Return to the Song Dynasty

Early the next morning, the two babies showed up at Zhao Man's door on time.

"Are you going?" the squinting baby pouted and said softly.

The serious baby didn't speak, but the reluctance in his little eyes made people feel sore.

"Well, I have to go!" Zhao Man replied seemingly coolly, "I have to work, ah, no, I mean I have business, I have to go back to Huizhou. I am a member of the army in the barracks. Go back and defend the country." Zhao Man squatted down in front of the two little guys, and stretched out his arms to hug the little guys with great reluctance.The slaps messed up their stupid hair, arousing the strong resistance of the two little guys, and the three of them suddenly got into a mess...

"Let me give you a gift." Zhao Man always has a special fondness for the two little guys who meet by chance, and hopes that they will be happy.Zhao Man said and took out the Q version of the baby portrait he drew when he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. "Look, it's very similar to you, right? Do you like it?"

"Well, it really looks like it....Thank you." For the first time, the squint-eyed baby seriously commented on Zhao Man's paintings, instead of finding faults and satirizing Zhao Man. People can't bear it.

"Well, this one is also very good-looking." The serious baby beside him unexpectedly said a long sentence.Zhao Man was so surprised that he turned his head quickly, only to find that the serious baby was actually holding another painting in his hand.It was a sketch portrait, very exquisitely drawn, it was a gorgeously dressed little bun looking at the moon with his hand on his chin, the background was a complicated corridor, and there was a round moon hanging in the sky, it was very beautiful and very The artistic conception is completely different from the Q-version stick figure that Zhao Man took out.

"Well, the painting is pretty good, but it doesn't look like me." The squinting baby came over and commented.

"Well, it doesn't look like me." The serious baby also made a more objective evaluation.

"Who is the one in the picture? Well, I guess it's me, with eyes like mine." The squinting baby squinted at Zhao Man, and Zhao Man, who had stood up and wanted to speak, shrank back.

"It's me." The serious baby did not agree with his brother's opinion for the first time, pointing to the small face of the little bun in the painting, "The expression looks like me."

"I!"

"I!"

... The two babies held on to the drawing paper and stared at each other.They all firmly believe that what is painted in the painting is themselves.

Zhao Man stood on the sidelines, wanting to cry but without tears: "Can I say that I didn't draw you two?"I paint like this as I paint, I don't even know who I'm painting, okay?By the way, how did this painting fall out?I obviously received it? '

The duo of loyal servants complained about Zhao Man in various ways: Ouch!Zhao Canjun, can't you draw one by yourself?What's the matter with you just drawing a person?ah?Co-author of our two young masters, why don't you draw one?How can this matter be saved?Do you see what you did?What is this called...

"It's still that he can't paint, and the painting doesn't look like it."

"Well, his painting doesn't look like it." The two little guys finally reached a consensus, and decisively collected this suspected portrait of the two of them, not forgetting to ridicule Zhao Man's poor painting skills and the lack of resemblance.

After being forcibly handed over a suspicious scroll, Zhao Man couldn't tell what his mood was.The melancholy of parting seemed to be washed away by such a laugh.Take a closer look at the painting. The child in the painting is indeed similar to those two little things, especially in clothes and demeanor. Who is this child?Where have I met him?In order not to annoy the little tiger, Zhao Man did not dare to say that the painting was not the two of them at all, so he could only vaguely confuse it.

"Hey, my name is Zhao Youyi." The squinting baby said suddenly.

"Well, my name is Zhao Youmu." The serious baby also introduced himself seriously.

The duo of loyal servants couldn't stop it in time, and their eyes widened instantly: "Little ancestors, we have agreed that we can't report our names to others when we are outside." ~~~~(>_<)~~~~ I will be scolded by the manager again when I go back. '

"Well, hello, my name is Zhao Man." Seeing the seriousness of the two babies, Zhao Man also solemnly extended his right hand, shook the fat little hands of the two babies, and squeezed them reluctantly. Squeeze the fleshy palms of the little ones, "We are destined to see each other again."

Zhao Man turned around quickly, and under the reluctant eyes of the two little guys, he left the post house, stepped on the horse, and set off.The moment he flew onto the horse, Zhao Man suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu, as if the same thing had happened before, and the same scene had appeared before. That feeling was a strong reluctance to leave...

Zhao Man, who was riding on a horse, shook his head. When did he feel this way?puzzled.It's better to hurry out of the city and join the little bear, and it's serious to rush back as soon as possible.Zhao Canjun waved his hand handsomely: "Let's go!" He led the gift-giving team to gallop out of the city.The chic and handsome horse-riding heroic posture caused countless girls on the side of the road to sigh and express their hearts.

"Why hasn't Xiaoman arrived for so long? I knew I would go to the city." Yao Xiong waited impatiently, walking his horse back and forth on the side of the road outside the city.

"What are you going to do in the city?" Deputy General Yang asked suspiciously.Based on what he knows about Yao Xiong, this silly bear is purely adapted to living in the wild, and he should be unwilling to go to the city unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Hey, can't I just buy something?" Yao Xiong suddenly felt embarrassed, he hesitated, his face turned a little red.

"What are you buying? Didn't you send people into the city yesterday? Why don't you let them buy it for you directly?" Vice-General Yang saw Yao Xiong's reaction, and the spirit of gossip immediately ignited. 'Still blushing, what's the matter? '

"Why do you ask so many questions?" Yao Xiong was awkward.

"I have to ask clearly so that I can help you make up your mind. What's the matter? Xiaoqin asked you to help her sell things?" Vice-General Yang continued to delve into the enemy's situation.

"Who told you? It wasn't Xiaoqin, it was Xiaoxue. Besides, they didn't ask me to buy anything. I thought she liked the necklace I gave her last time, so I thought about buying something else. You Don't talk nonsense."

"Hey, it turned out to be Xiaoxue. Which necklace? The one at Zhenpinxuan? Well, I have to consider whether to go to the city." Deputy General Yang put his chin in his hand, thinking.

"You, you, you, you lied to me!" Yao Xiong was so angry that his scarred face turned red.

"Soldiers are not tired of cheating! You just realized it, hahaha, this stupid bear. What do you think Xiaoxue likes in you? Could it be because you are stupid and naive?" Deputy General Yang fully activated the poisonous tongue mode, sparing no effort to attack the same Brothers in the trenches. 'Hmph, who told you to get out of the order first!Not loyal enough! '

"Xiaoxue just likes me. Hmph, what are you doing? Hmph!..." Yao Xiong was not to be outdone.

"Hey, hey, stop arguing for now..." A weak voice came from the side.

"I haven't finished yet..." Yao Xiong turned back aggressively, and found that Zhao Man had arrived, looking at the two of them with a smile, and his attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, from glaring to smiling: "Then What, I, I am messing around with Lao Yang, haha, haha."

"Ah, that's right, I was playing around with the little bear, haha." Vice-General Yang also smiled awkwardly.The scene of two older bachelors exposing their old background to each other really shouldn't be watched by children, especially a child who is a scholar with a bad stomach like Zhao Man.

"Really? How did I hear that someone wants to buy jewelry from Zhenpinxuan for a girl named Xiaoxue?" Zhao Man squinted his peach blossom eyes, smiled and took out a beautifully carved red sandalwood box in Yao Xiong's eyes flickered. "I just have one here, the gold hairpin I bought in Zhenpinxuan." Zhao Man opened the box cover braggingly, and saw the whole gold hairpin gleaming with golden light. Flapping its wings and about to fly, one is lying lazily among the flowers, with layers of large petals that are clearly layered and delicate.Regardless of the small circle marks on the back of the petals, it is absolutely certain that this craftsmanship and style are produced by Zhenpinxuan.

Yao Xiong was blinded in an instant, and swallowed his saliva in disappointment. "Oh? What? No one will admit it? Then I'll give it to Miss Xiaoxue myself. This gold hairpin is so beautiful, the girl must like it!" Seeing that Yao Xiong was still embarrassed to admit it, Zhao Man continued to bully Yao Xiong Yao Xiong.

"Don't, don't, I admit it, I admit it, don't send it away by yourself! After seeing you, Xiaoxue has to be snatched away by you." Yao Xiong couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the red sandalwood box, and quickly put it in his arms inside.

"Pfft, hahahaha, it turns out that you were afraid that the girl would take a fancy to Xiaoman. But yes, if Xiaoman goes to give away the gold hairpin, there is a high probability that she will be arrested and become a son-in-law!" Vice-General Yang continued to fan the flames, unwilling to be lonely.

"Shut up, bachelors are not qualified to speak." Yao Xiong retorted.

"Hehe! It's as if you're not a bachelor. You haven't gotten married yet, and you haven't even written your horoscope yet, so you're starting to look down on us bachelors! You're getting new people and forgetting the old ones." Ah. Is it Xiaoman?" Vice-General Yang put his arms around Zhao Man's shoulders, and the two of them looked at Yao Xiong's joke in a cheap way.

"Hey? But Xiao Man, this is the golden hairpin you bought? You don't want to give it to your sweetheart, do you?" Vice-General Yang suddenly reacted, and turned to Zhao Man: "I didn't see which girl you got close to. Hey? You gave the golden hairpin to Han Xiong, what are you going to do? It's not good to let the girl down."

Hearing this, Zhao Man paused, then raised his smiling face, and said, "Don't worry, I don't have any sweethearts. I'm just curious about Zhenpinxuan's jewelry and bought them for fun." After speaking, he walked quickly to the horse and turned over. Get on the horse, "Let's go! Are you not in a hurry to start?"

In fact, Zhao Man is a bit brooding about Zhenpinxuan, Jingzhao Mansion happens to have a store of Zhenpinxuan, so Zhao Man naturally wants to inquire about it.It's a pity that after looking around a lot, apart from feeling that these jewelry designs are novel and beautiful in style, I couldn't find any clues, so I had no choice but to give up.But he was unwilling to do so, so he picked out this familiar-looking piece of jewelry as a souvenir.

Yao Xiong didn't think much about it, he only cared about getting a cheap price and being a good boy, he smirked.Vice-General Yang found it strange: 'Buy it for fun?Then you can buy men to wear it, and you can wear it yourself, right? 'Actually, since the last time when Zhao Man shed tears in front of a necklace, Vice General Yang has been paying attention to Zhao Man.It doesn't matter if you don't pay attention, this attention really found a lot of violations.

From daily life to speech and behavior, everything reveals Zhao Man's good upbringing and noble and elegant living habits. It is impossible for him to come from a small mountain village.What's more, Zhao Man is so young, but has such profound knowledge. He knows astronomy and geography, is proficient in medicine, and has a lot of research on the mainstream classics and history subsets.He has a well-organized style of conduct, and even Zhang Laoxiang is full of praise.

Vice General Yang thought about sending a letter of divorce to Yue Cheng, Yue He and the two brothers to inquire about Zhao Man's situation, and also thought about sending someone directly to Tangyin, their hometown, to find out the situation, but he didn't take action for a long time.Because he was very contradictory and entangled, because he was afraid of finding out that Zhao Man's identity was suspicious.

If in doubt, what should I do?Xiaoman has always been a good brother to everyone, and he always does his best. He is smart, funny and talented.Think about how much change Zhao Man has brought to everyone since he joined Huizhou Daying, and think about the laughter and laughter of everyone living together.Vice General Yang felt all kinds of unbearable and suffering.

But this is a border gate, and it is also in the army. This matter is also related to the safety of the border gate in Dali.After thinking about it, Vice General Yang still had a thorough discussion with Yao Xiong, explaining all the doubts in his heart to Yao Xiong carefully.Yao Xiong was silent for a long time, and then said: "Xiao Man has never deliberately concealed it, which shows that he is frank and honest. Let's let this matter go, there is no need to pursue it anymore, and don't mention it to others."

When Vice General Yang heard this, he immediately let go of the big stone in his heart, and felt that he had relaxed a lot.These days, Yo, I am really in a dilemma, extremely uncomfortable.He immediately replied: "Oh, of course I won't tell others about it. But everyone is not all fools, and you can find the problem with a little attention. I think Mr. Zhang has already noticed it." Vice-General Yang sighed helplessly Take a breath.Xiaoman is also too self-indulgent, don't you know if you have a problem!Not paying attention, really.What is it that suddenly feels like an old father worrying about his children?
