Shu Chen

Chapter 327
Chengdu, a small house in the west of the city.

In the cramped study room, Zheng Puyan leaned on the couch to rest his mind.

It's just that, this listlessness is not the kind of backache and leg weakness when he was in Luomen, Luomen, Jixian County, Longyou, when he was in the other courtyard of Lu's house.

After returning to Chengdu after a few years, he had a one-month rest period after the end of the envoy, but this kind of rest was more tiring than the warlord's conquest.

For example, Xiang Chong from the family of in-laws, Shi Jiangwan, the head of the Liufu, and Li Yan, who lived in Zuoqian but had spoken well of him, etc., he all wanted to visit him one by one.There are still Zhang Biao, Zhao Tong, Jiang Xian and others who are familiar with him. He needs to host a banquet and invite them to the meeting.

Let's not talk about Qiao Zhou and Ma Di, who can be said to be inseparable friends.

Ma Su, who was engaged in the administration of Yizhou, no longer led the army to conquer, but his habit of talking about military strategy has not changed. He even took a two-day rest period and asked Zheng Pu to explain to him how to recover Liangzhou. From the beginning to the end, when the interest was strong, I fell asleep all night.

But now Qiao Zhou, who is engaged in classical studies and is in charge of the school administration of a state, has finished talking about his long absence, and asked him to go to the school to give lectures and to train his own disciples for one day each.

Zheng Pu couldn't refuse this point.

When Qiao Zhou came back to Shu earlier, he claimed that he could take some young talents to teach him, so that he could serve as assistant in the future.

Furthermore, the disciples personally handed down by Qiao Zhou, such as Wen Li, Luo Xian, etc., have extraordinary character, talent and learning, and it is a good thing to have the opportunity to teach them.It's just that these people are too young to be promoted to official careers so as not to spoil the seedlings.

Coupled with the visits of his wife's Zhang's mansion and the frequent invitations to dinner with the emperor Liu Chan, Zheng Pu has been busy welcoming and seeing off for half a month, and he has no time to spare.

As for why he was able to steal half a day's leisure in the small house today, it was because he had just returned from the palace to bid farewell to the emperor.

In the morning of the next day, he was going back to Shifang Mulberry Garden, and then set off directly for Longyou.

It took several years to return, but he also went back to do his filial piety to his widowed mother Lu, such as talking with his mother about his family's family problems, digging some bamboo shoots that his mother liked in the back mountain of the mulberry garden, and repairing the tomb of his deceased father by the bank of the Jianjiang River.And because Shifang County is adjacent to Wenshan County, he also needs to spare three days to go back and forth to visit his elder brother Zheng Yan who is the prefect.

All in all, he, who had to rest and wash, was spinning endlessly like a spinning top that was constantly being whipped.

"Gee~"

Accompanied by the dry sound of wooden shafts rubbing against each other, the study door was pushed open.

Zheng Pu didn't open his eyes.

Apart from him, only his wife Zhang Yan can enter this study.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Zhang Yan who walked in slowly remained silent.

First, before the case continued to burn sandalwood, Fang moved to the wooden couch and sat down, put his hands on Zheng Pu's temples and gently kneaded them with his fingertips.

This is a habit that the two have developed over the years of their marriage.

Whenever Zheng Pu went home and shut himself in the study, she would always come to rub his head to relieve his fatigue, and casually inform him about the current situation at home or some daily trivial matters.

Today is no exception.

After kneading for a while, Zhang Yan said softly, "I have prepared all the presents for my nephew and niece, as well as the brothers and children of my cousins. I just went to check them again. There is nothing missing."

"Um"

With a slight nasal sound, Zheng Pu raised his head slightly, stretched out his hand and tore off the hair scarf, making it easier for Zhang Yan to massage.

Unexpectedly, this action made Zhang Yan's movements stagnate for a long time.

She suddenly discovered that Zheng Pu, who had just entered his thirties, had a lot of hair roots that had already started to wither, yellow and stained with frost.

Those who work hard hurt their bodies, and those who work hard hurt their spirits.

Perhaps, people in the world have only seen Zheng Pu's official position has been continuously promoted over the years, and feel that he has been favored by the prime minister and he is close to the emperor, but the price behind it is that he is rarely able to return home from one year old to the end, and he is often alone in the house after returning. In the study room, she was the only one who understood the hardships of contemplating and meditating on the map.

"what happened?"

Facing Zheng Pu, who didn't know why Zhang Yan was speechless, he raised his body and opened his eyes to ask questions.

"Nothing else."

Zhang Yan, who had woken up, chuckled lightly, gently pressed Zheng Pu to lie down, and said softly, "I just thought about my husband for a long time, and I haven't returned to the mulberry garden. There are more than ten brothers and children, and I don't know if my husband will return." Can you tell the difference between them?"

"Hehe, Xijun, don't underestimate me."

Hearing this, Zheng Pu closed his eyes again, and said vigorously, "It's just a dozen or so people, An Neng can't tell them? When I supervised the army in the early years, all the soldiers of the three schools under my command could call out their names."

"Do your best!"

Clenching his fist and lightly tapping his shoulder and cursing with a smile, Zhang Yanfang continued to deal with trivial matters in the family.

"Brother Zhong's eldest son will be over a month later, and my husband can't wait for the meeting, so I prepared some rituals first, and I have told Zheng Yiyi to send them off in due time."

"Um"

"After my husband came back from Jiangdong, when my sister and I went to the prime minister's house, we also sent all the things entrusted by General Wu. The prime minister's wife sent a retinue to send some cloth weaved by me yesterday as a thank you. I would like to take it home. Sangyuan and my aunt (mother-in-law) make new clothes."

"it is good."

"Yuan Ji just sent someone to tell her that she has been allowed by her family to return to the mulberry garden with her husband the next day."

Yuanji is the younger sister Zheng Yan.

As a married woman, if she wants to return to the province, she must first ask for permission from her husband's family.

"So good."

"By the way, just now a guard from the Imperial Palace sent a armor and a sharp blade, which was given to Gongyuan by the emperor. Now that Gongyuan's achievements have not been revealed, the emperor asked my husband to carry it to Long right."

"it is good."

Talking softly and chattering, making the curling sandalwood smoke even more soft and elegant.

And Zheng Pu, who was tired at first, didn't know whether he was listening to the gossip of these parents inadvertently, or his head and shoulders were kneaded for a while to drive away the tiredness, and he sat up.

Afterwards, Zhang Yan was pressed down on the couch amidst a sound of shock.

She also looked ashamed, stopped with her hand, and said in a low voice with a little annoyance, "Husband, it's not dark yet!"

"Hey, no problem."

Zheng Pu, who was full of bad intentions, grinned, and said with relief, "Your Excellency knows, no one dares to disturb the study."

However, sometimes things don't go as planned.

Just when Zheng Pu was about to move further, Qiyacuo, the subordinate who was used to guarding the small courtyard outside the study, happened to send a loud request for instructions into the room at this time.

"My lord, I have a visitor."

It also made Zheng Pu stunned for a moment.

"Hee hee~~~"

Zhang Yan, who was slightly messed up, snickered.

Taking the opportunity to break free and straighten his appearance, he shoved him in embarrassment, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up to treat the guests!"

call!
Heaving a sigh of indignation, Zheng Pu also helplessly tidied up his slightly messy clothes, and shouted angrily, "Who is it that comes to visit at this time!"

Perhaps, I could hear the annoyance in Zheng Pu's voice~
The servant, Qiyacuo, paused for a while before lowering his voice to report, "Back to Sir, this person claims to be under the command of General Empress, and is ordered to protect the staff recruited by Lord Lang in Wu County."

Deng Zhi's followers?
The staff I recruited in Wu County? !
