Zhou Yuanfang has two followers. Cao Lu, fourteen years old, is a father-in-law, responsible for serving Zhou Yuanfang's food and daily life. Zhao Shizhong, sixteen years old, has great martial arts skills since childhood. He is Zhou Yuanfang's accompanying guard. No matter where Zhou Yuanfang goes, these two are on the side and are also the people Zhou Yuanfang trusts the most.

Archer is new, and Zhou Yuanfang deliberately wanted to tease him, so he deliberately ordered him to ask the maid who served Archer to bring cold water to wash his face.

In the north in early September, the morning breeze was chilly, and Zhou Yuanfang had already washed up with hot water.

As a result, when Zhou Yuanfang was using breakfast, the eunuch came to pass the message, saying that Archer accepted it quietly and did not even ask the maid.

Zhou Yuanfang wanted to see Archer get angry, but Archer didn't respond, so Zhou Yuanfang became more and more eager to inspire him.

After a while, Archer came to the room to wait for him to go to Qingfeng Hall where he went to study together. Zhou Yuanfang didn't say a word to him. After entering Qingfeng Hall, Zhou Yuanfang first walked to his seat, then patted the empty seat on the left, and said to Archer with a serious look on his face: "Sit beside me."

Archer said respectfully: "Thank you for your seat."

After saying that, Archer put his reading equipment on the table, lifted up his robe and tilted his knees toward him.

Zhou Yuanfang quickly and quietly dragged Archer's chair away.

Archer was not aware of it, but just when his body almost fell down in the air, Archer suddenly used force to stole a strong horse stance, and then stood up calmly. He looked to the right and looked at Zhou Yuanfang's unexpectedly surprised eyes last year. Archer was not angry. He took two steps back and knelt down to Zhou Yuanfang on one knee, and said seriously: "Prince, did I do something wrong, so the prince wants to punish me in this way?"

When he knelt down, Zhou Yuanfang suddenly felt at a loss.

Zhou Yuanfang was not very happy with many people around him, but he knew that Archer was the adopted son of Commander Xiao and the companion selected by his father. In terms of status, Archer was higher than Cao Lu and Zhao Shizhong, and was not the kind of servant who could be punished casually. His mother said that if he made a mistake, Archer could speak out and remind and dissuade him. Even if he was not polite, he would not have to bear the punishment afterwards.

He just wanted to tease Archer, but he didn't treat Archer as a humble servant, nor did he want Archer to kneel down at any time.

Mr. Wang, who was teaching, sat in front of the lecture and watched the scene silently.

Zhou Yuanfang was silent for a moment and said coldly: "You did nothing wrong. I just want to try your leg skills, get up."

Archer accepted this explanation and stood up straight.

The two children sat side by side to the first row.

Mr. Wang started teaching. He had already checked that day. Archer was later than the prince's enlightenment. Although he was a little behind, Archer was smart and could keep up with this level.

After this, Zhou Yuanfang also calculated Archer's temper, was rigid and obedient. He had the ability to make mistakes and would not make a mistake, but he would not want to complain. He was as boring as the old eunuchs and nanny around his father. Therefore, Zhou Yuanfang simply stopped taking action and quickly accepted the new companion arranged by his father.

Mr. Wang informed the King of Liao about this matter, and then flattered him, saying that King of Liao knew the wise and knew the big ones from the small, so Archer was definitely not a mediocre person.

The King of Liao was very satisfied. When he saw Xiao Zhen, he praised casually.

Xiao Zhen remembered it in his heart. When he returned home in the evening, Su Jin asked him for information. He had something to say.

Aman sat in his godfather's arms, listening very seriously, but he just couldn't understand. Looking at his mother smartly, the little girl could see her face!

Su Jin was thinking about his son's actions, thinking for a moment, and then he understood. His son was indeed smart. Zhou Yuanfang, who was as bright as the little overlord like Zhou Yuanfang, would only change his mind and bully people even more. He swallowed his anger and was looked down upon by Zhou Yuanfang and the people he served. His son deliberately made the joke so formal and handled it like an adult. If Zhou Yuanfang knew something, he would never do the naughty tricks of children.

As mentioned in the play, this is called retreating troops with courtesy.

Su Jin smiled proudly, looking out the door with phoenix eyes as if he could see his son in the palace.

Xiao Zhen was dazed and suddenly felt that the little woman's smile at this moment was somewhat similar to the smile when King Liao mentioned Archer's kneeling. Both were wise like a paradise. The wise King Liao was even more heroic, and the wise Su Jin... It seemed that he was shining, and it was no longer just a word "beauty" to describe it.

Xiao Zhen didn't read much, and he could not describe Su Jin's expression at this moment. He only knew that he had never seen such a woman.

"Mom, do you have to give me a reward?" Aman looked at his mother for a long time and felt that his mother's smile was very similar to his mother's smile when she counted money. Then just now, his godfather said that the prince praised his brother, but that day his mother said that his brother did a good job and would get a reward. The little girl contacted the two things together.

Su Jin was stunned for a moment before understanding what his daughter meant. He immediately laughed, his phoenix eyes curled.

This smile is familiar to Xiao Zhen. Every time Aman plays with treasure, she always smiles like this, gentle and beautiful.

But Xiao Zhen didn't look much and lowered his eyes before Su Jin noticed it.

My son is safe, Su Jin is relieved. Once he is relieved, he will have the leisure to get close to Xiao Zhen again.

"Sir, I'll go to the kitchen to see the elbows are almost ready." Su Jin said with a smile.

Xiao Zhen nodded.

Su Jin stayed in the kitchen for a while, and then brought Xiao Zhen’s supper with the maids in the kitchen. She personally brought the braised elbow, with tender green cabbage leaves in the white porcelain plate, and the big elbows were placed on the vegetable leaves. They were big and red, shiny and shiny, and men loved it!

Aman also likes to eat and sucks at his elbow.

"Aman has eaten with his godfather, but his mother has gone to the backyard." Looking at the two bowls that Aunt Liu brought, Su Jin said softly.

Xiao Zhen went out early and came back late. In order to get close to him and to make Xiao Zhen more time to care about the children, Su Jin always asked Archer and sisters to accompany Xiao Zhen to use supper, and she used it herself in the backyard.

Xiao Zhen glanced at the big elbow in front of him and felt very sorry. She worked hard in cooking, but he couldn't keep her.

Aman used to having dinner with his godfather and brother. Today, he lost his brother. Aman called his mother without thinking: "Mom, eat too!"

If Su Jin had no intention of Xiao Zhen, she would never stay, but...

She seemed a little moved, and looked at Aunt Liu in embarrassment, then lowered her head slightly, and tried her best to cover up her loneliness and said, "No, I just need to eat it myself."

That expression that he would rather endure loneliness than force himself to leave due to etiquette. Not to mention that Xiao Zhen could not bear it, Aunt Liu felt uncomfortable when he saw it. Aunt Liu always felt pity for Su Jin, who was young and lost. In the evening, Su Jin worked in the kitchen for a long time, just to make a few dishes in person, thanking the adults for helping her inquire about Archer's situation. Such a good dish was made by Su Jin, so what's the point of not having to eat?

"We are all a family, so let's eat here. It's delicious if there are too many people. Do you think so?" Aunt Liu asked Xiao Zhen with a smile.

Even if Xiao Zhen was not moved, he was not so stupid that he denied it under such circumstances.

"It's hard for brothers and sisters to cook, so let's eat together tonight." Xiao Zhen said as the leader, asking Aunt Liu to prepare a pair of dishes and chopsticks.

Aunt Liu went with a smile. Su Jin looked at Xiao Zhen embarrassedly and whispered: "Then I will have a meal with you."

The delicate voice, especially the three words "accompanying the adult", made Xiao Zhen's bones numb. He pretended not to hear it, and lowered his head and touched A's head and was full of rushing into the sky.

Ah Man only had elbows in his eyes, and he didn't listen to his godfather and what was his mother talking about.

The bowls and chopsticks were all on the top, and the people all retreated to the yard.

Su Jin changed his previous restraint, picked up the chopsticks, skillfully pushed away his elbows, picked up a piece of big meat and handed it to Xiao Zhen's bowl: "I remember that adults like to eat this. You can eat more, so you can get the strength to be a job tomorrow."

Xiao Zhen was flattered and looked at the elbow meat in the bowl and didn't know what to say.

As if nothing had happened, Su Jin continued to pick up a small piece of her daughter and reminded her: "Chew slowly, chew it until it's over."

Aman nodded obediently, his little mouth moving.

Su Jin looked at his daughter and then at the big man diagonally opposite him. He started eating with satisfaction. After taking a few bites, Su Jin began to chat with Xiao Zhen about family matters: "Sir, do you still remember Lord Li's niece in Zhangcheng? You don't know. The princess invited me to enjoy the chrysanthemums that day. I was shocked and thought the princess would also ask me to protect the mediator for you."

Xiao Zhen almost choked on the wine, slowed down, and said to Cai Di: "The princess wants to take care of the entire palace in the royal palace, how can she have that leisure? My brother and sister are worried too much."

Su Jin smiled and said, "After that being said, I'm afraid that we've fallen into the marriage."

Xiao Zhen immediately blamed himself: "I blame me for implicating my brother and sister."

Su Jin didn't say anything.

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but raise his eyes.

Su Jin then gave him a look, staring at him with beautiful eyes and said, "I always blame myself. Didn't my lord treat me as my family?"

A beautiful woman is also beautiful when she stares with affection, but it is not called staring or flirting. Its power is enough to make Liu Xiahui's heart sway. For men who are also affectionate, its power is like aged wine. From bone marrow to flesh, it is drunk and unable to extricate itself.

Xiao Zhen's heart was beating, and his throat had just passed the wine, and he screamed like a fire, but his eyes were avoiding it very quickly, for fear that she would see through it.

He didn't respond, Su Jin continued to talk about his own words and asked curiously: "But I also want to know why I haven't married at this age? Don't use the trick of making achievements and careers perfunctory. As the saying goes, start a family first and then start a career. With family, adults will be more motivated to work outside. Otherwise, you will be successful and wealthy, and you will not be able to celebrate with you. How lonely you will be."

Xiao Zhen's eyes moved slightly.

Why didn't you marry?

Before he was twenty years old, he learned martial arts with his master of the escort agency. The escort agency was all men. He was always escorting outside for many years and really had no intention of getting a wife. His aunt introduced him to him. Xiao Zhen could hide, but he couldn't hide and went to see him. He turned around and found an excuse and refused. After he was twenty years old, he joined the army and ran around the country. He had only settled in Liaodong in recent years.

I can indeed marry a wife, but I just fell in love with someone I shouldn't like.

"I don't want to mention this after my brother and sister-in-law." Xiao Zhen said in a stern manner.

Su Jin knew he was stupid, but Xiao Zhen had a cold face. She was really angry. She was unsure.

"Okay, okay, it's me who is arguing, don't be upset, sir." Su Jin apologized timidly, looking at him with exploratory eyes.

Xiao Zhen wanted to explain, but when he looked up and met her shimmering phoenix eyes, he couldn't speak anymore. He was inexplicably irritated and brought the bowl to drink.

Su Jin was unbelievable, and she thought of the prince Zhou Yuanfang who was so boring that she could not tease her son. Facing her son, Zhou Yuanfang should be what she feels now, right?

"Mom, eat meat." The adults were having fun chatting. Aman finally finished chewing the meat in his mouth, stretched his neck, staring at the plate and continued to ask for it.

Su Jin had to serve his daughter first. When he saw that the one in Xiao Zhen’s bowl had long disappeared, Su Jin bit his lip and took a bold step to get a big piece of Xiao Zhen.

Anyway, I had eaten a piece, so Xiao Zhen didn't feel embarrassed anymore and ate it when it should be.

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief and was willing to eat her meat, which meant that Xiao Zhen's anger came quickly and went quickly, so she no longer mentioned that one.

My son was in the royal palace, and Su Jin seized the time and embroidered a jade sachet.

That night, Xiao Zhen came back, and Su Jin led Aman to see him. The eighth day of the lunar month was Aman's birthday. Su Jin asked Xiao Zhen how he wanted to celebrate.

Xiao Zhen asked his goddaughter: "Where does Aman want to go?"

Aman shook his head and said seriously: "I want my brother." She hadn't seen her brother for several days.

Xiao Zhen touched the girl's head and said to Su Jin: "I'll go and tell the prince tomorrow to see if I can let Archer go home that night."

Su Jin said worriedly: "Will it make the prince unhappy?"

Xiao Zhen said: "It's just one night, it's not a problem."

Su Jin looked at his daughter who missed his brother and no longer objected.

Aman was a man who couldn't sit still, so he stayed in the main hall for a while, and ran out again.

Xiao Zhen was about to follow, and Su Jin followed closely. Before Xiao Zhen was about to step out of the main hall, Su Jin looked at his majestic back and whispered: "Sir, this is for you."
