Early the next morning, Zu Zhao got up early Xi habitually, first studied the scriptures, and then copied some scripture commentaries.

In the past few years, he has memorized the contents of these books, and the reason why he has to re-read them day after day is not only to enhance his memory and improve cultural literacy, but also because he has developed a certain Xi. Of course, in addition to reading the scriptures repeatedly, he will also delve into some ancient art of war, but it is not in the first place. Although he was well aware of the coming troubled times, he was already familiar with the famous articles of ancient military scholars and more advanced military theories in his previous life, so he did not spend too much time in this area.

Before noon, Zu Zhao not only finished the daily reading homework, but even took some time to Xi practice arithmetic, after all, he had to go to the county to meet the three elders for the inspection of the matter recently, and he had to use some heart to do so. Then, he thought of the earlier modifications to the design of the saddle and stirrups, and simply continued to deliberate on it while it was still early.

The saddle and stirrup utensils had been stored in his room, and it was now sunny outside, so he took the utensils and tools out of the room, and walked down the corridor to the quieter garden on the side of the inner courtyard, where he sat down on the floor and began to adjust his seat. He made this set of harness for half a year, after all, he is not a mechanic, many things are groped from scratch, fortunately, the ancestral family has a big business, what kind of talents are under the door, and it is not difficult to ask these people some questions as a prince.

For the specific specifications of saddles and stirrups, it is also after one attempt at a time before there is a decent model and size. To this day, the seating of this model has been adjusted to the same level of eight or nine, otherwise it would not have been possible to repel Huma so easily.

"What are you doing?"

At some point, a faint voice came from behind without warning.

Zu Zhao was not taken aback, but because he was concentrating on the subtle cutting work just now, he did not notice the movement behind him. He looked back and saw a young man in brocade clothes standing behind him, twelve or thirteen years old, with a face that could not be concealed with shyness and restraint. This young man is none other than the unknown little son of the Gongsun family.

"Hey, it's you, why did you get here?" Zu Zhao asked strangely, and after asking, he looked around to see if there were any other children of the Gongsun family accompanying him, but no one else was found around.

"I walked around alone, and here we are." The little boy didn't speak loudly, looking very green and restrained, but he didn't see too much, but had a childlike instinctive innocence. He put his two little hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and looked curiously at the strange set of instruments in front of Zu Zhao.

"You're alone?" Zu Zhao asked. He looked at the little boy in the direction of the sun, and found that the other party's complexion was crystal clear, and his pink face was all the way to his fair neck, revealing a kind of innocent loveliness everywhere. Not only that, but he also smelled a faint fragrance coming from the other party. This is not a big deal, it is not uncommon for men in the Han Dynasty to have a preference for incense, the only strange thing is that this faint incense does not seem to be ordinary incense, and it is definitely not a common fragrance for men.

"Hmmm! So, what are you doing? That, what is that? The little boy flashed his big eyes and stared at the seat expectantly.

"Hehe, this is the saddle, this is the stirrup, it is the seat used to stabilize the rider when riding." Zu Zhao replied bluntly, he felt that there was no need to hide anything, but even if he told the truth, with the age of the other party, he might not understand.

"Huh? Does this really work? The little boy asked puzzledly, with a lot of disbelief in his tone.

"When I'm done, I'll show you. Oh, yes to you, you come out alone, won't the others worry? Zu Zhao changed the topic and asked casually.

The little boy shook his head slightly, and then nodded again, but after thinking about it again, he still shook his head slightly.

Seeing this scene, Zu Zhao couldn't help laughing, only feeling that this little boy was really full of childlike fun with a little well-behaved, and he was very much looking for someone to like him. But even so, he still felt that the other party had some more femininity in his heart, but unfortunately he was still young and could not be judged by secondary sexual characteristics.

"I don't know your name yet?" He didn't continue to care, anyway, in his eyes, the other party was just a child.

"But... But Uncle will be weird..."The little boy showed an embarrassed face, his hands hiding behind his back kept wrapping his fingers, and his little face involuntarily drooped down.

"Uncle?" Zu Zhao said thoughtfully, the first person he thought about was naturally Gongsun Zhi. Among the guests of Gongsun Wu's family who visited Xu Wu this time, there were not many elderly people, although Gongsun Zhi was more than half a hundred years old, it was obviously the most likely compared to others. He smiled kindly, and continued, "I see, well, then I won't ask your name." However, since you will make others worry if you come out alone, it is better to go back first. "

There is still some distance between the west courtyard and the inner courtyard where the guests of the Gongsun family live, I really don't know how this little man touched here alone. The ancestral manor occupies a wide area inside and outside, and strangers can easily get lost in it, but they are afraid that when they are other children, they will already panic and cry.

"But... But I don't know how to go back..."The little boy buried his head lower, as if he knew he had made a mistake.

"Really? You're really careless. Then I will have one of my servants to take you back. Zu Zhao was amused. He dropped the tools he had, stood up, and led the boy down the hallway.

The little boy was also very obedient, nodded in agreement, and followed behind Zu Zhao without saying a word.

Not long along the corridor, there was a sound of footsteps behind a moon gate in front of me, and soon three or four figures appeared. The leader was a servant of the ancestral family, and behind him were three members of the Gongsun family, one of whom was a young man in his twenties and a half, and the other two were dressed as subordinates. As soon as he met Zu Zhao, the servants of the ancestral family hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, and the young man breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's kind of finding someone. It's really hard work. The young man thanked the servant of the ancestral family who led the way, and then bowed to Zu Zhao and said, "It turned out that I disturbed the eldest prince Qingxiu by mistake, I really can't help it, I can't help it." Xiaoban, I told you not to run around, I almost made a mistake, and I didn't apologize to the eldest son. The

little boy looked very aggrieved, standing with his feet together, his head hanging down and looking at the ground, his two little hands looking at a loss.

"What a faux pas. I hope that the eldest prince will not take it to heart. Seeing this, the young man was a little anxious, but he did not continue to persecute the little boy, but hurriedly apologized to Zu Zhao instead.

"It's okay, it's just a small thing, you don't have to worry about it so much. Since this little boy is fine, then I will miss the company first. Zu Zhao smiled and said flatly.

"The eldest son, please. In the next this is the retirement. Xiaoban, I'm really disobedient, don't thank you soon. The young man said.

The little boy raised his head and glanced at Zu Zhao blankly, and then muttered with his small mouth.

Zu Zhao just smiled, without any surprise. The young man sighed helplessly, and asked the two descendants of the Gongsun family to retire with the little son. Before leaving, the young man's face was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, and when he walked out of the moon gate, he secretly glanced back at Zu Zhao, which seemed to reveal a bit of ulterior mystery.

Zu Zhao didn't have such serious curiosity, and was about to turn around and return to the garden to continue tinkering with the seat he had designed, but after thinking about it, he turned around and stopped the servant who had led the way for the Gongsun family and the others just now.

"You're a servant of the Western Courtyard?"

"Back to the eldest prince, yes."

"Why can't you even take care of a child in the West Courtyard? Arbitrarily let outsiders into the inner courtyard? Zu Zhao asked solemnly, although his tone seemed a little majestic, but there was no sense of reproach.

"Please... The eldest prince atons for his sins, the villain... The villain really doesn't know..."The servant was a little flustered.

"You don't have to worry, I'm just asking. After the little boy went missing, did the Gongsun family look for it for a long time? Zu Zhao said.

"It didn't take long, the guests only found out that the little boy was missing a quarter of an hour ago, and later they also asked people nearby, and someone had seen the trace of the little boy earlier, so they went here to look for it." The servant replied.

"Oh, were the guests worried?" Zu Zhao asked again.

"Yes, the boy just now also said that he must find people back before Uncle knows about it, and on the way here, he kept saying that there should be no mistakes." The servant continued.

Zu Zhao nodded slightly, and there was a burst of speculation in his heart, he was still not sure about the identity of this little boy, but obviously the other party was not an ordinary child at all, and he must have a certain status to attract such attention.

"Alright, you go down first." Zu Zhao waved his hand and said.
