After lunch, Zhu Yunxuan took the child back to the house for an afternoon nap, Liang Zhen went back to the front yard, and called the woman surnamed Qin to come over for questioning.
"Did Madam go out in the morning?"
The woman replied respectfully: "No, I just took the young master around the mansion, came to the front to have a look and then went back."
Liang Zhen's thoughts changed, and he continued to ask: "Then who came to the house this morning?"
"Only Brother Ren came to bring some tea. He happened to meet Madam and asked him what he was doing. I told Madam that he came from Beijing with you, Major General. of."
Hearing this, Liang Zhen's expression paused, and he curled his lips into a smile: "So that's it... okay, I see, you can go to work."
When Zhu Yunxuan woke up, Liang Zhen was leaning beside him and reading a book, smelling the faint scent of tea on Liang Zhen's body, Zhu Yunxuan was in a daze for a moment, and opened his eyes.
Liang Zhen was lowering his head, looking at each other, Zhu Yunxuan was startled, closed his eyes, and sat up avoiding his gaze: "Why are you here?"
Liang Zhen walked over to the table and poured a cup of hot water, and handed it to Zhu Yunxuan: "Moisturize your throat."
Zhu Yunxuan took the water glass, took a sip, then looked up at Liang Zhen who was smiling in front of him, and asked hesitantly, "You... are you still using the old Yunwu tea for fumigation?"
"Yeah, I'm used to this taste. The tea produced on the island doesn't smell as good as this one. In fact, I've always liked Yunwu tea more, and I bought it through those Nanyang people and Dayan merchants."
As Liang Zhen spoke, he sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned over, looked straight into Zhu Yunxuan's eyes, and murmured with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am very affectionate. Tea is like this, and so are people."
Zhu Yunxuan was stunned for a moment, then looked away: "... I don't know what to say."
Liang Zhen laughed lightly, and accepted it as soon as he saw it, without teasing him any more.
When Min'er also woke up, and it was Shen's time, the family of three packed up and went out.
The place Liang Zhen took them to today was the tea garden on the island. The tea garden is located on the west side of the island, covering a vast area. There are patches of tea-green terraced fields, all over the mountains and plains. There are women and children busy working everywhere in the garden. It is a prosperous and prosperous scene.
Hearing that Liang Zhen was coming, the steward of the tea garden immediately brought people to greet him, and the young gentleman named Ren Ge'er was also among them. Liang Zhen casually told the steward: "Don't be too busy, we can go in and walk around by ourselves, and we don't need to send anyone to follow."
"No," the steward smiled flatteringly, "Brother Ren sent the freshly dried tea to the General's Mansion this morning. It was dried using a new method. The major general thinks it's okay after using it?"
The young man who was named took a hesitant step forward, lowering his head and not daring to look at Liang Zhen. Liang Zhen smiled, and said to the manager, "I haven't tried the one delivered in the morning, let's talk about it later."
The young man blushed, and said: "The major general said last time... that he wanted to drink this kind of drink. The little one specially made it for the sun..."
"Okay, you have a heart, go to work."
After finishing speaking in a few words, Liang Zhen picked up Mu'er and led Zhu Yunxuan into the tea garden. When passing by, Zhu Yunxuan caught a glimpse of the benevolent brother's dazed look, and couldn't help frowning.
Walking into the tea room walkway, Chu'er looked around with eyes full of novelty, and insisted on going down by herself. Liang Zhen put the person down on the ground, the child ran and jumped happily, but Zhu Yunxuan, who was following behind, was absent-minded until the delicate tea leaves caressed his cheek, Zhu Yunxuan subconsciously turned his head, and Liang Zhen held it in his hand. The leaves that he picked off at the time were looking at him with a smile in his eyes.
"What is His Majesty thinking?"
Zhu Yunxuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "What are you doing?"
Liang Zhen threw away the leaves in his hand, crossed his arms, and smiled with a hint of playfulness and teasing: "Why has Your Majesty been in such a distraught state since he entered this tea garden just now?"
After a moment of silence, Zhu Yunxuan lowered his eyes and sneered slightly: "Liang Zhen, you know all about it, do you have to be so interesting?"
Liang Zhen smiled nonchalantly and said, "Your Majesty is a high-ranking emperor, would he care about such a small person?"
Zhu Yunxuan's eyes turned cold. What he cared about was not the identity of the other party, but Liang Zhen's attitude. Just because he was just an inconspicuous little person, Liang Zhen brought him here from the capital all the way. Because that person's appearance is somewhat similar to his own, it makes him feel like a thorn in his throat.
But when Liang Zhen asked it himself, he couldn't say it. After all... the relationship between them, whether it was before or now, he didn't seem to care about it.
Seeing that Zhu Yunxuan remained silent, the cynical smile on the corner of Liang Zhen's mouth faded away, and he regained his seriousness. He held Zhu Yunxuan's hand and explained to him seriously: "Your Majesty will mind if there are other people around me, which proves that His Majesty has a heart With me, I am very happy, but His Majesty has indeed misunderstood, and things are not what His Majesty thought."
"That little man was an actor that Liang's family dedicated to King Xian and forced it on me. Those people just took a fancy to him for being a bit like His Majesty, and they had dirty thoughts. I couldn't do it at all. Touch him, tell someone to send him to Zhuangzi to be a handyman, and then forget about it."
"Later, a close friend of mine, you met, was the man who went to the pier to pick you up that day. His family had a younger brother who was kidnapped by Huazi when he was two or three years old. He was actually that brother Ren. After the two brothers recognized each other, they took him back home. I left Beijing for Nanyang three years ago, and the two of them came together. It was not my intention, but that brother Ren had no other support in Beijing, only this A big brother, I can't separate their brothers again."
"That brother Ren lost his health because of the ups and downs he lived in when he was a child, so he couldn't enter the military camp. My subordinate asked me to come here, so I asked someone to arrange for him to work in the tea garden. He would occasionally come to the general's mansion to deliver tea. I only met him a few times, and I didn't say a few words in total, but this is why His Majesty put it on the record, Your Majesty really wronged me."
In the end, Liang Zhen was wronged, knowing that he had made a joke, Zhu Yunxuan was a little embarrassed, withdrew his hand, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up: "...you are blind so you can't feel it, people secretly admire you Major General."
"So what, this general is suave and elegant, with a beautiful tree facing the wind, and there are countless people who admire him. Even His Majesty is fond of me, let alone those ordinary people."
Zhu Yunxuan: "..."
Zhu Yunxuan was speechless, Min'er who ran to play in front turned back, holding a bright yellow flower that he picked from nowhere, and handed it to him: "Give it to Daddy."
Zhu Yunxuan touched his head with a smile, took the flower, Liang Zhen bent down to pick him up, and lifted him up to sit on his shoulders.
Caught off guard, the child was startled, and then screamed and laughed loudly. After sitting firmly, he hugged Liang Zhen's neck tightly and looked around. The novel perspective surprised him: "It's so tall~"
Zhu Yunxuan originally wanted to ask Liang Zhen to put him down, but seeing that the father and son looked very excited, he turned the words around and swallowed them... that's all.
Walking all the way along the tea garden, it turned to the seaside again.
In a blink of an eye, the sunset has come, and the sky is full of red clouds covering the sea. They sat down on the beach and were attracted by the magnificent sunset in front of them. In his arms, his eyes widened and he stared intently.
The fishing boat that went out to sea in the morning has already returned and stopped at the pier not far away. The women and children rushed up and happily unloaded basket after basket of seafood from the boat. Liang Zhen turned sideways suddenly, and asked Zhu Yunxuan with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you want to eat grilled fish?"
Zhu Yunxuan nodded casually, and Min'er clapped her hands and shouted: "I want to eat a big crab!"
"Okay," Liang Zhen smiled and pinched his son's little nose, "I have everything I want to eat."
A cluster of fires rose by the sea, and the smell of grilled fish gradually wafted away. The big crab that I wanted to eat was buried in the sand under the charcoal fire, and it was quickly roasted to golden brown. It was a child as young as Li'er who was greedy, even Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help but eat more.
Liang Zhen also asked someone to bring wine, which is a kind of tea tree flower wine brewed on the island itself, sweet and mellow, very attractive. After a sip of food and a sip of wine, Zhu Yunxuan's eyes were already drunk, and the drunkenness spread between his brows and eyes. He removed the emperor's demeanor that he always carried, and became extraordinarily real and moving. Liang Zhen kept looking at him with a smile, Zhu Yunxuan was extremely uncomfortable being stared at by him, patted his face lightly, and muttered softly: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, just thinking that three years have passed, and His Majesty is still too weak to drink."
"what's so funny… "
The full-fledged Min'er slipped into Zhu Yunxuan's arms and fell asleep peacefully. Zhu Yunxuan held the child and shook it lightly. After a while, she slowly closed her eyes and leaned on Liang Zhen's shoulder.
Liang Zhen turned his head and rubbed his hair with his cheek: "Is Your Majesty drunk?"
Zhu Yunxuan still closed her eyes, leaning against him as if raving: "No..."
That means being drunk, Liang Zhen sighed lightly: "Has Your Majesty not been drunk for a long time?"
"Well... don't remember, I'm not that easy to get drunk, I've never been drunk in the past few years, never..."
In fact, there was. When he saw Liang Zhen again in Quanzhou, he was so uncomfortable that he could only get himself drunk, but he didn't want to say it again.
What Liang Zhen remembers is that Zhu Yunxuan drank too much at the state banquet that year, and took a few more glances at the foreign girls performing dances. He was so jealous that he lost his mind and forced Zhu Yunxuan to stab him to humiliate him. Unbearable tattoos, Zhu Yunxuan has never been drunk in front of him since then, never again.
Now Zhu Yunxuan let go of his guard in front of him once again, letting himself indulge in fine wine, does it mean... He really doesn't care about the wrong things he did back then
Lowering his head, he pressed a light kiss on Zhu Yunxuan's forehead. Liang Zhen raised his hand to hold his lost and recovered treasure tightly, and murmured in a low voice: "I will drink with you as much as your majesty wants in the future... I will drink with your majesty." .”
