Mingwei fell asleep quickly, took off her coat, rolled into the bed, and fell asleep soon after.
As for Yang Shu, not only was his undershirt soaked with sweat, his pants were also...
I had no choice but to get up and clean it.
Because the matter was so embarrassing, he didn't dare to call Ah Wan or Xiao Tong, so he could only secretly fetch water, rinse it randomly, change into clean clothes and return to bed.
The conditions were limited. His bed was not big. As long as she turned around, she would get into his arms.
Yang Shu regretted, why did he ask her to take off her coat just now? It was too clear to stick together like this...
He didn't sleep much that night, and he didn't drift off until dawn. However, his own habits were too strong, and he woke up after only an hour.
…
Ah Wan came out of the house with dark circles under her eyes and saw Duofu sitting in the main room with a frown on his face.
She was curious but didn't want to talk to Duofu, so she was busy working nearby and keeping an eye on Duofu.
There was a noise in the main house and Yang Shu came out.
"Sir!" Ah Wan jumped over immediately, "You're up. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll do it!"
"Whatever." Yang Shu yawned and walked listlessly to the main room.
Ah Wan felt strange. She was so angry that she didn't sleep well all night. Why was the young master like this? What was his reason?
Seeing him coming, Duofu also jumped up: "Mr. Yang, where is my young lady?"
"I haven't woken up yet." Yang Shu replied, sat down on the mat, and fell asleep leaning against the table.
Duofu glanced towards his room, wanting to see what was going on, but feeling embarrassed, so he kept looking at him.
Yang Shu could only cheer up and say, "It's okay, she will get up naturally after she has had enough sleep."
"Oh." Duofu agreed, looking like he wanted to ask but didn't dare.
Ah Wan watched from the side as they asked and answered questions. She was not a fool. She knew there was a problem when she heard this, but emotionally rejected the possibility, so she asked Duofu: "What are you doing about your young lady?"
Ask our young master?"
Duofu opened his mouth, but couldn't answer.
She is not as sharp-tongued as Ah Wan, let alone this matter, what should she say? It doesn't matter that Mr. Yang is a man, but the young lady is a girl who has not left the court. Just thinking about it will make her feel guilty.
Ah Wan was unreasonable and unforgiving: "You master and servant are really weird. Why do you always..."
"Ah Wan!" Yang Shu interrupted her, "I want to eat fish paste porridge."
"Young Master!" Ah Wan was angry. Forget about protecting that woman, now she even protects her maid.
Yang Shu had a headache. Not to mention that Duofu couldn't say it out loud, and he couldn't say it either...
Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the main room opened again. Mingwei, wearing yesterday's clothes, obviously just woke up, grabbed her hair that was almost scattered and walked out: "Thank you, help me comb it."
Ah Wan's eyes suddenly widened. She had been deceiving herself, but now she couldn't deceive herself even if she wanted to. While pointing her finger at Ming Wei, she turned back and stared at Yang Shu, deeply shocked: "You, you..."
I thought they were just doing something secretly, but I didn’t expect that they didn’t come out all night!
Duofu immediately put down what he was doing and went to help Mingwei comb his hair. Yang Shu covered his face and looked helpless.
Ah Wan was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, but at this moment, Ning Xiu also came out.
He looked at Mingwei's master and servant who was combing his hair, and then at Yang Shu who seemed to have been drained of energy, and said meaningfully: "Junior brother, even if you are young, you have to exercise restraint. The future is bright!"
These words gave Awan the final blow. She said "Wow" and ran away crying.
"Ah Wan!" Yang Shu shouted.
Ah Xuan, who happened to enter the house, was confused and said consciously: "I'll chase him."
Duofu was quick with his hands and feet and was able to comb his hair in just two or three strokes.
Mingwei sat down and had time to ask: "What's wrong with Ah Wan?"
"It's okay." When Yang Shu saw her lifting up her sleeves, revealing a fair and shiny wrist, her face felt hot and she turned her head, "She will figure it out on her own."
"Oh." Mingwei didn't pay much attention, took the porridge brought by Xiaotong, and ate breakfast seriously.
…
The generals of the Yang family discovered that their young master seemed to have returned to normal.
This winter when he first came to Gaotang, the young master was very silent and just led them to work every day.
Building houses, repairing stables, buying food...the biggest pastime is just riding a horse and running around like crazy. Every day, I am so tired that I am covered in sweat, and I fall asleep like them.
Such a young master is simply terrifying!
They felt that the young master had probably suffered too much of a blow.
Come to think of it, I was so favored before, but then I was demoted to such a shabby place without even a decent house. How could I not be shocked?
Now he's fine, the young master has finally returned to his original appearance.
They no longer wear the same clothes as them, nor do they work with them - thank God, when the young master is here, they don't even dare to say unnecessary words, but they are choked to death.
Now I'm fine, I've finally returned to the cheerful atmosphere, and I can chat and make dirty jokes.
Originally, what kind of work would a good young master of a noble family do? It made them feel sorry for the eldest princess and the old master every day.
Thank God, luckily that Miss Ming came over...
The generals accepted the reality faster than they imagined. Within two days, Mingwei discovered that they already regarded her as their mistress.
What a good girl! Even though she knew that the young master was being demoted from the capital, she still followed her all the way to suffer hardships. She is so affectionate and loyal, shouldn't she be respected?
Mingwei probably guessed what they were thinking, although there were all kinds of misunderstandings... If they were willing to obey, let them misunderstand!
In the main room, Mingwei was sitting on the mat, with a chess box containing black and white pieces in front of him, but he was not playing chess, but talking to Brother Yang Shu.
"In terms of manpower, you, the Yang family, can absolutely trust you, right?"
Yang Shu nodded: "These people were personally selected by my grandparents. They have studied and practiced martial arts with me since childhood. There is no doubt about their ability and loyalty."
Mingwei took out a few white stones and placed them in the middle.
"Then there are the herdsmen and the people I brought. They have been favored by us, and although they are not absolutely loyal, they will not betray them as long as we can give them a better life."
Yang Shu continued to nod.
"Those herdsmen cannot move. The racecourse in Gaotang is the foundation. No matter what the reason is, the racecourse must be preserved. Therefore, the only ones who can work now are the refugees who have signed the living contract."
Mingwei separated two piles of chess pieces and placed them on both sides.
"The Yang family will keep them for great use, so these people are the only ones we have left." She fiddled with them one by one, "There are still too few manpower!"
Ning Xiu said calmly: "You can't become fat with just one bite. When we first came here, we didn't even have a house to protect ourselves from the wind and rain. Now that we have food and shelter, we will have everything sooner or later."
Mingwei didn't expect that Ning Xiu's thoughts seemed to have changed in just one winter, and she looked at him several times in surprise.
Ning Xiu remained unmoved and said, "I'll go to the county town with Ah Xuan tomorrow."
Mingwei was even more surprised. It wasn't until Shi Shiran left that Yang Shu said, "When senior brother came, he saw the herdsmen huddled in the stable and seemed to be very angry."
"Oh..." I almost forgot, this is a true knight.
That's good, if he is willing to contribute, at least he can support Ah Xuan.
