forth with the swing of his arm, laughing like a silver bell.

Wang Yanshu sat at the low table next to him and drank tea, his face was warm and gentle.

Seeing him come in, Wang Yanshu stood up, and Yun Zhao jumped down and ran towards him.

"Awen!"

"Master Zhou."

Taishi Zhou picked up Yun Zhao and pinched her red face.

"Zhao'er has gained some weight."

Yun Zhao smirked and rubbed his face affectionately.

"Aweng, will you accompany me to dinner today?"

"Okay." Master Zhou smiled, "But I'm here today, and there is one more important matter." ”

Yun Zhao didn't know why, and looked at him.

"Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Your Majesty specially asked me to send a post to you, a little girl."

Yun Zhao turned his head to look at Wang Yanshu, he stepped forward and frowned slightly: "Taishi, the county lord is still young......

"Don't worry, there is an old man here, and she won't be bullied."

Wang Yanshu bowed and bowed: "There is Master Lao." ”

Yun Zhao was wearing a red jacket, two pigtails, and a round face with big eyes, like a doll in a New Year's painting. She sat nervously in the carriage, her fingers curled together.

Mrs. Zhou patted her back comfortingly.

"Zhao'er, don't be afraid."

She raised her head and showed a stubborn look: "I'm not afraid." ”

The night was dark, and the palace walls were deep. The carriage stopped outside the Yong'an Gate, and the Taishi led Yun Zhao into the imperial city.

The officials who came with him all greeted him politely, and their eyes were busy looking at the little child.

The Master picked her up and talked to her.

"Zhao'er, the day after tomorrow, Ah Weng will leave Beijing to take up his post in Chuzhou."

Unexpectedly, she didn't panic, just hugged his neck and whispered, "Sir told me." Ah Weng, I can't bear you. ”

Master Zhou sighed: "Yanshu is a careful child, and I am relieved to have him take care of you." ”

"Good boy, Aung will miss you too. You are alone in the capital, you must be fine. ”

"Don't worry, I will."

She kissed Taishi Zhou's face and showed an innocent smile: "Ah Weng, can I go to Chuzhou to find you?" ”

"Absolutely." Taishi Zhou laughed and touched her head, "When you are older and stronger, you will come to Chuzhou to find me." ”

"Good!"

Taishi Zhou was naturally the chief of the throne, and Yun Zhao sat around with the princes and princesses. The table is full of children who are not big or small, and the eldest fifth prince is only ten years old, most of them are about the same age as her, and they are naturally much more comfortable eating, drinking and having fun.

Yun Zhao is not an unruly child, and the gentleman and the master have repeatedly instructed him not to mess around in the palace. She was clumsy and quiet, and only bowed her head to eat her own food. But even so, no matter how respectful she is, she can't resist the cold arrows in this world.

"I heard that Rong Laihou is personable and is a hero, why is his daughter like a quail."

This sentence caused a table of dolls to laugh. Yun Zhao glanced up, and it was the Fifth Prince who was sitting opposite her, dressed in brocade clothes, who spoke.

She pursed her lips and clenched her little hands into fists.

The person sitting next to her said loudly when he heard this: "How can the Fifth Emperor Brother bully a little girl like this? He seemed distressed. Yun Zhao turned his head to look over, he was born beautifully, and his bright eyes were full of smiles.

The fifth prince looked at his brother angrily, and was quite dissatisfied with his half-smiling appearance: "Ji Xingyan, you are against me!" ”

Ji Xingyan blinked innocently: "Fifth brother, I'm just telling the truth." ”

The fifth prince gritted his teeth, and the emperor over there said the congratulatory speech, and his voice was loud. He suppressed his temper, glared at Ji Xing and said, "You wait for me." ”

Ji Xingyan showed a flattering smile, and the fifth prince sneered coldly, don't open his eyes.

He turned his head to see Yun Zhao's small face. Yun Zhao said, "Thank you. ”

He was the first outside the Hou Mansion and was willing to stand up for her.

He grinned and showed a row of white teeth, with two black holes missing in between: "You're welcome. ”

The dolls dispersed early, and the children went to the canal to put lanterns. Yun Zhao ran after them for a while, but no one took her to play, and she was alone and incompatible with the laughter, so she was deflated and turned to walk in the woods.

There were several shadows in the woods, and one man was lying. They punched and kicked, and they were vicious.

When he approached Yun Zhao, he saw clearly through the moonlight that it was the princes on the table who beat people, and it was Ji Xingyan who was beaten.

"Your Majesty! Dead people in the fight! She didn't know where she had the guts to scream. Xu is those people were weak-hearted, so they ran away without looking, leaving Ji Xingyan to stand up crookedly.

They looked at each other and smiled.

Ji Xingyan's blue nose and swollen face looked a little funny, but he smiled beautifully and warmly.
