Chapter 141: Side-Knocking
The date of marriage is getting closer and closer, and the whole Zhuangzi suddenly takes action.
All the pigs, cattle and sheep brought from other places were kept in captivity and served with good food and drink, ready to be killed a few days before the wedding.
In order to make Zhongli Yu unique when she got married, Zhongli even found a few smart and clever people on Zhuangzi, secretly called them aside, and began to train them to conduct sketches or cross talk that she saw and heard in her previous life, because of her secret operation, this matter is becoming more and more expected.
Zhao Yiyan recently stayed in the Zhong family's Zhuangzi every day through Zhong Liyu's marriage, and ate and lived with Zhong Li every day, which was extremely satisfying.
Moreover, the more he touched, the more complicated his feelings about Zhongli became.
This man was simply beyond his knowledge.
In particular, now he is pulling a few children and sitting in the study to tell them stories.
The story tells the story of a monkey who jumped out of a stone in the past, went all the way to the mountains to learn skills from people in order to learn skills, and then brained the story of the heavenly palace. He couldn't believe his ears, and from Zhongli's mouth, he seemed to be able to see the hairy monkey appearing in front of him.
The vivid narration made several children listen attentively, but the time to tell was only half an hour, Zhongli took a sip of water and looked at everyone.
"So the story of the monkey tells us that if you want to learn good skills, if you want to learn good things, you must make up your mind, not afraid of hardship, not afraid of tiredness, you know?"
Zhong Lijue nodded quickly and raised his hand.
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid. Today I'm going to write ten big characters! ”
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
……
The words of the children scrambled to make Zhongli laugh, and he stretched out his hand to point at them, and everyone rushed out quickly, ready to go to their special study and start studying.
"You know how to take care of kids! And you're good to them. ”
Zhao Yiyan watched a few children bouncing out and couldn't help but speak.
"It's the first time I've found out that raising a child is not easy. But I think most people will just hire a teacher for their children, forget it, right? ”
Zhongli shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, a smile on his face.
"I can't help it! Our family is poor! ”
Now that she and Zhao Yiyan are getting along, they are less awkward than before, but more calm.
I probably feel that the identity between the two people has changed, so I have become more unscrupulous!
Even if Zhao Yiyan is in a bad mood now, he can't help but laugh when he hears this, not to mention, with Zhongli, he will only feel comfortable.
If you say this, you will probably be hated! It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire border city is the richest man! ”
Zhongli pouted, looked at Zhao Yiyan a little helplessly, and shook his head gently.
"Although I was quite rich because of the glass factory before. But that's right now! Now I am just a landlord, and I have to pay so much tax every year, and the money that can really fall into my hands is only a little. ”
At the mention of this, Zhao Yiyan couldn't help frowning and looking at Zhongli, asking tentatively.
"So why sell? As I said back then, I can help. ”
He stared at Zhongli with a pair of dark eyes, and he still remembered the appearance of the two of them when they met for the first time.
The little man, ragged, appeared in front of him, his face covered in black.
He can be regarded as watching Zhongli come to the present step by step, how long has it taken to achieve a height that others can hardly match in their lives, but unfortunately, everything fell apart after the decision he made.
"Help? What can I help with, even if I can ask you for help once or twice, what about later? Although everyone values agriculture and suppresses business, those who are in high positions and power still don't want to play with each other for some bit of silver? Instead of dragging you into this muddy water, you might as well just throw it at them! Even if you're the prince, so what? Those people are princes after all! ”
Zhao Yiyan only felt hot in his heart at this time, and he was a little suffocated and uncomfortable.
At that time, he was still angry that Zhongli didn't know what to do, and he had already condescended to come over to help her, but he ruthlessly refused, but now that he thinks about it, it is completely a joke.
Seeing that the man suddenly fell silent, Zhongli couldn't help but raise his eyes and look over, and saw Zhao Yiyan looking at her with a touched face, and there seemed to be a flash of water in his eyes.
He couldn't help but touch his head, did he just say something?
Doesn't seem to have anything?
"That, is there something wrong with Big Brother? Why don't you call the doctor to come and have a look? ”
Zhao Yiyan took a deep breath, shook his head, forcibly suppressed the fierce emotions surging in his heart just now, looked at Zhongli with burning eyes, and slowly shook his head.
"You know one thing, you don't know the other. Since my great-grandfather accompanied the emperor to conquer this country, he was named the prince, holding a heavy fist, although from generation to generation, the power in our hands has been exploited a lot, and it has also caused the emperor's jealousy. But there are some things they don't dare to do too much, and it's all because of ......"
"Do you have hole cards in your hand?"
Zhongli couldn't help but widen his eyes and spoke with a shiny gaze.
Zhao Yiyan exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air and nodded gently.
"Yes!"
Zhongli nodded, and after thinking about things from top to bottom, he finally understood why after General Shen's accident back then, even if Zhao Yiyan was jealous of the emperor, he could still hold a heavy army here, and even had a fief.
He still remembered that the last time there was an attack from other places, the military rations on it were delayed, and it was also because he wanted to force Zhao Yiyan to show all his strength, right?
Emperor, what a cruelty!
"So, even if you didn't hand in those things in the first place, I can keep you safe. I was negligent on my part, but rest assured, I won't let the tragedy happen again! ”
Zhongli nodded with some emotion, although he ironed in his heart, he couldn't agree on his face.
After all, their identities are a ticking time bomb, even if he has hole cards in his hand, so what? At that time, General Shen was beheaded all over the house on charges of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. As long as this hat is installed, the emperor can directly take off Zhao Yiyan's head, and if he refuses to accept it, then send troops to attack.
The division is famous, so it is natural to drive straight in.
Zhongli couldn't help but shudder fiercely.
He doesn't know now whether he did it right or wrong to selfishly pull Zhao Yiyan because he wanted to protect himself!
However, he took a deep breath and turned to look at Zhao Yiyan.
"Big brother, the day of my eldest brother's marriage is approaching. What about the big brother? Ever wondered when you get married? Once born and twice cooked, with this example, I will be able to give my eldest brother Zhang Luo Zhang Luo when the time comes! ”
Zhao Yiyan can understand very well who these two big brothers are called.
However, he originally thought that he could just stay by Zhongli's side, but now it seems that things are far from being as simple as he imagined.
He has indeed reached the age of marriage, but what about Zhongli?
In two years, will he also marry a beautiful lady and hide in the room?
In two years, he should have a child under Chenghuan's knees, right?
When the time comes, the family will be harmonious, sweet and sweet, and what about themselves? Do you really want to stay by his side so hard and watch him be happy?
Willingly?
The little monster hidden in his heart jumped out and seduced the dirty and despicable thoughts that he had been hiding deep in his heart all along.
Zhao Yiyan slowly clenched his fingers and shook his head at Zhongli with difficulty, trying to soften his expression at this time.
"No, nothing?"
It's nothing? What is the answer to this?
Zhongli blinked, just watching the man rush to fill the water with the teacup as if he was running away, but he still spoke earnestly.
"I always think of the worst. So I think it's better for the eldest brother to get married and have a child as soon as possible. In case if the last ......"
Zhao Yiyan's heart was a little better, Zhongli was not urging himself, but caring about him.
That's enough!
"It's okay, the emperor has become more and more jealous of me over the years! You may not know that the military rations of the imperial court have not been sent to the border cities for about a year! But the enemy country has been committing crimes year after year, and he is forcing me to disarm and weaken my strength. But none of this is important, the important problem is that I am not sad that the city is lost, but the people in the border cities are displaced every year and leave their homes every year. Those who do not want to leave their homeland are either plundered and treated as slaves, or become dead souls under the sword. How can this be reconciled? ”
Zhongli had seen that kind of scene strewn across the field, and he closed his eyes, thinking of the people who had greeted him back in Barn City before, the people who tightened their belts to give them money and gifts when the snow and plague were rampant before, the people who cheered after his return, and the people who were willing to give their belongings to celebrate the marriage of their eldest brother before they had just done a little bit of effort.
Women are all sensual.
Even if he looks no different from a man on the surface, he can't avoid what is in his bones.
He closed his eyes with red eyes, and waited until the emotions stirring in his heart slowly eased before he opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Yiyan, slowly got up, took out two books from the bookshelf behind him, and handed them to Zhao Yiyan.
"Big brother, I have benefited a lot from your care before. That's a little bit of my heart for you. ”
Zhao Yiyan took it with some suspicion, but when he saw the words on it, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Zhongli.
Is this a sign of trusting yourself?
But he ......
The man took the two thread-bound books in his hand and spoke with some embarrassment.
"That, in fact, I've read this art of war."
Huh?
Zhong Li couldn't help but look at Zhao Yiyan curiously, and saw him touching his nose, avoiding his gaze, staring at the art of war book in his hand with some embarrassment, and couldn't help but think of the things he had given Zhong Liyue before, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Peek?
