When Zhang Shou came out of the kitchen, Little Peanut was no longer there. According to Ah Liu, this kid will leave a little bit of each dish, and then put it on a plate and send it to Xian Yunhe. Thinking of the porridge boiling on the stove in the kitchen, he couldn't help but yawn and said, "There is still preserved egg and lean porridge on the stove, you can serve it yourself, I'll take a break!" ”

Zhu Ying ate to her heart's content, rubbing her stomach and wondering why her appetite was not big enough, when she heard Zhang Shou say that she was tired, she immediately stood up and greeted her. She knew how tired Zhang Shou was from the capital all the way, and he was not like herself, who had been working hard since he was a child, and he was dealing with all kinds of things non-stop when he arrived.

Therefore, she naturally supported Zhang Shou's arm and whispered, "Why don't you find a place to sleep in this palace?" ”

Zhang Shou suddenly hesitated: "This is the palace, we borrow the kitchen here, Du Heng can still open one eye and close one eye, but if I sleep here, it will be strange if he doesn't take the opportunity to make trouble...... I'll just find a random chair and squint for a while, and wait for the little peanut to come back. Go and make porridge yourselves, and leave me alone. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou smiled at Zhu Ying, he immediately moved the chair to the side of the tree, and curled up there to take a nap, the old salted fish's eyes flickered, but he dragged Zhu Er over, and sighed in admiration: "Your future brother-in-law is really approachable." ”

"Yes, who can tell that he actually came from a small village on the outskirts of Beijing?" Zhu Er deliberately revealed a little, and when he saw that the old salted fish was stunned, he glanced at the person and said with a smile, "What, you are very curious about my brother-in-law?" Hehe, he can be regarded as a legend in the capital, but it's a pity that you haven't heard of him in a small place in Cangzhou. ”

Although Lao Xianyu initially thought that Zhu Er was a little stupid, but when he saw people lobbying the eldest prince with clever tongues, he realized that even if these gentlemen had such and such shortcomings, they were by no means easy to get along with.

Therefore, listening to Zhu Er's obvious desire to indulge himself, he laughed and said: "I am an old man, I don't know the heroes of the world, and it is normal to be lonely and unheard." But ......" he glanced at Zhu Ying, who was taking the cloak and covering Zhang Shou on his body, but said meaningfully, "But this eldest lady of your family is very affectionate!" ”

"Humph!" Zhu Er suddenly felt a faint pain in his buttocks, and after snorting, he pretended to be impatient and said, "Nonsense, although it is my father's marriage that has been decided a long time ago, it was love at first sight when Yingying went to see it herself!" Even the emperor feels good about her vision...... An emperor like Master Ge personally accepts people as closed disciples, a bunch of gentlemen who are more horizontal than me, and honestly call people teachers! ”

The old salted fish's eyes flickered, and when he saw Zhu Er staring at Zhang Shou who was closing his eyes and recuperating over there, he felt that he had finally put together another piece of the puzzle in his heart - a young man who grew up in the countryside, but he was about to marry the daughter of Zhao Guogong, and the scenery in the capital was infinite, which ordinary people couldn't do anyway, right? When he first saw Zhang Shou yesterday, he only thought that he was handsome, but now he doesn't think so.

There are so many beautiful men in the world! Cangzhou Qijia Huangjia ...... There are few handsome sons and daughters in the family, and they have spent countless resources to supply Jinshi, but I have never heard of how people mix well in the court, let alone who can make a marriage that can make hundreds of people in Cangzhou talk about it. From this point of view, Zhang Shou's origin and experience are very doubtful.

What's more, Zhang Shou told him that he had heard about sweet potatoes and other reasons, and he always felt a little uneasy......

Zhu Ying tiptoed to cover Zhang Shou with the cloak she had taken off when she was too hot, and when she turned around and saw that Zhu Er and Lao Xianyu were talking, she drove them to the kitchen. After a while, she saw the old salted fish sneaking out with a bowl of porridge in his hand, and he smiled at her and slipped away. The acquaintance went to Xian Yunhe, so she nodded at Zhu Ernu, who came out one step later.

When Zhu Erxin comprehended and followed, she was in a trance, so she only heard Ah Liu ask: "Will the second son be too reluctant to deal with that old man?" ”

"Are you worried about the second brother?"

Zhu Ying turned her head sideways and glanced at Ah Liu, who appeared quietly behind her like a cat, and she smiled slyly: "Second brother, sometimes he is stupid, sometimes he is very shrewd, especially when he thinks that others are very powerful, then he will definitely be full of energy." For example, in our Zhu family......"

She snapped her fingers and said with a smile: "Of course, the most powerful one is grandmother, followed by me, then my father, and then my eldest brother, he can only be at the end." So in front of us, he will be cautious most of the time, even if he plays a little temper, it is absolutely measured. The time he messed up the mandarin duck spectrum didn't count, that time he thought that his father and eldest brother had an accident, so he messed up. ”

"Therefore, once he knows that the old salted fish is very powerful, he will definitely rack his brains and deal with people and use all means to deceive."

Ah Liu tilted his head and thought about it, and finally bowed his head slightly and said, "The eldest lady just said it's okay." ”

"I said okay, you just believe me!" Zhu Ying immediately smiled and stared at Ah Liu for a long time, then blinked and said, "Ah Liu, Ah Shou also told me, saying that you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, are stable and reliable, and dare to fight, but as soon as you see me, you will become a traitor...... Do you trust me that much? Aren't you afraid that I will coax your young master? ”

"No, it won't." Ah Liu spit out two words very firmly, and then said in an accentuated tone, "Young Master believes in you very much. ”

"Is Ah Shou believing in me, not you believing in me?" Zhu Ying felt that it was very fun to tease Ah Liu like this, but when people looked at her seriously, she couldn't help but feel that she seemed to be a little excessive, but the next moment when she heard Ah Liu's words, she was unconsciously amused.

"You and the young master are a good match, from the beginning." Ah Liu seemed to be considering what words were the most appropriate to describe, and in the end, he said in distress, "A match made in heaven? A natural pair? Perfect? Good fate? ”

"Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

Even if Zhang Shou made up his mind to pretend to be asleep before, when he heard the increasingly talkative and embarrassing conversation between Ah Liu and Zhu Ying, he really couldn't hold it anymore. He opened his eyes and glared at Ah Liu, and saw that the young man did not have the slightest consciousness of saying the wrong thing, but his face was full of innocence, so he laughed and scolded: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" It's good that you can find so many four-word words! ”

"I learned a lot of idioms."

Zhang Shou really didn't want to continue this cold joke-like conversation, stretched out a foot to kick, and when he saw that Ah Liu really slipped away, he saw Zhu Ying standing there, his face clearly revealing a delicate red, he coughed twice again and said: "Although what that kid said is not good, one thing is true...... Probably the first time you came to Meltwater Village, he thought you were very good. ”

"Hmph, don't say it's him, Aunt Wu thought I was very good at that time, just keep you high and stay away from me!" was coquettish, but Zhu Ying still lost Zhang Shou's expression that you knew each other, "Fortunately, you were quite discerning later." ”

"Yes, yes, I used to have eyes that didn't know Tarzan." Zhang Shou smiled dumbly, then looked at the shady tree above his head, and said lightly with relief, "I don't have any big ambitions, I didn't want to be in the picture, and I want to go down in history, so I want to do what I can." The situation in Cangzhou this time ...... Suffice it to say, I expected it, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. ”

"It's all the great prince's iniquity, what's your business!" Zhu Ying frowned, and then simply reached out from behind and pressed Zhang Shou's shoulder, "Besides, isn't Zhang Chen already here?" Wouldn't it be better for you to take that kid from the Jiang family to visit the families and wait for the resumption of work? Just like you said to Xian Yunhe, you can't let everything stand still because you are worried that something will happen! ”

"Having said that, in the eyes of those who only hope that men and women will weave, be simple and sincere, and that all the farmers and industrialists will be willing to take their positions, and no one will be allowed to trespass the thunder pool, and it is best that the world will remain the same forever for a hundred years and a thousand years, I will naturally become the culprit." Zhang Shou smiled, and then said casually, "After all, I released a terrible monster." ”

And this monster should have destroyed China's small-scale peasant system after hundreds of years...... But the powerful inertia of the smallholder system, even after a change, continued for many years, and even at one point it seemed to be alive because of another, more spontaneous change......

Zhu Ying didn't quite understand what Zhang Shou said, but she still said without hesitation: "What do you care about those stupid birds who are chirping?" Those old men who have never been able to tolerate new people, new ideas and new things should have left the scene a long time ago! ”

Although he knew what kind of character Zhu Ying was, when he heard these domineering words, Zhang Shou still couldn't help but laugh. He nodded slightly, and then said lightly: "If I can clean up the situation in Cangzhou this time, I plan to do something more after I return to Beijing." Although I don't have big ambitions, I can't just let some things be trampled like this! ”

"Good! Ah Shou, you let it go, what do you want me to do when the time comes, just say it! ”

Hearing this natural tone, smiling at the radiant face in front of him, Zhang Shou suddenly stood up and directly pulled Zhu Ying into his arms. It wasn't until he let go of his embrace, looking at her joyful but flushed face, that he couldn't help but touch her smooth forehead with his forehead, and then he took a step back.

"It is said that ten years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a hundred years of repair can be spent sleeping together...... I really don't know where I got the luck to have a marriage contract with you in such a huge world. ”

"You only know now!" Zhu Ying's eyebrows fluttered, brushed a strand of messy hair around her ear, and said with a smile, "But I think I'm luckier!" The order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, most people are at most the right people, and they will respect each other like guests in the future, so I never thought that the fiancé my father set for me would be different! Ah Shou, don't become an old man who becomes vulgar when you get older! ”

"Yes, yes, I will definitely spur myself to Mr. Ge in the future, are you satisfied?" Zhang Shou naturally knew that Ge Yong, who was old but still personable and humorous, had always been highly respected by Zhu Ying, so he simply took Mr. Ge as an example. Sure enough, he saw Zhu Ying nodding again and again, and he couldn't help but make fun of her at the moment.

"Don't just ask me, you do the same. Have you ever heard of a saying...... When I grow up, I will be your ......" Seeing Zhu Ying's puzzled face, Zhang Shou said with a smile, "When the innocent little girl was a child, she saw her aunt and sister shrewd and sophisticated, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and she disdained it in her heart, but when she got married, she suddenly found that all kinds of calculations and thousands of thoughts were just to survive well, so she became the one she hated the most." ”

Zhu Ying was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "I don't know if I will become a calculating, shrewd, and stable old feudal monarch like my grandmother, but I know that even if I become such an old feudal monarch, I may be more polite and polite to others, but when facing my own people, I will still laugh and scold all by nature, I don't believe it, you are willing to let me, and my children and grandchildren will not let me!" ”

"......" Zhang Shou was suddenly speechless. Zhu Ying's reason is really good and powerful, he can't find anything to refute at all! Moreover, children and grandchildren can say it so easily...... They haven't gotten married yet, and this is really a big lady!

When Zhu Er and the old salted fish and little peanut came back together, Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying had already finished speaking. The old salted fish sent Xiao Peanut to talk to Zhang Shou Zhu Ying, and he went straight into the kitchen, carefully put away all the remaining ingredients and seasonings, and even searched for any obvious residues left in the garbage, and then came out of the kitchen with the basket.

Zhu Er, who was sneaking peeping at the door, couldn't help but feel more and more suspicious when he saw this scene. If you don't have anything else in mind, why don't you want to leave any traces?

Little Peanut was stumped by Zhu Ying's words, and he didn't notice Zhu Er's peeking at the kitchen door at all.

Zhang Shou couldn't help but glance at Ah Liu amusefully after seeing Zhu Er's very unprofessional surveillance behavior, wanting the young man to turn around and train the students, but he saw that Ah Liuzheng was wiping the short sword given by Chu Kuan on the ground, looking extremely serious.

When he came out, in order to avoid dazzling eyes, Zhang Shou took a carriage, and now when he went back, he brought an old salted fish, and the carriage seemed a little crowded, but fortunately, the old salted fish squeezed together with the little peanut Zhu Er was honest, and his eyes only paid attention to his big basket containing ingredients from beginning to end. When the group returned to the county Yaqian Street, it was already afternoon.

When turning into this street, Zhang Shou gradually heard a commotion outside. Zhu Ying was anxious, and she had already lifted the curtain curiously to look out. I saw that a lot of people had gathered in front of the county government, and many people were shouting loudly, and all kinds of voices came and went, so noisy that it was difficult to distinguish the words. Finally, as we got closer, the voice finally became clear.

"Thanks to General Mingwei's wisdom, otherwise we Cangzhou people have suffered for many years but there is nowhere to say!"

"Those rich and unkind dogs have exploited us for so many years, and now they are stirring up chaos, and the court wants to call the shots for us!"

"If you have done so many heinous evil things, you should have your house raided! As much as they have stripped us of us, they should be spit it all out! ”

Hearing this almost one-tone shout, as well as many echoing voices, Zhang Shou only felt that he smelled an extremely dangerous sign. At this moment, the curtain of the car was suddenly lifted, and a person rushed up quickly.
