It was already midday when the county temple hall saw off its last visitor.
The skinny clerk glanced carefully at Zhao Yun, who was sitting at the top, and touched his flat belly.
The bean porridge, vegetables and melon in the morning have been digested, and now my stomach is empty.
Look at the sun, there is still half a day left before the evening meal, and there is still time to go.
He sighed, and just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
It is the aroma of cooked grains and the smell of rice dumpling leaves.
The clerk suddenly became energetic and looked at the door of the hall.
In the hall, there were not a few people who acted in the same way as him.
Even Zhao Yun looked up and Xia Houlan stood up directly.
Xin Shi walked to the corridor kicking and was about to make a report. When he looked up, he saw a few pairs of eyes looking at him eagerly.
"Captain Zhao, we cooked some corn millet in the big kitchen..." Xin Shi said hesitantly with so many eyes staring at her, "If everyone is busy, I will come back later."
"No, no, no, you're here just in time." Xia Houlan hurriedly came out of the corridor and hugged Xin Shi's shoulders.
"It seems that Xiahou Sima is hungry." Xin Shi laughed and hurriedly waved to several official slaves behind him who were carrying things to come in.
A bowl of clear porridge was served in front of each clerk. Two horn millets were placed on a plate, and some shredded eggplant and melon with coarse salt were served next to it.
Knowing that there was something to eat, the clerks packed up the slips in front of them early.
The clerk who had been secretly groping before was the first to clear the case.
When the official slave brought the food, he eagerly held the bowl with both hands and took a sip. Then he put the bowl down, peeled off a corner of the millet, and took a big bite.
These are all made in the main house of Lone Bamboo Manor, and there is no shortage of rice. Therefore, the contents are all finely sifted millet, without any husks or wheat crumbs.
The millet is also soaked in honey water, making it naturally delicious.
Seeing that the little official was eating deliciously, everyone in the hall no longer thought about it and raised their chopsticks.
The clerks ate delicious food, but Zhao Yun didn't have it in front of him.
Xin Shi walked forward with a smile and said softly: "Captain Zhao, if you are done with your work, you can go back to the backyard to eat."
This is what the young lady specifically told him to tell him before he came.
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then his heart felt hot.
Xia Houlan held up half a corner of millet that she had taken a bite out of and hit Zhao Yun with her hand: "I will be on duty in the hall this afternoon. You go and have something to eat."
The word "good" was deliberately emphasized in tone.
After saying this, he and Xin Shi looked at each other and smiled.
"Then I'll have you to repair it." Zhao Yun was not polite to him, so he stood up and said a few words before leaving.
However, Xia Houlan grabbed her sleeve, pulled her closer and whispered: "Go back to the hospital and change your clothes first. Just wear the black one."
Xia Houlan put her arms around Zhao Yun's neck and said, "I still have a few gold cakes in my pillow box. You can take them."
"There is a gathering next to the wet water in the county in the afternoon. You can take her there. There will be delicious and fun things to eat. You can buy whatever she sees."
Xia Houlan felt that she was very worried. She was young and had no experience in matters between men and women.
When he was in Changshan, he talked about the champion and said that the Xiongnu were not destroyed, so why should we take care of our family?
But Huo Qiaoqi asked the man to guard the border and defend the country to calm down the troubled times, but he did not let the man stay away from love.
Although the little lady in the backyard often has a bad temper, she is also petty and jealous, and occasionally gets into trouble.
But the rest of his appearance, family background, character, and appearance are all top-notch in the world.
Zilong should also take the initiative and change his overly calm, old man-like temperament.
"No need, I have it myself." Zhao Yun listened carefully to Xia Houlan's suggestion, but finally refused the gold cake in Xia Houlan's pillow box.
"Okay, I still don't know your temperament?"
The county government officials had not been paid their salaries for a long time, so not only the county government treasury, but also the money in Zhao Yun's own pocket was leaked.
Xia Houlan pulled Zhao Yun closer and whispered in his ear: "Don't look at that little lady who is usually friendly and not picky. She was raised by General Gongsun and pampered in his hand. She was truly pampered.
Girl."
"When you go to the market and buy whatever you want to eat, you can't ask her to endure it or pay for it yourself, right?"
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then he thought seriously for a while.
"Zixiu's words make sense." He expressed his thanks with a serious expression.
Not only at this time, but also in the future, although Mrs. Gongsun lacked nothing, he could not ignore it just because she did not lack it.
"Girls who don't like gifts are just a stone on the roadside. As long as you are sincere, they will also like it."
Zhao Yun nodded seriously after hearing this. He wrote down the gift.
When he was young, Xia Houlan, who was well-known and popular in Changshan Junior High School, carefully explained some words to Zhao Yun.
In the past, Zhao Yun would not discuss these topics with him. I don't know what happened last night, but the old tree blossomed and the dead branches sprouted buds.
At this time, the place did not allow it, so Xia Houlan had to hug his shoulders and give a few careful words before hurriedly urging him to go.
Looking at Zhao Yun's hurried away figure, Xia Houlan stuffed the remaining morsel of millet in his hand into his mouth and suddenly laughed out loud.
Zhao Yun hurried back to his room, carefully and quickly fetched water from the well to wash himself again, and put on the regular clothes custom-made for him by Gongsun Yan.
Although Zhao Yun appears as a white-robed young general in the eyes of later generations, when Gongsun Yan ordered clothes for him, he still liked to see him in soap color, which made him feel safe.
After cleaning up, Zhao Yun came to the door of the next courtyard.
The person on duty was Wang Wu. Seeing that it was Zhao Yun coming, Wang Wu turned aside and opened the door.
No one was walking around in the yard. Zhao Yun gradually approached the door, and even he became a little nervous unconsciously.
last night……
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a small group squatting next to the door.
Gongsun Cheng squatted side by side with the puppy, looking dejected that did not suit his age.
Seeing Zhao Yun coming, he rushed towards him as if he had found a savior. However, his legs were numb from squatting and he stumbled and almost fell down.
Zhao Yun stepped forward, took him in his hands, and held him skillfully in his arms.
"Sister..." Gongsun Cheng pursed his lips.
Zhao Yun Yiling asked what had happened, and then heard Gongsun Chengwa cry out, "Sister, I'm so slow!"
He agreed to go to the market, but he waited at the door from morning until now. Even later, the market would be closed.
Zhao Yun held him in his arms without knowing why, patted his back, and was about to knock on the door when he heard a clear female voice inside: "A Cheng, please be patient."
“Patience will pay off.”
A female voice spoke inside the door while opening the door.
Zhao Yun lowered his head and looked, and the girl in a snow-green dress appeared in front of him unexpectedly.
The sun shone slantly on her face, and her face, which had never been painted with makeup, seemed to be smeared with makeup, but it seemed like there was no makeup at all.
Indeed, patience will pay off.
Zhao Yun thought as he looked at the girl who was so beautiful that his heart trembled.
"You're here." Even though he was dressed carefully, Gongsun Yan was still a little shy when he suddenly appeared in front of him like this, and pursed his lips.
"Well, here we come." Zhao Yun lowered his eyes, his eyes unconsciously falling on the moist cherry lips, and his eyes suddenly became deep.
The two stood facing each other under the verandah surrounded by flowers.
Gongsun Cheng lay on Zhao Yun's shoulder, looked around, and saw that the two of them were still motionless, so he cried again.
