When Zhang Shou left the kitchen, Xiao Huasheng was gone. According to Ah Liu, this kid would leave a little bit of each dish, and then put it on a plate and send it to Xian Yunhe. Thinking of the porridge that was cooking on the other stove in the kitchen, he couldn't help yawning and said, "There is also preserved egg and lean meat porridge on the stove, you can help yourselves, I'll take a break!"
Zhu Ying was very satisfied with the meal. She was rubbing her stomach and wondering why her appetite was not big enough. When she heard Zhang Shou said he was tired, she immediately stood up and went to greet him. She knew how tired Zhang Shou was after rushing all the way from the capital. He was not like her who had been training since childhood. He was busy dealing with various things as soon as he arrived. He should have been able to rest today, but he was busy in the kitchen for half a day.
Therefore, she naturally supported Zhang Shou's arm and whispered, "How about you find a place in this palace to sleep?"
Zhang Shou suddenly said, "This is the palace. We are using the kitchen here. Du Heng may turn a blind eye, but if I sleep here, he will take the opportunity to make trouble... I will just find a chair to take a nap and wait for Xiao Huasheng to come back. You guys go get the porridge by yourselves, don't worry about me."
Seeing Zhang Shou smiling at Zhu Ying, and then moving a chair to a nearby tree, he curled up there and took a nap. Old Salted Fish's eyes flickered, and he dragged Zhu Er over, praising him, "Your future brother-in-law is really approachable."
"Yeah, who can tell that he actually came from a small village outside Beijing?" Zhu Er deliberately revealed a little. Seeing that Lao Xianyu was stunned, he glanced at him and said with a fake smile, "Why, are you curious about my brother-in-law? Hehe, he is a legend in Beijing. It's a pity that you, a small place like Cangzhou, have never heard of him."
Although Lao Xianyu initially thought that Zhu Er was a bit stupid, when he later saw people lobbying the eldest prince with eloquent words, he realized that even though these dandies had various shortcomings, they were by no means easy to get along with.
Therefore, upon hearing Zhu Er's obvious tone of playing hard to get, he laughed and said, "I'm an old man, I don't know any heroes in the world, it's normal for me to be ignorant. But..." He glanced at Zhu Ying who was taking a cloak to cover Zhang Shou, and said meaningfully, "But your young lady is very affectionate!"
"Hmph!" Zhu Er suddenly felt a dull pain in his buttocks. He snorted and pretended to be impatient and said, "Nonsense, although my father had already arranged the marriage, it was Yingying who fell in love at first sight when she went to see him! Even the emperor thinks her vision is good... An imperial teacher like Grand Tutor Ge personally accepted someone as his last disciple, and a bunch of playboys who are even more arrogant than me have to call me teacher obediently!"
Old Salted Fish's eyes flickered. Seeing Zhu Er staring at Zhang Shou who was resting with his eyes closed, he felt that a piece of the puzzle had finally been put together in his heart - a young man who grew up in the countryside was about to marry the daughter of the Duke of Zhao, and he was enjoying unlimited glory in the capital. This was something that most people couldn't do no matter what, right? When he first saw Zhang Shou yesterday, he only thought that he was handsome, but now he didn't think so.
There are so many handsome men in the world! The Qi and Huang families in Cangzhou... Which family doesn't have a few handsome men? They have spent countless resources to support Jinshi, but I haven't heard of anyone being successful in the court, let alone having a marriage that would be talked about by countless people in Cangzhou. From this point of view, Zhang Shou's origin and experience are very questionable.
