The weather in June is the hottest time. Because Huan Ci was in confinement, there was no ice in the house, so it was extremely hot.
Saoye frowned as soon as he came in. After scanning around, he quickly saw Huan Ci at the table.
His movement was not small, so Huan Ci naturally heard it, raised his eyelids, took a look, and suddenly smiled.
Sao Ye looked down at his tightly wrapped left arm and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"You are really brothers in distress." Huan Ci walked up to him and teased.
Saoye hurriedly bent down and made a humble gesture: "I don't dare to call the third master brother."
"Well, I've been asleep for a while, why don't you sit and wait." Huan Ci glanced towards the inner room and said.
Only then did Sao Ye realize that he had arrived abruptly. Although he was not unaware of Fu Shen's plot before, Fu Shen had disappeared for so long, and he thought something was wrong. He felt relieved when he heard that the third master was coming here yesterday.
, and quickly sent someone to report the news to Huan Ci.
Thinking of this, Sao Ye secretly looked at Huan Ci. I heard that the woman made a scene yesterday and scolded the people he sent. She looks much better today.
"Young man, go wait outside." He said with cupped hands. It was very hot in this room, so it would be better to go sit in the side hall for a while.
Huan Ci was about to nod when he suddenly heard a muffled cough coming from the room. The two of them looked at the inner room at the same time and saw that Fu Shen had sat up, but his face was not good. He was covering his chest with one hand and his eyes were still tight.
close.
"Third Master, have you suffered internal injuries?"
After all, he was a martial arts practitioner, so Sao Ye immediately sensed something was wrong.
Huan Ci glanced at him when he heard this, then hurried to Fu Shen's side and stared at him intently: "Really?"
Fu Shen took a deep breath, walked past Huan Ci towards the main room on a crutch, cut out the leaves, poured himself a full cup of tea, moistened his throat and said, "It's okay, I'm much better now.
"
Where would it be better? It sounds very serious. Sao Ye Xin said.
But just now Fu Shen had already given him a look, and he didn't say the words. He walked over in a few steps and whispered: "It'll be nice if Third Master comes back."
"Thank you for your hard work these days." Fu Shen patted his shoulder and consoled him.
Saoye glanced at him, shook his head with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter, Madam is the hardest worker."
"Yeah." Fu Shen nodded and turned to look at Huan Ci, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Huan Ci was lying on the edge of the cradle looking at Chen'er. Suddenly he raised his head in surprise when he heard these words. Only then did he realize that Fu Shen was talking to her. "Didn't Brother Kong say that he had people prepare meals?"
He asked with a frown.
Fu Shen raised his lips and smiled softly: "I think we should find an opportunity to thank him and Li Jinxiu."
"Yes, it's just that it's inconvenient for me right now. Why don't you go outside and invite me?" Huan Ci suggested.
"It's not convenient to be a husband now." Fu Shen teased.
Huan Ci curled his lips and took out Chen'er, who had just woken up, from the cradle. The little girl's eyes were rolling around, and her fingers only grasped Huan Ci's hair.
"Chen'er is awake?" Fu Shen asked from a distance.
Huan Ci couldn't care less about him. Chen'er must be hungry because he kept humping her.
"You go out first and find someone to stay in a house here temporarily. You can't live in someone else's house forever." Fu Shen said to Saoye.
Saoye had already seen the situation in the inner room. He lowered his head and pretended not to know anything. After hearing Fu Shen's words, he hurriedly said yes. After a moment, he raised his head in confusion: "Third Master, are you going to stay here forever?"
"As little as two months, as much as half a year." Fu Shen said.
Saoye frowned, but didn't ask any more questions. He excused himself and hurried out.
Huan Ci lowered the curtain in the inner room and then untied his robe. At this time, the sound of the cane hitting the ground got closer and closer. For some reason, Huan Ci felt panicked.
When the curtain was opened, Huan Ci glanced at the man resentfully, with a hint of red on his earlobes: "What are you doing in here?"
Fu Shen smiled charmingly and approached her step by step, but his look was a bit funny.
"You seem like a fool now." Huan Ci couldn't help laughing.
Unexpectedly, the fool actually dropped the crutch in his hand and sat next to her, staring straight into her face.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see that I was busy?" Huan Ci quickly turned his back to block his view.
Suddenly, the man put his arm around her waist and whispered coquettishly in her ear: "Madam, my husband is also hungry."
Huan Ci suddenly turned red with embarrassment and did not dare to move. After a while, he cursed angrily: "Fu Shen, you are just a scoundrel."
"My lady is right," the man said softly, his hot breath hitting Huan Ci's ear.
Huan Ci was covered in goosebumps because of him, and his head was buried even lower. He only dared to look down at Chen'er in his arms.
"Madam, can we serve food?"
The loud voice startled both of them. Fu Shencong pulled back his arm and sat upright, looking displeased at Zhao Yan who appeared without saying a word.
Huan Ci felt even more depressed. He handed the already full Chen'er to Fu Shen, put on his clothes carefully, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Let's put it on now, I happen to be hungry too."
After receiving the order, Zhao Jin hurriedly opened the curtain and went out. He shrugged when he reached a place where the two of them could not see him. The look in Fu Shen's face just now seemed to make her skin cramp. It seems that she should pay attention to some rules in the future.
In this room, Huan Ci pinched Fu Shen hard after Zhao Jin left, and scolded: "A Jin is still a girl, you should restrain yourself in front of her."
"She's not young anymore. Do you plan to let her follow you all the time?" Fu Shen asked.
Huan Ci clicked his tongue and his little face wrinkled up. It was naturally impossible to follow her all the time, but Zhao Jin didn't want to get married, and she had no family, so how could he forcefully send her away?
"What good arrangements do you have?"
"Do you think she is compatible with Fu Shen?" Fu Shen asked in a low voice.
Huan Ci frowned deeper when he heard this and looked at him from top to bottom: "Why did you change your gender after not seeing you for a month? Could it be that you were caught up in something unclean? Now you are actually being used as a pawn for others.
The matchmaker is here."
"Sao Ye mentioned this to me," Fu Shen said, gently shaking Chen'er.
Huan Ci looked at him in surprise: "When did it happen?"
"When I was in Jizhou."
"This is going to be difficult." Huan Ci raised his forehead and said, "Ajin is a visionary, and she is a good citizen now. She is just following me temporarily. Saoye is a slave, so I don't think this can be done."
"It's easy to talk about his identity. It's possible to help him get deregistered as a slave, but I'm afraid that King Xiang will be ruthless to the Dream Goddess." Fu Shen shook his head and said.
What he said made perfect sense. Huan Ci nodded up and down: "But we should also ask if Ajin is one of those women who indulge in love. Maybe she will have her own considerations."
"What would a woman who is not obsessed with love consider?" Fu Shen looked closely at her and asked.
Huan Ci snorted coldly. He must have done it on purpose, after all, she had abandoned him before considering other things.
The clinker man came over again and said quietly: "Aci, what will I do if I have nothing in the future?"
Huan Ci's heart tightened and she took a deep look at him. It turned out that he was actually worried, and she thought he really didn't care.
"You still have me, what are you afraid of?" She hugged the man's neck to comfort him.
*
On June 25th of the first year of Tianqi, the 24-year-old Emperor Zong Zhenglu of the Rong Kingdom finally gave birth to a son. However, it was rumored that his biological mother Liu was once a brothel girl, and everyone was talking about it.
When the news reached Jizhou, it was already June 27th. Huan Ci and Fu Shen moved to a small house. There were not many people living there now, but it was spacious enough.
Huan Ci was lying on the chaise longue, eating grapes leisurely. Now that Chen'er was staying with her nanny, she was very happy and free. Fu Shen could be said to be very leisurely these days, and his injuries were almost healed.
It’s just that it’s not very convenient to move around.
"Do you think it's possible for His Majesty to make him the crown prince?" Huan Ci asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son of the emperor would be born to Liu Rao. It seems that she does have some weight in Zong Zhenglu's eyes.
Fu Shen frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
"Why? I think he likes Liu Rao quite a lot."
"That's not who he is."
"What kind of person?" Huan Ci sat up and asked.
"I'm not an emotional person." Fu Shen explained softly.
Huan Ci frowned and looked at him: "Isn't it? Why do I think so? He sent Liu Rao to your house before, but he would find opportunities to have an affair with her. After Liu Rao became pregnant, he took her into the palace.
Later, the poison incident was settled, and now she is allowed to give birth to the emperor's eldest son. The royal family is most taboo about these things, and I don't believe he did this without his own intentions."
"Of course he has intentions, but that's all, there won't be more." Fu Shen lowered his voice and said.
It is indeed enough for the most ruthless emperor to indulge himself to this extent. Huan Ci nodded in agreement.
Outside the door, Zhao Jin opened the curtain and came in, holding several rolls of drawings in his hand. Huan Ci jumped up, she had already guessed what they were.
Zhao Jin shook his head with a smile and handed the drawing to her: "It was just sent over, and it will be brought to you immediately."
"Let me see how it goes." Huan Ci held the paper and walked to Fu Shen's side.
At this time, she specially asked someone to draw a picture, which was related to the construction of the academy. This was her most important thing now, and she often asked Fu Shen to help so that he could have something to do.
The two of them grabbed one end and slowly spread out the top paper, but the entire chaise longue could not fit in it.
"It's better than I thought." Huan Ci's eyes lit up.
She carefully swiped the silver coins in her hand, and then swiped Fu Shen's again, and then she realized that the man really didn't have any savings.
In the past, her father supported the army and respected himself, so he had a lot of money in his hands. Later, Zong Zhenglu also rewarded her a lot. In addition, she now has a house, but it will naturally cost a lot to rebuild the academy. She still has that
A little heartbreaking.
"From each school to the dormitory in the west, the dining hall, and the Johnson & Johnson Health Center you mentioned before, they are all marked on this map." Huan Ci looked carefully from left to right, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it.
The more excited I feel.
The academy was originally in good condition. Now it will probably not take long to renovate the original old building and build some new places.
"I really want to go back to Bingzhou now." Huan Ci muttered.
Zhao Yan smiled softly, spread out the other papers one by one, and said: "Look at these again, the drawings will be more detailed. You see you are so impatient, why not take a look at it earlier, if there is no problem I will send someone to send it
By annexing the state, the Arab League can start construction as soon as possible."
Huan Ci looked at them one after another and didn't think there was anything wrong. Most of them were drawn according to her instructions, and the rest was left to Ah Lian.
After a while, Huan Ci finally looked at them all. She put away the drawings carefully and said to Zhao Jin: "Let's send someone to send it to him now. Then tell him that I will go back in a while and let him take care of the house."
Clean up everything from top to bottom.”
"Don't worry, I know." Zhao Jin smiled and was about to go out.
Huan Ci turned his head and looked at Fu Shen's gaze, suddenly remembering the thing he mentioned before.
They were busy with the affairs of the academy these days, and as a result, both of them were unable to move. It was Zhao Juan and Lan Fu who were running around outside, and she had forgotten about it.
"Wait a minute, let me ask you something." Huan Ci took Zhao Jin to the study and asked in a low voice, "A Jin, do you have a man you like?"
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, then blinked and said, "No, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Huan Ci frowned and said with a smile: "Someone wants to ask me to be a matchmaker for you. Didn't I ask you what you think first?"
"Who is it?" Zhao Jin looked curious.
"Guess what." Huan Ci tentatively asked.
If she was interested in Sao Ye, she would probably still think of him.
The next moment, Zhao Jin asked loudly: "Are you sweeping the leaves?"
"It's indeed him. How did you guess it?" Huan Ci was a little surprised.
"He keeps staring at me these days, and often gives me things. He always asks about my health when he has nothing to do. Who else can I have besides him?"
"Then you-" Huan Ci didn't know how to ask.
Zhao Jin understood what she meant instantly, held her hand and said, "Don't worry about this, I have my own sense of discretion."
