Chapter 127 Who Teaches Whom to Be a Man
Counting the days, it’s only a little over a month away from the New Year.
Mu Rong's injuries have almost healed thanks to Shu Qing's skillful hands and the bitter medicine.
Of course, more importantly, since he couldn't see Xu Rongrong, he had no intention of staying in his old home in the Luo family courtyard.
In order to stay away from Mu Rong completely, Xu Rongrong went to Yaju the day after he "woken up". In this way, no matter how Mu Lu came to complain about her misery, she would not see it or be bothered by it.
Wen Yao has been recuperating in Yaju these days due to a neck injury. With Xu Rongrong by his side, the master and servant have some free time.
The Yuzhou prefect, Wu Mingshi, had been showing even more courtesy these days. The abduction of the county lady from the mansion he had arranged for her would have meant dismissal from office! Consequently, he now viewed the elegant residence as the apple of his eye. Not only was it heavily guarded, both overtly and covertly, but he also visited her twice daily, morning and evening, with even greater respect than he would show his parents at home.
Even though the governor of Jiangnan Road stayed in Yuzhou for the past two days, he did not forget to send good things to Yajuli like water while dealing with the bad-tempered governor.
This is how Wen Yao got the bunch of grapes in his hand.
The little girl smiled as she ate: "Miss, try it. These winter grapes are rare and sweet."
Xu Rongrong leaned on the couch and flipped through a book: "You eat it, it will be difficult to eat it when you return to Beijing."
Wen Yao smiled and said, "Yes! As soon as I, the fake county lady, leave Yuzhou City, my skin will be peeled off. Forget eating grapes. I'm afraid I will be beaten into a grape."
Xu Rongrong smiled, picked up a grape and stuffed it into her mouth: "Stop talking nonsense, eat it quickly!"
Wen Yao puffed up his cheeks and said vaguely, "If Luo Shu knew about my current life, he would probably be very envious." "She is living a very leisurely life in the mansion now." Xu Rongrong smiled. Although the capital was far away from here, letters would be sent every once in a while.
Although Xu Chaoqian's injury has not healed, given his rank, it is absolutely impossible for him to rest for three to five months. Last month, he limped back to the Ministry of Works to do his work. Luo Shu was in charge of Wutong Courtyard alone, living a life behind closed doors, and had a lot of free time.
Chu Yun was very well behaved and took his medicine on time every day. He had recovered long ago. The boy was in the period of growth and in just a few months, he was already as tall as Luo Shu.
The little guy is smart but has work in his eyes. He takes the initiative to act as Luo Shu's little helper every day.
This made Luo Shu's originally leisurely days even more leisurely.
Every time Xu Rongrong saw news from the capital, her lips were filled with smiles.
"Miss, do you want to go back to the capital?" Wen Yao asked.
Xu Rongrong put down the book and looked up: "Of course I have to go back now. There are still some unfinished business in the capital."
Her gaze lingered for a moment on Wen Yao's scar that had just healed.
At the very least, she cannot let Lin Jiaoyue, who hurt Wen Yao, go.
While the master and servant were talking, there was a commotion outside the yard.
"A mere guard actually dared to touch the bows and arrows of our army! Is this how Magistrate Wu can handle it?" A sharp male voice suddenly rang out.
Xu Rongrong felt a little strange. The elegant residence was surrounded tightly by the prefect Wu Mingshi. How could someone break into the yard?
She stood up and went out with Wen Yao to check.
Passing through the porch connecting to the inner courtyard is the second courtyard of Yaju. Usually, this is where the "maid" Xu Rongrong lived. Because Magistrate Wu thought she was a favorite of the county lord, he had people serve her carefully.
There had never been so many people in the yard. Xu Rongrong saw Chu He, holding a worn-out wooden bow. Ever since he suddenly disappeared a few days ago and returned, he had been practicing archery away from the crowd. This old bow in his hand was also picked up from discarded military equipment.
Opposite him stood a man who looked like a sergeant, with his head held high, a full beard and a look of contempt.
"What happened?" Xu Rongrong walked to Chu He.
Without waiting for Chu He to answer, Magistrate Wu on the side said with a smile on his face, "It's just a small misunderstanding. Guard Chu and the Right Governor had a dispute over a trivial matter."
"Misunderstanding?" The Right General sneered. "How dare a lowly guard like him touch the bows and arrows of our army? This is a capital crime punishable by the death penalty!"
"It's not that serious." Magistrate Wu said with an apologetic smile, "Besides, the bow in Guard Chu's hand is old, it was discarded by the army."
"Even if we smash the things in our army and burn them as firewood, we can't just give them to a worthless person."
After the Right Governor finished speaking, Xu Rongrong's expression changed. She stood in front of Chu He and said, "Waste? In the eyes of the Governor, the county lady's personal guard is actually waste? Your Excellency really has very high standards."
"What about the county lady's guards?" the Right General sneered. "They're just guarding a woman. How can they use the weapons of the soldiers who protect the people of the Great Zhou?"
"Isn't the county lady a citizen of the Great Zhou?" Xu Rongrong glared at him.
"Isn't the county lady worth protecting?"
"I'd rather burn discarded weapons as firewood than continue to use them as weapons. Is this how you usually manage your troops, Lord Governor?"
Right Governor: “…”
How come the little maidservant beside the county lady is so eloquent?
How could he, a military commander, be defeated by a woman? So he pretended to be tough and said, "What does a mere guard like him know about archery? He just jumped around the county lady a few times to scare her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu He walked out from behind Xu Rongrong and said, "Since the commander-in-chief said so, I think you must be an expert in archery. Would you like to compete with a small guard like me?"
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Wu hurried forward to dissuade him. He lowered his voice and said, "Guard Chu absolutely cannot do this. The Right Governor is a master archer. You are no match for him. Besides, he is known for his violent temper. If you anger him, even the county lord won't be able to protect you."
Chu He smiled faintly: "Oh? Could it be that once the commander-in-chief loses, he will become angry and humiliated?"
Seeing that Chu He had misinterpreted his meaning, Magistrate Wu was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
He didn't want to cause any more trouble on his territory, so he tried to persuade him again, only to hear the Right Governor-General explode in anger: "You are unreasonable! Today, this Governor-General will teach you a lesson!"
"If you have the guts, let's have a showdown in front of the government office!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked out.
Chu He followed without any hesitation.
Everyone in the yard followed him out.
For those who like to watch, this is a rare good show.
Wen Yao was a little nervous. He quickly came over and grabbed Xu Rongrong's arm, whispering, "What should we do? That Right Governor looks like he's very skilled in martial arts."
Xu Rongrong smiled and patted her hands: "It's okay, who knows who will teach whom a lesson later."
After saying that, she pulled Wen Yao and walked out: "Let's go and watch the fun."
