13. Stone Lion (6)
Yu Xiaoyu's "obedience" surprised Zhan Zhao very much - he originally thought that it would take a lot of words to get Yu Xiaoyu to agree to give up the restaurant, but he didn't expect this matter to be so smooth, and Yu Xiaoyu was so easy to speak, so Zhan Zhao secretly made up his mind in his heart to be better to Xiaoyu.
"Erya?" Hearing the familiar name in Yu Xiaoyu's mouth, Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Could it be Wang ......?"
"Sister Yu," a female voice interrupted Zhan Zhao's words, "Ah, Lord Zhan, are you back?" ”
As soon as I entered Yu Xiaoyu's room, I saw an unexpected person, plus now the two of them were sitting on the bed together, and Yu Xiaoyu's disheveled and disheveled appearance, the eyes widened in surprise; Then he shrunk his neck a little weakly: "Sister Yu, Lord Zhan, am I not here at the right time?" ”
"Miss Wang," Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at Wang Erya, the younger sister of the dynasty, "why are you here?" ”
"Erya, you ......"
"Hey," Wu's mother also followed Wang Erya to Zhan Zhao and Yu Xiaoyu's room, and pulled Wang Erya over: "You girl, I didn't see it at a glance, you really ran over." Tell me, is this a place you can come to casually? ”
Mother Wu said, holding Erya with one hand, while looking at Zhan Zhao and Yu Xiaoyu: "Lord Zhan, Mrs. Zhan, it's still early, you two can rest for a while; I'm going to take this little girl down now, and I won't let anyone bother you two again. ”
"Mother Wu, it's okay, I'm not here in Longtan Tiger's Den, there's nothing I can't come." Yu Xiaoyu stopped Wu's mother with a smile: "Besides, I've woken up, but I haven't had time to freshen up yet." It just so happens that I have something to tell Erya. Erya, since you're back, help me run an errand: you go to the restaurant in a while, talk to Uncle Yu, the shopkeeper of An, and say that I can't go......"
"Hmm!" Erya nodded: "I'll go to the restaurant right away." Sister Yu, Lord Zhan, then I'll go down first. ”
Mother Wu said with a smile: "Lord Zhan, Mrs. Zhan, you two rest for a while, and I will make breakfast immediately." ”
Wu's mother said with a smile, and neatly took away the chicken soup on the table outside.
Looking at Wu's mother's back, Yu Xiaoyu lowered her voice: "Didn't you deal with the chicken soup last night?" ”
Zhan Zhao shook his head and looked at Yu Xiaoyu in surprise: "No." What's wrong, what's the problem? ”
"Oh," Yu Xiaoyu said hatefully, "You're really ......"
"That's right," Zhan Zhao ignored Yu Xiaoyu's words, but asked puzzledly, "Why is the younger sister of the dynasty here, and it seems that she is still very familiar with you?" ”
"Erya, you say?" Yu Xiaoyu suddenly opened the cabinet at the head of the bed, took out underwear from it, and hurriedly rushed off the bed: "I'll tell you when I come back." Oh, by the way, your clothes are in the cabinet behind the screen, if you want to change them, look for them yourself. ”
Thinking of Yu Xiaoyu's hurried appearance, Zhan Zhao shook his head, only to find that the snow-white sheets were stained with a bright red bloodstain.
Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Yu Xiaoyu's condition, and his face turned red uncontrollably......
Yu Xiaoyu took care of himself and returned to the room, and saw Zhan Zhaozheng with a red face, his eyes staring at the bed and not knowing what he was looking at.
Yu Xiaoyu followed Zhanzhao's line of sight and saw the bloodstains that made him feel very embarrassed.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Xiaoyu bluffed at Zhanzhao, quickly ripped off the sheets, rolled them up and threw them aside, and took out the clean sheets from the bedside cabinet and spread them neatly on the bed.
Seeing Yu Xiaoyu blushing and constantly busy, Zhanzhao felt that he was really married, had a wife and a family......
Yu Xiaoyu laid out the sheets, washed his face with the water that Zhanzhao had called early in the morning, and then went around behind the screen, sat on the chair in front of the dresser, and took care of his face.
Zhan Zhao, on the other hand, took advantage of this opportunity to carefully look at the room that already had a hostess, and found that the room had really changed a lot in the days since he left......
For convenience, Zhanzhao chose this large suite, which also has two rooms inside and outside, as a new house for himself and Yu Xiaoyu.
In the days of his absence, Yu Xiaoyu rearranged the inner room, that is, the bedroom of the two people.
A screen separates the room: there is a small cabinet at the head of the bed, just now Yu Xiaoyu took out the close-fitting clothes from it, and then took out the sheets, and at this time Zhanzhao didn't know what else was inside; The original position of the small fish dresser next to the window has also been replaced by a set of low cabinets; There was an extra shelf in the room that I had seen last night, and the washbasin was placed on the shelf; In the uncovered box next to the shelf, there is a white object with a faint milky scent, similar to soap for washing face......
On the other side of the screen, the wardrobe that I had prepared to marry Xiaoyu is gone, and it is replaced by a larger wardrobe; A glass mirror more than one person high is placed next to the wardrobe, clearly reflecting his own shadow; Yu Xiaoyu's dresser was also moved to the back of the screen by her, and it was placed in the same space as the cabinet and mirror; And on Xiaoyu's dresser, there are many more bottles and cans that he has never seen and doesn't know the purpose of.
At this moment, Yu Xiaoyu was sitting in front of the dresser, constantly smearing the contents of those bottles and cans on his face.
Zhan Zhao walked over curiously, picked up a bottle casually, opened it and smelled it: "What is this?" ”
Yu Xiaoyu glanced up at Zhan Zhao, then lowered his head again, picked up the eyebrow pencil in his hand, and looked at Zhan Zhao: "If you're curious, why don't you try it?" ”
Looking at the things that Yu Xiaoyu handed to him, Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, with a hint of crampedness in his tone: "Where will I do this?" ”
Yu Xiaoyu smiled: "It's just a try, I don't dislike you." ”
Hearing Yu Xiaoyu's words, Zhan Zhao reluctantly took the thing in Xiao Yu's hand, and gently raised Yu Xiaoyu's chin who wanted to give up the position to him......
Yu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then felt that Zhan Zhao was holding an eyebrow pencil and applying hard to his eyebrows.
"Uh," Yu Xiaoyu, who realized what Zhanzhao was doing, hurriedly said, "It's not that difficult, you don't have to be so nervous, you don't have to work so hard......"
After a while, Zhanzhao finally ended the attempt on Yu Xiaoyu's face, he put down his eyebrow pencil, and secretly used his internal strength to clean the sweat on his hands, and then carefully observed the fruits of his labor.
Yu Xiaoyu turned his head and saw the black and thick eyebrows on his face that looked like crayon Xiaoxin from the mirror; However, as soon as he remembered Zhanzhao's blunt action when he had just painted his eyebrows, Yu Xiaoyu finally smiled awkwardly: "Good drawing; It will be better if you practice more in the future! ”
waited until Yu Xiaoyu finally finished dressing up, and then sat opposite Zhanzhao, eating breakfast, while looking at Zhanzhao who seemed to have something to say, but looked a little hesitant.
"What's wrong?" Yu Xiaoyu, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally put down the chopsticks in his hand: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly......"
"Xiaoyu," Zhan Zhao also put down his chopsticks: "I wanted to ask just now, why is the younger sister of the dynasty here?" ”
"You mean Erya?" Yu Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I think she has been following the dynasty, after all, she is a girl, she always has to grow up slowly, and it is always inconvenient to live with a man." So I asked her to come and accompany me, and occasionally help me run errands; Yesterday she accompanied Mrs. Bao to the temple to offer incense, and only came back this morning. ”
Zhan Zhao nodded: "There is only such a sister in the dynasty, since you took her over, you must treat her well, don't treat her as a maid; If only ......"
Yu Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Could it be that in your heart, I am a very mean person?" ”
Looking at Yu Xiaoyu's funny appearance with two black and thick eyebrows, Zhanzhao couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhan Zhao's sudden laughter made Yu Xiaoyu look at him in surprise, looking puzzled.
Zhan Zhao stopped laughing, stretched out his hand, and wiped the traces on Yu Xiaoyu's eyebrows: "Let's wipe it." ”
"I think it's pretty good." Yu Xiaoyu said with a smile: "This is the eyebrows that the dignified Nanxia Zhanzhao painted for me!" If this is in my ...... They all have to be framed and passed on as family heirlooms, and passed on to their children and grandchildren. By the way, don't you have to go to Kaifeng Mansion today? ”
"The adults gave me a few days off," Zhanzhao smiled and squeezed Yu Xiaoyu's hand: "Let me accompany you well!" ”
Yu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and secretly sighed that his good days of being the king and hegemon in this family were gone.
"Xiaoyu," after the meal, Zhan Zhao, who was walking in the courtyard with Yu Xiaoyu, suddenly said, "The matter of the county lord ......"
"Needless to say," Yu Xiaoyu smiled and waved his hand: "I didn't pay attention to that matter at all." ”
Yu Xiaoyu's atmospheric words, Ling Zhanzhao's heart was a little uncomfortable: "Could it be ...... You really don't care at all? ”
"Do you care?" Yu Xiaoyu looked at Zhanzhao curiously: "Do you mean jealous?" ”
Zhanzhao's somewhat aggrieved and awkward expression successfully pleased Yu Xiaoyu: "She...... Not enough qualifications! Why, Master Zhan, do you still expect me to pull your collar and cry and make trouble and hang yourself to explain the relationship between you and her? ”
Thinking of Yu Xiaoyu's crying and stingy appearance before, Zhan Zhao quickly shook his head: "I'll just say it casually, if you don't want to hear it, forget it." ”
"I just remembered when you mentioned the county lord," Yu Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the concubine Liu Ying: "I encountered a strange thing a few days ago!" ”
"What's weird?"
"It's the West Hall pony;" Yu Xiaoyu pursed his lips: "It's just a few days ago, a pair of foreign masters and servants came to the restaurant......"
"What's so strange about that?" Zhan Zhao looked at Yu Xiaoyu puzzled: "It's normal for there to be strangers in the restaurant!" ”
"You listen to me," Yu Xiaoyu held Zhanzhao's arm: "The two of them said they were here to find that Cui He...... Oh, it's the master's brother-in-law. ”
"That is to say," Zhan Zhao smiled: "The pair of master and servant surnamed Cui came to the capital to look for people, and the person they are looking for is in the capital." What's the matter, can't they find their righteous brother anymore and need Kaifeng Mansion to help? ”
Yu Xiaoyu shook his head: "It's not that you need Kaifeng Mansion to help, but there is a strange thing......
"What's weird?" Yu Xiaoyu's words aroused Zhanzhao's curiosity.
"Do you remember that colt Liu Ying we saw yesterday?"
"Of course I remember," Zhan Zhao nodded: "But what does this have to do with the master and servant surnamed Cui?" ”
"Here's where things are to blame!"
"Huh?" Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Xiaoyu.
"According to the lord of the dynasty," Yu Xiaoyu sat on the newly erected swing in the courtyard: "Liu Ying was favored by the queen mother and the princess because she found the golden pill lost by the queen mother, and was given a marriage by the emperor as a concubine ......."
Zhan Zhao stood opposite Yu Xiaoyu: "That's what the dynasty said. ”
"And Liu Ying himself said that it was his ancestor who told him the whereabouts of the Empress Dowager Jin Pill and asked him to come to the capital to find the Empress Dowager Jin Maru......"
Zhan Zhao nodded: "Although I don't know what happened; However, I still find Liu Ying's statement a little hard to believe; Just ......"
"That's where things come to blame." Yu Xiaoyu pouted: "Didn't the master and servant surnamed Cui come to find his brother-in-law?" According to them, his brother-in-law came to the capital, and it was the one who passed the word for the Cui family to tell the Empress Dowager Jinmaru about the whereabouts of the ......"
"Nonsense!" Zhan Zhao said angrily: "How can there be such a thing? Could it be that there are still two golden pills in the world that can't be made? ”
"Don't be angry yet!" Yu Xiaoyu shook the swing: "Let me ask you one more thing, do you know where the Queen Mother's Golden Pill was found?" Or rather, does Bao know where the gold pill was lost? ”
Zhan Zhao shook his head: "This point, the dynasty has never mentioned it; How, do you know? ”
