Chapter Ninety-Four: A Family
The carriage stopped in front of Li Yun, and Zhao Yan lifted the curtain to see the pretty face that was becoming more and more marked, and couldn't help but suddenly have a sense of amazement.
Once upon a time, the girl in front of her was just a brutal and willful yellow-haired girl, the times have changed, the stars have changed, and she doesn't want the yellow-haired girl of the past to change, and she has grown into a young girl with outstanding temperament and sweet face.
The lover who was thinking about it looked at herself without blinking, Li Yun's heart suddenly turned into floating clouds and drifted away, she and Zhao Yan looked at each other for a moment and then lost first, lowered her head and looked at her toes, but she didn't say a word.
Zhao Yan retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Get in the car." ”
"Hmm." Li Yun whispered a promise, and then boarded the carriage with the support of Xiao Xiang'er, and sat on Zhao Yan's side after entering the carriage.
Xiao Xiang'er grimaced at Li Er, who was sitting on the wheel, and entered the carriage with a smile, and began to chatter after sitting down next to Li Yun.
"Childe, you can be regarded as back, you don't know how much your family misses you, especially the girl, who wanders around your house all day long, and all the dreams you talk about at night are you, so noisy that I can't sleep."
Zhao Yan looked at Li Yun with a smile, and saw that she was so ashamed that even the roots behind her ears were red, and her heart suddenly warmed, and it felt really good to have someone to worry about.
"Childe, you haven't seen the new lady yet, have you? This lady is good-looking and kind, but sometimes quite scary. A few days ago, Mrs. Zhang owed her hand and stole one of the girl's bracelets, and as a result, she was caught by the porter Lao Zhou. After the lady knew about it, she directly asked the housekeeper Uncle An to beat Mrs. Zhang, and she was bleeding, but in the end, Mrs. said that Mrs. Zhang was old, and she was also diligent in her hands and feet in the past, and she was a first-time offender this time, and she didn't send Mrs. Zhang to the official, but just treated her injuries, and then gave her a few taels of silver and let her go. ”
"Childe, you just came back and haven't heard of it, have you? Recently, there was a big case, the daughter of the chief of the family in Zhonglang Village outside the city, and the daughter of the shopkeeper of a silk shop in the city, all called a flower thief to be harmed, I heard that the death was miserable, I and the girl were afraid of it, if it wasn't for the housekeeper to accompany us these days, we wouldn't dare to go out. By the way, these days, the girl knows that you are coming back, and she will go outside the city every day to wait for you, and it will be an hour or two to stop on the edge of the peach forest, and no one will listen to her. ”
Li Yun couldn't help it, and reached out to pinch Xiao Xiang'er's waist, causing Xiao Xiang'er to scream, and the master and servant suddenly made a mess.
The carriage stopped at the door of Zhao's house, Wang An and Li Er jumped down from the wheel to settle the bill with the coachman, and when Zhao Yan got off the car, he specially asked Wang An to give the coachman some more silver, so that the honest coachman thanked him again and again.
Li Yun stepped out of the carriage, and saw that Zhao Yan was already standing there and stretched out her hand to help herself, her heart was suddenly sweet, she put her hand in Zhao Yan's palm, and then stretched her body and jumped out of the car carefully.
Not far away, a thin man in his thirties looked at Li Yun in front of the Zhao family and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, he was thin, about six feet tall, with two big blue-black circles on his sallow face, obviously looking overly drunk.
In the past few days, Li Yun went to the city gate every day to wait for Zhao Yan, and this man followed him every day, gradually finding out the details of Li Yun. Since knowing that Li Yun is the child daughter-in-law of Xinke Jinshi, Wang Wenyong, who is known as 'Thousands of Miles Alone', has determined his next goal.
Licking his chapped lips, Wang Wenyong glanced at Li Yun a few times again, and then turned around and blended into the crowd of people coming and going, he decided to do it tonight, if there is a chance, it is best to restrain this new science and technology jinshi, and then in front of him, let him see with his own eyes how he ravaged his child daughter-in-law.
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Wenyong was a little excited, and even reacted with his lower body, but he didn't care that others would see it, because he had already arrived at the place where he lived, next to a house not far from the state government.
This house is not big, the appearance is a little dilapidated, the roof is overgrown with weeds, obviously some disrepair, at this time the door is locked, the lock is also full of patina, Wang Wenyong came to the door to look around, and then walked to the side and jumped into the yard with a slight jump on the wall.
This dwelling has not been inhabited for a long time, I heard that the owner of the house has been missing for several years because of debt evasion, Wang Wenyong wandered here from other places, and it took three days to find this place as his lair, just because it is close to the state government, he knows the truth of darkness under the lamp. Sure enough, a few days ago, no one came to inspect this dwelling that had obviously not been inhabited for a long time.
Zhao Yan didn't know that the danger was approaching, he had only been gone for a month, and naturally he had no strangeness to his house, but nominally he had an extra mother who had never been masked, which made Zhao Yan feel very awkward when he first met him.
Speaking of Zhao Yan's stepmother Yan Ruyu is not a few years older than Zhao Yan, her facial features are marked, her figure is slightly plump, and her complexion is very white. Naturally, he used twelve points of strength to promote this marriage, and Zhao Yan also made a lot of effort, otherwise with Zhao Xin's temperament, he would never simply respond to this family business.
Yan Ruyu is embroidering in the room, I heard that the stepson who had just been admitted to the Jinshi was back, and suddenly hurriedly cleaned up and hurriedly went out to greet her, although her mother's family has a small wealth, but it is also an ordinary family, from the small gate not out of the two doors, in the boudoir I heard that those who can be admitted to the Jinshi are the stars in the sky, and a glance at people on weekdays can make that person unable to move, Yan Ruyu only felt that the rumors were not credible, but he also knew that his stepson was a capable person, and since he passed the door, he thought about how to get along with him all day long, Now that the matter is coming, I remember that a few days ago, even the local parents Li Zhizhou came to say goodbye because of the fact that his family had a jinshi, but I can't remember the thoughts of the past.
Worried in his heart, Yan Ruyu quickly came to the main seat of the front hall and sat down, thought about it and got up and came to the door of the hall to stand still, and before thinking about how to speak, he saw a tall young man getting closer and closer in the crowd.
Zhao Yan saw a young woman standing at the door of the hall, who was expected to be his stepmother, although he felt awkward, but he did not dare to be ambiguous on his face, as the so-called family and everything is prosperous, he will definitely not stay at home in the future, for the sake of the cheap father's ears, do not let this cheap mother pick on it.
"The child greets his mother. When the child returned from a long journey, he went to the room to meet his mother, and his mother came to greet him. ”
Yan Ruyu pulled her hair, settled down and smiled: "Xiaolang, you have been tired all the way, come in and rest and rest." I didn't know that you came back today, and I went to the workshop again early in the morning, and I had already asked the maid around me to call. ”
Zhao Xin heard that his son was back, he immediately put down the affairs at hand, and rushed home in a hurry, he was not worried about Zhao Yan and his newly crossed the door of the continuation of the conflict, think about it is impossible, these two people are not the kind of unreasonable, he is anxious that he has found someone to calculate the day to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, preferably tomorrow, followed by five days later, since his son is back today, it is naturally the best to return to his hometown tomorrow to worship his ancestors, I am afraid that some people will hear the wind and pull him to drink in the name of Zhao Yan's celebration, Especially that Li Zhizhou, when he came a few days ago, he said that when Xiaolang came back, he would hold a banquet for him and introduce him to some local clans, and if he drank too much, he would definitely delay the time to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Zhao Yan's third uncle Zhao Quan and cousin Zhao Qi ran behind Zhao Xin out of breath, and now the scale of the workshop has expanded again, Zhao Xin is busy every day, seeing that his eldest nephew has become more and more old since he got married, he took him out of the village and let him take care of some simple affairs in the workshop.
It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, Zhao Yan was lying on the bed with a red face and closed his eyes to recuperate, at dinner he had a few drinks with his cheap father, third uncle and cousin, and the family gathered together made him very relieved and happy, but the wine he drank was distilled liquor, and the degree was a little high, Zhao Yan felt that he might be a little too much.
The door curtain was lifted, and a familiar fragrance came to his face, Zhao Yan opened his eyes and looked at the jade face, and asked with a smile: "You still don't rest so late?" ”
There was no one around, and Li Yun was not so shy, she wrinkled her nose and snorted softly, then reached out and fanned under her nose, and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fear that you would vomit into the house at night, people wouldn't care about you." This is a decanting soup, drink it quickly. ”
Zhao Yan took the soup bowl handed over by Li Yun, looked at the slightly turbid liquid in it, and said with palpitations: "I didn't drink too much, I have a good amount of alcohol now, and I don't need to drink sobering soup." ”
Li Yun glanced at him when he heard this, and sneered: "Don't drink it, forget it, anyway, I put a lot of crotons in it, and if you drink it, you will definitely be killed." ”
Zhao Yan scratched her head, a woman's mind is really hard to guess, it's just a matter of eating a trench and growing wise, it's so late, it's impossible for this little girl to take croton to make soup for herself for the second time, right? She didn't mean it last time, but this time with experience, she should ...... Possible...... I guess I won't misplace the material again!
