Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 235 Friends
"Together, together!" Su Wanru covered her face and smiled, "We took a look outside the yard last time, the girl is very beautiful, August is very envious."

Zhao Yan looked at Shen Zhan.

"Then let's go together." Shen Zhan didn't mind it before, but now he doesn't care anymore. The son is born, and Zhao Yan can't turn the sky. "Let's see what the beautiful maid envied by August looks like."

The four of them laughed, and Su Wanru gestured to the food in her hand, "I want to send it back and bring August back." She looked at Zhao Yan again, "Why don't you pretend to meet August?"

"That's the only way to go." Zhao Yan smiled and said, "I'll go back and make some preparations, and I'll wait for you to come."

Zhu Xun stopped Zhao Yan's shoulder, "I'll help you pack up and get ready to go, my starling has to go home and change, he hasn't showered for a few days."

"Master Hou is busy for the people, which is respectable." Zhao Yan said with a smile, and went out of the city side by side with Zhu Xun, Su Wanru looked at Shen Zhan, smelled it, "Really, I should send you a change of clothes , You see, I really have no brains at all."

"It's still dirty after changing it." Shen Zhan took the things in her hand, glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, and said with frowned: "Who is it, did you ask?"

Su Wanru replied: "He didn't say anything, but when Zhong Yuan asked him if he was sent by Zhao Zhiting, he didn't refute it. I think it's likely."

"Understood!" Shen Zhan didn't say anything, took a deep look at the corpse, and then walked side by side with Su Wanru. On the way, they met the patrolling yamen servants, asked them to dispose of the corpse, and went home together.

Standing at the door, she told Shen Zhan, "Don't let August know about Zhong Yuan, he said he was his friend, then we can just treat it as a coincidence."

"Yeah." Shen Zhan said sourly: "Only he can make friends secretly."

Su Wanru elbowed him, and said with a smile, "Are you so mean, you're stingy."

"My daughter-in-law and son say he is good, why can't I be sour." Shen Zhan turned her head and ignored her, and Su Wanru approached her with a smile, "I was wrong, you are the most generous. If it were me, I would be jealous." Knowing how much you have been knocked over, you look at how nice you are, and you are not angry at all, I especially admire your heart."

Shen Zhan snorted.

"My lord." Su Wanru hugged him and tiptoed to kiss him. Shen Zhan couldn't help laughing when she saw her face twisted together, and said, "Don't talk about it, it's not good to be seen by others." .”

Su Wanru stared, and looked at him strangely, "When will our Lord Hou feel that it's not good to talk about it?"

"Putting a cart or something, kiss directly." Shen Zhan said: "It's not important, just pretend."

Su Wanru laughed, hugged him and kissed him, and said, "Is this okay?"

"Let's make do with it." Shen Zhan said, "Barely!"

Su Wanru gave him a blank look and couldn't help laughing. Just as she was about to speak, suddenly there was a childish voice from across the door: "Shame, kiss at the gate."

"Xiao Bayue." Shen Zhan said angrily, "I haven't seen me for a few days, and I didn't say hello to me. Are you just talking in a strange way through the door?"

The door creaked open, and August stood at the door, cupping his fists and respectfully said: "Son, pay your respects to father."

The corner of Shen Zhan's mouth trembled.

"Good boy." Su Wanru said: "Your father and I met an old friend today, he wants to invite us to our house as guests, do you want to go?"

August shook his head, "Not interested. If you are not at home, maybe that uncle came to play with me, and I will wait for him at home."

"Really. Then we will go by ourselves." Su Wanru entered the door and said with a smile: "That courtyard is so beautiful, and there are four very beautiful sisters. I want to smell the four sisters. fragrant."

"Ah!" August's eyes lit up, and she pretended to say: "I remembered, uncle said he won't come tonight, so I'd better go with you."

Su Wanru looked at him with raised eyebrows, and confirmed, "Are you really going?"

"Yeah." August nodded, "Really."

Bad kids!Su Wanru knocked her son on the head, and said, "Go and change your clothes, change into clean clothes, remember that you are the son of a nobleman."

"Understood." August quickly ran into the room, shouting while running, "I am very slow to change clothes, you have to wait for me."

The door slammed shut.

Su Wanru looked at Shen Zhan and said with a smile, "Our son has potential."

"What potential." Shen Zhan snorted twice, and said, "It's full of evil potential."

Su Wanru ran over to kick him, Shen Zhan quickened her pace, Su Wanru didn't kick her sideways, Shen Zhan turned around and caught her with the vegetables, staring and said: "Are you fulfilling that I don't have a hero to save the beauty today?"

"Yes." Su Wanru said: "Our family can be a hero to save the beauty if we have nothing to do, right?"

Shen Zhan gritted his teeth, and said viciously: "I don't have time recently, wait for the master to be free, so you won't be able to leave for three days."

"Master." Su Wanru hugged him and let him drag him away, "My family is weak, please be gentle."

Shen Zhan laughed, and knocked her on the head, "Where did you learn to be unreasonable." He said, kissing her cheek, "But I like it."

"Hey." Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and squinted at him, "Our Lord Hou still likes this kind of style, he knows the way, does he often go there?"

Shen Zhan coughed, and said sternly, "Nonsense." After saying that, he quickly carried the vegetables into the kitchen, then pretended to pour water into the pot, and set fire to boil water for bathing.

Su Wanru stood at the door with her arms folded and looked at him.

"See what I do." Shen Zhan said, "Put away your bad thoughts."

Su Wanru snorted, and said, "Sure enough, I'm not as beautiful as Brother Zhongyuan." As she spoke, seeing Shen Zhan staring, she ran away, and Shen Zhan roared, "Little girl, wait for me, I'll kill you!"

Su Wanru hid in the room, laughing loudly.

Shen Zhan couldn't help laughing, ever since she killed Xiao Hanqing in front of Zhao Yan, she has been pressing this matter in her heart.She has no pity for Xiao Hanqing, but she has pity for Zhao Yan, and this pity makes her heartbroken.

Seeing Zhao Yan today, seeing him walk out of the gloom, without any hatred or hostility between them, made her feel relieved all of a sudden.

So he was also very happy, happy with Su Wanru's relief, and even more happy that Zhao Yan was still Zhao Yan before.

Shen Zhan hummed, washed and changed his clothes, August finally changed his clothes, wearing a red jacket, green bloomers, hair piled on his head in a mess, standing at the door, shouting: "Mother , help me comb my hair."

"What is this?" Shen Zhan looked at his son with frowned eyebrows, and called Su Wanru, "Look at the clothes he's wearing."

Su Wanru ran out, chuckled, and said, "Mother suggests you, go and change into a pair of black pants."

"Why, I think it looks good." August pouted, unhappy.

Su Wanru said: "Because black is resistant to dirt."

"Okay." August ran to change into a pair of black trousers again, Su Wanru helped him tie a braid, and the three of them rode out of the city. August was very happy, humming a song sung by his father, shaking his head and tail, Shen Zhan watched He was not pleasing to the eye, "Sit well and don't move."

"Also, what are you singing, can you sing?"

Looking back at Dad in August, "Why can you sing but I can't?"

Shen Zhan was choked, Su Wanru said: "That's because you don't understand the meaning of the lyrics, once you understand, you can sing."

"I understand." August said: "My younger sister kisses my elder brother. My younger sister is my mother, and my elder brother is my father...Ahhh...It hurts so much."

Shen Zhan said angrily: "If you don't learn well, I will take you to play forward tomorrow."

"I'm still young." August looked at Shen Zhan with tears in her eyes, and covered her head, "I'm still young, I don't understand, father forgive me!"

Shen Zhan's chest felt tight and he ignored him.

Su Wanru was overjoyed, but also had a headache. The older August is, the harder it is to teach.

"That's right there, that's right there." August pointed to the yard and said, "Beautiful sister... Oh, no, it's beautiful auntie!"

Su Wanru nodded in satisfaction.

"It's really enjoyable." Shen Zhan carried his son down, and said to Su Wanru, "It's really comfortable to be surrounded by mountains and rivers, and to be served by a beautiful maidservant."

Su Wanru covered her face with a smile, and said: "He has been restrained for the first half of his life, now he has nothing to worry about, so he naturally wants to enjoy life to the fullest, if it were me, I would do the same."

"Hurry up, hurry up." August ran inside, Shen Zhan pulled him past and coughed, "Your mother taught you etiquette."

August stood up straight in an instant, folded her hands in front of her chest, and followed Shen Zhan's side in an orderly manner.

A tall and slender woman in a green gauze dress came to open the fence door, smiled slightly and said: "Your servant knocks on Lord Hou, the princess and the young master." Then said: "The master is waiting for three of you in the room."

Shen Zhan nodded slightly, and was led in by the woman. In August, he raised his head and glanced at the woman secretly, and then walked with his head down, his eyes shining brightly.

Entering the door, the scent of flowers in the yard is layered and mixed together. Not only does it not feel messy, but it makes people feel refreshed. The ducks in the pond in front of the yard are paddling, and the roosters are crowing in the chicken coop by the wall. The grapes on the vines are heavy purple red, and the green vines crawling on the fence are full of infinite vitality.

The green gauze curtain hanging on the door of the house flutters with the wind. Through the curtain, two men can be seen sitting on the ground facing each other. A pot of tea is filled with mist, and the haze is beautiful and quiet.

Seeing them coming, the man smiled slightly, and Su Wanru couldn't help but smile along with him, and followed Shen Zhan upstairs.

"August," Zhu Xun shouted, "I met Uncle Zhong Yuan."

August lowered his head and did not look sideways, went forward to cup his hands, bowed in a proper manner, and said: "August sees Uncle Zhongyuan."

"It turned out to be August." Zhao Yan said, "What a coincidence."

August heard the sound and suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhao Yan in surprise, "Ah, it's you!"

"Yes." Zhao Yan waved his hand and said, "I thought it would be a few days before I saw you, but I didn't expect to meet you today. It's really fate."

August thought of something, looked at him, "Are you friends with my parents?"

"Yes." Zhao Yan said: "However, just like you, we are friends."

In August, Zhao Yan patted his head and said in a low voice, "Shall we go to the pond to pick water chestnuts later?"

"Okay." The little dissatisfaction disappeared immediately, "Picking water chestnuts, and rowing."

Zhao Yan nodded, "Okay, whatever you say is what you say."

"Uncle is so kind." August threw herself into Zhao Yan's arms, grinning.

Zhao Yan hugged him and sat on his lap, and said with a smile, "Because it's August, so uncle is a good uncle."

August didn't understand, she nodded her head ignorantly, looked at the candied fruit on the table, and smacked her mouth, Zhao Yan said: "Taste the candied fruit specially made for you, it's not very sweet. Eat one or two not so sweet." Bad teeth."

"Really?" August's eyes lit up.

Zhao Yan nodded and said, "Well, Uncle won't lie to you."

"Yeah." August nodded, looked at Su Wanru again, she smiled, and said, "You can eat if uncle says you can, but you can only eat two."

August grinningly grabbed two of them, stuffed them into her mouth with a snort, for fear that Su Wanru would go back on her word.

Su Wanru laughed, and sat down opposite Shen Zhan, Zhao Yan poured tea for them, "The tea that was picked in the back mountain this spring is not a good tea, the most important thing is the fragrance."

Everyone tasted the tea together, Zhao Yan and Shen Zhan said: "It's rare that you and I sit down and drink tea calmly. I need to drink some more wine later, I know you have always been a good drinker."

"Forget it today, I'll go there later." Shen Zhan said, "I'll drink when the big thing is settled."

Zhao Yan nodded, "That's fine." After a pause, he continued: "The person who assassinated today should be someone from Zhao Zhiting. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Since he had the first time, there must be a second time. You should be more careful." Zhao Yan said.

Shen Zhan nodded, "We won't stay in Zhangzhou too long. When the plague subsides, we will attack Guangping. If it goes well, we will be able to report today's revenge at the end of the year."

"Yes." Zhao Yan nodded, refilled Shen Zhan's tea, raised his cup again, and said, "I wish the Later Song Dynasty a successful victory and an indomitable future."

The four clinked their cups and drank the tea in the teacup.

"Are you going to live here for a long time?" Su Wanru looked at the house, the repairs were only elegant, not half gorgeous, Zhao Yan replied: "I just like it, maybe after a year or two, I will change my place. Actually, I live in the house. Where it is doesn't matter, it's enough to be accompanied by mountains and rivers."

Su Wanru nodded, Zhu Xun said: "Exactly, it's nothing more than that."

"Do you want to learn from Zhong Yuan too?" Su Wanru looked at Zhu Xun.

Zhu Xun frowned, and said, "I don't care, but it depends on what Yujie means. I think she's so delicate, I'm afraid she won't be able to live such an idyllic life."

"It's different to have a family and a house." Zhao Yan said, "I'm alone, so I'm happy and at ease."

The room was quiet, Su Wanru was a little embarrassed, Zhao Yan glanced at her, pursed her lips and smiled, and said to August: "I'm free in August, so I can come and stay with uncle for a few days, okay?"

"Okay." August nodded, "Uncle is not alone, you still have us."

Zhao Yan was stunned, touched August's head for a long time, and said, "Yes, there are you."

Shen Zhan took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup and looked at it, frowned slightly, and asked, "You don't want to go back to Yanjing, come back to Yanjing with us."

"Me?" Zhao Yan thought for a while, smiled, and said, "I will definitely go there when I have time. There are many memories of me, and it is hard to let go."

After he finished speaking, he coughed lightly, and a beautiful servant girl came in outside the door, holding a fragrant medicine, and said softly: "Master, drink up the medicine."

"Why is it brought here now?" Zhao Yan shook his head helplessly, and explained to everyone: "It's a bit cold." Still took the bowl.

The beautiful maid took the empty bowl, thoughtfully brought him the teacup to rinse his mouth, and walked out the door lightly.

Su Wanru looked at it, and felt a little more relaxed. At least he thought about it, and there were beautiful women around him to take care of him, and someone to talk with him, which is actually not bad!

As for the future, none of them know the future, and it is enough to live a good life at present.

"Let's go boating." Zhao Yan got up holding August, "One of the things August wants to do most."

August jumped up, clapped her hands happily, and dragged Zhao Yan out.

"This kid." Zhu Xun said sourly: "With Zhong Yuan, you won't even look at me anymore."

Su Wanru smiled lightly and said, "Next time you will row with him too."

As they were talking, the three of them also went out. Standing at the door, they saw the maidservant pulled the boat to the shore and then came up to help Zhao Yan go down. He smiled and said, "No need, just hold on to August." gone."

"Aren't you sick?" The maidservant murmured, "Why don't I bring you the cloak and put it on for you, lest the wind blow again."

Zhao Yan waved his hand and said lightly: "No need." Saying that, he boarded the boat with August in his arms.

Playing until dark, August finally let his parents take them home, Zhao Yan sent them to the door, and waved to August, "Come back in two days."

"Okay." August said: "Uncle, remember to think about August."

Zhao Yan nodded, "I think about it every day."

August smiled with satisfaction.

Su Wanru nodded with him, followed Shen Zhan and Zhu Xun and walked away slowly, Zhao Yan leaned against the gate of the courtyard and watched quietly, the beautiful woman came up lightly and gave him the cloak, Zhao Yan put it on with a hum, " Go and rest, too."

"Master, is that lady the person in the painting?" The beautiful servant girl supported him, Zhao Yan didn't speak, she continued: "The person is more beautiful than the one in the painting, no wonder master..."

When the words fell, knowing that he had said something wrong, he hurriedly lowered his head.

"It's okay." Zhao Yan said: "Just remember not to say that when you see her."

The beautiful maid should be, and muttered again: "But she is married...Master, you are suffering too much."

"What is suffering." Zhao Yan stopped and looked up. A bright moon was hanging in the sky far away. He smiled and said sadly: "Sometimes, what is guarding is not that one person, but a love. People are easy to get." , Love is hard to come by... I don't feel pain, that's enough."

When Su Wanru returned home, August was already asleep. Shen Zhan left the city after staying for a while. Zhu Xun sat in the yard and sighed. She settled in August, and came out and asked, "What are you doing, sighing, miss Yujie?" gone?"

"No." Zhu Xun looked up at her, and patted the empty space beside her, "Tell me, what is my Yinyin thinking?"

Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

"Let me tell you." Zhu Xun recalled what happened in the afternoon, and told it vividly, "...So many people kowtowed, and tears filled my eyes. Mynah, who looks fierce, actually has a soft heart Yes, he has not left for so many days, he knows better than anyone else how many people died and how many people survived."

"Yeah." Su Wanru nodded, "That's why I always admire him. After having such experiences and childhood, he can still distinguish between good and bad, which is really admirable."

Zhu Xun nodded, "So is Zhong Yuan... I asked him how he came here today, and he just laughed it off. I guess this period is also difficult, and I don't know how he survived."

"Yeah." Su Wanru sighed, "Time is the best medicine to heal wounds, everything will get better."

Zhu Xun thought it might be difficult, looked sideways at her and asked, "Which woman in the world do you think is worthy of him?"

"Not now, but there will be in the future." Su Wanru said: "Fate is not clear."

The two chatted for a long time, and on the third day, Su Wanru went outside the city, and all the sick people in the woods had been sent away, Shen Zhan and Mei Yu were standing on the official road talking, Master Yao was busy ordering and cleaning up.

"How is it? Is everything alright?" Su Wanru ran over holding her skirt, "How is the situation? Is everything alright?"

Mei Yu smiled and said: "It's not all good, but it's not in vain. Two people from the 710 were taken in, and one hundred and six people were gone. The rest are all good and go home."

"That's good." Su Wanru breathed a sigh of relief, "Although those who have died are sighing, those who are alive are more important. This is good news."

All three laughed.

"Take a day off and attack the city tomorrow!" Shen Zhan said, "I want to take the head of the county magistrate of Guangping and hang it on the city gate as a public display."

Su Wanru smiled and said: "Go home first, wash up and have a good sleep." Then she said to Mei Yu: "You have lost a lot of weight for so many days, don't do anything next, keep your meat well .”

"I'm like a pig." Mei Yu said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm going to see His Highness tomorrow, I don't know what's going on with him."

Su Wanru replied: "Second brother said in the letter that it is not as serious as ours. He put a knife around his neck and forced those doctors to go out of the city for treatment."

The three talked and went to the city.

As soon as they entered the city, the vendors on the street kept saying hello to them. Six teenagers ran up to Shen Zhan, blushing and stammering, "Hou...Master Hou!" , can we join the army, we also want to fight with you."

"How old is it?" Shen Zhan asked.

The teenagers look at me and I look at you, pushing the person in front to talk, and the person replied: "I am the oldest, and I am fourteen this year, and they are both thirteen. No...but we are all strong." He rolled up his sleeves, showing his thin arms, "I can carry a bag of rice at a time."

"Yes, Lord Hou, you should take us in." Several people echoed.

　Not today!See you tomorrow.
