Straight man of steel

Chapter 373 I Miss You

Zhang Yuan only tasted a few drinks and toasted to everyone.

After the banquet was over, he returned to the main building alone. Although Du County is not very far from Lantian Mountain, he may not have returned for a long time.

When he was about to step in, Zhang Yuan saw that the bamboo building on the left was still lit.

Struggling in my heart, I changed direction.

The door on the first floor of the bamboo building was closed, so Zhang Yuan knocked on the door.

After a while, there was a creak, and the door was opened from the inside.

"you are?"

"you are?"

Two questions sounded in unison.

"I have never seen you in Zhang Mansion."

Zhang Yuan frowned, did Zhuo Wenjun find another girl to serve him?

He thought that either Xiaoqing or Xiaoya had been by Zhuo Wenjun's side during this time.

"I am the eldest daughter's handmaid, who are you?

I have never seen you in the mansion either. "

This maid is quite powerful.

"I am the master here, is the eldest daughter resting?"

The servant girl seemed a little surprised. She knew the news that Zhang Yuan was coming back today, so she guessed Zhang Yuan's identity when Zhang Yuan said this, and she didn't doubt it.

"The eldest daughter is reading a book upstairs, and Mr. Zhang moves into the hall, and the servant girl goes to pass it on."

Zhang Yuan nodded, and then went in.

The style of this bamboo building has not changed since it was built.

I thought Zhuo Wenjun would make some changes after he came back, but now it still looks the same.

However, the green bamboo, which is the main building material, has faded its green color.

Just like Zhang Yuan, he is no longer young.

Because the ancients wore cloth shoes and walked lightly, even if it is a wooden building, there is no sound when going downstairs.

When Zhang Yuan looked back, Zhuo Wenjun had already stood at the stairs for a while.

"Have you had a good time?"

After being stunned for a short while, Zhang Yuan felt really embarrassed, and then he said something that made the atmosphere even more embarrassing.

"Fortunately, it still looks familiar here."

"Yeah, after you left, I just asked people to clean it every day, and I didn't let people change the furnishings at will."

"Have a heart."

The scene came to a standstill for a while, and Zhang Yuan didn't know what to say next.

Two lifetimes of human beings, it is true that they have never been in love.

Altogether, this man has lived to be almost 40 years old, and he has been single and solo to this point.

"Axiang, you go out first and close the door."

"Yes."

After Zhuo Wenjun's maid left, she approached Zhang Yuan step by step.

As a result, Zhang Yuan was slowly retreating, until he reached the wall and could not retreat.

"You are in your thirties, why are you still single, you don't like men, do you?

That's not right, even if Longyang is good, it won't delay marrying a wife. "

Zhuo Wenjun bit his lip, talking about thinking about Zhang Yuan being single for so long.

"I don't have the hobby you said!"

Zhang Yuan raised his voice, wanting to refute and argue with her.

"Then tell me why you never get married. With your status in Chang'an, many people should want to be a matchmaker."

What Zhuo Wenjun said is good, even though there were a lot of gossip about Zhang Yuan in the past few years, since Zhang Yuan went to participate in the Battle of Mayi and then returned.

The wind direction in Chang'an City changed. I don't know how many matchmakers came to the door, wanting to introduce some ladies from 16 to 20 years old to Zhang Yuan.

These people don't care about Zhuo Wenjun's existence, nothing else.

According to the rules of this era, even if Zhang Yuan marries Zhuo Wenjun, he cannot be his wife.

Since the position of main wife is there, Zhang Yuan's concubines and even the warm-up girl are not considered by those families.

Zhang Yuan, who was quite disturbed by these things, had no choice but to trouble Princess Pingyang to spread the news, saying that he had no intention of starting a family.

This stopped most people's thoughts. As Zhang Yuan got older and older, fewer and fewer people came to be matchmakers.

"Well, there was it earlier, but it's gone now."

Zhuo Wenjun didn't know whether it was affirmation or denial, but he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"Then why don't you choose a suitable lady from all over the world to handle the major events in life?"

Zhang Yuan touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Isn't it impossible to see people? I don't want to talk about those portraits.

The matchmaker said that each of the ladies was prettier than the other, but the portraits were all drawn with just a few lines, and they all looked the same. "

Speaking of which, Zhang Yuan still looked a little angry.

To be honest, it would be nice to have a portrait. Silk is inherently soft, and the ink will seep through, so it is extremely difficult to give a portrait.

In this era, it is completely relying on matchmakers to open their mouths.

Counting down the love stories of big men, all of them are first to see people before liking them.

For example, Liu Che and Wei Zifu.

Like Wang Zhaojun, if it wasn't for the unsightly portraits, would he be able to win the Xiongnu Chanyu?

Emperor Han Yuan was willing to let Wang Zhaojun go to the Xiongnu's side, and he saw a ghost.

So Zhang Yuan didn't believe in those portraits of ladies, just like he didn't believe in those pictures of beauties in Moments.

"So that's why you didn't marry a wife?"

Zhuo Wenjun felt that her outlook on life was about to be subverted by Zhang Yuan, although she didn't know what an outlook on life was.

"Ahem, it can't be just this, there are other reasons."

"what reason?"

"busy."

"What are you busy with?

I heard from Zong Xing that the most leisurely person in Du County is Tai Xueling. "

"Haha, how do they know what I am thinking every day.

I am busy with state affairs, the big man can see half of what Zhang Yuan is today..."

Zhuo Wenjun glared at Zhang Yuan, who immediately panicked.

"Oh no, a third of the credit.

There must be one-third, and it cannot be lowered. "

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Yuan increased the Han's grain output by up to half with just two tools: the Quyuan plow and potatoes.

In an era when many people did not have enough to eat, potatoes were a staple food rather than a dish used in cooking.

"So, you're really busy with state affairs all day long."

"Well, sure.

No, His Majesty entrusted me with another important matter. "

"So you will continue to be busy in the future?"

"It is estimated that this matter will not see results in one or two years."

Zhang Yuan didn't notice the change in the expression on Zhuo Wenjun's face, and wanted to talk about some political affairs about the big man on his own.

"Look, as long as I do this, then next year we big men will be able to destroy the Xiongnu.

Not to mention that they are all wiped out, at least there will be no traces of the Huns in the south of the Yellow River
Uh-huh."

This feels kinda good.

Perhaps because he couldn't bear Zhang Yuan's long-winded words, Zhuo Wenjun directly blocked Zhang Yuan's mouth.

"I miss you."

Zhang Yuan, who hadn't tasted what it was like yet, felt a little lost.

But as soon as I heard this sentence, the sense of loss completely dissipated.

"I miss you too"
