Chapter 56: Sister Zhao Ji, a real scholar, really simple
Early in the morning, Lu Yu felt a little pain in his back. He admitted that last night... he was careless. With all three, he was really no match!
However, I am still very grateful to these three anonymous "maids" who sacrificed their young bodies for Lu Yu's posture reserves, ah, it's knowledge reserves.
Of course, young masters in ancient times were like this. This kind of thing is ordinary. Teaching and enlightenment are far more important than practice.
Pushing open the door, the first ray of sunlight shone on Lu Yu's cheek, making it dazzling.
After rubbing his sleepy eyes, Lu Yu saw Sister Zhaoji walking towards him.
"Brother Lu Yu seems to have no energy..." Cai Zhaoji said with a smile...
Energy, haha... Lu Yu just said "haha", he promised... If Cai Zhaoji was in there last night, she would be even less energetic than herself now. She still has this confidence.
"Sister Zhaoji, what's that..." Lu Yu hesitated, and for a moment, he felt that he was really thin-skinned and would blush when he told his sister such a thing.
"What?" Cai Zhaoji blinked with big eyes. She didn't think anything. After all... this arrangement between her and her brother Cao Gong was mentioned in the book.
"Sister Zhaoji, from now on...one will be enough." Lu Yu did not speak too plainly.
Everyone who understands understands.
He is still a fifteen-year-old child. It is the time when his body is growing. He cannot consume too much or exert too much force. What if his nutrition cannot keep up?
Of course, men of this age tend to be lively and lively, so it should not be a big problem, but... as a man of two generations, Lu Yu knew that there was still a long way to go, so there was no need to overdraft in advance on a group of maids filling houses.
"Oh..." Cai Zhaoji scratched her head. "Sister thought that if we were to have a threesome together, we must have my teacher, so the 'Zhou Gong's Ceremony' was also arranged to be a threesome..."
After saying this, Lu Yu suddenly felt three black lines on his forehead.
He sighed in his heart - he didn't know whether Sister Zhaoji was a true academic master or a pure person, but Sister Zhaoji's arithmetic must have been taught by her physical education teacher, and Shen Te Miao's threesome must have been taught by me.
Last night, it was obviously a party of four!
"Ahem..." He coughed lightly, "Sister Zhaoji, from now on... forget it..."
If you talk to a simple girl about this kind of thing, you probably won't be able to come up with anything, unless you teach her by words and deeds.
Simply, Lu Yu avoided the topic. "Sister Zhaoji, I'm a little hungry. Is there breakfast?"
Aren't you hungry...
Anyone who works hard all night will feel hungry. Not only will they be hungry, but they will also have back pain!
"It was prepared early in the morning. Mr. Wei was worried that there would be no delicious meals in the new house, so he personally delivered a table..."
Speaking of this, Cai Zhaoji suddenly thought of something. "Also... General Cao Xiu is also here, with three lieutenants. He said he has urgent military affairs to report to you... He has been waiting in the main hall for an hour."
Oh...military affairs?
Speaking of which, ever since Cao Xiu followed him with these thousand knights, Lu Yu has basically been freeing them. Cao Xiu can practice as much as he likes. Anyway, Lu Yu knows nothing about training soldiers and horses, so he can't be of much help.
As for urgent military affairs? Their most important task is to protect their own safety...Besides, what else is worth reporting?
Lu Yu couldn't figure it out, but...it's already here, it's time to report it.
"Sister Zhaoji, let Cao Xiu and several lieutenants go to the dining hall..."
"Okay!" Cai Zhaoji agreed, and the maid behind her went to pass the message, while she held Lu Yu's hand.
A pair of siblings walked slowly towards the dining hall.
…
The table in the dining hall was filled with dishes. Different from the sheep, dogs and deer in the Wei Mansion last time...this time there was beef. Lu Yu loved beef the most.
In the Han Dynasty, killing cows was not allowed. After all, cows are farmers’ best friends. If you eat one cow, you will save hundreds of acres of land!
However, I heard from Wei Hong that the cow in front of him was a stupid cow. He accidentally hit his neck on the knife and killed himself. He had no choice but to stew it and eat it...
For a moment, Lu Yu felt that although such stupid cows were stupid, they were very knowledgeable and cute. He could meet more of them in the future.
"It's not easy to find a 'stupid cow'. Mr. Wei even made a special trip to bring it to brother Lu Yu. Cai Yan would like to thank Mr. Wei on behalf of his brother..."
Sister Zhaoji saluted Wei Hong. In his opinion, Wei Hong really had nothing to say to them.
"...Miss Zhaoji is the elder sister of Mr. Lu Yu. I can't afford this gift! Haha..." Wei Hong replied with a smile as he curled up his beard.
"Sister Zhaoji, Mr. Wei... hurry up and eat beef!" Lu Yu put a huge piece of beef into Cai Zhaoji's bowl. Although beef is not like pig's feet or chicken feet, it is rich in colloid, which can quickly stimulate the growth of certain parts of the body.
The growth...however, there is still some protein, which is better than nothing.
Lu Yu murmured in his heart, Sister Zhaoji, you have to grow up quickly!
at this time…
Four burly men walked quickly into the dining hall.
"Master Lu, Mr. Wei, Miss Cai!"
Lu Yu raised his eyes, but instead of the newly promoted Yamen general Cao Xiu, who else could he be?
"Greetings to Master Lu, greetings to Mr. Wei, and greetings to Miss Cai!" The three strong men behind Cao Xiu also saluted.
"You're welcome, brothers." Lu Yu waved his hand, indicating that they would not be polite. He didn't really like these etiquettes and found them verbose, but in this day and age, just do as the Romans do.
"General Cao came so early, but what's the important thing?" Lu Yu asked...
Cao Xiu and the three lieutenants were about to answer, but when they looked up, they first smelled the rich aroma of meat, and then, they saw sumptuous dishes in front of them.
Immediately, tears of disappointment flowed from the corners of his mouth.
Naturally, this look could not escape Lu Yu's gaze.
"General Cao, how many generals? Haven't you had breakfast? Come, let's eat together?" Lu Yu greeted...
Cai Zhaoji stood up and personally placed the dishes and chopsticks for them... "You're welcome, generals. They are all members of your family. Don't be restrained."
"I don't dare." Cao Xiu didn't dare to eat at the same table with Lu Yu, Cai Zhaoji, and Wei Hong, so he quickly handed over and postponed it.
The other three lieutenants also handed over their hands and subconsciously took a step back. However, the grins at the corners of their mouths had revealed that they were very hungry!
Lu Yu thought, this is not right. In the military camp, although it is not possible to have three meals a day or four meals a day like Lu Yu, at least two meals a day can still be guaranteed.
It’s unlikely that Lao Cao deducted military rations from these more than a thousand brothers, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Yu frowned.
"General Cao, tell me the truth? But Duke Cao withheld your army rations?"
"You as generals and centurions are so hungry, what about the soldiers below? Aren't they going to be starved of food?"
"In the end what happened?"
this…
When Lu Yu asked this, Cao Xiu and the three lieutenants looked at each other.
These words... it was the "urgent military affairs" they came here to report to Lu Yu.
Last night, one thousand of their brothers received ten days of rations. Logically speaking, this is a normal thing.
But... they were told that this was the food for their legion for the next two months, and they were asked to find ways to raise the rest...
And the reason…
This is because Yanzhou's military rations need to be allocated to hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou soldiers and their millions of dependents.
Nowadays, the Yanzhou granary is stretched thin and is about to be empty. Not only Cao Xiu's heroic cavalry, but also other officers and soldiers, even the Qingzhou soldiers, also only receive ten days of rations and have to last for two months.
Now, throughout Yanzhou, the three armies are in turmoil, people's hearts are floating, and the military's morale is in chaos!
