Chapter 198: Grow a beard and show old age
The topic of belly pockets is too sensitive, Zhang Zhizhi hasn't figured out how to go back to the belly pocket, explain the relationship clearly, and Zhao Shi came back from Dali Temple.
His face was even more ugly than when he went, and his face was angry, as if he was about to eat someone.
Zhang Zhizhi was startled, and subconsciously took two steps back.
Her face was full of water droplets, Xu stayed up all night, and her face was not very good, Zhao Hanzhuo leaned slightly sideways in front of her, and asked Zhao Shi in a low voice: "Ask clearly?" ”
"Hmm."
"No trouble?"
Zhao Shi clenched his fists and gurgled, but finally gritted his teeth and replied, "No!" ”
"It's good if you don't have it."
Zhao Hanzhuo said lightly, his tone was a little relieved, Zhao Shi wanted to say something more, but he raised his hand to stop him: "It's not early, let's rest early." ”
He obviously didn't want to talk about the execution, so Zhao Shi gritted his teeth and forcibly held back his words.
Zhao Hanzhuo didn't look at Zhang Zhizhi anymore, and went back to the master bedroom to rest, Zhao Shi didn't leave, Zhang Zhizhi saw him drag a bench from the dining room, and sat directly outside the door of the master bedroom, like a door god.
Zhang Zhizhi looked curiously for a while and then went back to his room to rest.
She didn't sleep very well, and vaguely heard the sound of Zhao Shi kicking the door and talking, and listened carefully, but there was no sound, and she fell asleep again.
On the second day, Zhang Zhizhi got up early in the morning and boiled a pot of porridge, and the aroma quickly overflowed, and it was at this time that Old Man Zhang turned into Zhao Hanzhuo's house.
Zhao Shi heard the movement and quickly drew his sword and rushed in, and was glared out by Zhao Hanzhuo.
Zhao Hanzhuo didn't sleep much all night, his illness worsened, his face was not very good, he sat up with his robe on, and Old Man Zhang knelt down in front of him: "Grass people Zhang Weide to meet Lord Zhao!" ”
His voice was very deep, and his tone was full of respect, but it was still early, and his intention to come here Zhao Hanzhuo had probably guessed seven or eight.
"Master Zhang doesn't have to be polite."
Zhao Hanzhuo stretched out his hand to help the old man Zhang, and the old man stood up, his face full of vicissitudes of life.
"Lord Zhao, the grass people came today to take the little girl home."
He took Zhang Zhizhi back to his home, which was unreasonable, and that little excuse could only fool Zhang Zhizhi, and he couldn't hide the old man's eyes at all.
"She's fine here."
Zhao Hanzhuo said in a low voice, his voice was a little low, he knew why the old man came, yesterday he executed the criminal in front of so many people, but he was afraid that his reputation in Beijing now was better than Gu Jiong's.
"The grass people know that the adults are for her good, but the little girl is pure and good, and the grass people only hope that she can spend this life in peace."
When a father is a father, he naturally hopes that his children can live a safe and worry-free life.
Zhao Hanzhuo felt a little pain in his head, and the terrible cries in the nightmare echoed in his ears again, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I can protect her well." ”
The two of them played dumb riddles, but they didn't pierce the layer of window paper.
Old Man Zhang didn't expect him to give such a promise, hesitated for a long time, and took out a silver token from his sleeve: "Please also ask Lord Zhao to open the net!" ”
The token was begged by Wen Ling for Su Li, and under the mark of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, he pressed him hard.
Zhao Hanzhuo stared at the token for a long time and didn't speak, I don't know how long it was, there was a knock on the door: "Lord Zhao, are you awake?" I boiled porridge, do you want to eat some? ”
The girl outside the door did not hold grudges, and when she woke up, she did not care about his belly pocket, but prepared breakfast for him.
She's a good girl.
He thought to himself, and finally reached out and took the token.
He has been in the dark all year round, and he has been exposed to the worst side of human nature, and his temperament is not warm, so he really shouldn't harm such a good girl.
"Thank you, sir!"
The old man lowered his voice and thanked him, and left quietly through the window.
Zhang Zhizhi knocked on the door for a while and didn't get a response, and was about to break down the door and go in to have a look, when he heard Zhao Hanzhuo say in the house: "Rest today, it's still early, don't call me." ”
“……”
Hugh Mu, if you didn't say it earlier, I made such a big pot of porridge for nothing!
Zhang Zhizhi pursed his mouth, went back to eat a big bowl of porridge and then lay back on the bed to sleep.
When she woke up, she was in her carriage, and when she lifted the curtain and saw that it was her brother who was driving.
"Brother? What are you doing here? Zhang Zhizhi was very happy, and his eyes rolled and said, "That bastard named He Sanhu was caught?" ”
"Nope." Zhang Yuntian didn't reply: "Dad is afraid that you will be wronged, so let your sister-in-law go and beg Mrs. Xiaoyaohou, let Lord Zhao open the net and let you go home to stay." ”
"Oh."
Zhang Zhizhi nodded, feeling a little guilty: "Brother, I'm sorry, I've caused trouble to you and my sister-in-law again." ”
"You can't blame you for this incident."
Zhang Yuntian comforted, Zhang Zhizhi was restless in the carriage, and squeezed next to Zhang Yuntian to inquire about information: "Brother, is my father still giving me Zhang Luo's family affair these days?" ”
"The martial arts competition has been canceled."
"Really?"
Zhang Zhizhi looked happy, and heard Zhang Yuntian say again: "But we have to continue to look at each other." ”
“…… Oh. ”
Zhang Zhizhi's head drooped.
……
Zhao Hanzhuo rarely slept lazily, and he didn't get up until the third pole of the day, got dressed and came out, and there were already palace people waiting outside: "Lord Zhao is up!" ”
The palace people said happily that they would offer supplements such as old ginseng and deer antlers.
"I heard that Lord Zhao has been working too hard recently, and he suddenly had a serious illness last night, His Majesty specially asked the old slave to take a lot of medicinal materials from the treasury to replenish Lord Zhao's body, and His Majesty also specially told Lord Zhao to recuperate well in the past few days, and it is not too late to go back when the illness is completely cured."
This is a very sympathetic statement, but it is not right when you think about it carefully.
Why did he suddenly have a serious illness, Your Majesty didn't have any points in his heart?
There was a measure in his heart, and Zhao Hanzhuo's face was still respectful: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your favor." ”
The palace people chattered for a while before leaving, and as soon as the people left, Zhao Shi walked in: "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”
"Your Majesty needs a Shaoqing of Dali Temple who can distinguish between right and wrong, but he does not need a Shaoqing of Dali Temple who is kind to a woman."
This time, when dealing with these thieves, he was too kind.
In Chu Lingzhao's opinion, this kind of benevolence was unnecessary, so he issued a secret decree to force Zhao Hanzhuo to personally execute the punishment, and asked him to strip this benevolence out himself.
Zhao Shi lost his voice, he knew what Zhao Hanzhuo was going to face, and he couldn't say that Chu Lingzhao's move was completely wrong.
For a judge, perhaps only the more ruthless he is, the more he can calmly and objectively judge the truth.
Zhao Hanzhuo put everything away, Zhao Shi bought steamed buns and wontons from outside, Zhao Hanzhuo had no appetite and said that he wanted to drink porridge.
Zhao Shi entered the kitchen and found that Zhang Zhizhi's big pot of porridge had already dried up, so he hesitated and added water to boil it again, but it was burned.
Zhao Hanzhuo didn't eat a single bite of that big pot of porridge in the end.
Zhao Shi frowned, turned his head and went to the restaurant outside to buy rice porridge and vegetables, Zhao Hanzhuo only barely ate a few bites and couldn't eat it.
Zhao Shi had never seen Zhao Hanzhuo like this, as the imperial doctor said last night, he had a knot in his heart, and if this knot could not be untied, he would become ill.
"My lord, in a few days it will be Gu Yuanfeng Gu's birthday, but I want to go and have a look."
There are only a few people in Zhao Hanzhuo's capital who come and go, and Zhao Shi is afraid that he will be bored at home, so he tentatively proposes.
"It's fine."
Zhao Hanzhuo nodded, boiled the medicine and drank it, and felt that he was in good spirits before going out with Zhao Shi.
I was going out to buy birthday gifts, but I went to the Zhang family's ready-to-wear store while shopping.
The shop was opened by Su Li before, and after Wen Ling took over, he expanded the store and made the head office, and the business was very good.
Zhao Hanzhuo sat in the carriage and watched from afar, because the lively atmosphere brought a little smile.
"Do you want to cut two clothes?"
His life is only in the court, Dali Temple and at home, and he basically wears court clothes, and there are only two or three regular clothes, all of which are washed and washed.
Zhao Hanzhuo thought for a while, and finally got out of the car and walked into the store.
The guy in the shop was sharp-eyed and recognized who he was, so he enthusiastically led him to the backyard and asked the best tailor in the store to carefully tailor his clothes for him.
Halfway through the measurement, I heard the man shouting outside the door, his tone was full of joy, and when he went out, a group of carriages stopped at the door of the store, and a man with outstanding grace came out of the carriage at the head.
The man was dressed in a plain green clothes, not public, with a light smile on his face, and the people in the store seemed to be familiar with him, and after casually inquiring, he learned that he was Su Heng, the eldest young master of the Su family in Lizhou, who had worked as a perfumer in the store before, was polite and polite, and the most important thing was that he had not married yet.
Zhao Hanzhuo listened quietly, the imperceptible smile on his face was gone, and the excitement seemed to have nothing to do with him.
After measuring the size, Zhao Hanzhuo didn't say a word, and began to cough after getting into the carriage for a while.
"Adults like ......" Zhao Shi was worried when he heard it, and asked tentatively, but was interrupted as soon as he started: "No! Let's go back! ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Shi drove back.
Zhao Hanzhuo didn't eat much for lunch and dinner, and after nightfall, he drank medicine early and went to sleep.
Zhao Shi stood guard outside the door, and after making sure that he was asleep, he quietly performed light skills and left, went to Zhang's house, and it took a lot of effort to find Zhang Zhizhi's room.
Raising his hand and knocking on the window, Zhang Zhizhi's vigilant voice immediately sounded: "Who?" ”
"Me."
He said, fortunately, the voice was quite recognizable, Zhang Zhizhi quickly opened the window, looked left and right, made sure that there was no one, and dragged him into the house.
"You're crazy, what are you knocking on my window for a big night? If my father or other brothers find out, they will break your legs as a bad person! ”
I suffered a big loss from Mrs. He, but Mr. Zhang has put the people in the house up and down to tidy up, and the huge dart game can't even protect his own lady, how can he take orders when he spreads out? Who's going to look for them to dart?
Zhao Shi was also the first time to do this kind of thing, and he didn't know how to speak, so he was bored for a long time before he held back a sentence: "The adult is sick and has lost his appetite, you can help the adult make a pot of porridge again." ”
“……”
Zhang Zhizhi suspected that something was wrong with her ears, this person came in the middle of the night just to make porridge for her?
"I said that there are not a hundred porridge shops in this city, but also seventy or eighty, even if you can't cook, you should buy it back for him to eat, do you keep him hungry?"
“……”
Zhao Shi didn't know how to respond, pursed his lips and was silent, Zhang Zhizhi mistakenly thought that he was acquiescing, and rolled his eyes.
It's really a wooden subordinate brought by Lord Wood.
Zhang Zhizhi looked left and right, and saw that there was still a plate of uneaten peanut crisp on the table, so he immediately wrapped it in a handkerchief and gave it to Zhao Shi: "This peanut crisp is a specialty snack made by my sister-in-law, you can first fill your stomach with your family, and then I will recommend you a few more delicious porridge shops, you can buy it by remembering the name." ”
Zhang Zhizhi turned his head to find a pen and paper to write the name of the store, but heard Zhao Shi say eagerly: "The adults want to eat what you made." ”
Zhang Zhizhi's hand paused, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Shi: "This was said by Lord Zhao himself?" ”
“……”
Zhao Shi was speechless, and Zhang Zhizhi's chest was a little uncomfortable.
She has pasted Gu Zhi upside down, and she is also very informal, but the defense of men and women still knows, and her kindness to Zhao Hanzhuo can be regarded as repaid, she doesn't live there anymore, and she is still in a hurry to cook for others.
It's enough for her to hit the south wall once, how can she not learn to be obedient and be amorous again?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhizhi took a piece of clean oiled paper and replaced his handkerchief.
"This is the last time I will repay Lord Zhao's kindness, and I hope Lord Zhao can recover soon."
Zhang Zhizhi said with a smile, pushed open the window and asked Zhao Shi to leave.
Seeing Zhang Zhizhi's actions, Zhao Shi didn't know that he was reckless, and he didn't want to stay long, so he left directly.
Zhang Zhizhi watched his figure disappear into the night, and was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.
What, after saying such unclear words, she let her go home by herself the next day, and now she is disturbing her mind again, why is Lord Zhao's style of doing things more and more undecent?
Zhang Zhizhi rarely had insomnia, and appeared in the dining room with a pair of blue and black eyes on the second day with a haggard face, which provoked Wen Ling and Zhang Yuntian to ask her repeatedly if she was sick.
Zhang Zhizhi shook his head weakly, and after breakfast, he was assigned a task by the old man to accompany Su Heng around the capital.
Zhang Zhizhi knew what the old man meant, Wen Ling had also enlightened her, and Su Heng was better than those people before, so she naturally had nothing to refuse.
After eating, Zhang Zhizhi changed into men's clothes and went out with Su Heng.
Su Heng disappeared before, and then returned to his place for some reason, but when he woke up, he only remembered that he was the eldest young master of the Su family, and forgot everything that happened in Beijing.
Wen Ling invited all the doctors in the city to treat him, and after making sure that he was in good health, he went back to Lizhou by him, but he didn't expect that he would do business well within a year of returning to Lizhou, and soon had business dealings with Wen Ling.
Zhang Zhizhi is an idle personality, he has already turned around all the corners and corners of Beijing, and he is familiar with taking Su Heng to watch juggling, eat snacks, and do his best to be a landlord.
Su Heng spoke softly, treated people politely, and was careful everywhere, the two stayed together, there was no contradiction and conflict, but there was no palpitation.
After a long morning, Zhang Zhizhi was a little tired, so he took Su Heng to the opera garden to sit and listen to the music.
As soon as the two of them walked up to the second floor and were about to go to the private room, they heard a crisp shout: "Mother! ”
Zhang Zhizhi was startled, and turned around to see a masked, chubby little pill standing behind her, blinking at her eagerly with big black eyes.
"Guagua?"
Zhang Zhizhi was surprised, stretched out his hand to touch Chu Gua's face, but was slapped away by Chu Gua, and corrected seriously: "It's humility, not Guagua." ”
He now knows some words, and knows that Guagua, which is not a very nice name, and everyone has to introduce his big name as Chu Qian, except for Su Li and his two younger sisters, he is resolutely not allowed to be called Guagua.
Zhang Zhizhi was amused by his serious tone, and scraped the bridge of his little nose: "Okay, it's Qianqian, you are so smart, why did you mistake me for your mother?" ”
Chu Gua didn't answer, his eyes purred and turned to Su Heng, and a trace of cunning flashed quickly in his eyes.
Before Su Heng could tell what was inside, he heard a low call: "Qianqian, come here!" ”
Following the prestige, Su Li wore a begonia-colored summer skirt and walked with a woman's hair in a bun.
She was followed by Qibao alone, that is, she was Mrs. Xiaoyaohou, and she was not as grand as the lady next to her, and she had an indifferent and distant temperament, which made people can't help but feel kind.
"A-Li!"
Zhang Zhizhi went over to say hello, and Su Li saw that she was dressed as a man, and she was in good spirits, with a smile on her face: "Wen Ling said before that you were arrested by Zhao Hanzhuo again, and I was worried for a while, but today I saw that you were radiant, but I was worried in vain." ”
"With my skills, of course I can't be bullied for nothing!"
Zhang Zhizhi patted his chest and said, Su Heng walked to her side, looking at Su Li intently.
Su Li heard more or less about him from Wen Ling, knew that he had amnesia, and didn't want to say anything, but heard him ask excitedly: "Madam, I owe you money?" ”
The juggling scenery this morning didn't make him react, but at this moment, he looked at Su Li's eyes and clearly glowed.
He had forgotten what he had done in the capital, and he had never forgotten that he owed someone money.
Zhang Zhizhi watched from the side, and did not feel jealous or jealous, after all, she and Su Heng had no relationship, but they suddenly felt bored.
Su Li was also a little surprised, Su Heng actually remembered this incident, and spread his hands generously: "Childe has a good memory, you do owe me five taels of silver." ”
Su Heng laughed, took out five taels of silver from his purse and put it into Su Li's palm.
Chu Gua watched from the side, and immediately tugged at Su Li's skirt: "Mother, Daddy asked you not to mess with flowers and grass outside, I will sue Daddy when I go home!" ”
Su Li bent down and stuffed the five taels of silver into his small waist bag, and gave him a look that you know and I know: "Hush money, do you want it?" ”
"Yes!"
Chu Gua nodded happily, patted his waist bag proudly, and pulled Su Li again: "Mother, I have money now, I want to buy delicious food for my sister to go back, let's go buy food!" ”
Chu Gua was about to run away as he spoke, but Su Li took him into his arms and slapped his ass: "I haven't said goodbye to Aunt Zhizhi and Su Gongzi yet." ”
Su Li didn't hit hard, Chu Gua spit out his pink tongue, and waved his hand obediently: "Goodbye Aunt Zhizhi, goodbye Su Gongzi!" ”
"Guagua is very skinny now, I'll take him away first."
Su Li said and left with Chu Gua, Su Heng watched them walk out of the garden, and then he retracted his gaze, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, as if he had completed something that had been remembered for a long time.
"Let's go, the play is about to begin."
Zhang Zhizhi reminded that he was the first to walk into the private room, but his heart was empty and not in decline.
After watching the play, it was already dark when he went back, Zhang Zhizhi took a bath and lay on the bed, not wanting to move a finger.
After a while, Wen Ling came to her: "How do you feel today?" Afraid that she would be shy and embarrassed to say, Wen Ling first shared the situation of Zhang Yuntian's inquiry: "Su Heng thinks you are very good, although his family is in Lizhou, but there are no other relatives in the family, if your family affairs are settled, he is willing to go to Beijing to buy a family business, so that you don't have to be too far from home." ”
"Will he marry me?"
"I didn't say it so bluntly, but there was basically no problem."
"Oh."
Zhang Zhizhi responded weakly, Wen Ling saw that she was not very interested, and was a little worried: "What's wrong?" You don't like him? Although he is a few years older than you, he has good character and ability, and his parents are not there, so if you marry him, you don't have to serve your in-laws, which should be excellent. ”
yes, excellent.
"Sister-in-law is right."
Zhang Zhizhi reluctantly smiled and agreed, Wen Ling thought that she couldn't let go of Gu Zhi, so she couldn't help but comfort softly: "Zhizhi, there are too few people in this world who are in love with each other and grow old together, you don't want to be obsessed with one person and miss your own big things." ”
"Sister-in-law, do you think Su Heng has a light in his eyes when he looks at me?" Zhang Zhizhi asked, Wen Ling was speechless, and Zhang Zhizhi's eyes were red: "I want to marry someone, and when he looks at me, there are stars under his eyes." ”
If not, don't let her see the light that accidentally leaked out when he looked at others.
"That'...... Are you going to turn it down? ”
"Sister-in-law, I don't know."
Zhang Zhizhi buried his head in the pillow and cried.
She is not young, her reputation is not very good, and she has no choice, but she is unwilling to ......
Wen Ling had never seen her so fragile, sighed, patted her back and comforted: "If you think about it again, I will discuss with my father and ask him not to force you." ”
Wen Ling sighed and walked out of Zhang Zhizhi's room, and at the same time, Zhao Shi walked into Zhao Hanzhuo's room with a food box.
"Sir, let's have something to eat."
"What is it?"
Zhao Hanzhuo put down the bamboo slip and asked, he burned it for two days, and suddenly lost a lot of weight.
Zhao Shi opened the food box and lied for the first time: "I chatted with the girl from the Zhang family before, and I overheard her say that the porridge in this store is delicious, so I bought a little and came back." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hanzhuo raised his eyes and looked at him: "You have turned a deaf ear to what I said?" ”
"No, I remember the adults said they didn't like her and thought she was noisy."
“……”
Zhao Hanzhuo was so choked that he couldn't speak, took the bowl of porridge and took a sip.
The porridge is thick and soft, and the rice is fragrant, which is indeed much more delicious than what you eat on weekdays.
"By the way, on my way back today, Mrs. Wang on West Street said that she wanted to tell the adults about family affairs."
"Poof!"
Zhao Hanzhuo sprayed directly, but he didn't expect that one day, he would hear this kind of words from Zhao Shi's mouth.
Zhao Shi was sprayed with rice, silently wiped it with a handkerchief, and continued what he just said: "Mrs. Wang said that adults have grown beards at a young age, and they are a little old, if you want to find marriage, it is better to shave." ”
“……”
Zhao Hanzhuo's brows twitched fiercely, but he saw Zhao Shi take out a small cloth bag from his arms: "I helped the adult buy a blade and came back." ”
“……”
Zhao Shi, your family just had a minor illness, you want to turn the sky upside down, right?
