Chapter 280: Shoulder to Shoulder

Time passed quietly little by little, the roof had stopped the wind and rain, and the house was quiet and good.

Sitting on the side of Zhou Dan's desk, Xiao Wu checked the various reception matters, Zhou Dan buried his head in writing something, and both of them were silent.

Just like when they were in the Zhou Gong Palace, one was dealing with official documents, and the other was quietly reading a book, this feeling of companionship and dependence made both of them seem to go back to the past.

Quiet and beautiful!

If they hadn't often looked up at each other and saw their changed faces, they didn't feel the slightest feeling, and they had been stolen from three years of good time.

"Grandpa, dinner is ready"

"You send it in"

"Yes!"

Hearing Junbao's voice, Xiao Wu picked up his black mask, but Zhou Dan grabbed his hand and shook his head to stop it.

Junbao is not surprised at all, why the grandfather, who has always eaten very simple, would extravagantly order ten dishes and send them to the temporary study of the VIP mansion.

Junbao guessed that the grandfather would not return to his mansion tonight, and before going upstairs, he had arranged for the guards to return to the mansion and get a change of clothes for the grandfather.

Where there is Xiao Wu, in the eyes of the grandfather, there will never be anyone else.

"Alas, over the years, my grandfather has suffered, and so has Xiao Wu."

Junbao lamented in his heart, Grandpa and Xiao Wu are really like golden boys and girls, but both of them have suffered all kinds of pain, Grandpa doesn't seem to have laughed in the past three years, this time the two get together, I'm afraid it won't be too long, I hope they can have a good reunion.

The more Junbao thought about it, the more sad he felt for Zhou Dan.

Carrying two large food boxes into the house, Junbao saw Xiao Wu without a mask, and was stunned for a moment, before, the two of them pretended not to know each other, but now they can't avoid it.

Xiao Wu kept pulling the broken hair in front of her forehead with her hand, trying to block the slave mark on her forehead, which became a knot in her heart, which could be covered with a mask, and she didn't feel anything, but when she faced outsiders directly, she still felt embarrassed and ashamed.

Junbao deliberately didn't look at Xiao Wu, lowered his head and put the food box next to the tea case, took the tea set on the case, panicked, and actually touched Xiao Wu's hand who wanted to help, both of them trembled as if they were electrocuted, and they were stunned.

Zhou Dan glanced at it, and didn't know how to be a good two, so he began to silently put the dishes in the two food boxes on the tea table.

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, and took the lead in greeting, "Junbao!".

Junbao's mind was very messy, his mouth was open for a long time, and he squeezed out a few words, "Well, no, it's okay...... It's fine, let's eat well."

After Junbao finished speaking, he gave Zhou Dan a chaotic salute and left in a hurry like a thief.

Facing the little girl he bought back with his own hands, seeing her being killed, he led someone to build a tomb and a monument for her in person, and saw Xiao Wu, who was reborn after the catastrophe, he couldn't help but feel sad and panicked.

Seeing Junbao's red eyes, Zhou Dan forgot to glance at his back, and felt sad in his heart.

Zhou Dan stuffed a bowl full of dishes, including favorite bamboo shoots, mountain mushrooms, and marine fish that are not often eaten, and things that have never been eaten.

Zhou Dan basically didn't eat himself, and he kept persuading.

It wasn't until Xiao Wu had a bitter face, looked at the mountains of meat and fish in the bowl, and looked at himself pitifully, that Zhou Dan stopped with an embarrassed smile.

Knowing Zhou Dan's heart, Xiao Wu also tried to eat as much as possible, and she really had a round belly.

As soon as dinner was removed, the red pomegranate and the dim sum made of pomegranate were sent up by Junbao again, and Zhou Dan was still persuading, "Xiao Wu, this ...... You must love to eat".

Sigh at the food.

Xiao Wu is really heartless, dragging his face with his hands, pouting, and his coquettish voice is lazy and disgusting, "Brother Dan, are you going to support Xiao Wu to death?"

Zhou Dan was stunned.

Xiao Wu has never been so coquettish to herself, she has really grown up, and she knows that she should cherish the moment, just like herself, she still wants to be with her, but she doesn't want to put pressure on her to scare her away.

Zhou Dan looked pity, scratched Xiao Wu's nose, and said dotingly: "No, Brother Dan...... I can't help it".

After dinner, the two drank tea for a while, and Zhou Dan took Xiao Wu to review the work schedule.

Grandpa has to do so many things!?

In addition to reception and security, Zhou Dan, as the king's envoy, also had to negotiate with each visiting vassal state in many aspects, and finally, he had to organize the twenty-three princes together to seek common ground while reserving differences, take the big righteousness and go to the small profit of the consultation, and finally reached a statement that could be unanimously recognized by many parties.

There are too many, there are so many things, I'm afraid it's hard for my grandfather to sleep these few nights.

Xiao Wu saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.

Xiao Wu really couldn't help, seeing that the window was white, she couldn't help but persuade Zhou Dan, who was already tired, "Brother Dan, it's almost dawn, you can sleep, the effect will be better, just a little while, okay?" 2020

Looking up at Xiao Wu's expectant eyes, Zhou Dan didn't want her to worry, so he nodded: "Okay! I'll sleep here, Xiao Wu will accompany me, half an hour later...... Call me, go to the court".

"Good!"

Xiao Wu happily agreed, asked Junbao to take a quilt and a headrest, and secretly handed Junbao a bamboo stick with the words "Leave for the Father-in-law".

Seeing the grandfather snuggling up to Xiao Wu, closing his eyes and falling asleep, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, Junbao really didn't want to disturb, the grandfather had a rare good dream, and he made up his mind that the grandfather would be blamed after waking up, and he would do what Xiao Wu wanted.

fell asleep next to Xiao Wu, Zhou Dan still held her hand, he was afraid that if he fell asleep, Xiao Wu would leave again.

Tucked the quilt for Zhou Dan, and seeing that he had fallen asleep, Xiao Wu began to study the itinerary and the situation again.

When Zhou Dan woke up, he saw Xiao Wu sitting beside him, still looking through the information on the case, and the sun had shone into the room, brightening the room.

After being stunned for a while, Zhou Dan suddenly understood in his heart that Xiao Wu must have made the decision for himself, not only was he not angry, but he was also very moved in his heart, Xiao Wu was distressed and cared about himself.

Zhou Dan shook his head with a smile, no wonder Xiao Wu made Brother Wang angry, she was really bold, she dared to do anything, in Brother Wang's words, she was just restless and always a moth.

But he just likes such a real and simple little dance.

Looking at a young girl dressed in men's clothes, with an elegant and refined face, her smooth face and neck, shining with alluring brilliance in the sunlight shining in from the window, Zhou Dan was stunned.

Feeling Zhou Dan's hot gaze, Xiao Wu turned her head and said with shame: "Brother Dan, I ......."

Zhou Dan pressed a finger on Xiao Wu's lips, because he had just woken up, his slightly hoarse voice was full of magnetism.

"Got it, Brother Dan...... Understood"

Lying beside Xiao Wu, his two hands clasped tightly, Zhou Dan closed his eyes again, and he quietly enjoyed a rare good time.

How nice it would be if you did this all your life!

From Xiao Wu's words, Zhou Dan has already caught that she only pretends to be her master in her heart, it is the master who asks her to do what a man should do, it is the master who makes her better, and the master's words have become the motivation for Xiao Wu's efforts, and even become her obsession.

She still can't tolerate others in her heart.

At best, in Xiao Wu's heart, she is a friend, or she is really regarded as an older brother, but whenever she behaves out of line, she will be scared away.

Thinking of this, Zhou Dan's heart was filled with sadness again.

Xiao Wu glanced at it, hugged the quilt and lay lazily on the couch, looking directly at his Zhou Dan, compared to yesterday's precarious seat, the majestic prince, it was like two people, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Wu's smile, in Zhou Dan's eyes, it was really brighter and warmer than the midsummer sun.

Seeing that Zhou Dan had no intention of getting up, Xiao Wu tucked the quilt for him, knowing that he still had a lot to do, so he simply talked about his thoughts first.

"Brother Dan, according to what I have learned, I thought about it carefully and felt that ...... Since it is the first meeting, the links are ...... It should be up to us to establish. ”

"Hmm"

"There are many princes in the Quartet, presumably ...... Such a council...... It will be held regularly in the future, so for the first time, the rules will be set...... It is crucial because later ...... It is not easy to make major changes, otherwise, there will be a suspicion of neglect. ”

Zhou Dan nodded, "That's right!"

Xiao Wu cleared her throat, "Council...... It is very important, but the ministers such as Brother Dan, Zhaogong, and Daxingren...... and even the king...... There's still a lot to do, and it's all iron...... How many nails can be twisted? The energy is over-occupied, which is not very good, and besides, it is too laborious and costly."

"So what?"

Zhou Dan's eyes lit up and he sat up, he didn't expect that Xiao Wu would find something he had overlooked.

Glancing at Zhou Dan and pulling the quilt to cover his lap, Xiao Wu continued: "So, I think the council should be simplified...... The schedule will be the king...... All receptions prior to the meeting...... In order to ensure safety, it is necessary to reduce as much as possible the number of times that dignitaries of all ethnic groups go out of the palace, and I believe that the reception and negotiation of the royal palace will be held in the welcome hall of the royal residence, and the king will appoint ministers according to the previous request of each clan...... Negotiate accordingly, and in case they are lonely, they can recruit dance, juggling and other entertainment to perform in the VIP residence."

Zhou Dan sincerely appreciated it and also raised his own questions, "The idea is very good, but all ethnic groups have come all the way and want to meet the most...... Is it the king?".

was facing the light of last week's admiring eyes, which was already as hot as fire, and Xiao Wu was busy dodging away.

After stabilizing his mind, Xiao Wu said again: "Brother Dan, if you think about it, the problems can be solved, and they may not be ...... I have to meet the king, I want to meet ...... It's just a comparison with each other, a glorious face."

To put it bluntly, it made Zhou Dan laugh.

Xiao Wu also smiled, "Hundreds of princes, in order to fulfill their face, and the reputation of the so-called close allies...... And those who are tired of reception, work hard and lose money, and are not cost-effective, can achieve the same purpose...... No, it's fine. Let's just talk about the king...... If the original plan is followed, I think the king will not only be ...... I'm afraid I've lost it, I'm afraid it's ...... Meals ...... included It's going to be lost."

In Xiao Wu's heart, he has always been angry that Zhou Jue, the king of Zhou, branded himself as a slave, and killed himself with his life, thanks to his life. Although he sent himself to the special training camp, the anger in his heart still did not disappear.

In front of Zhou Dan, who he trusted, Xiao Wu didn't hold the conversation for a while, and she was addicted.

Seeing that Xiao Wu spoke and disrespected the king, Zhou Dan deliberately straightened his face, "Xiao Wu!
