After Lu Xuanbo left, Zhao Junsheng walked slowly behind the carriage alone, he turned his head and looked back, and saw that Shen Hui, the Hanlin cultivator, was following behind, and there were some guards dressed as civilians secretly following around.

He thought about it and beckoned to Shen Hui, Shen Hui is the new champion, and it is his turn to be on duty next to Zhao Junsheng today.

Shen Hui stepped forward and bowed his hand: "King! ”

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly said: "Don't be so loud, we are now micro-service, called Childe!" ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Do you bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" ”

Shen Hui wanted to record Zhao Jun's daily words and deeds and edicts, so no matter where Zhao Junsheng was, he had to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone with him. ”

Zhao Junsheng asked him for a piece of paper, found a place where no one took out the seal, stamped the seal on the blank paper, handed it to Shen Hui and said: "You go back and draft a secret edict, and order Xiangzhou Assassin Shi Pang to go to Luoyang to see the captain's family as an envoy, and persuade the captain's family to surrender to my Qianguo, the conditions can be higher, and the highest can refer to the conditions given to Sima Chuzhi, and after the preparation, let Yousi send 800 li to Xiangzhou urgently!" ”

"Yes!"

The carriage in which Mulan was riding stopped outside the downtown area, Zhao Junsheng chased after him, and the family followed the crowd on the street into the trouble.

"Grandpa, what is that?" The eldest son, Zhao Dong, pointed to the sugar gourd on the shoulders of an old man and asked.

Zhao Junsheng said: "That's a sugar gourd, do you want it?" ”

"Yes, yes, I want one!"

"Grandpa, I want one too!" Sister Zhao Rui also shouted.

"Okay, one sugar gourd per person!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, stepped forward to ask the old man for the price, took out the copper coin, bought two sugar gourds, and gave one to each of the brothers and sisters.

Hua Mulan saw the three-month-old third child Zhao Ping in her arms staring at the sugar gourd in her brother and sister's hands with big black eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you looking at?" You're too young to eat sugar gourds! ”

The brother and sister were led by Zhao Junsheng while eating sugar gourds, looking left and right, and saw someone selling windmills, Zhao Dong shouted: "Grandpa, that is fun, I want it, I want it!" ”

"I want it too!"

Zhao Junsheng saw that it was a paper windmill and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go buy it, one for each person!" ”

I bought two windmills and gave them to each brother and sister, and explained: "Take care of yourself!" ”

After turning two streets, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan's family walked to Suzaku Street, and Hua Mulan said to Zhao Junsheng: "Husband, there is Miss Wan's shop in front, let's go over and sit down, I haven't been here for a long time!" ”

"Okay, you can go wherever you say!"

Hua Mulan glanced at him, and walked to Wan Yutong's tailor shop with the third child in her arms.

"I heard that Miss Wan has several shops in Qianjing City, this is the largest shop, and Miss Wan does needlework here on weekdays!" Mulan said as she walked.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Everyone comes for her craft, so many shops are so busy with her?" ”

"I heard that she also hired a lot of tailors, and she is not doing it alone, and only this one shop can make clothes to order, and the other shops sell ready-to-wear and fabrics!"

While talking, Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan took their children to Wan Yutong's shop, and a woman greeted them: "Do the guest officers want to order clothes or buy ready-to-wear clothes and fabrics?" ”

Hua Mulan said: "I'm looking for you Miss Wan!" ”

"Please two of you, please go inside, I'll go Miss!"

Wan Yutong heard that someone was looking for her, and she walked out who was sewing clothes inside, and saw that it was Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan who were wearing regular clothes with children, their faces were happy, and they were about to step forward to salute, but they found that Hua Mulan and Zhao Junsheng looked at her again and again.

Hua Mulan preemptively said, "Miss Wan, your business is so busy!" ”

Wan Yutong said with a smile: "What kind of wind blew Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao here, please serve tea inside!" ”

"Okay!" Hua Mulan hugged the child and followed Wan Yutong to the inner room.

"Master Zhao? Am I that old? Zhao Junsheng pursed his lips and led the child to follow him in.

Behind the tailor's shop was a courtyard, cleaned, neatly arranged, with a stone table in the middle, four stone benches around it, and a large tree beside it.

Wan Yutong made tea for Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, and put some folk snacks on the table, although the delicacy is not as good as the pastries and snacks made by the palace chefs, the taste is not bad, the two children have never eaten it, and they think it is delicious.

Wan Yutong teased the eldest Zhao Dong and the second Zhao Rui, "These two children are so old in a blink of an eye!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said to the two children: "Haven't called anyone yet?" Call Auntie! ”

The two children didn't recognize their lives, so they opened their mouths and shouted: "Auntie! ”

"Good, good!" Wan Yutong was very happy and kept teasing the brother and sister.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "I heard that there are many people who ask matchmakers to come to the door to propose marriage, but don't even one of them make you look at them?" ”

Wan Yutong stopped playing with the children and said with a smile: "It's easy to find a mother-in-law, but it's difficult to find a good man. After all, we have to be cautious! ”

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but look at Mulan.

Hua Mulan looked over, glared at him, and said to Wan Yutong, "That······ Yutong, you better go into the palace, I don't mind, now that there are more children, I can't take care of him if I want to take care of the child······"

Zhao Junsheng next to him was stunned, this and this······ What's going on, why don't you talk nonsense without consulting me?

Wan Yutong immediately shook his head and said, "Mulan, what are you talking about?" You are now a princess, this kind of joke is not to be made! ”

"No, no, listen to me, Yutong, I'm sincere, not joking!"

Wan Yutong said with a straight face when he heard this: "Since you said that you are not joking, okay, then I will tell you, I am not joking, I will not enter the palace, even if you are all willing, I am not happy!" ”

Hua Mulan turned her head to look at Zhao Junsheng: "Look, you are all disliked!" ”

Zhao Junsheng shouted: "Why did it happen to me again?" ”

"Do you think that if you can hide from the first year of junior high school, you can hide from the fifteenth? I think you just don't want to be responsible! Mulan slammed over mercilessly.

Zhao Junsheng felt very aggrieved in his heart, don't I want to be responsible? I don't want to be emotionally in debt, but how do I know what you think in your heart?

Hua Mulan turned her head and said to Wan Yutong: "Yutong, in fact, I have wanted to tell you about this for a long time, but I have never been able to find a chance, besides, I also know your temper, but now I can't come to you!" ”

"Now I am the only hostess in the palace, and he is quite peaceful, and he didn't provoke those maids, but the opinions of those ministers in the court are very big, and they always think that I am alone to occupy him, thinking that the royal family should have more children and grandchildren to be conducive to inheritance, and if you want to have more children and grandchildren, you must let him have more women! If I am the only hostess in this palace, there will be some rumors outside the palace, saying that I am jealous and can't tolerate other women! The ministers are always unrelenting, and they want Brother Junsheng to take a few concubines, and the pressure on Brother Junsheng is also relatively great, I thought about it for a long time, instead of cheapening other women, it is better for our sisters to do a good job of helping Brother Junsheng together, you and I have a deep sisterhood, and it will not be like the palace women of other dynasties fighting around, what do you think? ”

Wan Yutong's face was a little red, "Mulan, you said this too suddenly, my heart is very messy!" ”

Hua Mulan also knew that it was impossible for Wan Yutong to decide now, so she had to give her some time to think about it, so she said: "That's it, I know it's a little hasty to make your decision suddenly, you think about it." I'm sincere, I don't mean to test you, you also know that my Mulan has one thing to say, two to say, not to play false! Brother Junsheng owes you affection, and he has always felt guilty and uneasy, but he has to take into account my feelings, thinking that this thing can't have the best of both worlds, to be honest, what woman doesn't want her sweetheart to be single-minded towards her? I naturally want to do the same in my heart, but the reality makes us all have to back down, if the situation in the palace continues like this, the pressure on those ministers on Junsheng's brother will become more and more great, and it will be unfavorable to the Qianguo when the time comes! ”

"My mind is a little messy, you better go back first, I want to be quiet!" Wan Yutong began to drive people away.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan had no choice but to leave first with the child.

On the way, Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but say, "Why don't you discuss it with me first?" ”

Hua Mulan sighed: "Brother Junsheng, I know that you have a lot of pressure, every time those ministers force you to take another concubine, you refuse, I know that you are afraid of my feelings, I know that you are good to me, I also know that you want to be more stable in the palace, if there are too many women, there will be conflicts, and you will be jealous, but it is not okay for you to always refuse the suggestions of the ministers, for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be confrontation between the monarchs and ministers!" ”

"Besides, Yutong is not an outsider, she is not the kind of woman who will be jealous, it is better to marry her into the palace than to marry another woman, you can't always take care of my feelings, you have to think about the future of the country!"

Zhao Junsheng also knows what those ministers think, some ministers want to marry their daughters, nieces, and nieces to her, so as to obtain the identity and rights of their relatives, so that the power pattern of the court will be reshuffled; And some people are really thinking about the overall situation, they are worried about the harem politics, after all, there is only one woman in the palace now, and it is easy for her to interfere in politics, and the harm of the harem has always been known to everyone.

Some people are selfish, some people are out of public intentions, Zhao Junsheng is clear in his heart, but he hasn't thought about it yet.

Zhao Junsheng said: "I know what you said, but things are not so simple, there are one and there are two, today I will marry Miss Wan into the palace, and tomorrow a minister will suggest that I marry the daughter of so-and-so!" ”
