Dressed as a peasant girl, she pampered the powerful villain

The dining hall is simple, with uniform colors, and the room is brightly lit by candlelight.

A large stove was set up around it, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly. The incense burner on the table had a faint fragrance of atractylodes.

Wang Shuyan took off his fox fur and scanned it around.

"Give it to me!" Zhang Jiulin reached out to her.

Wang Shuyan handed him the fox fur in his hand.

The fox fur in his hand was taken away by Zhang Jiulin and placed gently on a seat, stacked with his fox fur.

He opened the window lattice a crack to disperse the charcoal gas in the room. After doing this, he returned to his seat and poured her a cup of hot tea.

Wang Shuyan didn't show the slightest restraint as a guest, and just walked around the house minding his own business.

It's nothing special, and I don't know what the attic is usually used for.

Zhang Jiulin walked to the tea stove, poured a cup of tea into the tea cup, and called her over: "Longan tea, warm yourself up first."

Wang Shuyan stepped forward and sat down, took a sip and put it down with a frown and disgust: "It doesn't taste good." It's not to make things difficult, it really doesn't taste good.

Zhang Jiulin gave her a confused look, poured out a glass and took a sip. His handsome eyebrows were furrowed and he nodded: "It's true, there's too little licorice and too much longan. It really doesn't taste good. Don't drink this. I'll cook plum blossoms for you." Tea bar."

Wang Shuyan smiled and said, "Just give me a glass of water. I'm not picky."

Aren't you picky yet? Zhang Jiulin felt that someone did not have a clear understanding of him, so he seriously promised: "Try it, I guarantee it will taste good."

There were only two people in the dining hall. He personally poured out the original tea ingredients. After rinsing it with clean water, he took out a small porcelain bottle, which contained the plum blossom cores he collected when the whole flower was not blooming. He poured out ten The flower core is placed in the generous palm, and then thrown into the pot. When the hot water is poured, the flower core slowly unfolds, and the cold floral fragrance hits the nose.

Zhang Jiulin still has the clean aura after cleansing. He is wearing plain brocade clothes. He has an outstanding appearance, and he can dress in plain clothes to look like an immortal. Perhaps he has to learn etiquette since he was a child, and his every move is impressive. I find it pleasing to the eye.

He placed the freshly brewed plum blossom tea in front of her and said with confidence: "Try again, this is my best tea."

Wang Shuyan took it, smelled it and stretched his brows, took a sip and then another sip, and finally finished the drink and praised: "It tastes good."

There was no perfunctoryness, no sincerity, not even superfluous nice words, but satisfaction could be heard from her directness.

Zhang Jiulin poured her another glass and said with a smile, "Then have another drink."

There was a light knock on the door.

"Come in."

The two leading soldiers brought the food in and then respectfully left.

Dinner had been prepared early, including stewed medicinal food to dispel cold and nourishing food, as well as a stewed tofu with wild vegetables and a pot of white rice.

With such conditions at the border, Wang Shuyan could tell that he had put a lot of thought into it.

Zhang Jiulin served the soup to her personally, "There is no meaty taste in it that you hate. The wild yams here are good. Eat more."

The two of them had eaten together several times, and he found that Wang Shuyan's food was on the lighter side and he didn't like fishy food.

Wang Shuyan didn't hesitate and opened her mouth to eat, mainly because she was really hungry.

Zhang Jiulin knew that she had a big appetite, but he didn't expect that her belly could hold it so well that she actually ate three full bowls of rice.

He was influenced by her to have an appetite and ate a lot more. The two of them remained silent in tacit agreement.

Zhang Jiulin saw that she just wanted to eat, so he didn't speak.

Wang Shuyan did have something to ask him, but she was too hungry and didn't want to use her brain.

For a moment, the only sounds in the quiet dining hall were the sound of two people chewing and the sound of food utensils touching when picking up food.

Zhang Jiulin looked at her and inexplicably remembered the scene of him having dinner with his relatives at home.

There seems to be some difference.

In the house, dining with relatives is a very heavy and noisy affair. There are always my father's crazy words and his inexplicable violent curses. In the end, except for important holidays, everyone eats separately.

From loud noises to silence. The silence of one person is different from the silence of two people.

It's a little more pyrotechnics.

Thinking of the official document sent by Zhao Qian, Zhang Jiulin raised his head with a solemn expression: "When King Rong's soldiers came in, I was very busy. Thank you for helping me defend Tongzhou County."

In fact, he couldn't calculate the time when King Rong's soldiers came in at that time. In the end, they still appeared when he was not around.

Fortunately, everything was safe!

Wang Shuyan didn't expect him to be so solemn. After thinking about it, he explained: "You are wrong. The people around me and your jade pendant are all yours. Without your arrangements, the day would have been unpredictable."

Although Zhang Jiulin was not there that day, every aspect was inseparable from him.

She knew that he had made many efforts to protect Tongzhou County.

Zhang Jiulin gave her a piece of tofu, curled his lips and said, "Zhao Qian said that you are the first to make a contribution, and I will help you report to the imperial court for a reward."

Mentioning Zhao Qian, Wang Shuyan remembered that he had not replied to Duan Li in the past month, and couldn't help but sneer: "Duan Li said that there has been no news from you. I thought you died in the battle?"

This was the truth. She had indeed doubted whether Zhang Jiulin was dead. Later, she assumed that it was snowing because of it.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qian's official documents had been received a long time ago, but there was no reply to Duan Li.

When she thought of this, she became inexplicably angry.

Zhang Jiulin's eyes were smiling, and he heard another meaning: "What if I really die?"

Wang Shuyan looked at him and smiled, and answered very seriously: "Then train Yuan Zheng to be my right-hand man, and earn money for me to repay the kindness of raising him."

The red spots on her face were like flowers painted on her face, and her smile was bewitching and bewitching.

Zhang Jiulin didn't hear what he wanted to hear, and he poured cold water on him with some dissatisfaction: "You should give up. He is the emperor's grandson. I will take him back when the time comes."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Wang Shuyan asked, "How long?"

Zhang Jiulin's brows were solemn: "The decree will arrive tomorrow."

"Didn't you tell Yuan Zheng to fake his death? Why did Yuan Zheng have to return to Kyoto as soon as the decree came?" Wang Shuyan was puzzled.

Zhang Jiulin: "I did this to protect Yuan Zheng's safety. The fake death was for the people who assassinated Yuan Zheng. I did not report it to the court."

Wang Shuyan: "What about Yuan Zheng's father? Didn't Yuan Zheng say he is dead?"

Zhang Jiulin looked at her without saying anything, and then said after hesitation: "He can't die yet."

Wang Shuyan didn't understand. Is Yuan Zheng's father alive or dead?

Zhang Jiulin knew from Duan Li's letter that her concern for Yuan Zheng was genuine. He felt relieved and reassured her: "Don't worry, Yuan Zheng will not be in danger. I will do my best to protect him."

Wang Shuyan didn't say anything else. He remembered something and pulled out a stack of silver notes and pushed it in front of him, "This is the money you earned from your mother's dowry shop. It will cost a lot of money when you get to the capital. You can take care of the flowers yourself. I will send them regularly." I’m giving it to you, don’t worry about money, just spend it when you need to.”

Zhang Jiulin looked at the banknote in astonishment. There was at least one thousand taels in it.

Although she had said before that she would earn the money and he only had to be responsible for killing King Rong and Emperor Wei, it was a bit awkward when she actually delivered the money to his door.

It's hard to describe this feeling. It feels a bit like being slapped by her, but also feels like being pampered by her. In short, it's quite contradictory.

Wang Shuyan asked funnyly: "What? We agreed at the beginning, but now it's too hot to spend the money I earned?"

Zhang Jiulin nodded: "A little bit."

Wang Shuyan was amused by his sincerity and explained: "You don't have to think too much. The orders for the patent medicines are so stable because of your efforts. You also reminded me of the snow disaster. I heard that King Rong died too. The money I earn now is all It has nothing to do with you, so just think of it as the first share of our business cooperation."

Is it really a money transaction?

There was no embarrassment on Zhang Jiulin's face. He looked at the silver coins on the table thoughtfully: "Otherwise, will you open a restaurant in Kyoto?"

Wang Shuyan's expression lit up: "Okay!"

Zhang Jiulin: "...I'll make arrangements for you!" (End of Chapter)
