Chapter 2 Encountering the old

The weather has entered autumn, and the thin morning light covers Yezhuang. The large-scale manor adds a bit of mystery to the morning mist.

In the gauze curtain, Ye Zhao looked at Xin'er, who was sleeping soundly like a kitten. Ye Zhao stroked her hair that was sticking to her temples with some pity. This unconscious action showed that the girl was extremely insecure in her heart.

Unexpectedly, it is reasonable. There is no resistance to becoming her own woman. In other words, the ending is actually destined from the moment she was adopted by the Ye family. As her personal maid, Xin'er is lucky and unfortunate. Luck is naturally because she is much luckier than many people who struggle to survive in this troubled world and struggle on the verge of food and clothing, but unfortunately because of this, she gives her life's freedom.

Ye Zhao is not a saint. As long as Xin'er does not reject him, he is happy to include this person who has served him since childhood in the room. There is no need to be unconventional. In fact, in the late stages of his previous life, the world has basically returned to the feudal era. Ye Zhao did not think about establishing equality between men and women here. It is unrealistic and unnecessary. Equality between men and women requires opportunities. It is achieved by the continuous promotion of the times and people's concepts, not to mention that it has nothing to do with himself.

Women in the Han Dynasty were considered happy. If it were in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it would be the darkest era for women.

"Young Master~" Ye Zhao's actions finally woke Xin'er up in bed. He opened his eyes and looked at Ye Zhao timidly, looking at Ye Zhao with a hint of at a loss, which made Ye Zhao a little funny.

"Call me husband in the future." Looking at the expectant, nervous and uneasy expression in the little girl's eyes, Ye Zhao stretched out and continued to cultivate her medicine baths and medicinal foods over the past three years. The prescriptions developed by medical scientists in the past are better than expected. Ye Zhao's current physical strength and qualities are far beyond ordinary people. Even if he is lingering all night, he is still full of energy.

"I dare not, I just want to be able to serve the young master forever, and I will be content." Xin'er was startled and shook her head quickly.

The title of husband is only a regular wife and a fair wife, but even a concubine is not allowed. Even if she is a maid, even if she is favored by Ye Zhao, she dare not overcome it at all. If one is not good, it may cause dissatisfaction from the future wife.

"Silly girl." Ye Zhao rubbed her head and smiled, "Stay for a while, I have to do a serious business."

"I serve the young master." Xin'er wanted to get up, but Ye Zhao pressed her back to the quilt, and she obediently exposed her little head. She peeked at Ye Zhao's clothes with curiosity and shyness, and walked out the door. Until Ye Zhao's back disappeared, she felt a little lost and stuffy into the quilt like an ostrich. There were some strange sounds coming from the quilt, a little like laughing, and a little like crying.

Ye Zhao felt a little strange about the sudden addition of a woman. He had never had women in his previous life, but before the end of the world, he was a genuine otaku who was not sympathetic. After the end of the world, his status became higher and higher, so naturally all kinds of women would come to him, and he could be considered half a veteran of flowers. But there was a rare feeling like today. After thinking about it, I am afraid that those women in his previous life rarely really regarded them as part of their lives.

Shaking his head, throwing away these strange thoughts, and seeing Uncle Liang approaching him with a smile. For some reason, Ye Zhao always felt that Uncle Liang's smile today was a bit obscene.

"Young Master, the gifts I gave to the envoy are ready. In addition to Mr. Cai's annotations, there are also some gifts for gifts to the envoy's family. They are not expensive, but they are quite interesting." Uncle Liang smiled at Ye Zhao.

"Well, let Qiu Chi and Ding Li follow me to see you." Ye Zhao nodded. Although Qiu Chi was not among the gentry, he had a good knowledge. Although Ding Li was not very knowledgeable, he was better because he was less talkative. Moreover, he had been tempered in the army for three years and felt a sense of stability. Ye Zhao's only men were suitable for these formal occasions. Guan Hai was too reckless, and Meng Hu was full of a ranger temperament, which was not suitable for these formal scenes.

"Here." Uncle Liang nodded and was about to inform the two of them.

"Also..." Ye Zhao thought for a while, called Uncle Liang and said, "Prepare two maids for Xin'er."

Uncle Liang's smile even more, he nodded and went to help Ye Zhao prepare something for his trip.

In addition to the current prefect Zhang Huai of Hanoi, some Hanoi families also have to visit, such as the Sima family in Wen County. The head of the Sima family is appointed as Jingzhao Yin. The Sima family's portal is more than one level higher than the Ye family. Before Ye Zhao took office, he was afraid he didn't even have the qualifications to visit others. Although Ye Zhao did not say that he had achieved success, he was still worthy of his family style and had a reputation. Since he came back, the Sima family must visit him.

In the next few days, Ye Zhao almost spent all the counties in Hanoi, which was also a way to expand his connections. After all, in this era, local feelings are very important.

Five days later, on Huai County, on the post road, Ye Zhao and his team slowly advanced. They ran around for five days. All the people who should visit in Hanoi also visited. Ye Zhao was about to set off tomorrow and go to Suiyang to take office.

"Master, why do you feel that visiting these people is more tiring than fighting a war?" Ding Li rubbed his face. Even though he rarely spoke, he felt a little overwhelmed by just following Ye Zhao these days. Sometimes, even though Ye Zhao was obviously higher than the other party, he still had to look humble in front of some old guys, which made Ding Li feel very uncomfortable.

"Learn more about Qiu Chi, this kind of thing will be indispensable in the future." Ye Zhao shook his head. China has been a human relationship society since ancient times. Only by being able to do without connections can one go far, especially when he needs connections and reputation the most, such things will be indispensable in the future.

"Lord, next time I visit, can I let Guan Hai or Meng Hu accompany you? I want to take a break." Ding Li said with lingering fear.

"I'm not relieved to take them there." Ye Zhao shook his head. It's okay for Hanoi to be a fellow villager. Even if the family is the highest, as long as you can enter, you will rarely give you a look. But it will be different after you arrive in the Central Plains. If you really take Guan Hai and Meng Hu, maybe you will cause trouble for yourself at any time.

"Look, lord!" Seeing that Huai County was already looking away, Ding Li suddenly pointed at a woodcutter on the street and said in surprise.
