Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

Mrs. Zhong was not as straight-minded as Zhong Yao, when she saw Xu Guanchen's reaction, she put down her chopsticks, sneered, and said, "Ah Chen, it's midnight, what's the deal?"

"This..." Xu Guanchen thought about it hard, and Xiao Zhi read some excerpts recently, "Yanbei's... military defense changes."

Mrs. Zhong asked with a smile: "Yanbei's military defense has changed. What do you do? Why don't you ask Ayao? You only stayed in Yanbei for one year, and Ayao stayed in Yanbei for more than 20 years."

"I don't know either." Xu Guanchen's voice was too soft to hear, "It's because he couldn't guess his mind that people around him said he was weird."

"Eat quickly, after eating, aunt will talk to you."

Xu Guanchen tried to change the subject: "It's rare for aunt to go back to Jinling, why don't you go to see the clothes and jewelry? By the way, take Yueniang to see, there are no other girls in the Duke's mansion, so I still want aunt to bring her more when she is around."

"You don't need to tell me." Mrs. Zhong thought for a while, and then said, "Yueniang told me yesterday that you emptied the Duke's mansion, is it true?"

"I'm not, I don't." Xu Guanchen shrank his neck, "I just want to explain to my sister the importance of learning how to be a housekeeper."

"You don't know how to manage the house yourself, but you want your sister to help you?"

"My aunt just said yesterday that I'm a young master, and I don't stay in the house. It's not easy for me to do things like a housekeeper, and it's disgraceful."

Mrs. Zhong coughed twice: "You kid, you have a pretty good memory."

Xu Guanchen smiled: "Auntie, thank you."

After breakfast, Xu Guanchen quietly went back to the room to take a look, Xiao Zhi had already left, maybe this time he went over the wall.Xu Guanchen put the bunny buns he brought on the table casually, and went out to find Mrs. Zhong.

Mrs. Zhong sat facing him, and Zhong Yao was making tea beside him. At first, she only talked about homely things, and then slowly turned the conversation to Xu Guanchen and Xiao Zhi.

"That's what I said in front of Uncle Chai yesterday, but I still want to ask you clearly." Mrs. Zhong sat upright, put down the teacup in her hand, and said seriously, "Ah Chen, have you really thought about it?"

Xu Guanchen put his hands on his knees and nodded earnestly: "Before I lost my memory, I thought about it when I wrote the letter. After I lost my memory, I thought about it again these days, and I thought about it."

Zhong Yao refilled his mother's tea: "I said he was very stubborn. It's not that I didn't persuade him, but I couldn't persuade him."

Mrs. Zhong frowned and looked at him: "You can't even find a man, what right do you have to say about your brother?"

Zhong Yao put down the teapot heavily, and shouted, "Mother, why are you like this?"

"You may not like the girl from Yanbei, but now that you are in Jinling, I should help you as a mother..."

Zhong Yao tried to intervene, telling his mother that the conversation should be about Xu Guanchen, but unfortunately failed.

Xu Guanchen mouthed to him and said silently, "Thank you, cousin."

In the end, Mrs. Zhong still gave him thousands of exhortations, and finally told him to follow his heart in everything, but not to follow his heart, but to have a heart that is not ashamed of his heart.

Xu Guanchen nodded solemnly: "Guanchen understands."

"It's good that you understand." Mrs. Zhong lowered her eyes and thought for a while, "I talked to Uncle Chai yesterday, and the words were a bit harsh. He is going to the Zhuangzi, or... I heard that after you were beaten, I just said a word. Didn't you tell him?"

"Yes."

"Talk to him, just to scold him, but he is not a real enemy." Mrs. Zhong sighed, "You don't stay at home all year round, and he has helped you manage the Duke's Mansion for so long. Hard."

Xu Guanchen lowered his head: "I see."

"Children."

"Ok?"

Mrs. Zhong laughed and said, "You don't talk to people when you're angry, you childish ghost."

After chatting for a while, Xu Guanchen withdrew.When he went out, Mrs. Zhong was turning the topic on Zhong Yao.

Gently closing the door, Xu Guanchen turned around and saw Xu Yue standing on the opposite porch, and when he saw him coming out, he waved to him.

When he approached, Xu Yue smiled and called out: "Brother."

"Yeah." Xu Guanchen said, "Looking for aunt?"

"No, I'm looking for my brother."

"Is something wrong?"

"Brother let me housekeeper?"

"Yes." Xu Guanchen quickly realized, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Yue put her hands behind her back and said softly: "The old man who usually manages the candlelight in the ancestral hall just resigned this morning, I think..."

"You want Chai Bo to go."

"Yeah, brother is so powerful, you can guess that."

Xu Yue moved closer to him, and the 15-year-old girl was much shorter than him, wandering around him like a rabbit.

"Even if Chai Bo did something wrong, it was Chai Bo who brought me back. I want to keep him."

Xu Guanchen thought for a while, and finally agreed: "It is agreed that you are the butler, and you will be the butler."

"Thank you brother."

But there are some things, Xu Guanchen thought, it's better to be clear.

"Does Yueniang know that Uncle Chai brought you back in the first place, what did he want you to do?"

"I know." Xu Yue turned her face away and stopped looking at him, "But when I saw my brother at that time, Yueniang knew that my brother was a pure-hearted Taoist priest and a gentleman."

Being pure-minded and ascetic is not the case, Xu Guanchen felt a little guilty for no reason, the others didn't know, only Xiao Zhi only said that he had violated the precepts several times.

Xu Yue continued: "However, the situation was urgent at that time. People from Fengyue Tower came to our door and wanted to arrest me. Uncle Chai couldn't think of it for a while.

After seeing so many things, he really wanted to save me at the time.In order to save me, he took a stick for me twice, and then he coughed continuously for several days. "

"Okay." Xu Guanchen exhaled foul breath, and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "Since it's your housekeeper, then you are the master."

In the afternoon, Xu Guanchen took time to visit the ancestral hall.

At that time, Chai Bo was sweeping the floor in the backyard, Xu Guanchen came in alone, lit incense, bowed three times, and took down the wooden box from the altar table.

Wrapped in red cloth, it is the iron coupon of the Danshu from Dingguo Mansion.

Sensing someone coming in, Chai Bo held the broom in his arms, opened the door and took a look.

The ancestral hall was a little dark, only Xu Guanchen was still wearing the old washed white Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on the grass futon, with his back to him, head lowered, obviously still very thin.

He put the broom outside the door, coughed twice, and asked, "Is the injury on the young man better?"

Xu Guanchen paused while holding the alchemy book, then asked him casually: "Is the injury on Uncle Chai's back better?"

Chai Bo nonchalantly stood on the threshold, but said: "My lord, what Taoist Priest Yuqingzi said to Mrs. Zhong, I have thought about it after going back. This matter is what I did wrong."

Xu Guanchen turned his back to him, and only heard three muffled kowtows.

He sighed softly, waved his hands and said, "They are all from my own family, so don't worry about them."

"Young master still reads the iron coupons of the alchemy book, doesn't it..."

"No." Xu Guanchen waved at him, "Uncle Chai, did Grandpa tell you about the alchemy book before he was alive?"

Chai Bo approached and knelt down beside him: "The old man never mentioned it."

"Think about it carefully." Xu Guanchen looked at the object in his hand over and over again, "I was holding this object a few days ago, and I always felt that there was something wrong."

"The old man did say that the iron certificate of the alchemy book in the mansion is very important. At that time, the old man took you to Qingzhou to practice Taoism. I originally planned to go with you, but the old man said that he wanted me to stay in the mansion to guard , and specially ordered to keep an eye on the iron coupons of the Danshu."

Xu Guanchen was thoughtful: "That's it."

"The iron voucher of the Danshu was originally a gift from the emperor, and it is very useful, maybe because of this..."

"No." Xu Guanchen shook his head firmly.

He suddenly remembered one thing. On New Year's Eve in the 42nd year of the Yuan Dynasty, he went to the palace to meet the old emperor. On that day, he was hand-picked as the Minister of Gu Ming, and the old emperor fed him a red ball to control him.

When he was about to leave the Palace of Funing, the old emperor said to him: "You can keep the iron coupon of the alchemy book from Dingguo's mansion."

He remembered it very clearly, because this was the last thing he remembered after losing his memory.

Grandpa told Uncle Chai to take a good look at the iron coupons of Danshu, perhaps because the iron coupons can avoid capital punishment in critical times.But the old emperor also wanted him to be optimistic about this thing, not because of this.

Xu Guanchen thought for a while, rewrapped the alchemy book with red cloth, and put it in the box: "The wooden box that contains this alchemy book, and this piece of red cloth, did grandpa put it in?"

"No." Chai Bo shook his head, "This is what the old slave bought later."

"Okay." Xu Guanchen got up holding the box, "I'll take the alchemy book back to have a look, and I'll return it someday. You should take care of it, Mr. Lauchai."

He went back with his things in his arms, and when he returned, Xiao Zhi was sitting in his room, holding a bunny bun in his hand.

Xu Guanchen put the box in the dark shelf in front of the couch, and said, "The steamed buns are cold, if you want to eat, I'll ask the kitchen to warm them up for you."

It was brought to him by Xu Guanchen in the morning, and now it is afternoon, so it is naturally cold.

"I don't want to eat it." Xiao Zhi put down the steamed bun, "It looks good."

Xu Guanchen put away his things and sat down in front of him: "Are you looking for me to discuss the book again this time?"

Xiao Zhi remained silent.

"Then it really came in over the wall this time?"

Xiao Zhi frowned and remained silent, probably thinking of the little prince who came in over the wall.If it wasn't for Xu Guanchen's disapproval, this little prince should be eating dirt in the northwest now.

"Then how did you get in?"

"Traveling in micro-service."

"That's what you said last night." Xu Guanchen held up two fingers, pointed on the case, and walked, "Walking around..."

Xiao Zhi grabbed his hand without changing his expression, and said: "I'm lucky to be with you, the young master of Dingguo's mansion."

Xu Guanchen covered his face with his hands.

"Ask Zhong Yao to open the door." Xiao Zhi said, "I went to see my aunt just now, and she asked me to wait for you in your room."

"It's not my aunt, it's my aunt." Xu Guanchen still covered his face, "I obviously looked down on you before, what method did you use?"

"Say you have it."

"What?" Xu Guanchen said in surprise, "You say that, aunt might think I found a fool or a lunatic."

"It's because you have the marriage certificate, not anything else. It's useless if she refuses, and it's still against the law. The government can arrest her."

Xu Guanchen pursed his mouth: "It's because you figured it out."

Xiao Zhi lowered his eyes: "What do you want?"

Xu Guanchen overreacted and slapped the table: "I never thought about it."

"Actually, you have this idea, it was Zhong Yao who came up with it."

"He gave you advice?"

"He really wants to be a relative with his uncle."

"Uncle? Why?"

"He likes to discuss the Yanbei military defense with his uncle, but he doesn't have a younger sister, and his uncle has already married, so..."

"He's a real guy." Xu Guanchen thumped the table again angrily, "When he came, he said he must take me back to Yanbei, but he changed his mind so quickly."

Xiao Zhi looked up at him and smiled lightly.

In fact, he had just talked with Mrs. Zhong, and he didn't talk about marriage certificate regulations.
