Chapter 45 Wen Yi returns
一
After the three parted ways, they had a tacit understanding about the prince and generally kept silent.

Shen Yan continued to be his county magistrate in Qinlin, rectified the county system, plowed the fields, picked mulberries, balanced prices, trained the county soldiers diligently, and continued to send people north to look for Wen Yi's trace.

Zhong Lan also continued to manage Jinyu Academy together with Qin Shen, and even attracted the children of farmers from surrounding counties to study and learn literacy in Jinyu Academy.

In the name of Shen Feng, she further expanded the workhouse and opened porridge factories, so that Tan Lin, a beggar on the street, could have enough food and clothing. She also ordered people to strengthen education, so that the number of unemployed people gradually dropped, and Tan Lin, as the southern border of Beizhao, gained An unprecedented peace.

Let's talk about Zhang Zhuo. In the Southwest Army, he did not rely on himself as a son of aristocratic family. He started as a low-ranking soldier and lived and ate with the soldiers. He was generous, kind and straightforward, and good at making friends, and gradually gained prestige.

There were occasional conflicts between Xiliang and Beizhao. Zhang Tong led people to fight a few victories, and was promoted to Xiaodutong, leading 500 people.

The prince's path did not work out, and Wen Shu did not give up looking for Wen Yi because of this.She became busier and busier, driving the Wen family's caravan further into the hinterlands of the Three Kingdoms, and her reputation grew.

Wen Shu has always done everything by herself, traveling north and south with the caravan, and every time she returns to Yong'an, she doesn't want to stay for a long time. She spends more time in Qin Lintong and Zhong Yan than in Yong'an.

When the spring wheat was sown in 24 years, Wen Shu personally went to Qin Lin to deliver medicine seedlings. She made an excuse to stay with Qin Lin and did not leave in a hurry.

Zhong Lan understood Wen Shu's loneliness and readily agreed to let her stay with Qin Lin.

The two met to go horse racing together, and got on the horse early in the morning and went straight to the southern suburbs.

Zhong Lan has three thousand black hair tied into a ponytail. He is wearing a purple lantern pattern robe and a mouse gray moire pattern cape. His cheeks are slightly rosy and his clear eyes are looking around.

Wen Shu also tied a high ponytail with a red hairband, wore a maroon gilded robe with a rabbit fur collar, and a snow-white fox fur gown. She had bright makeup and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were both happy and angry.

"It's been 24 years since Longyu, what happened three years ago is like a big dream." Wen Shu caressed the horse's mane and smiled faintly, "It turns out that three years have passed."

Zhong Lan saw that Wen Shu was thinking about Wen Yi again and quickly changed the subject: "I heard from Shen Feng that Young Master Zhang won another battle and will be promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief in a few days. Your period of filial piety is also about to pass. Good things are not far off for the two of us. Did he say when he would come to propose marriage? "

Wen Shu didn't answer, she just let her horse lower its head and ate grass silently. The bracelet Zhang Zhu gave her was still securely on her wrist.

In the past three years, although Wen Shu has established the Wen family business name, her conversations with Zhong Yan in private have become very rare. Whenever she opens her mouth, she must involve Wen Yi, which will pierce the scars in the hearts of the two of them, so most of the time, one of them is silent. Accompanied by one person silently.

Now the news about Wen Yi has become a knot in Wen Shu's heart. Wen Shu would rather let him be dismissed and punished by the court than avenge his death in office.

Zhong Lan understood in his heart that he didn't say anything and just silently accompanied Wen Shu to let her horse go.

"Why don't we race horses?" Wen Shu didn't want to disappoint Zhong Lan, so she reined up the horse's head, raised her lips and smiled, "I won't lose to you."

"Okay." Zhong Yan also became interested, "It's not certain who will win."

The two of them rode horses and ran into the distance. They were so tired from going back and forth that they were sweating profusely. They couldn't stop panting even when they got off the horses.

"I didn't expect that your horse-riding skills have improved a lot. Did you practice more behind my back?" Wen Shu couldn't help boasting, "Since you beat me, I invite you to the banquet at the Wanchun Building at noon!"

"Boss Wen is so heroic!" Zhong Lan praised, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Yun Qi running over.

"Girl! Girl!" Because of her unwavering loyalty to Wen Shu, Yun Qi was promoted to a first-class female envoy to work with Yun Le. She is no longer a reckless little girl. If she is so flustered, something big must have happened.

Zhong Lan and Wen Shu looked at each other, secretly worried.

Wen Shu stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Second Master, Second Master!" Yun Qi ran until he couldn't breathe.

As soon as she heard that it was Wen Yi, Wen Shu quickly grabbed Yun Qi and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with Wen Yi? You should tell me!"

"Wait for her to take a breather." Zhong Yan patted Yunqi's back, "Speak clearly." "Second Master, Second Master is back!" Yun Qi finally said it, Dou Da's tears flowed down, weeping with joy He said, "It's at Master Shen's house. Young Master Zhang sent it back safely."

Wen Shu was startled and couldn't believe Yun Qi's words. She froze on the spot: "You, what did you say?"

"Wen Yi is back, sent back by Young Master Zhang!" Zhong Yan shook Wen Shu, and the two hurriedly got on the horse and galloped away.

Wen Shu ignored her usual solemnity and rushed into the main hall of Shen's mansion like wind.

Wen Yi was seen drinking tea. Shen Feng, who was dressed in bamboo-colored uniform, and Zhang Tong, who had not yet had time to take off his armor, were sitting next to them. The three of them were talking in a low voice.

Wen Yi has lost a lot of weight. The tenderness on his cheeks has been removed, but his eyebrows are still deeper but his eyebrows are still deeper. His hair is tied up with a gold hairpin, and he is wearing an indigo blue Ruyi moire robe and a black half-wall fur coat.

Seeing Wen Shu coming in a hurry, Wen Yi stood up in a daze, his eyes instantly turned red, walked slowly to Wen Shu and knelt down: "Sister!"

Wen Shu hugged Wen Yi and burst into tears: "You brat, where have you been for three years!"

Zhong Lan couldn't help wiping his tears and silently walked to Shen Feng: "What on earth is going on?"

"Wen Er had already found out the whereabouts of the one-eyed eagle. Before he was caught, Taiming had an inexplicable riot. He was conspired and slipped into the Wuliang River. Fortunately, he was rescued by a fisherman in Tangzhou, Dongchang, downstream. He didn't give up, and the killer he sent arrived one step ahead of our people, so he had no choice but to start hiding."

"When Wenfu's parents died, he wanted to go back, but he was ambushed and suffered a lot." Zhang Meng explained to Zhong Lan.

"At the beginning of this year, he mingled with beggars and fled back to Beizhao to return to Yong'an. However, he was robbed and killed, so he had to flee into the mountains of Quanzhou. At the time when my second uncle was returning to his hometown to repair in the mountains, he met him who was seriously injured in a plot. , and gave him a helping hand to save him."

"Second uncle didn't want to be public and was afraid that he would be discovered again, so he hid his whereabouts and took him into the mountains disguised as a bookboy and ordered the accompanying doctors to diagnose and treat him."

Looking at the Wen brothers and sisters who were crying, Zhang Zhu was also a little moved. He turned his head and smiled at Zhong Lan: "It was only when I went to visit my second uncle when I went home to visit relatives that I found out that Wen Er was with my second uncle." There. By then, Wen Er's injuries will no longer be serious, and my second uncle ordered me to take him out of the mountain."

"Does your injury still hurt?" Wen Shu nervously patted Wen Yi's arm and shoulder.

"It's healed a long time ago, it's just a few scars left." Wen Yi shook his head and smiled.

When Wen Shu heard this, her tears that had just stopped welled up again. She raised her hand and beat Wen Yi: "Even if the journey is dangerous, you don't know how to say goodbye to me! Do you know how far we have walked? The entire Beizhao I've searched everywhere, all to find you, you know? If you can't find me, how can I go see my parents!"

Wen Yi also smiled and accepted it with tears in his eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two siblings was too sad, Zhang Zhuo stepped forward and joked: "It's a good thing to reunite, don't ruin the joy by crying. Wen Yi, you have to tell your eldest sister again what I told you on the way."

"Oh!" Wen Yi suddenly remembered, took Wen Shu's thrashing hand, embraced her shoulders, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Brother Zhang to marry my eldest sister, this is Jinbai Temple's wish Chi is so clever. As my brother-in-law, I agree to this marriage!"

"What nonsense did you just come back from?" Wen Shu blushed, bumped Wen Yi's waist with her elbow, and rolled her eyes at him.

"What nonsense is this? I have already informed my parents that after the Chinese New Year, I will personally go to Wen's house to hire someone." Zhang Zhuo had a smile in his eyes, full of affection, and Wen Shu was so embarrassed that she turned away and did not dare to look at him. .

After saying that, Zhang Zhuo saluted Wen Yi generously: "Thank you so much, brother-in-law!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!" Wen Yi was totally willing, not only because Zhang Zhuo had a good character and was in love with Wen Shu, but also because he originally wanted to call Zhang Zhuo "Brother Zhang", but now he was called instead. "brother in law".

Wen Yi is naturally willing to go up in level instead of down.
