pretty lady in disguise

Chapter 96

In the second year of marriage, Zhan Huaichun finally became a father.

A Yu gave birth to him a big white and fat girl, Zhan Huaichun was so rare, she stayed at home to coax her daughter when she was free, and came back as early as possible when she went out to do business, dismounted and went straight to Evergreen Garden.Before getting married, except for Xiao Ren who met two or three times a month, they basically lost contact with each other. When they met occasionally when they were busy with business, a nod was regarded as a greeting.

Of course, Ah Yu likes this kind of change in him. The family of three is lively and lively together, which is sweeter than any good things he can say.

But Zhanjia's business is so big, there is always a parting.

Just after the first month, Zhan Zhihan gave Zhan Huaichun an errand, asking him to go to the south of the Yangtze River to transport spring tea, and it took two months to come back.For Zhan Huaichun before getting married, this was hard work, for Zhan Huaichun who had just married his wife, it was not a human job, and for Zhan Huaichun whose daughter had just turned one year old, he didn't even want to do it if he was beaten to death !
After a big fight with his eldest brother, Zhan Huaichun rushed back to his yard in a rage.

Ayu is learning to walk with her daughter.

She bent down to hold Nuan Nuan's hand, Nuan Nuan tightly held her mother's arm, looked down at the ground, walked forward step by step, raised her head after taking a step, and smiled cheerfully at her mother.A pair of big watery eyes are very similar to Ayu, which is very rare.

The mother and daughter wore the same style of clothes that Zhan Huaichun specially ordered the embroiderer to make. Ayu wore a peach red jacket and a long skirt with a white bottom. She was warm and small, but she still looked good in such a suit.When Zhan Huaichun came over, because of the loud footsteps, Nuan Nuan immediately turned her head to look, and seeing her father coming, she immediately didn't want to leave, she lay on her mother's arm and stretched out her hand towards the corridor: "Dad, Dad!" pedal.

Zhan Huaichun jumped down from the flower bed, took a few quick steps to take his daughter from her mother, and kissed her hard twice.

Nuan Nuan happily held her father's handsome face, pouted and kissed his forehead.

The soft touch finally made Zhan Huaichun look a little better.Holding his daughter in his arms, he tilted his head and said to A Yu, "Go into the house, it's windy." The evening in February was still quite cold.

Seeing that his expression was not right, Ayu obediently followed him.

The family of three entered the inner room, Zhan Huaichun put Nuan Nuan on the couch, and sat cross-legged on it himself, teasing Nuan Nuan with the tiger baby that A Yu sewed by himself next to him, his eyes were gentle, but the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed.

"Are you having trouble with big brother again?" A Yu asked him with a smile while sitting on the couch.There are not many people who can bring Zhan Huaichun back to Changqing Garden. He just came back from talking with Zhan Zhihan, so it must be Zhan Zhihan's fault.

Zhan Huaichun snorted, didn't want to mention it, and lay down with his back to A Yu, propped his head on his left hand, and continued to tease his daughter.

Ah Yu is now used to him being angry, anyway, she is not afraid of being angry with her.Looking outside, she leaned on his shoulder and asked him with a smile: "What's the matter? Brother asked you to go out on business again?" Apart from this, the two brothers seemed to have no differences in the past two years.

Seeing that she was still laughing, Zhan Huaichun was inexplicably wronged, sat up again, hugged Nuannuan on his lap, and then said angrily: "Brother asked me to go to the south of the Yangtze River to transport spring tea. I will not go there for two months. go!"

two months...

Ayu suddenly felt reluctance to let go, grabbed his hand and asked, "Do you want to go there every year?" Don't there be shopkeepers in every shop of the Zhan family, why do you want them to go out in person?

"We don't need it, just go once every three to five years. This year's time is almost up. Big brother asked me to go, but I won't go!" Zhan Huaichun said sullenly.

"Why are you angry if you don't go?" A Yu asked deliberately as he pinched his hand gently.This person probably knew he had to go, so he was angry.If he doesn't go, what reason does he have for not going?When he was ignorant before, his eldest brother took care of all the business in the family. Now that he is sensible, he can do other errands. Why don't people who travel far away like this do it?Can't bear his wife and daughter?But the eldest brother also has a wife and son. Didn't he go to the Northwest in person last fall? After going there for three months, he didn't come back until the end of the year. He lost a lot of weight.

Of course Zhan Huaichun understood this truth, that's why he was angry.If you don't go, you can't. If you go, he really can't bear it.

Hugging Nuan Nuan who still didn't understand anything, Zhan Huaichun kissed and kissed again, as if talking to A Yu and talking to himself: "Two months, Nuan Nuan misses me, what should I do? She likes to sleep most Let me coax her, if I leave suddenly, she will definitely cry, and she is only so old, if she doesn't see me for a long time, will she not know me..."

The more he talked, the more wronged he became, Ayu was so sad that he wanted to laugh. How could this kind of Zhan Huaichun still have the prestige and prestige he once had?In the past, he liked to act coquettishly with her in private, but now that he has an extra daughter, it seems that there is another person who will love him, and he is even more squeamish.

She took off her shoes, moved closer to the man to tease her daughter, and asked him after a while, "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning." Zhan Huaichun said.

Ayu was surprised: "So fast?"

Zhan Huaichun snorted again: "Brother said to tell me later, I can have a few more comfortable days before I leave, so that I don't sleep well at night."

This is really the case...

Thinking of him leaving tomorrow morning, A Yu couldn't bear it anymore, hugged him tightly, leaned against his arm and said, "Don't worry, Nuan Nuan will get used to it soon with my coaxing. Don't worry about the rest, Nuan Nuan Nuan has recognized you a long time ago, and she likes you so much, how could she not recognize you in two months? But you, be careful outside, don't fight with others and don't..."

Zhan Huaichun didn't speak, he looked at his daughter who was still laughing non-stop, and quietly listened to his wife's gentle instructions, and when Ah Yu finished speaking, he planted a kiss on the top of her head.

When going to bed at night, Zhan Huaichun usually puts Nuannuan to sleep first, and then he retreats to the outside, letting Ayu sleep in the middle.After Nuan Nuan fell asleep tonight, he stared at his daughter with his head propped up, and he couldn't get enough of it.A Yu finished blowing the lamp, put down the curtains and watched with him, Zhan Huaichun looked at his daughter, she looked at him, after a long time, seeing that Zhan Huaichun only had his daughter in his eyes, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.It's been two months, and she can't bear to part with him, why does he seem to miss his daughter?

She continued to look at it for a while, and saw that Zhan Huaichun had no intention of sleeping, so she lay down on the outside, facing out of the bed.

Even though she was lying down, she couldn't bear to part with it, and couldn't sleep with her eyes open, listening to the man's shallow breathing behind her.

Listening and listening, Ah Yu suddenly wanted to go over and hug him.

But just as she turned around, Zhan Huaichun happened to turn around too, her eyes met, and Ah Yu burst into tears.Zhan Huaichun reached out and hugged her into his arms, bowed his head and kissed her tears, and said in a low voice, "Ayu, it's been two months, and I'm not used to not sleeping with you all night, how can I survive two months. You Well, will you miss me so much that you can't sleep?"

Ayu cried and nodded.

Zhan Huaichun smiled wryly, and pinched her face: "You don't know it, don't think I don't know, you can recite scriptures, if you can't sleep, you recite scriptures, and then fall asleep soon, right?"

Ayu was stunned and looked at him stupidly, how did he know?

When she was like this, Zhan Huaichun felt even more sour, bit her face hard, turned over, held her face and complained: "Now I only have you and Nuan Nuan in my heart, but you have Nuan Nuan, peas, and Buddha in my heart. It's me in the end."

Ayu was amused by him, thought for a while, and defended himself: "You are by my side, I only think of Buddha in my heart if you are not here, I will think of Buddha."

"No, you can only think of me as a man when I'm not around." Zhan Huaichun whispered as he kissed her ear, "What's so good about the Buddha? Ayu, you still miss me when I'm not around, because I'm outside too." I will miss you this way, let’s think about it together, just like being together.”

Zhan Huaichun, however, stayed up all night, with the lamp at the foot of the bed, watching his daughter for a while, and his wife for a while, and when he was reluctant, he even thought about taking them with him.But no, Nuan Nuan is still too young to stand the toss, and the road is hard, not everything is under control, he is not afraid of himself, but afraid of their suffering.

The next morning, Zhan Huaichun teased his daughter as before and prepared to go out.

Nuan Nuan leaned in her mother's arms, looked at her father eagerly, and when Zhan Huaichun was about to open the curtain, she burst into tears.

Zhan Huaichun's heart was pulled up, but he didn't look back, and walked away cruelly.

Nuan Nuan will be fine with Ah Yu taking care of her. As for him, he is a man, and he has to earn money to support their mother and daughter.

Riding on horseback to the pier and boarding the Zhan family's merchant ship, Zhan Huaichun looked back towards his own direction, and when the ship gradually moved away from the shore, his reluctance gradually turned into pride.He didn't go out for himself, but for his wife and daughter. He will work hard to do a good job in business, let Ayu see how good her husband is, and let Nuannuan see how capable her father is.

This trip was not going well, and when I was approaching Suzhou, I met the Lake Bandits.

In this lake area, lake bandits gather and incidents occur frequently, especially when there are frequent business exchanges between the north and the south, the lake bandits are even more rampant.The Zhan family had a good relationship with the local prefect, and the prefect would send a team of officers and soldiers to escort the boat when it crossed the lake.This year, I don't know what happened in the lake bandit's lair, but they even sent out to rob the ship.

At dusk, the sky was dim, and the lake bandits were so numerous that they surrounded several merchant ships, and the officers and soldiers of that team did not dare to speak.

Zhan Huaichun stood at the bow of the boat and sneered. After seeing the situation outside, he went back to the cabin, wrapped several banknotes in oiled paper and tied them to his body, and quietly entered the water.

The bandit leader's boat was the largest, so he was easy to find. Zhan Huaichun sneaked up silently, kicked the young men who were guarding outside into the water, and entered the cabin alone.

There are three leaders inside, Zhan Huaichun let them go together.

The three leaders had two weapons and one article, and after Zhan Huaichun threw the two who could fight into the water, the three leaders who looked like counselors looked at the brother who was not injured in the water, and finally said: "This is the second master Zhan?" The big flag was marked with the word "Zhan". They came after inquiring clearly. They wanted to do a big job, but they didn't expect the other party to touch it.There are two young masters of the Zhan family, the one in front of him is the youngest.

Zhan Huaichun didn't want to talk to him, so he just threw the 1000 taels of silver bill on the table: "This is 1000 taels, you take it away, it's the hard-earned money of all the brothers today, and we won't mess with the Zhan family in the future, otherwise today I will I will send the three of you back to the west."

The three leaders were slightly stunned, then smiled heartily, cupped their hands and said, "Second Master Zhan is so brave! Don't worry, it was our brothers who had eyes that didn't know Mount Tai and offended the nobleman today. Now, I, Liu Feng, swear in front of all the brothers, that in the future My Shuiyun Village will never touch the Zhan family and their boats. Not only that, whoever dares to oppose the Zhan family on this lake will use Shuiyun Village as their enemy, and there is no need for Second Lord Zhan to take action. Our brothers will kill him for you first. !"

There is also a way to steal. People respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.

Zhan Huaichun did not answer.

Knowing the temper of the brothers of the Zhan family, Liu Feng was not annoyed, and when the two brothers came up, he ordered someone to send Zhan Huaichun back by boat.

Before Zhan Huaichun boarded the boat, the chief stopped him and insisted on toasting him.

Zhan Huaichun looked at the reckless man in front of him, frowned, and said: "My wife doesn't like me drinking, so I will not accompany you." After saying that, he boarded his own merchant ship.

The three leaders looked at each other, and finally roared with laughter.

Zhan Huaichun heard it and didn't care.

He likes her and doesn't mind letting everyone know.

Two months later, Zhan's merchant ship came ashore full of new tea, and Zhan Huaichun hurried to Zhan's mansion, returning home like an arrow.

It was already April at this time, A Yu changed into a thin blue beige, and led her daughter by the wall to look at the pink or white roses all over the wall.

There were eager footsteps coming from the gate of the courtyard, A Yu's heart skipped a beat, she paused her hand to pick the flowers, and turned her head to look.

Saw the man she hadn't seen in two months.

He also saw her, and ran towards her with a smile. A Yu covered her mouth and smiled, just looking at him happily, unable to walk.

Fortunately, my daughter knew to welcome him.

Nuan Nuan held the flower in one hand, opened the other hand, and staggered towards the door, calling "Daddy" eagerly in her small mouth.

Zhan Huaichun reached out and picked up his daughter, kissing and kissing again and again.

Nuan Nuan giggled, and finally waited for her father to stop kissing her, she immediately inserted the big red rose in her hand into her father's hair, carefully looked at her eyes, turned her head and called mother: "Mom, look, Daddy!" The words were clearly pronounced , delicate and crisp.

Ayu couldn't help laughing, and when the man came in front of her with her daughter in his arms, she raised her head, looked at the husband with the hairpin seriously, entangled his gaze, and finally boasted after a while: "You look so good-looking."

Zhan Huaichun smiled and hugged his lovely wife into his arms, his gaze swept over the roses all over the wall, and then returned to the ends of her hair.

He kissed her tenderly: "You look better."

The spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River praised by the literati, and the garden full of flowers and flowers, can't compare to her frown and smile, which fascinated him.
