"Ahem," Du Heng coughed twice and bumped Zheng Zuoyang with his elbow, "Zuoyang, why are you always distracted? The prince was just talking to you."
Only then did Zheng Zuoyang come to his senses. He was so busy that he put down the tea bowl in his hand and said to Lu Zhishan with an apologetic look on his face: "My subordinate has lost his composure, please ask the general to punish him."
"There are a lot of things going on during the Lunar New Year, so it's okay to not have a good rest," Lu Zhishan said, taking a sip of tea, "If you are tired, take advantage of the Lunar New Year to take a good rest."
Zheng Zuoyang was a little embarrassed: "My subordinates rested well, but... just..."
Zheng Zuoyang looked hesitant to speak and a little embarrassed. Both Lu Zhishan and Du Heng looked puzzled and waited for him to continue. However, Zheng Zuoyang did not continue. He lowered his head and stared at the cold tea. I don’t know what I’m thinking.
Du Heng finally couldn't hold it back: "Zuoyang, what on earth do you want to say?"
Zheng Zuoyang didn't say a word, and just kept his head down. After a long time, he suddenly stood up, walked to Lu Zhishan, and fell to his knees with a "pop", which shocked both Lu Zhishan and Du Heng.
"Zuoyang, what are you..." Lu Zhishan was so busy that he went over to help Zheng Zuoyang up, but was blocked by Zheng Zuoyang.
"General, I think... I want to marry Fang." Zheng Zuoyang said to Lu Zhishan with a serious and nervous look on his face.
Lu Zhishan and Du Heng were both startled. Lu Zhishan was a little incredulous: "You said, the one you want to marry is... Mr. Fang Zeduan's daughter, the Fang family?"
Zheng Zuoyang nodded and continued with great solemnity: "General, I really like Mr. Fang. I used to like him when I was still in southern Ganxi. But at that time, Mr. Fang was immersed in a sea of misery and couldn't extricate himself. It was impossible to consider marriage, and Lord Fang At that time, I didn't submit to the general, so my subordinates could only endure it in their hearts. But now, the Fang family has been separated from the past, and Mr. Fang has also returned to the general, so this subordinate... I can't bear it anymore, and still General, please agree."
"Zuoyang, you have traveled with me all these years, and it has been really hard for you to be over 10 years old and not yet married. Now that you have finally found a beautiful woman, I am happy for you. Besides, that Fang family is a rare good woman. , I'm even more happy for you," Lu Zhishan said sincerely, then paused and said, "I just don't know if Fang will agree to it?"
Zheng Zuoyang looked slightly unnatural, and he stuttered: "I don't know yet whether she... is interested in me, and I don't even know... whether she is willing."
Du Heng couldn't help but said: "Then let her be interested in you! Let her be willing! Don't act so cowardly, it will really embarrass our Prince Ning's Palace!"
Zheng Zuoyang's face turned slightly red: "But, I really don't know... I don't know what to do. I'm afraid... I'm afraid she won't like me."
"I didn't expect that Zheng Zuoyang, the most eloquent, would be so stumbling," Lu Zhishan joked, paused, and then said seriously to Zheng Zuoyang, "That Fang is not a back-house woman with narrow vision, you She knows how to treat her sincerely, isn't it true that she is afraid of being sincere? "
Zheng Zuoyang took a deep breath, blushed and said to Lu Zhishan: "Yes, I will remember the general's teachings."
Lu Zhishan asked Song Fu to bring over the silk and satin that Mu Nanzhi had prepared for Fang. He was happy, and then asked Song Fu to take a fine mutton-fat jade necklace from the warehouse and give it to Xiao Shixiu. Zheng Zuoyang He hurriedly took the silk satin and necklace and said goodbye and returned to Fang Mansion.
