Liu Changsheng patted her back gently and said softly: "You have always loved him, so naturally you don't want him to be too far away from you. Besides, the capital is not as good as Guangxi, and there are undercurrents in the officialdom. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to stay for a long time. Not only You, I'm anxious too."
"No, I'm not worried about officialdom. Zhou Chi entered the officialdom at the age of fifteen and has been struggling for nearly twenty years. I'm confident that he has nothing to fear. Even Long Live Lord said that Zhou Chi He has the talent to be an official, but..." At this point, Zhou Ran sighed again, and then frowned and said, "It's just that he has too many worries and always likes to bury everything in his heart. No matter what happens, I am responsible for it all by myself. Even if I look at him every day, I still have to worry about it. If he really goes to the capital, I will be worried to death. "
Liu Changsheng nodded and said, "Zhou Chi is a very worried person."
"Yes, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have been holding it in for so many years," Zhou Ran said, his voice choked with sobs, "I don't know how depressed and painful he has been by himself all these years. I This eldest sister actually knew nothing. Not only did she not share anything with him, but she also urged him to get married all day long. I am afraid that because of this, he was even more frightened and even less willing to tell me. Every time I think about this, I feel like It’s so uncomfortable.”
Liu Changsheng naturally knew what Zhou Ran was talking about, and he was so busy coaxing him: "Fortunately, we have talked about it now, so don't be too sad."
Zhou Ran shook his head gently, hugged Liu Changsheng's waist, and sobbed softly: "Liu Lang, I really don't want him to go. When I think of him being alone in the capital, I can't help but want to cry. He hasn't left yet, so I can't bear it. What if he really leaves? "
"Wait a minute, it depends on Zhou Chi's intention. He has his own ideas. If he feels that the capital has something he wants more and is more worthy of his pursuit, then let's not stop Ranran. Can you keep him company?" Liu Changsheng comforted Zhou Ran while wiping his tears.
Zhou Ran cried so hard that he couldn't speak, but he nodded vigorously.
The second day of December in the first year of Tianding
Guangxi Governor's Yamen.
Zhou Ran and Liu Changsheng didn't sleep well all night, and only squinted for a while in the morning. However, Zhou Chi didn't sleep all night. When he opened the door and came out in the morning, his eyes were all black and blue. Zhou Ran was preparing for breakfast. She glanced at Zhou Chi from time to time. Although she had agreed with Liu Changsheng last night that she would not interfere with Zhou Chi, at this time, she was still muttering in her heart.
"Zhou Chi, come in and choose some food for me." Zhou Ran called Zhou Chi into the kitchen.
"Oh." Zhou Chi was so busy that he entered the kitchen, sat down on the pony, and picked vegetables seriously.
Zhou Ran looked down at him and couldn't help but smile: "It's still the same as when I was a child, choosing dishes like a little girl."
"Eldest sister, you are teasing me again!" Zhou Chi raised his head and smiled at Zhou Ran, then lowered his head and continued picking vegetables, sighing, "It seems like it has been a long time since I picked vegetables for eldest sister."
"You are so busy on weekdays that you wish you had more legs and arms. How can you have time to sit in this kitchen with a woman like me?" Zhou Ran pursed his lips and smiled, adding water to the casserole and then covering it. He took off the lid and sat down to pick vegetables with Zhou Chi, "But you don't need to do this. I am always at home, and from now on... there will naturally be someone to take care of you."
Zhou Chi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Ran. For a moment, neither of them spoke again until Liu Changsheng came in yawning.
