Huo Luo lay down all the way back to Beirong, and lay down for another month before getting out of bed. Gradually, he felt that most of his body had recovered. If he hadn't been riding and fighting for a long time, he wouldn't have felt any difference. But if you are too tired, you will be out of breath, and your physical strength is somewhat worse than before. He wrote down the account carefully.
He told Tugu Khan in detail about the geographical conditions along the way and the affluence of the Southern Dynasty, and strongly suggested that the southern expedition should be taken for himself by these incompetent Han people.
Tugu Khan knew that Huo Luo was young and energetic, so thinking about things was unavoidably too simple. Now I have not completely wiped out the northern border, and it is still too early to expand to the south. But if the northern border is pacified, sooner or later they will have to go south. The hundreds of thousands of cavalry under his command are not in vain, are they not in vain to support them? But right now, he still accepts the covenant made by the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, agrees to Huo Luo's strong request, and at the invitation of the prince, asks the emperor of the Southern Dynasty to marry the fourth princess for Huo Luo. Of course, the season is not right now, and this will have to wait for the next year.
-------------------------------------------------- --
When Shen Wen went to the room in the courtyard again, there was a big tank in the room. While Shen Wen was wondering, Zhang Yunzheng let her into the secret room. All the desks in the secret room were removed, and it became a large square table with a pot of brick-red soil next to it. Zhang Yunzheng pointed to the soil and said, "This is the clay I prepared. From today onwards, you can use this clay to build your maze."
Shen Wen was a little unconfident: "Some places, um, are not easy to handle."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "You tell me, and I'll do it. If you can't make it with mud, others can't build it with bricks and stones. Once you're done, I'll draw it."
Shen Wen asked: "Do you know how to draw?"
Zhang Yunzheng half-closed his eyes: "I don't dare to say yes, but if I draw a pen and compare it with yours, people will think that the one next to mine is a drawing of a pig."
Shen Wen glared at Zhang Yunzheng angrily: "Are you provoking again?"
Zhang Yunzheng snorted: "What's wrong with the provocation? Come on, let's do it. I also have a small adjustable mold here, tell me the size of the stone."
Shen Wen was overjoyed: "Great! I told my second brother to go quarrying. The size is..."
Zhang Yunzheng adjusted the mold according to the proportions, filled the clay, and knocked it out again. It was a mud block, and Shen Wen immediately used it to build the wall. While Zhang Yunzheng was demolding, Shen Wen built the walls of the Lost City. Where there was no mud, Shen Wen had to knead it into a shape with clay and put it on. The two cooperated very well, but Zhang Yunzheng often had to say a few bad words: "If you make that piece of mud flatter, it's chubby, and it doesn't match anything else!" "Look! The corners of this wall are not sharp. Already!"...
Shen Wen couldn't bear it anymore: "Don't you still have to draw? Don't you just draw straight? Do you know that people like you will be called obsessive-compulsive disorder in later generations."
Zhang Yunzheng glared at Shen Wen: "That's at least upright! It's better than your crooked way!"
Shen Wen has now begun to ignore Zhang Yunzheng's attacks on him, forget it, seriousness is a good quality, and it can save himself a lot of trouble.
The two of them made models, and the time passed quickly. Shen Wen felt that only a while later, the fourth watch drum outside sounded. Shen Wen is leaving. Zhang Yunzheng said: "Wait." He took her to the outside room, pointed to a basin and said, "Wash your hands clean." He also pointed to a small brush beside him. Shen Wen knew that this was the last time he said that dirty nails should not be seen by others, Zhang Yunzheng remembered it, so he washed his hands well and brushed his nails. After wiping it with a towel beside the shelf, Zhang Yunzheng said, "Let me see."
Shen Wen deeply felt that Zhang Yunzheng was too serious, so he stretched out his hands in front of him and said, "Look, it's very clean!"
Zhang Yunzheng saw Shen Wen's hands were white and tender, his fingers were like bamboo shoots, and there were several shallow dimples on the back of his hands, he frowned and whispered, "Pig trotters!"
Shen Wen withdrew his hand and said to Zhang Yunzheng: "You bastard!" Just as he was about to go out, he turned around and said: "I can't come every day, I come once every three days." Then he ran away.
Zhang Yunzheng returned to the secret room, made another pile of small clay sticks, then closed the door of the secret room, and went to sleep in the next bedroom.
He got up very late the next day, and returned to Pingyuanhou Mansion after lunch.
After that, Shen Wen came every three days. Zhang Yunzheng made a lot of mud strips in advance. When Shen Wen came, he built the wall. The progress was very fast, and the masonry structure of the Lost City was built in just over a month.
Then, there is the detail design. There are several caves for hiding soldiers, secret passages and more than one hundred organs in this lost city. Among them, those organs-turning boards, traps, trip locks, arrow holes, gun holes, rolling balls, falling boards, hanging stones, cutting axes... Shen Wen couldn't make them, so he could only draw sketches, and asked Zhang Yunzheng to use small wooden sticks and paper , clay, needlework and so on.
Zhang Yunzheng fully demonstrated all the advantages of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he can concentrate on making every mechanism. Once, Shen Wen looked at his slender fingers, extremely focused eyes, and slightly frowning brows, feeling in his heart: He is simply more feminine than herself!
Zhang Yunzheng seemed to know what Shen Wen was thinking, and carefully placed the small mechanism in his hand between the two walls, then got up and glared at her, saying: "This has nothing to do with men and women! It's because you are too stupid! Sometimes I really think you Could it be that I could have come back earlier, but because I was too stupid to find my way, I had to wait for a thousand years."
Shen Wen pouted: "You know that you will be hated by others, okay? No one likes you when you say so many bad things!"
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen contemptuously: "Don't worry about me, worry about yourself!"
Shen Wen said, "Why should I worry about myself?"
Zhang Yunzheng smirked: "Do you know what you like or don't like? Hmm?"
Shen Wen blushed, stomped his feet and said, "You are a bad person!" He even teased her, and left quickly when the time was up.
In Pingyuanhou's mansion, Mrs. Li complained to Pingyuanhou: "Why do I often not see... him recently? I heard that he has a house outside. Is he resenting us? Once he moves out, he won't come back..." Mrs. Li was a little teary.
Marquis Pingyuan frowned slightly: "The kid was pretty smooth when he saw me last time, and he didn't show any hair. But they did say that he wouldn't come back one night in two or three days..."
Li's handkerchief for wiping tears stopped in the air, and he looked at Ping Yuanhou in horror: "Don't tell me he... has raised someone?! I have to go and see his place..."
Marquis Pingyuan knew that Zhang Yunzheng went to that courtyard, so he hurriedly stopped Mrs. Li: "Don't, don't go. That place is a dark spot, the less people know about it, the better. I won't go, so as not to attract people's attention. Only Da Lang came forward to take care of it, I asked him... oh, he went out yesterday."
The more Li thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she said worriedly: "The more I think about it, the more I feel that he is with a girl, otherwise, at this age, he wouldn't be homeless..."
Marquis Pingyuan waved his hand: "You think too much. He has such a temper that he quarrels with everyone and wants to fight after three sentences. Which girl can bear it? I hope he can grow up and be stable when he is twenty-two. Otherwise, who wants to marry his daughter to him? I don't want to marry Jin'er to such a bad temper."
Li Shi was skeptical about her husband, so she decided to wait until she saw Zhang Yunzheng to make a side note.
On this day, Zhang Yunzheng finally went home at noon.
He made a mechanism a few times last night, but it didn't work out, and he kept thinking about changing the material. Maybe it's better to get a turnip from the kitchen and carve a hollow shape with a knife than to make it out of clay. He didn't think Shen Wen's design was too dark at all, he always wanted to express Shen Wen's intention perfectly. Maybe it was because he was too involved, and fell asleep at night. In his dream, he saw Shen Wen and many blue swifts flying and frolicking in the air. On... He woke up, in a bad mood, and went home hungry. As soon as he entered the mansion, he heard that Mrs. Li was looking for him. Zhang Yunzheng hurried into Mrs. Mrs. Li's living room. Seeing Mrs. Li eating, he shouted: "Oh... there is food to eat!"
Mrs. Li put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Zhang Yunzheng with some resentment, Zhang Yunzheng frowned and called awkwardly: "Mother..."
Li's face burst into laughter immediately: "Sit down, sit down!" She raised her voice in a rare way: "Quick, serve chopsticks and spoons! Let people serve more dishes, and bring more of the crucian carp soup just now , Didn’t you say that you want to make oily hooves for Lord Hou and the others at night? Is it done? Bring it here first too!”
She smiled and looked at Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng was washing his hands hastily in the basin brought by the maid, but his eyes were fixed on the dishes on the table. As soon as he wiped his hands on the towel, he stretched out his hand to grab the plate, but was stopped by Li Shi with one hand, and the other hand took the chopsticks from the servant girl's hand and handed them to Zhang Yunzheng, saying sadly: "You can't use your hands, you child..." She didn't raise this child personally since she was a child, and Zhang Yunzheng obviously lacked etiquette in behavior.
Zhang Yunzheng didn't speak, took the chopsticks, and was not humble, and with a few quick strokes, the light lunch plate in front of Li was empty.
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and was about to lose his temper when the maids came over with trays of food, and new dishes were put on the floor one after another, Zhang Yunzheng buried his head in eating again, Li Shi didn't speak, just watched with a smile.
When Zhang Yunzheng was finally full, he put down his chopsticks, took a few sips of tea, and his expression eased, then Li said with a smile: "Look at you hungry! Master Hou has gone out of the city, and your brother is not here. Didn't you go with me?" Are they together?"
Zhang Yunzheng knew that Zhang Yunming was going to run the wine cellar and his father was busy with military training, so he said, "I don't care about their affairs! I'm also... very busy!"
Li smiled carefully: "You are so old...do you want a... maid?"
When Zhang Yunzheng heard that he was going to give him a maid, his immediate reaction was that his mother wanted to find out about him, and immediately became furious: "Did you put a maid in my brother's room?!"
Mrs. Li retreated pitifully: "Your brother, he said he would choose by himself... In the end, I haven't seen him choose anyone in these years..."
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "Since he picks by himself, I will pick by myself too! No!" He recalled: "Why should I pick maids?! I don't want to pick at all! They are very annoying."
As he spoke, he was about to get up, and Li Shi hurriedly asked: "Zheng'er, tell mother the truth, do you have a crush on someone?"
Zhang Yunzheng jumped up, his face flushed red: "What's 'fancy someone'?! Fell in love with a ghost! Yes, it's a ghost!"
Li's face turned pale: "Child! This is no joke! Don't be so careless, if you really can't, you can bring it in...
Zhang Yunzheng yelled: "What 'carried in'?! Concubine?! A thousand-year-old ghost is concubine?!"
Mrs. Li covered her chest: "You can't scare your mother like this! What the hell! What if you scare my mother to death?"
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and pouted: "Mother starts first, I don't care about my business!"
Mrs. Li beckoned to let Zhang Yunzheng come closer, and took Zhang Yunzheng's hand to look carefully at Zhang Yunzheng's face. These days, Zhang Yunzheng made models with Shen Wen in the secret room, deeply influenced by Shen Wen's aura, with a peaceful state of mind and focused consciousness. Although I slept late, I got enough sleep, and there were no dark circles under my eyes, and my eyes were still as bright and innocent as before.
The more Li looked at it, the more she liked it. She patted Zhang Yunzheng's hand and said, "Son, mother is really worried about you. You don't need to tell mother what you are doing, but you must take good care of yourself."
Zhang Yunzheng muttered: "I'm fine." In a reluctant tone.
Li Shi sighed: "I can't help my mother!" Letting go, Zhang Yunzheng saluted, and left with a satisfied look.
Mrs. Li looked at Zhang Yunzheng's back, frowned and said to herself: "How can I find the Taoist priest back then? Let him see if my son has run into evil." Got it, isn't one haunted by a ghost
Marquis Pingyuan knew that Zhang Yunzheng was back, so he called him, and said: "Tomorrow you will follow me around the surrounding villages, and you will be familiar." Zhang Yunzheng agreed.
That night, Zhang Yunzheng did not go to the secret room, and rode out of the city with Marquis Pingyuan early the next morning.
When Shen Wen arrived at the courtyard at night, a row of houses was dark. Since she came, she still entered the secret room. After lighting the lamp, she sat beside the half-formed model, not wanting to do anything. She sat there for a while, then got up again, blew on the lamp, left the secret room, and closed the door. She said to herself to check the surroundings, and walked around the courtyard a few times, but found no one. Shen Wen returned to the mansion early, which was rare, which made Su Wanniang very happy and had a good night's sleep.
The next day, Shen Wen woke up from a late sleep, and was a little listless, lying on the bed for a long time and couldn't get up. It took him a long time to realize that it was because Zhang Yunzheng left without saying goodbye! Yes, the bastard! Don't leave a note for yourself or anything! Let yourself wonder where he went! During this period of time, the two of them made models together, which can be regarded as a team. He just walked away like this, irresponsible bastard! ... Shen Wen scolded Zhang Yunzheng more than ten times in his heart.
Zhang Yunzheng was sneezing outside the city, Pingyuan Hou laughed: "Probably your mother is talking about you!" They arrived at a village in the Li family outside the city, Ping Yuanhou got off his horse panting, and sighed to Zhang Yunzheng next to him Said: "I can't do it, I'm really old! I think back then... Forget it, why did I show off to you?"
Zhang Yunzheng hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and his legs hurt from riding, not much better than his father, but he said: "Who made my father always sit in the mansion, just come out for a run more often from now on."
Marquis Pingyuan looked at Zhang Yunzheng's difficult gait, and said maliciously: "I don't think you are much better, boy, I will have to mention you every time in the future."
The servant boy and a group of peasants in charge of the Zhuangzi escorted the two of them into the courtyard and closed the courtyard door. The people in the Zhuangzi followed Ping Yuanhou and Zhang Yunzheng into the hall, and the others guarded the courtyard.
When Marquis Pingyuan and Zhang Yunzheng were seated, all the people in the hall worshiped each other, "I have seen the general!"
Marquis Pingyuan waved: "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down, okay?"
One person said: "It's good, but yesterday someone from the mountain said that they were all exhausted and lay down. I don't know which grandson made up that trick for training soldiers."
Marquis Pingyuan laughed, and patted Zhang Yunzheng on the shoulder beside him: "You can ask him."
The man hurriedly apologized, "My lord, forgive me."
Zhang Yunzheng curled his lips: "It's okay, I didn't make it up."
Marquis Pingyuan said: "One drop of sweat in peacetime, one drop of blood less in wartime. You all understand that people in Zhuangzi should not be idle."
One person hurriedly said: "Yes, everyone understands that the general asked everyone to save their lives."
He also asked about the personnel and ages in the Zhuangzi, the number of hoes and other tools used by the households, and the number of heads in the account. Ping Yuanhou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's have dinner, it's hard to come here once, and I will be with you again." Let's all have a good meal."
Several people said: "I still have to drink!"
Marquis Pingyuan laughed: "I just rode here and it took a lot of effort. If I get drunk again, how can I go back to the city?"
Everyone laughed: "Who is the general fooling?"
After urging people to serve meals, everyone ate and drank, Ping Yuanhou was drunk and helped to mount a horse, said goodbye to everyone, left Zhuangzi, and rode to another Zhuangzi.
Halfway, Marquis Pingyuan no longer looked drunk, and Zhang Yunzheng, who was riding beside him, said, "Father can pretend."
Ping Yuanhou laughed: "Let's visit a few places a day, don't pretend to be drunk, and don't let these bastards be fed to death?"
They looked at two more Zhuangzi before returning to the city. Zhang Yunzheng knew that Marquis Pingyuan took him to visit Zhuangzi who hid him one by one, and he also let him show his face in front of everyone, and formally introduced him to his subordinates. He was proud and nervous at the same time, he was always serious and said little, for fear that he might lose his father.
After returning to the mansion, Zhang Yunzheng finally relaxed, and went to see Mrs. Li with his father, Mrs. Li asked: "It can be considered that you are back, are you tired all day?"
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and said, "I'm not tired at all."
Ping Yuanhou cut out: "Aren't you tired? If your legs are shaking, you will know your mouth is tough."
Zhang Yunzheng stared: "Are you still talking about me? Dad can't even straighten up!"
Ping Yuanhou raised his hand: "Get out! You are not big or small!"
Zhang Yunzheng straightened his neck: "Who wants to stay here?" He went out with a little limp.
Marquis Pingyuan looked at Zhang Yunzheng's back and sighed: "You bastard with no tutor!"
Mrs. Li also sighed: "He is being rude now. Yesterday I asked him who he fell in love with outside, and he said he fell in love with a ghost..."
Marquis Pingyuan laughed, and Li said anxiously, "I think he is serious."
Ping Yuanhou still smiled: "Then he is really a ghost! Don't worry about the child when he is old."
Mrs. Li sighed again: "How can you not worry? What about the Fourth Princess?"
Marquis Pingyuan said: "Madam, the fourth princess will reach Ji next year, they must wait for her to reach Ji before planning our plans. Now we still have time."
Mrs. Li looked at Pingyuanhou with admiration: "Husband, our house depends on you."
Ping Yuanhou nodded: "Madam, don't worry."
Mrs. Li finally lost her sorrow, and said to people: "The banquet is about to begin." Turning to Ping Yuanhou, he said: "I know you have been running outside all day, so I asked them to make soup to quench their thirst and fatigue..."
Marquis Pingyuan smiled and said to Mrs. Li: "Madam is always very considerate. If I have a wife in my life..." he began to speak nice words again.
Zhang Yunzheng wanted to go to the courtyard, but his legs hurt so badly that he couldn't use lightness exercises, so he rested for two days. When he went to the courtyard, he went into the secret room and saw that he was angry on the spot: he left for a few days, and Shen Wen didn't do anything! Zhang Yunzheng took out the radish he brought and concentrated on carving.
When Shen Wen saw the lights in the courtyard, most of the anger that had been pent up for a few days suddenly vented. She knocked on the door, but no one came to open it! The anger that Shen Wen had just dissipated rose again. She leaned on the window to see that there was no one in the room, and she knew that Zhang Yunzheng probably entered the secret room, maybe he couldn't hear her, and when she thought about it, her anger disappeared. Shen Wen walked around outside the courtyard, looked into the house from time to time, and scolded himself for being sick at the same time! With this skill, I have already returned to the Hou Mansion, so I will sleep over tonight before talking about it! Can't you come back tomorrow? Didn't Zhang Yunzheng let his pigeons go? I thought so in my heart, but I didn't want to just go back without seeing Zhang Yunzheng's face. If it is really necessary to pursue it, it is Shen Wen who wants to accuse Zhang Yunzheng!
After Zhang Yunzheng finished carving the mechanism in his hand, he finally came back to his senses. Thinking of whether Shen Wen had come, he hurriedly opened the secret room and came out. Immediately, he heard movement at the door. Zhang Yunzheng immediately became alert, and heard Shen Wen whisper: "Open the door!" Busy over to open the door.
As soon as Shen Wen came in, the smoldering emotions burst out immediately: "Why didn't you leave a note when you didn't come last time? I thought something happened to you! Why didn't you turn off the light outside in the secret room? If someone is in Look outside and see you come out of the secret room, what do you do? Do you know that as a team, you have to maintain communication?…”
After listening to it for a long time, Zhang Yunzheng understood that Shen Wen had rushed to nothing, and was unhappy. When Shen Wen finished his anger, he said, "My father asked me to go out with him temporarily. I can't make it through. If I can come out next time, I will definitely come out." Leave a message for you."
Shen Wen was at a loss for words, pouted, Zhang Yunzheng squinted at her, Shen Wen rolled his eyes: "What are you looking at me for?!"
Zhang Yunzheng twitched his lips, "Why not? Go in, I've made that mechanism, and I can draw the overall picture."
Shen Wen was a little depressed: It took so many days to get sulking, and the meeting passed after a few words? Why didn't you have a big fight? Very unhappy.
She entered the secret room, Zhang Yunzheng set up the frame, stretched the white silk, asked Shen Wen to help, first compared with the model with a long ruler, and used a thin charcoal stick to mark the outline and the dotted line of the wall direction, Shen Wen Wen was measuring the model and reporting the numbers, checking whether Zhang Yunzheng's dotted line matched the model. It seemed that only ten minutes later, I heard the sound of drums.
Shen Wen said dejectedly: "You don't have much time to do so much, it's you!"
Zhang Yunzheng sent Shen Wen out, looked at the hourglass pot he specially brought, and said: "We have been drawing for half an hour, and it's okay. I drew the big picture during the day, and the details need to be explained with pictures and words. "
Shen Wen was surprised that so much time had passed, and was frowning in doubt, he seemed to see Zhang Yunzheng smile from the corner of his eye, Shen Wen turned to look at him, Zhang Yunzheng yawned. Shen Wen could only say, "See you next time."
When Shen Wen came next time, Zhang Yunzheng really drew a big picture of the whole maze on the white silk. The lines were straight and uniform in thickness, which looked very artistic.
Shen Wen stared at it for a long time, thinking that he could not accept the obsessive-compulsive disorder. She noticed that many offices were numbered, Zhang Yunzheng took out a stack of papers and said, "You can look at the corresponding ones to see if I describe them correctly."
Shen Wen took it, and it turned out that there was a detailed map corresponding to the number, and there was an explanation of how to build the mechanism next to it. The handwriting is clean, the ink is not scattered, and the hair is sharp and beautiful. Shen Wen's eyes widened when he saw it, and he almost put his nose on it. After confirming it, he raised his head and called out to Zhang Yunzheng: "It's you! It's the Jiangnan gourmet book you wrote!"
Zhang Yunzheng looked at Shen Wen with disdain: "I didn't write it for you! I also wrote Shanhelu! Pigs without brains can't read it. My brother put that in the package to greedy you .To tell you the truth, did you drool a lot after reading it?"
Shen Wen was still in shock: "How can you write a gourmet diary? How can you write an article?"
Zhang Yunzheng pretended to be shocked in the same tone: "How can you read?! Besides screaming, you can actually talk?!"
Shen Wen pointed at Zhang Yunzheng angrily: "You...you..."
Zhang Yunzheng said happily, "What are you? Do you know how stupid you are?"
Shen Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Why do I hate you so much!"
Zhang Yunzheng raised his eyebrows loftily: "Maybe you don't know a word, but I can introduce it. This word is—jealousy!"
Shen Wen shook his head: "No, I'm not jealous..."
Zhang Yunzheng smiled as if looking down on Shen Wen: "What is that? Huh? Forget it! You are so stupid, you must not be able to figure it out! Work first! To explain so many mechanisms, I will draw and you will write. Remember, Write it exactly as I wrote it! The handwriting must be beautiful! It is also clear and plump, with elegant brushstrokes, don't embarrass me!"
Shen Wen went crazy: "I designed this, how did it become yours?"
Zhang Yunzheng said arrogantly: "You came up with it, but I mainly did it! So it's mine! No matter how much you think about it, it's useless if you can't do it!"
Shen Wen could only submit depressedly, and when he went to the secret room to write for the illustrations drawn by Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng often had to tell him "the key points are clearly drawn" and "here, the small characters must have a big atmosphere." "Be sparse and calm. "The strokes should be wider..."
Shen Wen finally yelled: "I'm quitting!" After he yelled out, he heard the drum beating five times outside! Shen Wen was terrified—she was only listening to Zhang Yunzheng's sting, and didn't hear the drumbeat of the fourth watch. Shen Wen hurried out of the house, only to see the east was about to dawn, she ran towards the direction of the Hou's mansion, if anyone saw it, they would definitely suspect it was black lightning or something.
The sky had turned gray when she crashed into her window. The anxious Su Wanniang stepped forward and asked softly, "Why did you come back so late?!"
Shen Wen was a little out of breath: "I... didn't hear... drums..."
Su Wanniang frowned and asked, "Are you alone? Mr. Zhang and the others didn't watch for you?" Su Wanniang always thought that Shen Wen was going to see the two brothers of the Zhang family, but she never thought that Shen Wen had been alone with others in the dark room many times.
Shen Wen could only lie: "Ah, Mr. Zhang and the others didn't go today."
On the contrary, Su Wanniang was relieved, nodded and said: "It's better to seldom see foreign men, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case others find out..." Amidst her whispering, Shen Wen lay down, still shocked In the aftermath, he suddenly asked Su Wanniang, "That Jiangnan gourmet book was written by the second son of the Zhang family, do you believe it?"
Su Wanniang was stunned for a moment and said, "Why don't you believe it? That young master looks very smart."
Shen Wen frowned: "But why do I always feel that he is a little bastard?"
Su Wanniang laughed: "You are biased!"
----------------------------------
One day when he was going to see Shen Wen again, Zhang Yunzheng went to Li's Fushun Building, and walked in the door swaggeringly. The clerk hurriedly reported it to shopkeeper Jiang, and shopkeeper Jiang remembered that Mr. Zhang said that this master is a bully, so he hurriedly accompanied Xiaoxin to welcome him out.
Zhang Yunzheng asked: "Has the material I ordered last time arrived?"
Shopkeeper Jiang hurriedly asked someone to say, "Go quickly, and bring the ingredients ordered for Mr. Zhang." The clerk moved over, and Zhang Yunzheng was annoyed to find that there was not only the blue swift he ordered, but also a fat duckling. of. Seeing Shopkeeper Jiang's very wary eyes, Zhang Yunzheng couldn't get angry, so he could only say, "Let's take care of everything!"
Zhang Yunzheng returned to Pingyuanhou's mansion with the materials, and was thinking whether to destroy the corpses and traces of the materials Zhang Yunming ordered, when he heard that Zhang Yunming had returned. He hurriedly went to Pingyuanhou's study.
Zhang Yunming went out for such a trip, so naturally he felt a little windy and frosty, and he was reporting the wine cellar to Pingyuanhou. When Zhang Yunzheng went in, Zhang Yunming had already said most of what he had said, but he was just summarizing: "Father, we have more than five hundred people, and now the houses are almost built and the roads are leveled. There are mountain springs and trees around that place, which is really convenient for brewing wine." Two batches of grain have been transported, and I have someone build a large warehouse next to it that can store millions of catties of grain. It should be enough to transport a few times a year. The first tank of wine has come out, really strong, I drink If you mix some water, you will be drunk..."
Zhang Yunzheng interrupted when he heard it: "I told you to build a wine cellar, not for drinking!"
Zhang Yunming smiled at Zhang Yunzheng and said, "You've obviously grown up."
Zhang Yunzheng was very proud of having created the maze, and smiled with his chest raised.
Zhang Yunming naturally felt something was wrong, after saying goodbye to Marquis Pingyuan, he came out with Zhang Yunzheng, and immediately asked in a low voice: "Quickly tell me, what did you do?"
Zhang Yunzheng said excitedly, "We made a model of the maze, and it's almost finished. Brother, go and have a look, it's amazing."
That night, Zhang Yunming and Zhang Yunzheng went to the courtyard. Zhang Yunming entered the secret room, saw the model of the maze, looked at it carefully for a long time, got up and sighed: "Little Fat Duck must have thought about this for a long time."
Zhang Yunzheng said in dissatisfaction, "Why don't you tell me that I did a good job?"
Zhang Yunming once again looked at Zhang Yunzheng with some concern: "If a person only thinks about these key acupoints for killing people, tell me, how poisonous is this person's mind?"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Then I still made it all the same! Could it be that I am also a scorpion-hearted person? Didn't you just come back from the wine cellar? Do you think the brewed wine is for drinking?"
Zhang Yunming said: "I always feel that if you are a man, you can naturally have these calculations, but as a woman, you should care for your husband and teach your children, be kind-hearted, and not touch these things."
Zhang Yunzheng now feels that Shen Wen's previous life must have been a very stupid person, otherwise he would not have been so thoroughly used by others, so that he could not let it go for thousands of years, so he could only say: "She was just unlucky and knew these things. Yes, maybe she knows how to cry all day long, looking for advice from people everywhere. She has her own ideas and knows how to save people from fire and water, isn't that good? Don't pick the bones in the egg!"
Zhang Yunming said seriously: "Have you noticed that every time I say something bad about her, you try to defend her. Why is that? You don't get along well with her."
Zhang Yunzheng got angry: "Whether I get along well with her is not something you can say! Besides, I think we get along very well! Otherwise, how could we make this model? I don't think she is as poisonous as you said."
Zhang Yunming sighed deeply: "I hope so, anyway, I can only keep a respectful distance from her."
As soon as the words fell, there was a rustling sound at the door, Zhang Yunzheng said to Zhang Yunming: "She is here, remember to stay away!"
