[75] Zhao Yan falls into a dream

With their children, Zhan Zhao and Mu Yan naturally couldn't ride horses, so they arranged a comfortable carriage for the three of them to ride in. Mr. Zhan turned into a coachman and drove the carriage with his family on the journey.

The two brothers were very excited when they went out for the first time. Even the wild dogs on the side of the road could make them discuss excitedly for a long time, but the children's energy was still limited. Yan fell asleep.Zhan Zhao, who was driving outside, let out a long sigh of relief: "It can be regarded as falling asleep, these two boys are really noisy."

Mu Yan deeply understood the children's noise: "If you were not busy with business all day long and didn't have time to take them out to play, how could they look like they have never seen the world. You, a father, should be ashamed. Zhan Zhao didn't expect that his complaints would cause such a big hat to be pressed on his head, and he suddenly felt that he had lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot.

Mu Yan refused to give up and asked Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan, are you ashamed?" Zhan Zhao glared at Mu Yan in feigned anger, and when he saw her smirk, he knew that this girl was trying to play tricks again, so he leaned over while driving. Entering the car, he lightly pecked Mu Yan's face and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Zhan is extremely ashamed for not fulfilling his father's duties. It's you, a girl who made trouble. The reason why I let go is not because you, a mother, fulfilled your duties and made me feel ashamed. My father is useless."

When he was away from home, Zhan Zhao also let go of his usual calm and introverted appearance and became more amiable.Although Zhan Zhao has never put on airs in front of Mu Yan, no matter how calm and introverted he is, it will not help when he meets Mu Yan who has no integrity, so it is better to follow her wishes.

The two talked and laughed, and the children slept soundly beside them.Seeing that Mu Yan was also looking tired, Zhan Zhao persuaded her to take a rest. Mu Yan insisted that she was not sleepy at first, but she fell asleep leaning on Zhan Zhao not long after.He helped Mu Yan to lie down in the carriage, and took out a thin quilt from the interlayer of the carriage wall to cover the child and his wife. Looking at the sleeping faces of his three mothers, Zhan Zhao felt warm in his heart.Zhan Zhao took the rein of the carriage to slow down the horse, hoping that the three people in the carriage could sleep more peacefully.

After more than an hour, Mu Yan woke up from her sleep, stared dazedly, and sat down beside Zhan Zhao, looking at Mu Yan's little sleepy appearance, Zhan Zhao laughed, "Why don't you sleep more?" Yan leaned against Zhan Zhao's side and took a comfortable position: "Or you can take a rest while I'm driving."

Zhan Zhao almost laughed out loud when he heard that: "You? Let's forget it. I'll be thankful if you don't drive the car into the ravine." Mu Yan didn't agree after hearing this: "Why can't I drive? I was so good at driving before. Well, let alone a small carriage, let me try it, won’t you be more relaxed after I learn it?”

Saying that, Mu Yan stretched out her hand to grab Zhan Zhao's whip, Zhan Zhao raised her hand to avoid it: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble. If you want to learn from me, I will teach you." Mu Yan has always been eccentric, and the journey will take a long time. It is better to find something to relieve her boredom, and teaching her to drive a carriage may be a way.Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao learned how to drive a carriage, and Mu Yan was very interested in learning. When the two children woke up, they saw their mother sitting in front of the carriage and their father watching with a smile on their faces.

"Father, mother, we also need to learn to drive a carriage." The two children climbed up to their parents on all hands and feet, clamoring to learn how to drive a carriage.Zhan Zhao scolded with a smile: "You are not as good as a horse-drawn carriage, what are you learning to drive a horse-drawn carriage? Now that you wake up, you might as well recite the Three Character Classic taught by Mr. Gongsun." Sure enough, when they heard that they were going to recite the memorization, the two sons immediately stopped and wanted to drive. I retracted my mind into the carriage, and after a while, I heard the sound of two monkeys yelling out the window.Zhan Zhao and Mu Yan looked at each other and couldn't help smiling.

Because of the abundance of time, the family's journey is quite leisurely. When they encounter interesting places, they will stay and play for two days, and when they encounter some famous local restaurants, they will stay to eat their fill.It was a joy to travel all the way, the original journey of seven or eight days took more than ten days to arrive, and seeing the gate of Changzhou in front of him, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but let the horse speed up, hoping to get home as soon as possible.

Because it was a temporary idea to go home to visit relatives, and I also hoped to give my second brother and second sister-in-law a surprise, so I didn't write to inform them in advance. When Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao brought the children back to the door, the servant's report surprised Qin.He hurriedly brought his servants out to greet him, and when he saw that the family of four had returned, he was even more delighted from ear to ear. He asked people to invite Zhan Yao to come back, and ordered his servants to clean up the yard.

The enthusiasm of the second sister-in-law made Mu Yan overwhelmed, she stretched out her hand to hold the circling Qin Shi: "Sister-in-law, don't be too busy. They are all from your own family, why are you so polite, just let the servants do it, we haven't seen each other for several years It’s easy to talk.” After speaking, she pulled Qin Shi into the living room with the children, Brother Huan and Xi Geer were sweet-talking children, Qin Shi was very happy when he called his second aunt, and wished to give all the good things in the house to him. Brothers.The two sisters-in-law were exchanging pleasantries, and Zhan Yao hurried back from the store after getting the news, and the meeting between the two brothers was naturally enthusiastic.

After a long period of hustle and bustle, the whole family sat around the dining table, full of delicious food and local special snacks popular with children. I don't know why I am so happy.The handsome young lady Xinghua sat shyly beside Mu Yan with a shy smile on her face. Mu Yan saw that she didn't like it, she held Xinghua's hand and asked about Xinghua's daily life in the past three years. and enrollment status.I haven't seen this child for three years. His head has grown more than before, and his temper is more cheerful than three years ago. His eyes no longer have the look of despair and helplessness before.

Seeing Xinghua's change, Zhan Zhao was also very happy. Although the child's appearance has not changed much, he is still a bit different. Mu Yan should take him with him when he goes back to Kaifeng Mansion this time. He was a little worried at first, but now it seems It shouldn't be a big problem.

It was a rare family reunion, knowing that everyone at the tip of the moon returned to their room to rest.In the early morning of the next day, Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao went up the mountain to worship their parents with the incense candle offerings they had ordered the girl to prepare the day before. The two of them knelt first and then asked the two children to kowtow to salute.After sweeping and worshiping, Zhan Zhao took his wife and children down the mountain to go home, dealing with all kinds of strange problems of the two children along the way, which made Zhan Zhao's original sadness disappear invisible.

For the next month or so, Zhan Zhao visited relatives and friends every day, played chess and sipped tea with his brother in his free time, and lived a very pleasant life.Accompanied by Qin's family and Chunhong's mother and daughter, Mu Yan inspected the properties she bought in Changzhou in the past few years, and the business of the embroidery workshop is getting better and better. , Seeing more and more money on the account book, Mu Yan was delighted.

That day, Mu Yan and Qin Shi took their children to the street to choose jewelry. They just came out of the silver building, and they were discussing the jewelry samples they had just chosen. Maybe a stone fell under their feet and caused a cloud of flying dust to scare Mu Yan and Qin Shi After jumping, before he recovered, he heard Brother Huan yelling and pointing to the window sill on the second floor of the restaurant on the street, shouting: "Uncle Bai, mother is Uncle Bai!"

Mu Yan looked in the direction of Brother Huan's finger, and saw Bai Yutang smirking and looking at a few people on the street, and waved to the children when he heard the children telling him that he deserved a beating.Mu Yan stared at Bai Mouse's face and hooked her fingers to tell him to come down, Bai Yutang nodded towards Mu Yan, and the figure retreated from the window.After a while, Bai Yutang came out of the restaurant waving the fan of Merry Tianxia and I alone, and Brother Huan and Brother Xi rushed up to circle the white mouse before he got close.Over the past few years, the Bai family's business has grown bigger and bigger, and more restaurants have been opened, and every quarter's profits are sent by Bai Yutang.Although Bai Yutang was always arguing with Zhan Zhao, he liked Brother Huan and Brother Xi very much. Every time he came here, he always brought a lot of delicious and fun things for the two children, and of course taught the two boys to tease their father.

"Why are you here? Didn't you ask for a recipe again? Mu Yan almost knelt down to him. She and Zhan Zhao have both come to Changzhou, and they still haven't escaped the supply of recipes for this season of Baijia Restaurant.

"I'm here to collect the bills for the family. I didn't expect to hear that Zhan Zhao brought your mothers back to Changzhou. I didn't think about asking for the recipe, but since you said that I should prepare it, then I will prepare it for the fifth master." I accept it with a smile." Bai Yutang looked like a ruffian who deserved a beating, and Mu Yan's teeth itch.

The result is self-evident, Mu Yan borrowed the Four Treasures of the Study Room from the restaurant and wrote the prepared recipes for Bai Yutang.The Qin family invited Bai Yutang to sit at home again, and Bai Yutang, who had tricked Mu Yan, was in a good mood, and readily agreed to Qin's invitation, and made an appointment to visit the next day before Shi Shiran left.

At noon the next day, Bai Yutang went to the exhibition house at the appointment.Inevitably, Mu Yan cooks in person again, a good meal and tea fills up the belly of the white mouse, and Bai Yutang, who is full of wine and food, drags Zhan Zhao to the backyard to learn martial arts.After the fist fight and the sword fight, the two returned to the front hall covered in sweat until sunset, and returned to their own restaurant after having dinner at Zhan's house.

The leisurely days always go by extraordinarily fast, and before you know it, the holiday is coming to an end.The return trip was put on the agenda, and the Qin family began to prepare all kinds of snacks, toys, and clothes that children like every day.And because Xinghua has been studying in Changzhou for the past few years, it is inevitable that some of his classmates need to say goodbye. In the last few days, Zhan Zhao accompanied Xinghua to say goodbye to his classmates everywhere.

Parting always comes, and on the day of the return trip, Xinghua reluctantly bid farewell to Zhanyao and his wife.Follow Mu Yan to board the carriage, there is nothing on the carriage except for a few changes of clothes when they come, and the return carriage is full of things, Zhan Zhao's family embarks on the return journey with the blessings of the second elder brother's family.

The time to go back is tight, so naturally I can't be as leisurely as when I came here. When I hurried back to Kaifeng, there were only five days left before the end of the holiday. I thought I could rest for a few more days, but who would have thought that Zhan Zhao would go out to see When the souvenir came back, he said something important with a solemn expression, Master Bao asked him to cancel the vacation immediately.
