In fact, Zhang Xun suffered more than Zhang Zhengxiang.

The little lady he looked down on yesterday was now beyond his reach, which made him feel like a fire was burning in his heart, causing pain in his heart and liver that could not be extinguished or healed...

These days, he has tried all kinds of methods, both soft and hard. He even begged Fu Jiuqu to ask him to say a few nice words for him in front of Xin Yi, but none of them worked...

Xin Yi refuses to eat anything soft or hard, and treats him completely like air.

On the other hand, the daughter of Dali was dangling in front of his eyes like a butterfly all day long.

In the past, Zhang Xun looked at Duan Yun with a pretty face and had a good impression of him, especially because he had helped him save his life. But now he doesn't know what the reason is. The more Duan Yun pesters him, the more Zhang Xun avoids him and the less he wants to meet him.

I even had a faint feeling of disgust towards her...

Just like the former Miss Zhang.

In the afternoon, the palace clerk was extremely hot.

Zhang Xun was taking a nap on the official hat chair in the inner hall, when a forbidden soldier hurried in to report.

"Zhang Duyu Hou..."

Seeing that Zhang Xun's face was black and blue, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Prince Duan is here again, looking for you."

Zhang Xun frowned, suddenly disgusted, slapped his forehead hard, and waved his hands impatiently.

"Tell her to go away——"

"This..." The face of the imperial guard changed.

Zhang Xun pursed his lips, knowing that he had said something wrong, so he quickly took it back.

"Just say I'm not here. I just left after my shift... and went to my wife's place."

The forbidden soldier looked at him deeply and said, "Yes."

Zhang Xun held his breath and waited for the man to turn around and leave. Then he gritted his teeth and kicked the stool with a clang.

"What's going on?" Cao Yi's voice came in lightly, and his slow footsteps seemed to step on Zhang Xun's heart, feeling heavier every time.

Zhang Xun raised his eyes to look at him, suppressed his gaffe, and honestly handed over his hand.

"grown ups."

Cao Yi, dressed in a gray robe from a mysterious building, approached like light rain and mist, smiling gently.

"If Mr. Zhang Du Yu has some free time, why not come with me and have a drink to relieve your worries?"

Zhang Xun was slightly startled, "It's an honor for me."

Before returning to Beijing this time, Zhang Xun and Cao Yi were not very close. Zhang Xun felt a sense of alienation in Zhang Xun's heart, and it was not easy to get along with his subordinates, let alone ask him to have a small drink.

, Zhang Xun could not refuse such an invitation.

~

Jinzhuang Wazi.

The silk and bamboo are gentle and sweet, the drunken young man and the charming geisha speak softly, making it very lively.

This is an intoxicating world unlike the human world.

Zhang Xun poured wine for Cao Yi and smiled respectfully when he picked it up: "I respect you, Lord Cao."

Cao Yi smiled and clinked glasses with him gently, raised his sleeves and sipped lightly, "Please."

The two of them exchanged insignificant words and drank. Cao Yi's mood was unclear, and Zhang Xun couldn't figure out his purpose.

After several glasses of wine, Zhang Xun finally summoned up the courage to ask.

"I wonder if Master Cao has asked his subordinates to come here, but do you have something important to tell me?"

Cao Yi said: "No."

Zhang Xun frowned, feeling even more suspicious, "Then... my subordinates are a little scared."

Cao Yi thought for a while and smiled slightly, "How do you feel about returning to Beijing to take up the job this time?"

Zhang Xundao: "It's no different from before. It's the same as before."

Cao Yi asked: "Are you still getting used to it?"

Zhang Xun frowned involuntarily, "I'm adaptable...Thank you for your concern, sir."

"That's good." Cao Yi lowered his eyes calmly, drank all the wine in his glass, and sighed suddenly, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Zhang Du Yu. I'm just drinking with you. I'm just drinking with you."

"

Zhang Xun responded: "Yes."

Cao Yi poured the wine slowly, watching the glistening walls of the cup being soaked by the wine, and said in a calm and authentic voice: "Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, and I can only talk to people a few times. Zhang Du Yuhou has something troublesome, and I

That’s all.”

Zhang Xun groaned, frowned, and sighed loudly, "This subordinate is tired of family affairs and has a terrible headache."

Cao Yi slowly glanced at him, raised his lips and smiled, "With all due respect, the world is a chess piece and humans are pawns. You and I are both common people. When it is time to bow our heads, we should bow our heads."

"Lower your head?" Zhang Xun looked at him puzzled.

Cao Yi couldn't help but sigh when he saw that his face was red from drinking and he was looking at him with wide eyes.

"When the manpower is not enough, just try your best. So what if the love is deep? It is nothing more than a dream in the Spring and Autumn Period. Letting go is to fulfill others and to fulfill yourself. Duan Shizi is a person of temperament. When Zhang Duyu waits for him, he will be sincere and sincere.

.One is the old love that cannot be obtained, and the other is the close person in front of him. Cao thought that Zhang Du Yuhou should have a choice..."

Zhang Xun looked at Cao Yi's unstretched brows and asked through his drunkenness.

"Master Cao is here to be a lobbyist. Did my wife ask you to come?"

Cao Yi shook his head, "It has nothing to do with Mrs. Zhang."

Zhang Xun frowned fiercely, suddenly drank from his glass and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"I have something that I have been holding back in my heart for a long time. Please use today's opportunity to explain it to Mr. Cao."

Cao Yi's eyebrows twitched, as if he knew what he was going to say, he lowered his eyelids and said, "Please speak."

Zhang Xun coldly stared at him, "There are rumors that Mr. Cao once had a close relationship with my wife. Is it true or not?"

Cao Yi felt a slight pain in his heart. He looked at Zhang Xun silently for a moment and said one word, "True."

The truth spoken after drinking cannot be false.

Cao Yi was afraid that he would misunderstand and become angry with Xin Yi, so he apologized: "This matter has nothing to do with her, it's all my fault."

Zhang Xun's expression changed immediately.

He had already filled his ears with the rumors about Fu Jiuqu and Cao Yi, but he didn't know what his mood was, and he had never asked them personally.

He didn't believe it.

Can't believe it.

…

The summer clothes ordered by Xinyi Pharmacy in the clothing store have arrived. They are available in large and small sizes. The waiter brought them over in a donkey cart and filled the cart full of clothes. In addition to the clothes, there were also some quilt covers and pillowcases.

"The goods have been received, boss lady."

"It's coming, it's coming." Xin Yi led San Nian out of the door and asked the cloth shop clerk to drive the car into the yard to unload the goods.

The three thoughts circled the donkey cart and kept talking.

"Mom said she made more new clothes for the third treasure than the eldest brother and the second brother, right?"

"Yes, yes." Xin Yi answered, a little perfunctorily, while counting.

"Why?" Sannian asked.

"Because you are my mother's little cotton-padded jacket. A little girl should wear more beautiful clothes. You brat, you don't have to."

"Hehe, Sambo loves my mother the most."

The little girl's mouth became sweeter and sweeter. Xin Yi glanced at her funny, took down the packed clothes, gave the money to the waiter, and then patted Sannian's little face.

"Let's go and play. Mom will carry the things in."

Everyone else in the medicine shop was busy, and Xin Yi didn't want to interrupt them.

It's just strenuous work, she won't feel tired.

However, she couldn't leave after Sannian was tired of it, "I'm here to help mother. When Sanbao grows up, he can help mother with things..."

"Be good." Xin Yi picked up a pile of clothes and was about to turn around. The door that the cloth shop clerk had just closed was pushed open again with a creak.

A tall figure rushed over menacingly. Sannian screamed in fright, his eyes widened suddenly, and he ran towards Xinyi.

"mother……"

Xin Yi looked back, put down the clothes he was holding in his arms, and gently pulled Sannian behind his back, "Why are you so haunted?"

The person who came was none other than Zhang Xun.
