From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 152

The morning sun shone all over the earth, sweeping away the traces left by the heavy rain last night. With the cool breeze, a new day came again.

The paper window could not lock the sound of birds singing. The people in the house had woken up, but they did not dare to open their eyes.

Zhou Yuan looked at Zhao Jianjia's trembling eyelashes, couldn't help laughing, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "It's time to get up."

Zhao Jianjia didn't say anything, but her breathing became rapid. It was obvious that she couldn't pretend anymore.

"Ah!"

She suddenly cried out softly, and hurriedly pressed Zhou Yuan's hand, anxiously saying, "No, I can't do it anymore."

Zhou Yuan squinted and smiled, "I thought you would continue to pretend to sleep."

Zhao Jianjia was embarrassed, her face flushed, and whispered, "Take your hands away, don't do anything bad."

She felt pain all over her body, but warm and comfortable, but she had no strength.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "My wife, I can touch her if I want."

Having said that, he still sat up, stretched, and said, "Wash up, the imperial edict should arrive today."

Zhao Jianjia said, "You...you go first, I'll get up."

"Tsk tsk, you're afraid I'll see, I looked carefully last night."

"Don't say it!"

Zhao Jianjia quickly covered his mouth, tears almost coming out: "You, you go!"

Zhao Jianjia, who is usually bold, is very shy in this regard, while Ningyue, who is usually timid, is very bold in this regard, willing to try anything and willing to satisfy Zhou Yuan.

After putting on a casual set of clothes, Zhou Yuan went to take a bath, and then sat down to consolidate his internal strength.

When he returned to the room, Zhao Jianjia had already washed up and changed into a simple and elegant set of clothes.

She was radiant, more beautiful than usual, and her hair tied up explained the meaning of being a married woman.

She was less lively, but more demure and gentle, with an inexplicable charm.

"Husband, let's eat."

Zhao Jianjia avoided Zhou Yuan's gaze as if nothing had happened, sat on the table, and handed Zhou Yuan chopsticks.

Zhou Yuan ate while chatting with Zhao Jianjia, and the two finally looked like a real couple.

"If His Majesty really sends you to the Central Plains, I want to go with you."

Zhao Jianjia said softly.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. The Central Plains is not like the two Jiangs. Bandits have been rampant there for many years. There are also natural disasters and famine. The situation is too complicated and too dangerous."

Zhao Jianjia said, "What does it matter? Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. Wherever you go, I should go."

"Before coming to Lin'an, my mother also told me that as a wife, I should help men take care of household chores so that men can work hard outside with peace of mind."

"I... Although I have no experience, I will learn to do it well."

Zhou Yuan was quite surprised. Didn't Zhao Jianjia's temperament change too quickly?

He couldn't help but said, "Jianjia, you don't have to be like this. You have your hair tied up and you want to be a good wife and mother. I'm not used to it."

"In fact, I hope you can be yourself. Do things according to who you are. This way, we can all be more comfortable."

Zhao Jianjia was obviously relieved, and then laughed softly, "I am a good wife, but I didn't think through many things before."

Zhou Yuan said, "Have you figured it out now?"

"Yeah."

"When? Was it because you were touched by saving Mr. Qiaoshan's family, or was I kidnapped by the Immortal Mother?"

Zhao Jianjia sighed and said, "Actually, it was not. It was after the battle that night that Miss Chu and the others woke me up."

She sighed, shook her head, and said, "They are all from good families and are all ladies, but they have encountered such terrible opportunities. It's really pitiful."

"After they knew I was your wife, They respect me in every way, take good care of me, and praise me for being lucky to have such a good husband like you."

"Some girls even told me that they wanted to stay and be your maid."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jianjia had tears in her eyes, and said softly: "When I saw their eyes, I suddenly realized that what my husband did was so meaningful and great."

"My husband saved many poor women and many poor people, but I have always been at odds with you and quarreled with you for some trivial reasons."

"I suddenly felt that I was so ignorant and so ridiculous and narrow-minded."

"After Miss Wanping heard our story, she said that I was just obsessed. She said that I didn't dislike you, I just didn't like the engagement that had trapped me for many years."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jianjia laughed and nodded: "Yes, I was enlightened and suddenly realized."

"I have never hated you, and I am not with you.You are not compatible, I just fell into a dead end of thinking, I just always hate that marriage contract that has given me endless troubles. "

"After recognizing these, I will naturally be happy. "

Zhou Yuan couldn't help shouting in his heart, Wanping, you did a great job! It's worth my saving you!

He took Zhao Jianjia's hand and smiled: "From now on, we will live a good life as husband and wife, do what we like, and don't compromise."

"Yeah!"

Zhao Jianjia's eyes sparkled, and she whispered: "I have thought about a lot, for example, I want to ask my husband for advice on poetry, and I admire my husband's talent very much."

Haha, forget it, I plagiarized, you are original, we can't compare.

As the two were chatting, Ziyuan ran in hurriedly and said: "Son-in-law, the angel is here, and the owner of the village invites you to come over. "

Zhou Yuan's face became solemn, and he hurried out.

When he arrived at the square, he found that a group of people were already kneeling.

A tall woman holding a yellow scroll said in a deep voice: "Jinyiwei Lin'an Prefecture Qianhu Suo Inspection Department Hundred Household Zhou Yuan, receive the order."

Zhou Yuan bowed and said: "Your humble servant receives the order."

The woman said: "The Emperor of Heaven and Mandate of Heaven, the decree says: Since the establishment of the Jin Dynasty for more than 400 years, the world has been blessed with good fortune, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the prosperity is obvious to all. This is due to the rule of the sage monarch, the ability of the ancestors of the Jin Chen family, the assistance of wise ministers, and the merits of the sages of all generations."

"Now the treacherous rebels, the two Jiangs are in chaos, and the imperial governor is assassinated. At the critical moment, Jinyiwei Hundred Household Zhou Yuan is smart and courageous, brave and decisive, investigates the unsolved cases, destroys the gambling houses, and cooperates with his superiors to attack the rebels. He can be said to be a loyal and good minister. ”

“If there are mistakes, they will be punished; if there are merits, they will be praised. Therefore, Zhou Yuan, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, is promoted to the commander of the Five Cities Military Department of Shenjing. After receiving the imperial edict, he will set off within five days. ”

“I hope you will not be arrogant or impatient, dare to take responsibility, work diligently, and perform your duties in Shenjing. I decree this.”

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said solemnly: “I receive the imperial edict and thank your majesty for your grace.”

The dust has settled. As expected, the promotion to the Five Cities Military Department of Shenjing was not unexpected.

It’s just that the last sentence of the imperial edict is worth savoring. The four words “dare to take responsibility” have a bit of the meaning of the emperor’s sword.

It seems that Shenjing may also have big troubles to deal with!

While thinking, I heard a voice: “Zhou Yuan, what are you standing there for? Receive the imperial edict! "

It turned out that the imperial edict had been handed to him.

Zhou Yuan quickly took it, looked up and smiled: "Thank you angel, Ziyuan, go and get 200 taels of silver for the angel..."

He was suddenly stunned when he said this.

He stared blankly at the angel in front of him and asked in confusion: "Master Xiaozhuang?"

Isn't this the female tank who taught me swordsmanship in Baiyun Temple!
