After leaving Zhongdu, Bao Xiruo's depression gradually disappeared.It's just that Wanyan Kang still has to call Wanyan Honglie Dad, which is not what she wants.Sitting in the car, Bao Xiruo said to Mei Chaofeng: "Miss Chen, I have always spent my life involuntarily." It's always good that Kang Er is no longer bound by these people."

Because of Bao Xiruo's affection, Mei Chaofeng thought that their mother and child were very serious, and when he spoke to Bao Xiruo, his tone was always subconsciously soft.Bao Xiruo smiled and said: "If it is possible, I really want him to take my surname, we mother and son don't care about anything." Mei Chaofeng said: "That's fine." Bao Xiruo said: "But, that's me My previous thoughts. Later, I realized that in this troubled world, it is very difficult to be alone, so I might as well put in a fight, but the price of this fight is too high."

After all, Mei Chaofeng was under Dongxie's sect, so he sneered and asked, "Do you believe that Liu Bang was born with his mother and Heilong?" Someone smoothed things over for him, what are you worried about? Those two men are not good people, Wanyan Honglie is especially bad, so what if you take advantage of them?"

Bao Xiruo said helplessly: "I don't think about these anymore, anyway, as long as I, Kang'er, are at ease. I don't know how I can help him in Shaanxi?"

Mei Chaofeng thought for a while, and said sincerely: "I'll stay with you, by his side, if you don't have any accidents, you are doing him a great favor."

Bao Xiruo smiled: "That's right. Just don't cause trouble for him."

The two talked and laughed all the way, and when they arrived at a post station to rest, Wanyan Kang came over to say hello, Bao Xiruo said, "Your face is dusty." He took a handkerchief and wiped off the dust for him, Wanyan Kang closed his eyes , After a gust of fragrant wind, he opened his eyes.Bao Xiruo took the tea bowl to feed him, and he opened his mouth to take it, but Che Da looked at it and was very surprised: How old are you?After sighing, I remembered my hometown again.

Mei Chaofeng heard the sound, snorted, and ate in silence.Everyone was amazed, this woman is really rude!Before the concubine and Jie Shuai even touched their chopsticks, you ate it first!But Bao Xiruo and Wanyan Kang didn't care, the mother and son got bored for a while, just pretended they didn't see it, and started to eat.

"I don't talk about food", eight points of rice, and tea, Wanyan Kang said with a smile: "Mom, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Bao Xiruo wondered, "What's the matter? You can just make up your own mind."

Wan Yankang shook his head: "I have to ask my mother about this matter."

Bao Xiruo's heart tightened, and he remembered what Zhongdu said about the marriage proposal, and asked tentatively, "What's that about?"

Wan Yankang said: "My place is not as prosperous as Zhongdu. There are many refugees, wounded soldiers, orphans and widows, etc. I just want to..." He wanted to set up a semi-official charity organization and let Bao Xiruo preside over it .It's not very appropriate to say host. He doesn't know Bao Xiruo's ability to handle affairs very well now. Sharp language doesn't mean he can do everything in practice.But it is necessary to find something for her to do.Let’s let go of raising chickens and ducks to save rabbits, and save people first.

Bao Xiruo was overjoyed, but there was still a trace of hesitation in his words: "Me? Can I do it?"

Wan Yankang said: "Who knows everything from birth? Just right, now we have negotiated peace with the Xia people. I will find a way to go south. Mongolia should stop for a while. I just have free hands to manage Guanzhong."

Bao Xiruo was startled, and asked in a low voice, "Going south?"

Wanyan Kang raised his eyebrows a few times indiscriminately: "Ah, let's talk about it when we get back. The article hasn't been written yet."

"This?"

"Don't worry, I have my own solution, don't worry." Seeing Bao Xiruo's lack of appetite, he whispered to her and told her that she couldn't fight.

Except for this one incident, everything went smoothly along the way, but the biggest trouble was Mei Chaofeng.She didn't know why, but she had the idea of ​​teaching Yan Kang martial arts, and she kept annoyed all day long.Wan Yankang refused to learn it even if he was beaten to death. Mei Chaofeng thought that he could not teach martial arts without the teacher's permission, and he would not die after teaching the Nine Yin Manual!

Bao Xiruo watched them fight all day long, just smiled and didn't help anyone.

Laughing all the way, when passing by Yizhou, Wanyan Kang suddenly thought of someone: "Hey, I have acquaintances here." Mei Chao said in a coquettish way: "It's just some people who flatter you, they are also acquaintances, don't be shy "Wan Yankang said: "It's really an acquaintance. I met that year when I led the soldiers back to the north. I haven't met too many people who are so bold and understanding." Tell me about Zhang Rou.

Bao Xiruo said: "Oh, that Heshi Liezhizhong is not a good-tempered person, you leave when you are exhausted, don't blame Zhang Roulai again."

Wan Yankang said: "I thought about it a long time ago. When I visited here years ago, I ordered someone to go and see it." Bao Xiruo said: "Okay, okay, I know you are thoughtful."

Facts have proved that Bao Xiruo is still thoughtful.

************************

It was already late when they arrived in Yizhou, Wan Yankang didn't order someone to find Zhang Rou to meet him, but rested for one night, and the next day he took Bao Xiruo and Mei Chaofeng to Dingxing Zhang Rou's house.

It was also a coincidence that Zhang Rou was marrying a wife.At Wanyankang's age, the elders in the family are already worried about his marriage. Zhang Rou is a few years older than him, so it is considered late to marry a wife at this time.As soon as I hit the village head, I saw lanterns and festoons. When ordinary officials go out, they will avoid people passing by on red and white things. Wanyan Kang is not an exception to ask questions. He ordered the guards to call a child to ask.The child was in a hurry to grab some pastries and candies, so he ran away after speaking quickly.

Wanyan Kang told Bao Xiruo truthfully: "I have to ask for a glass of wedding wine, alas, I will lose my belt." Bao Xiruo said, "When you pass by like this, it doesn't look like giving a belt to celebrate someone's wedding. In the past, when the official prestige is displayed, you say it is to give him face, ordinary people are fine, and they are also grateful for your kindness. If you are a knowledgeable person according to what you said, this will be contemptuous of others. I am now I don’t need to wear any jewelry, and I don’t need to wear any good clothes, but you brought me so much, and you made four gifts with jewelry and satin, just like a congratulatory gift.”

Wan Yankang said: "What Mom said is true. Then let's change clothes? Just ask them to send the presents over, but we just enjoy a feast."

Bao Xiruo said, "That's right."

In that room, according to the ancient etiquette, Zhang Rou will welcome the bride later, and at this time she is still nervously preparing at home.Earlier, the prefect of Yizhou sent news that Wan Yankang wanted to see him.The Zhang family was very nervous, not wanting to work hard, so the messenger came with a gift.The envoy was also quite polite, and called Mr. Zhang Lang, saying that it was Jieshuai Feng Wangfei who returned to Shaanxi from Zhongzhong. When passing by, she thought of her old friend and wanted to see her. There are four-color gifts and ornaments given by the princess to the female family members of the Zhang family.

The local rich family of the Zhang family is still a commoner of the Kingdom of Jin. When they got married, they met people with such identities who sent gifts, especially Wanyan Kang’s reputation was quite good, and it was also a matter of good looks. Give the messenger a red envelope.The envoy weighed the red envelope and said with a smile: "It's too heavy. Jie Shuai said that it's not appropriate for the envoy not to charge some money for tea, but it would be embarrassing if he charged too much, making people regard him as a poor god. That's a big deal." It's not good. Change it to a smaller one."

So narrow, but very persistent, he smiled and begged for a small red envelope and left.

Zhang Rou also had a reputation as a chivalrous man, and there was an endless stream of people who came to help and congratulate her, and they were all amazed when they saw this.Such a senior official of the Jin Kingdom is rare.He came up again to congratulate Zhang Ju.Zhang Rou cursed with a smile, but she didn't show off these gifts that were very expensive in the local area, and greeted the guests from the front of the door.I have a good impression of this little prince in my heart.

I was saying hello to a clan elder when I heard a person behind me say: "Bride, you are so energetic!" This official dialect is different from that of the local aborigines.Turning around, Zhang Rou was taken aback: "You!" Didn't you not come?He still remembered Wanyan Kang and was busy saluting.There was a distance of two feet, and for some reason, his eyes blurred, and his arms were already raised.

Wanyan Kang was dressed in a dark green brocade robe embroidered with gold, and the white fur wrapped around the edge made him look even more handsome.Smiling and authentically said: "No way, you only pray to heaven and earth today." Zhang Rou couldn't laugh or cry: "Jie Shuai don't make fun of it." Wan Yankang said: "You have misunderstood the person, my name is Wang Na, and I passed by your place with my mother and saw the excitement. , so I came to ask for a glass of water and wine, and get a little happy."

Zhang Rou knew that he was unwilling to reveal his identity, and asked, "Madam Unknown?"Under the willow tree that has not sprouted buds, beside a green woolen sedan chair, a beautiful woman is holding another... Zhang Rou took a breath, and stared blankly at Wanyan Kang: "Mrs. , I can’t cry anymore.”

Wan Yankang took his shoulders: "Will you let me in?"

Zhang Judao: "Please." He rushed forward to invite Bao Xiruo.Bao Xiruo looked him over, and then said to Wanyan Kang: "He is much more cheerful than you, you should also smile more." Wanyan Kang said: "He is married to a wife!" Zhang Rou let the three of them into the house .The Zhang family's house is quite large, the two elders of the Zhang family were entertaining guests in the hall, seeing their son welcoming three of them in person, just looking at their appearance, they are already extraordinary.When old man Zhang saw Wanyan Kang's belt, he was startled, and when he saw him saluting with a smile, he was taken aback.Wan Yankang smiled and said, "These people, I just like Brother Zhang."

Introduced "Mrs. Wang" to the elders and asked for another seat.Bao Xiruo said: "This child is spoiled, and he said he missed your son. You are the masters on the day of great joy. We will come over like this, so as not to delay your affairs. We have to hurry, and we won't do too much Excuse me." She was gentle and courteous, very lovable, and the hearts of the two elders of the Zhang family gradually let go, and they only said that they were Zhang Rou's friends.

Wan Yankang took advantage of Zhang Rou's auspicious time to greet the bride, smiled and untied his belt and said to him, "When my sisters got married, they all said that they would add makeup to the bride, but I want to add makeup to the groom." Zhang Rou couldn't laugh or cry. "How can this be done?" Wan Yankang shook his head: "It's useful, it will be useful sooner or later." Thinking that the world may be in chaos, this is the time when local tyrants come out.This is something that the emperor can't stop.Seeing that Zhang Rou is very popular, courageous and responsible, and has some knowledge, all four things are ready, so he feels that Zhang Rou will have something to do.Forcibly stuffing the belt into his hand, he said with a smile: "If I stay any longer, Yizhou Mansion will be in a hurry. Where's the wine?"

The jade belt around Wanyan Kang's waist is rare for ordinary people in the countryside, so no one will recognize it.Only the father and son of the Zhang family, although they are farmers, they also read books, so they vaguely recognize them.If you are not a first or second rank official, who can wear a jade belt?However, Wan Yankang didn't care about Xie Xia and Zhang Rou: "I passed by here the year before last, only if you dare to do something, and when you can make a difference, there must be someone who can do something. Otherwise, why should I come here?"

Zhang Rou is not an impulsive person, she has a lot of hills and valleys in her chest, but at this moment she is still a commoner, so she can't help but be touched by his favor and encouragement.Without saying a word, he took the jade belt, poured two bowls of wine, and drank with him.Wan Yankang didn't know at this moment that he was drinking with Zhang Hongfan's father...
