Chapter 299: About the Patriarchal General

p> As soon as the food was served on the table, Wu Zhan came back, and as soon as he entered the house, he happened to meet Hu Man coming out of the kitchen.

Hu Man paused, put his hands around his waist, buried his face in his arms, and wanted to sleep comfortably, she has been here for less than a year, but she has experienced too much, so much that this man who appeared in her life for a short time has been integrated into the blood and bones, and cannot be separated, this is the first big year with him, and all the years to come will be with him.

"Miss, why don't you ......" Ye Zhi pushed the door, and as soon as she said half a sentence, she found the two people hugging each other at the kitchen door, and suddenly her face turned embarrassed, and she turned around and went back to the backyard.

Hu Man coughed lightly and pushed him away: "Wash your hands and eat, Wu Yuan is also here." ”

Wu Zhan snorted: "I called him here." ”

Hu Man waited for him to go to the kitchen to wash his hands and go to the backyard together, Wu Yuan was reading a book full of words, which was recorded by Hu Man, the more he looked at it, the more interesting he felt, he didn't see Wu Zhan come in, and said busily: "Sister-in-law, you wrote this?" ”

Hu Man glanced over: "Hmm." ”

"It's funny." Wu Yuan flipped a few more pages: "I always knew that my sister-in-law's brain was wonderful, but I didn't expect to be so outstanding in writing!" ”

Hu Man shrugged: "It's going to be a story for children, and it's also idle to write." "Actually, I wrote some fairy tales, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to remember them when the time came, so I remembered one anyway and wrote it down.

"This can be printed in a book."

Hu Man hurriedly shook his head: "No, I just use it myself, I don't want to get anything else." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Wu Zhan and shook his head slightly.

Wu Zhan probably knew that this should not have been written by herself, so she walked over and took the notebook in Wu Yuan's hand: "Okay, let's eat, it's almost time." ”

Although there are few people, but they are also happy, although Ye Zhi has been eating with her since she followed Hu Man, but this is the first time she has been at the main table during the Chinese New Year, and she also raised her glass, who rarely drinks: "I respect Miss first, thank you Miss for your tolerance and care for me, Ye Zhi has not done much for you, but Miss has made me understand a lot, Ye Zhi will remember it for the rest of my life!" "Raise your head and drink it all.

Hu Man picked up the white water: "How come?" With you, I don't have to worry a lot, and in the new year, if you continue to stay here, we will take care of each other, if you ...... If you get married, then I wish you happiness in advance. ”

"Thank you, miss." Ye Zhi's eyes were slightly red, and she poured another glass: "Wu Gongzi, this cup is for you, not for anything else, just because Wu Gongzi is a man I admire, I hope that Wu Gongzi and Miss Wu can always be happy and smooth." ”

Wu Zhan raised his glass: "I've worked hard for you this time." ”

After Ye Zhi finished drinking, she poured a glass and turned to Wu Yuan: "I haven't had much contact with you, so I wish you a happy New Year and prosperous official luck." ”

Wu Yuan smiled and raised his glass to drink: "Thank you, Tongle." ”

After eating a few bites, Yezhi got up to cook dumplings, and Hu Man was still a little sad: "I'm used to having her around, I'm afraid it won't be long before I get married!" ”

"Huh?" Wu Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Zhao Yuan and her?" So fast? ”

Hu Man ate a mouthful of food: "It should be soon, seeing that Zhao Yuan is very dissatisfied with his current life, it is a matter of time before he takes a concubine." ”

"After all, she is a big girl, and she can't follow her sister-in-law for a lifetime, and it's useless to be sad." Wu Yuan said: "However, you can find another one, after all, it is still necessary to be protected by someone around you." ”

"Say it again! I'm nostalgic for the old days, and I'm afraid I'll not get used to others. ”

When Yezhi cooked the dumplings and ate some alone, just when the time came, Hu Man got up: "Happy New Year!" Let's go and put the fire together! ”

This custom is still in some places in modern times, put a pile of firewood and light it, which means that the new year will be prosperous and burn away all the bad luck.

After tossing this set, Hu Man was also sleepy, she still rarely stayed up late for so long, and went to the room to take out the gift that had been prepared: "Wu Yuan, this is what your brother and I gave you." ”

Wu Yuan opened it at the moment of curiosity, it was a painting, and as soon as it was unfolded, he was immediately amazed: "This is...... Li Qiao's landscapes? ”

Hu Man nodded: "I have found someone to identify it, it is absolutely authentic!" If you're interested in these, it's perfect for you. ”

Wu Yuan looked at it carefully, and his joy could not be hidden: "I like it, I like it very much, thank you sister-in-law, it's really expensive!" It's inconvenient to bring a gift for my sister-in-law, so I'll ask my family to send it tomorrow. ”

Sending Wu Yuan away, Hu Man gave Ye Zhi a small box: "Ye Zhi, yours!" ”

"Do I have it too?" Ye Zhi took it and saw that it was a very beautiful hosta, and at first glance, she knew that it was worth a lot of money: "Miss, this is too valuable." ”

"The relationship between us is not an ordinary master and servant, are you still polite to me?" Hu Man put it on for her personally: "There is less time to dance knives and guns, it's okay to dress up properly, they are all girls to be married." ”

Ye Zhi didn't shirk it any more: "Thank you, Miss." ”

Tossed up to now, Hu Man is also sleepy, she hasn't stayed up late for a long time, yawned: ", rest down!" More tomorrow! ”

Nothing to say, Hu Man woke up late the next day, Wu Zhan quietly got up and didn't alarm her, today is the first day of the New Year, you can not go to the morning court, he changed into the new clothes that Hu Man bought for him, washed and went out.

When Hu Man woke up, it was already dawn, she opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Wu Zhan beside the bed, Wu Zhan first leaned up and kissed her on the forehead: "Enough sleep?" ”

Hu Man rubbed his eyes and didn't think about it: "Why did you get up so early?" ”

Wu Zhan smiled slightly: "I'm going to get something." ”

"Huh? What is it? ”

Wu Zhan turned sideways: "See? ”

Hu Man looked forward, and then noticed that such a big guy appeared in the room at some point, and suddenly said in surprise: "You did it?" ”

Wu Zhan took her hand and helped her up: "Well, I'll do it when I have time, I just finished work yesterday, and I'll give it to you in the New Year." ”

Hu Man got up and looked up and down, this is the crib she told Wu Zhan, and she also drew a picture for him, originally said that it was going to be sent to the carpenter shop to make it, but I didn't expect him to make it quietly!

This wooden bed was very attentive to the martial arts, and it was already covered with yellow paint, and the side of the fence above could really be put down, and the height of the lower it was just the same as their bed, which could be connected to their big bed.

There is a small grunt below, there is a bracket on the top of the bed, according to Hu Man, this can be hung with mosquito nets, in short, it is very beautiful and practical, it is just the same as what she has seen in modern times, and the wood is better!

"Awesome!" Hu Manxi smiled: "It is absolutely suitable for children to sleep in this!" You're so skillful. ”

Wu Zhan hugged her from behind: "This is for you, and it's for our children!" Didn't you say that you have a lot of things that your kids can use and play with? As long as I can do it, you can just say it, I want our children to have the happiest and richest life. ”

Hu Man smiled sweetly: "Okay! ”

"Alright." Wu Zhan pinched her nose: "Go change your clothes and wash up, eat something and go out to pay New Year's greetings." ”

Hu Man changed his clothes: "Whose house are you going to?" ”

Wu Zhan groaned: "I can take the time to go by myself with the prince and the right minister, you don't have to toss with it, but the Yuan Mansion, the Su Mansion and the Zhao Mansion, you have to go together." ”

Hu Man has no objections, the Zhao Mansion has already agreed, needless to say, the relationship between the remaining two families has helped them a lot, and now there is no use of it, but the person who the two want to make friends with their hearts.

Cooked some of the dumplings left over from yesterday, and the three of them went to the Yuan Mansion first with gifts, the Yuan Mansion this year was the first thought of the death of the veteran general, and there was not even a lantern hanging at the door, and there were no couplets, it looked like a huge house, and it was indeed a little deserted.

After entering the Yuan Mansion, Yuan'an also happened to have breakfast, and he looked good, and saw the two of them greeting with a smile: "Have you eaten?" ”

"After eating, come to pay a New Year's greeting to the general."

Hu Man rubbed his hands: "Happy New Year, all the best!" Are there any red envelopes? ”

Yuan An smiled: "There are no red envelopes, but there are gifts, but there is no martial arts." ”

"What kind of gift does he want from a big man!" Hu Man looked forward to it: "What is mine?" The prince of the world must not be ordinary, right? ”

It's a pity that Yuan An still sold it to her: "Unfortunately, I also sent someone to send it to you early in the morning, I want to know what it is, so let's go back and see it myself!" ”

"Then thank you in advance." Hu Man sat down and took a sip of tea: "That's right... Did the prince go to the Su family? ”

Yuan An smiled thoughtfully: "What do you say?" ”

"That's right, let's go together!"

"That's it." Yuan An got up: "I don't have much time to talk to you, I have to go to the palace to see the emperor and queen, come back as early as possible, and go to Manxiangju for lunch." ”

Only then did Hu Man remember that the emperor could be regarded as his cousin! Naturally, he wanted to go to the elders to pay New Year's greetings, so Wu Zhan got up: "Well, then the general should go early and return early!" Let's go first. ”

"Wait a minute!" Yuan An stopped the two: "I'm going to leave in a few days, and I have something to explain to you." ”

Wu Zhan sat down again, his face serious: "General, please explain." ”

Yuan An also put away his smile: "I have some eyebrows about the things I have investigated recently, but now I have to leave, you have to continue to investigate on my behalf." ”

Wu Zhan Yirin: "Yes... About the senator generals? ”

Yuan An sighed lightly: "Yes! But now there is no evidence, I also know that the prince has looked for you, and you now belong to one of his factions on the surface, but Wu Zhan, I believe in you, I believe in your character, and I believe that you will not betray me! That's why I'm leaving it to you, help me find out, whether the person who killed my grandfather has anything to do with the prince! ”

"With all due respect, can you tell me any clues that the general knows?"

Yuan An closed his eyes: "I don't know, do you remember those people who chased and killed me when I was in Qingtang County?" ”
