"cannot!"
This was Zhu Ying's decisive answer to Zhang Shou. When the eldest lady said this, her attitude was also very confident. And what she said next made Zhang Shou's cold body gradually warm up: "We have only been married for a few days, and you want to spend the night outside. I can't be at ease!"
"Yingying, this is your dowry farm. Are you still afraid that someone will be bold enough to launch a night attack on me?" Zhang Shou was neither laughing nor crying. After making a joke, he suddenly noticed that Zhu Ying's two maids, Zhan Jin and Liu Yin, were shrinking back and laughing secretly. As for himself, he didn't know when, but Ah Liu had taken away the head of the farm who led the way.
Without waiting for Zhu Ying to speak, he held her hand and said with a smile, "If I had known you would come, I would have gone with you to see them off. I would have saved myself from listening to Zhang Chen and Zheng Yan's crosstalk on the way there, and having no peace and quiet in my ears. On the way back, I would have been so bored that I would have to sleep alone."
Zhu Ying was so happy with Zhang Shou's words that she immediately held Zhang Shou's hand and walked forward quickly with him, saying angrily, "It's freezing cold, let's go back to the room and talk! If I hadn't happened to be going to see Mingyue and other female teachers today, I would have gone with you! But, Ah Shou, what do you mean by crosstalk?"
Zhang Shou smiled and told her what Zhang Chen and the Fourth Prince had said to persuade her not to send him off in person. Zhu Ying knew that they were afraid that she would cause trouble, so she grumbled and said that they were sensible. However, she did not forget the crosstalk that Zhang Shou did not answer when she asked about it, so Zhang Shou had no choice but to make up a story that it was a form of street performer's performance.
However, Zhu Ying still refused to give up and insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter. Zhang Shou had no choice but to copy the classic stand-up comedy of the limerick.
However, it was a long story and he could not possibly tell it all, so he only said the first part. Zhu Ying heard the eldest brother say, "Get on the carved saddle when you go out," the second brother say, "Get on the horse and take the whip," and the third brother say, "Who will win this time?" She was wondering what the last sentence would be from the loyal and honest fourth brother mentioned by Zhang Shou, when she was caught off guard by the simple and direct word "we."
As a result, the young lady was stunned at first, and then she almost laughed herself to death. The cold wind blew and she coughed a few times, and unfortunately she burped. Fortunately, Zhan Jinliuyin reacted quickly and quickly brought the two into the room with a heated kang and prepared some hot water. Zhu Ying took two big gulps and finally came to her senses.
"What's the latest trick of street performers? Do you think I'm one of those boudoir-dwelling girls who never leave the house? I can go to places like Tingyu Cottage. I've seen all kinds of restaurants and even street performers."
"You just made up a name and put it on someone else!"
Zhu Ying glared at Zhang Shou angrily, but he just smiled and said nothing. But after she finished, she recalled the joke again and couldn't help laughing again. She immediately forced Zhang Shou to finish it. However, no matter how good Zhang Shou's memory was, it was impossible for him to memorize the extremely long joke, so he could only recite a few of the four brothers' doggerel that he could remember.
