Chapter 96 Meeting
"You...do you know this dog?" Du Zhou was taken aback, and looked at Mei Yu, feeling that it was not an easy matter, "Whose dog does it belong to?"

Su Wanru didn't answer his words, she knelt down and patted Er Gouzi's head, "Why are you following Du Zhou, and your master, why don't you follow him."

"Wow, woof." Er Gouzi rubbed against her palm in a fawning manner, with an obedient look, which was different from the way he didn't answer when he was in Yanjing, "Wow, woof..."

Su Wanru was stunned, and the corners of her mouth trembled. She felt that Er Gouzi was saying, "I was sent by the master to watch you." She coughed, looked up at Du Zhou, and replied, "I saw him when I was in Jining." .”

After speaking, he got up and whispered a few words to Du Zhou. Du Zhou's eyes widened and he pointed at Er Gouzi, "You are...too cunning."

"Go, go, go!" Du Zhou pulled Su Wanru behind him to protect him, and stared at Er Gouzi, "I warn you, hurry up, or I will kill you and eat dog stew tonight."

Er Gouzi looked at Du Zhou, then at Su Wanru, lying on the ground sobbing, as if he was being bullied.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful, why didn't I see you so pitiful when you robbed me of meat." Du Zhou was furious, thinking that this dog was too scheming, "A Jin, don't believe it, this dog is too bad No, it's just a dog spirit."

Su Wanru laughed, pushed Du Zhou away, went to stroke Ergouzi's dog's head, "I'll take you back to your master, okay?"

Er Gouzi just rubbed against her hand, lying on the ground motionless, looking at her eagerly.

Su Wanru couldn't stop laughing, she smiled and said helplessly: "But I don't have time today, I will see you off in two days, I will live here for a few days, okay?"

"Wow, woof." Er Gouzi stood up abruptly, shook his head happily, and barked twice at Du Zhou, looking like a dog.

Du Zhou was furious, pointing at Er Gouzi, "Bah!"

"Woof!" Er Gouzi poohed him too.

Du Zhou snorted, "Bah bah!"

"Woof!" Er Gouzi barked at him.

One person and one dog confronted each other, Du Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "There are dogs as long as there are masters, it's too bullying."

"Woof woof!" Er Gouzi said.

Both Su Wanru and Mei Yu laughed, her stomach hurt from laughing, she hugged Er Gouzi and said, "Look at your dirty body, I'll help you take a bath in a while. Now follow me to see aunt, okay, you have to be nice, if My aunt and other sisters don't like or are afraid of you, so I dare not keep you."

Er Gouzi barked and stood obediently against her leg, looking at Du Zhou from the corner of his eyes, looking down on her.

Du Zhou's eyebrows twitched angrily, and when he saw Er Gouzi, he looked like he saw Shen Zhan, "Sooner or later, I will stew you."

Su Wanru talked to Mei Yu, "Let's go see my aunt, you lived here a few years ago, it's hard to find a house when you go out to live, and secondly, you need to find a medical clinic temporarily, and I'm afraid it will take some effort."

Mei Yu said with a smile: "I have already found the medical clinic, which is just above the West Street. I went to see it with Du Zhou just before I came here, and I also met the owner. He allocated a room for me in the backyard, and I will come later Just go straight there."

"It's all done, you're really thoughtful." Su Wanru looked at Mei Yu with admiration. Before, she only thought that he followed his master as a young man who hadn't graduated from the teacher. Mei Yu's cheeks were slightly red, and she whispered: "Princess, have you met the Second Highness? "

"Yeah." Su Wanru nodded, "I'll talk to you in detail sometime."

Mei Yu was a little excited, so she agreed and went to see Aunt Huo with Su Wanru, Du Zhou and Er Gouzi. Zhou Xian hid behind a tree and stared in a daze. Su Wanru found her and said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, What are you thinking about?"

"Su Jin." Zhou Xian came out with her face flushed, she glanced at Mei Yu from the corner of her eye, "Your brother is here."

Su Wanru nodded, and introduced her to Mei Yu and Du Zhou, "This is Zhou Xiuniang." Then she said to Zhou Xian, "This is my elder brother, you can just call him Du Zhou. This is Doctor Mei Ziqing Mei."

Zhou Xian was taken aback. She thought Mei Yu was her elder brother. After all, Du Zhou's appearance couldn't be related to her elder brother. She nodded at Du Zhou in embarrassment, and said, "Hello, big brother." After finishing speaking, she was surprised again: "Your brother doesn't share your last name."

"Oh, he was picked up by my father when he was a child. He never changed his surname." Su Wanru babbled nonsense, and the corners of Du Zhou's mouth trembled when he heard it. I was taken back."

Mei Yu chuckled and nodded with Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian's face was flushed, and she looked at him from the corner of her eye, lowered her head and said to Su Wanru, "Go... go see aunt."

"Okay," Su Wanru thought it was interesting, and went to meet Aunt Huo with everyone, and introduced two men and a dog. Aunt Huo greeted happily, and then looked at Er Gouzi, "Is it called Er Gouzi, you are not young Alright."

"Wow, woof." Er Gouzi immediately walked over, lying on the edge of Aunt Huo's chair, as obedient as he wanted, everyone laughed, Zhou Xian was very surprised, "This dog is so obedient, Su Jin, let's keep him. He can eat whatever we eat, so he can feed himself."

Er Gouzi echoed, "Wow!"

"It's so fun." Zhou Xian went over to hug Er Gouzi and looked at Su Wanru beggingly. Su Wanru said helplessly, "You have to ask his master about it. I'll ask in two days. If he doesn't want it, we Just keep it by your side."

Zhou Xian lit and touched Er Gouzi's face with joy.

"Then I'll go to the medical hall first, and I'll come to see you when I'm settled." Mei Yu got up, Su Wanru came only after she knew about it, there were a lot of things to arrange, so she didn't leave him behind, "Let us know if there is anything missing."

After Mei Yu bowed, he smiled and greeted everyone. Su Wanru and Du Zhou sent him out. When he came back, Aunt Huo had already arranged Du Zhou's residence. "There are no rooms in the outer courtyard. Let Du Zhou live in the inner courtyard first. The backyard There are a few vacant ones, let him choose one."

"Okay." Su Wanru pulled Du Zhou, "Just live in the first room past our yard. I'll take him to tidy up. Anyway, he doesn't care much about a big man."

Du Zhou nodded, and said to Aunt Huo with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Aunt Huo said a few more words of politeness. When Su Wanru and Du Zhou went out together, Er Gouzi automatically followed behind like a tail. Du Zhou turned to stare at it, and said in a low voice, "Who is still haunted?" ?”

"Can you talk?" Su Wanru glared at him, and replied, "I'm still here. Otherwise, why did you bump into his dog halfway?"

Du Zhou spurned, "Princess, stay away from him, he is not a good person."

"How do you know that he is not a good person? You know him?" Su Wanru looked at him and questioned, "You have never been in contact with him."

Du Zhou was stunned, and jumped up, "Everyone in the world knows whether he is a good man, so I still use a servant to tell me." His eyes flashed again, and he said: "Besides, he keeps pestering you now, but he didn't follow his good intentions. .You can't be fooled by him."

Su Wanru curled her lips and snorted, "It's best not to let me know what you're hiding from me. I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

"Slaves, how dare you." Du Zhou giggled and laughed, "Tell me about the Second Highness, the slaves also miss the Second Highness."

Su Wanru told him about Su Ji's appearance and situation, and Du Zhou began to cry when he heard it, wiping away his tears, "...Our Highness was so beautiful back then, when we went to the streets, there were crowds of people watching. The girl is staring at her, she would rather be a slave than a handmaiden to follow our Highness, and now she is being tortured like this. Zhao Zhiang is too embarrassing, curse him to die, go to Abi Hell, and be burned by refining fire every day."

"That's enough." Su Wanru knocked him on the head, "If the curse is to work, no one will be alive in this world."

Both of them went to the courtyard a little dejectedly. Su Wanru sat and watched. Du Zhou was very quick at work, sweeping the floor, mopping the table and making the bed. After a while, he cleaned it up. He clapped his hands and said, "What will the servants do in the future? Let me learn embroidery with you."

"Buy some decent men's clothes tomorrow, take a look at Lu Da's usual appearance, learn a little bit, and don't cock your fingers as soon as you make a move." Su Wanru warned: "Follow me from now on, I'm going to do business, you Eat and drink with people to discuss business."

"It's done." Du Zhou felt that he could drink well, "From now on, the servant will be in charge, and the servant is the best."

Su Wanru talked about Duan Zhen and the others again, and Du Zhou remembered what happened in Jining, "After you left, those people were unlucky, Shen Zhan cleaned it up, and now there are government officials guarding Yanjing day and night." Come on, don’t say what kind of idea, it’s just that ordinary people don’t get close to it.”

Su Wanru chuckled, and said, "Like his style, he cleans up people at once."

"You still praise him." Du Zhou was indignant, "Princess, you have changed."

Su Wanru stood up and said, "Take a rest quickly and think about what you want to do. I don't care for idlers." She glared at him, "Now that I have nothing to do, I will sweep the yard, thinking that being my elder brother is really my elder brother. ,snort."

With that said, he went out the door.

Du Zhou looked at her with pursed lips, Su Wanru went out and patted Er Gouzi's head, "Come on, let's go back to our yard, are you hungry, do you want to eat meat?"

"Wow, woof." Er Gouzi followed, shaking her head and tail. Su Wanru smiled with rare relief in her heart. She took Er Gouzi back to her yard, tied her hair and squatted in the cage to find a few pieces of cotton cloth and a pile of cotton. You sew a kennel, and you will sleep here from now on, okay?"

"Wang Wang!"

Su Wanru was sitting at the door, and after a while, she sewed a kennel out, found a board underneath, placed the kennel on top, and said, "Try it."

Er Gouzi went around the kennel for a few times, and didn't know what it was, so Su Wanru smiled and said, "I've never been treated so well, your master will sleep on the floor himself, so he doesn't care where you sleep Woolen cloth."

He patted the kennel, lay down on it and made a gesture, then got up and pointed, "Try it."

Er Gouzi looked puzzled, sniffing his nose and lying next to the nest, but he was reluctant to go up to sleep.

"Su Jin." Zhou Xian ran in from the outside, "It's time for lunch." He called Er Gouzi again, "Let's go eat."

Er Gouzi looked at Su Wanru, she smiled and said, "Go ask Du Zhou to eat in the front yard."

"Wow, woof." Er Gouzi kicked out of the yard door, ran to the door of Du Zhou's yard in a gust of wind, and didn't go in.

Du Zhou was baffled, and stood at the door and yelled, "Thief dog!"

Su Wanru was standing at the intersection waiting for Du Zhou, Zhou Xian came over and said with a blushing face, "Do you know that Doctor Mei? Or are you familiar with Brother Du?"

"Oh, we know each other well. We grew up together." Su Wanru thought for a while, and although she didn't see each other much, she still grew up together, "What's the matter, why are you asking this?"

Zhou Xian lowered her head, her face flushed.

"Huaichun?" Su Wanru looked surprised, and grabbed Zhou Xian's face, "You...I'm going to tell my aunt."

Zhou Xian hugged her and said angrily: "What's wrong with Huaichun? Why can't I be Huaichun? Others are as old as me, and their children can run on the ground. I can't do it if I worry."

"Okay!" Su Wanru nodded, "I'll spy on you if I have a chance, and then create some opportunities for you. We don't have the rules of those big houses. If you like to marry, you really need to get to know each other carefully."

Zhou Xian nodded, "Su Jin, you are really kind."

The two of them got together to talk about Mei Yu, and after talking for a long time, Du Zhou didn't come over, so Su Wanru ran over in person, stood at the door and shouted: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, what are you dawdling about, go eat."

"Wait for me?" Du Zhou looked puzzled, and hurriedly closed the door and came out, "I didn't know you were waiting for me."

Su Wanru walked and said, "I asked Er Gouzi to call you."

"Call me?" Du Zhou went to see Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi barked at him, he was furious, and shouted: "Thieve dog, did you call me!" He actually played tricks with him.

Er Gouzi ran away in a hurry, and when they arrived, he was obediently lying beside Aunt Huo, gnawing bones, his mouth full of oil.

A room full of women, plus two men and a dog, Du Zhou was flattered, and Er Gouzi was also flattered, looking extremely eager to express himself.

Su Wanru looked and smiled.

Du Zhou has a good temper, and since he was a child, he has been doing errands to cater to people. If he wants to get along with someone, he can figure out the other person's temperament and preferences with a few words, and he can handle it properly.

The kennel where Er Gouzi sleeps at night, after sleeping for a while, he gets up and walks around a few times, then lies down, gets up and walks around again, Su Wanru lies on the bed and looks at it, talking to him with a smile.

The next morning, she got up early, walked in the yard alone and a dog, and went to the street at dawn to bring back a bag of steamed buns, and the second dog followed her. When someone looked at Su Wanru, it would bark at the other party, scaring the other party. The people hurriedly quickened their pace and walked away.

"Mind your own business." Su Wanru glared at it, "Did your master teach you to do this? Don't yell at others in the future, be careful that I will lose you."

Er Gouzi whimpered and walked slowly to the door, and saw a carriage parked outside the door, Zha Rongsheng was standing beside the car, saw Su Wanru suddenly laughed, stepped forward to salute, and said: " The girl got up very early, and the servant girl was just about to knock on the door, but I didn't expect you to go out."

"Eunuch Cha." Su Wanru smiled and blessed her, and asked, "You came so early in the morning, what's the matter?"

Zha Rongsheng smiled and pointed at the car, "It's the New Year's Eve, our lord has prepared some things for you, including food, clothes and clothes. Let me let you move in here, servant girl."

"I'm not short of things." Su Wanru waved her hand, and Zha Rongsheng waved at the driver to signal him to move, and took a few steps closer, talking to Su Wanru with earnestness, "Young lady and Zhennanhou, how many servants are there?" I also know a little bit. It’s not easy for a servant to talk about it because of the master’s miscellaneous family. It’s just that the servant is the prince’s servant, so her heart is naturally crooked, and I want to say something to you, girl.”

Su Wanru nodded.

"Although the servant girl has not been with our prince for a long time, after getting along for a year, he also knows that our prince is noble. Don't say that he has never heard of a woman he likes. Even in the house, there is no woman close to him in the mansion. The prince treats the girl You, I'm afraid you've moved your heart."

Su Wanru was stunned, a little embarrassed, she didn't know whether to answer Zha Rongsheng's words, please accept it, he is a slave and she has no interest in saying anything, don't accept it, she seems to be a heartbroken person.

"The girl is good-natured and has a pleasing temperament. Even a half-man like this servant can't help but look at her a few more times. Don't be angry, this servant is speaking sincerely, and she is definitely not frivolous or neglectful." I just want to say that our prince is tempted, and it is common sense to like you."

"You don't have to be in trouble, girl. I think it's not easy to offend both sides. Zhennanhou is a bit rough after all. Girl, you are gentle and polite. Standing with our lord, you are called a man of beauty. Although your status is a bit low, you can't stand our lord. I like it, if you go to fiefdom in the future, even if you are a side concubine or a concubine, you will definitely be favored by the prince."

"Hou Ye is hard to say. He is in Beijing, just wanting to pamper you a little more, and he can drown you with spitting stars. There are many rules in Beijing, and there is no such thing as spoiling a concubine or destroying a wife."

Su Wanru's ears hurt, he could understand what Zha Rongsheng meant, it was just to compare the benefits of Shen Zhan and Zhao Yan.

"I am a embroiderer, and neither of these two nobles can afford me." Su Wan smiled like a smirk, "Eunuch Cha, you have to persuade your lords, there is no need to do anything for me."

Zha Rongsheng was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say that Su Wanru didn't know what to do, but after thinking about it, he realized that she was right.

It is true that their lord was very hot about this matter, and the little embroidered lady didn't reveal anything, she couldn't help but sighed, and said: "This matter, a slave from the miscellaneous family is too much to persuade, if Su embroidered lady... leave our lord Stay away."

As he spoke, he shook his head, and when he turned around, he saw a dog staring at him in a wary manner. He heyed, and said, "The girl also has a dog?"

"Yeah, I just came here." Su Wanru touched Er Gouzi, "It's not fierce, don't be afraid, father-in-law."

Zha Rongsheng nodded, took another look at Er Gouzi, and got into the carriage. Er Gouzi grinned at him, looking not to be trifled with.

"Let's go." Zha Rongsheng got into the car, and Su Wanru thanked him, "I also asked my father-in-law to come here specially, thank you."

Zha Rongsheng smiled and led the people away. Su Wanru brought Er Gouzi into the door. Aunt Huo's room was piled up with things on the floor, rice flour oil, clothing materials and snacks. Everyone was lying on the window or sitting on a chair, all with ambiguous expressions on their faces.

Even Er Gouzi, who was squatting at the door, looked at her with ambiguity in his eyes.

"Look at me, my lord is a good man, I'm bringing things for everyone. We've divided them up." As Su Wanru said, she turned her head and saw Du Zhou standing at the door, and she was pulled out by him the next moment, and said in a low voice: "I My little ancestor, this must have been sent by Prince Ning who was on the boat last time."

Su Wanru nodded.

"All of them are perverts!" Du Zhou snorted, "Don't even think about it!"

Su Wanru smiled perfunctorily and awkwardly, "I'm already embarrassed, so you can just stop mentioning it."

"Wherever you go in the future, I will go with you." Du Zhou frowned, and Su Wanru waved her hand, "Don't. If you don't make sure, whoever has seen you will lose your life. Remember, remember to change your name when you go out." Change your face and be more heroic."

Du Zhou said nothing.

"Everyone is busy celebrating the New Year, the shops on the street are closed, and there are always firecrackers coming from all around, so there is a New Year's celebration...

On the 29th year, Su Wanru was dragged by Zhou Xian to the medical center where Mei Yu stayed, and invited Mei Yu to come to the embroidery workshop. Mei Yu blushed and couldn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Then I will cause trouble for everyone."

"No trouble, just an extra pair of chopsticks." Zhou Xian said, and then said: "Dr. Mei, I've been dizzy recently, and I can't sleep at night. Can you show me?"

Su Wanru slanders, you can't sleep because of missing spring.

Mei Yu just looked at Su Wanru, and she raised her eyebrows, as if you could figure it out.

"Okay!" Mei Yu agreed and gave Zhou Xian her pulse. Su Wanru sat with her chin on her back and watched, with a dog squatting at her feet. Let the miscellaneous find you."

"Eunuch Cha." Su Wanru stood up, a little surprised, "You are looking for me, what do you need?"

Er Gouzi also stood up and barked at Zha Rongsheng twice, "Wow."

"Take a step to talk." Zha Rongsheng was a little afraid of the two dogs, and shouted, "Go", and asked Su Wanru to go to the door, and whispered: "Are you free today, go and see our prince, just be Miscellaneous, please."

Su Wanru frowned and asked, "You're being polite."

"My lord's old injury has reappeared." Zha Rongsheng sighed, "After fighting with Lord Hou last time, the old injury has reappeared faintly. I have been taking medicine these days, but it has not improved. I have lost a lot of weight. The servant girl felt distressed, so she decided to invite the girl to see the prince and talk to him, her mood will be better, and her injury will heal faster."

Su Wanru didn't want to go, she turned around to find him as soon as she uttered harsh words, making her seem like she was trying to seduce him, she immediately wanted to reply, you can just go to the doctor, but when she said it, she felt that it was a bit too much .Zhao Zhongyuan has nothing to do with her other than her surname. Now that her old injury has recurred, it would be too much for her to deal with it indifferently. "My lord is ill. I should go to see him due to emotion and reason. Father-in-law, please be polite."

No matter what, they haven't turned their faces at the moment, and they are still friends.

She still has to stay in the capital, and it is not a bad thing to offend one person less. Su Wanru nodded with a smile, and said to Zhou Xian and Mei Yu: "I have something to do when I go out, you can talk slowly." Then follow Zha Rongsheng The carriage, Er Gouzi jumped into the carriage and arched into the carriage.

"This dog... come down quickly, come down quickly." Zha Rongsheng shouted, Er Gouzi ignored him, followed Su Wanru, curled up at her feet, Su Wanru said awkwardly: "He is clingy, you can't drive him away, Just let it go, he doesn't make a fuss."

The corners of Zha Rongsheng's mouth twitched, so he could only sit on the shaft and follow the carriage back.

The car entered the archway alley in front of King Ning's Mansion, Su Wanru quietly lifted the curtain and glanced at the opposite side. The door was closed, and there was no guard at the door. Looking at her, she was startled, poked its head and said, "What are you doing, keep an eye on me for your master. My business has nothing to do with him."

Er Gouzi barked softly.

When the car entered Prince Ning's mansion, Zha Rongsheng personally helped Su Wanru down. She casually gave her hand as if she had done it countless times.

Suddenly he understood what he had always thought was strange about Su Wanru.

He obviously came from a low family background, but the inadvertent exquisiteness in his gestures seems to be engraved in his bones. It seems that he has lived in an environment where people are serving him since he was a child, and he was pampered and raised.

How strange!
Zha Rongsheng was puzzled, but Su Wanru followed him to the inner courtyard without looking at him.

Zhao Yan lived in the main courtyard, there were not many servants in the palace, the surroundings were deserted, and there was no New Year atmosphere, the two of them walked through the inner courtyard with a dog, and the maids and women who came and went at the door all looked at Su Wanru.

Although she was here last time, she looked different that time than today, so everyone didn't recognize her.

"Inside." Zha Rongsheng lifted the curtain of the warm pavilion, and a burst of hot air rushed out. She paused and entered the door. Zha Rongsheng wanted to stop Er Gouzi, but before he could open his mouth, Er Gouzi slipped away After entering the door first, he lay at the door and did not move.

Zha Rongsheng couldn't do this anymore, so he gritted his teeth and glared at the dog, then backed out.

Zhao Yan was wearing a white tunic, leaning against the kang under a blanket to read a book, his complexion was not good, and he was indeed a little thinner. When he heard the footsteps, he put down the book and turned his eyes. He was taken aback, smiled, and said: "Why are you here?" After finishing the sentence, he casually grabbed the coat on the head of the bed and put it on his body, "Sorry, I'm sorry."

"I heard that your old injury has recurred, what did the doctor say?" Su Wanru sat down on the chair at the foot of the bed, Zhao Yan straightened her clothes, lifted the blanket off, and said with a smile: "It's just an old injury, it hurts a little when you get cold, it's okay of."

"Eunuch Zha is going to invite you?" He shook his head helplessly, and poured her a cup of tea, "There are many things to do during the Chinese New Year, so why don't you come here again, did you delay things?"

Su Wanru took the tea and shook her head, "I'm idle, I'm fine."

"That's good." Zhao Yan was very happy to see her, and his complexion seemed to improve a lot, "Why is there an extra dog, did you raise it?"

Su Wanru nodded.

Er Gouzi stared at Zhao Yan and barked twice, got up and lay down in front of Su Wanru's heels, as if he wanted to stop someone.

"It's a human dog." Zhao Yan sat across from him with a smile and looked at Su Wanru, "It seems to have lost some weight, is it because there are too many things to do?"

Su Wanru replied: "Fortunately, I used to rush to work like this before, it's nothing." Then she looked at him and said, "Is the medicine useless? Don't you need to see another doctor?"

"No, you don't need to find a doctor. I can prescribe the prescription myself." Zhao Yan said softly, "Is there anything going on in the next year? If you have nothing to do, why don't you go to my village for a few days? There are hot springs over there. A soak can not only relieve fatigue, but also remove moisture."

Of course Su Wanru would not agree, she hurriedly asked to go back, but Zhao Yan had already continued: "You can invite Aunt Huo and the others together, I...won't go."

She choked immediately, feeling ashamed of a villain's heart over a gentleman's belly, and said with a dry smile: "I have to hurry up, thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

Zhao Yan smiled, thinking of something, "Wait for me." He got up and took a small box from the top of Duobao Pavilion, and handed it to her, "Look at it."

Su Wanru glanced at him, took it over and opened the box, opened it and was surprised, "Why did you have this?"

It is a set of needles, not gold-plated or silver-plated, but a set of needles of all sizes. She has never seen several extremely thin hair-like needles. It's ingenious."

Zhao Yan said helplessly: "No matter how delicate it is, it can only be used by you. I can't understand it at all. How about sending it to you, just as if I helped me solve a problem."

Although Su Wanru liked it but didn't want to accept it, he leaned halfway to look at her, with a soft tone, "I don't give it away for nothing, in exchange, you can draw me a picture. I haven't had a portrait in these years, if I do it someday It’s a pity that the future generations don’t know the appearance.”

"That's it." Su Wanru didn't know how to refuse at all. To someone like Zhao Yan, even saying a harsh word would be a kind of blasphemy and hurt. She coughed and said, "Then I'll use charcoal pencil, don't you?" Dislike it."

He shook his head, got up, took charcoal pencils and rice paper from the cabinet, spread them for her, took a chair and sat opposite her, and said with a smile: "Is it possible?"

"Okay." Su Wanru sat down, Ergouzi moved to her feet, grinned at Zhao Yan twice, Su Wanru patted its head, "Be quiet."

It lay still on the ground again.

It was getting dark, and all the yamen servants who were not working as night errands in the clan's mansion returned home. Lu Cheng and Min Wang went in with wine, and it became lively inside after a while. Everyone set up a table on the path. Before drinking and chatting, in the yard, Shen Zhan easily climbed over the wall and entered. It was dark inside, and there was no light in the room.

He walked towards the main entrance with a copper tripod in one hand and a jar of wine in the other, and when he put the tripod on the ground, he heard a hoarse voice from inside, saying, "Shen Zhan?"

Although Shen Zhan is here for the first time, no one will come except him.

"I'm free, I'll bring you a jar of wine, dare you come out, what's the matter in the shrinking room." Shen Zhan stretched out his hand to push the door, and when the door opened, a teacup flew out, hitting his face directly, his head He raised his hand crookedly to catch it, and shook his head, "I can't do enough strength."

"Heh!" Su Ji sneered, "When you were beaten by me back then, I didn't hear you say that you were not strong enough."

Shen Zhan went in, sat down on the round table in the middle without lighting the lamp, put the wine on the table, poured out the tea in the teacup, poured the wine, and drank it boldly, "I was afraid back then, I'm afraid of you, otherwise you can beat me with your thin arms and legs."

Su Ji snorted coldly.

"Not convinced? Practice again?" Shen Zhan poured wine again, "Don't dare to do it, come and drink, you won't even dare to drink wine, right?"

The door opened, and Su Ji came out. With a lift of his foot, the stool at the door flew over. Shen Zhan slapped the table and turned over. He caught the stool with one hand and placed it on the ground. The two greeted each other in the main hall. You come and I punch and kick, but there is no sound at all.

Su Ji was not in good health, Shen Zhan pressed his fist against his throat after a cup of tea, he snorted coldly and said: "If you want to kill, kill, you are like a bitch."

"Kill you and bring wine?" Shen Zhan retracted his fist, sat down at the table, and kicked the stool to Su Ji.

Su Ji suddenly thought of something, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Zhan's neck, gritted his teeth and asked, "Did you look for her? Yes, I should have thought that she would not be able to enter the clan's mansion without your help. Shen Zhan you This little man."

Shen Zhan was not surprised either, holding the cup and looking at Su Ji with a blurred face, "I'll settle the score with me after you go out. It's useless to talk about it now."

"Who said it's useless." Su Ji strangled his neck, his face full of anger, "I can drag you to die together."

Shen Zhan didn't take it seriously, "Do you want to drink this wine or not, I'll take it away."

Su Ji did not let go. If he was afraid of someone because he was locked up here, he would not be Su Ji. Shen Zhan was not afraid of him, and said, "She is jumping up and down to save you. If you die now , what should she do?"

Su Ji paused and loosened her hands, "What is she doing?"

Shen Zhan patted Su Ji's hand off, poured wine for him and passed it over, "...what kind of ghost girl is she, she works hard, and leads a few people to work secretly, I didn't understand what she meant, The little girl is very shrewd, and it's not like you don't know it."

Su Ji smiled when he thought of Su Wanru. Although his sister is pretty but smart, even he and his eldest brother can't compare, "How can you guess what she is going to do."

"I told her not to do it, but she didn't believe me." Shen Zhan complained, "It's useless to say what I said, and she won't stop until you are rescued."

Su Ji clenched the teacup tightly and didn't speak.

"I brought you a copper tripod." Shen Zhan pointed to the door, "It's okay to practice, she's all fat and her eyes are red from crying."

Su Ji turned his eyes away, and his voice was bitter: "Shen Zhan, if you take advantage of others, I will die, and I will turn into a ghost to seek your life." If he used to say these things are useless, he will do it directly.

But it's different now, he... can only say these dry, weightless words.

"What can I do." Shen Zhan leaned on the chair and looked at Su Ji, "What can you do."

Su Ji was taken aback, looked up at the roof above his head, drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp, put the empty glass on the table, and stood up with a flick of his sleeves, "It's not about the battlefield. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. You You are against her, so why mess with her and hurt her!"

Shen Zhan also went out with him, looked at the pitch-black sky, and said, "It's not up to you to decide whether to oppose or not. It's me!"

"Really." Su Ji looked at him sarcastically, "It's not easy for you to become what you are today. Could it be that you can abandon all this for the love of your children and become an enemy of Zhao Zhiang? Do you know the consequences of doing this? Everything will disappear, and even your descendants in a hundred years will have to bear endless infamy, are you willing?"

"This is my business." Shen Zhan leaned on the door frame, pointed to the bronze tripod, "Can you move it?"

Being provoked by him, Su Ji gave a cold snort of disdain, and stepped forward to the bronze tripod with one hand, but when Keli took out the tripod, it didn't move at all.

"It's really impossible." Shen Zhan stepped forward, lifted the copper tripod with one hand, and raised his eyebrows triumphantly.

Su Ji thought about the past, stopped looking at him and turned and said angrily, "You better hope that I can't get out, otherwise, even if you kneel in front of me, I won't marry her to you."

Shen Zhan glanced at him, "You think you can still decide about her."

"Can you, let's see." He said, looking back at him again, "Don't tell her about the traitors in our army. If I am still alive in the future, I will handle it myself."

Shen Zhan nodded, brought the tripod in, and said, "Practice hard." Then he slapped the dagger on the table, "I will protect her, you take care of yourself." Then he planned to leave.

Su Ji's voice came from the room, muffled, showing a decadent struggle, "Shen Zhan... don't bully her."

Shen Zhan paused, did not speak, only nodded.

There was a muffled sound of fists hitting the wall in the room, and dust fell from the rustling wall. Su Ji squatted on the ground with his head in his arms. He straightened up after a long time, turned around, stood at the door and looked at the copper tripod, and was silent for a while. .

Shen Zhan went straight back to the Hou Mansion, and Qingliu waited for him at the door. When he saw him, he pointed to the opposite side and said in a low voice, "Master, the girl has gone to the opposite side, but she hasn't come out yet."

"It's a dead thing." Shen Zhan turned around and went out, "It's almost a curfew, why are you talking so vigorously?"

Su Wanru handed the painting to Zhao Yan, "I didn't outline the prince's demeanor, it's a shame."

"It's beautiful." Zhao Yan smiled, holding it in his hand fondly, "I'll mount it later, where can I hang it..." He looked around and said with a chuckle, "Do you think it would be nice to hang it in the study?" .”

Su Wanru didn't express her opinion, but said with a smile: "It's your portrait in your home, hang it wherever you want."

"A Jin." He walked over, looked down at her, his moist breath seemed a little weak, and said in a low voice, "Wait for me." He turned around and went out after a while, took a red envelope and handed it to her. She said, "I'm going to enter the palace early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid I won't have time to see you. I'll give you the lucky money in advance. I wish you a healthy New Year and everything goes well."

Su Wanru was taken aback, and said with a smile: "I'm not a child, so I don't need lucky money."

"In front of me, you are just a child." He handed it over and patted her head, "Put it under the pillow, and live a long life!"

With an extra red envelope in her hand, she laughed awkwardly, thought for a while, and said, "Then it seems that I have to send another gift back."

Zhao Yan smiled, with helplessness in his eyes.

In front of him, she was always wrapped in armor, not showing her true face.

"I'm leaving." Su Wanru took the needle and the New Year's money, "You don't have to see me off, Er Gouzi and I will take a walk back, there is still a moment before the curfew, so there is time."

Zhao Yan never forced her, nodded and said: "It's quiet at night, it's good to walk around." He added: "Don't be afraid, I'll send someone to send you off secretly, you just don't know."

Su Wanru couldn't refuse, she thanked and called the two dogs, one person and one dog walked out, Zhao Yan was standing outside the yard looking at her, wearing a pure white cloak, the whole person was like a mural hanging on the wall.

She sighed, regretting that she had softened her heart again.

"In the future, you are not allowed to rely on other people's power." Su Wanru warned Er Gouzi, "Even with your master protecting me, I can still stew you."

Er Gouzi followed her whimperingly, with a look of grievance on his face.

The side door opened, Su Wanru gathered her clothes, her heart felt relieved, she let out a breath, and said: "Okay, those who hurt the spring and the autumn, you have to be qualified." Said and walked out down the alley, and...

I saw a light in the middle of the dark, wide and silent street. The light was very bright and beating, reflecting a person who was sitting on an armchair with his legs crossed. meaning.

Su Wanru chuckled, and whispered to Er Gouzi, "Run!"

Saying that, one person and one dog slid away, and jumped out from the man's eyes. The man froze for a moment, sat up straight, and watched one person and one dog run away.

He said angrily: "This stupid dog!" He also ran after him.
