Along the way, although it is said that there is Zhang Chao's protection, as a girl, it is indeed very tiring. But Bai Tong, who has super perseverance, still started to get busy after entering the city. After following Zhang Chao for too long, she knows very well how some things should be placed to make the second son happy.

Without pretending to her, Bai Tong was so busy without tiredness, until a woman in red appeared next to her, still as if she hadn't been checked.

Bai Tong didn't speak, but the woman took the initiative to say hello, "You are Bai Tong's sister." ”

Suddenly, someone called his sister, Bai Tong hurriedly turned his head and looked at the other party with curious eyes, and saw Cai Yan with the same curiosity, but with obvious kindness. "Ah, you can be Sister Yan."

"Sister Tong, it's really you. It's just how do you know who I am? Cai Yan asked curiously, this was indeed the first time the two of them met. If you can recognize each other just by their appearance, it's hard to say about the past.

"Hehe, Sister Yan never forget, but you are following Tie Wei by your side. Except for Sister Yan'er, how could the second son let the already small number of iron guards be closely protected. Bai Tong covered his mouth and smiled.

"My sister is really smart." This is Bai Tong's first impression and feeling to Cai Yan, just from the appearance of the iron guard, you can see his identity, which in itself proves his intelligence. It's just that when I think about it the other way around, the people who can stay by Zhang Chao's side for a long time are afraid that they can't last so long if they are not smart.

Although the two women met for the first time, they had heard of each other for a long time, and they had thought about how to contact each other countless times after meeting, so when the two really came together, the relationship quickly became harmonious. Everyone wants to let each other go, and it will be much easier to get along with each other with courtesy.

When Cai Yan looked at Bai Tong obviously with a look of fatigue, but was still in charge of some things, she took the initiative to share the burden. To say that she is a very aura woman, many things can be learned as soon as they are learned, and it didn't take long for her to follow Bai Tong to command, and the work of one person and two people did it, and the efficiency naturally improved a lot.

It wasn't until Zhang Chao returned to the state pastor's mansion from Ding Qi that the things had been basically cleaned up. In front of the gate, there were brocade guards and began to stand guard, and everything seemed to be on the right track.

"It's fast." Seeing that the courtyard was quiet again, Zhang Chao smiled and said to the iron guard who came to greet him.

"Yes, my lord, this is all the credit of the cooperation between the eldest lady and the second lady." Witnessed everything the Iron Guard said.

"Oh? Yan'er also came out to help. After Zhang Chao heard this, his face was overjoyed. After thinking for a while, he said: "In this way, notify the other side, I will go to the eldest lady for dinner in the evening, and by the way, I will visit the great scribe Cai." ”

"No." After hearing the arrangements for the evening, the four guards turned around and went to do it. Zhang Chao turned around and walked towards his inner courtyard.

In the inner courtyard, Bai Tong was holding a basin of water and a clean towel wiping the bed.

Originally, this kind of work should have been done by those maids, but there was everything about Zhang Chao, Bai Tong really didn't worry about protending to others, so he did it himself.

When the tender white little hand was wiping the bed more clean with a towel in his hand, Bai Tong felt a tightness in his waist, and then his body was light, and the whole person was picked up.

"Ah, second son, hurry up and let me go, I'm very heavy." Bai Tong smelled the breath coming from Zhang Chao behind him, and said with a blushing face.

"Haha, your weight is not related to Shen at all." Zhang Chao said with a smile, and then found a chair to sit down, and then put Bai Tong on his legs.

Falling into Zhang Chao's arms, Bai Tong looked satisfied. "Second son, you are tired, the slave family will press your shoulder."

"No, I'm a man, I don't feel anything about doing anything. But you, why do you have to work hard all the way and be busy at home? Why don't you take care of your body like this, and tell you that I will be very sad if you can't serve me because of your health. Zhang Chao pretended to have a straight face and said angrily.

Hearing Zhang Chao say that he couldn't wait, Bai Tong hurriedly explained, "Second son, my side is very good, and Doctor Hua gave me a pulse." ”

"Okay, what Hua Tuo said is useless, you have to listen to me. So you will sleep now, and you will sleep on my bed. Zhang Chao spoke, and without saying anything, he hugged Bai Tong to the bed, and then carefully covered him with a quilt, "I can't sleep until dawn tomorrow, you know?" ”

"Hmm." Seeing Zhang Chao carefully tucking the corners of the quilt for himself, Bai Tong's moved eyes were a little red.

It's just that Bai Tong is really tired, and he doesn't feel anything if he doesn't lie down, but now he is really sleepy, and he closed his eyes after a while, and his breathing became stable.

Seeing that Bai Tong was asleep, Zhang Chao tiptoed out of the bedroom, and then said to the maid who was waiting outside: "Who wants to disturb Tong'er, at night, if she wakes up, serve her food, and then let her continue to sleep, remember, this is my order." ”

"Yes." The two maids hurriedly agreed.

After arranging everything, Zhang Chao tidied up his clothes, and then walked in the direction where Cai Yan lived in the house.

The state mansion is very large, and there are as many as eight in the front yard and back yard. As a result, Cai Yan and his parents lived here temporarily. Of course, this is all temporary, once the newly built Cai Mansion is ready, Cai Yong will take his wife and little daughter to live there.

On this night, Cai Yong was indeed very lively here. First Zhang Miao came, they were old friends, and now they finally have the opportunity to meet, so naturally they have a lot to say. What's more, about the marriage of Zhang Chao and Cai Yan, the two of them have to make decisions to discuss.

In this way, in the main hall, the sound of Cai Yong and Zhang Miao talking loudly can be heard from time to time. However, in the corridor outside the door, Cai Yan was looking forward to it, and it was the main entrance of the courtyard as far as his eyes could see.

She had already heard Tie Wei say that Zhang Chao was going to come here for dinner tonight, and as the future lady, of course she was going to wait here. And she herself really wants to stay with Zhang Chao for a while.

"It's coming, it's coming." A maid in a pink dress came running from afar.

As soon as he heard that Zhang Chao was coming, Cai Yan hurriedly tidied up the clothes on his body, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he looked at the main entrance, expecting the person to appear waiting.

At about ten breaths, Zhang Chao, who was dressed in white, entered Cai Yan's sight.

At this time, Zhang Chao was wearing a snow-white straight-placket robe, with an excellent drape of clothes, and a wide belt with moon-white auspicious cloud patterns at his waist. There is only a piece of ink jade with excellent jade quality hanging on it, and the shape seems rough but simple and gloomy. The black hair was tied with a silver ribbon at will, without a crown or hairpin, and a few strands of hair on the forehead were scattered by the wind, intertwined with the silver ribbon and flying, looking quite light.

Behind Zhang Chao was followed by Xu Chu, the captain of the guard who was on duty today, and eight black-clad iron guards with eagle black feathers on their heads.

The appearance of nine tough guys made Zhang Chao feel more like he stood out from the crowd, and gave him an elegant halo.

At this time, Zhang Chao is coming forward with a smile, that smile is a confident smile from the bottom of his heart, and a sincere smile that can infect others.

As soon as Zhang Chao appeared, Cai Yan couldn't wait to greet him. It's just that when the distance is really close, she does stand there again and show a sense of shyness.

"Haha, Yan'er. Wait for me here. Seeing Cai Yan come out so quickly, Zhang Chao smiled and stepped forward, and as soon as he reached out and hugged him in his arms.

Being on the first floor like this, Cai Yan suddenly felt that her whole body became soft, if it weren't for the fact that her father was in a room not far away, I am afraid that she would not even have the strength to stand up and walk now.

"Zhang Lang, my father and uncle are waiting for us inside." Speaking of courage, Cai Yan broke away from Zhang Chao's arms, and then bowed his head and said.

"Well, then I'm going to visit my father-in-law." Zhang Chao was still smiling, and then strode towards the room inside.

In the room, Cai Yong and Zhang Miao were chatting, and suddenly heard someone outside say that the general was coming, so the two smiled and glanced at each other, but neither of them had any intention of getting up.

Cai Yong is older than Zhang Chao, and he is his future father-in-law, so he naturally has great qualifications. As for Zhang Miao, as Zhang Chao's brother, there is no need to get up, which makes everyone uncomfortable.

The door was pushed open, and Zhang Chao, dressed in white, walked in. Seeing Cai Yong head-on, he lowered his head and hugged his fists and said, "Say hello to Lord Taishan." ”

"Haha, okay, okay, let's get up quickly." Cai Yong smiled and stroked his beard, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Zhang Chao got up when he heard the sound, and after seeing Zhang Miao, he arched his hand again, bowed down and said, "Chao greets my brother." ”

"Hehe, when we two brothers meet every day, we don't need so much etiquette. Come, Zhiyuan, sit down. Zhang Miao also showed a very satisfied smile. Although his brother became a general and became the governor of a state, he still respected himself as much as before, which made him very happy.

Someone had already prepared the dishes and chopsticks, just waiting for Zhang Chao to take a seat, and then they were served.

On such a formal occasion, women were not allowed to serve at that time, Cai Yan and her mother Liu could only be busy in the back, especially Cai Yan was staring at every dish on the table, and even had to taste the saltiness before being allowed to serve it. At least Cai Yan has not done this to his father Cai Yong before.
