[75] Zhao Yan falls into a dream

The land in Changzhou was bought with the help of Bai Yutang. Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao discussed how to buy some land in the counties near the capital. In the future, the business in the store would be used as a dowry for Mu Yu, and they would buy some land for their children. industry.Zhan Zhao also agrees with Mu Yan's proposal, and Mu Yan starts to contact the dental office every day besides taking care of the children.

After a period of selection, Mu Yan fell in love with the field in Chenjiawan, Xiangfu County recommended by Yaxing.I said hello to Zhan Zhao, and took the child Dangdang to travel together to have a look.Not bad, 370 mu of high-grade fertile land and [-] mu of medium-grade farmland, totaling [-] taels of silver.Mu Yan saw that the bank notes had all been turned into land deeds, and lamented again that it was easy to make money but difficult to spend. Basically all her savings had been turned into land deeds, and now it is back to before liberation.

But the land is still worth a lot. The seller raised a prodigal son and owed a lot of gambling debts. Although the land was about to be harvested, his father still had no choice but to sell the land to the prodigal son to pay off the gambling debts, which made Mu Yan take advantage.After returning home, Mu Yan showed the land deed to Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao shook his head helplessly when he saw her smiling.

If you bought a pile of land, you have to take care of it, and in Xiangfu County, you have to arrange it when the harvest is imminent. It seems that it is not easy to be a landlord.Zhan Zhao promised Mu Yan that when the autumn harvest came, he would take a few days off to help Mu Yan with the autumn harvest.

In the blink of an eye, Qiu Shou arrives.Zhan Zhao did not break his promise this time, and took the holiday to go to Xiangfu County to invite people to harvest in person.After a while of busy work, a total of 33 shi of grain was harvested from the 83 mu of land. Zhan Zhao exempted the officials from taxation, kept half and sold the other half, earning 40 taels of silver, and finally saw the benefits of the field.Eating the grain produced in my own field that night, I felt that it was different from the usual grain, but it was more fragrant.Zhan Zhao and Mu Yan even ate an extra bowl of rice with the maids.

After being busy with the autumn harvest, Zhan Zhao started to get busy again.First, he accompanied Mr. Bao on a tour, and just after he came back, another case occurred in the capital. He was so busy that he didn't calm down until the twelfth lunar month.It was rare that Zhan Zhao came back one day early, played with the child for half a day, and then coaxed the child to sleep in person, finally both Jumping Beans were coaxed to sleep, and Zhan Zhao returned to the bedroom.

"These two kids are too energetic, they didn't sleep until they played for a long time," Zhan Zhao rubbed his sore waist and laughed.Although his mouth was full of complaints, there was a look of joy between his brows and eyes.

"You just played with them for one night. Xingchen always complains like this every time he plays with them. You said that the twins of the family are lively and introverted. Why do these two in our family look like monkeys? It really makes me I can't figure it out." Mu Yan made a rare complaint.These two Doudings have performed martial arts every day since they could turn over, and scratched each other at first; later they could sit up and start pushing, and they probably started playing the game of eagle and chicken when they could crawl. Mu Yan felt that her son They are always staged in the drama of falling in love and killing each other.

"I'm not afraid if a boy is naughty, he should start practicing martial arts earlier. If a girl is so naughty, he will have a headache." Zhan Zhao said indifferently.

Hearing Zhan Zhao talk about martial arts, he remembered what was said on TV, and asked him mysteriously: "Did you check to see if the two sons are expected to practice martial arts? Didn't you say that the bones are amazing, the bones are wonderful, etc. Is our son better than you?"

Looking at Mu Yan's appearance, Zhan Zhao couldn't laugh or cry: "There is such a saying, but my son is too young to see it. You are too impatient, and besides, the purpose of practicing kung fu is to strengthen your body and not to break into the rivers and lakes?" Said Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to pull Mu Yan into his arms, and put down the bed curtain smoothly: "Since you are in a hurry, how about taking a look at your bones for my husband?"

Early the next morning, Mu Yan opened her eyes and there was no sign of Zhan Zhao around her. Qiu'er came in with water to take a bath for Mu Yan. After asking, she found out that Zhan Zhao was on duty early in the morning and left at dawn.Mu Yan sighed and nodded to show that she knew.In ancient times, there was no labor law, and it took one day and one night to go to the palace on rotation. Every time Zhan Zhao came back from his rotation, his face was full of fatigue. Sometimes he was busy with errands, and he had to continue to work for two or three days after returning from his rotation. often.Zhan Zhao doesn't know how to play tricks, and every time he is on duty, his eyes are black and blue, which makes Mu Yan feel distressed. When he talked about it, he even said with a smile: "Although the rotation duty stays up late, but fortunately, you don't have to worry too much. Just stand." It really left her speechless.

Zhan Zhao no longer had to eat breakfast by himself, and went to play with his children for a while, and ordered the New Year's gifts needed for the New Year and made a list so that he could go shopping in the afternoon.Facts have proved that it is irrational for women to go shopping regardless of ancient and modern times. They took the two maids to buy until the sun went down and then stopped. In addition to the items listed on the list, they bought a bunch of miscellaneous odds and ends.Asking the store owner to send it back directly, the three of them went to the Baijia Restaurant for dinner before returning home.

As expected, Zhan Zhao hadn't come back from the palace yet, looking at the gloomy weather, he estimated that it was going to snow at night.Mu Yan went to the kitchen to cook a pot of soup in person, and told her to work hard on the stove at night to take care of it, to make sure that Zhan Zhao could have a sip of hot soup to warm her body when she came back tomorrow morning, and then she went back to her room to rest.

When Mu Yan opened her sleepy eyes again, she was woken up by the smell all over the room. Zhan Zhao sat at the table drinking soup, saw her wake up and turned to the bed with a smile: "Lazy girl, wake up!"

"You're back?" Mu Yan first woke up, her voice hoarse and a little lazy.

"Well, the soup is good! Get up, and I'll get you a bowl too?" Zhan Zhao teased her with the soup bowl.

"Bring it here and let me have a look?" Zhan Zhao handed the soup bowl in front of her according to his words. The soup was fragrant and white, with a few green onions and coriander hanging on it, making people salivate just looking at it.

Knowing that Zhan Zhao will take a bath today, Mu Yan urges Zhan Zhao to take a bath and rest after drinking the soup.After Zhan Zhao drank the soup in two gulps, the maids also prepared water to take a bath.

Mu Yan told the maids to re-make the bed, clean the house, and bring the smoked cage, and sprinkle a few pieces of fragrant pancakes in it to help sleep.After a while, the faint scent of spices wafted through the room.

Zhan Zhao came into the room with loose wet hair, Mu Yan pulled him to sit down beside the smoker, took a cloth towel and wiped his hair.Mu Yan talked about the New Year ceremony softly, and Zhan Zhao listened with a smile and added a few words of his own opinion from time to time.Not long after, Mu Yan felt that Zhan Zhao was leaning on her body and there was no movement. She looked down and saw that he had fallen asleep leaning on her, so she couldn't help laughing.Carefully supporting Zhan Zhao, he wanted to lower his head to tease him with a light kiss on his lips, but unexpectedly, the moment his lips touched, Zhan Zhao opened his eyes with a faint smile.

Zhan Zhao picked her up and put her on the bed: "Hey, sleep with me for a while!" After speaking, regardless of Mu Yan's protest, he pulled the quilt over the two of them, hugged Mu Yan and closed her eyes.It was not until Zhan Zhao fell asleep that Mu Yan gently broke free from his arm and got out of bed secretly.

Turning around, I saw the corners of Zhan Zhao's mouth curved slightly, knowing that he felt the movement of getting out of bed, so I whispered in his ear, "You can rest assured to sleep at home, and keep your eyes open after you sleep, how can you relax your mind? Call me if there is something to do with the accounts in the wing room." Zhan Zhao nodded slightly without opening his eyes, and only turned over and fell into a deep sleep when she went out.

Zhan Zhao didn't wake up until Weishi.When Mu Yan returned to her room, she saw Zhan Zhao leaning on the bed curtain to read a book, saw her come in and beckoned her to sit by the bed, and the two continued to discuss the previous New Year ceremony.

As soon as the topic was over, the nanny brought over two Doudings. The two children were very excited to see Zhan Zhao, obviously they still remembered this good-tempered father.Zhan Zhao took the children one by one and put them on the bed, and turned around and got into a mess with them.

It was rare for Zhan Zhao to rest at home with the children, so Mu Yan arranged according to the annual gift list discussed by the two of them.The exhibitor is in Changzhou, and the New Year gift will be delivered by Zhanyao's ordering store, and Mu Yan only needs to be ready to deliver to the store.Mu Yan from the Liu family and the Zhou family told Xingchen to send it back in person, and now Xingchen should also share some family affairs with him.

Xingchen came back in the evening, happily accepted the task, Mu Yu also clamored to follow, but Mu Yan had no choice but to agree with Zhan Zhao, knowing that Mu Yan was worried about their safety, so he said that he would arrange two yamen servants to accompany them back tomorrow. Take it easy.

Early the next morning, the officials from Kaifeng Mansion came to pick up Mu Yu, Xing Chen and his party, and put on a New Year's ceremony to see them off, so Mu Yan was relieved to do other things.

After the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, the yamen was also sealed, Mr. Bao returned to his hometown in Hefei, and Mr. Gongsun also returned home for the New Year. Only Zhan Zhao and Zhang Long Zhaohu were left on duty in the Kaifeng mansion. Dynasty Ma Han had his own family. Going home to celebrate the New Year, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu are lonely. Their parents are gone in the early years, and they don’t have any brothers and sisters. One year at the adult's house, one year at Mr. Gongsun's house, and later Dynasty Ma Han became relatives successively, and they had two more places to hang out.

Zhao Hu and Mu Yan are friends, and Mu Yan likes Zhang Long as a sincere child, so she took the initiative to keep them at her home for the New Year, the two of them are naturally happy, not to mention that Mu Yan's food can't be eaten anywhere else Yes, even if you go to Baijia Restaurant to eat, you still have to queue up.Now that they have this convenient condition, how can they not be unhappy, just after sending off Master Bao, the two rushed to report to Zhan Zhao's house with the reward of rice, grain and meat.

The weather was cold, so Mu Yan simply made hot pot for them to eat. The fresh meat and vegetables were eaten with the spicy seasoning of dogwood, and the mouths were full of flames. Then the iced pear soup served by the girl was cool and refreshing.The few people were hooked, and Mu Yan looked at the big men laughing and making trouble like children, she was speechless and asked the sky.After a meal, several people were drunk, and Zhao Hu was poured under the table by Zhan Zhao and Zhang Long. Even Zhan Zhao, who had always been reserved, blushed from drinking.Looking at the drunks, Mu Yan wished to pour a few buckets of ice water on their heads to wake them up, but she had no choice but to let the maids carry them to the guest room.

26 Early in the morning, the three of them sobered up.Zhan Zhao is alright, it's just that Mu Yan disliked him because he smelled of alcohol all over his body, and he had a splitting headache.Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and Zhang Long saw Mu Yan was so embarrassed that they didn't know where to hide. They were stared at by Mu Yan's wonderful eyes at the breakfast table, and they didn't even dare to eat. Seeing their embarrassed appearance, Mu Yan burst out laughing "puchi", which relieved the previous embarrassing atmosphere.

Mu Yan looked at Zhang Long and asked, "Zhang Long, when are you going to have a wedding with Chunhong?" After asking one sentence, Zhan Zhao and Zhao Hu were inexplicably surprised, not to mention that Zhang Long was almost choked to death by millet porridge.After a while, Zhang Long asked Mu Yan with a red face how she knew.Mu Yan pointed at Zhang Long's shoes with a smile: "I saw Chunhong made these shoes. I thought they were made for Zhan Zhao, but then I thought it was wrong. I always buy Zhan Zhao's shoes in person. I did what I ordered, and it didn’t make sense for her to act on her own. When I asked her later, she didn’t say anything, but she blushed. I knew something was wrong. When the girls carried you last night, I saw these shoes and thought of them. Seeing Chunhong's reaction at that time, I feel like it's full." Mu Yan smiled half-smile, almost lowering Zhang Longxao's face into the bowl, Mu Yan looked funny, and took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket Pass the paper to Zhang Long and motion him to open it.

Zhang Long opened the paper suspiciously, then he was stunned, and looked at Mu Yan puzzled: "Sister-in-law, what is this?"

"Their couple's identity, why are you illiterate?" Mu Yan still had a smile on her face. "When Chun Hongniang went to Changzhou, I said that when Chunhong should see her, I would return the deed to their wives. Now that Chunhong and you are in love, I can't break my promise. You are a good one, Chunhong It's not bad, and she also has craftsmanship. Although your salary is enough to support the family, you know me and don't think that women must stay at home to support their husbands and children. After you get married, I will let Chunhong take care of the embroidery village , do you have any objections?" Mu Yan asked Zhang Long with a smile.

Zhang Long nodded excitedly when he heard the words: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm not ignorant, I know you are doing it for our own good. I will live a good life with her, you can rest assured."

Mu Yan nodded and said: "After the new year, Chun Hongniang will come back from Changzhou, will you tell it yourself or should I help you? Don't delay this matter, or the good girl will be snatched away." Zhang Long nodded, and kindly begged Mu Yan to make him an ice man to say goodbye, Mu Yan nodded and agreed, and everyone started booing Zhang Long again, until Zhang Long blushed before giving up.

On New Year's Eve, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu had a New Year's Eve dinner at Zhan Zhao's place, and they all bid farewell and went back to Kaifeng Mansion.Only Mu Yan and Zhan Zhao were left in the main room with a child to watch the new year. The children were drowsy after eating, and the nanny took the child back to rest.Zhan Zhao and Mu Yan met each other's eyes, both of them had warm smiles on their faces, it's the New Year again.
