After returning to Piaoyun Pavilion, Li Hanyan, Zi Yuan and other four maids were chatting in the front yard. When they saw Zhao Xuanyi coming back, they all came over to greet him.
"Husband, you are back!" Li Hanyan is very happy. Now she can only see Zhao Xuanyi once every half a month. Li Hanyan is in a good mood!
After Zhao Xuanyi dismounted, he nodded slightly.
"What are you doing?"
"I just finished my martial arts practice and I'm thinking about going out for a while. Isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? I heard it's very lively outside and I want to go take a look!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded.
"Just in time, I'll go there to buy some new year's goods later. I'll go to the General's Mansion with you later to deliver them to my father-in-law!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he led Aoxue to the backyard!
Li Hanyan blocked Zhao Xuanyi's way and forced a smile on her face
"Husband? How about we go together? We haven't gone shopping together for a long time!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled and waved.
"I drank some wine with my father at noon, and I'm a little tired. I'm going to take a rest first. When you come back, we will go to the General's Mansion!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he took Aoxue and left without waiting for Li Hanyan to speak.
"Huh?" Li Hanyan still wanted to keep Zhao Xuanyi, but Zhao Xuanyi didn't seem to want to say anything more to Li Hanyan. Li Hanyan thought that her relationship with Zhao Xuanyi would change after Tang Rou disappeared, but now it seems that she is not as close as before. Li Hanyan can't tell now whether Tang Rou's leaving is good or bad for her!
Zhao Xuanyi put Aoxue back into the room, returned to the main room, lay on the bed and began to rest. It seemed that he hadn't drank for a long time. He couldn't find a reason and didn't want to be drunk. He slowly closed his eyes. It was very quiet at this moment. It was quiet. Zhao Xuanyi couldn't hear anything anymore and didn't want to hear anything.
Li Hanyan went to the streets, with Qinglian and Lizhi following her, but Ziyuan stayed. She missed Zhao Xuanyi very much, missed Zhao Xuanyi holding her, missed Zhao Xuanyi whispering in her ear, missed Zhao Xuanyi pestering her every night. Let her sleep.
But more than two months have passed, and he and Zhao Xuanyi have not spoken more than five sentences. Now if Zhao Xuanyi has anything to do, he directly asks Xiao Xing or Cheng Ling to handle it. Even if he uses a servant, Zhao Xuanyi is not willing to see him.
And during this period of time, Zhao Xuanyi has basically never had contact with girls, neither outside nor at home. Zhao Xuanyi is like a monk who has seen through the world, doing this fixed job every day and never being tempted by the outside world. attracted.
To outsiders, Zhao Xuanyi seems to be the good man who has changed his ways and turned back. He no longer goes out to have fun or mess around with beauties, and is busy with his career every day. However, under his leadership, Qilin Guard has indeed done good!
But only those who are familiar with Zhao Xuanyi know that he is really sad this time! Zi Yuan came to Zhao Xuanyi's yard and was stopped by Shen Wei as soon as he stepped into the gate.
"Miss Ziyuan, what's the matter?" Ziyuan raised her head and looked at Shen Wei. Before she could speak, her eyes were gradually turning red.
"Brother Shen, I want to meet my uncle!" After hearing this, Shen Wei took a deep breath
"Trust me, now is not the time!"
"It's been so long, why hasn't he? He doesn't even pay attention to me. I know what I said was a bit excessive, but it's been so long, why doesn't he forgive me?" Zi Yuan felt very painful. It's not like the two of them had never quarreled before, but the cold war would never last more than three days at most. It's been almost three months now, and there has been no improvement at all. This made Zi Yuan panic. She was afraid that the two of them would be like this in the future. Got it!
Shen Wei shook his head
"Actually, you know, I don't want to meddle in other people's business! But you went too far this time. The young master treats you many times better than the young lady. He thought he could get your heart, but after you knew about Tang Rou, you didn't give it to him. Any chance!”
"For a while, the entire Li family treated him as an outsider, and secretly threatened the young master. If he dared to act mischievously outside again, they would take back his Qilin Guards! They knew very well how much effort the young master had spent and how much he had used. The Qilin Guard was trained in a unique way, so I threaten you!"
"At this moment, the young master feels like a dog of the Li family. They are happy to give you some bones, but unhappy, hum! You can't even drink the soup. At this time, the young master goes to pick you up, because he can only give you some bones." You brought it back, but you stand with the Li family!"
"At that moment, the young master felt that there was no one around him. You were all standing together, and everyone grabbed the chain tightly. Yes, the young master could not resist the temptation and found a woman outside, but I I don’t feel that he betrayed the young lady, the two of them were a fake couple, weren’t they?”
"And you also betrayed the young master. You stood with the Li family and wanted to be his master! I think it was also at that time that the young master discovered that you did not love him. You loved the Li family more. In your You don't have to worry about the young master in your heart, but you have to protect the Li family, right?" Shen Wei asked softly.
When Zi Yuan heard Shen Wei's words, her tears fell down and she was so choked that she could not speak.
"Now that the young master has become what you all like, he doesn't go out to fool around and is busy with official duties every day. Why are you... why are you not satisfied? Is it only possible to have the young master kneel in front of you and learn to wag his tail like a dog every day to beg for mercy?" "Zi Yuan, treat him as a human being!" After Shen Wei finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his room!
At this time, Zi Yuan had already burst into tears, and the world was spinning for a moment. At first, she was just angry that Zhao Xuanyi found a woman outside, but she didn't expect that her anger would lead to Zhao Xuanyi who closed his heart. What made Zi Yuan collapse was that she I can't find the key to open it, what should I do?
What should I do? Li Hanyan came back after buying a lot of things, and she was very happy to organize them, including red lanterns, colorful lanterns, uneaten snacks, and some good tea. Li Hanyan came to Zhao Xuanyi with joy and saw Zi Yuan standing in the yard. in a daze at the gate.
Li Hanyan came over
"Sister Ziyuan, what are you doing here?"
"Miss? I... didn't do anything! I just looked at Aoxue!" Zi Yuan said casually.
"Go and call Xuanyi over. Let's go home and give gifts to father and mother!"
"Yes!" After receiving Li Hanyan's order, Zi Yuan stepped into the courtyard and outside the familiar room. Zi Yuan stretched out her hands and gently pushed the door open.
After entering the room, I saw that the furnishings in the room had not changed. A familiar feeling echoed in my mind, as if I had not been back for a long time!
When she came to the bedside and saw Zhao Xuanyi resting, Zi Yuan felt mixed emotions in her heart. Why didn't she see the scar in Zhao Xuanyi's heart before?
Maybe I still haven't given him all my love.
"Uncle? Uncle? Wake up!" Zi Yuan said softly. Zhao Xuanyi slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his eyes after standing up. If it were normal, Zhao Xuanyi would have held him in his arms at this time, with his hands up and down. Zhao Xuanyi would not let him go without blushing. But now, Zhao Xuanyi is just silent He looked at Ziyuan.
"Is something wrong?"
"Miss... is back and invites you to the general's mansion!" Zi Yuan said with a disappointed look on her face.
"Oh! Let's go!" Zhao Xuanyi stood up and walked outside. Zi Yuan followed behind. Looking at Zhao Xuanyi's back, Zi Yuan mustered up the courage to ask.
"My uncle is coming back this time, but will he leave after the new year?"
"Leave tomorrow! I'll deliver all the New Year's goods to my father and father-in-law today, so there won't be anything going on in the house. I'll go back to the military camp tomorrow!" Zhao Xuanyi said calmly.
Zi Yuan was shocked, leaving tomorrow?
"It's almost Chinese New Year, aren't you at home?"
"Oh, by the way! I'm celebrating the New Year in the military camp with my brothers from the Qilin Guards. You and Han Yan should go back to the General's Mansion. There are so many people!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he stopped talking!
At this moment, Zi Yuan's heart felt like thousands of needles stabbing her. Zi Yuan was so hurt that she didn't know what to do. Has he really become so indifferent?
Aren't you at home during the Chinese New Year? Isn't there anything here that makes him miss it? Zhao Xuanyi blew the whistle, and Aoxue slowly walked out of her room. Her face full of disgust seemed to say, "Didn't you just come back?"
Still going there? Can't you just let me have a good rest? After Zhao Xuanyi grabbed Aoxue, he gently patted Aoxue's cheek.
"Don't look at me like that. I'll give you an apple when I get to the General's Mansion later!" Forget it, for Apple's sake!
Zhao Xuanyi rode on Aoxue, and Shen Wei followed behind. When he came to the door of Piaoyun Pavilion, he saw Li Hanyan preparing a whole cart of new year's goods. After seeing it, Shen Wei thought to himself, the young lady has also learned the skills of the young master, and the prodigal family !
"Are these for your father-in-law?" Zhao Xuanyi asked softly.
"Yes! These are all useful, this tea, and mother's favorite snacks, the second brother said before...?" Li Hanyan was introducing it enthusiastically, while Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand casually.
"Okay, let's go when you're ready!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a dull look on his face. This cart of things doesn't cost much money, so he can afford it!
Li Hanyan was obviously less interested after being interrupted, but before she could speak, Zhao Xuanyi had already ridden Aoxue ten meters away!
Li Hanyan got on her horse and hurriedly chased Zhao Xuanyi. The three maids hurriedly drove the carriage and walked towards the general's mansion together. Shen Wei looked at Cheng Ling
"You make the decision on everything in the house!"
"Yes!" Cheng Ling nodded, and then looked at Zhao Xuanyi in the distance. Even Cheng Ling felt that Zhao Xuanyi seemed to have changed, became...transparent!
After Li Hanyan caught up with Zhao Xuanyi, she hurriedly said
"I also bought you a new dress, so you can change into it during the Chinese New Year!"
"Let's talk about it!" Zhao Xuanyi didn't know what he was thinking in his head, his eyes were a little dull, and he let Aoxue lead him away!
After arriving at the General's Mansion, Li Hanrui heard that Zhao Xuanyi was back and hurriedly brought Liu Bo out to greet him. He was very happy after seeing Zhao Xuanyi.
"Brother-in-law, sister, are back!"
"Second brother!" Zhao Xuanyi greeted with a smile.
"Look at you, come back as soon as you come back, and you brought so many things!" Li Hanrui said with a smile.
"Han Yan chose them all!" Zhao Xuanyi said. Li Hanrui looked at Li Hanyan and laughed.
"My sister has grown up! Liu Bo, let someone take it in and tell his father that his brother-in-law and sister are back!"
"yes!"
"Come on, come on, let's chat slowly in the mansion!" Li Hanrui warmly welcomed Zhao Xuanyi and Li Hanyan into the mansion, and then came to the hall, where the three of them sat down and chatted!
When Li Yukun heard that Zhao Xuanyi was back, he hurriedly walked to the front hall. This son-in-law was a busy man now and could not see him more than once a month. After coming to the hall, the family laughed and chatted.
"Son-in-law, is it very busy in Qilin Guard recently?" Li Yukun asked with a smile.
"There are some. Because Zhang Han's side is short of manpower, the needed materials have been delayed. Only a hundred Tianyi bows have been made, and only two hundred pieces of the iron ring soft mail armor I want have been made! Half of the equipment Even the Qilin Guards are not enough!" After hearing this, Li Yukun couldn't help but nod.
"I've also heard about this, but there's nothing we can do about it. These things can only be made by the most trusted people. We don't trust outsiders. Those who are trustworthy and skilled are naturally not many, so you should be more understanding. one time!"
"Yes! Xuanyi understands!" Zhao Xuanyi said respectfully. Li Yukun turned to look at Li Hanrui
"Have you received any letters from your elder brother recently? Is it so quiet on the border?"
"Eldest brother wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that everything is normal and father doesn't need to worry about it!" Li Hanrui said with a smile. It is a good thing that the country is peaceful and the people love it!
"But Tatar has been so quiet recently, why does it make me feel uneasy?" Li Yukun said with some worry.
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, who doesn't want to have a good New Year?" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"That's right! Come on, the food and wine should be ready. Let's go have a drink!" Li Yukun brought several children to the table next door.
Just when he came to the room, Zhao Xuanyi found that Shen Wei's face became very frightened, and his eyes were looking at him, as if he had something to say, but it was inconvenient to say it out!
Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, what's wrong with this guy? Got a bad stomach? After Zhao Xuanyi sat on the table, his eyes widened instantly. There were eight dishes on the table. Zhao Xuanyi didn't pay attention to them, but the two jars of wine on the table made Zhao Xuanyi stunned!
