Chapter Seventy-Nine: It Looks Better
"Hmm." Cheng Zhao was very calm, this woman rarely complimented him when he was in Nihe Village, but he liked to listen to her praise now.
The two of them walked to the dining room. Wu Shun has already made people prepare all the meals.
Su Jin glanced at the things on the table, it was very rich, and the meat and dishes were all cherry blossoms
It's just that she looked at Cheng Zhao next to her again, although she eats good food every day, she finds that Cheng Zhao is still a lot thinner, and Cheng Zhao is less practical at the dinner table several times, but she has a good life these days, and her face is round.
Su Jin glanced at Cheng Zhao up and down, her eyes were a little gloomy, and she said, "Your Highness, let's eat more today."
"Huh?" Cheng Zhao's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and Su Jin smiled and put the dishes in the bowl for him and said, "Your Highness has lost weight."
"Skinny?" Cheng Zhao raised his hand and touched his chin, and said with a smile: "It seems to be a sharp zero."
Su Jin pursed his lips, pointed to the food in his bowl and said, "Then eat more."
Looking at the good food and dishes piled up like a mountain in the bowl, Cheng Zhao was stunned for a while, it was really not easy for the woman in front of him to notice herself. Moreover, does she notice that she has lost weight, does it mean that she has slowly begun to care about herself?
Cheng Zhao suddenly became excited for no reason, looking at Su Jin's eyes were gentle and abnormal, he said, "You and I have lost weight, then eat more." Still, you eat too. ”
Su Jin pinched his cheeks, shook his head and said, "I have to control my appetite, you see, I've gained weight."
"Huh?" Cheng Zhao raised his eyes to look at her, but he usually didn't pay attention to it, but when he looked at it like this, he found that Su Jin's face was a little rounder, maybe the food in the house was much better than when he was in Nihe Village, so Su Jin's delicate cheeks were powdered, and the soft baby fat on his chin was very cute.
Cheng Zhao looked at it for a long time before reaching out and pinching her cheek, and said with a smile: "It looks better when you get fat, eat well, and you are not allowed to control your diet."
"Better?" Su Jin's face turned slightly red, and she was a little embarrassed in an instant, and Cheng Zhao suddenly touched her face, which also made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She reached out and touched her face again, and said uncomfortably, "Really?"
Cheng Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "It's beautiful."
Cheng Zhao's straightforward and frank praise made Su Jin's face even redder, she buried her head and didn't dare to look at Cheng Zhao anymore, her low head hated to go directly to the bowl.
Cheng Zhao chuckled, stopped teasing her, and lowered his head to eat.
Zhang Liwen received a task from the imperial court, and rushed to the translation tube.
He took two of his subordinates to the door of Xia Yulan, the county lord of Yunzhou, knocked on the door, and said, "Xiaguan Zhang Liwen has come to see the county lord."
The door opened, Xia Yulan came out, and smiled when she saw the handsome young man with a white and thin face in front of her.
She had already sent someone to find out, this person was a new branch jinshi in the imperial court, but this jinshi didn't seem to be very favored, and was arranged to enter the Ministry of Rites to make an order.
An order from the Ministry of Rites actually came to receive her Yunzhou County Lord. Although she came to Beijing this time, her father told her before leaving that the capital was not Yunzhou and she should not mess around.
But when the county lord of Yunzhou came here, the imperial court only sent an order from the Ministry of Rites to entertain her, which still made her a little angry.
So, okay, since the court treats me like this, I can't be angry, so it's okay for a Ministry of Etiquette order to let her be angry.
Xia Yulan made up her mind to embarrass the Ministry of Rites sent by the court, so she immediately smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be Lord Zhang?"
Xia Yulan stretched out her hand and helped Zhang Liwen, "Please get up." ”
The young man's fingers were white and warm, Xia Yulan was stunned, and she didn't react for a moment to let go.
Zhang Liwen glanced at her, quietly pulled out the hand she was holding and said: "The county lord is polite, the county lord came from afar, and the lower official was appointed by the imperial court to receive the county lord." If the county lord has any needs, even if he commands, the lower officials will definitely help the county lord arrange it properly. ”
Xia Yulan pulled her mouth twice, so a good person who behaves properly, does not leak a drop of water and has a warm temperament.
Xia Yulan smiled: "That's annoying Lord Zhang."
"Huh?" Zhang Liwen was stunned, "Does the county lord need anything?" Xia Guan immediately arranged it for the county lord. ”
Xia Yulan chuckled: "I just want to go to the capital for a walk, can Master Zhang want to accompany me?"
Zhang Liwen should go down, and it was his duty to accompany the envoy to Beijing, so he did not shirk it.
"Let's go, then." Xia Yulan saw that he agreed, and somehow, she was very happy in her heart.
Xia Yulan's identity was there, and Zhang Liwen didn't dare not be confused.
So, first, Zhang Liwen accompanied Xia Yulan to visit the capital for a while.
Xia Yulan is delicate by nature, and she is never stingy when she buys things, so except for a few people in her entourage, even Zhang Liwen is a little staggered.
Seeing that the sun had already set, it was estimated that it would be evening when he returned to the translation hall, and there was no accident on the road, Zhang Liwen grabbed Xia Yulan and prepared to jump around in Dongzhang's hope, and suggested: "County Lord, the hour is late, the next official will send you back to the translation hall."
Xia Yulan turned her face back, lowered her eyes and saw that Zhang Liwen's white and slender knuckles were pulling her sleeves, and she smiled faintly: "Lord Zhang is tired?"
Zhang Liwen withdrew his hand and said: "The county lord is outside, and it is almost late, it is unavoidable, the county lord should go back to the translation hall with the lower officials."
Xia Yulan chuckled, grabbed his hand and said, "Lord Zhang is going to be tired, and the county lord will go back with you." If you don't get tired......"
Zhang Liwen looked at her and stomped her hand, exhaled in his heart, took a deep breath, and secretly thought that this county lord really didn't accept the rumors, and he tossed people enough in the first place.
He endured what he thought in his heart, exerted his strength slightly, pulled out his hand, and said, "Thank you for your forgiveness, the lower official...... Xia Guan is tired. ”
Xia Yulan smiled, of course she didn't ignore the impatience on Zhang Liwen's face. I felt that this person was very interesting, and I couldn't help but think about teasing, and said with a smile: "Since Master Zhang is tired, then...... Just go back. ”
As soon as Zhang Liwen was about to raise his hand, Xia Yulan approached him and said, "Lord Zhang is tired, do you want this county lord to find someone to carry you."
Zhang Liwen's face instantly turned innocent, his lips trembled, and he took a breath and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the county lord, the lower official can still leave."
"Oh" The expression on Xia Yulan's face seemed to be very disappointed, but her eyes lit up, and she fell crooked on Zhang Liwen: "Lord Zhang, the county lord is tired and can't go."
So, this is to find someone to carry her?
Zhang Liwen's head was big, and he looked at the golden and precious woman leaning on his arms, and he wanted to be angry.
He took a breath, straightened Xia Yulan's body, and said, "Don't worry, the county lord will arrange for a sedan chair to come over immediately, and the county lord will wait a while."
Xia Yulan snickered lightly, "Then it will bother Master Zhang." ”
Zhang Liwen waved his hand and called the attendant to give a few words, and soon the attendant arranged a sedan chair to come over.
"The county lord, please get on the sedan chair." Zhang Liwen stood beside Xia Yulan and said.
Xia Yulan smiled, "Lord Zhang was also quite tired just now, otherwise how about Lord Zhang sitting with the county lord?"
Zhang Liwen was stunned, sitting together? I don't know what this woman is going to do
Zhang Liwen waved his hand: "The county lord is polite, the lower officials can still go, the county lord can get on the sedan chair."
If he didn't come up, Xia Yulan didn't do it, she said: "Could it be that Lord Zhang is to protect the county lord in the capital at any time?"
Zhang Liwen didn't understand her brain circuit, why did he get involved in guarding her when he didn't get on the sedan chair?
