Chu Zheng walked out of Wu Anran's residence
A group of people came towards him. Chu Zheng looked at him. He was from the Chu family in Shangjing, so he stood on the side of the road and asked them to go first.
During this relocation, there are many people who are resentful in Shangjing Chu family. Chu Zheng does not want to conflict with it anymore. Since he has benefited, he does not need to be arrogant anymore.
Unexpectedly, these people stopped beside Chu Zheng, and an old voice exclaimed: Isn’t this Zheng'er?
Chu Zheng calmed down and saw that it was Chu Tianfang, the grandfather whom he saw when he first arrived in the capital that day, so he bowed his head and said, "Grandson, see Grandpa Tang."
Chu Tianfang helped him up, looked at him for a while, and smiled: It's indeed extraordinary
Someone suddenly snorted coldly behind Chu Tianfang. Chu Zheng glanced at him and found that they were all acquaintances. The leader was Chu Shenping. The boys behind him also kissed his fists that day.
Chu Tianfang seemed to have not heard of it and said to Chu Zheng: I heard that your grandfather gave him his set of treasure armor to you as well?
Chu Zheng replied: That's right
Chu Tian sighed: Your grandfather was powerful in the northern border back then. You can inherit his mantle, but you must cherish it. After saying that, he patted Chu Zheng on the shoulder and said again: Yes, turn around and leave.
Chu Shenping and others hurriedly followed and stared at Chu Zheng with resentment before leaving.
Chu Zheng didn't take it in his heart at all, and bowed to Chu Tian's back. He truly respected the old man. It was so courageous that he could pass on such a large family to an outsider.
Chu Zheng was still arranged to live in the outing garden, so this big move is basically nothing he has done
He wanted to go out for a walk, but Wang Xiuhe gave him a strict order and was not allowed to leave the house recently, which made him confused and could not remember when he offended his mother again, so he had to practice martial arts all day in the garden.
After finishing practicing, Chu Zheng ordered Ouyang Zhimin to bring Huo Yunju over.
Yesterday he took the time to see the Huoyun Cat. Seeing that it was listless and had a few pounds of fat on its body, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed. He thought that this horse was originally galloping between the world outside the border, but now it was locked in the stables in the capital. It was really painful. If this continues, it will probably be ruined.
So Ouyang Zhimin ordered dozens of bamboo poles in the garden, and Chu Zheng turned over and performed a short-distance obstacle running.
Huo Yunju was not very interested at first, but was punched by Chu Zheng before getting energetic. After playing for a while, it began to think it was quite interesting and ran even more happily
Wang Xiuhe walked in from outside and saw the scene in the garden, and couldn't help but exclaim: Zheng'er, what are you doing?
Chu Zheng heard his mother call him, jumped off the horse, walked over with a smile and said: The child has seen his mother and the child is just looking at the fire cloud horse, so he takes it out for a walk.
Wang Xiuhe pointed behind him and said: Look at how your yard is like?
Chu Zheng looked back and saw that the yard was full of devastation. The originally green lawn was trampled to pieces. He couldn't help but blush and scratched his head and said: It was the child who was negligent.
Wang Xiuhe shook her head and said: When you were in Pingyuan City, you were a well-behaved child. Why did you get to the capital? You caused more trouble than your two brothers combined.
Liu Qingru heard the wife's voice and walked out of the house. Seeing that the courtyard was like this, she was at a loss.
Wang Xiuhe snorted and said: Forget it, let’s talk about it when you enter the house.
After entering the house, Wang Xiuhe asked her maids to wait outside. Seeing that Liu Qingru wanted to leave, she said: Qingru, you can stay.
After looking at Zijuan and Cuiling, Wang Xiuhe hesitated for a while and said: You two should stay, too
Seeing that his mother looked solemn, Chu Zheng knew there was something important to tell him, but he was a little surprised why he left Liu Qingru and the other two.
Wang Xiuhe looked at them and suddenly sighed: It's really a matter of time to use it.
Although Chu Mingtang has many counselors around him, there may be few who are very useful. When encountering a big event, the couple decided to decide after discussing it. Not to mention Zheng'er, he is still underage and has no close friends around him. Only he is a mother.
The four of them were inexplicably surprised by Wang Xiuhe's sudden sigh, and they all stared at her in a daze.
Wang Xiuhe said to Liu Qingru: Qingru, you are the granddaughter of Fan Xiaotong, a great scholar of the Southern Dynasty, right?
Liu Qingru's delicate body shook and her face turned pale
Wang Xiuhe said: Fan Xiaotong is a great scholar of his generation, and a great literary generation. I admire your grandfather for a long time but he admires the word "Loyalty to the Lord" most in his life. Even when the Emperor of Southern Qi wanted to kill him, he went to death with great pride, but so what? The emperor was still addicted to the wind, flowers, snow and moon, singing every night.
I think Fan Xiao’s actions are just to be foolish and loyal, and they will never be able to transform into stubbornness. In the end, they will only destroy their families. The males will be exiled to the frontier, and the granddaughter will fall into the dust.
When Chu Zheng heard the word Feng Chen, he couldn't help but complain. How did his mother know about this?
Liu Qingru clasped the back of the chair with his hands tightly, and his knuckles were faintly white. He raised his eyebrows and said: Grandpa's loyalty to the emperor and the country can be seen, and his wife, although the little woman is now in the Chu family, no one is allowed to insult his grandfather.
She thought to herself that since her wife knew that she was a high-ranking official in Southern Qi and a brothel woman, the Chu Mansion might not be able to stay, so she no longer called herself a slave.
Wang Xiuhe looked at her coldly and said: Your temper is so stubborn, it is somewhat similar to your grandfather. You are lucky. If you are a master like Zheng'er, you might have died for a long time.
Liu Qingru bowed and said: The lady and the young master’s kindness to the little girl is unrequited in this life, and she only wants to be a cow and a horse in the next life and then repay it.
Wang Xiuhe said: What's the matter in this life? Our State of Zhao doesn't believe in this. If you want to repay the Chu family, it will be very easy. As long as you serve your young master and do your business for the Chu family loyally.
Liu Qingru was stunned and said: "Madam, aren't you going to drive the little girl away?"
Wang Xiuhe glanced at her: Have I said this? You have outstanding talent and ability. I have always been very satisfied. Although I have been in a brothel for more than five years, I can still maintain my virginity. It is really hard for you. I'll ask you something, you must answer truthfully.
Liu Qingru couldn't help but blush when she heard the word "virginity" and said quickly: Please tell me, Madam.
Wang Xiuhe pondered for a moment and said: We couple have great expectations for Zheng'er. Zheng'er is also a person who can accomplish great things. If Zheng'er wants to be enemies with Southern Qi in the future, will you help Zheng'er?
Liu Qingru was stunned. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiuhe asked this question, and she was confused for a moment
Chu Zheng was also a little uneasy and secretly complained that his mother had to say so straightforwardly. Liu Qingru's temperament was soft on the outside and hard on the inside. She could only use soft methods to slowly soften her. Such an urgent force could only force her to get into a stubborn strait.
Sure enough, Liu Qingru thought for a while and said resolutely: Madam, the name of Fan's loyalty and righteousness is everywhere. Although the little woman is not surnamed Fan, she has been taught by her grandfather since she was a child. She really dares not disobey what the old man said. However, the foolish monarch of Qi killed my Fan's family. Only a few sisters left their lives, but they were all sold to brothels. The little woman with loyalty can no longer do this. If the young master really wants to be an enemy of Southern Qi in the future, the little woman has to help each other.
Wang Xiuhe was not angry and nodded and said: As a member of the Fan family, it is not easy for you to say this, but if I, Da Zhao, wanted to attack Southern Qi, what would you do?
Liu Qingru said in a daze: The little girl doesn't know either
Wang Xiuhe looked at Chu Zheng and said: Since you said that, you can't stay with Zheng'er anymore. What Zheng'er wants to do in the future is that a Southern Qi people who may have a heart to contact with is definitely something that can be contacted by the people of Southern Qi who may be in love with. Yuan'er still lacks a maid who can manage affairs. He has mentioned you to me many times, pack up his things, and move to Yuan'er's yard tomorrow.
Liu Qingru's body was shaking. She had been in the Chu Mansion for several months. Of course, she knew what kind of person Chu Yuan was. Several maids in his yard had been favored for a long time. I'm afraid she was still doomed.
After a long time, Liu Qingru said in a hurry: The little woman obeys the order
Zijuan and Cuiling looked at each other, and walked up to kneel down and said: Madam, Sister Qingru and Xiaomaid have been dependent on each other for many years. Xiaomaid really cannot leave her. Please be kind to your wife and let Xiaomaid go with her.
Wang Xiuhe was stunned and said in a stern manner: You two are so brave, how can you talk here?
Liu Qingru didn't want Zijuan and Cuiling to be humiliated together. She was anxious and said: What are you doing? Why don't you get up quickly
Zijuan and Cuiling stopped talking, just kept kowtowing
Wang Xiuhe smiled anxiously and said to Chu Zheng: A few good girls you have taken
Chu Zheng remained silent
Wang Xiuhe thought about it and said: Okay, you two will not be at ease even if you stay, so let's go with it. Yuan'er is not as good as Zheng'er. You three girls who don't understand the rules are just right to let him discipline them well.
Zijuan secretly glanced at Chu Zheng, and saw that he was still bowing his head and silent, and suddenly felt ashamed. She choked and said to Liu Qingru: Sister Qingru, then Cuiling and I will go to tidy up our clothes first.
Liu Qingru shook her head and said: No, let's go together. After that, she saluted Wang Xiuhe and said: Madam, if nothing else is done, the little woman will take her back first.
Wang Xiuhe waved her hand: Go down
Liu Qingru and the other two were waiting to go out, and Chu Zheng suddenly said: Let's wait
Chu Zheng stood up and bowed to Wang Xiuhe, saying: Mom, I know that you have driven out the three of them must be for the children, but the three sisters have been following the children for many days, loyal and the children are used to their service. They all left all of a sudden, so what should they do.
Wang Xiuhe said: Wei Niang didn't want Zijuan and Cuiling to leave, but they were so stubborn, it would be fine if she didn't want such a girl.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: It’s not that I don’t know the relationship between them and Sister Qingru. If I stayed with my child without hesitation, the child would feel strange. As for Sister Qingru, although Sister Qingru is from Southern Qi, the biggest opponent of our Chu family is not in another country, but in the capital, even if we target other countries in the future, we must deal with Western Qin first. As for Southern Qi, we were defeated a few days ago and could not recover the original energy within ten years. It is not worth worrying. If Sister Qingru really targets Southern Qi in the future, let Sister Qingru avoid suspicion.
Wang Xiuhe hesitated: Zheng'er, although your words are reasonable, they are not from my Da Zhao family after all, so their hearts are inevitably different, so I am still worried.
Chu Zheng was anxious and was about to argue again, but Wang Xiuhe said again: Or this is the case, Qingru, your grandfather believes in Confucianism, and he pays the most attention to the teaching of following his father at home and following his husband when getting married. I will discuss with the master, and you can marry Zheng'er as a concubine. Give you a title, so I will feel more at ease.
As soon as Wang Xiuhe said this, all four people in the room were stunned
Wang Xiuhe ignored them and said to Liu Qingru: Qingru, you are a descendant of a famous family. This is a bit aggrieved. But since you have fallen into Zhao State as a slave, unless you are willing to commit yourself to a husband and a soldier, it is impossible to become a wife for someone else's wife. You are twenty years old this year, and it is not much older than Zheng'er. It is good that a woman's family can have this home. Zheng'er is kind-hearted and will definitely treat you well even if she establishes a wife in the future. As he said that, Wang Xiuhe looked at Zijuan and Cuiling again and said: Your two girls will not suffer any losses in the future. What do you think?
Liu Qingru thought about it and felt that Wang Xiuhe was very reasonable.
When she learned that she was chosen to be sent to Zhao State, she was in a life-and-death way, but she was worried about Zijuan and Cui Ling, and she barely survived. Unexpectedly, when Zhao State was attracted by Chu Zheng, she came to Chu State to be a maid.
The more than two months I have been by Chu Zheng’s side is the most reassuring life that Liu Qingru has lived after the disaster in her family. She no longer has to worry all day long like before.
Although Liu Qingru was unwilling to accept it, she knew that this was indeed her best destination.
Liu Qingru Yingying bowed: The lady loves me so much, so I should do it myself... I will obey my destiny.
Chu Zheng woke up at this time. Seeing the two women talking to themselves, he didn't take him seriously, and shouted in anger: Mom, how old I am, are you going to find a concubine for me?
Wang Xiuhe glared at him and said: Are you still young? You are already fourteen this year. The fourth level of the "Dragon and Elephant Subduing Demons" you practiced has been completed. Do you know what your situation is? You are not married to a real family. Who else's children are as old as you, but who doesn't have many concubines? You are as light as you are six years older. Can an ordinary girl withstand the torture of your thing?
After saying that, my face turned red, but I saw the three girls looking at Chu Zheng's crotch.
He said to Liu Qingru again: Don’t pay attention to him. With me and the master, he can still make a fortune.
Zijuan and Cuiling saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and they were both surprised and happy. They looked at Chu Zheng and Liu Qingru. They both smirked secretly.
Wang Xiuhe saw it and smiled: Qingru, you and these two girls go down first, Zhenger and I have to say something right. Although Qingru has not started, his identity is very different. Zijuan Cuiling, you two should call her lady in the future.
Zijuan, Cui Ling said happily: Yes, Madam, Liu Qingru bowed to Wang Xiuhe, looked at Chu Zheng, blushed, and led the two girls out.
Wang Xiuhe smiled and said: The girl who has not passed the door is just a thin-skinned
Chu Zheng gave her a blank look and said nothing.
Wang Xiuhe looked at him and said: Zheng'er, you are so calm that you are so angry that you have to drive them out of the door before you can stop them?
Chu Zheng was shocked and said: Mom, you were just here...
Wang Xiuhe sighed: Zheng'er, you have been addicted to martial arts over the years and turned a blind eye to things outside the window. It's not impossible to practice martial arts. At least you have more self-defense than your two brothers, so my mother didn't care about you before, but some things cannot be solved by martial arts. Now that you are growing up, it's time for you to share your father's worries.
Chu Zheng nodded and said: Mom is very saying, the child has already thought of this, but he doesn't know where to start.
Wang Xiuhe said: It’s good that you have this filial piety. There is something important in front of you. Your father decided to leave it to you and try to take care of it alone first, but Wei Niang was a little worried.
Chu Zheng was a little confused: What's so important? If my mother is worried, she will help the child.
Wang Xiuhe smiled bitterly and said: Will you leave it to you if you can intervene? You are still a child after all, and I don’t know what your father thought.
Chu Zheng was confused when he heard this, Wang Xiuhe had to explain: Your father has officially taken over the Chu family, and the Chu family's forces and personnel in Beijing are all under your control. The most important of them is the Yingtang, which has been passed down for a hundred years.
Yingtang can be said to be a secret spy organization with personnel all over the world. There are branches in the Western Qin, Southern Qi and Northern Zhao. There are many masters in the hall. Although there are not many who can match your master, the overall strength is the best in Zhao State. Even your grandfather Wang's wolf hall is inferior to him.
Chu Zheng was shocked, but it was normal to think about it carefully. Both King of Chu were originally from the Demon Sect, so it was natural to be familiar with these secret organizations. The two families have been in charge of the government for a long time. After more than a hundred years, this secret force is naturally extraordinary.
Just thinking about giving all such a large force to himself, Chu Zheng felt guilty and said: Did the father really deliver it to his child?
Wang Xiuhe said: It depends on how you do it. If not, your father still wants to take him back but there are too few people around you. Although your father will send you some people, he is not someone around you. Don't trust him too much.
Chu Zheng suddenly said: So, does mom fall in love with Sister Qingru?
Wang Xiuhe nodded and said: That's right, you chose her as a maid on that day, and ordered the Wang family to investigate her for her mother. Langtang went to Nanqi to investigate her, and found out that she was the granddaughter of Fan Xiaotong, a great scholar in the world. She had indeed been in the brothel for five years. This girl was born into a great family and had experienced ups and downs. If used properly, she would definitely be your right-hand man, but she was not my Da Zhao family after all. It would be better to avoid her when she was involved in the secret news about the Southern Qi Dynasty.
Chu Zheng sighed: Then you don’t have to marry her as your concubine
Wang Xiuhe kicked him in the crotch and whispered: "What will you do if you are fine?"
Chu Zheng blushed and he argued: Mom, aren’t you unsure that it was the problem that the child had done when practicing the Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Art?
Wang Xiuhe smiled and said: So my mother helps you find a concubine, so that you can accompany you every day to subdue the demons, and yin and yang are integrated?
Chu Zheng laughed, hugged Wang Xiuhe and kissed: Thank you mother! By the way, mother, can you let your master participate in the Eagle Hall?
Wang Xiuhe said: Since your father has handed over the Eagle Hall to you, you can decide this matter yourself.
Chu Zheng sent Wang Xiuhe out and returned to the house. Zijuan and Cuiling were packing up the tea set they had just used. When they saw Chu Zheng coming in, they looked strange and looked at him with a smile. Chu Zheng couldn't help but blush and said: What do you think I'm doing? You're not cleaning up the place, and you're thinking about sticks again?
Seeing that he was a little angry and embarrassed, Zijuan and Cuiling did not dare to make fun of him anymore, so they quickly cleaned up the house. When they went out, Cuiling couldn't help it and turned around and said: Master, do you want the lady to talk to you?
Chu Zheng was furious and picked up a teacup and wanted to throw it. The two little girls ran away like flying, leaving only a silver bell-like laughter.
Chu Zheng put down the teacup, lay on the chair, raised his legs and crossed his face on the table, thinking constantly in his mind
He really didn't expect his father to hand over such a large force to him. No wonder Chu Tianhang would hand over the Chu family to his father. The two of them had a good deal of courage, but the burden was too heavy.
Chu Zheng looked at a thick stack of booklets on the table. It was left by Wang Xiuhe before leaving. He said that it was some information about the Eagle Hall handed over to him by his father, and about the distribution of the Eagle Hall's power in various places.
Chu Zheng was stunned for a while, suddenly took a long breath, stretched out his right hand and grabbed it forward. The top book immediately rose into the air and flew into Chu Zheng's hand.
Chu Zheng showed a smile on his face. This was the traction technique he had learned from the fifth level of the Dragon and Elephant Demon Subduing Technique in the past few days. Although he was not very skilled, he had already achieved results.
Chu Zheng thought to himself that if he practiced the fifth level and integrated it with the first four levels, his martial arts could reach the state of combining hardness and softness. When he met a master like Chen Zhenzhong, he would have the ability to compete.
Liu Qingru walked out of her residence carefully. She was really afraid of meeting Chu Zheng suddenly, but she had been hiding in the house for a long time. It would become pretentious if she hid her. Besides, she would not have seen Chu Zheng for the rest of her life. Sooner or later, she would have to face what she should face.
But Liu Qingru was still a little confused, so why did she become the concubine of the half-grown child in a confused manner?
Thinking back on Wang Xiuhe's pressing step by step in the morning, she didn't give her room to refuse. Liu Qingru couldn't help but suspect that she was prepared and her ultimate goal was to force her to marry Chu Zheng. As for what she said before, she was transferred to the third young master Chu Yuan just to scare her.
But what Liu Qingru couldn't understand was that she was a weak woman from a foreign country, so what could she use? Why did Wang Xiuhe insist on marrying her to Chu Zheng deliberately?
You should know that Lord Chu is the Grand Marshal of the dynasty and the head of the Chu family, the leader of the three major families of Zhao. If Chu Zheng had not been younger, there would be many people in the court and the country who wanted to marry their daughter to Chu Zheng. Even if he was a concubine, he would have to be qualified for the daughter of an official above the prefect. But unexpectedly, he was a woman from a brothel who was the first to get started.
Liu Qingru couldn't help but shake her head. Wang Xiuhe must have her purpose, but she just couldn't guess it.
Miss A voice suddenly called in her ear
Liu Qingru was startled and realized that she was just thinking. Before she knew it, she walked out of Chu Zheng's study again. Seeing Zijuan and Cuiling standing outside the door, she hurriedly made a booing gesture and asked softly: Young Master is inside?
Zijuan was about to speak, Cuiling lowered her voice and laughed: Why do you still call him a young master? You should call him a husband.
Liu Qingru's face turned red and she wanted to beat him. Zijuan next to her hurriedly said: Not long after we left, the young master sent his wife and left. After returning, he stayed in the house for a long time. It's almost dark. It's time to have dinner. Miss, go in and take a look.
Liu Qingru felt a little strange and said: What is the young master doing inside?
Zijuan replied: The little maid is not very clear. She only saw a pile of books piled up in front of the young master. The young master has read several books.
Liu Qingru felt even more weird. When did this young master change his temper and start to study hard? So he said: You two are going to prepare dinner, I will go in and persuade him.
Cuiling sneered, and just as she was about to speak, Zijuan pulled her away
Liu Qingru walked to the door, feeling uneasy, took a long breath, then gently pushed the door open and walked in
Chu Zheng's head was buried in the pile of books, and he mumbled from time to time, and he was completely unaware of Liu Qingru entering the house.
Liu Qingru stood aside and looked at Chu Zheng quietly. Liu Qingru always felt a little confused about this half-old child who was about to become her husband.
Chu Zheng rarely has the arrogance of the children of officials. His diligence in practicing martial arts is amazing. The song "The River Goes East" that day, she still reads it all the time. In addition to using her own sticks to beat her three people, Chu Zheng is considered a gentleman. Liu Qingru also comes from a wealthy family and knows how common the promiscuous children of those aristocratic families are.
Seeing that the house gradually became dark, Liu Qingru walked to the side and lit a candle with a light hand and placed it beside Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng felt something, raised his head and saw that it was Liu Qingru, rubbed his face and said with a smile: It's you, Sister Qingru
Seeing that he was exhausted, Liu Qingru felt a little distressed and asked: What are you looking at? You are working so hard? I heard Zijuan say that you have been in the house for a long time.
Chu Zheng stretched and said: These are some things left by my mother when she left. He told me to see carefully. He stretched his head and looked outside the house and said: It's really dark, time passes so quickly
Zijuan and Cuiling brought the food into the house and placed the food on the table. Zijuan said to the two: Master, Miss, these foods have been prepared long ago, and they have just heated up. If it doesn't taste right, I will make it again.
Chu Zheng waved his hand and said: No, I have never cared about food too much, just sit down and eat together
Chu Zheng is usually easy-going and does not regard Liu Qingru and Zijuan. Cuiling is now regarded as the current people. When eating, four people usually eat together. At first, Liu Qingru and the other two are not used to it, but over time it becomes natural.
Zijuan and Cuiling responded. Yes, but they didn't sit down and secretly looked at Liu Qingru.
Liu Qingru was stunned, then understood, suddenly blushed, and said angrily: Young Master, you just sit down, see what I do?
Zijuan and Cuiling sat down with a smile. Cuiling smiled and said: Today, Madam, she almost scared the maid. Fortunately, she didn't send us to the Third Young Master's Courtyard, otherwise it would be miserable.
Zijuan also said: It's Ah, and the little maid is worried about death.
Chu Zheng was a little absent-minded and still recalled the information about Yingtang that he had just read.
Although Chu Zheng heard Wang Xiuhe say something briefly before, he was still shocked after carefully reading it.
The forces of the Eagle Hall are really spread all over the world, with branches in all counties of the Three Kingdoms. Relying on the tribes of the Chu family in various places, they know the daily life of local officials and the lives of the people.
Yingtang's surveillance of imperial officials was also extremely close. Chu Zheng only looked at part of it, mainly the records of bribery by Tang Shouwang, the Minister of Personnel. The number and time were recorded clearly. Chu Mingtang was busy instructing officials and censors of the Chu clan to impeach the Secretary of the Shangshu in the past few days. Then Wang Xiuhe came over to hand over these things to Chu Zheng.
Seeing that Chu Zheng's face seemed full of worries, Liu Qingru stopped Zijuan and Cuiling from joking, and lowered her head to eat.
She didn't know why Chu Zheng was worried, and recalled that after Wang Xiuhe betrothed her to Chu Zheng today, Chu Zheng seemed reluctant and immediately felt confused.
On weekdays, Liu Qingru takes care of Chu Zheng when he eats, and he often carries some dishes for him, but now they are in a daze and just mechanically picking up the rice in the bowl. The dishes on the table are basically not moving.
Zijuan and Cuiling felt the atmosphere was strange and suddenly felt a little restless
Not long after, Chu Zheng finished eating, put the bowl on the table, walked to the desk, sat down, picked up a booklet, and read it again.
Liu Qingru couldn't help feeling sad, thinking to himself that when he was a girl, this person was talking and laughing at him, so why did he look like this today? Could it be that he disliked him because he was a few years older than him?
Thinking of my life suffering, but in the end I have been entrusted with unmanly, Liu Qingru couldn't help but burst into tears.
Cui Ling was anxious when she saw it, she walked gently to Chu Zheng and said: Young Master, you think you are as despised as Sister
Chu Zheng woke up by the dream and said casually: What's wrong with her?
Cui Ling pointed at Liu Qingru, and Chu Zheng looked at it with the flow. Seeing Liu Qingru wiping her tears secretly, she was confused for a moment and asked Cui Ling in a low voice: Why did she cry?
Cuiling gritted her teeth and said: The young master is her husband now. You don’t know, how can the little maid know? After saying that, he turned around and left
Chu Zheng was worried. Since ancient times, women's hearts were needles under the sea. Although he lived for more than others, he might not be able to figure it out. He had to cough and say: Sister Qingru, come on.
Liu Qingru hurriedly wiped her tears and walked to the desk and asked: Young Master, is there anything wrong?
Chu Zheng smiled and said: Why do you still call me young master? Isn’t the matter between you and me already decided? I should change my name.
Liu Qingru was suffocated and said: Where is the decision? The master may not know about this.
Chu Zheng said lightly: Dad rarely objected to what Mother allows
As he said that, he found a book from the pile of books on the desk that had just marked it, opened it and looked at it, and said: Sister Qingru, do you say that your grandfather's family suffered a disaster that year, and only a few sisters survived?
Liu Qingru recalled and said: I heard that two cousins were sent to the frontier for hard labor, but I don’t know which two were, and we were still young back then, so how could we bear much suffering? Now, only a few sisters are left, I am still alive. Those two cousins are probably no longer alive.
Chu Zheng handed the booklet in his hand to Liu Qingru: But here records that there was a young man named Fan Ruocheng in the Western Xinjiang Coolie Camp in Southern Qi. According to his own name, he was the grandson of your grandfather Fan Xiaotong.
Chu Zheng thought to himself that this booklet might have been left specifically. Fan Ruocheng was probably found by his mother who sent someone to investigate Liu Qingrushi. Otherwise, there would be so many important matters in the Southern Qi Dynasty, and no one would care about the life and death of an unknown young man.
Liu Qingru was shocked when she heard this. She hurriedly took the book and looked carefully. She couldn't help but be surprised and happy: Yes, I have a cousin named Fan Ruocheng. This man is exactly the same as my cousin's birthday. Oh my God, I didn't expect that the Fan family still had a trace of blood in the world.
Liu Qingru read it several times, suddenly realized something and said to Chu Zheng: Young Master... Master, since the Chu family can find my cousin, I guess he will be able to rescue him, right?
Chu Zheng nodded and said: This should be the news my mother sent someone to find out. Your grandfather's bloody case has been gone for many years. The coolie camp is not very strict in taking care of your cousin, so you should be able to save it.
Liu Qingru Yingying bowed: Please help my cousin, he is the only descendant of my grandfather's family. Qingru has lived in his grandfather's house since childhood. The Fan family also loves Qingru very much. Qingru really can't bear to see the Fan family.
Chu Zheng hurriedly helped Liu Qingru up and kissed her: Sister Qingru, what are you doing? If I don’t know about this, it would be fine. Since I know, I will never stand by.
Liu Qingru blushed and looked at Chu Zheng
She entered the Chu family, and the two of them had never acted so intimately. She only felt that the person in front of her had a bit of love and pity. Liu Qingru was in a daze for a moment, completely forgot his age, and said softly: Young Master, Qingru, for Qingru's great kindness, can't repay Qingru's... I wish to serve the young master forever in the posture of Putu Liu, forever.
A group of people came towards him. Chu Zheng looked at him. He was from the Chu family in Shangjing, so he stood on the side of the road and asked them to go first.
During this relocation, there are many people who are resentful in Shangjing Chu family. Chu Zheng does not want to conflict with it anymore. Since he has benefited, he does not need to be arrogant anymore.
Unexpectedly, these people stopped beside Chu Zheng, and an old voice exclaimed: Isn’t this Zheng'er?
Chu Zheng calmed down and saw that it was Chu Tianfang, the grandfather whom he saw when he first arrived in the capital that day, so he bowed his head and said, "Grandson, see Grandpa Tang."
Chu Tianfang helped him up, looked at him for a while, and smiled: It's indeed extraordinary
Someone suddenly snorted coldly behind Chu Tianfang. Chu Zheng glanced at him and found that they were all acquaintances. The leader was Chu Shenping. The boys behind him also kissed his fists that day.
Chu Tianfang seemed to have not heard of it and said to Chu Zheng: I heard that your grandfather gave him his set of treasure armor to you as well?
Chu Zheng replied: That's right
Chu Tian sighed: Your grandfather was powerful in the northern border back then. You can inherit his mantle, but you must cherish it. After saying that, he patted Chu Zheng on the shoulder and said again: Yes, turn around and leave.
Chu Shenping and others hurriedly followed and stared at Chu Zheng with resentment before leaving.
Chu Zheng didn't take it in his heart at all, and bowed to Chu Tian's back. He truly respected the old man. It was so courageous that he could pass on such a large family to an outsider.
Chu Zheng was still arranged to live in the outing garden, so this big move is basically nothing he has done
He wanted to go out for a walk, but Wang Xiuhe gave him a strict order and was not allowed to leave the house recently, which made him confused and could not remember when he offended his mother again, so he had to practice martial arts all day in the garden.
After finishing practicing, Chu Zheng ordered Ouyang Zhimin to bring Huo Yunju over.
Yesterday he took the time to see the Huoyun Cat. Seeing that it was listless and had a few pounds of fat on its body, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed. He thought that this horse was originally galloping between the world outside the border, but now it was locked in the stables in the capital. It was really painful. If this continues, it will probably be ruined.
So Ouyang Zhimin ordered dozens of bamboo poles in the garden, and Chu Zheng turned over and performed a short-distance obstacle running.
Huo Yunju was not very interested at first, but was punched by Chu Zheng before getting energetic. After playing for a while, it began to think it was quite interesting and ran even more happily
Wang Xiuhe walked in from outside and saw the scene in the garden, and couldn't help but exclaim: Zheng'er, what are you doing?
Chu Zheng heard his mother call him, jumped off the horse, walked over with a smile and said: The child has seen his mother and the child is just looking at the fire cloud horse, so he takes it out for a walk.
Wang Xiuhe pointed behind him and said: Look at how your yard is like?
Chu Zheng looked back and saw that the yard was full of devastation. The originally green lawn was trampled to pieces. He couldn't help but blush and scratched his head and said: It was the child who was negligent.
Wang Xiuhe shook her head and said: When you were in Pingyuan City, you were a well-behaved child. Why did you get to the capital? You caused more trouble than your two brothers combined.
Liu Qingru heard the wife's voice and walked out of the house. Seeing that the courtyard was like this, she was at a loss.
Wang Xiuhe snorted and said: Forget it, let’s talk about it when you enter the house.
After entering the house, Wang Xiuhe asked her maids to wait outside. Seeing that Liu Qingru wanted to leave, she said: Qingru, you can stay.
After looking at Zijuan and Cuiling, Wang Xiuhe hesitated for a while and said: You two should stay, too
Seeing that his mother looked solemn, Chu Zheng knew there was something important to tell him, but he was a little surprised why he left Liu Qingru and the other two.
Wang Xiuhe looked at them and suddenly sighed: It's really a matter of time to use it.
Although Chu Mingtang has many counselors around him, there may be few who are very useful. When encountering a big event, the couple decided to decide after discussing it. Not to mention Zheng'er, he is still underage and has no close friends around him. Only he is a mother.
The four of them were inexplicably surprised by Wang Xiuhe's sudden sigh, and they all stared at her in a daze.
Wang Xiuhe said to Liu Qingru: Qingru, you are the granddaughter of Fan Xiaotong, a great scholar of the Southern Dynasty, right?
Liu Qingru's delicate body shook and her face turned pale
Wang Xiuhe said: Fan Xiaotong is a great scholar of his generation, and a great literary generation. I admire your grandfather for a long time but he admires the word "Loyalty to the Lord" most in his life. Even when the Emperor of Southern Qi wanted to kill him, he went to death with great pride, but so what? The emperor was still addicted to the wind, flowers, snow and moon, singing every night.
I think Fan Xiao’s actions are just to be foolish and loyal, and they will never be able to transform into stubbornness. In the end, they will only destroy their families. The males will be exiled to the frontier, and the granddaughter will fall into the dust.
When Chu Zheng heard the word Feng Chen, he couldn't help but complain. How did his mother know about this?
Liu Qingru clasped the back of the chair with his hands tightly, and his knuckles were faintly white. He raised his eyebrows and said: Grandpa's loyalty to the emperor and the country can be seen, and his wife, although the little woman is now in the Chu family, no one is allowed to insult his grandfather.
She thought to herself that since her wife knew that she was a high-ranking official in Southern Qi and a brothel woman, the Chu Mansion might not be able to stay, so she no longer called herself a slave.
Wang Xiuhe looked at her coldly and said: Your temper is so stubborn, it is somewhat similar to your grandfather. You are lucky. If you are a master like Zheng'er, you might have died for a long time.
Liu Qingru bowed and said: The lady and the young master’s kindness to the little girl is unrequited in this life, and she only wants to be a cow and a horse in the next life and then repay it.
Wang Xiuhe said: What's the matter in this life? Our State of Zhao doesn't believe in this. If you want to repay the Chu family, it will be very easy. As long as you serve your young master and do your business for the Chu family loyally.
Liu Qingru was stunned and said: "Madam, aren't you going to drive the little girl away?"
Wang Xiuhe glanced at her: Have I said this? You have outstanding talent and ability. I have always been very satisfied. Although I have been in a brothel for more than five years, I can still maintain my virginity. It is really hard for you. I'll ask you something, you must answer truthfully.
Liu Qingru couldn't help but blush when she heard the word "virginity" and said quickly: Please tell me, Madam.
Wang Xiuhe pondered for a moment and said: We couple have great expectations for Zheng'er. Zheng'er is also a person who can accomplish great things. If Zheng'er wants to be enemies with Southern Qi in the future, will you help Zheng'er?
Liu Qingru was stunned. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiuhe asked this question, and she was confused for a moment
Chu Zheng was also a little uneasy and secretly complained that his mother had to say so straightforwardly. Liu Qingru's temperament was soft on the outside and hard on the inside. She could only use soft methods to slowly soften her. Such an urgent force could only force her to get into a stubborn strait.
Sure enough, Liu Qingru thought for a while and said resolutely: Madam, the name of Fan's loyalty and righteousness is everywhere. Although the little woman is not surnamed Fan, she has been taught by her grandfather since she was a child. She really dares not disobey what the old man said. However, the foolish monarch of Qi killed my Fan's family. Only a few sisters left their lives, but they were all sold to brothels. The little woman with loyalty can no longer do this. If the young master really wants to be an enemy of Southern Qi in the future, the little woman has to help each other.
Wang Xiuhe was not angry and nodded and said: As a member of the Fan family, it is not easy for you to say this, but if I, Da Zhao, wanted to attack Southern Qi, what would you do?
Liu Qingru said in a daze: The little girl doesn't know either
Wang Xiuhe looked at Chu Zheng and said: Since you said that, you can't stay with Zheng'er anymore. What Zheng'er wants to do in the future is that a Southern Qi people who may have a heart to contact with is definitely something that can be contacted by the people of Southern Qi who may be in love with. Yuan'er still lacks a maid who can manage affairs. He has mentioned you to me many times, pack up his things, and move to Yuan'er's yard tomorrow.
Liu Qingru's body was shaking. She had been in the Chu Mansion for several months. Of course, she knew what kind of person Chu Yuan was. Several maids in his yard had been favored for a long time. I'm afraid she was still doomed.
After a long time, Liu Qingru said in a hurry: The little woman obeys the order
Zijuan and Cuiling looked at each other, and walked up to kneel down and said: Madam, Sister Qingru and Xiaomaid have been dependent on each other for many years. Xiaomaid really cannot leave her. Please be kind to your wife and let Xiaomaid go with her.
Wang Xiuhe was stunned and said in a stern manner: You two are so brave, how can you talk here?
Liu Qingru didn't want Zijuan and Cuiling to be humiliated together. She was anxious and said: What are you doing? Why don't you get up quickly
Zijuan and Cuiling stopped talking, just kept kowtowing
Wang Xiuhe smiled anxiously and said to Chu Zheng: A few good girls you have taken
Chu Zheng remained silent
Wang Xiuhe thought about it and said: Okay, you two will not be at ease even if you stay, so let's go with it. Yuan'er is not as good as Zheng'er. You three girls who don't understand the rules are just right to let him discipline them well.
Zijuan secretly glanced at Chu Zheng, and saw that he was still bowing his head and silent, and suddenly felt ashamed. She choked and said to Liu Qingru: Sister Qingru, then Cuiling and I will go to tidy up our clothes first.
Liu Qingru shook her head and said: No, let's go together. After that, she saluted Wang Xiuhe and said: Madam, if nothing else is done, the little woman will take her back first.
Wang Xiuhe waved her hand: Go down
Liu Qingru and the other two were waiting to go out, and Chu Zheng suddenly said: Let's wait
Chu Zheng stood up and bowed to Wang Xiuhe, saying: Mom, I know that you have driven out the three of them must be for the children, but the three sisters have been following the children for many days, loyal and the children are used to their service. They all left all of a sudden, so what should they do.
Wang Xiuhe said: Wei Niang didn't want Zijuan and Cuiling to leave, but they were so stubborn, it would be fine if she didn't want such a girl.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: It’s not that I don’t know the relationship between them and Sister Qingru. If I stayed with my child without hesitation, the child would feel strange. As for Sister Qingru, although Sister Qingru is from Southern Qi, the biggest opponent of our Chu family is not in another country, but in the capital, even if we target other countries in the future, we must deal with Western Qin first. As for Southern Qi, we were defeated a few days ago and could not recover the original energy within ten years. It is not worth worrying. If Sister Qingru really targets Southern Qi in the future, let Sister Qingru avoid suspicion.
Wang Xiuhe hesitated: Zheng'er, although your words are reasonable, they are not from my Da Zhao family after all, so their hearts are inevitably different, so I am still worried.
Chu Zheng was anxious and was about to argue again, but Wang Xiuhe said again: Or this is the case, Qingru, your grandfather believes in Confucianism, and he pays the most attention to the teaching of following his father at home and following his husband when getting married. I will discuss with the master, and you can marry Zheng'er as a concubine. Give you a title, so I will feel more at ease.
As soon as Wang Xiuhe said this, all four people in the room were stunned
Wang Xiuhe ignored them and said to Liu Qingru: Qingru, you are a descendant of a famous family. This is a bit aggrieved. But since you have fallen into Zhao State as a slave, unless you are willing to commit yourself to a husband and a soldier, it is impossible to become a wife for someone else's wife. You are twenty years old this year, and it is not much older than Zheng'er. It is good that a woman's family can have this home. Zheng'er is kind-hearted and will definitely treat you well even if she establishes a wife in the future. As he said that, Wang Xiuhe looked at Zijuan and Cuiling again and said: Your two girls will not suffer any losses in the future. What do you think?
Liu Qingru thought about it and felt that Wang Xiuhe was very reasonable.
When she learned that she was chosen to be sent to Zhao State, she was in a life-and-death way, but she was worried about Zijuan and Cui Ling, and she barely survived. Unexpectedly, when Zhao State was attracted by Chu Zheng, she came to Chu State to be a maid.
The more than two months I have been by Chu Zheng’s side is the most reassuring life that Liu Qingru has lived after the disaster in her family. She no longer has to worry all day long like before.
Although Liu Qingru was unwilling to accept it, she knew that this was indeed her best destination.
Liu Qingru Yingying bowed: The lady loves me so much, so I should do it myself... I will obey my destiny.
Chu Zheng woke up at this time. Seeing the two women talking to themselves, he didn't take him seriously, and shouted in anger: Mom, how old I am, are you going to find a concubine for me?
Wang Xiuhe glared at him and said: Are you still young? You are already fourteen this year. The fourth level of the "Dragon and Elephant Subduing Demons" you practiced has been completed. Do you know what your situation is? You are not married to a real family. Who else's children are as old as you, but who doesn't have many concubines? You are as light as you are six years older. Can an ordinary girl withstand the torture of your thing?
After saying that, my face turned red, but I saw the three girls looking at Chu Zheng's crotch.
He said to Liu Qingru again: Don’t pay attention to him. With me and the master, he can still make a fortune.
Zijuan and Cuiling saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and they were both surprised and happy. They looked at Chu Zheng and Liu Qingru. They both smirked secretly.
Wang Xiuhe saw it and smiled: Qingru, you and these two girls go down first, Zhenger and I have to say something right. Although Qingru has not started, his identity is very different. Zijuan Cuiling, you two should call her lady in the future.
Zijuan, Cui Ling said happily: Yes, Madam, Liu Qingru bowed to Wang Xiuhe, looked at Chu Zheng, blushed, and led the two girls out.
Wang Xiuhe smiled and said: The girl who has not passed the door is just a thin-skinned
Chu Zheng gave her a blank look and said nothing.
Wang Xiuhe looked at him and said: Zheng'er, you are so calm that you are so angry that you have to drive them out of the door before you can stop them?
Chu Zheng was shocked and said: Mom, you were just here...
Wang Xiuhe sighed: Zheng'er, you have been addicted to martial arts over the years and turned a blind eye to things outside the window. It's not impossible to practice martial arts. At least you have more self-defense than your two brothers, so my mother didn't care about you before, but some things cannot be solved by martial arts. Now that you are growing up, it's time for you to share your father's worries.
Chu Zheng nodded and said: Mom is very saying, the child has already thought of this, but he doesn't know where to start.
Wang Xiuhe said: It’s good that you have this filial piety. There is something important in front of you. Your father decided to leave it to you and try to take care of it alone first, but Wei Niang was a little worried.
Chu Zheng was a little confused: What's so important? If my mother is worried, she will help the child.
Wang Xiuhe smiled bitterly and said: Will you leave it to you if you can intervene? You are still a child after all, and I don’t know what your father thought.
Chu Zheng was confused when he heard this, Wang Xiuhe had to explain: Your father has officially taken over the Chu family, and the Chu family's forces and personnel in Beijing are all under your control. The most important of them is the Yingtang, which has been passed down for a hundred years.
Yingtang can be said to be a secret spy organization with personnel all over the world. There are branches in the Western Qin, Southern Qi and Northern Zhao. There are many masters in the hall. Although there are not many who can match your master, the overall strength is the best in Zhao State. Even your grandfather Wang's wolf hall is inferior to him.
Chu Zheng was shocked, but it was normal to think about it carefully. Both King of Chu were originally from the Demon Sect, so it was natural to be familiar with these secret organizations. The two families have been in charge of the government for a long time. After more than a hundred years, this secret force is naturally extraordinary.
Just thinking about giving all such a large force to himself, Chu Zheng felt guilty and said: Did the father really deliver it to his child?
Wang Xiuhe said: It depends on how you do it. If not, your father still wants to take him back but there are too few people around you. Although your father will send you some people, he is not someone around you. Don't trust him too much.
Chu Zheng suddenly said: So, does mom fall in love with Sister Qingru?
Wang Xiuhe nodded and said: That's right, you chose her as a maid on that day, and ordered the Wang family to investigate her for her mother. Langtang went to Nanqi to investigate her, and found out that she was the granddaughter of Fan Xiaotong, a great scholar in the world. She had indeed been in the brothel for five years. This girl was born into a great family and had experienced ups and downs. If used properly, she would definitely be your right-hand man, but she was not my Da Zhao family after all. It would be better to avoid her when she was involved in the secret news about the Southern Qi Dynasty.
Chu Zheng sighed: Then you don’t have to marry her as your concubine
Wang Xiuhe kicked him in the crotch and whispered: "What will you do if you are fine?"
Chu Zheng blushed and he argued: Mom, aren’t you unsure that it was the problem that the child had done when practicing the Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Art?
Wang Xiuhe smiled and said: So my mother helps you find a concubine, so that you can accompany you every day to subdue the demons, and yin and yang are integrated?
Chu Zheng laughed, hugged Wang Xiuhe and kissed: Thank you mother! By the way, mother, can you let your master participate in the Eagle Hall?
Wang Xiuhe said: Since your father has handed over the Eagle Hall to you, you can decide this matter yourself.
Chu Zheng sent Wang Xiuhe out and returned to the house. Zijuan and Cuiling were packing up the tea set they had just used. When they saw Chu Zheng coming in, they looked strange and looked at him with a smile. Chu Zheng couldn't help but blush and said: What do you think I'm doing? You're not cleaning up the place, and you're thinking about sticks again?
Seeing that he was a little angry and embarrassed, Zijuan and Cuiling did not dare to make fun of him anymore, so they quickly cleaned up the house. When they went out, Cuiling couldn't help it and turned around and said: Master, do you want the lady to talk to you?
Chu Zheng was furious and picked up a teacup and wanted to throw it. The two little girls ran away like flying, leaving only a silver bell-like laughter.
Chu Zheng put down the teacup, lay on the chair, raised his legs and crossed his face on the table, thinking constantly in his mind
He really didn't expect his father to hand over such a large force to him. No wonder Chu Tianhang would hand over the Chu family to his father. The two of them had a good deal of courage, but the burden was too heavy.
Chu Zheng looked at a thick stack of booklets on the table. It was left by Wang Xiuhe before leaving. He said that it was some information about the Eagle Hall handed over to him by his father, and about the distribution of the Eagle Hall's power in various places.
Chu Zheng was stunned for a while, suddenly took a long breath, stretched out his right hand and grabbed it forward. The top book immediately rose into the air and flew into Chu Zheng's hand.
Chu Zheng showed a smile on his face. This was the traction technique he had learned from the fifth level of the Dragon and Elephant Demon Subduing Technique in the past few days. Although he was not very skilled, he had already achieved results.
Chu Zheng thought to himself that if he practiced the fifth level and integrated it with the first four levels, his martial arts could reach the state of combining hardness and softness. When he met a master like Chen Zhenzhong, he would have the ability to compete.
Liu Qingru walked out of her residence carefully. She was really afraid of meeting Chu Zheng suddenly, but she had been hiding in the house for a long time. It would become pretentious if she hid her. Besides, she would not have seen Chu Zheng for the rest of her life. Sooner or later, she would have to face what she should face.
But Liu Qingru was still a little confused, so why did she become the concubine of the half-grown child in a confused manner?
Thinking back on Wang Xiuhe's pressing step by step in the morning, she didn't give her room to refuse. Liu Qingru couldn't help but suspect that she was prepared and her ultimate goal was to force her to marry Chu Zheng. As for what she said before, she was transferred to the third young master Chu Yuan just to scare her.
But what Liu Qingru couldn't understand was that she was a weak woman from a foreign country, so what could she use? Why did Wang Xiuhe insist on marrying her to Chu Zheng deliberately?
You should know that Lord Chu is the Grand Marshal of the dynasty and the head of the Chu family, the leader of the three major families of Zhao. If Chu Zheng had not been younger, there would be many people in the court and the country who wanted to marry their daughter to Chu Zheng. Even if he was a concubine, he would have to be qualified for the daughter of an official above the prefect. But unexpectedly, he was a woman from a brothel who was the first to get started.
Liu Qingru couldn't help but shake her head. Wang Xiuhe must have her purpose, but she just couldn't guess it.
Miss A voice suddenly called in her ear
Liu Qingru was startled and realized that she was just thinking. Before she knew it, she walked out of Chu Zheng's study again. Seeing Zijuan and Cuiling standing outside the door, she hurriedly made a booing gesture and asked softly: Young Master is inside?
Zijuan was about to speak, Cuiling lowered her voice and laughed: Why do you still call him a young master? You should call him a husband.
Liu Qingru's face turned red and she wanted to beat him. Zijuan next to her hurriedly said: Not long after we left, the young master sent his wife and left. After returning, he stayed in the house for a long time. It's almost dark. It's time to have dinner. Miss, go in and take a look.
Liu Qingru felt a little strange and said: What is the young master doing inside?
Zijuan replied: The little maid is not very clear. She only saw a pile of books piled up in front of the young master. The young master has read several books.
Liu Qingru felt even more weird. When did this young master change his temper and start to study hard? So he said: You two are going to prepare dinner, I will go in and persuade him.
Cuiling sneered, and just as she was about to speak, Zijuan pulled her away
Liu Qingru walked to the door, feeling uneasy, took a long breath, then gently pushed the door open and walked in
Chu Zheng's head was buried in the pile of books, and he mumbled from time to time, and he was completely unaware of Liu Qingru entering the house.
Liu Qingru stood aside and looked at Chu Zheng quietly. Liu Qingru always felt a little confused about this half-old child who was about to become her husband.
Chu Zheng rarely has the arrogance of the children of officials. His diligence in practicing martial arts is amazing. The song "The River Goes East" that day, she still reads it all the time. In addition to using her own sticks to beat her three people, Chu Zheng is considered a gentleman. Liu Qingru also comes from a wealthy family and knows how common the promiscuous children of those aristocratic families are.
Seeing that the house gradually became dark, Liu Qingru walked to the side and lit a candle with a light hand and placed it beside Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng felt something, raised his head and saw that it was Liu Qingru, rubbed his face and said with a smile: It's you, Sister Qingru
Seeing that he was exhausted, Liu Qingru felt a little distressed and asked: What are you looking at? You are working so hard? I heard Zijuan say that you have been in the house for a long time.
Chu Zheng stretched and said: These are some things left by my mother when she left. He told me to see carefully. He stretched his head and looked outside the house and said: It's really dark, time passes so quickly
Zijuan and Cuiling brought the food into the house and placed the food on the table. Zijuan said to the two: Master, Miss, these foods have been prepared long ago, and they have just heated up. If it doesn't taste right, I will make it again.
Chu Zheng waved his hand and said: No, I have never cared about food too much, just sit down and eat together
Chu Zheng is usually easy-going and does not regard Liu Qingru and Zijuan. Cuiling is now regarded as the current people. When eating, four people usually eat together. At first, Liu Qingru and the other two are not used to it, but over time it becomes natural.
Zijuan and Cuiling responded. Yes, but they didn't sit down and secretly looked at Liu Qingru.
Liu Qingru was stunned, then understood, suddenly blushed, and said angrily: Young Master, you just sit down, see what I do?
Zijuan and Cuiling sat down with a smile. Cuiling smiled and said: Today, Madam, she almost scared the maid. Fortunately, she didn't send us to the Third Young Master's Courtyard, otherwise it would be miserable.
Zijuan also said: It's Ah, and the little maid is worried about death.
Chu Zheng was a little absent-minded and still recalled the information about Yingtang that he had just read.
Although Chu Zheng heard Wang Xiuhe say something briefly before, he was still shocked after carefully reading it.
The forces of the Eagle Hall are really spread all over the world, with branches in all counties of the Three Kingdoms. Relying on the tribes of the Chu family in various places, they know the daily life of local officials and the lives of the people.
Yingtang's surveillance of imperial officials was also extremely close. Chu Zheng only looked at part of it, mainly the records of bribery by Tang Shouwang, the Minister of Personnel. The number and time were recorded clearly. Chu Mingtang was busy instructing officials and censors of the Chu clan to impeach the Secretary of the Shangshu in the past few days. Then Wang Xiuhe came over to hand over these things to Chu Zheng.
Seeing that Chu Zheng's face seemed full of worries, Liu Qingru stopped Zijuan and Cuiling from joking, and lowered her head to eat.
She didn't know why Chu Zheng was worried, and recalled that after Wang Xiuhe betrothed her to Chu Zheng today, Chu Zheng seemed reluctant and immediately felt confused.
On weekdays, Liu Qingru takes care of Chu Zheng when he eats, and he often carries some dishes for him, but now they are in a daze and just mechanically picking up the rice in the bowl. The dishes on the table are basically not moving.
Zijuan and Cuiling felt the atmosphere was strange and suddenly felt a little restless
Not long after, Chu Zheng finished eating, put the bowl on the table, walked to the desk, sat down, picked up a booklet, and read it again.
Liu Qingru couldn't help feeling sad, thinking to himself that when he was a girl, this person was talking and laughing at him, so why did he look like this today? Could it be that he disliked him because he was a few years older than him?
Thinking of my life suffering, but in the end I have been entrusted with unmanly, Liu Qingru couldn't help but burst into tears.
Cui Ling was anxious when she saw it, she walked gently to Chu Zheng and said: Young Master, you think you are as despised as Sister
Chu Zheng woke up by the dream and said casually: What's wrong with her?
Cui Ling pointed at Liu Qingru, and Chu Zheng looked at it with the flow. Seeing Liu Qingru wiping her tears secretly, she was confused for a moment and asked Cui Ling in a low voice: Why did she cry?
Cuiling gritted her teeth and said: The young master is her husband now. You don’t know, how can the little maid know? After saying that, he turned around and left
Chu Zheng was worried. Since ancient times, women's hearts were needles under the sea. Although he lived for more than others, he might not be able to figure it out. He had to cough and say: Sister Qingru, come on.
Liu Qingru hurriedly wiped her tears and walked to the desk and asked: Young Master, is there anything wrong?
Chu Zheng smiled and said: Why do you still call me young master? Isn’t the matter between you and me already decided? I should change my name.
Liu Qingru was suffocated and said: Where is the decision? The master may not know about this.
Chu Zheng said lightly: Dad rarely objected to what Mother allows
As he said that, he found a book from the pile of books on the desk that had just marked it, opened it and looked at it, and said: Sister Qingru, do you say that your grandfather's family suffered a disaster that year, and only a few sisters survived?
Liu Qingru recalled and said: I heard that two cousins were sent to the frontier for hard labor, but I don’t know which two were, and we were still young back then, so how could we bear much suffering? Now, only a few sisters are left, I am still alive. Those two cousins are probably no longer alive.
Chu Zheng handed the booklet in his hand to Liu Qingru: But here records that there was a young man named Fan Ruocheng in the Western Xinjiang Coolie Camp in Southern Qi. According to his own name, he was the grandson of your grandfather Fan Xiaotong.
Chu Zheng thought to himself that this booklet might have been left specifically. Fan Ruocheng was probably found by his mother who sent someone to investigate Liu Qingrushi. Otherwise, there would be so many important matters in the Southern Qi Dynasty, and no one would care about the life and death of an unknown young man.
Liu Qingru was shocked when she heard this. She hurriedly took the book and looked carefully. She couldn't help but be surprised and happy: Yes, I have a cousin named Fan Ruocheng. This man is exactly the same as my cousin's birthday. Oh my God, I didn't expect that the Fan family still had a trace of blood in the world.
Liu Qingru read it several times, suddenly realized something and said to Chu Zheng: Young Master... Master, since the Chu family can find my cousin, I guess he will be able to rescue him, right?
Chu Zheng nodded and said: This should be the news my mother sent someone to find out. Your grandfather's bloody case has been gone for many years. The coolie camp is not very strict in taking care of your cousin, so you should be able to save it.
Liu Qingru Yingying bowed: Please help my cousin, he is the only descendant of my grandfather's family. Qingru has lived in his grandfather's house since childhood. The Fan family also loves Qingru very much. Qingru really can't bear to see the Fan family.
Chu Zheng hurriedly helped Liu Qingru up and kissed her: Sister Qingru, what are you doing? If I don’t know about this, it would be fine. Since I know, I will never stand by.
Liu Qingru blushed and looked at Chu Zheng
She entered the Chu family, and the two of them had never acted so intimately. She only felt that the person in front of her had a bit of love and pity. Liu Qingru was in a daze for a moment, completely forgot his age, and said softly: Young Master, Qingru, for Qingru's great kindness, can't repay Qingru's... I wish to serve the young master forever in the posture of Putu Liu, forever.
