[75] Zhao Yan falls into a dream

Just after the new year, the cases in Kaifeng Mansion were one after another. Although they were not big, they kept everyone busy.Fortunately, although there are many cases, they are not too complicated. The danger is a waste of time. By the time everyone is busy, it will be mid-February.

Qi expressed that she was flattered by Zhang Long's marriage proposal. She never thought that her daughter could be an official wife. Although Zhang Long and the others were all sixth-rank captains, the county master was only seventh-rank, right? It is said that the sixth grade is already a very big official.According to Qi's meaning, even the wedding doesn't need to be held, just let Zhang Long take it away, as long as it can treat Chunhong well.At that time, she said, not to mention Zhang Long and even Mu Yan were speechless, at Mu Yan's request, Qi finally agreed to follow the etiquette procedure, but it was also simplified, and the date was set to early March, which seemed to be scary. Zhang Long, the son-in-law, ran away.

In mid-February, Zhang Long asked Mu Yan to help prepare for the wedding as soon as he was busy with his official business.Zhang Long's parents passed away early, and there was no one in the family, so everyone could only help Zhang Luo. Before Zhang Long took 50 taels of silver and asked Mu Yan to arrange a wedding for him, and asked Mu Yan to help him find a house. It's not unreasonable for me to still live in Kaifeng Mansion, Mu Yan nodded in agreement.In a few days, I helped Zhang Long find a small courtyard. The land price in the capital is not low, and a small courtyard costs over a hundred taels of silver. Bought it directly, which surprised Qi again.

After finally surviving until the sixth day of March, the Kaifeng mansion was once again very lively.This time, Zhao Hu was the only one left to place the order, and everyone at the banquet asked Mu Yan to find a girl for Zhao Hu to be a matchmaker, and Mu Yan agreed with a smile.It's not that she's nosy, but that Zhao Hu is the youngest among the four, and has the best temper. When he has nothing to do, he always yells around Mu Yan and the elder sister. Over time, Mu Yan really treats him as the same as Xingchen Xingyun He stayed like a younger brother, so naturally he wanted to help him more.

On this day, Mu Yan was reading the letter from Changzhou at home. She and Zhan Zhao were far away, so it was natural for Zhan Yao to help take care of the land in Changzhou.Mu Yan doesn't seem to be showing any limelight on this, so she follows the local farming method. Now that spring plowing has arrived, Zhan Yao's letter can't help but mention the sowing situation of the field.

Just watching, the girl Qiu'er came in from outside with a strange expression.Mu Yan looked at her expression rather strangely and asked her: "What's wrong?"

"There are two women outside who said they were looking for my aunt." Qiu'er replied, her expression still so unnatural.

"If you have something to say, I'm the most impatient for half a sentence." Mu Yan was a little annoyed, what happened to this girl who is usually very straightforward today.

"That girl said she was my uncle's fiancée." Qiu'er mustered up the courage to say it, and then waited for Mu Yan to get mad.

"Fiancee? Did you say what your name is?" Mu Yan's expression changed, feeling strange.Zhan Zhao is definitely not someone who can cause romantic debts, where did this fiancée come from.

"I asked, and that girl said that their girl's surname is Shen." Qiu'er said in a whisper.

"Since they are Zhan Zhao's fiancée, let them go to Kaifeng Mansion to look for them. Just say that Zhan Zhao is not at home and in the yamen." Mu Yan forced herself to suppress her curiosity, and told Qiu'er to send them to Kaifeng Mansion to find Zhan Zhao directly, because He already knew the identity of the visitor in his heart.

Qiu'er went as she said, and Mu Yan put down the letter in her hand.After a little thought, he took a pen and wrote a letter home to Zhan Yao's sister-in-law. It wasn't that she was too thoughtful, but that she was prepared.

Shen Die and the girl Luzhu outside the door were incredulous when they heard Qiu'er's message, not because Qiu'er asked them to go to Kaifeng Mansion to find Zhan Zhao, but because she said it was her girl's words, and the girl she was talking about was actually Zhan Zhao's wife.Luzhu is a bad tempered person and yelled after hearing the words: "You are talking nonsense, how could Mr. Zhan marry someone else? He has a marriage contract with our lady. How can he go back on his word by accepting Miss's Bai Longju as a theorem?"

Qiu'er has seen a lot of things with Mu Yan in these years, and she can't tell the difference when she is noisy. She just chases people away with a straight face, but her heart is indeed ups and downs like waves: "It seems that this girl is really my uncle's fiancee. , but my uncle is definitely not such a treacherous person? What is going on with all this? If she really wants to marry my uncle, what will my young lady do?"

Shen Die saw that Qiu'er was expressionless and just blocked the door from entering, so she had to give up and walked towards Kaifeng Mansion with the green pearl.Qiu'er turned around and closed the door fiercely, as if this would prevent Shen Die from coming in.

Zhan Zhao was sorting out the files, and the yamen guard at the door sent word that someone was looking for him outside.Zhan Zhao rushed to the door, and was startled when he saw it: "Shen Die, why are you here?" Luzhu's mouth was not forgiving when she saw Zhan Zhao, and she complained bitterly about what happened at his door just now. Zhaoyi was even more surprised to hear that they had already been to the house.

He hurriedly let the two of them into the mansion, and went all the way in, knowing that Zhan Zhao and Shen Die's yamen servants were all surprised when they saw her and whispered.Let the two into the flower hall, and the yamen servant brings fragrant tea.Only then did Zhan Zhao ask, "Didn't you go back to your hometown? What happened?"

Shen Die remained silent, while Luzhu watched anxiously and narrated their experiences in their hometown in the past few years.It turned out that when they went back, the clan still took care of them.Although Shen Fang subdued the law, Shen did some things for the clan when he was alive. Now that Shen Die came here alone and is a woman, the clan thought it was just to stay for two more years and send a decent dowry to finish the job. Son, at most, part of the Shen family's property left by the court will be given to her as a dowry, and the rest will belong to the family.

Unexpectedly, not long after Shen Die went back, she told the patriarch that she would no longer marry. At first, everyone thought she was sad because of Shen Fang's death and didn't care about it. Butterfly just didn't say anything, and when he was in a hurry, he wanted to seek death, and everyone was helpless.

As time passed day by day, Shen Die didn't think about eating and was depressed all day long, and her physical condition was deteriorating, and she spent hundreds of taels of silver just to see a doctor and get medicine.The old servant and Cuizhu at home naturally did their best to serve them, but those who were jealous of the Shen family's belongings couldn't sit still. Seeing such a waste of money, it won't be long before it will all be spent.So she began to urge Shen Die to find her husband's family again, and said that if Shen Die still insisted on not marrying, she would report to the official, and let an official hire a matchmaker to see what she would do.Later, it got worse, withholding the output of the Shen family's fields, and collaborating with the shopkeeper to make false accounts. Shen Die is a beautiful lady with a lantern, and Luzhu can't read and understand the accounts, so she can only be fooled by others. It has been a long time It is difficult to earn enough money to live, let alone see a doctor and get medicine.

In addition, Luzhu knew that Shen Die liked Zhan Zhao, so she always mentioned it in front of her, saying that she should not come back, which made Shen Die hesitate.At the end of last year, the old servant of the Shen family also passed away. Before leaving, the old man held Shen Die’s hand with tears in his eyes and asked her to come to the capital to marry Zhan Zhao, saying that this was her brother’s wish. There would be no peace, so Shen Die cried and agreed to the old man's dying request.After finishing the funeral for the old servant, Shen Die sold everything in the family and went to the capital with the green beads.Stop and go along the way, a serious illness almost killed him, and he realized how happy it is to have someone to rely on when life and death are at stake. Thinking of all the things he had with Zhan Zhao before, he strengthened his determination to marry Zhan Zhao in the capital .

After hearing what Lu Zhu said, Zhan Zhao let out a long sigh.Things in the world make people, when two people were in love but they ended up leaving with hatred. Now that the king has a wife, the old love of the past has come to the door.Seeing Shen Die's sick face, Zhan Zhao felt distressed for a while, this girl was tortured by stomach disease back then, and she was dying, but fortunately, Mr. Gongsun recovered her youth.Looking at it now, his body is not that strong, and he still looks sick and weak.

Suddenly, Zhan Zhao thought of Mu Yan, who always looked radiant.Even when he is sick, he always behaves in various ways, different from ordinary patients, making people dumbfounded.Just as he was thinking, Luzhu's question brought Zhan Zhao back to his senses.

"Mr. Zhan, did that girl say you are married? Then what about our lady?" Luzhu looked at Shen Die and remained silent, hating iron but not steel, she could only ask Zhan Zhao for her.

When Zhan Zhao heard her question, he was silent for a long time before he said: "Shen Die, I am indeed married, and I already have two sons, twins." Shen Die almost fainted when she heard Zhan Zhao's words. In the past, she looked at Zhan Zhao in disbelief: "Are you really married? Have you forgotten our engagement? Or is she really so nice that you forget our past?" Shen Die's voice became louder and louder , has been close to exhaustion recently.

Zhan Zhao was speechless, although it was Shen Die who asked to break up.But it is also true that the two did not break off their engagement. From this point of view, they really have failed Shen Die.Just when she was speechless, Shuang'er's voice came from outside the door: "Grandpa, miss asked me to bring you something." Before the words fell, Shuang'er had already entered the flower hall, and seeing Shen Die, master and servant, was also eye-catching. Without squinting, she put the basket in her hand on the table and turned to face Zhan Zhao: "My lord, I heard that you have a guest and asked me to send you a message. The lady said that she is not feeling well these two days. Don't bring the guests home, so as not to make the guests feel sick. Later, the nanny will bring Brother Huan and Brother Xi, please take care of them for a few days." After finishing speaking, Shuang'er didn't even look at Shen Die He turned his head and left at a glance.

Zhan Zhao watched Shuang'er go out, thinking that this girl must be crazy today.I usually see myself respectful and respectful, but today I don't even look at myself when I talk to myself.Think about what she said again, don't let people take you home, don't you live in a hotel if you don't live at home?Are you going to bring your kids here too?What is it like to bring up a child in Yamen?But Zhan Zhao also knows Mu Yan's temperament, and now that Shen Die appears, it's rare that Mu Yan didn't directly quarrel with him.It is estimated that the nanny will really send the child in a while, and Zhan Zhao has a headache when he thinks of this.

Sure enough, Shuang'er left for less than an hour.The two nannies came with their children, followed by Qiu'er and Shuang'er with big and small bags, still the same as before, squinting at Zhan Zhao and ignoring Shen Die at all.

Fortunately, Mu Yan was afraid that the child would suffer, so she asked the two girls to come together, but Zhan Zhao had no choice but to arrange for them to live in the Confucian Courtyard.As for Shen Die, seeing that she was not in good health, Zhan Zhao couldn't let the two girls live in the inn, so he had to arrange them in a wing room in the master's courtyard.

In less than three days, Zhan Zhao's Confucian Courtyard became the busiest place in Kaifeng Mansion, and Luzhu and Shuang'er were in a hurry.They also disliked each other and had to quarrel several times a day, Zhan Zhao said it a few times to no avail and simply ignored it.Wanting Shuang'er to take the child back, Shuang'er always said that Mu Yan was not well yet, Zhan Zhao asked Mr. Gongsun to see him, but Mu Yan said no, making Zhan Zhao extremely helpless.

In the evening, Zhan Zhao returns home.Mu Yan ignored him when she saw him, Zhan Zhao went to the bedside and looked at Mu Yan: "Yan'er, let the child come back to live. It's not unreasonable to be noisy in the yamen all day long." Mu Yan chuckled lightly: "I'm not feeling well, so you should take it with you. To save others from believing that you're married, isn't the child the best evidence?" Zhan Zhao was naturally angrier after being annoyed by the child in the past few days. Hearing Mu Yan's words could not contain her anger: "You are not feeling well, why didn't you let them move out when you were sick? You are targeting Shen Die this time, right? I also told you about Shen Die and me, we There is indeed a marriage contract, and now that she's here, I can't just ignore her. Aren't you embarrassing me like this? "

Mu Yan sneered when she heard the words: "You do have a marriage contract? Didn't she give up first? What does it mean to come here now? I heard from Shuang'er and thought you were married. If she is capable, she will marry someone. Come here to make trouble What's the matter? And what is that girl's name, Luzhu? Why don't you call her the same name as a famous prostitute, and treat her as the number one?"

"Shut up. The more you say it, the more shameful it becomes. What kind of famous prostitute. Luzhu is still a big girl, isn't it bad for her reputation by saying that? You know that I don't mean it. Now that she is ill, how can I say it?" Zhao was unusually strict.

Mu Yan looked at Zhan Zhao and suddenly felt very strange, and then thought of Zhan Zhao's careful care of the white horse, and then belatedly thought of the story told by the Bailongju unit.Suddenly, I felt a sense of powerlessness. It seems that the development of the incident will still follow the original track. Maybe one day that Ding Yuehua will also appear, and maybe there will be one heroine after another.Is it really wrong for me to appear in Zhan Zhao's life?

Thinking of this, Mu Yan had no intention of arguing with Zhan Zhao at all, and just said coldly: "If you want your children to come back, let them come back. Even if you want to fulfill the marriage contract with Shen Die, I have no objection. I will abdicate and let Xian .” After speaking, he turned his back to Zhan Zhao and closed his eyes.

Seeing Mu Yan like this, Zhan Zhao felt that what he said was really serious, he sat gently beside Mu Yan, and wanted to hold Mu Yan's hand but Mu Yan threw it away, Zhan Zhao smiled wryly and gently hugged her. Looking at Mu Yan's back, she was speechless for a while.
