Houfu Key Class

Zong Zhao would change the topic as soon as he was embarrassed. Xu Wan saw through it and refused to reveal it, but she still couldn't help laughing: "Wash up first, I haven't showered in two days."

Zong Zhao also wanted to laugh: "Okay, then I'll ask someone to prepare it. You can just wash up and eat."

"good."

The hot water has been boiled long ago and will be heated again when it cools down. Waiting for Xu Wan to wake up, the maids went to the small bathroom to prepare. Zong Zhao also went to the bathroom outside to wash up. The maids cleaned up the room and replaced it with new ones. The quilt, sheets, and floor were all swept again.

After taking a shower, the two of them went out to eat refreshed.

Zong Zhao warned: "You haven't eaten anything all day, drink some porridge first and then eat vegetables."

"Okay." Xu Wan responded obediently, then suddenly thought of something and teased, "You haven't eaten for a day, right? I saw the way you looked just now, you didn't even bother to wash your face."

Zong Zhao hummed, his neck turning a little red.

Xu Wan saw it again and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

The two of them were eating when Cuizhi came in with medicine and said, "Madam, this is the medicine prescribed by the doctor to nourish your mind. Can you drink some after the meal?"

"Ah?" Xu Wan held her chopsticks and said in astonishment, "I'll be fine if I take a nap. Why don't you stop drinking?" She said and looked at Zong Zhao.

Zong Zhao paused and said, "If you don't want to drink, don't drink."

Xu Wan responded decisively: "Then don't drink."

Cuizhi: "..." So casual.

Although she regained her energy after sleeping all day, she suffered from insomnia at night. Xu Wan had tried her best to postpone going to bed until mid-afternoon, but she still couldn't fall asleep because she was tossing and turning, and her brain was strong enough to complete a set of test papers.

At this moment, a warm hand reached out and covered her eyes again, whispering: "Let's see if we can fall asleep like this?"

She was like this yesterday, falling asleep very quickly.

Xu Wan's eyes moved under her eyelids and she replied softly: "Your hands are so hot, like a hot compress."

In the dark night, I seemed to hear him chuckle.

The next day, when Xu Wan woke up, there was no one next to her bed. She thought about what happened before going to bed last night, and said that hot compress really made her fall asleep faster. She thought she would have insomnia until midnight.

When Xu Wan was about to finish breakfast, the maid came in from outside and reported in a low voice: "Madam, Mr. Su has resigned."

"Ah?" Xu Wan quickly put down her chopsticks and strode outside.

Su Xi had already packed his things, just a small baggage. He was squatting in the courtyard of the big study looking at the kangkong.

Xu Wan came over and said, "Sir, don't leave in such a hurry. Jincheng and the others want to say goodbye to you properly. Please wait for them for another eight days. By the way... and the kangkong in this yard, too." It will take a few days before they can be picked and eaten.”

Su Xi blew his beard and said: "The water spinach has been planted for more than a month. If I had fertilized it well, it would be ripe now. It's a pity. Your house is so beautiful, and I don't want to bear it, old man, and make it stink."

Xu Wan hurriedly said: "This means that you should stay a few more days. In a few days, the water spinach will be ripe, and you can take it away for your family to taste. Five of your students grew it."

Su Xi stood up and sighed: "Forget it, we will be separated sooner or later, why not leave now, I can't stand those young men in the province crying in front of me."

Xu Wan thought for a while...

I can't imagine them crying.

"But sir..."

"Don't worry," Su Xi interrupted her persuasion, "We are destined to meet each other, and we will eventually have to say goodbye. My sweet potatoes are about to be ripe, and I'm still waiting to go back and dig my own sweet potatoes."

Xu Wan felt that she couldn't persuade him anymore, so she just asked again: "Sir, after we say goodbye today, is there still a chance to meet again?"

Su Xi was startled, and then said after a long while: "The results of the imperial examination will be announced in half a year. If they can get to that point, I remember that there will be a family leave in the meantime."

Xu Wan replied: "Yes, there is one month of family leave to let them announce the good news to their relatives far away in their hometown."

Su Xi smiled and said: "They have no relatives in the countryside. If you still remember me at that time, just bring them here. Luo Jingfeng knows the address."

Xu Wan responded: "Okay, sir, we will visit you then and see your acres and acres of sweet potato fields."

Su Xi laughed loudly: "Haha, it will be late spring by then, and the ones growing in the ground will not be sweet potatoes."

Xu Wan also said with a smile: "Then let them help you with farm work and plant whatever you have."

Su Xi smiled and nodded, waved to her, and got on the carriage leaving Beijing.

The carriage curtain was lowered and the carriage moved forward.

Su Xi sat in the carriage and wiped away her tears while mumbling: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" I’m going to dig out my eyes, I’m so blind.”

The coachman and bodyguard sent by the Luo family: "..."

I don't want to hear what the old man is doing inside.

After Su Xi left, Xu Wan looked at the watery water spinach in the garden and sighed: "After all, I didn't give my husband the vegetables they grew."

Zong Zhao came back from outside and heard about what was going on in the house. He came up to her and said, "In half a year, let them go to Mr. Su's house and grow whatever they want to eat."

Xu Wan turned around and saw him. He was dressed in black and had a slender figure. The man's eyes were always so calm and focused, and his eyes that looked at her could only accommodate one person.

Xu Wan stepped forward and asked, "Where have you been? No one was seen early in the morning."

He replied: "The Zhao family has finished the funeral."

"Ah?" Xu Wan didn't react for a moment.

Zong Zhao smiled and said, "It's the Ma family's turn."

Xu Wan: “!”

She didn’t expect that Zong Zhao had finished his work and came back while chatting and laughing. It was completely different from the sadness of the first time. He now accepted it calmly and did it calmly. He didn’t doubt himself and no longer used high moral standards to consume himself.

Xu Wan asked: “With such frequent visits, won’t my parents-in-law notice it?”

Zong Zhao replied: “Maybe the third one will, but the second one won’t notice it, so I don’t want to wait any longer. I feel sorry for Zong Yan if he lives one more day.”

Xu Wan thought for a while and said: “Then don’t wait, let them be busy, and bury him early and feel at ease.”

Zong Zhao was amused by her, strode forward and hugged her, smelled her faint fragrance, rubbed his cheek against her neck, and whispered: “I like you.”

Xu Wan paused, realizing that this was the first time he confessed to her in broad daylight. The last time he said he liked her was when he was drowsy at night, and it always felt like a dream.

She stretched out her arms and hugged his waist, and said casually: "Did you learn this from Jincheng? He is the only one who always says he likes me."

Zong Zhao did not deny it, but hugged her tighter and said: "Good habit, I will learn more."

Xu Wan said with a smile: "Others' sons learn from their fathers, but you are the one who learns from his son."

Zong Zhao laughed a few times and did not refute her.

The courtyard of the big study was quiet and deserted. The water spinach in the yard fluttered in the autumn wind. The two cute ghosts hugged each other like this, adding a lot of warmth to the small courtyard.
