The fifty-fourth chapter Qinglian gauze, interests are shared
Facts have proved that the crow's mouth is only effective for Zhang Shou. Although Zhu Ying and Yang Laoguan kept hoping that another group of rebels would come to satisfy their addiction, the rest of the night was calm. If it weren't for the dozen blood-stained quilts,
For the prisoners hanging on the big tree in the village, even Zhang Shou would think that what they experienced last night was a dream.
And early in the morning, when the dandy boys who were drugged by Miss Zhu without knowing anything in Cuiyun woke up, they listened to the entourage's exaggerated remarks about the dangers last night, and most of them were doubtful. Therefore, there were inevitably many
People ran to the village to watch the rebels.
Seeing these half-dead prisoners tied up with ropes and hanging on the tree, each one looked listless and ignored them at all. The dandy boys couldn't help but come up in anger. If it weren't for the fact that Hua Qi, who was sitting casually holding a knife on the side, was too conspicuous, holding a short bow in front of them.
Ah Liu on the side was so cold and murderous that they would definitely go up and give those rebels who had no ability to resist a lesson.
But not everyone is interested in beating up the drowned dog. For example, Zhang Wu wandered around the village in confusion, and found that people were shouting in the cottages everywhere, as if they were preparing to do something. He did not bring any followers.
He wanted to stop someone and ask him what was going on. However, he stopped two people in a row, but they were too busy to answer him. Finally, he saw Zhang Shou from a distance, and then hurried forward in a hurry.
"Little sir!"
As soon as Zhang Shou saw Zhang Wu worrying about gains and losses, he knew what he was thinking. He immediately said with a smile: "There are many people who are powerful, but too many people who cannot be twisted into a rope will cause trouble. Yingying is the most afraid of trouble."
Yes, so I cut the knot quickly and let you all sleep together. As for Zhang Chen and Lu San, we kept them because the rebels would find it valuable to hold them hostage."
"So, Miss Zhu is just... for convenience?" When he said these last three words, Zhang Wu was a little confused. When he saw Zhang Shou nodding, he couldn't help but feel frustrated, "
As long as she tells me, I can order all the guards to obey her."
"It's an emergency. There's no time to go to such trouble. At worst, I'll do it first and I'll apologize to you later!"
Zhang Wu was startled when he heard the voice coming from behind. He turned around and saw that it was Zhu Ying. He was full of complaints and was too frightened to express any more. However, what Zhu Ying said next made him full of grievances.
Nothing.
"Today I am celebrating my birthday with Ah Shou. We will have a running banquet at noon. I originally planned to go to Cuiyun Room to shout. Since you are here, you can help me go back and shout to them. Don't hang around those who have been beaten when you have nothing to do.
The guys who have tied up and hung up the dried fish are here to help. If you have time, everyone will come to help. If you can't help, those people you brought can always just put the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, right?"
"Besides, Ah Shoucai told me that the credit for catching those rebels last night must be shared with you. Don't worry about those trivial things. Go quickly! By the way, remember to keep the credit secret.
Don’t mention it yet!”
When Zhang Shou saw Zhang Wu, he was stunned for a moment, and then he started running back and forth as if he had been whipped into a spinning top. He suddenly laughed: "You are still awesome. With just one sentence, people will immediately become motivated.
!”
Zhu Ying tilted her chin slightly and said proudly: "That's just because of the prestige, he is used to it. If you really want to say it, your words about sharing the credit are the most real... Come on, come with me!"
Zhang Shou was stunned: "Where to go?"
"We are the birthday girl. Of course the birthday girl has the appearance of the birthday girl!" Zhu Ying took it for granted. Seeing that Zhang Shou was still in a daze, she stepped forward and pushed him in the back without thinking, "Every year on my birthday, my grandmother will
Give me a set of new clothes that have been made. This year, I also gave you yours! Aunt Wu asked me to come out and find you to change clothes, so hurry up and go!"
The lady in Duke Zhao's mansion is really too considerate...
Zhang Shou sighed deeply in his heart, and finally resigned himself to his fate and walked towards home.
At this moment, he silently prayed in his heart that it would not be the kind of bright red and green festive colors. He was not like Miss Zhu who wore bright red just as naturally as eating and drinking. He couldn't resist that kind of bright color...
…Of course I don’t want to wear it either!
Although he admits that he does have a crush on Zhu Ying now, if he is forced to dress like a groom, he will never do it!
Although it was a temporary arrangement, there were still a lot of people in the village, and each of the dandy boys had a cook who could cook. Each of their followers worked hard, and before noon, the streets were already lined with people.
Tables were put up one after another, and some even had bed boards set up on bricks...
Of course, no one will take out the coffin boards to count this time.
Lu Sanlang, who thought he had made a great contribution last night, dragged Zhang Chen to the door of the Zhang family mansion with a smile on his face, and called him the birthday boy to welcome today.
Although Zhang Chen was still a little awkward, because of Zhang Shou's harsh words about Ding Hai last night, he no longer accepted this young gentleman only because of Ge Yong's relationship. The only thing left was a little entangled.
"Yo, it's out!"
When Zhang Chen heard Lu Sanlang's shouting, he couldn't help but instinctively raised his head.
I saw two people coming out side by side at the entrance of Zhang Zhai's hall.
Zhu Ying was wearing a cherry-colored shirt and a pomegranate-red skirt with colorful ruffles. The slightly blushing rouge on her cheeks made her as beautiful as the morning glow on the horizon. Even the ruby earrings did not seem so eye-catching.
.
Next to her, Zhang Shou is wearing a green lotus-colored cross-collar blouse, which looks much plainer than Zhu Ying's bright dress, but the green lotus-colored gauze is woven by skilled weavers with the words "good luck and longevity".
pattern, and a circle of crane patterns was embroidered on the edge of the jacket. Zhang Chen recognized the piece of material at just the first glance, and was stunned.
Of course, Zhang Shou noticed Zhang Chen's complicated eyes. Although he was slightly relieved when he found out that he didn't need to wear bright red, green, sapphire, blue, rose, or purple, he soon discovered that the green lotus color was also very ostentatious, even more impressive than pure purple.
More colorful...
He has no fame, no family background, and no official position. How can he wear this kind of robe that is close to pure purple?
However, from the moment he put on the clothes, he had noticed that they were almost customized according to his body size. When he came out after changing clothes, facing his mother Wu's surprised and proud expression, he thought about these three things about himself.
She had rebelled against the norm for many years and had done countless things like killing things first and telling them later. She didn't do much to stop them, so she decided not to spoil her happiness on this happy day.
Therefore, Zhang Shou pretended not to notice Zhang Chen's obviously subtle reaction, and when he walked out of the gate of Zhang's house, he was greeted by a large number of birthday wishes, including even blessings such as Donghai Shoubi Nanshan. He could only hold one in front of his head.
The stiff smile kept reminding me that I am sixteen, not sixty!
Zhu Ying didn't care whether these auspicious words were appropriate to the occasion. She was used to facing a lot of people. She greeted them with a smile and was considerate.
Lu Sanlang took advantage of the opportunity and stepped forward to congratulate him on his birthday. He immediately pushed the delicate-looking Zhang Chen aside and stood beside Zhang Shou majestically, looking like a student to help entertain the guests.
While he was busy, he whispered: "On March 3 this year, Miss Zhu defeated Princess Yongping by throwing a pot, and begged a piece of green lotus yarn from the Queen Mother. For this reason, it is said that Princess Yongping said that she was arrogant behind her back.
.Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I guess it's what you have, Mr. Zhang. Zhang Chen was present in person at that time, so he probably recognized it."
In other words, if I wear the clothes I am wearing now, the princess will definitely be unhappy, right?
Zhang Shou immediately understood the implication of Lu Sanlang, and immediately laughed and said: "It seems that the madam is really generous. She didn't even ask her granddaughter, so she made clothes and gave them to me directly."
"Yes, yes." Lu Sanlang nodded repeatedly, his voice lowered, as if he was afraid that someone would hear, "Miss Zhu must think that Mr. Xiao, you are the best match for this color, and you will only be happy, but some people will not
If you have bad intentions and stir up trouble, you have to guard against it."
As he spoke, he said sternly: "That boy Zhang Chen has a very high self-esteem, so he may not complain behind his back, but there are so many people in Cuiyun, it is inevitable that there will be people who are not of the same mind as everyone else! Don't worry, little gentleman, I will warn everyone.
of!"
Zhang Shou suddenly felt that this guy Lu Sanlang was definitely the material to be the squad leader... This thought passed quickly, so he laughed and changed the topic for the time being.
When he and Zhu Ying, who had squeezed out of the crowd, came to the head table at the entrance of the village, they clapped their hands and said a few symbolic words, and then motioned for all the villagers, Guijie's children and entourage to take their seats. When a large group of people took their seats in a noisy manner,
After taking it, he held the pot with a smile and filled his own cup.
"I respect heaven and earth, and thank heaven and earth for blessing the village with good weather and prosperity."
"My fellow villagers, if it hadn't been for our hard work on weekdays and our concerted efforts last night, there wouldn't have been such a good harvest this year, let alone the near-miss victory over this group of rebels last night."
After drinking two cups in succession, Zhang Shou smiled when he saw everyone cheering and drinking with him: "This third cup is naturally a tribute to Yingying who shares her birthday today and everyone who is destined to come to Rongshui Village. We are destined to share the same fate.
When we come together, we share the same hardships, so we should share the blessings. We all shouldered the thrill of last night, and naturally we all share in the credit for last night's success!"
Hearing this, because Zhang Wu was cautiously tight-lipped, he originally thought that he had not caught up with anything after sleeping all night. The extremely annoyed Guijie disciples were suddenly excited as if they had been given a shot of blood. Especially when they found out that Zhu Ying
There was no objection to Zhang Shou's words, and they stood up one by one without hesitation in ecstasy.
Like Lu Sanlang, they also guessed the origin of Zhang Shou's clothes. With the Duke of Zhao as his backing and the imperial master Ge Yong as his teacher, how could they compete with others for Zhu Ying? Zhang Shou was willing to share the credit, of course they were.
Accepted!
As for being unwilling or unwilling...that can't be shown right now! Anyway, it's definitely right to stand on the side of Duke Zhao's Mansion!
However, just as Zhang Shou finished the three-cup toast and sat down, enjoying the wine and food in a commotion, Zhang Shou suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves, followed by a hand gently placed on his shoulder.
