One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 17
During the meeting with Ayu's family, Uncle Ji's words seemed to slap the little master in the face.One of them promised to vent his anger on Ayu, and the other immediately explained and pretended.

The little princess is not used to it, or is it too young to be able to hear it?

In the eyes of outsiders, Uncle Ji is suspected of being a slave and deceiving the master.Niu Ping is a farmer with little experience, but he is not stupid.After leaving the general's mansion and getting into his flat donkey cart, he expressed his doubts to his wife and mother-in-law.

After hearing this, the mother and daughter smiled indifferently, and Ayu told him:

"It's always been like this in the mansion. The princess is young. Although she is smart and inexperienced, she doesn't think carefully about issues. The general asked her to listen to Ji's management."

That's it, Niu Ping suddenly nodded.

"Remember, both of you," Ayu's mother interjected, "we will rot in our stomachs about the affairs of the nobles, and we must never try to cling to the powerful. When gods fight, mortals suffer. In the eyes of the nobles, even we Worse than ants.

Today, the host's family is full of the friendship between the host and the guest. You two will live in peace from now on. Don't mention the past to others, so as not to suffer disaster. "

"Yes, Auntie."

Next, the young couple enthusiastically discussed their future living arrangements, and drove a donkey cart to the market to look at the shops.

……

After sending Ayu's family away, Yuan Zhao looked at the empty courtyard on the corridor, holding the jade ring presented by Ayu in his hand, as if lost.Since leaving the palace, no one has given her anything other than gifts from her family.

Ayu was the first one, and I was a little touched.

Hey, father and third brother, Luo Yan and others were missing in the lively mansion in the past, and Ayu's mother and daughter had also left, so it became much deserted in an instant.

He lowered his head and took a look at the piece of jade ring in his hand, the texture was average, the carving skills were rough, but the lines were polished smooth, so he was not afraid of scratching his hands when playing with it.Given Ayu's family background, it was really not easy to find such a piece of jade, and it was hard for her.

"Princess, it's time to go back to Mo Academy to copy books." Uncle Ji next to him urged, "Weishi is about to listen to Daoist Gongzhi's lecture, and the time is short, so there is no delay."

Knowing that there was a visitor this morning, Mr. Wu allowed her to rest for half a day, and only assigned her the homework of copying books.Obviously, it was intentional to let the water go, so that the students would take the opportunity to be lazy.As for himself, he went to a chess club in the market to find someone to play chess.

The student is smart, and he is a relaxed and comfortable gentleman.

The time is not right, which is equivalent to the so-called 14:00 pm in the dream.Yuan Zhao looked up at the sky outside the eaves of the corridor, um, the sky is clear, the clouds are light and the wind is light, it is a good weather for copying books.

"Uncle Ji, did my father ask you to find Xiu Niang?" She played with Yu Lianhuan and asked casually.

"Subordinates are looking for," Ji Wu said truthfully, "Master Hou asked to find embroiderers with excellent embroidery skills, but in small places like Nanzhou, there are many embroiderers, but there are not many good ones, so I'm afraid it will take some work."

Haha, Xiao Yuanzhao, with a serious expression, instantly changed his face, looking back and smiling at him:
"Father is right, we must find the best ones! The embroidery skills are not inferior to the embroiderers in the capital, so that I won't be laughed at when I go back to the capital!"

Each place has its own customs, no matter how good the embroiderers in Nanzhou City are, if the creativity and style are different from the habits of the people in the capital, it is not good.

Such an embroiderer needs to go back to the capital to find the most suitable one.

Hey, it can be delayed for a while.

"Promise." Ji Wu responded with a funny face, "If the Princess is relieved, please return to the ink academy to copy books and practice calligraphy, and my subordinates will send you some melon and fruit snacks to relieve your boredom."

"Okay, add a pot of iced milk tea." There are small balls, and she and the cook are researching to make them with lotus root starch and glutinous rice flour.Yuan Zhao patted the non-existent dust on the clothes with his small hand, he turned around refreshed and was about to leave, when he turned back suddenly,
"By the way, what about Luo Yan and the others? Where's Xiong?"

Hey, the little ancestor is still thinking about it, Ji Wu replied with his usual expression:

"Guards Luo and the others participated in bear hunting a few days ago. They were not good at learning and got injured. They have returned to the guard camp for retraining."

As for the bear, two were indeed hunted, one was given to the three rangers to take back to Yansai City to receive a reward, and the other was returned to the General's Mansion.Find someone to deal with that tiger together, and send the meat and fur back to the capital to dedicate to the Holy One in the future.

Luo Yan and the others were young, so it was unavoidable that they would be injured when they first fought against a beast, so it is not worth mentioning.

"Is there no one dead?" Yuan Zhao asked concerned.

"not dead."

One of the teenagers was seriously injured and almost died. Fortunately, Luo Yan and Wu Xi blocked him, and Wu Xi was slightly injured.

The rest of the people were all down, with varying degrees of severity.

None of the adult guards were injured or injured, and the three rangers were also killed. They were not serious, and quickly ran back to Yansai to call for someone to carry the bear back to parade through the streets.

The land of Yanshu is vast, the population is not large, and the cultivated land is not developed much.

There are deep mountains and dense forests everywhere, and wild animals often appear to harm nearby residents and ruin crops.Although Nanzhou and Yansai are adjacent to them, they have a large population, and most of the things that intrude on the crops are wild animals such as wolves, wild boars, and weasels.

But there are very few bears and tigers. For some reason, three ferocious beasts appeared near the city and village recently.

Today, everyone in the two cities is in danger. It is reported that the officials of Yansai and Nanzhou are actively recruiting rangers and sending them and officers and soldiers into the mountains in batches to search.Come back and forth to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, and drive those ferocious beasts back to Yanshu.

"They didn't look for my general's mansion?" Yuan Zhao looked surprised, he couldn't see Mount Tai!
Ah, where is Mount Tai?Oh, in a dream, but unspoken.

"The Nanzhou government has discussed this matter with its subordinates." The other party did not want to disturb the garrison, so he begged Lord Hou to send his own soldiers to help, "The garrison cannot be moved unless foreign enemies invade or calm chaos. The personal soldiers are responsible for protecting the general's mansion and will not participate in the government's actions. "

To avoid being charged with the crime of gathering together people, collecting scattered soldiers, and waiting for an opportunity to rebel.

No, before the guard Lie Xiong entered the mountain quietly, without fanfare, without notifying the government of the two places, in order to clear up the suspicion.

Ji Wu never hides such important matters from the little princess.As a child of Lord Hou's family, innocence is not allowed.

"Princess, Yanshu, Yansai, and Nanzhou are not peaceful recently. Lord Hou and Mr. Li can't be distracted, so you don't sneak out anymore." Ji Wu earnestly persuaded, even using threats, " Unless you're in a hurry..."

free?It doesn't matter, I will find the embroiderer right away.

"...I didn't say I was free." Really, Yuan Zhao glanced at him in disgust, "When did I sneak away? I sneaked out openly..."

While muttering, with his hands behind his back, as old-fashioned as Mr. Wu, he stepped into the ink academy used for teaching to do homework.

Ji Wu was left standing there, sighed helplessly, and told the soldiers at various positions in the mansion to be careful.Especially staring at the Moyuan, ah no, any courtyard where the little master haunts must be watched closely by him!

Don't worry, there is no dog hole in the mansion, the population is simple, and it is clear at a glance if they are hiding on the roof.

In the past few days, Yuan Zhao has been staying in the mansion peacefully.

Ji Wu was still worried, and arranged for her to have two adult female guards squatting in the courtyard day and night, never leaving her.It doesn't matter, she walks upright and sits upright, so why should she be afraid of being followed by others, always inseparable?
Since she can't go out, whenever she has free time, she and Mr. Wu will toss and eat in the mansion, researching new recipes.

As for Master Zhigong, except for class hours, there is usually no one to see.
