After Being Picked up and Brought Home by a Straw Bag Beauty

Because I really like Zhao Moran, so in order to realize my dream, I wrote a side story that is more about family and affection~ The food may not necessarily be delicious, but the important thing is to generate electricity for love hahahaha ——Text—— Although Zhao Moran walked away from death and suffered injuries all over his body, his days of recuperation were still very happy. The northwest was still that boring place with wild winds filling the sky and loess soil everywhere, but because of the arrival of Hua Chenfeng, everything became beautiful, even if he was only allowed to lie in bed and meditate. The news that Zhao Chengyu and Hua Qingchen decided to hold a grand wedding in the capital "saved" Zhao Moran, who had been lying flat. The war in the northwest had calmed down for the time being, and several major tribes were no longer able to resist in a short period of time. Zhao Moran's injuries were also recovering, so after he and Hua Chenfeng settled the garrison matters, they hurried back to the capital. After the wedding, Zhao Chengyu and Hua Qingchen set off to the Chen family in Jiangnan to visit their grandfather Chen Dongyuan. Hua Chenfeng originally wanted to go with them, but he couldn't worry about Chu Yize who had to clean up the mess, so he chose to stay first and help the new emperor through the most difficult beginning with his father. As a result, Zhao Moran found a rare moment of leisure. The top priority at the moment was to rectify the internal affairs. As a general who was fighting abroad, he went to court every day as usual, listening to the courtiers' letters, and then he became an idler. However, Zhao Moran has been stationed in the northwest all year round. When he returned to Beijing this time, he really felt the changes in the capital over the years. Lao Huo, relying on the fact that he had been back once before and was considered a half-acquaintance, volunteered to take the general to take a tour of today's Kyoto. Lin Yimu also joined in and warmly invited Zhao Moran to sit in Yimuzhai more often. So Great Liang's Dinghai Shenzhen was taken to the sixth floor of Yimuzhai, and he somehow learned how to hit the horse crane. Of course, no matter what Zhao Moran did during the day, he would go to the palace every evening to take Hua Chenfeng home for dinner. Hua Haihan has long accepted the choices of her two sons and is pleased that they have found their own happiness. But... After all, his granddaughter's dream was shattered, so the old father still felt a little pity. However, Hua Haihan was not willing to express his temperament, so he could only have a little awkwardness. In addition, after Zhou Xingmin left, although Chu Yize tried hard to devote himself to government affairs, how could he fill the emptiness in his heart? Therefore, Hua Haihan would always use the excuse of "accompanying His Majesty to handle some government affairs more" to stay in the palace and have dinner with Chu Yize instead of going home to see his son and son-in-law show affection. On this day, after having dinner, Zhao Moran and Hua Chenfeng were admiring the moon in the courtyard of the General's Mansion. Hua Chenfeng mentioned that his mission was almost completed and it was time to go to Jiangnan to see his grandfather and find his brothers. This meant that he could stay with the person he liked all the time. Zhao Moran was naturally happy, but he still asked: "Your Majesty... Is he okay?" "Government affairs are handled more and more smoothly, and the cooperation with the ministers is becoming more and more tacit. A series of reform ideas for the benefit of the people are gradually maturing... If we say that as His Majesty, he is indeed getting better and better, as long as he is not allowed to idle." Hua Chenfeng's tone was calm, but there was a faint worry on his face. During the break a few days ago, Hua Chenfeng saw that Chu Yize was in a daze, so he asked his servants to bring some of his favorite snacks, hoping to at least divert Chu Yize's attention. Hua Chenfeng placed the snacks in front of Chu Yize and called him "Your Majesty" softly, but Chu Yize suddenly showed a lonely smile and murmured: "Yes, no one will call me anything other than Your Majesty in the future." Relatives who used to call his name are now his subjects. Of the parents who can still call him by his name, one died in the past and the other left the future without him. And the person who wanted to hear him call her name most could not keep him in the end. In any case, Chu Yize's inner scars will take time to heal. After Hua Chenfeng and Zhao Moran said goodbye to Chu Yize, they also embarked on the road to Jiangnan. On the day the two of them arrived at Chen's house, Dr. Zhou happened to be back from his travels and visited an old friend's house. When he saw his patient, Dr. Zhou habitually asked about Zhao Moran's condition. Chen Dongyuan didn't know these things, so he asked Hua Qingchen in a low voice. Hua Qingchen told his grandfather that when several major tribes jointly invaded the northwest, Zhao Moran almost died defending the city. It was Zhao Chengyu who had an ominous premonition and called Dr. Zhou in advance to save him. After listening to Hua Qingchen's explanation, Chen Dongyuan nodded clearly, but his eyes when looking at Zhao Moran seemed to have more incomprehensible emotions than when they first met. ———— In the days when Zhao Chengyu and Hua Qingchen were together, Chen Dongyuan's life was colorful. If he wanted to do morning exercises, someone would accompany him to do Tai Chi; Now there are more people who can accompany Chen Dongyuan. The old man is happy every day and eats more than usual. But Zhao Chengyu still found some sense of inconsistency in the details. It seemed that Chen Dongyuan's attitude towards himself and towards Zhao Moran were subtly different. Although Zhao Chengyu has always been treated as his own child in the Chen family, and Chen Dongyuan is a bit like an old child, he is Hua Qingchen's grandfather after all, so the relationship between Zhao Chengyu and Chen Dongyuan always balances "friend-like companionship" and "respect between elder and younger" very well. But Zhao Chengyu found that Chen Dongyuan seemed to be deliberately hinting to Zhao Moran, hoping that he would be the same age or younger than him. For example, when he had eaten to his heart's content, he had to pull someone to punch him, but Zhao Moran, who had not panicked on the battlefield, hurriedly started to learn boxing from the old man at the wine table; for example, he secretly took someone to the wine cellar to steal wine, and after being discovered by Chen's eldest son, he defended Zhao Moran with awe and awe, claiming "I want my eldest brother to drink something good"... Zhao Chengyu was a little unsure. Naturally, he would not be offended because his eldest brother was treated specially. On the contrary, he was a little worried that his grandfather's sudden "care" might have some hidden meaning. On this day, everyone took a boat trip to the lake for an afternoon. After Hua Chenfeng returned home, he felt a little headache. Doctor Zhou took his pulse and said he had contracted the cold. He prescribed medicine and told him to drink it and get a good night's sleep. So everyone had no intention of having fun that night, and went back to their rooms to rest early after dinner. Hua Qingchen returned to the bedroom after taking a bath and saw Zhao Chengyu sitting on the bed in a daze. "What are you thinking about?" "Read it." Zhao Chengyu came back to his senses and stood up to greet Hua Qingchen. The two sat back on the bed together. Zhao Chengyu said what he had been doubting in his heart, "I was thinking that grandpa's attitude towards my eldest brother seems a bit strange." Ever since Zhao Moran and Hua Chenfeng had mutual feelings and decided to stay together for the rest of their lives, the two younger brothers decided to call Zhao Moran "eldest brother" and Hua Chenfeng "elder brother" in order to prevent confusion in their titles. "Well, your attitude is particularly good." Hua Qingchen thought for a while and said, "But you seem to be worried." "My eldest brother has always been mature and steady, and is the standard of a perfect child in the eyes of the elders. But I always feel that grandpa doesn't like this 'standard', and would rather he be... Um... A little more rebellious?" Zhao Chengyu considered the words, but because his mind was a little confused, he couldn't think of words that could accurately describe his feelings. Hua Qingchen was amused by Zhao Chengyu's "deviant" words, and silently helped Zhao Chengyu correct his wording: Just do whatever you want. Seeing Hua Qingchen's lips curved, Zhao Chengyu's mood also improved: "I must be thinking too much." "Actually, grandpa is just a little defensive." Hua Qingchen could probably guess what grandpa was thinking. "Protect one's shortcomings?" Zhao Chengyu was stunned. Hua Qingchen rarely saw Zhao Chengyu's confused expression and chuckled: "Grandpa, he just hopes that the children can live happily and not have so many responsibilities." Zhao Chengyu understood the implication of Hua Qingchen's words. Zhao Moran was the eldest brother and had been responsible for supporting the Zhao family since he was a child. He was also the general of Great Liang and was responsible for protecting the people of his home and country... He respected his elders, doted on his younger brother, and cared about the world, but rarely thought about himself. So at least at home, Chen Dongyuan hopes that he can be an ordinary child. "From the day my eldest brother and elder brother came, I told my grandpa that my eldest brother almost died in the northwest, and he began to worry. But if it were you who was defending the city, you would naturally fight to the last moment." Zhao Chengyu nodded, and he understood that the reason why Zhao Moran refused to retreat was to reduce the burden on Hua Chenfeng who was guarding the other side. "If the person who encountered the same situation at that time was my elder brother, I think he would have made the same choice. So grandpa was worried not only about his elder brother, but also about us." The reason why they chose to give special care to Zhao Mo instead of Zhao Chengyu is because the eldest brother will always stand in the way. Before they sacrifice themselves, they will never let the worst outcome appear in front of their beloved younger brother. At the same time, in Chen Dongyuan's room, he and Dr. Zhou were also discussing the same topic - "... Actually, when it comes to these children, no matter who they are, they will make the same choice." Dr. Zhou said, "But you seem to be particularly concerned about the boss of the Zhao family this time." "Because he is so similar to Chen Feng." Chen Dongyuan sighed, "When Yao'er left, Chen Feng was still a half-year-old child, and his father failed to recover, so he hid the pain of losing his mother in his heart and silently took on the responsibility of taking care of the Hua family and taking care of his younger brother." "Life and death are things that cannot be controlled, but no matter what, there will be people left behind. People who are used to taking responsibility can continue to endure and pay as long as they still have responsibilities, and live with the pain that only they know." "So what I'm actually afraid of is not that one day my children will die in battle, but that they will have to force themselves to be strong after losing their loved ones." Having said this, Chen Dongyuan thought of Zhao Chengyu and Hua Qingchen again. If it were them, they might choose to live and die together and never live alone. This kind of decision would be easier. After listening to Chen Dongyuan's words, Dr. Zhou was silent for a long time before speaking: "Yes..." Chen Dongyuan felt that he had said too many sad words and wanted to lighten the atmosphere: "To put it bluntly, it won't do much good if I lead them to misbehave now. I just hope they can learn to do whatever they want." "Then why don't you lead our little general to fool around?" "... That boy is already free-spirited enough. Last time I caught him pulling Nian Zhi to fool around! And for him, the first priority now is to help him master the horse hoist first. Every time this silly boy wants to please me, he writes 'Grandpa, let me help you light up the Hu' written on his face. Hu has no sense of accomplishment at all, so can't he do it without leaving any traces?!" "Hahahaha..." The two old men laughed together, and Chen Dongyuan felt much more comfortable after telling his old friend what was on his mind: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and I don't intend to interfere too much. They can live whatever they want, and they can be happy when they return home. Our Great General of Great Liang is used to being everyone's backing, but he forgot that there are family members who can back him up." "So we help them hope for a few more years of peace in this world." "The person sitting on the throne now is my other grandson. Can you look forward to it more?" Chen Dongyuan gave Dr. Zhou a long look. "I'm just telling the truth." Doctor Zhou raised the corner of his mouth. Although he could not help but think of Zhou Xingmin because of the mention of Chu Yize, but as Chen Dongyuan said, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Instead of worrying too much and getting into trouble, it is better to let them go and let them go on their own, as long as they understand that there will always be someone in the distance waiting for them to come back. … After chatting with Hua Qingchen, Zhao Chengyu was about to go to bed, but suddenly he remembered that something was missing in the room. "By the way, where's Ba Liang?" This time they came to Jiangnan for a long time. They were afraid that Ba Liang would be too lonely if he stayed alone in the capital, so they took him with them. After Hua Qingchen asked Zhao Chengyu this question, he remembered that when he was alone in a daze just now, Ba Liang came to rub his feet a few times. Maybe because he didn't get a response, he ran away again. On the first night when Ba Liang came to the Chen Mansion, he sneaked out of the yard and ran around while no one was paying attention to him at night, and even broke a flower pot that Chen Dongyuan liked very much. Therefore, Zhao Chengyu and Hua Qingchen would lock Ba Liang in their room during rest time, but they were negligent today. There was no other way, so the two of them had to go separately to find the cat and bring it back as soon as possible before it caused any trouble. Hua Qingchen went all the way to find the side courtyard where Zhao Moran and Hua Chenfeng lived. From a distance, he saw Zhao Moran sitting alone on a stone bench in the courtyard, and Ba Liang was lying comfortably on Zhao Moran's lap and being masturbated. After getting closer, Hua Qingchen noticed that there seemed to be only eight or two cats enjoying it. There was not much expression on Zhao Moran's face, as if petting the cat was just a subconscious action, but he was a bit like Zhao Chengyu who had just been sitting on the bed in a daze. "Nianzhi?" Zhao Moran's expression softened when he saw Hua Qingchen coming over, "Are you here to see Ba Liang?" Hua Qingchen nodded and called eldest brother obediently. Zhao Moran was just about to give Hua Qingchen a hug, but he saw that he also sat down. Originally, according to Hua Qingchen's character, after finding Ba Liang, he would at most say a polite word such as "please bother me" and then go back. However, perhaps the influence of his conversation with Zhao Chengyu tonight was still there. After seeing Zhao Moran in a daze, he hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to ask more: "Brother, are you worried about your brother?" Zhao Moran was startled for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "Old miracle doctor Zhou said that you can just take medicine and sleep for one night, so of course it's nothing serious." Hua Qingchen said "hmm" and said nothing more, but Zhao Moran saw that he actually wanted to ask "then what are you worried about", but felt a little awkward and didn't know how to say it. Zhao Moran suddenly realized that although his relationship with Hua Qingchen could be regarded as a close relationship now, he had almost never spent time alone with this younger brother in the past. When they were both in the capital, he would go to Hua Chenfeng and occasionally meet Hua Qingchen. After he went to the northwest, he had no chance to meet. Hua Qingchen and Zhao Chengyu are different. Zhao Moran loves and cares for Zhao Chengyu, but on the other hand, Zhao Chengyu is also very proactive towards his elder brother. But when getting along with Hua Qingchen, what he needs is for others to take the initiative to approach him. "Actually, I'm worried about Zi Wang." Zhao Moran decided to respond to Hua Qingchen proactively, "I feel like he seems to have something on his mind. Although he hides it well, he still gets distracted occasionally." Hua Qingchen blinked, a little helpless. The two brothers were worrying about each other's feelings. "Maybe it's because my grandpa is jealous." Hua Qingchen said nonsense seriously. Of course Zhao Moran knew that his brother would not be like this, but Hua Qingchen's words should not be said casually. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked Hua Qingchen tentatively: "Is he... Worried about me?" "Not now." Zhao Moran thought about Hua Qingchen's words again: So this means that Zi Wang was indeed worried about me at first, but they relaxed after talking, right? Zhao Moran, who only now understood that Hua Qingchen's words required guessing, couldn't laugh or cry. "Is it bothering you, brother?" Do you mean that you will be troubled by your grandpa's "partiality"? Zhao Moran replied: "I should be flattered, but I was quite happy afterwards." "That's good. Grandpa hopes that my eldest brother and my elder brother can cherish themselves more. At least when they are around him, they can take off the burden on their shoulders and just enjoy happiness." After saying this, Hua Qingchen added in a low voice, "The same goes for us." Isn't this also a way to open up your heart? Zhao Moran looked at Hua Qingchen, who silently turned away his eyes, with a spring breeze smile on his face. "Okay." Zhao Moran stood up and handed Ba Liang to Hua Qingchen, "It's getting late. Take Ba Liang back to rest quickly. Zi Wang should be impatient." After Ba Liang came into Hua Qingchen's arms, he looked back at Zhao Moran, who waved gently to Ba Liang. Hua Qingchen raised his eyes and saw Zhao Moran's smile. Although the two Zhao brothers were not biological and their appearance was not similar, in Hua Qingchen's view, they had the same infectious smile. It's just that Zhao Chengyu's smile is bright and dazzling, as if to say that he is willing to always rush to the front to fight for you; while Zhao Moran's smile is warm and comfortable, as if to say that he will always stand behind you to protect you. ———— An ordinary night passed, and the worries and doubts of the old and young in the Chen family were all resolved. A new day begins with Chen Dongyuan's determination to teach the two Zhao brothers how to play horse hanging. However, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Moran had witnessed the grand scene on the sixth floor of Yimuzhai when he was in the capital, and had already mastered this skill that was most pleasing to his grandfather. Chen Dongyuan was surprised to find that when playing Ma Diao with Zhao Moran, although he did not play as many cards as Zhao Chengyu did when he "pointed out the cards straightforwardly", he could always inadvertently make himself play the most difficult cards. His happiness and sense of accomplishment doubled! At this time, Zhao Chengyu was completely kicked off the table and reduced to a footman serving tea and water. Hua Qingchen: Could it be that my jealousy about my grandpa's preference is coming true now?
