The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 339 The smell of medicine, bitterness
Zhang Wenyu stared: "What did you just say?"

Xu Yuan straightened her expression and shook her head: "My lord, I didn't say anything."

Zhang Wenyu ground his teeth and said he was pedantic, don't think he didn't hear!

Xu Yuan pointed to the yard beside her: "My lord, I'll take you there to have a look."

That was the lotus pond that Xu Yuan built specially. When she listened to the words in those poems, what she most wanted to see was the scene where the lotus and the sky were in one piece. Therefore, He Minglou had made such a pond before.

Zhang Wenyu looked at the empty pond and turned around: "What are you looking at?"

"The pond looks empty now, but after a few months, it will be full of lotus flowers."

"Then what's the use of me coming now?" He flicked his sleeves and walked outside.

Xu Yuan touched the tip of her nose, she seemed to want people to see her lotus pond, ignoring the actual season.

After leaving the pond, Xu Yuan saw Li Yin and Wanwan sitting in a pavilion not far away.

Wanwan probably wanted Li Yin to do something for her again, so she wrapped his arms around him and refused to let go.

Li Yin couldn't use all his strength to get rid of the little girl, his face was as dark as a piece of charcoal.

Xu Yuan and Wanwan Zhang Wenyu went there together, dragged Wanwan off Li Yin's body, looked at the little girl, "What's wrong?"

"Wanwan wants daddy to draw a portrait of Wanwan, but daddy doesn't want to." Wanwan curled her lips, looking like she was about to cry.

"Why doesn't Daddy want to?" Xu Yuan asked Wanwan again, but kept looking at Li Yin.

He snorted softly: "I don't want to."

Xu Yuan raised her forehead: "Wanwan, we can't force others to do things we don't want to do, can we?"

Wanwan blinked her eyes and nodded: "Mother is right, but Wanwan really wants it."

"Your name is Wanwan, right?" Zhang Wenyu suddenly squatted down in front of Wanwan, "Want a portrait?"

"Hmm." She nodded.

"Then uncle, can I draw for you?" He smiled and patted Wanwan's head.

"Uncle can also draw?" Wanwan looked at him with wide eyes, surprised.

"Yes, uncle can draw, Wanwan can draw whatever she wants."

Xu Yuan glanced at Li Yin, his face was darker than before.

"That Wanwan wants it!" She grabbed Zhang Wenyu's little finger, "Let's go!"

"Where are you going?"

"The study!" Wanwan raised her head, "Daddy always paints in the study!"

"Don't go." Li Yin said in a calm voice, obviously very unhappy.

Wanwan turned to look at him: "Why? Daddy, uncle wants to paint for Wanwan, not for other things."

"I'll draw for you." He got up and grabbed Wanwan's other hand, "I'm your father, and I'll draw for you."

"But Daddy didn't want to..."

"I want to draw now, let's go." He simply bent down and hugged Wanwan, the movement was very smooth and natural.

Xu Yuan pursed her lips and watched his movements, feeling a tinge of joy in her heart.

Zhang Wenyu looked at his empty palm, then slowly looked back at Xu Yuan.

"Forget it, you should just follow me to see the house." Xu Yuan turned her hands behind her back and walked in front.

Zhang Wenyu had no choice but to stay with her, because she almost had a good relationship with her daughter just now.

He had heard from Master Qian that Xu Yuan's daughter was adopted by her when she was a child, not Li Yin's biological daughter.

Xu Yuan took him around a few yards again, and then went directly back to her own yard, letting Zhang Wenyu have a good rest.

He had just recovered from a serious illness, and it was not good to walk outside for a long time.

Li Yin really took Wanwan to paint a portrait, and he painted it very seriously, not even letting go of the slightest detail.

After the painting was finished, Wanwan put it away, saying that she wanted to keep it and refused to show it to outsiders.

Li Yin thinks this little girl is very interesting, she is young, she is a big kid, she knows a lot, and she is very measured when she acts like a baby.

She has learned a lot about Xu Yuan's traits.

After Wanwan was settled, he went back to the yard.

Chunyue brought over the prepared medicine first, and Li Yin drank it expressionlessly before entering the room.

Xu Yuan was sitting by the bed reading medical books, and there was no movement when he heard him come in.

When he took off his shoes and socks, changed his clothes, and was about to go to bed, she looked up at him.

"do not come."

"Why?" He raised his eyebrows. Since that day, there was no longer a quilt between the two of them. When they woke up the next day, they still slept peacefully.

"The smell of medicine is bitter." She turned around and avoided Li Yin's face.

He pursed his lips, a little helpless, could he control the smell of the medicine?It is also common practice to drink medicine every day, and he is afraid that one day his body will really start to smell like medicine.

He went out to wash up again, and then came back to lie down again.

Xu Yuan was still reading medical books and ignored him. He closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Xu Yuan blew on the lamp and kicked him lightly: "Is Wanwan's portrait finished today?"

"Okay." He opened his eyes, and everything in the darkness could be seen clearly.

"If the little girl has any requirements in the future, you should try your best to meet them."

Li Yin didn't make a sound, waiting for her next words.

"You two have to say, I picked them up. Even the time is about the same, it's fate. I don't know how long you can stay with her in the future, so don't refuse her."

"What do you mean?" Can't be with you?

"Are you going to stay in Xu's house for the rest of your life?" After Xu Yuan asked, she held her breath and waited for his answer. She admitted that she was probing, and she especially wanted to get the answer she wanted.

He fell silent and didn't make a sound.

Xu Yuan closed her eyes, the test failed, so she had to come back later.

"Go to sleep." She turned over and turned her back to Li Yin.

He held her back, and slowly closed his eyes. It is undeniable that he was a little shaken just now...

Zhang Wenyu's life in Xu's mansion was very stable. He recited poems against Xu's father every day, let others play chess occasionally, and even faced the maids in the mansion. He was in a good mood.

Xu Yuan began to wonder if this person who seemed so worried about the tasks assigned by the court was just pretending?
How could there be such a big change, and now it seems that I don't worry about that at all.

On New Year's Eve was the Xu family's family banquet, and Zhang Wenyu sat in it.

When Xu Yuan took out the gift she had prepared earlier and the jade ruyi from Zhang Wenyu to Xu's father and Xu's mother, Zhang Wenyu was stunned for a moment, wanting to take it back.

If he knew in advance that Xu Yuan would throw it to Xu's father and Xu's mother, then he would never give this away!

Moreover, the other two things that Xu Yuan took out were not ordinary products at first glance, and when they were put together with that Yu Ruyi, the comparison was too tragic.

But the second elder didn't say anything, and accepted it with a smile.

After Xu Yuan gave the things away, she took a look at Zhang Wenyu. She seemed to have forgotten that Yu Ruyi was given by Zhang Wenyu...
