Straight man of steel

Chapter 167 Get rid of boredom

"Brother Yuan, your horseshoe is indeed effective, can it also exert such an effect on the grassland?"

As soon as Wei Qing sat down, he asked Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan smiled and poured Wei Qing a cup of tea instead of rushing to answer.

"That's natural. Young brother, it's your first time to come to my place and have a taste of this tea."

"Tea?"

Wei Qing had never heard of this word, so he was a little confused.

"I asked people to remove the tenderest part of the tea leaves in the middle of Sichuan. It was prepared by a secret method and boiled in boiling water. The taste is fragrant and the color is light green. I call it tea."

Wei Qing nodded, picked up the teacup, and drank it all in one gulp, smashing his mouth, it seemed like he didn't taste the taste of tea.

"It's a bit bitter, but it's okay. It's better than water."

Zhang Yuan didn't expect the current Wei Qing to be able to drink tea like him, he just smiled.

"Is this Jianzhang Supervisor Wei Qing?"

While Zhang Yuan was chatting and laughing with Wei Qing, Zhuo Wenjun walked directly into the main building without saying hello.

Wei Qing quickly got up and bowed to Zhuo Wenjun.

"Wei Qing met my sister-in-law."

After hearing this, Zhuo Wenjun covered his face and smiled, which made Zhang Yuan a little embarrassed.

"That young brother, this is Zhuo Wenjun, the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family in Linqiong, Sichuan. She is a friend of Brother Yu, and she is just living in the mansion now."

Wei Qing guessed that it was Zhuo Wenjun, but he had heard too many stories about Zhang Yuan and Zhuo Wenjun, and Zhang Yuan had brought Zhuo Wenjun back to Chang'an from Shu County before, so he thought that the good things between the two had come to an end.

"Daughter, I'm being rude, please forgive me."

After being exposed, Zhuo Wenjun was not embarrassed, but hurriedly returned the salute.

"Zhuo Ji, the daughter of a merchant, is not worthy of the great gift of being a chapter supervisor. Please return to your position. Zhuo Ji will go to the kitchen to urge you to serve the wine and food for both of you."

Wei Qing nodded with a smile, and then said to Zhuo Wenjun.

"That's hard work, big girl."

Zhang Yuan didn't bother to say anything more, Zhuo Wenjun insisted on making this picture of the hostess, so let her do it.

Inviting Wei Qing to sit again, the two started chatting again.

"I'm not talking about you, Brother Yuan. Although this eldest daughter of the Zhuo family is not a merchant, she has been married once. Her status is lower, but her status is much higher than that of a slave of her younger brother's family.

Why did Brother Yuan let her beauty down?Even if she cannot be welcomed into the house as the mistress, as a flat wife or concubine, I think the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family will not object. "

Zhang Yuan just smiled awkwardly, the relationship between him and Zhuo Wenjun is really something.

I had thought about what the two of them could do before, but I was never willing to pierce the window paper. Now I am in the turbulent and unclear situation of Chang'an City, longing for a place to stand, but I still can't get to the shore.

It is too irresponsible to think about implicating others and tying the fate of others with oneself even if it is difficult to protect oneself.

"Brother Qing, you also know Brother Yu's current situation. If you don't handle it well, there will be an abyss behind you. We can talk about these things only after we have sorted out everything."

Wei Qing was very puzzled why Zhang Yuan was like this, it was because Zhang Yuan was so eager to have a stable home.

"Brother Yuan, has you ever asked the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family if she is willing to face everything with you?
If she was also willing, why would she let her down? "

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and he was still somewhat sure about this question.

"She should be willing, otherwise she can't leave the Zhuo family's family status in order to leave the identity of a merchant.

But she didn't understand that what I have been worrying about is not my identity, but my concern. "

Wei Qing put down the teacup in his hand, he has always had a big question in his heart.

"Brother Yuan, little brother, I don't know what you are worried about, but it seems to me that you have always held more secrets in your heart than anyone else.

He even has more secrets than His Majesty, my younger brother is always by His Majesty's side, and I have seen His Majesty lose his temper because of boredom in his heart. In Jianzhang Palace, he smashes things, beats people, and sees women like a hungry tiger.

And you also have similar boredom in your heart, but you choose to accumulate it in your heart. I don't mean to let you learn to be like His Majesty, but you have to find a way to vent the boredom in your heart.

In fact, it’s okay not to vent. You can find a sustenance like me, and stuff other emotions into your heart. As the emotions increase, the space occupied by boredom will gradually become smaller.

When your heart is full of emotions for others, the boredom will leave you. "

Zhang Yuan felt that Wei Qing had great wisdom from the beginning to the end, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. Wei Qing's words gave Zhang Yuan great psychological comfort.

"You two, the food and drink are all ready, do you think they should be served on separate tables or on one table?"

Zhuo Wenjun also entered the main building at this time, followed by Xiaoqing and Xiaoya, each holding a wooden plate with dishes on it.

"Bring it to me. Young brother Xiangbi has not eaten at the same table with others. I tell you that food eaten at the same table tastes better than eating separately."

Wei Qing smiled, moved the cushion under her buttocks, and began to lean towards Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan was right. He had never eaten at the same table with anyone else.In the past, when we were poor, there were no vegetables at all. A bowl of porridge per person would satisfy their hunger, so there was no need for a table.

Later, when we developed, we had to pay attention to our status, so we didn't have this kind of opportunity.

The two dishes were repeated, and Zhang Yuan didn't care too much, and there were no embroidered messengers around.

If Xiaoqing and Xiaoya both become embroidered clothes envoys, then Zhang Yuan really has nothing to say.

He poured all the dishes from one dish onto the plate of the other dish. This lacquer plate was large enough to have room for both dishes.

"Come and try my cook's stewed chicken with potatoes. I taught him back then."

Potatoes are commonplace in Chang'an, and Wei Qing can often eat them, but outside, no one regards potatoes as a dish, and basically eats them all as a staple food.

"Well, I'll try it now."

Wei Qing took a piece and put it in his mouth, and immediately felt that the potato piece was about to slide open in his mouth.

Thanks to Zhang Yuan's original intention to eat this dish today, Lao Wang stewed it long enough, and the potatoes were all stewed.

Iron pots have become popular in Dahan, but because of the lack of seasoning and the high price, not every household can cook like Zhang Yuan's.

Ordinary families make some wild vegetables, add some oil and salt to fry together, and it is already delicious.

Even the tenants in Zhang Yuan's house can eat meat for every meal.

The lack of nutrition and the low degree of immunity to disasters and diseases have resulted in the average life span of the Han people being less than 30 years old.

At least nutrition can be guaranteed in Zhang Mansion.
