The road at night is much more difficult to walk than during the day.
Shen Zhaozhao was concentrating on her feet, but Zhao Pingsheng behind her was a chatterbox.
"Sister-in-law," Zhao Pingsheng stopped calling her Miss Xie and switched to a more intimate name when he was carrying someone on his back. "You have been away from Beijing for many days and don't know much about the situation in Beijing. Why didn't anyone help the Zhan family turn things around this time?"
Shen Zhaozhao complained in his heart: Who are you asking?
"When the Zhao family sees the husband, just ask him."
Shen Zhaozhao politely threw the question back.
"Brother Nanxing, have you ever talked to my wife about the situation when we were defeated?" Zhao Pingsheng asked another question. "I have known several brothers of the Zhan family since I was a child. Based on their experiences with the old general, how could they be defeated by those barbarians?"
Zhao Pingsheng became more and more excited as he spoke.
Shen Zhaozhao rolled his eyes.
This county magistrate is also an angry young man.
"People from Zhao, the roads are slippery on rainy days, please watch your feet..."
Puff——
Before Shen Zhaozhao finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound behind him, accompanied by the sound of cloth tearing.
She turned around quickly.
Zhao Pingsheng, who had a lot of problems, fell down hard and sat on the wet road.
"Oh, how come you really fell?"
Shen Zhaozhao smiled awkwardly, and quickly called on the men who followed Zhao Pingsheng to help lift him up.
She didn't mean to be a pessimist.
"Nothing," Zhao Pingsheng was helped up and patted his clothes.
His hands were covered with yellow mud.
"Miss Shen is really a man of iron tongue and judgment!" A man from the Chen family who followed behind Zhao Pingsheng kept praising Shen Zhaozhao.
Seeing that the Chen family was flattering them, a member of the Cao family quickly agreed, "That's right, if Miss Shen said there is a snake, there will be a snake, if she said there is water, there will be water, if she said someone will fall, then he will fall..."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Shen Zhaozhao coughed dryly.
After hearing this, her bad words were confirmed!
The man from the Cao family realized belatedly that he seemed to have said something wrong and quickly shut up.
"No..." Zhao Pingsheng listened to them talking and felt that something was wrong.
"My dear, our husband and his men are not far from where they are camping," Shen Zhaozhao thought he was going to blame her for her bad words, so she interrupted him and turned away.
"Man, hurry up."
"Yes, they have nothing to eat in 껚껗. I just got some dry food and I want to take it to 껚껗!"
The person behind him urged him again, and Zhao Pingsheng could only suppress the doubts in his heart and follow him.
On the rest of the way, he paid special attention to his feet and did not fall.
Shen Zhaozhao was happy to have quiet ears.
Just as they arrived at the camping site on the ridge, before anyone could see them, Shen Zhaozhao heard someone shouting from a distance:
"Zhao Zhao is back!"
Then, all the women of the Zhan family came over, and each of them looked her up and down several times to make sure there was no problem, so they felt relieved.
"Grandmother is only thinking about my third brother's wife, and doesn't care about me at all." Mrs. Guo came from behind, speaking in a hypocritical and sour tone.
Snap——
The old lady immediately slapped Guo on the back and said, "You are the only one who knows how to act cute."
Guo ran away like a loach, and pulled Lin and Zhan Zhiyao to talk about the situation under the door.
Zhan Nanxing leaned on a wooden stick, looking at Shen Zhaozhao with peach blossom eyes.
for a long time.
A popped up:
"Have you eaten yet?"
Shen Zhaozhao blinked and said, Zhan Nanxing, you are quite a straight man.
Even the words of concern for others are so practical.
"No," Shen Zhaozhao thought about how he had been at a disadvantage in front of Zhan Nanxing before, and this time, he deliberately wanted to tease him.
She reached out, took his hand and shook it, and asked in a tender voice, "Does my husband have anything to eat?"
Zhan Nanxing nodded.
He took out an oil paper bag from his arms.
Shen Zhaozhao was dumbfounded. Is there really food here?
"Huang Ye just went to hunt a rabbit. After roasting it, he left a rabbit leg for you." Zhan Nanxing motioned Shen Zhaozhao to take it quickly.
Shen Zhaozhao reached out and took it. He could still feel the temperature through the oil paper.
Looking at the other members of the Zhan family, it was obvious that they had already eaten.
Zhan Nanxing should keep the warm rabbit meat in her arms and wait for Shen Zhaozhao to come back and give it to her.
Shen Zhaozhao bit his lip.
She still wants to amuse people.
In the end, people played with her so seriously that her eyes became sore.
"Eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold and won't taste good." Zhan Nanxing urged.
"Yeah," Shen Zhaozhao responded, opened the oil paper package, and took a bite of the rabbit meat. It tasted oily and burnt.
"Brother Nanxing and his wife are truly in love!" Zhao Pingsheng, who had been silent the whole time, looked on enviously.
He is a lonely man.
No one caring about him whether he has eaten or not, no one needs his care.
Zhan Nanxing noticed the person standing beside him with envious eyes and was a little surprised, "Zhao Pingsheng?"
"Hello, Brother Nanxing," Zhao Pingsheng and Zhan Nanxing bowed to each other.
When I looked up at the other person again, I felt as if we were in another world.
"The last time I saw you was in Hangzhou," Zhan Nanxing said with a somewhat lonely tone.
At that time, my grandfather, father and brothers were all there.
At that time, he had to worry about the grandson of Zhao Ge's family falling off his horse and breaking his leg, and going home to be whipped by his father.
At that time, my grandfather was not yet a general protecting the country, and my father was only a lieutenant general.
He would rather go back to the beginning than to see everything and everyone changed after the ups and downs.
"Lord Zhao, he..." When he saw his old friend again, Zhan Nanxing's voice was a little hoarse.
Zhao Pingsheng laughed bitterly, "Grandfather was a minister of the previous dynasty. If he doesn't respect the elder, brother, please don't speak out of turn. He passed away two years ago."
His eyes passed over Zhan Nanxing's slovenly face and then fell on the injured leg.
"Grandfather was best friends with General Zhan, fortunately..."
I didn't see the Zhan family on the 2nd day.
Otherwise, he would be so angry that he would die on the spot.
Zhan Nanxing sneered, his face full of sarcasm.
Before the fall of the previous dynasty, Lord Zhao saw that the situation was not going well and retired at the right time, taking the Zhao family with him to live in seclusion in Hangzhou.
The Feng Dynasty was just established.
Mr. Zhan had a very good personal relationship with Mr. Zhao, so he went to visit him with his family.
He pretended to be visiting, but in reality he was lobbying for the new emperor, asking Zhao Ge Lao to come out and take on the important role of prime minister.
Not only did Lord Zhao not leave Hangzhou, he also persuaded Lord Zhan to retire together, saying that when the birds are all gone, the good bows are put away, and when the cunning rabbits are dead, the running dogs are cooked.
Zhan Nanxing lowered his eyes.
If my grandfather had listened to Lord Zhao at the beginning, the Zhan family would still be doing well now.
pity.
There is no such thing as "if" in this world.
"Forget it, let's not talk about the past," Zhao Pingsheng cleared his throat, swept away his depressed mood, and looked at Shen Zhaozhao who was holding an oil paper bag and eating rabbit meat.
"Fortunately, Master Zhan did not listen to Grandfather at the beginning, otherwise Brother Nanxing would not be able to marry Miss Xie!"
"When the news of your engagement to the Xie family spread to Hangzhou, Dad was extremely envious and annoyed at you for being useless."
"I really envy Brother Nanxing for being able to marry a woman as charming as Miss Xie!"
Shen Zhaozhao listened to Zhao Pingsheng calling her "Miss Xie" repeatedly, and glanced at Zhan Nanxing with curved eyebrows.
Um.
Even the hair exudes stiffness and awkwardness.
