After a while, Qi Zhengzhong couldn't find a reason not to go, and he seemed to be afraid that she would be sad if he refused, which was a rather contradictory feeling. At the same time, he knew that he was not familiar with the place on this planet, so he might as well go to her house first and get to know her better.
This country knows how to survive even if it leaves her home in the future.
"Then I'll trouble Miss Zhu. I'll bother you in the house for a while. Please don't tell me that I used to be a monk!"
"I know, don't worry. The ones I brought out are the ones who know you are a monk now. However, after you were injured, I have strictly ordered them not to leak your information or whereabouts." Zhu Minglan saw Qi Zhengzhong and agreed.
, also said very happily, but there was a hint of asking for credit in his tone, and also revealed a joy that only a little girl can have.
Qi Zhengzhong looked at Zhu Minglan with a smile. He had never looked at her carefully before because she was wearing armor. Zhu Minglan's beauty was not inferior to Hui'er and Wushuang at all, and even had a bit more heroic spirit than them. With her exquisite facial features,
Her curvy figure, coupled with her gorgeous tight-fitting outfit, made people look at her more and more. At the same time, an idiom "powerful country and beautiful city" flashed in Qi Zhengzhong's mind. It is not too much to apply it to her!
Zhu Minglan didn't blush when she and Qi Zhengzhong looked at each other just now, but now she blushed at Qi Zhengzhong's critical look. Noticing Zhu Minglan's shyness, Qi Zhengzhong also realized that he was a little rude. He quickly withdrew his gaze and stared.
Looking at the distant scenery, Zhu Minglan was shy but a little happy.
In this way, Qi Zhengzhong arrived at the Zhenguo General's Mansion as Zhu Minglan's newly hired military advisor.
Entering the mansion, Zhu Minglan took Qi Zhengzhong with her and saw her mother in the main hall. "Mom, this is my newly hired military advisor Qi Zhengzhong - the great military advisor of Qi." As soon as she saw her mother, Zhu Minglan introduced Qi Zhengzhong.
.
"Hello, Mrs. Zhu! I'm sorry to bother you!" Qi Zhengzhong said with a bow.
Hearing the introduction of his daughter, and the hint of ridicule in Zhu Minglan's tone, he suddenly said in his heart: "This kid doesn't even greet guests loudly in advance when he brings guests back! Mr. Qi, please sit down! Come and serve tea!"
"
"Mom, when will dad come back? Has Zixu Kingdom not withdrawn its troops yet?" Zhu Minglan helped the old lady sit down and inquired.
"It's almost time. You should be back tomorrow. Your father wrote a letter saying that if you hadn't led five thousand people to burn the grain and grass of Zixu Kingdom, they would not have withdrawn so quickly. Your father also asked if you had come back after burning the grain and grass.
I want to give you a first credit!" Mrs. Zhu held her daughter's hand and said with a smile, while glancing at Qi Zhengzhong with her peripheral vision.
Qi Zhengzhong looked at the mother and daughter with their intimate expressions, and thought of Shi Hui and Liu Wushuang again. His eyes couldn't help but darken. I am afraid they will never have the chance to meet each other in this life. It must have spread around the earth that he was killed.
They must also know the news.
They must think I'm dead, but actually that's fine. What's the difference between my appearance now and my death? As an ordinary person, my lifespan is only a few dozen years, compared to a monk's lifespan of thousands of years.
The age is completely different!
Qi Zhengzhong's dim eyes did not escape Madam Zhu's eyes. Unfortunately, he did not know that Qi Zhengzhong was thinking of his own affairs. "Lan'er, you are still wearing this military uniform at home. What do you look like? Go and change it quickly."
!" Mrs. Zhu said to Zhu Minglan. After hearing this, Zhu Minglan stuck out her tongue playfully and ran to the backyard.
After sending Zhu Minglan away, Mrs. Zhu said: "I see that Mr. Qi is about the same age as my daughter. If you don't mind, I'll call you Zhengzhong. Don't call me Mrs. Zhu, just call me aunt!"
Qi Zhengzhong didn't know that his lack of concentration had caused Madam Zhu's misunderstanding, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face. Madam Zhu looked only in her thirties, or at most forty, and when she thought about it, she was also in her forties.
Now that she is a woman, it is not too much to call her sister. However, her appearance has not changed since she became a Taoist, and she has always looked like she is in her mid-twenties.
"Auntie!" Qi Zhengzhong still yelled bravely. He couldn't tell him that he was a monk. He was almost half a century old.
It turned out that Mrs. Zhu was worried about her daughter. She was already quite old now. Although there were people who came to propose marriage, and her family and character were all good, she didn't like her own daughter. She finally brought back a young man who looked pretty good.
Yes, family conditions don't matter, as long as the daughter likes him. Now it would be bad if his daughter's ability to lead soldiers and fights had hit this young man's heart and made his daughter miss out on this good relationship.
Then Mrs. Zhu had the mentality of a mother-in-law looking down on her son-in-law. Thinking about her daughter's military talents, even her father was full of praise and kept sighing that Lan'er was born as a girl, otherwise she would definitely be his best successor. Now the leader
A young man came back and said he was the military advisor he invited back. Isn’t it true that this place has three hundred taels of silver?
The look in Mrs. Zhu's mother-in-law's eyes made Qi Zhengzhong's scalp tingle. "Zhengzhong, what do your parents do?" Mrs. Zhu looked at it for a while and felt very satisfied. She didn't know how her family was, so she asked.
road.
"Ah! Both my parents have passed away!" Qi Zhengzhong's face darkened when Mrs. Zhu asked her coldly.
"Poor child, have you always lived by yourself? Have you got a family? How about you live in the house for a long time? Anyway, there are many houses, so you will have nothing to do if you have nothing to do!"
Qi Zheng suddenly broke into a sweat. If she wanted to get married, she would have to tell Hui'er and the others. But if she asked herself where Hui'er and the others were, what would she answer? Qi Zheng was in a hurry as to how to answer.
Zhu Minglan suddenly appeared and took over the conversation: "Mom, how can you ask someone like this? Qi Zhengzhong is the military advisor I invited back. Also, he has just come to the capital, and he will stay at Zhamen's house for a while. Let him live there.
Green Bamboo Garden!"
When Mrs. Zhu heard what her daughter said, she quickly said: "Okay, okay! I was just about to let him stay here! Someone is here!" A man in his fifties came in outside the door, looking very shrewd!
"Steward Liu, take nephew Qi Xian..."
"Cui Bamboo Garden is ready, it's usually idle there anyway!" Zhu Minglan interrupted!
"Yes, Miss!" Butler Liu responded, Qi Zhengzhong bowed to Madam Zhu and Zhu Minglan, and then followed Butler Liu out of the hall.
When Zhu Minglan heard her mother call her nephew Qi Zhengzhong, Qi Zhengzhong actually didn't respond. He looked strange for a while, then turned red and looked shy, but then changed back. But all this did not escape Mrs. Zhu's eyes, and in her heart
Still calculating, even the Green Bamboo Garden has been given away, it seems there is a way!
"Master Qi, this is the Cuizhu Garden. It is usually empty. Only the young lady comes here to read sometimes. No one disturbs me. If you have anything, you can ask Xiaocui or Xiaozhu to inform me, or you can ask them directly.
You can go and do it alone." The two of them said as they entered the small courtyard, they met two girls who were busy.
Butler Liu pointed at them and said: "This is Xiaocui, and this is Xiaozhu. They are the maids in charge of this small courtyard. If there is anything, just send them there."
"Thank you, Butler Liu. I don't need anyone to take care of me. I can be alone. I like peace and quiet!" Qi Zhengzhong smiled and rejected the serving girl!
"Well, Master Qi, the two of them were designated by the young lady to serve this small courtyard when she was reading. I have no right to transfer them!"
"That's it, okay, I'll make an agreement with Miss Zhu when I get back!"
"Xiaocui, Xiaozhu, this is Master Qi, Miss's guest. From now on, you two must take good care of me when you live here!"
"My slave has met Master Qi!" The two girls saluted together.
"Get up, don't be like this! Don't call me young master, I can't afford it. Just call me Qi Zhengzhong!" Qi Zhengzhong hurriedly helped the two girls up and said, Qi Zhengzhong's look made the two girls laugh.
After sending away Butler Liu, Qi Zhengzhong began to look at the small courtyard. It was very exquisite, especially the bamboo forest in the north. There were bursts of bamboo fragrance and the sound of birds singing, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
