Chapter five hundred and ninety eight: Brother Heng
It was because of his sworn brotherhood with Liu Renli that Xiu'er became his pampered sister. In the following days, this identity also made him suppress some of his thoughts.
But now it’s different. She became the lord of Qingping County, and the relationship between them, the righteous brother and sister was also denied by the empress dowager. Zhou Heng didn’t know what identity to use for a moment, so he came to contact Xiu'er.
This is also why I came to Beishan in the past two days but didn't go to see Xiu'er. Looking at the far-fetched smile on Xiu'er's face, Zhou Heng felt distressed and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Zhou Heng stared at him and said in a pretentious manner:
"What's your name? If you call me Master, what's your brother calling me? Isn't this even more messy?"
Liu Xiu'er was stunned and thought for a moment. She was indeed a little troubled. Although they were about the same age, Zhou Heng was indeed her master. If she called her this, it would really make her brother a little embarrassed and there was no sound for a moment.
Zhou Heng grabbed her sleeve and walked quickly towards a wood next to the medical school. It has been transformed into a landscape similar to a small park. It is not very lush, but it looks quite pleasing to the eye.
He came to the stone table and chair, pressed Xiu'er's shoulders and sat on the chair, and he also sat opposite him.
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Heng raised his eyes and looked at Xiu'er.
"I don't know if it's the county magistrate or the Zhongyuan magistrate?"
Liu Xiu'er was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhou Heng was thinking about this. Then he looked up and down at Zhou Heng. His eyes had already explained everything. You don't know how to become an official?
Zhou Heng waved his hand, his face looking a little embarrassed.
"Don't look at me like this. Although I have been a magistrate for several months, I have been to the Imperial Hospital less than three times in total. I wore the official uniform once and went to the palace. I was even dismissed from my official position. I was either busy with surgery or the affairs of Beishan every day. How could I know about these?"
Liu Xiu'er sighed, with a three-point smile on her face. In fact, as long as she sees Zhou Heng, she will be really angry. This is really the truth.
"The county lord is a title, not an official position. Generally, the daughter of a prince can be named the county lord. I, Daliang, have precedents that the daughter of a minister is named the county lord, but it is indeed very rare. If you have to say that the county lord is equivalent to the second rank in terms of rank."
Zhou Heng was a little surprised, and his face was full of surprise.
"When the emperor promoted my uncle Zhongyuan, he said that he was a third-class count and needed to be inherited as a fourth-rank official. I am already the last one. If he was inherited as an inherited as a senior, I would have it in my generation. Now compared with Xiu'er, I am still a thousand miles away."
Liu Xiu'er nodded slightly, "Everyone who is promoted must be treated according to the etiquette of the royal family. Even fathers and brothers must comply with the etiquette of the royal family."
Zhou Heng nodded, "So that's it. In the future, your elder brother will be called the Lord of Qingping when he sees you. I can't just keep saying "Your"?
Liu Xiu'er sighed and nodded slightly. In fact, this is what she meant. Although she did not change her name, she was nominally a member of the Zhu family of the royal family. This is the greatest favor and no one can change it.
Zhou Heng grinned, felt a little excited when he thought about it, and stood up and bowed to Liu Xiu'er.
"Come on, practice first. Zhou has met the county lord Qingping. Your county lord's mansion has not been transferred yet. I will feel wronged by you these days. I will stay in my mansion for the time being."
Liu Xiu'er was amused by Zhou Heng's serious look. The haze of the past was wiped out. Yes, such days are all luxury in the future, so it's better to cherish them!
"Then what am I calling you?"
Zhou Heng waved his hand, looking indifferent.
"It's great to call your name, or Brother Zhou, and Doctor Zhou Langjun is also a good choice. The names are all called for others. If you have any questions, as long as I know, you will still be the kind and intelligent Xiu'er in Qingping County!"
Liu Xiu'er raised her head slightly and looked at Zhou Heng's eyes. She knew from knowing Zhou Heng that Zhou Heng was a different person. From her thoughts to knowledge, she was so special, and because of this specialness, she attracted her attention.
Zhou Heng's eyes were clear. These words were his true words. Xiu'er could feel them. Now that she thought about the county lord, she would no longer call him the second brother in the future. This seemed to be a good thing.
Moreover, the idea that I had no chance in my heart seemed to be gradually sprouting. It was not that my brother looked good now, and maybe there were some possibilities...
Thinking of this, the haze in Liu Xiu'er's heart scattered. She had been unhappy for two days and was still sad. She seemed to have starlight flashing in her eyes, and she blinked and stared at Zhou Heng's eyes.
"Okay, you can't call me the county lord, or the name Xiu'er. I'll call you Zhou Heng, President Zhou, Brother Heng?"
Zhou Heng was slightly stunned when he heard the last title, and then his chest felt warm, and a special feeling rose in his heart. He couldn't say what it was, but he just wanted to take care of the person in front of him. Zhou Heng nodded slightly.
"Since, you still have to be called the Prince of Qingping in the palace. There are no outsiders who call it casually. By the way, I have to let you serve as a medical officer. In fact, it is to manage these doctors and girls, so you don't have to go to the Imperial Hospital.
In addition, there are still some things to be busy these days. After I finish my work, I will take you to Tongzhou. Although I have sent someone to send a message to Tongzhou yesterday, I still have to go there. After all, that is your brother, so I should go and check it out."
Xiu'er nodded and then looked at Zhou Heng in confusion. After all, Zhou Heng was mysterious and looked like a smile. Obviously, she didn't know something.
Usually when encountering such a thing, Zhou Heng would not have to ask, and he would not help but tell him that he didn't know what was wrong today, but Zhou Heng just pursed his lips and smiled, and did not continue.
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Heng glanced at Xiu'er. The girl stared at her eyes, looking curious, and immediately became interested in her.
He grabbed Xiu'er and sat on the stone bench, approached Xiu'er and said:
"There are two things that need to be done in a hurry. One has actually been arranged. Didn't the sheep raised behind our Beishan use feed with added herbs?
This was directly discussed with the Ministry of War in the name of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and then he could get the military supplies. He did not know the income and found a sales channel for his elder brother's corn stalks. It was a killing two birds with one stone.
As for the other thing, the Xianwang went to Huichuntang this morning. It happened that I had just arrived and he went there. Guess what he was going to do?"
Liu Xiu'er had a moment of worry on her face. After all, during the Chinese New Year, the third prince sent a lot of gifts, especially two boxes of toys for Dong'er and Sheng'er. Although Zhou Heng didn't say it, he could feel Zhou Heng's concerns.
