Zhou Chi: "...cough cough."
"If you are willing, then of course I have no objection. I wish I could meet your parents as soon as possible!" Lu Zhicheng said with a smile on his face, shaking Zhou Chi's hand, "Brother, what does our sister like?" Jewelry? What kind of weapons does our brother-in-law like? Or what kind of snacks does our nephew like? Tell me, I’ll send someone to prepare it. I heard that first impressions are very important when meeting parents. Do you think I have to make a new outfit quickly? I remember that the popular style in the capital this year is hemming with gold and silver threads. I don’t know if the tailors here in Guangxi can do it. No, I have to ask Shi Quan for 600 li. Urgently return to the capital to buy me some clothes..."
Zhou Chi's head almost exploded: "... Speak to me properly."
Lu Zhicheng smiled brightly: "Yes, you have to listen to me. Brother, why don't we make two sets of clothes? One for each of us. You make red silk wrapped with gold, and I make green silk wrapped with silver. It is in line with the saying "Qing Hong I" Green, brother, do you think so?”
Zhou Chi: "...If you don't shut up, I will whip you."
Guangxi Governor's Yamen.
"What did you say?" Zhou Ran frowned and glared at Zhou Chi's personal bodyguard, "Is Zhou Chi going on inspection?"
The guard bowed and said, "Yes, my lord has just left the city incognito. I'm afraid it will take seven or eight days before he can come back."
"Why did he want to go out of the city at this time?" Zhou Ran looked puzzled, took a sip of tea, and looked at the guard coldly, "What did you say to Zhou Chi when we had breakfast just now? He Why are you rushing out without even eating? "
"This..." The guard was embarrassed for a while. Zhou Chi had just made it clear that he must hide it from Zhou Ran. At that moment, he was busy and said, "It's just that the officials below have sent a letter. Lord Zhou has read the letter and is afraid that something is coming from below." It was over, so Mr. Zhou put down the letter and rushed out of the city. "
Zhou Ran asked again: "Where has he gone?"
The guard was startled and said hurriedly: "This subordinate doesn't know."
Zhou Ran had been holding back his anger for a long time. He slammed the tea cup and said angrily: "Where has he gone? You, a personal bodyguard, don't know? What if something goes wrong with him? You said you want you to What's the use?"
The guard was so busy that he bowed to plead guilty and said: "Madam Mingjian, it was Lord Zhou who gave the order and forbade the subordinates to follow. There was nothing I could do about it, so I followed the Lord's order and came back to inform Madam. Madam, please don't be angry!"
Zhou Xingli jumped to his feet and wanted to curse again, but Liu Changsheng stopped him and said to the guard, "Okay, please step back first."
"Yes, yes, I'm resigning." The guard was so excited that he retreated as if he had heard of the amnesty.
Zhou Chi glared at Liu Changsheng and said, "Why are you stopping me? Zhou Chi has disappeared! What if something happens! Ever since he was a child, he has never been so silent without a trace!" There must be something going on here!”
"Since he is silent, he doesn't want us to know, so why are you angry at a guard?" Liu Changsheng showed his calmness, stretched out his hand to pour another cup of tea for Zhou Ran and handed it to him, while saying, "Zhou Chi is not I’m a kid, do I have to report to you when I come in and out every day?”
"But... but..." Zhou Ran knew that he was wrong, but he still muttered angrily, "But who knows if he went to the capital. What if he went to the capital quietly?"
