Zhao Sheng was restless in the room, pacing anxiously.
Someone finally came outside, and he immediately asked impatiently: "How is it? Did you find out clearly?"
The visitor replied: "Let me find out clearly! The Chinese girl's name is Hua Qingxue. She rented a room in the He family. She rarely interacts with people on weekdays. Recently, He Wu happened to be back from vacation, so they lived under the same roof. In fact, the two of them are not familiar with each other, that is, they just met each other, but the neighbors seem to be very optimistic about this couple... He Wu will return to the camp during the Chinese New Year, oh, by the way! That He Wu is from the Qingzhou camp. Thousand households in the Hussars camp.”
Not familiar with him, just met.
Zhao Sheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Steward Zhao, what should we do next? Are we going to invite the official media?"
Zhao Sheng thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'll go check out that Chinese girl's tone first..."
"Is this necessary? The general wants to marry me, but I'm afraid it's too late to be happy!"
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens..."
…
Hua Qingxue finished cooking the last pot of Dorayaki and wiped her sweat exhausted.
She was exhausted.
Because the people in Panshui City heard that the border guards also guarded the border during the New Year, everyone spontaneously made New Year's goods at home and sent them to the Qingzhou camp together.
Aunt He made nearly a hundred bean buns, Aunt Cao prepared five large cans of bean paste, and the neighbors also prepared a variety of food. There were also people making dumplings.
Hua Qingxue naturally followed the locals and got a share.
Crispy egg rolls are easy to crush, so she made a lot of dorayaki and used most of the butter, which made her feel bad because butter was so hard to buy.
But then I thought about it, those soldiers were really great in protecting their homes and the country. If the food I made could make them fuller and stronger on the battlefield, then it was not in vain and it was all worth it. .
"Sister Hua! Are you okay?"
There were shouts from outside.
"I'm coming!"
Hua Qingxue didn't dare to delay, so she picked up the prepared cotton cloth, wrapped the dorayaki, tied it in a knot, and ran out quickly.
Two bullock carts have been waiting at the entrance of the alley for a long time. At this moment, the bullock carts piled up into a hill, carrying the wishes of the people of Panshui City.
Although Hua Qingxue was not from Panshui City, looking at such a scene, she couldn't help but be touched and felt warm in her heart.
She followed everyone and put her share on the oxcart, and then watched the oxcart leave with the crowd. She was a little inexplicably excited. She always felt that she had done a good thing.
Hua Qingxue walked home contentedly. She didn't go far when she unexpectedly saw a carriage parked at the entrance of the courtyard.
When the driver on the carriage saw her, he immediately turned around and said something to the people in the carriage.
Hua Qingxue blinked, looking puzzled.
Who is this
Butler Zhao was wearing a large mink velvet brocade cotton robe and holding a copper hand warmer in his hand. He leaned half out of the carriage. When he saw Hua Qingxue, he immediately beamed -
"Miss Hua, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Seeing that she knew the visitor, Hua Qingxue said hello happily: "Steward Zhao, why are you here? I just went with everyone to deliver New Year's goods to the soldiers in the camp. Butler Zhao, the general's office is ready. New Year’s goods?”
What a mess...
Zhao Sheng's eyebrows twitched, but he kept smiling, "The people in Panshui City are very enthusiastic. The soldiers have received the New Year's goods, and they can have a good New Year even in the military camp."
"Will the general go to the military camp during the Chinese New Year?" Hua Qingxue asked curiously.
Zhao Sheng and Yourong replied calmly: "That's natural. Our general has always been strict in self-discipline and has never slacked off in guarding the border."
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but sigh: "The general serves the country and the people, it is really admirable..."
Zhao Shengxin said: You can have admiration, but it would be better if it is admiration.
"Ah!" Hua Qingxue suddenly remembered something, called out softly, and said hurriedly, "Steward Zhao, wait for me!"
After that, she picked up her skirt and ran into the house.
Before Zhao Sheng understood what was going on, he saw Hua Qingxue coming back holding a cloth bundle.
"This is a crispy egg roll. Don't press it when you hold it. It will break easily." Hua Qingxue handed it to him with a smile. "It is my thank you gift to the general. Although it is not worth a few dollars, it is still my gift." Thanks to the general for taking care of me when I was in Renqiu City..."
Zhao Sheng took the egg roll in his hand in a daze, thinking: Does this count as an exchange of affection? does it count? Does it count? !
But Miss Hua, if you want to express your gratitude, why don't you pledge yourself to me
Just pledge yourself to me! How easy it is!
Zhao Sheng smiled brightly and said: "Um... Miss Hua, I'm here to visit you this time because I have something I want to discuss with Miss Hua."
"Huh?" Hua Qingxue blinked, looking confused, "You want to discuss it with me? What's the matter?"
Zhao Sheng looked around, smiled and said, "Can I take a moment to speak?"
The ancients also liked to pick places...
Hua Qingxue thought for a while, and then imitated the graceful style of the ancients and said, "If Butler Zhao doesn't mind the humbleness of the house, please come in and have a cup of tea."
Zhao Sheng got off the carriage and followed Hua Qingxue into the house.
He looked at the houses in the courtyard. Well, they were just ordinary houses. They were not considered rich, and definitely not shabby.
Even Hua Qingxue's house... was weird. He didn't realize the elegance of his daughter's house, but there were many strange things, and he couldn't recognize what they were...
"Steward Zhao, I have red dates, wolfberry tea and winter melon tea here. Which one do you drink?" Hua Qingxue asked.
Zhao Sheng came to his senses and realized that he was not really here to drink tea. He immediately said, "Actually, I came down to see Miss Hua to discuss... Miss Hua's affairs with our general."
"Me and the general?" Hua Qingxue didn't know why, "What can happen between me and the general?"
When Zhao Sheng saw her confused look, he knew he had come to the right place! This Chinese girl is indeed... How to describe it
Should I say she is relatively innocent, or should I say she is heartless
He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "Actually, for this matter, the General's Mansion sent someone here the day before yesterday... However, maybe because of a misunderstanding, they were kicked out."
Hua Qingxue's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was trying to remember.
Zhao Sheng said: "So, I came here in person today just to make it clear to Miss Hua that we, General Fu, are attracted to the girl. If the girl is interested, I will arrange for an official matchmaker to come and propose marriage. Girl, you What do you think?"
Hua Qingxue was stunned and said, "Steward Zhao, can you say it again? I think... I may have heard wrong... "
"..." Zhao Sheng was silent, holding back his complaints, and repeated again, "May I ask, girl, if you would like to marry into the general's mansion?"
Marry...the General's Mansion
This, this... this is incredible!
Hua Qingxue's whole body seemed to have been struck by lightning!
This is unscientific!
Didn’t ancient people pay attention to being well-matched
Why would he marry her if he had a big beard for no reason? ! How long have they known each other? ! Crazy? ! !
"General...do you have something to hide?" Hua Qingxue asked with a difficult look on her face, "For example, is there any secret mission that requires a wife temporarily?"
Zhao Sheng's heart: This girl, it's hard to say that this is not the case! ! !
"The girl is worrying too much..." Zhao Sheng's smile was almost unbearable, "I heard the general mentioned about Ren Qiu. He must have had feelings for the girl at that time. Although the matter was urgent, we were in the same room and in the same room. Lying on the same bed, the general should marry the girl due to emotion and reason."
-So, get married soon! Don't dawdle!
After hearing this, Hua Qingxue took a long time to digest...
Slowly, it seems... vaguely... a little bit... understood.
So this is ah…
She suddenly understood!
She found it strange that two people who had only known each other for a short time were suddenly talking about marriage. It was so unreasonable. It turned out that the bearded man was doing it for her reputation and wanted to be responsible for her!
That makes sense! After all, ancient people paid great attention to this, and the bearded man... looked very traditional and old-fashioned.
After Hua Qingxue figured it out, she felt relieved and immediately explained to Zhao Sheng: "Thanks to the general's care when I was in Renqiucheng, I was able to escape from the tiger's mouth. The general was kind to me, and I can't repay the kindness. I also asked Zhao Sheng The housekeeper conveyed his gratitude to me. Although the general and I live in the same room, we have always treated each other with courtesy. The general is a gentleman and has never offended me. There is no need to do so."
The more Zhao Sheng listened, the deeper his frown deepened. After listening, he was stunned!
What? Didn’t you all take off your pants
He then heard Hua Qingxue say: "Marriage should not be taken lightly. There is really no need for the general to make this decision just because of Ren Qiu's matter. The general has a bright future and will naturally marry that famous girl in the future. The little girl really doesn't dare to reach for it."
She said it gracefully and simply and crudely. Hua Qingxue thought that she expressed it very clearly and there should be no ambiguity.
But why did the man in front of him look so shocked
"Steward Zhao?" Hua Qingxue waved her hand in front of Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng came back to his senses instantly and looked at Hua Qingxue with mixed emotions, "Miss Hua, have you... thought about it? Once you marry into the general's mansion, you will be the general's wife. You... do you know what that means? Wealth and honor are like Cloud’s…”
Before he finished speaking, Hua Qingxue interrupted with a smile: "Steward Zhao, this really can't happen. The general and I are not familiar with each other. It's so strange that we are suddenly talking about marriage."
... Not... familiar
How else do you want to be mature? !
Zhao Sheng's heart was in turmoil, but no matter how he tried to persuade her, Hua Qingxue refused to let go. She kept saying the same two sentences over and over again, saying that everything between her and the general was innocent, and the general did not have to compensate her, let alone Treat marriage as a child's play.
In the end, Zhao Sheng began to have doubts about life...
Could it be that... is it really the general who is being too sentimental
Zhao Sheng left in confusion, and then went to see Fu Tingye sweating.
General Fu had just finished practicing martial arts and was sitting on the Grand Master's chair drinking tea.
"What did she say?" asked the general.
Zhao Sheng silently wiped away the cold sweat and replied hesitantly: "She said... she is not familiar with you."
"puff!-"
The general spit out a mouthful of tea! Zhao Sheng's face was wet with tea leaves...
