[75] Zhao Yan falls into a dream

Chapter 12 Living in Kaifeng Mansion

Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao walked all the way, and there were people who knew each other constantly greeting Zhan Zhao on the road, and Zhan Zhao responded one by one with a humble attitude.Seeing this scene, Mu Yan teased Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan is so close to the people, he enjoys the affectionate eyes of the girls on the street patrol every day." She said with a smirk.

"What are you looking at affectionately? Could it be that the girl has a taste?" Zhan Zhao looked at Mu Yan's smirk, and his mood relaxed. No matter what the future holds, at least she is by his side at this moment.The two talked and laughed all the way until they were caught up by Brother Zhou who had been looking for him all the way in front of the gate of Daxiangguo Temple. Seeing Brother Zhou who was out of breath, Mu Yan asked strangely: "Why are you in such a hurry, what happened?"

"Has it happened? I've already bought a coffin for that baby, and I asked the store to find someone to help him bury his father. The baby's body is very dirty, with many rotten sores and fleas all over his body. The people in the inn probably couldn't bear it." Don’t let him in. I think I’ll go to the inn to tidy up and take him back. You two have met and my task has been completed. Besides, your sister-in-law is about to give birth, so I don’t feel at ease.” Brother Zhou is embarrassed Said.

"That's fine. My sister-in-law is about to give birth. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have traveled far away. In this case, you should go back first, and send a message to Aunt Liu to reassure her. Tell my sister-in-law to give birth to a little nephew." I can't catch up, so I must rush back to drink the full moon wine." Mu Yan looked at the rare and embarrassed Brother Zhou and smiled.

After talking and laughing with Mu Yan, Big Brother Zhou turned back to Zhan Zhao: "Master Zhan, Aunt Liu asked me to send you Yan girl, and don't send it back until you get married, so that she won't be an eyesore." After finishing speaking, Mu Yan looked surprised, bowed her hands and saluted Zhan Zhao, then turned her head and left.Mu Yan couldn't react to Brother Zhou's words for a long time, who are these people?When she came back to her senses, she saw Zhan Zhao looking at her with a funny face: "It seems that Aunt Liu wants to marry you to me quickly!" Mu Yan looked at the sky speechlessly.

Zhan Zhao looked at Mu Yan's rare embarrassment and stopped teasing her: "Where are you staying? Now that your elder brother Zhou has gone back, it's not safe for you to stay in the hotel alone, or you wait for me later, and I'll explain it to you." The yamen servant will accompany you to the inn to pack up and move to the government office." Zhan Zhao tentatively asked what Mu Yan meant.

"It's fine, but is there a house with a kitchen in your government office? You can tell that the food in Kaifeng Mansion is not good, and I don't take advantage of you by taking care of my own food." Mu Yan actually doesn't want to live in Kaifeng Mansion, but she can't say so clearly Can only find an excuse. "It should be. I'll ask Mr. Gongsun. If it's really impossible, I can find someone to build a room for you." Zhan Zhao vaguely saw Mu Yan's plan, and directly blocked Mu Yan's retreat with words.

Zhan Zhao called a yamen servant to accompany Mu Yan to the inn to pick up things.After watching her go far, he turned back and entered the Daxiangguo Temple. Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun were discussing Zen and Buddhism with the presiding master, and Zhan Zhao was guarding them at the door.After about an hour, the door opened and Master Bao was about to go back to the government office.

Back in Kaifeng mansion, Zhan Zhao reported to the adults about inviting Mu Yan to live in the mansion.Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun also heard that this girl is not only Zhan Zhao’s savior but also Zhan Zhao’s fiancée. Naturally, they have no objection. When Gongsun Ce heard that this girl was going to live in a house with a kitchen, he laughed and teased Zhan Zhao, saying that he You Koufu found a woman who is good at cooking.He also told Zhan Zhao that there really is a small courtyard with a small kitchen in this government office, but some people have never lived in it before, so they need to clean it up.A few people were talking about the yamen servant and came to report that Mu Yan had arrived.

"That's all you brought?" Zhan Zhao wondered as he saw that Mu Yan was empty-handed and only took a small bag that couldn't be smaller. "Small, as long as you have money, it's all right. Besides, don't you still have you? Why don't you want to bleed?" Mu Yan didn't think so, she wasn't like the ancient ladies who went out with big bags. "It's rare for a girl to show her love, not to mention money, even Zhan Zhao will not refuse." Following Mu Yan's words, Zhan Zhao replied with a smile.

The two entered the mansion chatting and laughing, and when they arrived at the door of the study, Zhan Zhao went in first to report to Lord Bao, and Mu Yan then went in to meet him, and saw an old man sitting behind the desk, with a slightly dark complexion, a faint crescent shape in the center of his forehead, and his face was exposed. Majestic; the Confucian scholar with a white face and long beard behind him should be Gongsun Ce.At this time, both of them looked at Mu Yan with smiles on their faces, which made Mu Yan suddenly feel nervous like a parent.

Master Bao didn't say much when he arrived, Mu Yan saluted and got up and stood behind Zhan Zhao with her head bowed like a quail.Master Bao said with a smile: "It's rare for Zhanwei to ask the government for private matters. There is no reason for this government to be uneven. What's more, this time it is related to Zhanwei's life. I would like to ask Mr. Gongsun to choose a suitable one for Miss Ren." The residence must satisfy the girl." Master Bao's voice has not yet finished.Gongsun Ce nodded with a smile and said that he would do his best.For a moment, Mu Yan was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, she secretly scolded a group of black-bellied foxes in Kaifeng Mansion.

Led by Gongsun Ce, Zhan Zhao and Mu Yan came to a small courtyard in the southeast corner of Kaifeng Mansion.Opening the door, one enters a small semi-old courtyard. Although it is not big, it has all internal organs, including a main room, two wing rooms, a kitchen and a well.The courtyard with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters is paved with bluestone slabs, the ground floor of the main house and wing rooms is paved with marble, and all the furniture inside is made of Chinese fir.

Looking at this yard, Mu Yan was amazed, this size can even be lived in by Mrs. Bao, why is it locked?Seeing Mu Yan's doubts, Gongsun Ce told her: "This yard did not belong to Kaifeng Mansion, it was an official's house. Later, the official committed an offense and confiscated the house, and this yard was allocated to Kaifeng Mansion because it was separated from Kaifeng Mansion by a wall." But this yard is too remote and small, so it has been locked. The girl said that she wanted to find a yard with a kitchen, so she remembered this one. No matter how troublesome it is to clean up, it is more convenient than asking the guards to find someone to build a kitchen and build a kitchen. " As Gongsun Ce said, he looked at Zhan Zhao and Mu Yan with a smile. Mu Yan was fine, but Zhan Zhao got a big blush from being teased.

Gongsun Ce handed over the key to Mu Yan, and told Mr. Zhan Zhao to help Mu Yan clean up the house for five days off, and left on the pretext of having something to do.Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao were left looking at each other, there was no lack of furniture in the house, no cups, dishes, bedding and bedding, so they could only go out and buy it now.Zhan Zhao called the two yamen servants to help clean up, and he accompanied Mu Yan to go shopping on the street.

"Aunt Liu said, let you stay here until you are about to get married before going back, why don't you go and do a few sets of clothes first?" Zhao Zhao asked Mu Yan with a smile as she passed by a cloth shop. "You're very proud, aren't you? She'll send me clothes if she lets me stay for a year. Even if she doesn't send them, I'll go back and have a look next month when Brother Zhou's child is full moon. I'll just bring them when the time comes." Mu Yan Bai Bai glanced at Zhan Zhao.

"Okay, I'll go back with you next month." Although Zhan Zhao knew that Brother Zhou was married and about to have a child, he still felt sore when he thought of him talking and laughing with Mu Yan. "You, do you have time?" Mu Yan expressed doubts. "Well, it should be fine. You go back and drink the full moon wine. It only takes three or two days to go back and forth, and you can still squeeze out time." Hearing Mu Yan's doubts, Zhan Zhao felt a little embarrassed.In the past two years, she has been busy with work, and although she is not far away, she has not visited her a few times, no wonder she is suspicious.

Cups, plates, bedding, pillows, grains, seasonings, and all kinds of miscellaneous sundries, I bought a big cart, and every time Mu Yan raised her hand to pay the money as soon as she said the checkout, Mu Yan smiled and said to herself: This goose is still pretty good. Well done.After purchasing, the shopkeeper asked the store to send the items to Kaifeng Mansion, and the hungry two went to a restaurant to fill their stomachs.

After dinner, the two returned to the Kaifeng mansion, just as Wang Chao and others came back from patrolling the streets, and they exchanged pleasantries when they met. When they knew that Mu Yan was Zhan Zhao's fiancée, they unanimously revealed that "it was her" expression.I don't know what Zhan Zhao promoted her in Kaifeng Mansion.

Back in the small courtyard, with the help of Wang Dynasty and the others, they put the purchased things in place one by one. In order to thank everyone for their help, Mu Yan cooked a sumptuous dinner to reward everyone, and the guests and hostess enjoyed the meal.Since then, Mu Yan's culinary skills have gained a reputation in the Kaifeng government office.
