[75] Zhao Yan falls into a dream

Early the next morning, before Mu Yan got up, Zhan Zhao left in a hurry.When Mu Yan got up and heard from Shuang'er that Zhan Zhao had rushed to Daming Mansion to handle the case early in the morning, Mu Yan didn't have to worry.Mu Yan was immediately depressed, last night Zhan Zhao never said that she was going out, who would have thought that the two of them would wake up overnight and her husband would disappear.After washing up, Mu Yan went to Kaifeng Mansion, went in and inquired, and found out that Zhan Zhao was going to Daming Mansion to collect evidence together, and there was no danger, so she felt relieved.

When Zhan Zhao went out to handle the case, everything in the family returned to the calmness of the past. The difference is that there are a few more people in the family.Under the reminder of Mr. Gongsun, Mu Yan started to send Xinghua away from the capital. After discussing with Zhan Zhao for a while, she decided that it would be more convenient to send Xinghua to Changzhou to take care of her.So, Xinghua was packed up and sent out of the city by several officials with a letter.

Time flies, and the years rush by with the rising and setting of the sun every day.One spring and one autumn, every month and every year, three years passed unknowingly, the life of Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao was the same as three years ago but slightly different.The same thing is that Zhan Zhao is still in a hurry every day, but the slight difference is that Mu Yan's property has been increasing day by day. In the past three years, with the opening of more and more Baijia restaurants, Mu Yan's quarterly dividends have also increased. The richer it is.From the initial ten taels of silver per quarter to nearly white taels of silver per quarter now, Mu Yan is also good at financial management and bought a lot of fertile land and mountain land. With her good business philosophy, the virtuous circle has been going on, and her income has been quite considerable in the past few years. Now, Mu Yan is no longer that poor little girl who clangs loudly in the past. Even though she and Zhan Zhao are not from a rich family, they can still live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Mu Yan often joked with Zhan Zhao that it would be good to let him retire early, and the saving of swords and swords every day made her worry.Every time Zhan Zhao heard her say that, he shook his head. He didn't say much and Mu Yan also knew that Zhan Zhao chose an official family not because of a generous salary, but because he hoped to protect the blue sky for the people, so Mu Yan was just talking. .

On this day, Mu Yan received a letter from Changzhou, which was written by Zhan Zhao's second sister-in-law Qin.In addition to the daily greetings, the letter also specifically explained Xinghua's situation. The child has been in school for three years, and he is more polite and restrained. He just misses Mu Yan, Zhan Zhao and others from time to time, and also faintly reveals that I didn't want to come back to visit them.The letter also said that Shen Die was married a year ago, married to Qin's cousin, and just gave birth to a lovely son, and the family is doing well.

After reading the letter, Mu Yan couldn't stop smiling, not only for Shen Die but also for Xinghua who always missed their family.Putting away the family letter, Mu Yan cooks and prepares dinner by herself. She made coriander balls for Zhan Zhao to try out. Who knows that guy is addicted to eating them, and has been wanting to eat them for the past few days. For a plate of coriander balls, she even spared no expense of beauty. lure.Mu Yan was angry and funny, teasing Zhan Zhao that he lost his face even more, and even betrayed his appearance for a dish.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao heard her teasing and said: "My son never tires of fine food and fine stew. It's normal for a husband to please his wife for a delicious meal. Is there anyone who would say that a husband is not? Besides, the husband and wife are in harmony with each other." This is the relationship between human beings, how can it be said that it is so utilitarian to be seduced by beauty." That's not to mention, when talking about these shameless words, Mu Yan is so serious that she really wants to strangle him to death.

While thinking about it, Mu Yan hit the meatballs with a wooden hammer, remembering Zhan Zhao's ruffian face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she beat the meat paste even harder.I was working in the kitchen, and two little heads appeared on the side of the door. They were Brother Huan and Brother Xi.The two brothers are now more than four years old, and they are naughty every day, which makes the nanny, Mengwa and Xiaodouzi overwhelmed and unable to cope. Because of their naughtiness, they have also learned from Zhan Zhao and Mu Yan's bamboo stew.What Zhan Zhao meant was to let the two children go to school next year, so as to save them from being naughty at home every day, Mu Yan thought it was true, and it would be better to let the teachers in the school teach the two children than to teach themselves. .

Brother Huan and Brother Xi approached the kitchen from the door with a smile, and grabbed Mu Yan's clothes one by one: "Mother, what delicious food do you want us to eat?"

Mu Yan pretended to put on a straight face: "Who made good food for you, what trouble did you get into today? I haven't seen any of you all afternoon, did you sneak to Kaifeng mansion again to be mischievous?"

Brother Huan heard Mu Yan's question, rolled his eyes and said: "Mother, we are very good. I went to see Uncle Gongsun to practice calligraphy in the afternoon, and I am not being naughty. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Gongsun." Brother Xi The son echoed solemnly at the side: "That's right, we are not being naughty. It is just that we accidentally broke Uncle's inkstone."

After finishing speaking, Brother Xi, who felt that he had said something wrong, quickly covered his mouth, and aimed his eyes in Brother Huan's direction, only to see Brother Huan on the side looking at his younger brother with a look of hatred for iron and steel. Han's subtext is self-evident, "Your boy is such an idiot. Idiot. Big idiot." At the same time, Brother Huan immediately pointed his finger at his younger brother: "Mother, it was Geer Xi who broke the inkstone. I called him Don't play with that, he won't listen."

Mu Yan raised her eyebrows, looking at the behavior of her two sons, she felt amused.Although the two children are twins, their temperaments are vastly different. Brother Huan is an elf with a detached personality, and all the bad ideas of the two brothers come from his belly; Brother Xi is not the same. , the character is quite straightforward, although he always follows Brother Huan's ass, and the two brothers make trouble together, but he is always the one who does bad things, and he is always pulled out by his brother to cover his back, such as just now.

Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao talked about the personalities of the two children in private, and studied who the two children resembled more. She remembered that Zhan Zhao smiled and remained silent for a while before saying, "Of course Brother Huan is like you, and loves mischief. And full of bad ideas. Brother Xi is as honest as I am, always being bullied by you." Mu Yan thought about it and felt that the facts were so irrefutable.But as she got to know Zhan Zhao more and more deeply, or after Zhan Zhao's true nature was revealed, Mu Yan felt that she was the honest one, and Zhan Zhao was just naughty and not obvious.

Although she felt a headache, Mu Yan also knew that even if she took them to Kaifeng Mansion to find Mr. Gongsun to make an apology to him, it would probably be fruitless. Maybe Mr. Gongsun would say that he broke it himself or that there was something wrong with the inkstone itself. No wonder the children .There is no other reason, only because there are basically no little dolls in Kaifeng Mansion, and these two little monkeys are the pistachios of everyone in Kaifeng Mansion.From Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun to the cook and handyman, they doted on them tightly. The direct result was that they stayed in Kaifeng Mansion all day long, and even if they made trouble, they were covered by everyone in Kaifeng Mansion.

The most outrageous time was that Brother Huan actually drew a cat on the fold that Master Bao presented to the Holy One. As a result, Master Bao presented it to the emperor without looking at it, and directly showed his face to Master Bao in the hall. Blame also said with a smile, as expected, Yumao's son can draw cats since he was a child, and the paintings are quite similar. When he grows up, he looks like two little Yumao.In the end, not only were they not fined, but they were also rewarded with a pair of kitten paperweights carved from jade stones and asked Mr. Bao to bring them back. Seeing this brother, they both smiled and called them little royal cats.

While dealing with the two children, Mu Yan continued to cook. After a while of busy work, she finished two plates of coriander balls.Mu Yan took her sons back to the yard after the meatballs were fried and the side dishes were cut. Zhan Zhao was already waiting in the room with a sullen face.The two children unconsciously hid behind Mu Yan when they saw Zhan Zhao. When Zhan Zhao saw the three of their mothers, to be precise, he saw the two monkeys behind Mu Yan frown even more tightly. He strode over and grabbed the children one by one from behind Mu Yan and said angrily: "Did you start itching again after a few days without a lesson? Whose idea was it to pour the ink into the frying pan?" Mu Yan said Ting looked at the two sons in surprise, how could this still happen, that would be too much.

Zhan Zhao looked at brother Huan's rolling eyes, and then turned his eyes to brother Xi: "brother Xi, which of you poured the ink into the kitchen pot?" Xi brother was always afraid of exhibition. Zhao whispered: "It's my brother who said that the ink is fragrant and tastes good in rice. I'm the only one..."

In fact, even if Zhan Zhao hadn’t heard Brother Xi’s words, he knew that Brother Huan must be doing something wrong. This kid didn’t know where he came up with so many evil ideas. The wall of the pot, the cook did not notice it even after cooking, the pot was black after cooking, the cook was so frightened that someone had poisoned the pot and hurriedly reported to Master Bao, a group of people rushed to the kitchen, only after Mr. Gongsun's detailed identification did they see it It came out that the ink was smeared on the wall of the pot. After asking the kitchen handyman in detail, I found out that two little monkeys had come to the kitchen to tinker for a while and then left.There is a pair of four, there is no doubt that it must be the two brats playing tricks, and this is the scene where Zhan Zhao hurried home to ask the teacher.

In fact, Zhan Zhao was also helpless towards his two sons.Although the two children are naughty, they are both kind-hearted children. This is why everyone in Kaifeng Mansion cannot dislike them even though they are often teased by the two monkeys.But this time it was a bit too much, and it cannot be easily forgiven.

Mu Yan knew that the two monkeys might not be able to pass the test easily this time, so she could only give the two children a self-seeking look and leave silently.This was an unspoken agreement between her and Zhan Zhao. The other party would not object to punishing the other party no matter what the reason was, so it was the same this time.

Sure enough, when Mu Yan brought the girl to put the food on the table, Mengwa said that Zhan Zhao punished the two monkeys to squat in the yard. This kind of punishment is what Zhan Zhao often uses. handstand.And Mu Yan's way of punishing children is to write, which makes the children hate it even more.

Mu Yan asked the girl to invite Zhan Zhao to dinner, and after a while Zhan Zhao entered the dining room with his hands behind his back, with a calm and handsome face.Mu Yan looked at Zhan Zhao's cold face and didn't say much, she finished the meal and handed it to Zhan Zhao, took the rice bowl Mu Yan handed over and smiled helplessly: "Tell me, who do these two children look like? Naughty?" Mu Yan teased Zhan Zhao with a smile: "Could it be that Zhan Huwei thinks that the child's father is someone else?" Zhan Zhao was taken aback when he heard Mu Yan's teasing, and then hit Mu Yan hard with the chopsticks in his hand. Reporter: "Is that what I meant? You're really naughty, just like the children, it seems like you have a lot of tricks."

Mu Yan pursed her lips and rubbed the spot that was knocked just now: "You didn't mention this first. I just followed your wishes." Zhan Zhao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard her justification, how could he mean that, It's almost a thousand miles of misinterpretation of his words.Then look at Mu Yan's half-angry and half-angered appearance, and think back to the first time she and Mu Yan met. Time flies and the world changes, but she is the only one who looks the same as before.Although the hair ornament has been changed from a long braid to a woman's bun, she still looks the same as before, as if the wind of time has forgotten to blow over her face, and the years have not left any traces on her face.

Looking at Zhan Zhao staring at her in a daze, Mu Yan asked in confusion, "Why don't you know me?" Zhan Zhao came back to his senses, turned around the table and walked to Mu Yan's side, stroking the red spot on her head. That place: "It's not that I don't know each other, but I'm just wondering why you haven't changed. If God always favors you like this, will you still look like a flower when I'm old?"

Mu Yan looked at Zhan Zhao with a smile: "Are you jealous! Is it that you are only allowed to be so handsome and not allowed to stay in my youth? Or do I get old quickly and your heart is more balanced? It turns out that the dignified Kaifeng Mansion Zhan guard is just a Small belly..." Before he finished speaking, Zhan Zhao took Mu Yan into his arms and blocked her chattering mouth.

Originally, Zhan Zhao just wanted Mu Yan to shut up, but unexpectedly, the kiss between the two became deeper and longer, until Shuang'er was holding the stewed soup and saw the two embracing each other affectionately and screamed. People, Zhan Zhao was so embarrassed that he couldn't add any more, he hurriedly excused himself to go to see the child and went back to the study.Although Mu Yan was also very embarrassed, she was used to having a thick skin after all, and she returned to normal after being shy for a while, but Shuang'er felt very embarrassed when she bumped into the hostess Enai, her pretty face blushed for a long time.After a while, Zhan Zhao brought Brother Huan and Brother Xi to the dining room, greeted his sons to take a seat, and served the two sons with his own hands, and they sat together to enjoy the food.

After dinner, Mu Yan took out the family letter for Zhan Zhao to read, and while Zhan Zhao was reading the letter, Mu Yan brought up the idea of ​​wanting Xinghua to come back.Zhan Zhao thought for a while and replied: "Recently, the Kaifeng mansion is peaceful, and besides, it's almost Ching Ming Festival, why don't I take a month off from my lord and let's go back to Changzhou for a visit. My brother and sister-in-law have come to see her, and I haven’t seen the children in the past few years, let’s go back this time and make them happy.” Mu Yan was very happy when she heard that Zhan Zhao was able to ask for leave. The Kaifeng mansion has a radius of tens of miles and has never traveled far. This kind of life is far from the ideal of traveling to several places every year to visit the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.Now that she has the opportunity to go out, how can she be as unhappy as a mouse.

Seeing Mu Yan's happy look, Zhan Zhao felt deeply guilty while being amused.The last time the two traveled together was when they returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors when they got married. This time, they must play well with her and the children.Mu Yan has a wild temper. When the two of them chatted before, Zhan Zhao also heard her say that she likes to travel and hopes to travel all over the world in her lifetime. However, she is busy with official duties. After the two got married, they never mentioned it again.But Zhan Zhao knew that it wasn't that Mu Yan had changed her temper, but that she didn't want to worry about embarrassing herself.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhan Zhao told Mr. Bao to ask for a one-month leave. The adults also knew that Zhan Zhao’s these years were not easy, so he readily agreed to his request. Not only that, he generously bought one and got one free for two months. During the holidays, Zhan Zhao and Mu Yan took their children to relax and relax. Of course, they also asked their husband and wife to take the two monkeys out of Fengfu so that everyone in Kaifeng Mansion could also relax.

Three days later, Zhan Zhao and his wife took two leather monkeys on a journey back to their hometown to visit their relatives. Because of the long vacation, the family members were also allowed to go back to their hometown to visit their relatives for two months.
