"Third sister, I have an urgent trip now, and I'll talk about something when I come back!" When Zhao Yan heard the voice of Princess Shoukang behind him, he felt a little weak at that time, and even had a feeling that he didn't dare to see her, and he wanted to slip away when he lied, but he didn't expect that before he could open his legs, the clothes behind him were tight, but Princess Shoukang grabbed him.

"Third brother, since I saw you this morning, I felt that you were avoiding me, did you do something sorry for me?" Although Princess Shoukang is usually very arrogant, it doesn't mean that she is stupid, sometimes she is just lazy to think too much, but now Zhao Yan's appearance makes her very dissatisfied.

"Three...... Third sister, how can I avoid you, you must have thought too much, I am really in a hurry now! Zhao Yan turned around helplessly and said with a forced smile, and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away after speaking.

However, Princess Shoukang stepped forward to stop him and sneered: "Third brother, I won't say much nonsense, the last time you went to Xixia, forget it, why did you suddenly bring Cao Song with you, and he is not an official of the imperial court?" ”

Seeing Princess Shoukang blocking the way, Zhao Yan sighed in his heart, it seems that he can't go today, so he had to answer honestly: "Third sister, although Cao Song is not an official, but a businessman, this time I went to Xixia and happened to know that there was a chance to make a fortune, Cao Song is my good brother, this kind of good thing naturally can't be cheap to others, so I notified him, but he was also very interested after hearing it, and took someone to Xixia with me, and now V ⊥ hasn't been able to come back." ”

"Oh? Is it? After listening to Zhao Yan's explanation, Princess Shoukang looked at him with a suspicious gaze, obviously not believing Zhao Yan's explanation.

"Third sister, is it necessary for me to lie to you about this kind of thing, and Cao Song is a big living person, if it weren't for his own willingness, I wouldn't have been able to forcibly tie him up to Xixia, right?" Zhao Yan opened his mouth again at this time to explain. And he said these things with great confidence, because what he said was not a lie.

Seeing the expression on Zhao Yan's face, Princess Shoukang couldn't help but believe a little, in fact, she had been thinking about it all this time, when Master Huining broke off her marriage, the secret words she gave pointed to Cao Song. Originally, she didn't take it very seriously, but Zhao Yan suddenly brought Cao Song to Xixia, as if she was guarding against something, which made her immediately suspect Zhao Yan's purpose, and even thought of Cao Song many times for this, and even she didn't know what was going on.

"Cao Song, when will he come back, he is not in my shop, pù began to lose money again." Princess Shoukang asked again at this time, but the reason she chose made people want to laugh, not to mention whether Princess Shoukang's shop pù lost money. Even if she really loses money, with her character, I'm afraid she won't care too much.

"This ......" Zhao Yan was a little embarrassed when he heard Princess Shoukang's question, because he didn't know when Cao Song would come back, although the war on the Western Xia side had ended, the army had not withdrawn, and the Western Xia had just experienced a war and was in the process of rebuilding, which also made the bank promising. So Cao Song needs to stay there and sit down, at least when he leaves Xingqing Mansion. Cao Song has no plans to come back.

"What, Cao Song won't come back, right?" Princess Shoukang asked again with a sinking face at this time.

"Why don't you come back, it's just that Cao Song is busy with a very important matter now, and it is the beginning of this kind of thing on the Xixia side, and Cao Song needs to be in charge himself, so he may have to stay there for a while longer. I don't really know when I'll be back. Zhao Yan finally spread his hands out.

Hearing that Zhao Yan didn't know when Cao Song would come back, a look of disappointment flashed on Shoukang's face, and he didn't ask Cao Song anything more at the moment, but chatted with Zhao Yan casually. Then he turned and left.

In the next few days, Zhao Yan has been closing the door, staying at home with Cao Ying and them, taking their two daughters for a walk in the garden, or taking them to the Bianhe River to fish, don't look at him at home as if he doesn't have to do anything, but as long as he is there, then the people in the family are like having the backbone, Cao Ying and Xue Ning'er have more smiles on their faces, and they are usually in the mood to accompany Cao Ying to play mahjong to kill time.

However, Zhao Yan can't stay at home forever, there are still many things outside that he needs to deal with, such as military schools, colleges and elementary schools, and even the Ordnance Superintendent also sent people to Zhao Yan, saying that there is a troublesome matter that he wants him to deal with, these are Zhao Yan's own jobs, so he can only give himself a few days off to relax.

With peace of mind at home with Cao Ying and them for a few days, Zhao Yan finally began to recover his usual life, taking part of his time to work during the day, and spending most of the remaining time with his family, this state of life will make people feel very fulfilling, after all, if he stays at home every day and has nothing to do, he is afraid that he will slowly become a waste, so he needs to find something to do for himself every day, of course, when he wants to rest, these things can also be temporarily put aside.

Zhao Yan's first stop was to go to Gewu College, which was established the latest, but if it is a real influence, it is far greater than a military academy, after all, a country cannot last long by relying on the military alone, and Gewu College can provide a strong driving force to promote the development of a country, which is the foundation of a country's long-term peace and stability.

Although the few months since Zhao Yan left are a bit long, but for a college, it is only a semester time, and the whole college has not changed much, the professors and lecturers in the school have increased some, these are all newly recruited by Shen Kuo during this time, and it is almost summer, so Shen Kuo and they are also preparing for this year's enrollment, compared with last year, this year's enrollment will increase a little, but it is also not very much, after all, the teachers of the college are really a little unable to keep up, And it's not something that can change in a day or two.

Zhao Yan stayed in the school for a long time, and lectured two classes by the way, after all, he hadn't lectured for a long time, and as a result, the students who came to listen to the lecture almost crowded the lecture hall, among them, in addition to the regular students of the college, most of them were students who came to take classes, and they all wanted to take advantage of this time to learn more, and fortunately, they became official students of the college in one fell swoop when they enrolled students this year.

Compared with the lively and lively Gewu Academy, the military academy across the Qingshui River from the academy is much stricter, the military academy sent all the students to the battlefield before, those students of the first class have officially entered the army as generals, Zhao Yan also issued them graduation certificates, naturally will not come back, but those students of the second and third have already returned, they left the Western Xia as soon as the war in the Western Xia ended, came back earlier than Zhao Yan, and took a few days off after coming back, Normal teaching has now resumed.

In addition, during the period when Zhao Yan left, Zhang Zai presided over the recruitment of a group of freshmen, these new students had just entered the military academy, and they were very curious about the military academy, but after they saw the cruel training of those senior brothers, they were all scared, these people were still selected from the army, but when they came to the military academy, they found that they used to be in the army for three days, one small training, five days and one training was nothing.

"Brother Huaiyu, how are you preparing?" In the end, Zhao Yan, Yang Huaiyu, and Zhang Zai came to the school of the military academy, and asked Yang Huaiyu while watching the training of the cadets on the field.

"King of the county, I'm a little reluctant!" Yang Huaiyu looked at the training cadets in front of him, and said with a look of affection. He has always dreamed of entering the army to make meritorious contributions, but because of the suppression of military generals by civilian officials, he has been treated coldly, but this time the cadets of the military academy have repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the battlefield, and his father Yang Wenguang has made a contribution to destroying the country, coupled with Zhao Yan's activities, Zhao Shu finally agreed to transfer Yang Huaiyu to the army, as for the affairs of the military academy, Yang Wenguang who retired from the army took over, speaking of which, the reason why those civilian officials agreed to let Yang Huaiyu enter the army, Yang Wenguang's retirement from the army is also one of the conditions, After all, if a veteran who has made the contribution of destroying the country is still in the army, it really makes them feel uneasy.

"It's normal for Brother Huaiyu to be reluctant, if there was no Brother Huaiyu, there would be no military academy, let alone today." At this time, Zhang Zai also sighed and said, in the past two years, he and Yang Huaiyu have cooperated very happily, and the cooperation is also very tacit, and now Yang Huaiyu is leaving, which makes him very reluctant.

"Brother Huaiyu doesn't have to be too sad, after you enter the military academy and make meritorious contributions, it will also be a good thing for our military academy, and when you are old, you can also return to the military academy like General Yang, the door of the military academy will always be open for you!" Zhao Yan also patted Yang Huaiyu on the shoulder and said, Yang Huaiyu is not only a fierce general, but also calm enough, even Yang Wenguang praised his son as a general, plus he is so young, so if he only stays in the military academy to teach students, it is really a bit condescending.

"Thank you Jun Wang, Yang will definitely not disgrace our military academy!" Yang Huaiyu also said with a firm face at this time, the cadets of the military academy can make a lot of meritorious deeds after they go out, and he, the chief instructor, naturally cannot lose to his own students when he enters the army.

After chatting about Yang Huaiyu leaving the military academy, Zhao Yan asked about the recent situation of the military academy again, and the other three also talked about Yang Wenguang's return from Xixia to take over the military academy, speaking of which Yang Wenguang is estimated to come back in the second half of this year, after all, Xixia is initially decided, and he is still needed to be a veteran over there, and it is estimated that Zhao Ji will also come back together.

After dealing with the affairs of the military academy, Zhao Yan finally thought of the troublesome matter on the side of the ordnance superintendent, and immediately took a carriage to the ordnance superintendent, but just came to the door of the ordnance superintendent, but found that there was a large group of people surrounding the door of the ordnance superintendent, which was usually very quiet, and it seemed that they were shouting something?
