The lights were just on, and the lights in the provincial governor's mansion were dim, and warriors covered with armor were patrolling and shuttled from time to time.

The maid took Yuan Mai to an elegant house and said, "The master is waiting for the young master. The young master invites him in, and the little maid takes his leave."

Yuan Mai sorted out his clothes and knocked on the door gently: "My father, don't you know what to call a child?"

"Is Xianyong here? Come in."

Yuan Mai gently pushed open the door and bowed to Yuan Shao. At this moment, Yuan Shao was sitting in casual clothes at the table to review the memorials.

"My father, I don't know what instructions do you have to summon your child?" Yuan Mai asked carefully.

"Nothing else, I want to ask you that this time this battle is the first time in your life, but what are your requirements?"

Yuan Shao put down the brush in his hand and asked with a kind face.

"The child has no requirements, but he is a little worried about Qu Yi. If he doesn't obey..."

Yuan Mai actually wanted to say that I wanted to recruit a personal soldier team of my own, but I was afraid that I would be rejected if I said it directly, so I brought it up indirectly.

Yuan Shao stared out the window, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What you said is a bit reasonable. Qu Yi is arrogant and sometimes he doesn't take his father seriously, let alone you. Although you are the military supervisor, if you have a conflict, you are the commander and the military supervisor. I am afraid that those lieutenants will not know who to help. In this way, I will ask your third brother to distribute 500 people to your personal guards and accept your orders alone, so that you will not be afraid that Qu Yi will take over the leader."

Yuan Mai was very happy when he heard this. Then he thought about it and suggested: "My father, my third brother has assigned 10,000 people to Qu Yi, and I feel unhappy. The child doesn't want to ask him for someone anymore. Please ask my father for your kindness and let me recruit 500 people by myself."

If Yuan Shang had a trustee in my personal soldiers, wouldn’t he be in control of all my every move? If it was not done well, it would be impossible for him to move his head when he was sleeping that day.

"Okay, it's still good to be thoughtful. My father will allow you to come out of the list tomorrow to recruit soldiers."

Yuan Shao stroked his beard and agreed to Yuan Mai's request.

Yuan Mai was overjoyed and bowed to Yuan Shao again, "Thank you, my father."

After talking about the main topic, the father and son chatted for a few more words. Yuan Shao repeatedly warned Yuan Mai to listen to Qu Yi during war. This guy has two tricks to use military force, but he must be judged in the general direction. As long as Qu Yi showed his intention to plot against him, he would cut him off on the spot.

Yuan Mai repeatedly agreed. With Yuan Shao's words, it was equivalent to having the Shangfang sword. Qu Yi, this guy, honestly followed him and would not treat him badly. Once he wanted to take over the enemy and pee on his head, he would kill him without hesitation!

Seeing that Yuan Shao had many memorials not reviewed, Yuan Mai stood up and said goodbye, excitedly left the study room, and then prepared to visit Zheng's courtyard.

The winding paths are secluded, and after several corridors, an elegant courtyard house is the residence of Zheng.

Because Yuan Shao favored her, Zheng's living conditions were second only to his wife Liu. He usually had six maids to serve their mother and daughter's daily life, and he could also receive a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan every month. Of course, this was only given to her by Liu. In addition, Yuan Shao often gave Zheng Yu some precious jewelry and jade on his back, so the family lived a comfortable life.

"Hehe... Brother Amai, you are here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

As soon as Yuan Mai walked to the front of the yard, he saw a little girl with braids playing in front of the door. A maid was accompanying him. Seeing Yuan Mai's figure, the girl got up and said something that surprised Yuan Mai.

"A Ying, don't call Brother Amai in the future. You should call me fourth brother." Yuan Mai caressed the little girl's head and said in a pretensely angry manner.

Every time I hear the name "Amai", Yuan Mai will think of the word "Wu Xia Ameng". I don't know if Lu Meng is still the "Wu Xia Ameng", but now I am no longer the "Ye Xia Ameng" that I was yesterday.

This little girl is so cute. Although she has been in this world for a short time, Yuan Mai already loves this sister very much.

The little girl's name is Yuan Ying, she is seven years old this year and is Yuan Shao's youngest daughter. She is lively and cute, with fair skin, and a pair of watery eyes, which is clearer than the spring water. When she smiles, she reveals two little tiger teeth, which is very cute.

Every time Yuan Mai saw this little girl, he would sigh in his heart, "What a beauty." If this little girl wasn't my sister, she would have chased her when she grew up.

"No, no, I'm going to call Brother Amai. A Tan and the others asked me to call Brother Amai, the second brother, the third brother, it sounds so ugly, and they all stared at their eyes and blew their beards, which was scary. It's better, hello Brother Amai, often making Yingying happy..."

After hearing Yuan Mai's words, the little girl stopped working and pouted her mouth and protested.

Yuan Mai had no choice but to pick up the little girl and kiss her white-cut little face: "Okay, okay, brother has lost to you, just call it whatever you want!"

"Hehe... I'll be good at this, Yingying kisses Brother Amai too." The little girl smiled sweetly and kissed Yuan Mai's face.

After kissing, he wiped his mouth and muttered: "The stinky beard is so stung!"

Yuan Mai laughed silently. Is this beard just sprouting? If he traveled through time, he would not be called a "stinky beard" by women every day.

"By the way, A Ying, you said you have been waiting for me for a long time. Is this true? Who told you that I will come tonight?" Yuan Mai asked in confusion, holding A Ying.

"Of course it's my mother. Who else is so smart except her?" The little girl pinched the tie rope in her hand and said confidently.

Yuan Mai nodded and said nothing, but thought to himself that Zheng Yu was extremely smart and seemed to be very clever. Since she could guess that I would come to visit her, I was afraid that most of them would guess my purpose.

At this time, a maid walked out of the yard and bowed to Yuan Mai: "Madam, I heard you speak, Master, please let me invite you into the house to speak."

Yuan Mai agreed, put Aying on the ground, coaxed her a few words, then got up and followed the maid into the yard, then stopped at the door, and called softly: "Mother, Mait, thank you for your help at today's banquet."

The door of the room creaked open, and Zheng smiled and greeted him, saying that I am a mother, I should do it, so I don’t have to be polite to Mai'er, and then he let Yuan Mai into the guest room.

Zheng's guest rooms are very elegantly decorated, with round tables, round stools, and wooden tables. The room with four candles shines brightly, just like daytime.

Yuan Mai sat on the round stool and looked at Zheng Yu with a smile. She saw that her hair was wet and emitting a faint fragrance of flowers. It was obvious that she had just washed her hair or had taken a shower.

Women are naturally beautiful and have never changed. The weather is getting warmer, and the young and beautiful Zheng can't help but take off his thick winter clothes and put on bright and beautiful spring clothes. His proud figure is faintly visible under the green long skirt.

At this moment, under the candlelight, Zheng, who was emitting a fragrance, had a unique charm. Yuan Mai couldn't help but be beating his heart. In an instant, a blush flew on his face. He hurriedly chanted "Don't look at it if you are not polite" in his heart, and hurriedly moved his eyes away from Zheng's body.

Zheng Yu, who was twenty-five or six years old, had a very old age that was not consistent with her age. She seemed not to pay attention to Yuan Mai's performance, or had noticed that he pretended not to see it. He ordered the maid to make tea and sat opposite Yuan Mai and chatted with her.

Yuan Mai thanked Zheng Yu again, and Zheng Yu smiled again and said you should be welcome. Then he congratulated Yuan Mai, who was enthroned for the position of Dianxue today, and no one in the entire mansion dared to underestimate A Mai again in the future.

"Isn't all this a blessing to my mother. If my mother hadn't asked me to sit down, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be qualified to drink at the banquet, so how could my father be appointed as the official?"

Yuan Mai took the tea cup in his hand and took a sip, pretending to be "not squinting". Facing this "mother" who is only eight or nine years older than him, he felt indescribable awkward.

Zheng Yu smiled and said, "Don't say that, Maier, you deserve it all. You get it with your own talent. Even without my help today, your talent will shine in the future. The poem you wrote is so good. My mother, I can't put it down!"

"My mother has gone too far!"

Yuan Mai smiled and said modestly. It was uncomfortable to chat with such a young and beautiful stepmother, but his name was not very good. A young woman who was a few years older than him, "buy" one by one, was really uncomfortable!

But then I thought about it, Yuan Mai was at least better than Yuan Mai. The name was Mai, at least it proved that he still had surplus and had the ability to buy. If he called Yuan Mai, he wouldn't be "Shier"?

Who knew that Zheng Yu had sobbed as he said: "I had known Maier that you were talented, but it was a pity that Liu Jiao's wife always bullies you. My sisters and I dare not speak out... We had been determined to stand up for you, but we didn't dare to offend her."

"Maybe it is exactly what the ancients said, that if God is about to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first work hard and starve his body. Haha... I will regard this as God's tempering for me."

Yuan Maihan smiled and took a sip of tea. I don’t know what Zheng said.

But Zheng did not take what Yuan Mai said and continued: "The reason why I dared to miss this woman's intention today is to go against her wishes and let you sit next to my mother, because her mother entrusts all the future of me and Aying to you..."

Zheng Yu Lihua said with rain, and got up and wanted to buy kowtow for Yuan.
