Jiaohua

Chapter 792
I have another brother.

These words made the corners of Shen Lie's lips bitter.

Both he and she had lost their elder brothers, but he and her elder brother were completely different people.

She and her elder brothers were born to be magnificent, but in a house like the Shen family, he and Shen Fan were destined to have a gloomy life.

But looking at the girl's smile in front of him, Shen Lie knew that there was a difference between him and Shen Yan.

Shen Yan likes and enjoys living in those darkness, but he met her when he was full of anger, like a ray of sunshine, falling on his heart.

"But, does he really want to be my matchmaker?" Xia Zhaoyi was curious.

"...No," Shen Lie laughed, "Brother Ji is talking nonsense."

"Shen Lie," Xia Zhaoyi said seriously, "If Shen Wen is really still alive, can you let me meet him?"

"You want to ask about His Highness Qianqiu?"

"Ah."

"Okay, but so far, it's him who wrote to me, and I can't contact him."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "It sounds like his way of doing things, and he is still alive."

At this time, a few more dishes were served, followed by Di Jinsheng and Ji Xiahe.

Di Jinsheng didn't know what he said to Ji Xiahe, Ji Xiahe looked sober, but he didn't feel uncomfortable saying something wrong, and sat back calmly.

Xia Zhaoyi liked the green plum sherry wine in the flagon very much, but he couldn't drink enough, so he only drank two glasses.

There is less Shen Lie, half a cup.

But Wei Dongyou and the others thought it was not enough to drink, so they opened another jar of highland barley wine.

During the meal, what Wei Dongyou and the others said about Tanzhou was completely different from what Shen Lie mentioned.

Both Wei Dongyou and Xu Li felt that Tanzhou was not enough to support people, the soil was soft and the water quality was poor, but the climate was rather hot, and they didn't feel too cold when they jumped into the lake to take a bath in late autumn.

They can also tell a lot about some new things on the street. For example, they often see other people fighting on the street.

Xu Li also said that although Tanzhou people are not tall, they are very arrogant. Regardless of men and women, if they are in a hurry, they will go out with a kitchen knife and find someone to fight.

"Then are they diligent?" Xia Zhaoyi, the contractor, asked.

"Lazy, that's lazy!" Wei Dongyou said, "I heard that repairing a wooden table will take three days."

"Oh..." Forget it, Xia Zhaoyi, the contractor, dismissed the idea of ​​recruiting.

Shen Lie is not a person who likes to talk, when Xia Zhaoyi was talking to them, he listened quietly by the side.

But Xia Zhaoyi would turn around and ask him a few words from time to time. Shen Lie liked the way she was talking to him, so it was the first time he played tricks on her, and if he could speak clearly, he quietly guided her to ask again.

The upstairs guest rooms are all clean. Because of Miss Huang's death, Xia Zhaoyi no longer wants to live on the Tianzihao floor.

Shen Lie went to the fourth floor with her. The layout of the fourth floor is completely different. There are more guest rooms, which are quite satisfactory, simple and spacious.

There were several windows at the end of the corridor, and the waiter was still bringing hot water for bathing, Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie stopped here.

Without light, no matter how white the snow outside the window is, there are only black shadows.

But the wind is alive, whistling to and fro, occasionally changing the direction of the wind and blowing into the room.

Two glasses of wine are enough to get slightly drunk, and with the addition of warm vegetables and rice, Xia Zhaoyi's fair face is now pale pink, and his eyes seem to be filled with autumn water.

I used to think that a lot of things could be said in the letter, but now I find that the words in the letter are really incomprehensible.

Especially the Tanzhou where he went and the Qingxiang Village where she stayed, both were full of imperfections in the eyes of their subordinates and others.

"Du Xuan mentioned the women's school more than once in the letter," Shen Lie said, "but the most difficult thing is that you can't find a female teacher."

"I can, but I'm too busy," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "I have too much to do. What about you, did you sneak out this time?"

Shen Lie smiled: "Yes."

It's not considered sneaking off, but Tanzhou and Wanghua couldn't fight at all.

As soon as they arrived in Panyu Township, they were attacked by surprise, but they failed to make their wish come true.

When they quickly started to fight back, the opponent kept hiding. While Lin's people were chasing, they were afraid that the other party would be cheating and try to lure them into some kind of trap, so Lin's ordered not to chase too hard.

Lin Jianrui is a militant, but at the same time he is loyal and obedient. He wants to fight but has to obey obediently. He asks Shen Lie what to do from time to time.

Shen Lie's self-positioning is very clear, he is willing to be a tool person, and he does not give advice on strategic issues.This is what I said when I first came to Tanzhou.

After repeatedly pulling and pulling like this, Shen Lie saw that there would be at least a month of stalemate, so he left as soon as he said, and went directly north to Youzhou to meet the person he was thinking about, and he could do it at a glance.

After coming here, I encountered some ups and downs. I didn't see her when I went to Qingxiang Village. I went all the way north and asked a few sections of the road, but I didn't know which section she was presiding over now.

As a result, I just arrived at Congxin Mansion this afternoon, so I met here.

The unexpected encounter in front of the inn can wipe away the exhaustion of traveling through the stacked mountains at a glance.

And these exhaustions, after chatting with her up to now, Shen Lie didn't mention a word, he just rushed to her, and he was happy.

On the contrary, he is too busy listening to her casual mention, Shen Lie is almost reflexively thinking about what he can do.

At this time, the hot water in the house was ready, and the man reminded me respectfully from behind.

"Go take a bath first," Shen Lie said gently, "Go to bed early after taking a bath."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded, and Shen Lie saw that she didn't know what she was thinking, but her eyes lit up: "I probably know why."

"what?"

"It's discipline and people's hearts," Xia Zhaoyi looked at him. "Whether it's Tanzhou or Qingxiang Village, the reason why we think we can stay is related to discipline and people's hearts."

Qingxiang Village is a village with a strong sense of clan. Women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and they are not even eligible to participate in ancestor worship. Many militiamen can speak in front of them.

Of course, this is also the right to speak that they have obtained through their participation in labor.

Being old-fashioned can accept enlightenment, being stubborn is not unreasonable. This is the reason why people think they are excellent and can stay even more than geographical conditions.

Shen Lie smiled, said with a light smile, "Ali, you go take a bath first."

"Well, you should rest early too."

The guest rooms on the fourth floor are half smaller than those on the third floor. The candlelight is quiet, and the more wind and snow outside the window, the quieter the room is.

Xia Zhaoyi removed the clothes on her body, and the girl stepped into the bathtub with her slender and smooth legs.

Alone in the house, there is no need to pull up the bamboo and ink five screens used for blocking.

Her gaze crossed half the room and stopped on the small lake green pouch next to the candlestick.

The purse contained silver taels, folded flower notes, and a piece of paper.

The words on the paper were crooked, with justice and morality written.

Xia Zhaoyi withdrew his gaze, and his heart suddenly became heavy.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and sank into the tub.
