"Sister, take a look." Zhou Chi handed over the letter in his hand.
Zhou Ran read the letter in a few seconds, and asked Zhou Chi with a surprised look on his face: "Long Live Lord, are you planning to let you go to the capital to be the Minister of War?"
"Long Live Lord does have this intention," Zhou Chi nodded, reaching out to pour a cup of tea for Zhou Ran, while continuing, "The imperial court wants to set up a general mansion in Qinghai, and Ma Ruilin is the most suitable candidate for Qinghai general. The Minister of War The seat will naturally be vacant, and Long Live Master will remember me. "
"Then what do you mean?" Zhou Ran held the tea cup and looked at Zhou Chi anxiously, "Didn't Long Live Lord let you make the decision yourself in the letter?"
Zhou Chi is not yet thirty-five years old, and he can be said to be a young man. If he can go to Beijing and serve as Minister of War, his future will naturally be unlimited. However, Zhou Ran is not willing to let Zhou Chi go north. Now Liu Changsheng's parents are both In Guangxi, Liu Changsheng's official position is also in Guangxi. Naturally, she cannot leave Liu Changsheng and follow Zhou Chi to Beijing. However, since she was a child, she has long been accustomed to living with Zhou Chi. Even if she is married now, Zhou Chi will not It was a child who needed her care again, but she still couldn't bear to let her brother go alone.
It's just that she really couldn't say it out loud.
Zhou Chi didn't seem to notice Zhou Ran's anxiety. He didn't speak. He just stared blankly at the curled green bamboo leaves in the cup and remained silent.
Will that person return to southern Xinjiang
Will that person stay in the capital
Should he go to the capital
Should he go to the capital to find him
Does that person want to see him
Will he be like him... missing him so much
Zhou Chi's mind was filled with that man's smiling face as bright as a summer flower. His smile was so bright that it hurt his eyes.
Zhou Chi took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly.
"Zhou Chi," Zhou Ran couldn't help but reached out and gently shook Zhou Chi's arm while asking in a low voice, "Tell eldest sister, do you want to go to the capital?"
Zhou Chi looked at Zhou Ran, and when he met those anxious and expectant eyes, he shook his head in confusion: "I don't know."
This night, Zhou Ran was destined to have insomnia.
In the darkness, she tossed and turned on the bed. Liu Changsheng was so disturbed by her that he was not sleepy. He got up, put on his clothes, lit a candle and placed it on the bedside table. He poured a cup of hot tea for Zhou Ran and brought it to him. Asked: "Ranran, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm upset," Zhou Ran drank the tea in one breath and sighed, "I'm really upset."
"Isn't Zhou Chi still not thinking about it? It's not certain whether he will go to the capital or not," Liu Changsheng put the tea cup on the table, took off his shoes and got into bed, and said softly and kindly, "You are so reluctant to let him go. , he naturally can’t bear to leave you.”
"I can't bear to let him go, but I can't be a stumbling block for him," Zhou Ran leaned in Liu Changsheng's arms and sighed softly, "I don't want him to go to the capital, but if I keep stopping him, That is really outrageous. He has been a promising person since he was a child. I have never been able to stand reading, but at the age of five or six, he can memorize the Four Books and Five Classics in a decent manner. Even Long Live God said that he is a scholar. What a great talent. Later, he became the second-rank governor of Guangxi just after turning 30. He was the youngest governor since the founding of Dali. I didn’t say it, but I felt so proud in my heart. Ordinarily, he was going to be promoted again. I I should be happy for him, but I just can’t be happy.”
