[Seventy-five] Cat control the rivers and lakes

From autumn to winter, the streets and alleys of Bianjing become desolate, the leaves are blown off by the cold wind, fall to the ground and are trampled, and then turn into nourishment for the roots, waiting for the growth of new leaves in the coming year force.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, every household hastily prepared to stock up on new year’s goods, so that this year’s Chinese New Year will be lively and joyful.Sweeping New Year's goods has become a daily scene, and this is a good opportunity for vendors to make a lot of money, so even if the weather is cold, it can't stop the determination and fighting spirit of vendors to make money.

Snowflakes were falling outside the window, and if Gongsun Jun opened the door to go out, the water in the water tank in the yard would freeze. Fortunately, the well water was still available, so even washing would not be a problem.

In winter, both adults and children will suffer from frostbite on their hands, feet and other places, so the supply of chilblain ointment in pharmacies is in short supply, and a letter was sent from the palace, asking for a batch of high-quality rejuvenation ointment and Fine skin powder, so that she is so busy just making creams and powders, let alone continue to follow Wang Guoshou.Fortunately, she still completed it within the agreed time limit, which can be regarded as a huge task.

"Morning." Zhan Zhao came back from morning practice, saw Gongsun Junruo fetching water, and walked over to help her carry it, "I woke up very early today."

Following Zhan Zhao, she said, "It's cold in the room, so I can't sleep."

After putting down the water, Zhan Zhao turned around, took her hand and held it in the palm of her hand under her astonished eyes, as soon as he touched those cold hands, he frowned in distress, "Why is it so cold? There is no charcoal burning in the house Is it? Where’s Kang?”

"I did it too late last night, and fell asleep when I came back, and I didn't have the heart to do it."

Zhan Zhao looked at her, with reproach and unbearable eyes, "You, you can find me, or make an agreement with me in advance, and you can sleep on the kang when you come back."

Gongsun Junruo turned his face away, "You are a busy man." But his hands were really warm, and she looked at him quietly.He obviously wore less clothes than her, but it was like a big stove, emitting heat all over his body.

"No matter how busy you are, as soon as you call me, I'll be free." He rubbed her hands and let out a sigh.

She laughed out loud.Dare he think that he is a divine beast that can be summoned at any time?

Seeing her laugh, Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing too, she really looked good when she smiled, as if the whole world was lit up.If Gongsun Jun saw him staring at her very seriously, she also looked at him quietly, and the two stared at each other silently until Gongsun Ce's untimely cough interrupted them.Zhan Zhao turned his head and saw Gongsun Ce standing at the door with a serious face, he nodded his head and said hello to him, then told Gongsun Junruo that he would come to find her later, and went out.

Seeing Zhan Zhao leave, Gongsun Ce walked in a little unhappy. "Jun Ruo, although my brother has agreed that you stay with him, you should pay attention to what you should pay attention to. You are not married yet, so don't get tired of being together all day long. If people find out, it will have a bad influence on you."

If Gongsun Jun wrung the veil dry, he didn't even look at him, "Brother, which eye do you see that I'm tired of being with him all day? Or did you hear it from someone?"

After she said this, Gongsun Ce's arrogance weakened instead.That's right, the two of them, one goes to the Imperial Medical Bureau to study every day, and continues to study her pharmacology after studying, and before that, he went to the famous craftsman Master Zhang to help him cast some utensils he had never seen before; what about the other?Either they are busy catching bad guys or they are busy patrolling, especially when the Chinese New Year is approaching, they go out early and return late. The two of them meet, at most, when they have a meal. That thing.

It's him, the elder brother, who made a mistake, but he can't be in the room early in the morning and talk to each other.I think that when he was in relationship with his wife before, the most contact method was letters, and there was no time before marriage, my dear.What now?Why!

"Brother, what are you looking for from me?"

Gongsun Junruo's words reminded Gongsun Ce, who was still in a state of worry, he patted his forehead and said, "You are going to meet his family next month, have you thought about any gifts?"

"If I don't think about it, I don't have to stand here and talk to you."

Gongsun Ce is not happy anymore, do you still think he is meddling?He's doing it for her, isn't he afraid that it will be impolite to go empty-handed and leave a bad impression on others?

"Brother, you can go shopping with me on the street in a few days."

Glancing at her, Gongsun Ce turned around.snort!That's about the same.

On December 21, after a heavy snowfall, a thick layer of snow formed on the ground. Fortunately, after the sun came out, the snow water gradually melted away, so there was no need to worry about not being able to return to my hometown tomorrow.

A group of people from Kaifeng Mansion have already gone back to their hometown, and tomorrow is also the day when Gongsun Junruo and Zhan Zhao set off to return to his home.Gongsun Ce, who was still frowning, finally smiled when he saw the sun jumping out of the clouds.

As long as the weather is good today, the snow on the road will definitely melt.

He found that for Gongsun Junruo to meet Zhan Zhao's family, he, the elder brother, was more anxious than her client. He was worried about the journey, the weather, and that she didn't prepare enough gifts for the meeting.

As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry, and it is probably like this.

On December 22, Gongsun Junruo bid farewell to Gongsun Ce in the carriage, and went back to his home with Zhan Zhao to visit relatives whom he had not seen for many years.Originally they planned to leave the day after tomorrow, but Zhan Zhao received a letter from his second brother, he felt that it was necessary to go back earlier, so he moved two days earlier.

Changzhou is three days and three nights away from Kaifeng, and it takes more than a day to drive a horse-drawn carriage, so when they arrive at Yujie Village, Wujin County, Zhan Zhao's hometown, it will be almost midnight.But Zhan Zhao didn't want her to work so hard, so he slowed down his horse speed, opened two rooms in the inn in the county and stayed overnight, and continued on his way until dawn.

On the 24th day, there was a heavy snowfall in the sky, and the carriage was slowly advancing across the icy road on the country road. Zhan Zhao drove very carefully, and he went around all the pits that could be bypassed. After a while, he saw the entrance of the village. .The thick eyebrows that had been frowning could finally be relaxed. He drove the horse and walked along the village road. He didn't stop until he came to three new houses side by side.

The sound of fighting was coming from the yard. The girl with the maid's hair bun and the boy who was younger than him competed with wooden sticks. A middle-aged man smiled at them and gave pointers from time to time.

Zhan Zhao took Gongsun Junruo off from the carriage, stood at the door and shouted at the man, "Second brother!"

The man raised his head, saw Zhan Zhao, and responded with a smile, "Third brother! It's really you."

"Yes, I came back early after receiving your letter, where is the second sister-in-law?"

"Cooking in the kitchen, this is..." Seeing Gongsun Junruo in plain clothes behind Zhan Zhao, the man smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "He has good eyesight, as expected of a man from our Zhan family!"

Zhan Zhao smiled embarrassedly, and looked back at Gongsun Junruo, "This is my second brother, Zhan Yao, you will see my second sister-in-law in a while." He turned to Zhan Yao again, lifted the gift bag in his hand, and said, " Second brother, this is our little thought."

Zhan Yao laughed loudly, "They are all from my own family, why are you being polite? Xiaoxia, Guodong! Come and meet your third uncle!"

After saying that, the girl with the maid's hair bun knocked away the wooden stick in the boy's hand, then threw the wooden stick in her own hand, and ran to Zhan Yao's side, smiling sweetly at Zhan Zhao, "Hello third uncle!" At the end , she looked at Gongsun Junruo, and said, "Hello, Third Aunt."

Gongsun Junruo was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the little girl Pianzi was greeting her, but this third aunt...

She looked at Zhan Zhao, only to see him rubbing the girl's bun, and scolding with a smile, "Sister Gongsun hasn't passed the family yet, she's not your third aunt."

Zhan Xiaoxia pouted, "Anyway, it will be a matter of time, it doesn't matter if you shout too much."

Zhan Yao just smiled at his daughter's attitude, "Where's that guy Guodong? Why was he still there just now?"

"If I can't win, I guess I'm going to be angry." Zhan Xiaoxia puffed her chest out and raised her head, "Third Uncle, take a look at what I've been practicing recently, Dad said I've improved a lot, so you can teach me some tricks. "

After hearing this, Zhan Yao patted her on the head, "Don't you think it's not enough to have daddy teach you martial arts?"

Zhan Xiaoxia pouted even higher, "If Daddy is as powerful as Third Uncle, he would have become an official like Uncle Third."

"Oh! You actually taught your father a lesson," Zhan Yao knocked a chestnut, "It seems that the amount of practice that father gave you is too little on weekdays, and your skin is itchy."

Zhan Xiaoxia covered her mouth, turned around and called her mother and ran to the back room.

"You've worked hard all the way, go inside and rest." He said, leading Gongsun Junruo and Zhan Zhao into the house.

The room on the left was obviously cleaned before they came. Although the furniture was not new, it was wiped clean without a trace of dust.And the paper on the window is new, it seems that it has just been pasted up, the lighting is very good, and the room is very bright.

When Zhan Zhao came back from the outside, he saw Gongsun Junruo looking carefully at the house, he smiled and responded, "This is the room I used to live in."

"Well, I can see it." Gongsun Junruo nodded, seeing that he was looking at her in confusion, and said, "It's very your style."

Very his style?Zhan Zhao was surprised, he didn't even know what kind of style he was.

After looking around, Gongsun Junruo tilted his head and asked, "I sleep here, where do you sleep?"

God, doesn't she know how cute it is when she tilts her head and asks a question?I really want to rub her into my arms.Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, calmed his racing heart, and said calmly, "I still have a place to sleep, and it's Big Brother's room."

"Oh." Gongsun Junruo lowered his head.She remembered her brother Gongsun Ce said that Zhan Zhao had two brothers in total, he was the youngest, and the eldest had passed away several years ago.She didn't see his sister-in-law when she came today, so she must have passed away.

"Don't worry, the place here is quite big, and there are many rooms." Zhan Zhao thought that she felt guilty for taking his room, and couldn't help feeling happy and soft in his heart, "And in the future, in the future..."

In the future, we will still live in the same room.He couldn't say such words, but from the way she looked at him, he knew that she understood what he didn't finish.As soon as his skin became thinner, he blushed.But he didn't want to hide it, because that was his real thought.

"You're getting bolder."

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a while to understand the meaning of her words.It seemed to him more like bravery than boldness.

"Jun Ruo." He opened his arms naturally, he wanted to hug her, he wanted to say hard work to her, because of the ups and downs along the way, she didn't complain at all, and she silently accepted his temporary arrangements. He is distressed.

"Xiong Fei, let's serve dinner..." The word "ha" didn't come out, Zhan Yao saw the two people in the room, and hurriedly retreated, "I'm sorry, you go on, go on, just remember to come for dinner later."

Hearing the sound of impact coming from outside, Gongsun Junruo and Zhan Zhao looked at each other and smiled.
