Jian An Kee

Chapter 9

I will leave immediately after the task is completed.The boy in Chuyi called Ren Yan sent us to the foot of the mountain, and I signaled Laiyan to pass a piece of silk with a red stamp on it, which contained a total of [-] yuan, and ordered it to be handed over to his family, Mr. Pang.

The itinerary was smoother than expected. I expected that Pang Tong, who was as famous as Mr. Fulong, would wait at least a day before I would meet him. I didn't expect to wait for only half an hour. I earned this trip.

On the return trip, I tried to keep up with Laiyan, but whenever I let the horse go at a slow pace, Laiyan would also slow down immediately afterwards, and always remained half a horse behind me.After traveling for half a day, I just had another confidential confrontation with Pang Tong. I have not been able to breathe for a moment since the morning, and my head began to ache.After several efforts to no avail, I simply ordered: "Stop, Miss Ben wants to rest."

Laiyan settled me in the grove by the river, first took out the water bag from the carry-on luggage and handed it to me, and then led the mount to a nearby stream to drink the horse.This Zhou Yu, his subordinates must be bodyguards, servants, and grooms. He does three jobs and receives a salary. He is exactly like the legendary Master Zhou Papi.

When he came back, I pointed to the place beside me and signaled him to sit down and rest.Lai Yan lowered his head: "I don't dare to be humble."

"If you're told to sit down, sit down!"

He reluctantly found a place to sit on the floor, a foot away from me.

I pretended to be an amiable grandma wolf, and while gnawing on the dry biscuits in my hand, I asked, "Laiyan, how old are you?"

Laiyan bowed to me, and replied: "There are 25 years in humble positions."

"Huh?" At first glance, he looks older, but upon closer inspection, there is indeed a childish look between his eyebrows and eyes.Unexpectedly, he is the same age as me.

Relying on being half of the host, I continued to inquire about his privacy: "Then, how did you follow the governor?" But this guy actually frowned, his mouth was tightly pressed, and he was completely passive and resisting.

"Lai Yan," I raised my voice, "Why did uncle tell you to come here?"

"You should serve the lady."

I immediately squinted bluntly: "Hmm, how can you serve me if you don't even want to tell me such a shitty thing?"

He clearly knew that I was messing around, so he didn't point it out (he didn't dare to be true), so he could only reply: "Miss Yin, my humble grandfather is the elder brother of Lord Dudu."

I know by heart the relatives of Zhou Yu's three aunts and six wives.His eldest brother, Zhou Pu, passed away very early, and there is no record of Zhou Pu's children in the family. I am afraid that the children he left behind must be very rough.

So he is my nephew?I burst into laughter: "Bastard, so we are relatives. Uncle didn't tell me."

Lai Yan, who had always been reticent and silent, suddenly raised his head, his eyes rarely looked over my shoulder and looked into the distance, the expression on his face forbeared a lot of content: "If there is no help from the governor, the humble family may be in danger."

I smiled and said, "What nonsense, our Zhou family has never treated our relatives harshly, what do you think?"

He lowered his head again, staring hard at the soil beside his feet: "Miss...you are right."

Probably meeting Mr. Feng Chu exhausted today's good luck.It was originally planned that the two of us rushed to the east gate of Ezhou City to join the convoy before the city gate closed, but Sun Kuang, the fourth son of the Sun family, set up a tent with great fanfare to welcome his wife at the gate of the city. There are all guests around, people shouting and horses neighing.

Originally, there were so many people that just confused the line of sight.But with my knight-errant attire, seven out of ten people around me now know each other well. If someone bumps into me, I will immediately become notorious.

The car was so close that we couldn't get in, so Laiyan and I had to stay far behind the crowd.Seeing that the carriage was approaching the gate of the city, I stomped anxiously.

Lai Yan whispered to me: "Miss, wait a moment, when you find the right opportunity, get in the carriage immediately."

"What?" I didn't understand what he meant, and before I could figure it out, he disappeared into the crowd.

A moment later, there was commotion at the front of the line, and the horses of a carriage were frightened and ran towards the south of the city. Most of them could not help but follow the carriage and ran away.I took the opportunity to use what I had learned in my life to escape, and sneaked into my carriage when there were few people.Inside the car, Zhu'er looked at me without blinking, and said pitifully, "Miss, you've worried Zhu'er so much."



Ezhou City, the mansion of Sun Kuang.

In the middle of the night, Pearl and I were whispering about the hardships of the journey, when suddenly someone knocked on the door: "Is Miss Alan there? Our wife has come to visit you."

I hurriedly pulled off the quilt and lay down on the bed. In my panic, I didn't even have time to clean up the boots that were splashed with mud on the ground.

Huzhu heard that Cao Rong came in person, so she had to go to open the door and answer for me: "My maidservant greets Madam. In reply to Madam, half an hour ago our young lady said that she was very tired today, and she already fell asleep."

I stared at Cao Rong's shadow reflected on the half-open door with bated breath, and heard the jingle of jewels on her head and a sweet voice: "Really? Then, Miss Alan, please rest well. As if hearing Alan speak, I must be too tired today."

She turned to leave, but suddenly came back: "If you miss anything, please tell me."

I waited with trepidation for that Mrs. Cao with a sweet voice and a beautiful face to leave. I reached out and brushed my chest, and said in a low voice, "I don't like her."

Huzhu hung up the tent for me, "But Mrs. Cao is so beautiful, her skin is fair and smooth, what is that..."

"The skin is like gelatin?"

"That's right." Huzhu nodded.

I poked her on the forehead: "Jiang's girl with creamy skin is also ruthless, and you can't see the appearance. Look at her exquisite appearance, cough, too smart and too high-profile, it's not a good thing."

"Miss, who is Jiang's daughter?"

"Well, it's the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. There was a princess named Xuan Jiang in Qi State. She... This story is too long, so I will tell you in detail when I go back!"

Hu Zhu curled her lips: "Miss, you must have forgotten."

I giggled guiltily: "Pearl, quickly pack up my dirty clothes and boots, and deal with them when I go back."

Two days later, when I left the city, Mrs. Cao, who was younger than me but a generation older than me, came to see me off in person, with moist eyes and a smile: "Uncle Ling is the pillar of our Jiangdong country, Alan must convey the greetings of Ji Zuo and me when he returns. Ji Zuo is young, and in the future, Uncle Ling will need to take care of him."

"Thank you Madam for taking care of Alan in the past two days. I will definitely convey Madam's regards to Uncle when I go back. Alan had a great time this time. I am really sorry for your inconvenience."

She nodded to me as a gesture, and I bent my knees and performed the etiquette of a junior saying goodbye to an elder, and slowly boarded the carriage.

I was so tired and lazy all the way back, so I went to the room to catch up on sleep when I got back to Chaisang.This time I fell asleep in the dark, at first I felt my face was cold, I instinctively slapped it with my backhand, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Zhou Yin, a little bastard holding a brush dripping with water, standing beside my bed with a smile.

The first thought that came to mind was, luckily, he didn't use ink...

"Where's your father?" I lifted the quilt, wiped the water off my face slowly, and searched for my shoes on the ground.

Zhou Yin opened his mouth to answer, when a person turned around from outside the screen, wearing a lake blue robe, with wide sleeves, and a good face - except for the wretched smile with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes.The moment Zhou Yin turned his head, he immediately returned to his loving father, patted Zhou Yin's head, and asked him to play outside.

I wore a pair of wooden clogs on my bare feet, and looked around for a robe.Zhou Yu leaned on the screen and commented on me calmly: "I slept like a dead dog all night."

I didn't bother to care about him, and continued to look for the belt.

"Are you sure you don't want your maid to come in to serve?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

I dragged my voice out: "Uncle—Uncle, can you have some sympathy? After working for many days, what's the matter with taking a break?"

He spread his hands together in a helpless manner: "I feel sorry for my conscience not wanting to remind you, Your Excellency, you have been sleeping since yesterday afternoon until almost noon today."

I just felt blue veins popping out of my forehead, "What?" I rushed to the door, only to see the sun shining brightly in the middle of the sky, it was indeed noon.I wailed and walked back to the bedroom with heavy steps.Disgraceful! The dignified Miss Zhou actually sleeps until the sun rises. God knows how many people will gossip about this matter.

Zhou Yu shrugged: "My wife has always been good-tempered, so she won't do anything to you."

I was ashamed and silent, and asked him again and again: "When did you come back? Didn't you go to Poyang to reorganize the army?"

There was a flash of scheming success in Zhou Yu's eyes, and he laughed so that everyone around him looked ghostly: "The day after you left, that is, the day before yesterday, Lu Zijing came back."

I couldn't catch my breath and barely choked on my own saliva.Lu Su went to Jingzhou to pay homage to Liu Biao, and when he came back, so did your husband come along?

"Heaven and earth conscience, I have no idea when he will come, it's just a coincidence, just a coincidence!" Seeing the dangerous glimmer of light in my eyes, he hastily defended his innocence and began to change the subject.Facts have proved that this guy is really old and cunning, and he successfully diverted my attention with one sentence: "What's the matter with you this time? You've only been out for three days, and you're so tired that you can't even wake up."

Hearing this, I immediately became sad and angry, and exaggerated ten thousand times the suffering that Pang Tong had suffered for me to complain.

"I know that guy, but it's just a little bit of trouble for you, and the sequelae won't be serious. Come here." At this point, Zhou Yu smiled, beckoned me to him, and lightly pressed on my left rib.

I cried out in pain.Confused, he began to press along my neck and spine, asking me if it hurts.

Seeing his serious expression, I couldn't help panicking: "What's the problem? What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yu showed a hesitant look on his face, "I see you are..."

"Huh?" I was quite frightened, could it be that I was poisoned?

"It's obvious that you have gained fat from not exercising for too long, and it's normal to be sore now." He said to me solemnly, with as sincere and sincere eyes as possible.

So, all my self-cultivation was finally shattered in front of Zhou Gongjin, and scattered with the wind.

After lunch, Zhou Yu chatted with me in the pavilion, and I reported to him what I had seen and heard recently.After listening to my narration, he waved his hand: "You don't need to take care of my lord's housework."

Mrs. Xiao Qiao ordered the maid to bring us fruit plate and sweet apricot tea.She said to him: "Alan takes a lunch break every day. Don't talk too long, or delay her rest. And you, remember to take a lunch break too."

Zhou Yu stood up, put his arms around Xiao Qiao's shoulders with a smile: "What Xiaoyi said is, how dare the last general refuse to follow orders?"

A pair of beauties who are perfect for each other, talking and laughing Yanyan, they are really a match made in nature.
