At the end of the Xu hour, Zhong Liyu sat in the hall and nodded sleepily. When Butler Xu felt distressed when he saw it, he said, "Young Master, Grandpa Xu asks you to take you to bed. Grandpa Xu is here alone to wait for his uncle."

Zhongliyu rubbed his eyes and forced himself to make himself angry.

"Grandpa Xu, I'm not sleepy..."

"Okay, then Grandpa Xu is holding you. If you are tired, just close your eyes and rest for a while, okay?"

Zhong Liyu nodded, opened his eyes and closed it immediately, and then opened his spirits again, just like glue was stained on his eyelids.

This is a villa built by Butler Xu outside the county town. Because the young master always arrives at home at night and the city gate is closed early in the evening, he can no longer wait for a night like last time.

"Dongdongdongdong", there were chaotic sounds of horse hooves treading on the ground outside, and there were still many people.

"Hurry, open the gate of the courtyard. It must be that the young master is back!" Butler Xu shouted in surprise.

The servants took off the wooden sticks from the door in a hurry, and then pulled the door open from both sides. Sure enough, they saw dozens of people standing there with horses. They were all tall and straight, with a murderous aura, and their eyes were sharp.

Looking at them, the two guys who opened the door were frightened to the point of fighting.

"Grandpa Xu, I'm going to come down." Zhong Liyu also woke up. He struggled to get down to the ground to avoid letting his uncle see him being held in his hand.

Butler Xu quickly put him down, then took his hand and went to the door to greet him.

"uncle!"

"Young Master, you are back. You are exhausted all the way. Come into the house to rest. I have already asked the kitchen to prepare food. Come in and eat something quickly." Butler Xu looked at it thinner than when he came back last time.

Kou Jing couldn't help but burst into tears after a little bit. His young master should be like his master, and he is a noble scholar!

The servants wanted to lead the horse, but Kou Jing and the others refused. The horses that came down from the battlefield were much more fierce than those who helped people pull carts and carry goods. If they were not close to them, they would probably be beaten if they were not good.

Kicked.

After sending the horse to the stable in the backyard, Kou Jing and his group walked in. The men smiled and greeted Butler Xu.

Someone squatted down, approached Zhongliyu, and said, "Hello, young master." He also had a scar on his face. He looked a little hideous during the day, and at night, under the reflection of candlelight, it added a bit more horrible.

.

"Dou Bing, don't scare the young master of Baihu family. You can't get up." Hu Jun scolded.

"Hello uncles, my nephew is not afraid. My uncle also has such a scar, which looks kind. What's more, Uncle Chu said that scars are an indelible medal for heroes. All uncles and my uncle protect the family together.

Weiguo, thank you for your hard work."

The innocent words of an old child immediately made these men who had just come out of the battlefield feel warm. Although they were not the best for the army, everything they had paid could be seen and remembered in their hearts.

They are also very happy.

"What a scar is a hero's indelible medal! I just don't like those little guys, but those girls don't know how to appreciate it!" Zhong Bao couldn't help but complain.

Everyone else laughed. Isn’t it just that when he came home from Fumu, his wife said a few sloppy words, and he was still worried until now.

"Okay, let's go have a meal." Kou Jing greeted. They brought the mission back this time. In order to save the time spent on the way, they drove lightly and ate dry and hard steamed buns.

Butler Xu knew that almost a dozen people came over and ordered the kitchen to prepare more than 20 people's meals, thinking that no matter what, it would be enough, right? As a result, after these people ate a meal, they actually said, "I'll have something to eat tonight."

□□It’s enough to eat more tomorrow.

Butler Xu couldn't help but look dark, thinking that he would have to transfer two more chefs from the mansion tomorrow, otherwise the two fat chefs in other yards would probably become thin chefs.

After finally getting settled for the guests, Butler Xu came to Kou Jing's door and heard the sound of water coming from inside. He asked, "Young Master, I have prepared new clothes for you. Can I bring them in now?"

After responding, Butler Xu pushed the door and saw Kou Jing sitting on the bed. He was wearing mid-trousers and not wearing clothes on his upper body, and was carrying a small porcelain bottle to apply it to his body.

Looking at the scars on his body, Butler Xu felt uncomfortable again. "Young master, should I come and paint it for you?"

Kou Jing frowned, "Uncle Xu, haven't I said it? There is no need to call myself a slave in front of me. Now I am the only relative of Yu'er."

"Yes, it won't happen again. It's just that you look more and more like the master. My eyes are dizzy and I can't help but treat you as one person, so I blurt out." Butler Xu helped him apply the scars on his back, feeling deeply.

Speaking of his father, Kou Jing was also silent. After a long time, he said, "If my father was alive, I would be very disappointed to see me like this." His father passed the Jinshi, and he definitely hoped that he could become a well-educated person.

Is it a sir?

Butler Xu was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "Young Master, you are too worried. At that time, the master knew that you were not disappointed, but was still very happy. He said, "A man is a real man and a man will live. When he imitated the ancients, the champion Hou Baojiawei

The country is the only thing that seals the wolf and the servants. My son has such ambitions and is very comforted by his father.'The master is actually very open-minded. At that time, you were scratched and he was very worried that you would be in a slump. Later, you cheered up and he let go

The heart comes."

Kou Jing couldn't help feeling a little sad when he remembered his kind father's voice, appearance and smile. He couldn't even see his father for the last time.

In order not to let Butler Xu be sad, Kou Jing changed the topic: "Have Yu'er gone to bed?"

"I fell asleep. After seeing you, I couldn't hold on. When I was put on the bed just now, I called Brother Xiaoyuan with my eyes closed." Butler Xu couldn't help laughing when he said Zhong Liyu.

"He had a good relationship with Brother Ci's nephew. Thanks to Brother Ci and Xiaoyuan, Yu'er was able to calm down and study in the county school." He remembered the heart-wrenching cry when he said he had been admitted to school.

"Yes, the young master has lived with the lady in the back house since he was a child, and he didn't even have a playmate of the same age around him. It was not until he met Xiaoyuan that he had friends."

"If my sister knows the Spirit of Heaven, she will definitely feel comforted. I will send Xiaoyuan to the county school tomorrow, and I will thank you very much."

...

Chu Ci woke up in the morning and played a five-animal show with Zhang Wenhai and others. He was very helpless and thought he could teach them the tricks of square dancing. What is the difference between getting up early every day and gathering to exercise every day, and the old man in the park.

?By the way, don’t say that after their team grew, several teachers really fought with each other every day!

When he returned to the room, Chu Xiaoyuan had already gotten up and cleaned up himself.

After washing up, the uncle and nephew followed the crowd to the cafeteria. This morning it was rice porridge with side dishes. The side dishes were pickled by an old lady inside. They were crispy and delicious when chewed, and there was a little bit of just the right spicy. It was so delicious that it was eaten by Chu Ci.

Wonderful praise.

The obvious contrast with Chu Ci is Chu Xiaoyuan, who is absent-minded. Every time he chews, he looked outside, hoping to see his friends.

"Oh." Chu Ci sighed heavily, attracted Chu Xiaoyuan's attention, and then said: "Didn't you always say that Yu'er is a follower and a spoiled person? Why did he miss him so much again if he didn't see him for a day?"

"I'm... not!" Chu Xiaoyuan retorted stubbornly.

"Is that? That's better. Uncle Yu'er is back. Maybe his uncle will live with him in the future. Are you free again? Are you happy?" Chu Ci smiled brightly.

Chu Xiaoyuan looked at Chu Ci with his mouth pouted for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, "Don't there still be a bed in our room? Let Uncle Yu'er move in. It's colder in winter, so I slept with Yu'er.

Uncle, just sleep with his uncle, and you don’t have to be so cold that you can squeeze with us. Is it OK?"

Looking at Chu Xiaoyuan's bright eyes, the others couldn't help laughing. It was rare to see Brother Chu get defeated once, but he felt a little happy in his heart. What's going on?

Chu Ci glared at Chu Xiaoyuan, "The child talks so much, eat quickly, I'll take you to the Mengtong Pavilion after eating."

Chu Xiaoyuan snorted, these adults would use this method to threaten others! In the future, he would not let them speak if he had children!

Chu Ci took Chu Xiaoyuan slowly towards the Mengtong Pavilion. From a distance, he heard a crisp "Brother Xiaoyuan". Chu Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up, and then he pretended to be careless and responded, and his mouth was still

He said idiot, calling so loudly.

Chu Ci looked at him contemptuously and cursed in his heart that he really knew how to pretend.

He looked at the sound and saw a tall figure who seemed strange and somewhat familiar. Although he had only seen him for a while, he had a deep memory.

The man also looked over and curled the corner of his mouth towards Chu Ci. His eyes were gentle, he showed a shallow smile, and called out "Brother Ci".

Chu Ci couldn't tell me what he felt. I thought his voice was too gentle and affectionate, so he had the illusion of hot cheeks.

"Brother Kou, you're back."

Kou Jing frowned slightly: "Why did Brother Ci call me Brother Kou in addition to seeing him so much?"

"Brother Mozhi, don't blame me, I'm just in a hurry, I won't know next time." Chu Ci said that the ancients were very close to friends who had exchanged letters, such as "the sea and the sky are in sight, and they are not irresistible" or "paper"

Short-sightedness, even long-lasting thoughts," are all words that friends express their lovesickness.

Kou Jing nodded then, then looked at Chu Xiaoyuan: "I have nothing to give to you when I first met my nephew. I heard from Yu'er that Xiaoyuan is very skilled in martial arts and has a weak moral character. I will leave this little thing for him to play with.

Bar."

Chu Xiaoyuan shouted "Uncle Kou", and then couldn't help staring at the "gate" in Kou Jing's hand. It was a dagger the size of a palm, with a few gems inlaid on the sheath.

Very fine workmanship.

When Chu Ci saw this, he hurriedly said, "This thing is very expensive. Xiaoyuan, a child, may have been broken. Besides, he has no weight and he is holding this dagger and may have hurt his classmates. I thank Brother Kou for all his wishes.

.”

Kou Jing smiled, took Chu Ci's hand, and placed the dagger in his hand. "Brother Ci, you can open it and take a look."

Chu Ci pulled out the sheath, and there was indeed a dagger with a cold light inside, but when you look closely, the dagger has a heavy end, and the head is flat, and it has no sharpening effect, and it is really just for it. Children's toys are just more expensive.

"Since that's the case, I will thank you Brother Mozhi on behalf of my nephew." Chu Ci smiled and thanked him, and handed the dagger to Chu Xiaoyuan.

Chu Xiaoyuan took it happily and said to Kou Jing: "Thank you, Uncle Kou."

"No need to thank you, uncle hasn't thank you yet. I heard from him that you took care of him in school, thank you."

The three of them talked, and Zhong Liyu couldn't wait. He grabbed Chu Xiaoyuan's hand and said, "Uncle, Uncle Chu, we are about to be late and we are caught by the teacher. We will be thug later."

The two children ran into the Mengtong Pavilion with their hands, and Kou Jing and Chu Ci also walked towards the provincial examination class.

"Brother Mozhi, what's wrong with you coming back this time? I remember the last time you said in your letter, if I pass the imperial examination and come back in person to congratulate you, it's been several months ahead of schedule, but what's wrong?"

"Yes or not. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the guards of various places have been replaced, and our marshal was transferred to the border guard camp of Xijiang Province. As the marshal's personal soldiers, we have also followed." Kou Jing let Chu Ci be without reservation without reservation. I was very happy, although these were not considered military aircraft.

"I returned to Yuanshan County this time, and I took on the task and wanted to recruit some soldiers to return to the camp."

"Recruitment?" The scene of "sending to Shihao Village at night, and officials caught people at night" immediately appeared in Chu Ci's mind. Since ancient times, military service has definitely been the most feared form of corvee service for the people.

"It's not what you think. This time the new emperor ascended the throne and was amnesty for the world. The people who were pardoned were veterans over fifty-five years old. The court gave Rong Yangyin to let them return to their hometown. Therefore, there were insufficient soldiers, so they needed supplies from the people. It was all based on voluntary action, and each time a soldier was recruited, he would pay two taels of silver to let them comfort their parents."
