Chapter Eleven: Refugees?

The next day, just after Chen, Zhao Yu woke up from his sleep.

Waiting for him to open his eyes, he slowly sat up from the bed. Before he could stretch, a sweet and crisp greeting from the quiet girl came from the bed: "Young Master, are you awake?"

This cold greeting interrupted Zhao Yu's subconscious movement of stretching his waist, making him shudder.

He turned his head subconsciously, but saw the quiet girl sitting on a small stool beside the wooden table in the inner room

It seemed that Jingnv also realized that her sudden greetings scared the little master in front of her. She was covering her mouth with both hands and looking at Zhao Yu pitifully with her bright eyes, as if she was afraid of being scolded.

To be honest, he was startled when he woke up. Even a good-tempered person could not help but get angry. But at this moment, Zhao Yu looked at Jingnu's cute and terrified, so he responded with a smile: "Ah, wake up. Jingnu, what are you sitting here... doing?"

Seeing that the young master did not scold him, Jingnv's eyes, which were still fearful, suddenly turned into a crescent shape. She explained seriously: "When the young master wakes up. Yesterday, when the young master woke up, Jingnv was busy with her own affairs and failed to serve the young master. This is the slave's dereliction of duty. Therefore, today's slave got up early and finished everything, and then waited for the young master to wake up here... Young master, look, today's slave has already found the sister of the North Courtyard to braid her hair bun."

After hearing these thoughtful words, Zhao Yu's anger disappeared even though he was still a little angry.

"Young Master, let's wait for you today, Jingnu will wait for you to get up."

"……oh."

Looking at Jingnv's serious appearance, as if her eyes were shining brightly. Zhao Yu really couldn't refuse, and enjoyed the feeling of getting out of clothes.

Not to mention, it feels pretty good.

Under the service of Jingnu, he put on his clothes and washed up with the water that Jingnu brought to him. Zhao Yu still took Jingnu to the northern house.

Every morning, the first thing that Zhao Yu and his brother should do every day is to greet their parents and pray for their health. This is one of the filial piety in contemporary times and the first thing that Zhao Yu and his brother should do every day.

Since I am asking my parents about my wishes, there is the Marquis of Luyang Township. However, during this period, the Marquis of Luyang Township was very busy. Every day, I don’t know when I left the Marquis’ Mansion. Not to mention Zhao Yu who is still sleeping at this moment, even Zhao Yu’s brother Zhao Yin may not be able to see his father every day.

After going to the northern house with Jingnu, he spent breakfast with his mother Zhou. Zhou asked his son in a vague way: "Zhu'er, what are your plans today? Have you ever thought about continuing to listen to the class with Mr. Gongyang?"

Despite the obscure inquiry, Zhao Yu could still hear that this mother still hoped that he would learn more from Mr. Gongyang.

"Okay, I can't find anything else to do for the time being."

After thinking about it, Zhao Yu finally decided to be an obedient son for the time being.

On July 25th, the fourth day after Zhao Yu came to this house, he came to Mr. Yang's house again.

The two days ago came to attend the class. Although he came a little late, it still surprised Mr. Yang, and his tone during preaching also improved significantly.

Having said that, although Mr. Yang was very careful in teaching, Zhao Yu was not very interested in what he taught.

In other words, his heart has not calmed down yet and cannot truly be patient to listen to the teacher explaining the Confucian scriptures.

The reason why he forced himself to stay here was that except that he hadn't thought about doing things for the time being, he simply didn't want to disappoint Zhou.

Of course, there is also the father who looks like a strict father with a stern face all day long, the Marquis of Luyang Township.

He attaches great importance to this stolen family affection.

However, within three days, Zhao Yu felt bored.

The boring thing mentioned here does not refer entirely to the Confucian scholarship taught by Mr. Yang, but to the differential education that Mr. Yang treats the two brothers.

Mr. Gongyang’s teachings to the brothers mainly focus on Confucianism, and particularly emphasizes moral education in respect of parents, teachers and elder brothers and brothers are humble and respectful.

Of course, this is nothing. The key is that Mr. Gongyang is often mentioned "the elders are orderly and the young are in order" and "the father's business" from time to time, which makes Zhao Yu feel a vague illusion, as if Mr. Gongyang was deliberately teaching him these principles.

Zhao Yu was naturally not stupid. He thought of his mother Zhou's preference for him and his eagerness to speak a little bit earlier.

To put it bluntly, it is just three words: inheritance right.

Heaven and earth can be seen. Zhao Yu never thought about robbing the property of the cheap brother who was like a nerd beside him. After all, he had never obtained those in his previous life. Therefore, even if he was the second son who had no right to inherit the family wealth in this life, he didn't care at all. Although he still doesn't know how much money he had in the marquis's mansion in Luyang Township, Mr. Gongyang often used these great principles to induce him, and Zhao Yu would inevitably feel very annoyed.

Although he could understand Mr. Gongyang from Mr. Gongyang's perspective, he accepted the Shu Gongyang's Marquis and rewarded the gifts of the marquis of Luyang Township, and was responsible for teaching the two young masters of the boss. He should shoulder the responsibility of teaching the two young masters the morals so as not to get into trouble in the future, but no matter how understanding is, Mr. Gongyang's different treatment still makes Zhao Yu feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, on July 28, when Zhao Yu and Jingnu returned to the East Courtyard from the northern house, Zhao Yu went straight back to his house, laying on the edge of the bed with his hands on his pillow, never mentioning going to Mr. Gongyang's house.

Seeing this, Jingnv asked in confusion: "Will the young master not go to Mr. Gongyang's house today?"

"I won't go." Zhao Yu replied casually.

When he heard this, Jingnu was a little anxious for some reason and even stuttered a little: "Why, why, young master?"

"It's not interesting."

Zhao Yu replied with his eyes closed.

Obviously, Jingnu did not understand the true meaning of Zhao Yu's "inspirational" sentence. He heard this and persuaded anxiously: "Young Master, please ask you for your blessing. Jingnu can also listen to Mr. Gongyang's teachings with two brothers these days. I think Mr. Gongyang is a very amazing person. If the young master can listen carefully, he will definitely learn many amazing skills. Moreover, after these days, he learned that the young master Anxin was listening to Mr. Gongyang's lectures, the village marquis and his wife were also quite pleased..."

At the end of the day, she became more and more panicked as she spoke.

Perhaps she felt that if the young master in front of her "learning bad things" again, she would have an unshirkable responsibility, which made her cry almost shed.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu had no choice but to comfort him, "Miss Jing, I just want to take a break... You know that I am very unfamiliar with everything at home now. I want to know about it. Why don't you take me around the house and walk around the house... As for Mr. Gongyang's teaching, I'll go in a few days."

"Really, is it true?"

When he learned that Zhao Yu just wanted to take a break for two days to learn about this family, he would return to Mr. Gongyang's class in a few days. Jingnu's heart was slightly relaxed.

"certainly."

Zhao Yu pretended to be faithful.

However, in his heart, this "a few days" may be when.

After all, in his opinion, knowing that Mr. Gongyang valued his cheapest brother Zhao Yin more and was particularly targeted for his teachings, he thought there was no need to force him to come over.

Instead of letting him forcefully reverse his interests to cater to Mr. Gongyang, Zhao Yu felt that it would be better to do something that he was interested in or do something for this family.

Of course, first of all, he is only a child about ten years old. Some things are not easy to do too out of order, so as not to say anything else in the mansion.

In fact, Zhao Yu was not worried about the rumors. What he was worried about was whether these rumors would affect the views and attitudes of the couple in the Luyang Township Houston, and that's all.

On that day, Zhao Yu, led by Jingnu, strolled around the Marquis' Mansion in Luyang Township.

The courtyard of the Hou Mansion in Luyang Township can be roughly divided into four parts: front, back, west and east.

According to Jingnv, the front yard was basically the servants, guards and their families living in the mansion. These people basically only followed the instructions of the Hou and his wife in Luyang Township; the east yard was the residence of the two brothers, and the servants and guards living here were basically taking care of the two brothers.

The backyard, that is, the northern house, is the residence of the Hou of Luyang Township and his wife Zhou, including some maids who serve the couple; the remaining western courtyard is basically vacant and only used as guests.

Between the front yard and the back yard, there is a very particular hall building, which is the top priority in the mansion. The ancestral tablets of the Zhao clan of Luyang have been enshrined on the east side, and the warehouses in the mansion are set on the west side. The Marquis of Luyang Township used to entertain guests in the main hall of the palace. In short, this is a forbidden area for idle people to enter, and many guards from the mansion patrol here every day.

At first glance, it seems that the Marquis Mansion in Luyang Township is quite rich, no worse than some aristocratic families in Zhao Yu's impression.

It is indeed worthy of praise, after all, it is the Housing Mansion!

While wandering around, you will inevitably encounter servants and guards in the mansion. Some of them will inevitably point fingers behind their backs and whisper in a low voice when they see Zhao Yu.

It seems that the witch a few days ago failed to completely stop the private discussions on Zhao Yu in the mansion.

Jingnv felt very angry about these things and bulged her face. If Zhao Yu hadn't stopped her, she might have rushed over to argue with those people.

However, Zhao Yu didn't care about this. After all, although those people were servants or guards in the mansion, they had no negotiations with him, so he certainly wouldn't care about the other party's views.

The only people he really cares about is just a few people.

It is worth mentioning that after a walk around, Jingnu also asked Zhao Yu about gains and losses, and asked what Zhao Yu had ever remembered.

This cute little girl is destined to be disappointed.

As dusk approached, Zhao Yu and Jingnu came to the northern house to prepare for the family to have meals.

Before the meal, Zhou secretly summoned his youngest son Zhao Yu to the front and asked gently, "Zhu'er, I heard that you have never been to Mr. Gongyang's house to study today, why?"

Zhao Yu was not the gossip behind his back, so he said embarrassedly when he heard this: "Mom, I thought I could calm down and ask Mr. Gongyang for advice. I never thought that the child would overestimate himself..."

This statement, coupled with Zhao Yu's head-scratch, made Zhou laugh. She pointed Zhao Yu's forehead with her fingers and said with a smile: "You kid, you have only been a few days, and your old temperament has been offended again..."

Zhao Yu said embarrassedly: "Mom, it's not the child who said that Mr. Yang is really bored..."

"You kid."

Zhou shook his head with a wry smile, and then asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "Well, mom, I want to learn riding a horse, and then ride my horse to the outside of the mansion to stroll... I heard from Jingnv that our family is more than twenty miles southwest is the county town, and I also want to go to the county town to see it."

"this……"

To Zhao Yu's surprise, Zhou frowned slightly after hearing this.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Zhou thought about it, frowned slightly and said to Zhao Yu, "My son wants to learn riding, so he naturally allows it for his mother, but outside the mansion... he is not stable recently."

“Unsecurity?”

"Well." Zhou nodded and said, "In the past two months, many refugees who escaped from other places have come to our Luyang County, some of whom... Alas, the county magistrate of Luyang County and your father are having a headache about this."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was suddenly stunned.
