Chapter 249: Becoming an Official
When Zhao Wuwu left, he grew a little taller, and his facial features also grew a little. The skin tone is slightly darker, not as white as before, but not dark either. Laughing so much that his eyes were crooked, and his dimples were deeper.
This child is a little less youthful, even if he has a bright smile, he can see a little more man's toughness.
Grown up again!
Zhao Wu saw Xu Lanyin looking at him in a daze, and said with a smile, "Could it be that I am handsome again, so handsome that I don't even know my sister anymore?" β
Xu Lanting and Zhao Xingchen on the side hurriedly said, "Sister (aunt), he is Brother Zhao (my father), we all recognize it." β
Xu Lanyin tried her best to resist the urge to pluck his ears, and complained duplicitously, "You still know how to come back, what did you tell me at the beginning?" I said that I would be back in two months at least and at most in the next year, but now it's the end of March. Do you know that we are in a hurry to wait, afraid that you will never come back......"
Speaking of the back, the voice is a little choked.
Zhao Wushang took two steps forward, wanting to pull her sleeve like the original, but he felt too naΓ―ve, so he clenched his fists and held back. said, "Sister, I broke my promise, I'm sorry, I really encountered some accidents and delayed my return." Sister, don't be angry, sister is angry, brother, I feel bad......"
Xu Lanyin laughed and said, "Your mouth has always been so sweet, when have I ever been really angry with you?" Your house has already been cleaned up, go back and wash and change your clothes. β
Zhao Wu winked at Xu Lanyin with a smile, which means that I knew that my sister would not be really angry with me. He turned around and told Ding Gu what kind of feed the horse ate, then took off the two packages from the horse's back, and walked into the weeping flower gate with Xu Lanyin and a few others.
Xu Lanyin opened the door of the West Chamber, and asked Aunt Qian to boil hot water for him to bathe, while she went to her own room, took out the clothes and shoes she had made for him and put them in the West Chamber, and went to the kitchen to cook lunch.
She wanted to know Zhao Wu's trip to the Western Xia Kingdom, and she also wanted to see him a few more times. But the two little beans wrapped him tightly, and some things were not easy to say, so he had to wait until after dinner to ask alone.
There is a lot of beef and mutton in the west, Xu Lan didn't cook these two dishes at noon, so she was going to make white fresh chicken, sweet and sour fish, garlic sprouts back to the pot meat, and then fry a rape tip, boiled bean sprouts, and cook a mushroom chicken soup.
When she was busy in the kitchen with Aunt Yang and Aunt Qian, Zhao Wu, who was wearing new clothes after washing, led Xu Lanting and Zhao Xingchen to the kitchen, and the two little beans each held a horn with copper patterns in their hands.
The bamboo leaf green robe on Zhao Wu's body fits very well, and his wet black hair is draped behind him. Maybe just after taking a bath, the skin is white and red, the eyes are still a little moist, the thin lips are red and bright, and the whole person is shrouded in the golden glow of the sun...... It looks warm and casual, and it actually has a kind of fairy temperament.
Immortal ...... This word is the first time Xu Lanyin has used it on Zhao Wu's body, at least at this moment, it is more appropriate.
Xu Lanyin looked at him several times and said with a smile, "I thought you would grow taller, so the clothes and shoes I made were longer and relaxed." β
Zhao Wu said with a smile, "Sister's hands have always been so skillful, and the clothes fit very well." β
These words made Xu Lanyin blush. Her needlework, only Zhao Wukua, and she praised it so unrealistically. However, anyone likes to listen to good things, and since Zhao Wuyi came back, Xu Lanyin's mood was as happy and cheerful as the waves in the mountain stream.
Zhao Wuben wanted to go into the kitchen and follow Xu Lanyin as before, but there were too many people, so he could only stand at the door and talk to Xu Lanyin. His gaze moved with Xu Lanyin's movements, even when he was answering Xiao Douding's words, his eyes were looking at Xu Lanyin.
Aunt Yang and Aunt Qian glanced at each other, and seemed to be a little clear.
Xu Lanyin asked some irrelevant questions, such as whether the food and accommodation on the road were good, whether they were injured, whether it was smooth, and so on.
The two little beans reported on the major events in the family, the eldest brother (eldest uncle) passed the county exam, how the tea house was doing well, how several kinds of chess were popular, how they and their families cried when they heard that he was dead, and so on.
When the meal is ready, it's noon, and the food is brought to the living room.
Zhao Wuwei smelled every dish and said with a smile, "It's so fragrant." When I was in the west, I felt pain when I saw those meals, and I especially missed my sister and the food my sister cooked. Especially when I was so hungry that I swallowed my saliva with my thoughts. β
Xu Lan was in great pain, so she sandwiched some of each dish for him, piled his bowl on the spot, and said, "Eat quickly, I'll cook for you in the evening." Then he casually asked, "Have you saved the people you saved?" β
Zhao Wuzheng put a piece of chicken in his mouth, and when he heard this, he put the chicken back in the bowl, looked at Xu Lanyin, and then at Xu Lanting, and then said, "Well, I rescued it." β
Seeing that he didn't answer this question for the first time, Xu Lanyin thought that the case was not over and that the matter would have to be kept secret, and said, "If it is confidential, I didn't ask." β
Zhao Wu smiled and asked again, "What about my aunt, is she still in her hometown?" β
Xu Lanyin said, "Lan Zhou is going to take the martial arts test, and my mother will accompany him back to his hometown." Then he asked, "After you finish your errand, will you go back to Nanping County to continue your errand, or will you be transferred?" β
Zhao Wu said, "Old Lady Zhou originally wanted me to stay in the capital, saying that it was okay to join the army, or to go to the Criminal Department or Jingzhao Mansion." I don't want to stay in the capital yet, so I asked to come to Fujian as an errand boy. My order to serve as an inspector has been issued, and I will return to Nanping County in a few days to complete the formalities and come here on an errand. Mrs. Zhou also said that when all the big cases are settled, there will be a reward. β
Hearing that Zhao Wu was an official and was still an official in the provincial capital, Xu Lanting and Zhao Xingchen laughed.
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "When you go back, I'll go back too, and it's time to move my home and shop." β
Zhao Wu looked at Xu Lanyin, stopped talking, and nodded. He didn't know how to tell her and Aunt Xu about that, and Uncle Xu didn't let him say it. He also said that he would go back to his wife to confess his crimes......
He looked at Zhao Xingchen and said with a smile, "Before leaving the capital, Lord Chai and Commander Chai asked me to meet. I didn't expect it to be so coincidental. Actually, actually...... Commander Chai also said that I have good skills, and if I am willing to go to the Royal Forest Army on an errand, he will help...... I also refused. β
I really didn't expect that Zhao Xingchen was actually the grandson of Commander Chai and the great-grandson of the eldest princess of Nanyang. When he was in the capital, he also knew Chai Jun, but he didn't know each other.
After eating, Xu Lanting and Zhao Xingchen still wanted to play with Zhao Wu, but Xu Lanyin didn't agree, so she sent them to take a lunch break. They set their eyes on Zhao Wu again, hoping that he could help intercede.
Zhao Wu waved his hand and smiled, "Don't look at me, I have to listen to my sister too." β
The two little beans had to go to sleep.
Xu Lanyin and Zhao Wu continued to talk secretly in the upper room.
The two sat at the table, there were no outsiders, Zhao Wudu looked at Xu Lanyin with a blink, looking unscrupulous.
Ren Xu Lanyin was also blushing because she was an old skin, and said angrily, "What kind of eyes are you, have you seen enough?" β
