The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Chu Heyi called Aunt Rui to her side and said, "Aunt Rui, go prepare a table of food. There must be chicken legs and braised pork."

"I'll make arrangements right away."

After a while, Nanny Rui asked someone to serve a table of dishes specially for Zheng Yizhao.

Chu Heyi sat opposite him.

The two men were not much different in age, but Chu Heyi had lived to the age of twenty-six after all, and his state of mind was different. He looked at Zheng Yizhao as if he were a child.

"This poor child, living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, seems to have never had a full meal." Nanny Rui couldn't help but sigh.

Zheng Yizhao was sixteen or seventeen years old, at the age of growing up, and he ate almost all the food on the table.

"My grandfather, father, and mother all hoped that I would study hard and become an official in the future. Unfortunately, I was unable to fulfill their wishes. It happened that they had no shortage of children, so they starved me every other day to force me to study. It was normal that they were not afraid of starving me to death."

Zheng Yizhao smiled.

There was no sadness in his tone, as if he was just stating a fact: his parents had no shortage of children, and he did not meet his parents' expectations. In order to force him to become the child they wanted, his parents starved him, forced him, and were not afraid of torturing him to death. It seemed normal to him.

He had no dissatisfaction and no resentment.

Aunt Rui was already heartbroken, but when she thought about the fact that he was Zheng Wenkang's grandson, she felt that she shouldn't be heartbroken. She was very conflicted.

Chu Heyi asked him, "Then do you know why you were sent to my Zhenbei Marquis Mansion?"

"I am the laughing stock of the Chengguo Mansion, the waste that my parents want to throw away. The Queen suggested to the Emperor that I be sent here to embarrass the Chengguo Mansion and my grandfather."

Chu Heyi raised his eyebrows slightly. He was clear-headed and knew everything, and he accepted the arrangement casually.

"Since you are full, come with me." Chu Heyi stood up and walked out. Zheng Yizhao did not indulge in his own grief. He immediately stood up and followed Chu Heyi.

Chu Heyi took him to the armory of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Seeing the dazzling array of weapons inside, Zheng Yizhao's eyes lit up.

He rubbed his hands, more obsessed than when he saw delicious food after being hungry for a long time.

"We have a large armory, and we have a lot of privately-owned weapons. Since you like weapons, come here often."

Judging from Zheng Yizhao's life, although he was Zheng Wenkang's grandson, he had indeed been abandoned by Zheng Wenkang and even by his parents.

In the mansion of Duke Chengguo, he lived worse than a servant. His parents despised him, and children of the same age or even younger than him laughed at him.

"Can I really come here often?" Zheng Yizhao looked at her in disbelief, his cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Yes, it would be even better if you could create new weapons."

"Can I also modify weapons?" Zheng Yizhao's voice trembled slightly. It was already good enough that he could see so many weapons.

If he could get started... it would be like a dream, but Chu Heyi told him that it could be modified? !

Chu Heyi nodded in response to his gaze: "If the new weapons you have modified can be used in large-scale combat, so that Northern Zhou, Southern Qi, and Western Rong can no longer invade us at will, you will be a hero of Daqi."

Zheng Yizhao was stunned for a long while, then he took two steps back and actually knelt down to Chu Heyi.

"Zheng Yizhao thanks Miss Heyi for helping me! I will never forget your kindness!"

Chu Heyi: “…”

Zheng Yizhao's biography records that his parents thought he was arrogant and that he ignored people when they spoke to him, which was really rude.

So who is this person who is so excited that he kneels down to her?

Chu Heyi quickly helped him up: "You don't have to be so polite, just do what you want to do with your heart, three meals a day...even if you want extra meals, just tell the servants, I will arrange for servants to take care of you."

When Zheng Yizhao stood up, his eyes were red.

He really never thought that one day he would be able to do what he liked and have enough food to eat.

It’s not that he is unwilling to obey his parents’ orders and study hard, it’s just that he can’t control his own preferences.

He felt that if he could never deal with weapons again in his life, then his life would be in vain and he might as well die.

The armory of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is very rich. Some of the weapons were captured by the Chu family on the battlefield, some were donated by others, and some were bestowed by the emperor. They are all top-level weapons, much better and richer than those in the Chengguo Mansion.

Zheng Yizhao looked at them one by one and couldn't let go.

Chu He intended to leave him alone in the armory, and arranged a servant and a nanny to take care of his food and daily life, and report his situation at any time, and then he no longer cared about him.

There was heavy rain in Shengjing City for two consecutive days, and there were water flowing everywhere.

Chu Heyi recalled that in his previous life, in the summer, the villages near Shengjing City were all flooded, causing countless deaths and injuries.

She immediately thought of Sang Nong, who was building water conservancy projects with the families of the warriors from the south and west.

However, water conservancy projects are not something that can be completed overnight. It is normal to spend five to ten years digging a canal.

Chu Heyi was worried about the flood in his previous life, so he took the initiative to find Sang Nong to find out the situation.

Last year, before Sang Nong started designing and construction, she had already told Sang Nong to dig a canal to drain water first to prevent the villages near Shengjing City from being flooded this year.

The mulberry farmer agreed at that time, but I don’t know how the excavation is going now.

When she arrived at the construction site, Sang Nong was at the front leading people to dig a canal. She waited for half an hour before Sang Nong came back covered in mud.

Chu Heyi asked him about the situation, and Sang Nong said, "I'll take Miss Chu for a walk, and she'll know."

Chu Heyi followed Sang Nong and found that Sang Nong really took her advice to heart.

He did as she said and quickly dug a canal to ensure that the villages near Shengjing City would not be flooded when the flood came.

She was very moved when she saw that Sang Nong was much darker and thinner than before.

"There has been a lot of rain this year and there is a high possibility of flooding, so I followed Miss Chu's arrangements," said Sang Nong.

Chu Heyi smiled and said, "Your salary is paid by the court on time every month. I have asked someone to deliver it to your house."

"Thank you Miss Chu, I'm here, eating and sleeping well."

Chu Heyi walked with him for a while, and after confirming that he was reliable, he stopped worrying and went back home.

Chu Ren had a day off today and came home to bring her some new news about the battlefield in the southern border.

"After the Third Prince and his wife arrived in Yanzhou City, they have been passive in the fight. Now the soldiers in the southern border are angry and discouraged, while the Nanqi army is very arrogant. There has been a lot of rain this year, and the people in Yanzhou City are suffering. Sister, you said before that the Third Prince and his wife will win the battle. Is that true?"

Chu Heyi pondered for a moment and said, "The Third Prince's wife is very good at psychological warfare. I think they are waiting for the right opportunity. If you want to destroy them, you must first make them arrogant. I just don't know what tricks they are going to use."

Not only Chu Heyi was curious about Runxue's tricks, but even Dongfang Shuo, who had followed Runxue to Yanzhou City for two months, still didn't know what tricks Runxue was going to use.

When the enemy challenged her to a fight, she did not respond. Instead, she led a large number of soldiers to dig a canal.

Or maybe she only asked him to take a small number of soldiers to fight, and retreat if they couldn't win. As a result, the soldiers are now complaining and rumors are flying around, saying that he is an incompetent general and is unworthy of being a prince.

A few days ago, Nan Qi had announced that the next time he sent troops, he would definitely destroy Yanzhou City.

Runxue was not in a hurry. She pressed Dongfang Shuo's shoulders and asked him to sit on the chair.

"I will wipe out Nanqi's army. We just need to wait a few more days. Now we need to eat and drink well and conserve our energy."
