"Do you like it?"

Zhao Xiaoya nodded and tried to shake it, but to no avail.

With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Yitian took the handle and threw it to the side, causing the stone table in the small courtyard to crack.

Grandma Xia felt distressed after looking at it. Who did this good thing offend?

Zhao Xiaoya opened her mouth slightly, looked at the stone table, then at the whip, and finally looked at Zhou Yitian with admiration, "Brother is so awesome."

"Of course." Zhao Xiaoya's words always amused Zhou Yitian, and he had just left the Kunyang Marquis Mansion, "Take it here for you to play with."

Zhou Yue on the side was slightly shocked when he heard this. Regardless of whether this was a family law of the Hou family, it was just a gift from the emperor, and it was given out so casually...

But seeing his master happy, he couldn't say much.

Aunt Xia sighed softly, stepped forward and said, "Master, it's cold, please go inside."

Zhou Yitian took Zhao Xiaoya's hand and went directly into the house.

A few servants looked at me well, and in a blink of an eye, they tidied up the hall and brought hot water and tea sets.

"They became more restrained as soon as you came back." Zhao Xiaoya said with a smile: "Just now we were eating pot in the hall, enjoying ourselves."

Zhou Yitian has long been accustomed to the respectful attitude of everyone. There is a difference between master and servant, but the rules that should be established in front of him should still be established.

As for Zhao Xiaoya, he knew her temper well. As long as these slaves stayed calm and did not show any disrespect to her, he would choose to turn a blind eye and let her make trouble.

"Does this mean I shouldn't come back?"

Zhou Yitian looked scary when he was serious. If Zhao Xiaoya didn't know his temper well, she would be like everyone else.

She shook her head, noticing the bruises under his eyes, and her heart softened, "It's time, this is our first year together, and I want you to stay with me."

Her frankness made him raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and he raised his hand to make everyone retreat.

Zhao Xiaoya put the nine-section whip aside.

Zhou Yitian watched Zhao Xiaoya, who was sitting in front of him, brewing a pot of tea smoothly. This girl was a fast learner. After just a short time, she was already good at making tea.

Grandma Xia immediately asked the others to step back, and she took a few steps back towards the door. But suddenly she remembered something, stopped, and spoke bravely, "I'm brave, I have something to report."

Zhou Yitian withdrew his gaze from Zhao Xiaoya and looked at Aunt Xia.

"I asked the doctor to check her pulse yesterday. The girl is well."

Zhou Yitian responded lightly, he already knew about this.

Aunt Xia thought about it for a moment, and stared at the master's room for several days. She could see that although the two of them shared the same bed, they only slept on the same bed and did not do anything extraordinary. However, they were not married yet, so the reputation of the girl's family was always bad.

"I think the girl needs to move her place?"

Zhou Yitian raised his eyebrows with a slightly cold expression.

Grandma Xia was startled. Just as she was about to speak, Zhao Xiaoya said, "Mammy, I was ill a few days ago and wanted to move. I was afraid that I would give it to my brother after I got over the illness, but my brother didn't agree. Now that I'm better, there's no need to move."

Seeing the smile on Zhao Xiaoya's face, Grandma Xia sighed in her heart, "Girl, this rule——"

"I have the final say." He interrupted Grandma Xia directly.

Nanny Xia immediately fell silent. Zhuangzi's master was Zhou Yitian, and it was indeed him who had the final say. She suddenly felt that her worries were serious.

Laughing, "I understand, it's just that... the girl is still young."

Zhou Yitian heard the hidden meaning of Nanny Xia's unspoken words, and looked at her with slightly warm eyes. It was very similar to his grandfather's heart to protect Xiaoya. Even if he went to Mobei, with Nanny Xia around, he should be able to rest assured.

"I know, I will wait until we get married."

Grandma Xia felt relieved and retreated.

No matter how stupid Zhao Xiaoya was, she could still understand the meaning of Aunt Xia's words. She was a little uncomfortable. When she met Zhou Yitian, she was too used to following his thoughts. As long as he spoke, she would always listen obediently and never thought about the opinions of others.

Zhou Yitian pinched her nose and said, "Don't think nonsense. When the New Year is over, I will go to the guard camp in the capital. I won't have many days to come back. I will leave Zhou Yue here. If you have anything to do, let Zhou Yue take care of it."

Sure enough, as soon as he said it, Zhao Xiaoya stopped worrying about what Nanny Xia said, "There are enough slaves in Zhuangzi. Only when Zhou Yue follows you can I rest assured."

Even when she traveled far away to Mobei in her previous life, Zhou Yue was always by Zhou Yitian's side. She didn't want him to leave her behind and let things change in the slightest.

Zhou Yitian didn't want her to worry, so he didn't persist.

In her previous life, Zhao Xiaoya was particularly concerned about Zhou Yitian's affairs. She knew that he would stay in the guard camp for more than half a year when he first joined the army. By this time next year, he would be stationed in Mobei with General Wei. Two years later, he would become famous in the first battle. Five years later, he would return in triumph. Seven years later, he would lead troops to join the current emperor's personal expedition. Nine years later, he would be an extraordinary general. He would be appointed to the imperial palace and receive a purple ribbon and gold medal.

He is no longer an ordinary man, but step by step he has become a decisive and killing general.

She looked into his focused eyes with a smile. She was not indifferent to the future separation, but she just didn't want to be a burden to him.

"Try it." She put the tea in front of him and looked at him with bright eyes.

He took a sip and said, "Excellent."

She smiled and said, "I'm afraid if it's not good, my brother will say yes."

Zhou Yitian did not deny this, he held her on his lap and shared a cup with her.

It's snowing heavily outside, but the time inside is quiet.

Chapter 12 Want to make money for him (1)

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Yitian took Zhao Xiaoya into the city the day before entering the guard camp.

After entering the city gate, Zhao Xiaoya sat obediently in the carriage and was not curious about the excitement outside the carriage. After all, she had stayed in the capital for several years in her previous life, so she was really not curious.

But after getting off the carriage, her eyes flickered when she saw the wine fluttering in front of her.

Taibai Tower, she stayed in this restaurant for many years in her previous life.The location here is excellent, on the lively Zhuque Street. The owner of the restaurant is a harmonious person, and has contacts with people from all walks of life, but he has never been a great boss to his employees.

When Zhao Xiaoya saw Zhou Yitian turning around to look at her, he came to his senses and quickly followed.

She was dressed plainly, lagging slightly behind Zhou Yitian. She didn't speak, and she bowed her head respectfully, just like a maid.

Zhou Yitian was glared at, but remembering the current situation in the Hou Mansion, he let her follow behind him.

Taibai Tower still looks like what Zhao Xiaoya remembers, with about ten Eight Immortals tables and a stage in the center, with visitors sitting in twos and threes underneath.

Everything in this scene is familiar. She first met Zhou Yitian in the lobby in her previous life, but five years later, he was already a world-famous general.

There were many customers that day, so she was rarely called to the lobby to deliver drinks, but she accidentally bumped into him and fell all over him...

She thoughtfully followed the waiter's footsteps to the private room on the second floor.

It wasn't until she sat down that Zhou Xiaoya couldn't help but sigh. She didn't expect that one day she would sit in Taibai Tower and be waited on.

Zhou Yue ordered a few dishes at Zhou Yitian's suggestion.

Zhao Xiaoya took a few bites and then put down her chopsticks. The taste was much worse than what she remembered, but this was not unexpected. Calculating the time, she was still on her way to Beijing at this time in her last life, and the widowed cook had not yet come to seek refuge with the head of Taibai Tower.

When Zhou Yitian saw her stop, he also stopped his chopsticks.

He has not been a picky person since he was a child, otherwise he would not be able to swallow all the food made by Qiaocheng. However, since he had Zhao Xiaoya, since he can eat well, he does not want to wrong himself.

Instead of eating these meals, it would be better to wait for Xiaoya to go back and get him something to eat. Even a bowl of noodles is better than the food and wine in front of him.

Although Zhou Yitian didn't speak, looking at his expression, Zhao Xiaoya had already understood, "Aunt Chen just bought fresh river fish and shrimp this morning. I will go back and get them for you to eat."

A smile flashed in Zhou Yitian's eyes, he nodded, and winked at Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue understood and immediately called the waiter to remove all the food and bring tea sets.

As soon as Wei Yuanzhao walked in, he happened to see the waiter putting away the food and said, "I said, it would be too rude of you to do this. I was only half an hour late, and you didn't even leave me anything to eat."

Zhou Yitian glanced at him lightly, without any guilt on his face.

Wei Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows. This guy had a look on his face that he should stay away from strangers. He didn't want to ask for trouble, so he sat down and glanced at Zhao Xiaoya beside him, with surprise flashing in his eyes.It was rare. He had always been alone, and at most he had Zhou Yue with him. Now he would bring his maid with him.

"Where did you find the maid?" Wei Yuanzhao asked.

Zhou Yitian's expression became a little colder, and he scolded aggressively: "You are blind!"

When Wei Yuanzhao heard his rude tone, he turned around and said, "I'm sorry, girl, I'm just blind. Wei Yuanzhao, what do you call me?"
