I saw him with a flower feather on his head, an iron-grey uniform, horizontal epaulettes with a golden dragon playing with beads pattern, coiled flower armbands, and high polished riding boots.

On the left side of the waist is a three-claw dragon saber with a cool luster, and on the right side is the latest Browning m1900 mobile phone.

His whole body exuded boundless domineering energy.

This man is above average height, has dark skin, broad shoulders, and a purple face. His most distinctive feature is a large black mole on the upper right corner of his mouth.

The first reaction that came to Chen Tianhua's mind was that this mole was larger and darker than Fan Chenggui from Shuangqi Township.

The person who came was none other than Li Shuzhen's biological father, Li Cunzhi, the first commander in chief of the Huai army.

He stood at the door, neither going in nor opening his mouth. He stared at Chen Tianhua sharply with his two small eyes, as if he wanted to see through the other person's internal organs.

This look was so chilling and terrifying that Chen Tianhua couldn't help but stand up.

He was neither humble nor overbearing. He took a step forward and bowed his hands and said loudly: "Junior Chen Tianhua, I took the liberty of going to the Yamen to disturb you. I have offended you. Please forgive me."

Because there was no introduction, although he could determine that the person in front of him was Li Shuzhen's father, Li Cunzhi, the new leader of the new standard, he had to show that he could be polite, not rash and steady.

Therefore, he calls himself a junior, being polite but reserved.

Otherwise, the first impression left on the other party is that this person is frivolous, frivolous and unstable.

"Daddy!"

Li Shuzhen's shouts came from the corridor. She was obviously chasing him out of Biaotong's office, fearing that Li Cunzhi would rush into the room and hurt Chen Tianhua.

"Let him come to the house tomorrow."

Li Cunzhi said nothing, turned around and went down the stairs.

In the courtyard, his guards were waiting with their horses, and Sun Yong was also there.

He got on his horse, walked out of the courtyard gate and rode towards the mansion.

Military attachés in the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to ride in sedan chairs according to court regulations, but could only ride horses or boats.

"Huazhi, let's go." Li Shuzhen called as she came in.

"Qianhua, I feel very sorry for you to be scolded by your father this time because of me." Chen Tianhua went up to him and bowed deeply.

"Look, you're here again. If you say anything about seeing someone outside again, I won't pay attention to you." Li Shuzhen's face darkened and she said angrily.

"I'm sorry to make you angry again. Don't be angry. Can I stop saying these polite words in the future?" He apologized repeatedly.

"That's pretty much it." Li Shuzhen turned her anger into a smile. She sighed and muttered:

"Actually, don't think of yourself as such a great person. My father can't be angry with me just because of your trivial matter. It's because of my personal... marriage. Alas, I don't want to talk about it today. Let's do it tomorrow, tomorrow

You have to help me pass the test."

"No problem, I will go up to the mountain of swords and go down to the sea of ​​fire, Hua Zhiwan will not give up even if I die." Chen Tianhua expressed his stance by slapping his chest.

"Hehe, look at what you said, the matter is far from being so exaggerated. It's even going to be a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire."

The two of them came downstairs talking and laughing. Sun Yong had already brought Lin Gen with him, and Ah Hua and the four of them were waiting downstairs.

Lin Gen and the others had obviously treated their wounds. There were traces of red potion on their faces, and they were all dressed in blue military uniforms of the Qing soldiers, without uniforms.

The military uniforms were all too small. The clothes worn by A Hua and others were just okay, but Lin Gen's clothes were simply miserable, with only half of the trousers and sleeves.

Sun Yong said that he was too tall, and the biggest guy here was just like this.

Wearing this suit is better than being naked.

"Let's go, don't worry about it, let's find an inn nearby to stay."

"Master Chen, go forward one mile and turn to the left. There is an inn there." Sun Yong pointed to Chen Tianhua.

"Thank you, Deacon Sun."

After Chen Tianhua said goodbye to Li Shuzhen and Sun Yong, he led the four of them to the streets of Hangzhou.

…

Li Shuzhen walked into her boudoir from the corridor, closed the door with a "bang..." and threw herself directly on the bed, with her face buried deeply in the quilt.

She was anxious and sad, and her tears couldn't stop flowing, wetting the quilt.

Since 8:30 in the morning, she had been looking at the entrance of the Li Mansion from the corridor balcony at the door of her room, hoping to see the carriage arrive. Chen Huazhi got out of the car in high spirits, knocked on the door and entered the Li Mansion.

She lives on the second floor of the small building in the courtyard. From here, she can overlook the road at the gate of Li's Mansion, and she can clearly see the pedestrians, cars and horses passing by.

But she went in and out of the room dozens of times, and for more than two hours in the morning, Chen Tianhua didn't see even a ghost.

Originally, she could pick him up in a dignified manner, but her father suddenly issued an order last night that she was not allowed to leave the courtyard today, and arranged for two servants to guard the door of the courtyard.

Today happened to be Sunday, so his father had a rest, so he arranged to meet Chen Tianhua alone at his house.

Beginning this year, officials in various yamen of the Qing government implemented a one-day-a-week vacation system, which is in line with the times and in line with the West.

Chen Tianhua didn't show up for a long time, which made Li Shuzhen anxious.

Last night, her father said that if Chen Tianhua cannot meet his requirements for a son-in-law in all aspects, then Li Shuzhen must obey her parents' orders and not engage in free love.

Chen Tianhua failed to come to the appointment today. Could it be that he was afraid and became a deserter?

If this is the case, then she will lose her freedom and become a bird in an old cage.

"Dong dong dong..." Someone knocked on the door.

Li Shuzhen stopped crying and wiped away the tears with her sleeves.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Miss Third!"

It's her personal maid Xiaocui.

She was wearing a moon-white cherry blossom blouse and a dark green skirt. She was holding a tray in her hand and stood solemnly at the door with a smile on her face.

Li Shuzhen looked at her impatiently, "Come in!"

Xiaocui walked in with her head lowered, placed the tray gently on the table, and said, "Miss Third, are you unhappy today?"

"Who said that? Don't worry about it!"

Li Shuzhen was about to lose her temper when she saw a small bowl on the tray and asked, "What's in the bowl?"

The maid Xiaocui said with a smile:

"This is the bird's nest soup that my wife asked me to make. Just now, my wife saw that the third lady was always looking in and out of the corridor, and asked if she would get angry in a hurry, so she ordered me to boil some bird's nests and bring some over to moisten the girl's energy.

"

"Miss Third, if you don't want to move, just lie down on the bed and let Xiaocui feed you!"

Third Aunt Taibai Suling, since she took charge of the family, the servants no longer call her Third Mrs., omitting the "three" in front of her, and call her "Mrs."

The number of words is fewer, but the status is very different. You have been promoted!

In the late Qing Dynasty, the concubine in charge was equivalent to the wife of the main wife.

And Mrs. Zhong is still the ‘second wife’.

Li Shuzhen pouted and said, "Is this what my mother said?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Cui nodded.

"Hmph... bring it here and I will eat it myself."

To be honest, Li Shudian was really hungry and didn't want to eat breakfast. Besides, this was bird's nest soup. I hadn't eaten it for a long time and wanted to try it.

The maid Xiaocui was a little hesitant, "Miss Third, I see your eyes are red, I'd better feed you."

Li Shuzhen shook her head and said sadly:

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm such a big girl now, why do I need you to feed me? Bring it over here, I can do it myself."

When the maid Xiaocui saw that the young lady lost her temper, of course she didn't dare to be nagging anymore and quickly put the tray on the bedside table.

Li Shuzhen took a mouthful with a small spoon. Hmm...it tastes sweet but not greasy, smooth in the mouth, and has a good texture.
