Zhou Ran raised his head high while holding Zhou Chi in his arms, holding back tears for a long time before gently sliding down the corners of his eyes.
"Zhou Chi, you deserve the best," Zhou Ran said softly while rubbing the back of Zhou Chi's head, "Because you are the best, so you must treat yourself well and feel good about yourself. "
"Yes, eldest sister, I remember."
Dining room.
While eating, Liu Changsheng naturally saw the reddish eyes of Zhou Chi and Zhou Ran, but he didn't say anything and just pretended that he didn't see anything. He served the porridge to them with his own hands. He went over and said to Zhou Chi: "Zhou Chi, it's almost the end of the year, and the peace talks between Dali and Siam are just around the corner. I wonder who Long Live Lord will appoint to southern Xinjiang this time?"
"I haven't said anything yet," Zhou Chi took a mouthful of shrimp and mushroom porridge, paused, and said, "But it should be soon. The peace talks should not be postponed until next year. It should be within these few days." ”
"Normally, Prince Hui should be given full authority to take charge of this matter. Firstly, it can scare the Siamese people, and secondly, Prince Hui's identity and military achievements are also suitable for the task," Liu Changsheng said, while sighing softly. , "I just don't know if Prince Hui is still willing to come to southern Xinjiang. Now that Long Live Lord has ascended the throne, Prince Hui is the most noble prince. How can there be any reason to come to our southern border after traveling thousands of miles?"
Zhou Chi paused, but before he could speak, Zhou Ran answered first: "Have a good meal, why are you talking about these things? Can't you wait until after dinner to talk in the study?"
Zhou Ran was angry while giving each of them a chopstick of shredded chicken.
At that moment, Liu Changsheng and Zhou Chi really stopped talking about this.
"Zhou Ran, when Qian'er returned home, my father and mother asked you to come over this year and we could celebrate the New Year together. I can't count how many times they said this. I'm afraid they have prepared more than ten red envelopes for you. "At that moment, Liu Changsheng changed the topic and said to Zhou Chi with a smile, "How about you give me a happy message? Don't try to fool me again this time."
Zhou Ran glared at Liu Changsheng fiercely. She was really depressed. She told Zhou Chi that she would not interfere with his affairs and let him choose whether to stay in Guangxi or the capital. However, Liu Changsheng said this abruptly. In this case, it seemed as if the couple wanted to force Zhou Chi again.
Liu Changsheng obviously didn't realize Zhou Ran's depression, so he immediately said to Zhou Chi: "My parents' red envelopes are not for nothing. When the time comes, you will also give us Teng'er a big red envelope."
"Liu Changsheng!" Zhou Ran was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Zhou Chi put down the bowl and chopsticks and was about to speak when he saw the guard running into the dining room with a serious look on his face. Zhou Chi was so busy that he sat up straight and asked, "What's the matter?"
The guard glanced at Zhou Ran and Liu Changsheng, a little embarrassed, and finally whispered something in Zhou Chi's ear.
Zhou Chi's face froze immediately. He stared blankly at the half-bowl of shrimp and mushroom porridge in front of him, his slender fingers trembling.
The guard looked at his appearance and became a little anxious. He called out in a low voice: "Sir, are you going?"
Zhou Ran frowned and looked at the guard: "Where are you going?"
In official matters, Zhou Chi never hid anything from her and Liu Changsheng. As for private matters, Zhou Chi never hid anything except that one, so Zhou Ran was very dissatisfied with the guard's mysterious behavior.
