The following text

After dinner that night, the Marquis of Luyang Township went to his own study and called Zhang Chun, the head of the mansion in the mansion, and Cao Ju, the chief of the mansion in the mansion, to give a rough idea of ​​the problem of the Marquis of a foreign country that could allocate money and food and manpower. His wife Zhou took Zhao Yu and Jingnv to ask about the story on the way to Ruyang.

Regarding whether the Zhou family has achieved the goal when it is traveling to the counties in Rushui, the Marquis of Luyang Township and Zhao Yu and his son have achieved their goals during this trip. However, it is undeniable that she cares more about the relationship between the father and son during this trip. After all, her husband has always had prejudice against his youngest son in the past, and she is even more doting on her youngest son and hopes to reverse her husband's view.

But unexpectedly, with Jingnv's opening remark, "The Young Master is so amazing", Zhou learned a lot of interesting things from her.

For example, on the way to Ruyang, Zhao Yu and Luyang County Magistrate Liu Ying played a game in the carriage, which was a step-by-step guide to the county magistrate Liu how to convince the county magistrate of Rushui counties. What's more interesting is that Zhou learned at this time that Liu Ying and the Marquis of Luyang Township went to Rushui counties for help this time, which was actually the suggestion put forward by the youngest son Zhao Yu.

In addition to being surprised, Zhou hugged Zhao Yu in his arms again. Not only did he rub his youngest cheek intimately, he also kissed Zhao Yu's forehead, making Zhao Yu feel embarrassed while feeling strong mother.

Beside, Jingnu looked at the mother and son in front of her with envious eyes, and asked in surprise: "Don't the lady know about this?"

Zhou pursed his lips and chuckled, "I really don't know about this."

As she said that, her eyes drifted a little, and then the curve of the corners of her mouth became more obvious.

After the Xu hour, Zhou sent Zhao Yu and Jingnu back to their house to rest, while she came to the bedroom and quietly waited for her husband.

Around the second hour of Xu, the Marquis of Luyang Township came to the couple's bedroom. When he entered the house, he saw his wife sitting in the house, so he subconsciously asked, "Have you stopped yet?"

"Waiting for your husband." Zhou stood up and gently took off her husband's coat: "Why is it so late?"

"I talked with Zhang Chun and Cao Ju for a while."

While taking off his coat with the help of Zhou, the Hou of Luyang Township explained: "This time I successfully convinced the counties of Rushui. I, Luyang, can finally implement labor-for-relief. However, considering that there are thousands of refugees in the country, once the canal is digging, the daily food consumption is huge. In order to avoid the extracurricular problems, I have to learn from Zhang Chun and Cao Ju about the amount of existing grain in our family, as an emergency need... If there is insufficient food in the future, I may still get Ye County and Yancheng think of ways to see if I can buy some food from those counties."

Hearing this, Zhou asked in confusion: "What? My husband is afraid that the food provided by the counties in Rushui is not enough?"

"Just prepare for the future."

The Hou of Luyang Township explained with a serious expression: "You must know that once my Luyang County starts to implement labor-for-relief, maybe more refugees will flow into our county. You also know that Ye County, Yancheng, and those counties troubled by refugees in the east are unwilling to accept refugees. In this case, if we open an opening in Luyang County, we will naturally more and more refugees will flow into our county. If we don't prepare in advance, we may be unable to cope."

"So that's it." Zhou suddenly realized and stroked her husband's chest and praised: "It's still my husband who has a vision."

"snort."

The Hou of Luyang Township snorted lightly and enjoyed his praise for his wife.

Suddenly, Zhou, who was buried in the arms of the Marquis of Luyang Township, smiled slightly, and showed a bit of malicious smile on her face. She asked, "By the way, this time I went out with my husband, have you ever helped me?"

The Marquis of Luyang Township, who was still very satisfied just now, was slightly stunned when he heard this and said unnaturally: "Well, um, how much, how much, how much, did you help?"

"Oh?" Zhou, who was in his arms, raised his head and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me in detail?"

“…”

The Marquis of Luyang Township stared at the smile on Zhou's face for some reason. He was so familiar with his beloved wife's smile that he had been teased a lot in the past.

He quietly pushed his wife away, Gu Zuoyan said, "It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow, by the way, where are you?"

Looking at her husband's guilty look, Zhou held back his smile and said, "I sent him back to the house to rest... Speaking of which, looking at my husband's attitude towards me today, it seems that he has greatly improved his views on me. I can't talk to me, I really want to hear it."

The Marquis of Luyang Township was standing beside the bed, facing his back to Zhou, and turned his back to take off his clothes. Hearing this, he turned around and asked, "What did you tell you?"

Seeing her husband turn his head slightly and glance at him, Zhou held back his smile and shook his head and said, "Zhu'er didn't say anything, but he was a little regretful that his husband had never taken him to the streets of Ruyang County..."

After a pause, just as the Marquis of Luyang Township was a little relieved, she added: "However, Jingnu told me a lot of interesting things."

The Marquis of Luyang Township immediately raised his heart and asked indifferently: "What did Jingnu say?"

Zhou deliberately stared at the Marquis of Luyang Township for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Of course I am complimenting Yu'er, and the child also likes Yu'er very much... Jingnu told me that Yu'er had made many useful suggestions to County Magistrate Liu on the way."

"oh……"

The Marquis of Luyang Township was a little suspicious, but he did not dare to ask too much, so as not to reveal flaws. After all, a few days ago, because he was too praised by his wife, he did not explain to Zhou that it was actually Zhao Yu, the youngest son of the couple, who solved the money and food problem needed to implement labor-for-relief for him.

Looking back today, he secretly scolded himself for being confused: Isn’t this a handle that can tease him by his beloved wife again?

As Zhao Yu thought, Zhou was not exactly what outsiders thought was dignified and virtuous in front of his relatives, especially in front of his husband...

"It's roughly...it's basically true, I'm really a little smart."

He said vaguely.

Hearing this, Zhou's face showed a narrow smile that made the Marquis of Luyang Township quite familiar: "What... what about... compared to when his husband was young?"

After many years of couples, the Marquis of Luyang Township could not see that his wife was deliberately teasing him, but he did not want to admit that I was not as good as his son, so he forced himself to defend himself: "Although I did make some contributions to going out this time, I am still... a little short of what I was... when I was young."

As he said that, without waiting for Zhou, who was smiling, to speak, coughing and saying, "Okay, it's getting late, let's take a break first. I will go to the county town to discuss the specific excavation location of the canal with Liu Gong tomorrow."

"Let's keep this fun for now."

Zhou's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "I will obey my order."

The next morning, Zhao Yu got up early. After washing up, he took Jingniao to the northern house.

Yesterday, when the father and son were bathing together, he heard from the Marquis of Luyang Township that the latter is going to the county town to discuss the specific excavation location of the "Jinggong Canal" with the county magistrate Liu Ying.

Thinking about it, it is important to know that this matter itself is related to interests. Who doesn’t want a canal to pass by next to your own fields?

It is not difficult to guess that after the Liu County Magistrate released the news today, the villages on the northwest side of the county town of Luyang County will be sent to make a request, hoping that the excavated canals can pass through their villages, and there will inevitably be a dispute or even a profit transaction.

However, Zhao Yu didn't care much about the interest transactions in this matter. After all, the fields of the Hou Mansion in Luyang Township are basically in the east of the county, where there were sand rivers flowing there. He just hoped that labor-for-relief could be implemented as soon as possible so that the refugees pouring into the country could get a stable source of food.

He has not forgotten the woman with two children that day, although he has not seen the woman again in recent days and has no idea whereabouts.

On the way to the northern house with Jingniao, Zhao Yu happened to see the Marquis of Luyang Township, bringing the guard Zhang Chun and several guards coming towards him. Judging from his clothes and dressing, he seemed to be going out.

Zhao Yu went up to greet his father: "The child has met his father."

"Well." The Hou of Luyang Township nodded and was about to pass by his son.

"Don't take me?"

Zhao Yu was stunned when he saw it.

Because when he was taking a shower yesterday, he saw the Marquis of Luyang Township, and seemed to be planning to take him to the county town. Why did he suddenly change his mind today?

He quickly called out to his father: "Dad, where are you going?"

The Marquis of Luyang Township glanced at his son and said lightly: "What are you asking about this?"

After being stunned, Zhao Yu tentatively said, "Dad, are you going to the county town to discuss the river and canal matters with Liu Gong?"

"If you know, ask?" The Hou of Luyang Township replied coldly.

"What's wrong? This is so cold..."

Zhao Yu was a little confused. You should know that when the father and son went out a while ago, the father and son got along very well. I remember that after returning home yesterday, the father and son took a bath together.

Jingnu said that even Zhao Yu's brother and the eldest son of the Township Marquis' Mansion Zhao Yin had never received the treatment of bathing with his father.

But today, this father's attitude changed drastically. What's wrong?

He asked in confusion: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, the Hou of Luyang Township thought for a moment, left the others, pulled his son to the corner next to him, and asked in a deep voice: "What did you say to your mother after I came back last night?"

"I didn't say anything." Zhao Yu replied with confusion.

The Hou of Luyang Township looked at his son a few times, snorted coldly, "Okay, go to the northern house for dinner, your mother is still waiting for you!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with Zhang Chun and the others.

"You really don't take me?"

Looking at his father's departure, Zhao Yu was shocked and completely unsure of what was going on.

There was no way, so Zhao Yu could only take Jingnu to the north house first, hoping to ask the reason from his mother and see what was the reason that caused his father to refuse to let him participate in this matter again.
