Zhou Xian slept a little late the next day and waited until the sun rose before getting up. Jinse brought a basin of clear water. He washed his face casually and wiped it with a towel. He felt that his head was still a little confused, so he sat in the chair and napped.

Jinse opened the window, and the warm sunshine shone on her body, but she didn't feel warm, because from time to time, a cool breeze blew, making people realize that autumn had arrived. The sycamore tree that was directly opposite the yard of the window had begun to fall leaves, and a golden piece fell on the ground, and a servant was cleaning there with a broom.

The servant turned his back to Zhou Xian, and he probably didn't look old. He wore a blue short-shot and covered a coarse cloth vest on the outside. Because he was short and the vest was too wide, every time he waved, he caused the entire sleeve to be blown up by the wind, which looked very funny.

When he turned around, Zhou Xian realized that the man was Chen Feng. His face looked a little strange, and he turned to Jinse and asked, "Jinse, how did my elder brother arrange Chen Feng and his brother and sister?"

Jinse said with a puzzled face: "Second Young Master, who is Chen Feng?"

Zhou Xian pointed to the outside and said, "It's that, his name is Chen Feng."

Jinse looked out the window and then smiled faintly, "Second Young Master, you are talking about him! The eldest young master temporarily arranged for him to work in the kitchen, but I don't know why he was sweeping the floor outside at this moment? His sister is still young, so the eldest young master left it to his wife, so she doesn't have to do anything for the time being."

Jinse did not continue on this topic and said, "Second Young Master, are you hungry? Do you want me to bring the breakfast now!"

Zhou Xian nodded and smiled, "I'm a little hungry. You probably haven't eaten yet! Bring a little more here. On the way back, I also called Chen Feng over. I have something to tell him."

Jinse responded and turned around and walked out the door.

Zhou Xian asked Jinse and Chen Feng to accompany him to have dinner. Jinse had long been used to Zhou Xian's casualness and was not polite to him at all. Chen Feng was a little cramped and sat there chewing steamed buns. Only after Zhou Xian reminded him from time to time, he occasionally picked up some vegetables with chopsticks.

"Chen Feng, your actions the day before yesterday saved the lives of the people in the city. I will thank you very much. But at present, Wuyang City is still surrounded by bandits, so I can only talk about this later. At present, the Zhou house is relatively safe. If you want, stay here for the time being. However, you are not a servant of my Zhou family. As long as the bandits retreat, you can leave at any time. Do you know this?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "My benefactor, I understand everything you said. I am willing to stay here."

Zhou Xian waved his hand and smiled, "Don't make a decision in such a hurry. You are still young and still bring your sister with you. I also hope you can stay here in my heart, because this can at least ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. But in the Zhou family, although you are not a servant, it is not the case to outsiders. This psychological feeling will make many people unable to accept it. Therefore, I am willing to provide you with another option."

Chen Feng frowned slightly and said, "My benefactor, please tell me."

"Fifty-two silver patterns are rewards for what you did that day. They are enough to allow you and your sister to go anywhere and live a pretty good life for a while. If you choose to leave, I will ask the accountant to immediately withdraw the fifty-two silver patterns to you. If you finally choose to stay here, just leave this batch of silver temporarily. When you are fourteen years old, you will return it to you. During this period, if you start to choose to stay here, but later find that it is not very good, you can leave at any time, and you can take the fifty-two silver patterns together."

After hearing this, Chen Feng's face was full of excitement. Fifty taels of silver were a huge sum of money, enough for him and his sister to eat meat every day for a whole year. But after the excitement, he fell into a long silence. His brows were frowning high and his face was gloomy.

Zhou Xian didn't urge him, letting him think slowly.

Chen Feng lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally turned to Zhou Xian and said, "My benefactor, I am only eight years old at the moment, and my sister is five years old. If we both bring such a huge sum of money, I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster. I am willing to obey my benefactor's arrangements and stay here, and when I turn fourteen, I will take the money away. But benefactor, when I stay in the Zhou family, can I share my room alone, even a woodshed? I want to stay with my sister, and I promised my father to take good care of her. If it doesn't work, you will deduct the fifty taels of silver and just think it is the cost of my stay in a hotel. Also, I hope to follow my benefactor in the future."

Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "Are you afraid that I will rely on your debt?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Chen Feng believes in benefactor. The reason why I want to follow my benefactor is that one day I hope to repay my benefactor's kindness, and the other is that I feel that I can learn a lot from my benefactor."

Zhou Xian nodded, feeling very satisfied with Chen Feng's performance. At a young age, if you have such thoughts, you will definitely be extraordinary in the future. He looked at Chen Feng and said, "Okay, I promise you. When I take the time, I will tell my elder brother."

Chen Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "My benefactor, how did you deal with the people in Wuhou Temple?"

"Don't worry, I didn't kill them. I temporarily brought them to the village chariot group to help carry stones, roll wood, eat and drink, and never starve them to death. When the bandits retreat, they will be let go."

Chen Feng looked happy, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhou Xian: "Thank you, mercy."

When Chen Feng left, Zhou Xian looked at Jinse who was packing the dishes and said, "Jinse, you will pick a few clothes I have worn later and send them to Chen Feng. I am not much older than him, and he should be wearing the same clothes."

Jinse looked up and asked, "Second Young Master, why are you so nice to him?"

Zhou Xianxiao said, "I like people who are kind to you. If he is kind to me, I will naturally be kind to him."

Jinse's face was stunned, and she didn't understand very much.

Zhou Xian waved to her and said, "Jinse, come here."

When Jinse approached, Zhou Xian took out the hairpin from her arms and inserted it into her cloudy temples. He smiled slightly and said, "Just like this, you are good to me, I will be nice to you."

After saying that, Zhou Xian clapped his hands, stood up and took a closer look and said, "It looks pretty. I'm going to see Inspection Yuan today, so I don't have to wait for me for dinner."

Jinse's face turned slightly red. Looking at Zhou Xian's back as she was gone, her eyes were filled with emotion. She took off the hairpin from her temples, which was transparent and very beautiful.

Zhou Xian went to the northern city to find Yuan Cheng, who was extremely excited for the money Zhang Hu sent. Seeing Zhou Xian, he showed twelve minutes of enthusiasm. But after hearing Zhou Xian's proposal to attack the city, he was shocked at first. However, after Zhou Xian explained in detail, although he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, he reluctantly agreed. He quickly summoned the chiefs of the city guarding the city to discuss how to act in the evening.
