[75] Zhao Yan falls into a dream

"Hurry up and serve the dishes, hurry up and serve Cai, the guests are all here." A fat, white man with the appearance of a butler urged.

"Butler Ping, no matter how anxious you are, you still have to cook the dishes. Otherwise, if Madam loses her temper, will you or I take care of it?" The cook replied unwillingly to show weakness.

The sound of crackling firecrackers was faintly heard outside the kitchen courtyard, and the cheers of children and adults came in. It seemed that the bride was carried in. Today, Zhanzhai has double happiness, and the two young masters got married together. Master Zhou's youngest daughter, Zhou Zizhen, and Zhan Ji's wife are Bai Qing, the daughter of Chinchilla Bai Yutang.

The two brides and their parents also come and go frequently, so diligently that everyone in the exhibition house knows the tastes and preferences of the in-laws, so the in-laws lose their temper. Long, blowing his beard and staring at every turn.No one in the entire Zhan family dares to mess with his wife, Mu Yan.

The two couples entered the door, saluted and entered the bridal chamber. There was a bustling crowd of guests outside. Apart from the owner of the exhibition house and family members from Kaifeng Mansion, the guests accompanied them. The guests did not leave until the first hour of Haishi.After telling her two sons to drink the hangover soup and go back to the room to rest, Mu Yan went back to the bedroom with her aching and limp waist after a day of exhaustion.

In the room, Zhan Zhao was lying on the bed, breathing evenly, obviously already fast asleep.Mu Yan went to the bedside and sat down gently, across the air, Mu Yan traced Zhan Zhao's eyebrows and eyes with her fingers. In his sleep, Zhan Zhao's expression was relaxed, maybe because today was a big day, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up in his deep sleep. Show a little childish.

It has been 21 years since I married him in a blink of an eye, maybe the reason I came to this life is because of him.Ever since the day when I met him who was dying by the river, my life has taken a turning point. At that time, I racked my brains in order to feed my family. Although the success is not a feast of bells and whistles, it is also happy and smooth. All this is brought by this man for himself.

Now Zhan Zhao is nearly half a hundred years old, his hair is already grey, his face is no longer as handsome as before, with a sense of vicissitudes, and the action of frowning his eyebrows inadvertently caused a deep scratch on the eyebrows, but looking back Except for a few white hairs appearing on my head from time to time, my appearance has not changed much from 20 years ago, just like Zhan Zhao said that the wind of time seems to have forgotten to blow past Mu Yan's side.

Just as she was thinking, Mu Yan felt her hand being grabbed, and just as she recovered, she was attracted by the deep eyes like a deep Tan.Zhan Zhao didn't know when he woke up, looked at Mu Yan but smiled silently. "What are you looking at? You don't make a sound when you wake up." Mu Yan felt that the older she got, the thinner her skin became. The courage she had when she was young is gone forever.On the other hand, Zhan Zhao is being led badly by himself now, teasing himself from time to time, sometimes even in front of the children, without any shame at all.

"Who said I didn't say anything, you didn't hear me calling you a few times, why are you so lost in thought?" Zhan Zhao rubbed the back of Mu Yan's hand, teasing her with a smile.

Mu Yan wanted to withdraw her hand, but failed after trying for a long time, she replied angrily: "What are you thinking about? Missing you, thinking about me, thinking about the days when we came together. I still think that your words don't count."

Zhan Zhao doesn't know why, why Mu Yan is suddenly angry again.Although all these years have passed, the two of them have lived together hand in hand, quarreled and quarreled, but never thought of letting go of the hands they held tightly to each other.But Zhan Zhao still couldn't figure out what was going through Mu Yan's head, and couldn't keep up with her jumping thinking.

Mu Yan pouted and stared at Zhan Zhao for a long time, seeing that he didn't respond, she said bitterly: "Ten years ago, you said that Master Bao needed your protection; five years ago, you said that you would resign when your son grows up." Take me to visit the mountains and play in the water and return to the countryside; two years ago, my son was engaged, and you said that when the children are married, you will take over your burden and go back to seclusion. Now that the sons are married, let’s see what reason do you have? , and said he wasn’t a liar.”

Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing, it turned out that it was because of this matter, it has really been difficult for her these years.Zhan Zhao nodded: "Yes, my lord is now in the Privy Council. In the early years, Qi'er and Ji'er both entered the Privy Council as white bodies to help Mr. Bao. Now you don't need to worry about Mr. Bao's safety. The two sons Although the skill is worse than my own, it is not worse than myself back then. And now that the two children are married, it really doesn't make sense for my wife to stay here with me."

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao nodded, took out a folder from under the pillow, and handed it to Mu Yan, beckoning her to open it.Mu Yan took out the folder from Zhan Zhao's hand, opened it, and immediately smiled.Closing the booklet and lowering his head, he gave Zhan Zhao two loud kisses on the face, and before he even raised his head, he was hugged into the bed by a familiar embrace...

Early the next morning, Mu Yan stretched out her hand, and the bed beside her was icy cold.It can be seen that Zhan Zhao has been up for a long time, Mu Yan stretched her waist, sat up from the bed, pulled the wrinkled kelp-like plain silk pajamas around her body, and raised her voice to call people.Miao Er, the little girl outside the door, came in crisply, and skillfully served Mu Yan to dress and wash. After she finished dressing, she went out the door and found out that Zhan Zhao and her two sons were practicing martial arts in the front yard.Mu Yan nodded knowingly, this habit has lasted for more than ten years, since the two children started to practice martial arts, no matter Zhan Zhao was in or not, they would wake up at the crow of the cock every day, and practice for an hour before going to study.It's just that they didn't expect that the children would still follow the usual practice on the first day of their marriage, and this Zhan Zhao was really a deadhead.

Cursing secretly in her heart, Mu Yan walked towards the martial arts training ground in the front yard.Now Mu Yan's residence is not the house next door to Kaifeng Mansion.Mr. Bao was transferred to the Privy Council the year before last, and Zhan Zhao was also promoted to the third rank of imperial guard with a knife and transferred to the City Defense Department to take charge of the security of the capital.

The City Defense Department is in the east of the city, and Kaifeng Mansion is in the south of the city. It takes more than half an hour to walk on the road every day. Spring and autumn are fine, but summer and winter are sunny and windy. The yamen servant was tired of running and passing on the word, even Mu Yan watched Zhan Zhao go back and forth for more than an hour a day, and it was not easy.What's more, Zhan Zhao was injured in his leg in his early years, and he had some chronic diseases. It was sore when it rained and snowed. It didn't show when he was young, but now that he is older, those old injuries in his early years would come to him from time to time to chat with him.

Mu Yan felt sorry for Zhan Zhao, and bought a new house in the east of the city not far from the City Defense Department. The son enters the east, west, and crosses the courtyard, each occupying one side, and no one will delay the other.Zhan Zhao and Mu Yan live in the east side of the middle courtyard, while their daughters Zhan Xuan and Mu Yu live in the west side with the girl.The original house behind the Kaifeng mansion was refurbished and lived in by Xingchen, Xingyun and Xinghua. Xinghua and Liu also came to live with Han Shusheng for a few days from time to time.

A few years ago, Xingchen, Xinghua, and Xingyun all got married one after another, and their wives ranged from a wealthy lady from a merchant's family to a noble lady from an official's family, but no matter who they married, they all lived a very happy life. Hemei, Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao are also very relieved.

When we arrived at the martial arts training ground, we saw the three of them, father and son, fisting and kicking vigorously.Seeing Mu Yan approaching, the three of them moved forward at the same time, Zhan Zhao smiled and took the cloth towel from Mu Yan's hand and wiped it, then handed it to his son beside him: "Why are you here, don't sleep a little longer ?”

"Today, on the first day of my son's wedding, you dragged them to practice kung fu. The older you get, the less successful you will be. Be careful that your daughter-in-law scolds you behind your back." Mu Yan smiled and gave Zhan Zhao a sideways look, complaining to him.

"She dares to complain." Before Zhan Zhao spoke, Zhan Qi over there took over the conversation first.

Mu Yan didn't bother to talk to this stupid son, she just gave her son a few false nods and sent them back to the room to see their daughter-in-law.He hooked Zhan Zhao's arm and pulled him into the room. As soon as he entered the room, he urged Zhan Zhao to change clothes. Zhan Zhao was stupefied for a long time.With a sudden smile, she whispered into Mu Yan's ear: "Could it be that you haven't fed enough last night? Or I won't go out today?"

Before the words fell, Mu Yan pinched the soft flesh around his waist, looked at Zhezi stuffed into his arms, Zhan Zhao smiled and shook his head: "It's such an old age, it's still like this... Violent temper." After getting dressed, Zhan Zhao greeted Mu Yan with a booklet and walked out.

As soon as he left, he returned home only when night fell. Seeing Mu Yan who was coming up to him with crooked eyebrows and eyes, Zhan Zhao purposely put on a show and shook his head dejectedly. Suddenly stared as big as an egg.Seeing that his wife was about to scold her, Zhan Zhao hurriedly covered Mu Yan's mouth, and told the truth in a soft voice: "The booklet has already been handed in, just wait for the reply from the Holy Majesty, and there should be a reply within three to five days." Mu Yan Seeing that she was being tricked by Zhan Zhao again, she wished she could bite him to vent her anger, thinking about it, she practiced it, and before she bit him, she was carried onto the bed by Zhan Zhao.

Sure enough, three days later, the Ministry of Officials circulated the Holy Majesty's reply, along with the reply came a large amount of silver rewards and rewards, which approved Zhan Zhao's resignation.

Mu Yan got the promise, and happily asked the girl and servants to pack up their things and prepare to go out to visit the great rivers and mountains.Unexpectedly, at the lunch table just now, after eating a piece of sweet and sour fish given to her by the eldest daughter-in-law, she rushed out the door covering her mouth.Zhan Zhao was shocked when he saw this, and his sons shouted for the girls to invite the doctor.

After a stick of incense, the doctor was dragged in, and after finally recovering his breath, he put his fingers on Mu Yan's veins.After a while, the doctor stood up and congratulated Zhan Zhao: "Lord Zhan, madam, this is a happy pulse. It has been more than a month since I saw the pulse." When Zhan Zhao heard this, he smiled openly, and his son and daughter-in-law were all dumbfounded. This is the bead, what are you doing.

The most depressing thing is Mu Yan, who agreed to travel all over the country?What about eating delicious food all over the world?What about everything that was agreed?It's all over now...
