Wearing a book to save Ma Wencai

Before he could slow down, his body reacted first: "Wait."

The groom stopped in bewilderment.

Zhu Hanzhang said: "Go and find out what happened?"

After a while, the groom told her what he had inquired word by word: "The stall is a scholar surnamed Liang, and a calligraphy and painting sells for five yuan. A young man surnamed Wu thinks he sells expensive, saying that he stole money." People, overturned the scholar's booth."

After hearing this, Zhu Hanzhang took off his purse, poured all the remaining money into his palm, handed it to the groom, and said slowly: "He is also a poor man. A scholar can only do what a scholar should do. Find a school to study hard. Obtaining fame and fame is far more powerful than it is now."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hanzhang savored these words carefully, so he implicitly hinted that Liang Shanbo would go to the academy to study, so as to speed up the progress of the story, right?She thought this way, if Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai met sooner, then the scene of Zhu Yingtai's love at first sight would be earlier, and she would not have to worry about Ma Wencai meeting Zhu Yingtai.She also had plenty of time to cultivate a relationship with Ma Wencai, a win-win situation!

Ma Wencai squinted at Zhu Hanzhang's posture of giving money to strangers, and when he thought of the way she spent money for himself, he immediately felt unhappy.

You were still picking out discounted things just now, but now you are generously giving money to others?

He is not as good as a stranger as a jade pendant.

Back at Zhu's mansion, Ma Wencai got out of the carriage without saying a word, leaving Zhu Hanzhang alone.

He left Delisuo, Zhu Hanzhang thought he had something important to do, so he didn't care.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Hanzhang also got out of the carriage, and her elder brother and second elder brother stood at the door.Seeing the two of them, she called out affectionately, "Brother."

Zhu Shuobo was holding a pink piglet in his arms. When he saw her and Ma Wencai get off the same carriage one by one, his expression was not very good-looking. While stroking the pig's head, he said plausibly: "You may not Bad."

Zhu Hanzhang doesn't care much about it. For scholars, the relationship between men and women is very important.She is still understandable.

Zhu Yuanheng glanced at his younger brother, with some scruples, bent over, and asked in a low voice in front of her: "What's the matter with you? Brother Ma doesn't look very happy?"

Zhu Hanzhang looked puzzled: "Is he unhappy?"

Okay, it's useless to ask.

The two brothers stood together, Zhu Hanzhang asked casually: "Big brother, why don't you go in?"

Zhu Yuanheng replied: "Someone is going to be a guest in a while."

"Wow," she said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I'll go in first!"

"Okay," Zhu Yuanheng nodded, glanced at Zhu Shuobo again, cleared his throat, and said, "Stay in the room obediently."

She obediently replied: "Understood."

In the evening, only Zhu Hanzhang and her mother were at the dinner table.It was originally planned to have a meal with the whole family, but now there are only two of them.Zhu Hanzhang saw the disappointment on his mother's face, so he grabbed a person and asked, "What are you all busy with?"

The man replied: "There are guests in the mansion, the young masters are accompanying, and the master is busy with work in the study."

Zhu Hanzhang nodded, indicating that he knew, and suddenly thought of Ma Wencai, "Then why is Mr. Ma not here?"

"This..." The man hesitated for a while, "Master said he is not hungry."

"Oh," Zhu Hanzhang took a deep look at the man.

She ran to her mother and sat down, comforting her: "There's nothing you can do about it. Etiquette must be considered carefully, and you have to do business. Mother, please be considerate. No, I'll have dinner with you." .”

There was a hint of relief on Zhu's mother's face, and she complained with distress, and said: "Fortunately, I have you, unlike your brothers, who don't even have time to have a meal with me all year round."

This is still wishing for her two elder brothers. Ever since Zhu Yuanheng came back from business, the three of them have accompanied her every meal.

Zhu Hanzhang continued to coax: "Don't worry, mother, I will always be with you in the future!"

After this meal, although there were few people, it was not deserted.Zhu Hanzhang kept chattering, making his mother happy, and almost choked on several occasions.

After the mother had finished eating, she was helped back to the room to rest, leaving her to continue eating alone.

Zhu Hanzhang took a mouthful of fish meat, put it in his mouth, and suddenly did something, swallowing the fish meat.The messenger brought over the person who answered the question earlier and asked, "Why doesn't Ma Fonian come to eat?"

That person was found by someone by name, panicked, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "This, this..."

Being kneeled by someone can easily shorten one's lifespan!

Seeing him like this, Zhu Hanzhang felt a little helpless, she gently explained to the man: "Get up quickly, I just want to know more about Mr. Ma's situation."

The man looked puzzled, and then suddenly realized that the young lady was Huai Chun.

Zhu Hanzhang naturally didn't know what this man was thinking, but this man stood up obediently, calmed down a lot, and added embellishment: "I heard that after Mr. Ma came back in the afternoon, he never came out of the room. He didn't even see the school boy who served him. No one else can see him. It must be because he is in a bad mood. I saw that Mr. Ma didn't eat much at noon, if he doesn't eat at night, then..."

Hearing this, Marvin wasn't just in a bad mood, he was in an extremely bad mood.

Could it be that what Zhu Yuanheng meant, this person went shopping with her on the street, and when he came back, his mood changed?

Zhu Hanzhang thought for a while, and thought of the walnuts he smashed a few days ago, so he put down his chopsticks suddenly and came up with an idea.

She told Xiaotao: "Xiaotao, didn't I smash a lot of walnuts a few days ago? You go to the kitchen and use them to cook some porridge. And make a few appetizers. You don't have to do it too well, just use it slowly. "

Xiaotao didn't know why, but did as she was told.

Seeing that there were no other orders, the man also left.

After a while, Xiaotao arrived. She cooked walnut sesame lily porridge and three side dishes according to Zhu Hanzhang's taste.

Although it is a low performance, it is still full of color and fragrance.

Soft and smooth, delicious.

"The taste is delicious," Zhu Hanzhang was very satisfied. She took Xiao Tao's hand and sincerely apologized: "Xiao Tao, I'm really sorry. I might pretend that I made this meal to coax others. Don't be angry."

Xiaotao was a little surprised, she was wondering why she did it differently than usual, but now she understands.It turned out to be to coax people, she snickered: "Small things, small things, I will keep them secret."

Carrying the lunch box to the Ma Wencai courtyard, the courtyard was quiet, Zhu Hanzhang hesitated for a while, and then mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

There was no light in the house, not even a glimmer of light.

Zhu Hanzhang knocked on the door again, this time adding self-introduction: "Mr. Ma, it's me, are you there? I saw that you didn't have dinner, so I specially made some food for you to have a taste of."

There was still no movement in the house.

Is there no one in the house?

Zhu Hanzhang put down the lunch box suspiciously, picked up the corner of his skirt, and was about to kick towards the door.

It was also a coincidence that the door opened just as she was about to touch the door leaf.She hurriedly stopped her movements, but still staggered, almost falling to the ground.

She held on to the door frame and kept patting her chest: "Oh, I was scared to death, but luckily I didn't fall."

Ma Wencai quickly retracted his outstretched arm, and coughed softly behind his hands: "Is Miss San okay?"

Zhu Hanzhang picked up the lunch box, showed it in front of Ma Wencai, and said with a smile, "I'll bring you the meal."

Marvin glanced at it and asked, "You did it?"

That's what he said, but he still turned sideways and let her in.

Zhu Hanzhang entered the house in the dark, and said as he walked, "Of course, I made it specially because you didn't eat."

Ma Wen saw that she was walking very hard like a blind person, so he strode to the table, took out a fire pocket, and lit the kerosene lamp.Suddenly the room became much brighter.

Zhu Han walked to the table, opened the lunch box and took out the food.

Ma Wencai sat down, looked at the good-looking food on the table, and asked hesitantly, "Can I eat it?"

Why does this sound like an insult?A trace of dissatisfaction arose in Zhu Hanzhang's heart, but he thought that this food was Xiaotao's handiwork, so he restrained his dissatisfaction, "You have to try it to know if you can eat it."

She handed Ma Wencai a pair of chopsticks with a smile on her face, and then went to serve the porridge.

Ma Wencai picked up a piece of bamboo shoot, and asked again uncertainly: "Is this a bamboo shoot?"

Zhu Hanzhang glanced at it in his spare time, "Yes, there are also Sweet and Sour Vegetarian and Sweet and Sour Short Ribs, you can try both."

"Oh," Marvin replied, "I don't like sweets."

Zhu Hanzhang paused for a moment, the hand that held the porridge shook, and a few drops of porridge splashed out.

That would be worse, except that the fried meat with bamboo shoots is not sweet, the rest are.

"Yes...can't you eat anything sweet?"

Ma Wen just glanced at the porridge in her hand, and slowly said: "No, I don't like it, but I can eat it."

He tasted the bamboo shoots, then took the porridge from Zhu Hanzhang's hand, "It tastes pretty good."

Hearing such an answer, Zhu Hanzhang felt relieved, "That's good."

Seeing that Ma Wencai tasted a few mouthfuls of each dish, Zhu Hanzhang nodded in satisfaction, and took out a pair of chopsticks from the lunch box, ready to eat together.

Marvin raised his head and stared at her suspiciously.

Zhu Hanzhang explained innocently: "I didn't eat at night."

She coaxed her mother all night and did not eat a few bites of food.And in her eyes, as long as she is not full, it is called not eating.

Ma Wencai was stunned for a moment, looked away, and continued to eat.

Not only that, he also took the initiative to bring food for her.

Zhu Hanzhang was flattered. She looked at the dishes in the bowl and thought about other things.

Maybe he was really hungry, so Marvin had a big appetite and ate most of the food on the table.

Zhu Hanzhang stuffed his cheeks, and while chewing, he thought about how to take away the invitation card from Ma Wencai's hand without anyone noticing it.

When she was serving porridge, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a piece of red paper under the pillow on the bed in this room.Her intuition told her that it was an invitation in the daytime.

After eating and drinking, the two sat dryly facing each other, and Zhu Hanzhang tried his best to think of something to say to ease the atmosphere.

"Young Master Ma is almost seventeen this year, right?"

"There are still two months."

What to say next?

"Are you going to get married soon?"

"Come on, there is no wife or concubine at home," Ma Wencai paused, and continued, "My family urged me, and some matchmakers came to propose marriage, but I didn't agree."

Zhu Hanzhang nodded.

What's next?Zhu Hanzhang recalled the relationship between relatives during Chinese New Year every year.

Should I ask how my studies are doing?How much is your salary?Is there anyone you like?When will you be married?When are you going to have a baby?What are your plans for the future?

Zhu Hanzhang took another sneak peek at Ma Wencai, which didn't seem to apply to him.She is tall, rich and handsome, so she can get married whenever she wants, and she can't control it.

It was only at this time that Ma Wen spoke, "What do Miss Zhu think about scholars?"

student?Zhu Hanzhang, who has received higher education in modern times, answered in a pragmatic manner, "Reading is very important. The edification of knowledge can help you know shame and distinguish right from wrong. It is essential for everyone."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hanzhang added another sentence, "Don't call Miss Zhu San, it sounds awkward, just call me by my name."

There was a flash of joy in Ma Wencai's eyes, which he hadn't noticed before, and he called out in a low voice, "Han... Zhang..."

The pause was long enough, Zhu Hanzhang thought he was not speaking smoothly, "If you think Hanzhang is not friendly, you can also call me by my name, Bohuai."

"Hanzhang," he yelled very quickly this time, the base of his ear was dyed an imperceptible red, and soon returned to normal.
