Chapter 20 Zhou Yu, long time no see

"Master Meng really doesn't have to take the matter of scolding me to heart.

I said it last time, and you're right.

I gave the tea and silver, so I don't have to spend money on it. Zhao Yan walked to the door and looked back at him with a smile: "Also, Master Meng is wrong, please call me Jiang Zhao next time." ”

She doesn't like to owe someone anything, even if it's just a pot of tea.

Mencius expected her to sway, standing there for a long time and not coming back to her senses.

Downstairs, the old bustard has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Zhao Yan going downstairs, she hurriedly greeted her: "Young lady, everyone is in the back yard, I'll take you to take a look." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yan bowed slightly.

In the courtyard, there were indeed two rows of women neatly arranged, Yan was thin and fat, each with its own merits.

The only similarity is that the clothes are thin and small, and it is clear at a glance what the posture and posture are.

"Young lady, this row only came yesterday." The old bustard pointed out to her diligently: "No one has picked it yet." ”

Zhao Yan nodded, walked forward slowly, and looked over one by one carelessly.

"Do young ladies and Lord Meng recognize?" The bustard found the right time and asked with a flattering smile.

"It's just the first acquaintance." Zhao Yan raised the fan and picked up a woman's chin to look at it.

"If you get to know each other for the first time, you can be treated like this by Lord Meng, and the young lady must be able to speak in front of Lord Meng." The old bustard said with a smile.

This Mencius period is really too difficult, and when it comes to checking the taxes, he will not let go of a single cent, and he is still a person who does not enter the oil and salt, and he can't give him the silver.

I have to check it out from time to time, and she really has a headache.

If Zhao Yan could help her, it might be much better.

Zhao Yan stopped and glanced at her sideways: "You don't know who I am?" ”

"Yes, I was reckless." The old bustard hurriedly bowed down to make amends.

This aunt and grandmother have always spent money on pastime, and never care about idle things.

I thought I knew each other and could beg her for a word, but I didn't want to touch the nail anyway.

"This, this ......" Zhao Yan raised the fan and pointed at the four women in a row.

"The young lady has ordered everything to come out." The old bustard opened his mouth and beckoned: "The rest of the people should stay away." ”

She stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Young lady, do you want it all?" ”

She was curious, but she didn't dare to ask.

People outside say that Zhao Yan is profligate, but she is actually quite informed.

Every time Zhao Yan came back, she only ate and drank in the wing room, ordered a few little girls to talk with her, and then watched them fiddle with musical instruments, which was really not as ridiculous as it was rumored outside.

However, when I came to her place, I said that Zhao Yan didn't do anything, and the people outside didn't believe it.

Did these skinny horses buy them back to please their husbands? Didn't the rumors say that her husband was useless?

"That's good." Zhao Yan's fingers hooked the chin of a round-faced woman: "The skin is like condensed fat, exquisite." ”

"The young lady has won the prize." The woman saluted and said flatteringly: "The young lady is here, and the villain is a firefly, how can he compete with the young lady's dazzling appearance like the sun?" ”

Zhao Yantuan covered her lips and chuckled: "This one can speak, stay." ”

Although the sycophants are slightly exaggerated, they are better than having a flexible brain, knowing how to fight for opportunities, and their posture is acceptable and usable.

She carefully looked at the remaining three, and chose one with a quiet face and slender legs.

"That's all." She lifted her chin at Xiyu.

Xiyu understood, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Mom, settle the bill." ”

The old bustard was overjoyed, and took them out of the courtyard and went to the counter to settle the bill.

She likes guests like Zhao Yan, who is generous and never bargains.

But she won't ask for the price indiscriminately, and such a guest is reluctant to offend.

"Take away all their clothes." The old bustard took out the bill and the deed of sale, and handed it to Xiyu: "In addition, I also sent a set of noodles by myself." ”

"Thank you, Mom." Thank you for the rain.

"Let's go." Zhao Yan walked out slowly.

Mencius was at the railing upstairs, watching Zhao Yan go out with the maidservants, and his eyes were complicated for a while.

"Girl." Xiyu asked in a low voice: "These two people, will they also be brought back to the Fuguo Mansion?" ”

"Put it in my yard and keep it for the time being." Zhao Yan instructed lightly: "Remember to let them serve more carefully, I will be useful." ”

She has a house of her own in the city.

On weekdays, she occasionally settles there, which can be regarded as a retreat for her.

"Yes." Xiyu bowed his head and turned around to make arrangements.

When I woke up early in September, the sky was gloomy.

When Zhao Yan set off, it was already raining lightly outside.

When passing through the gate, Jiang Huaifu happened to come back from outside with an umbrella, chasing the carriage and scolding her: "Zhao Yan, where are you going?" Dare to cuckold me, I ......"

"Hurry up." Zhao Yan didn't bother to entangle with him, and gave an order to the front.

The whip in Leaf's hand snapped, and the carriage galloped away.

Jiang Huaifu couldn't catch up, so he stood on the side of the road and cursed a few words, which attracted sideways glances from passers-by.

The little ones hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him to go back to the house first.

"I won't let this little slut have a good time!" Jiang Huaifu threw the umbrella in his hand to the ground.

I thought that after staying at home for a few days, the gossip outside would naturally disperse, but I didn't go far before I saw someone pointing at him on the side of the road.

He couldn't stand it for a while, so he turned around and came back, but he happened to bump into Zhao Yan going out, can he not be angry?

He scolded and entered the gate, vowing to clean up Zhao Yan well.

Zhao Peiyuan sat on a large chair and looked at the rain curtain outside.

He was thin and pale, with one leg twisted at a strange angle.

Unlike before, this time there was a light in his eyes.

The carriage slowly drove into the fence yard.

Ye Feng held an umbrella, cherished the rain and helped Zhao Yan down hand in hand.

"Sister." Zhao Peiyuan took the initiative to call.

"It's not easy." Zhao Yan stepped into the threshold, looked at her and chuckled: "I haven't called me so affectionately in a few years." ”

Since the accident, Zhao Peiyuan has been decadent, and even wanted to seek death for a while.

It is indeed not easy to have today.

"I figured it out." Zhao Peiyuan stretched out his hand to hug her, buried his face in her waist, and choked up: "Sister...... These three years...... Sorry ......"

For three years, he hid in this house, not leaving the house, he was afraid, hesitant, and did not dare to face it.

But I never thought about what my sister who had endured everything was suffering outside.

What a bastard!

Ah Ning and Xi Shi both shed tears, and the rest of the people were also a little heavy and relieved.

Only Zhao Yan patted Zhao Peiyuan's shoulder casually: "It's nothing, isn't it getting better and better?" ”

"Sister......" Zhao Peiyuan struggled to kneel for Zhao Yan.

When he thought that his sister married Jiang Huaifu for him and for revenge, he felt so guilty that he couldn't express it.

"Okay, you." Zhao Yan pressed him: "Between us, can we use this?" ”

Zhao Peiyuan covered his face and cried bitterly.

Seeing this, Ah Ning hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

Zhao Yan waved her hand and stopped her: "It's good to cry." ”

Zhao Peiyuan cried for a long time, and his voice went down.

Zhao Yan has already prepared things: "Fu Xuan, let's go and turn the paper money ingots to my mother, and you can also tell her what to do next." ”

Zhao Peiyuan naturally has nothing that he shouldn't have.

On this day, the sister and brother untied the knot in their hearts, and talked at the table at night, and the two ate too much wine before they knew it.

Zhao Yan returned to Zhaoyang Courtyard with vague steps, and when she opened the bed curtain and saw Zhou Yu on the bed, she was stunned for a moment before recognizing it.

"Zhou Yu, long time no see." She muttered to her place on the edge of the bed.
