Ask This Spring

Chapter 39:

Huan Shen was originally a reticent person. Seeing his mother was uneasy, he opened his mouth to comfort a few words. He caught a glimpse of the already bright sky. He confessed to Zhen Lin Huanyun, and then took the ginseng that Zhuo Lian bought yesterday. Hurry in the direction of Zhuo Mansion.

Knowing that Zhuo Lian was going to the door, Zhuo Yujin got up very early and stayed in the main hall to wait. Holding the tea cup in her hand, she sometimes stretched her head to look out, sometimes she looked down and thought. The restless appearance made Zhuo Xiaotong frown, and whispered: "Honestly, I will enter Beijing in a few days. If it is so unruly in the General's Mansion, I am afraid that you will lose all the face of our family!"

Fan Lan hurriedly finished the game, took her daughter's hand and stroked it a few times, and after the grievance in Zhuo Yujin's eyes was suppressed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Qu Fusheng walked in the door in a hurry, bowed and said, "Master, Madam, Huan Shen is outside."

"Huan Shen?" Zhuo Xiao chanted again, his elegant face revealed a bit of surprise, and he set his sights on the second daughter, "Didn't you say that when you went to the wine shop, you met Zhuo Lian? Why did Huan Shen come over?"

Zhuo Yujin shook her head blankly, "My daughter doesn't know what's going on. It's better to let Huan Shen in first. Let's ask the last question and the situation will become clear."

In the past, the relationship between Huanzhuo and his family was still close. Zhuo Xiaotong has also seen Huan Shen several times. This kid is different from Huan Jin, who has a mild temper. In the eyes. Thinking of the bloodshot black eyes, Zhuo Xiaotong slowly tightened his brows.

"Let him in." The man solemnly ordered.

It didn't take long for a long figure to follow Qu Fusheng across the threshold. Qu Fusheng was short and chubby, while Huan Shen was tall and sturdy. The two walked in one after the other, with a sharp contrast.

"Huan Shen, why are you here? Where's Lian Niang?" Zhuo Xiao's attitude is quite gentle. He is a businessman after all. He is well versed in the principle of "being a man and staying on the sidelines so that we can meet each other in the future." Even if Zhuo Lian is disobedient, he I didn't rush to clean up this daughter. It was the Zhuo family's seed, and the monk could not run to the temple if she could run away. Let her be proud of her for a while. Anyway, she had already figured out a countermeasure.

"Last night, the wind and snow were heavy and the roof was crushed by snow. My sister-in-law suffered an ankle injury. Although it was not serious, she could not get up and walk, so she could only be visited by Huan." His expression remained unchanged, and his tone was alienated and cold.

Hearing these words, Zhuo Yujin couldn't help feeling a little regretful. The Huan's restaurant was old and dilapidated, and the beams of the house collapsed. The situation must be very dangerous at that time. Why didn't Zhuo Lian break his hands? If she becomes disabled, no matter how much wine she holds in her hand, she can't estimate the weight of the cake, can't distinguish the amount of ingredients, and it is hard to make a good wine. God is really not open.

But thinking about it carefully, her good sister won't be very beautiful for a long time. Before the distinguished guest left Bianzhou, she left a token. With this thing, the magistrate would never refuse Zhuo's request.

Zhuo Xiao sighed at the right time on the same face, but did not intend to visit the eldest daughter at Huan's house. He made a few polite words with Huan Shen, as if he had remembered something, and said: "Huan Shen, Niang Niang is celebrating the New Year. Only seventeen, it is the best years of my daughter’s family. I can’t stay in the Huan’s family for the rest of my life. I am her father. If I can find a good home for her, you won’t stop me if I want to come?"

The young man's expression became more and more gloomy, he raised his eyes fixedly to look at the man in charge, and smiled coldly, "As long as Zhuo Lian never leaves the Huan family in a day, she is a member of my Huan family. Marriage matters, and Master Zhuo alone is the master. , It’s a bit wrong."

Somehow, looking at Huan Shen’s eyes, Zhuo Xiao suddenly felt a little frightened, and the actions that Huan Shen had done constantly appeared in his mind—killing a wild bear by himself, no matter what he used. Fazi, he couldn't deny the fierceness and arrogance of this person. He was stunned for a while, and laughed, "Uncle is just a joke, and the nephew took it seriously."

Huan Shen didn't answer, and didn't stay at Zhuo's house any more. He got up and went back to the wine shop. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Uncle Fu who had put the ladder on the wall.

"Second young master, the wife told me everything about last night, let's go to the roof to avoid another accident."

"Okay, I'll be here when I change my clothes."

While talking, he walked back to the room familiarly, and when he smelled a light sweet scent before his nose, he was surprised that it was wrong. Since last night, Zhuo Shi has been lying on his bed rested, and he felt excited for no reason, his breathing was rapid, his heartbeat speeded up, and the blood surging all over his body seemed to be hot.

Being frightened, Zhuo Lian didn't sleep all night, and finally couldn't stand it at dawn, and fell asleep completely, so he never noticed that unwelcome visitors were approaching.

After burning for a few hours, the firewood in the stove has long since turned to ashes, and the air is filled with bursts of coolness. The woman's exposed feet trembled slightly, her toes curled up together, looking more delicate, far more delicate than Huan. Shen's palm is much smaller.

He seemed to be bewitched, sitting on the edge of the kang, reaching out to encircle the slender and fragile ankle, his fair skin was slightly cold, but the delicate touch was exceptionally different.

In order to prevent the leg of the trousers from hitting the wound, Zhuo Lian’s trousers were cut short. Bai Shengsheng’s calf was exposed, and a thick layer of white cloth was wrapped around his ankle. Huan Shen had seen the wound and only felt that The hideous trace shouldn't show up on her.

Zhuo Lian had a nightmare. She dreamed that she fell into a bottomless lake. The water weeds at the bottom of the lake entangled her legs, and then gradually spread, wrapping her waist firmly, almost reaching it. To the point of breathlessness.

The lake in the dream was hot, without a trace of coolness, and at the same time pouring into her mouth constantly. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't escape from the lake. In the end, she had no strength and simply let it flow, but was surprised to find that the lake was gentle A lot.

Rubbing the corners of the crimson lips with his fingers, Huan Shen realized once again how much influence Zhuo Lian's skin had on him. As Zhuo Xiaotong said, the age of seventeen is the best time for a woman. Even though Zhuo's temperament is stable and rarely makes mistakes, once the apricot eyes are closed, the brows become a little childish. In the past, he was on the battlefield, and his slender figure lingered in his mind for a long time, but now he returned to Bianzhou and lived under the same roof with her. He almost exhausted all his willpower before he held it back and did not cross the Lei Chi.

Uncle Fu was still waiting outside, Huan Shen didn't dare to stay in the room, otherwise he didn't know what kind of shameless behavior he would make.

He took out a brown robe from the cabinet and draped it directly on him, without making any sound in a series of movements. The wooden door opened and closed, and the snow outside reflected a dazzling halo, Huan Shen narrowed his eyes.

When Zhuo Lian woke up, she found that there was no one in the room. Her throat was dry and astringent, and her lips were tingling. Because of the injury to his left leg, he could only land on one foot and slowly move the wall toward the table.

Huan Shen walked in and saw such a scene.

"The doctor has confessed that you must stay in bed and rest, otherwise it will be difficult to recover from the injury."

Zhuo Lian is not a person who doesn't know what is good or what is wrong. Faced with Huan Shen's concern, she smiled gratefully and explained, "I'm just thirsty."

"I'm just outside the door. If the sister-in-law has any instructions, just shout." The young man frowned.

Huan Shen first helped the woman to the edge of the kang, then folded her body and took the porcelain cup, "My mother is weak, she was frightened yesterday, but now she has not recovered, Zhen Lin and Yun Niang also went back to the room to rest, and they were very rough. Feet, please don't dislike it."

Zhuo Yan pursed her lips and shook her head. Huan Shen's gentle attitude made her feel a little flattered. At this moment, besides thanking her, she didn't know what to say.

She held the porcelain cup in her hand, and gently blown away the entangled water vapor. For fear of being hot, she could only sip it.

Huan Shen stood still with his arms folded, his eyes fell on the woman, with a serious expression, no one would have thought that he was the kind of beast who Xiao Xiang's eldest sister-in-law was.

"Did they embarrass you when my uncle went to Zhuo's house?" Zhuo Lian couldn't help but ask when thinking of this. No one knows exactly what virtue Zhuo Xiaotong is than she who has read the script. This person's six relatives don't recognize it, and even Fan Lan has been played by him in the palm of his hand. It is really not a good-natured character.

"No."

Hearing this, Zhuo Lian's eyes were surprised, and he suddenly realized. According to Mr. Yu, Guanglu Temple Shaoqing came to Bianzhou. In order for Zhuo Jiajiu to be presented to the imperial court and become an imperial wine, Zhuo Xiaotong was running around too late, so how could he put his mind on himself?

"Although the amber light brewed by my sister-in-law is not for sale, the quality of the rice wine is far better than the previous sake. It is a pity to stay in Bianzhou. Why not bring these fine wines to the capital?" Huan Shen said in his voice. With a trace of bewitching.

Although the wine industry in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not as developed as in the Republic of China, it has its own unique features. Bianzhou is too small in the end. There are only a few famous wine masters, and most of them are friends with Zhuo Xiao and want to learn skills with them. , There is no difference between dreams and idiots.

Seeing Zhuo Lian’s hesitation, Huan Shen smiled secretly in his heart, “I’m the only man at home, and I’m leaving home to go to the capital. It’s inevitable that there will be places I can’t take care of. Zhuo Xiao is also very powerful in Bianzhou and has some relationship with the government. , But if we are all at the feet of the emperor, even if he is the uncle of the general's mansion, he would not dare to do too much."

Thinking of the nameless well in the wine shop, she was still reluctant to make a decision for a while.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, Zhuo Lian couldn't help frowning, and muttered, "What's the matter?"

"I'll take a look." Huan Shen got up and came to the door, and saw many guards breaking into the courtyard.

"Yang Hu, what do you mean?"

The tall and sturdy man named by Huan Shen was shocked. He walked forward with a weeping face, and said in a low voice: "It is the order of the magistrate personally to requisition the wine shop and is willing to spend a thousand taels of silver to buy it, brother There is no way."

"County magistrate?"

"This matter is not only an order from an adult. I heard that it is still inseparable from the heavenly family. I don't know what the matter is."

Most of the guards standing in the courtyard knew Huan Shen, and their attitude was fairly polite, but they could not violate Shangguan's orders and could only stay where they were.

Zhuo Lian waited for a long time and didn't see anyone. At this meeting, he was a little flustered, and he didn't care about the young man's instructions. He staggered towards the door. When he saw a black guard standing in the wine shop, he was stunned. .

The author has something to say: This is an emotional drama~ it should be

In the discussion of filial piety in the previous chapter, everyone has a different point of view. The author thinks that even if a woman is married, she still cannot be separated from her natal family. Whether or not she is filial is not an option, but the requirement of the society at that time, but whether Zhuo Lian To remarry, she needs to make her own decision. As long as she does not leave the Huan family, Zhuo Xiaotong can't be the master.

For example, the case mentioned in the review: the mother let the second son kill the eldest son. This extreme situation is obviously unreasonable. The second son didn't want to do this. In the end, it seemed that he jumped into the river (it was too long to remember). It can be seen from this that the word filial piety has had a profound impact on ancient society. Even if his mother makes an illegal request, the son cannot refuse, and can only solve the contradiction by suicide.

There were ten evils in ancient China, and they became eight abusers in Japan. In fact, they are all related to the demands of society. Zhuo Lian cannot act unfilial in this social background. You can respect your relatives without being merciful, while humble relatives can't be filial. , Modern people seem to be very unreasonable, but in ancient times this situation was quite common.

Some readers asked if the daughters who were married far away did not go home to fulfill their filial piety. Can their parents sue the officials. If Zhuo Xiaotong went to sue, the reason given must be rebellious (beating the elder) or other reasons. He would definitely not say that Zhuo Lian would not reply. See me at Barabara at home.

This is an extreme practice, and ordinary parents would not do it. In ancient times, there was an atmosphere of adjourning lawsuits. In their opinion, suing officials was not a good thing, so Zhuo Lian considered the worst result.
