Wen Renchi didn't know that his sister was arranging such an arduous task for him. He had just left the Shi family army and became the left commander of the city defense army.
He's a pretty big official, so he has a lot of people coming to his door.
Especially the matchmakers!
"Brother, Mr. Jin's wife invites you to gather at Juxian Tower."
When Wen Renchi was on a tour with his subordinates, someone hurriedly came to report. There have been so many such invitations recently, which makes him very annoyed.
He said solemnly, "If you go and reply, just say that I have to patrol the city and don't have time to attend the invitation. Please forgive me, Mrs. Jin."
After saying that, he took his people and left without looking back.
The boy sent by Mrs. Jin to deliver the message was not far away. He heard Wen Renchi's words clearly. As soon as he left, he cursed in a low voice: "My wife invited you kindly, but he actually refused. I really don't know what's going on." !”
The soldier who was delivering the message glanced at the young man, and said in an equally annoyed tone: "What's so great about a little official's wife? Our boss will just disappear if he says he won't see you. If you keep nagging me, I'll beat you!"
Although Wen Renchi was included in the formation of the city protection army, he did not go in alone to suffer the anger. Shi Junhe directly assigned the team that he had trained well in the Shi family army to the city protection army.
No one was dissatisfied with the power of the Shi family army. The commander of the city defense army was currently the Minister of War, Leng Yuan. He would not have any objections and even took the initiative to help cover up the irregularities.
Seeing the fierce look on the soldier's face, the boy compared their figures and walked away dejectedly with his tail between his legs.
The group of people at the back burst into laughter, and one of the big men spat on the ground with great disdain, "Bah, what the hell, you have the nerve to show off to our boss in front of the wall."
A small man answered with envy: "Brother Xiong, you can't say that. You have never seen her. That daughter of the Jin family is really good-looking. I saw her from a distance in the flower market before and almost missed her." Slobber."
Xiong Zhuang glanced at the little man with disgust, "Oh! You're good-looking. You've always known that you want to look good. Wang Laosan, please restrain yourself. If the boss knew that you ran to the brothel as soon as you took a bath, he would be very angry. I can’t break your legs.”
"Oh my god, Brother Xiong, don't tell me about this. Didn't I agree that you won't go?!" Wang Laosan quickly covered Xiong Zhuang's mouth, for fear that his words would be overheard by those in front of him. Renchi heard it.
Xiong Zhuang waved away Wang Laosan's hand impatiently, "It's better if you really do it! If you let the people in the city guard underestimate our boss, I won't be able to spare you even if you don't have to say anything!"
Wang Laosan shrank his neck and nodded in agreement, "I know, I will definitely do it, I will definitely do it!"
Several people followed Wen Renchi around Beicheng and Dongcheng. There was no time in the morning, but Wen Renchi didn't stop. He changed into casual clothes and rushed to Shi's house.
"Are you going to be someone's grandson again?" Xiong Zhuang spat impatiently with a fierce face.
Tieniu next to him was not surprised and whispered: "You usually teach Wang Laosan, but why don't you know how to restrain yourself when it's your turn? Look what you said, brother, after all, he is a member of the Shi family. , go back and ask Ando about normal things."
Xiong Zhuang saw that there were only two of them in the room, and immediately stopped pretending, "We are returning to Shi's family! If the eldest brother's family was really at that time, how could the eldest brother be kicked out of the Shi family army? Why should we give it to the Shi family gang? Make room for the softies.”
Tieniu sighed and warned in a low voice: "General Shi treats our boss well. Even if you are not afraid of General Shi's heart, you can't let the boss be accused of being unfilial and disloyal, right?"
Xiong Zhuang shut up angrily and argued: "I'm not saying General Shi is bad, I'm talking about those grandsons of the Shi family..."
Under Tieniu's threatening eyes, Xiong Zhuang said no more.
At this moment, Wang Laosan hurriedly ran in, "Where's the elder brother? Someone is looking for him, so I asked him to wait in the living room."
Xiong Zhuang glared at Wang Laosan impatiently, "Didn't the boss say you won't see guests? You can kick people out, but you can also lead them to the living room. Are you not afraid of wasting tea?"
A crisp female voice interjected, "I wonder who made our Brother Xiong so angry that he even refused to give me a cup of tea!"
When Xiong Zhuang heard the voice at first, he thought it sounded familiar. He didn't recognize it for a moment. When he opened up Wang Laosan and took a look, he immediately looked at her and said, "Miss, why are you here?"
Shi Jiajun was loyal to Shi Lei, Shi Junhe, and even Wen Renchi, but he did not buy into the Shi family's family members. Shi Qingxue was probably the only one in the family who could gain the respect of Shi Jiajun.
Xiong Zhuang had always liked the sixth young lady of the Shi family who seemed petite but was actually smarter and smarter than them, but this time he was feeling guilty and his voice was much lower.
Shi Qingxue didn't feel embarrassed and smiled lightly, "I'm here to see big brother, where are the others?"
Xiong Zhuang and Tieniu looked at each other and replied truthfully: "The boss has returned to Shi's house."
"Why is this like this!" Shi Qingxue pouted unhappily. As soon as she came back from Yecheng, she ran non-stop to the city guard's camp to find Wen Renchi to settle down with Feng Siniang. She didn't expect that the two of them would be perfect. Missed.
She sighed helplessly and asked again: "Brother Xiong, Brother Tieniu, I heard from daddy that you have also come to protect the city. Are you still used to your life these days?"
Even though they knew that the dignified sixth lady of the Shi family had always been low-key with them, several people present were still a little flattered when they heard this. Tieniu quickly replied: "Thank you for your concern, Miss. Everything is fine with us."
Shi Qingxue looked around and nodded after confirming that it was not shabby, "What about eldest brother? How is he doing lately? I haven't had a good talk with him for a long time."
It had been more than two months since Duke Shi's triumphant return, but she had not had many opportunities to meet Wen Renchi, let alone have a good chat. If Wen Renchi hadn't been very busy, she would have thought that her eldest brother didn't like her and wanted to avoid her. She did.
Xiong Zhuang was the first to answer this time: "Brother, everything is fine. Miss, don't worry, we old men are living a rough life, everything will be fine!"
"Oh, then I'm relieved!" Qingxue's little face smiled again.
Just as she was about to speak, Wen Renchi's faint voice came from behind, "Qingxue, why are you here?"
Shi Qingxue was overjoyed when she heard this, and quickly turned to Wen Renchi with a bright smile, walked over and hugged Wen Renchi's arm, and said coquettishly: "Brother, you are finally back, I miss you! "
A suspicious blush flashed across Wenren Chi's fair face, but it was quickly suppressed by him. No one noticed that he said as usual: "Da Zhuang, A Niu, you go down first."
The remaining people left the scene obediently.
Wen Renchi closed the door and asked again: "Qingxue, why are you here?"
Shi Qingxue had long been accustomed to Wen Renchi's "incomprehensible style" and was not angry. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Wen Renchi with a flattering expression on her face, "Brother, you just came from home, you must be thirsty." , let’s have a cup of tea!”
Wen Renchi raised his eyes and looked at Shi Qingxue for a while. He knew clearly that this little thing would be up to no good if he tried to please him, but he still couldn't bear to let Qingxue hold the cup. He took it and took a sip, then asked the question again.
Shi Qingxue finally saw the slender head of her elder brother, rolled her eyes helplessly, and said in one breath: "I sent your wife Zeng Tai here, you arrange a place for her, preferably that kind of place" A place where others can’t find and live a good life.”
Wen Renchi was not a fool. He immediately understood the underlying meaning of Qingxue's words and nodded in agreement without any hesitation, "Okay, I know what to do."
Shi Qingxue paused and didn't use any of the prepared words. Isn't this too light
"Brother, did you agree?" She blinked, still a little unbelievable.
Wen Renchi nodded again, "Yeah."
Shi Qingxue smiled again, as bright as a peach blossom, which made Wen Renchi startled, and Qingxue hugged his arm again, saying sweet words for free: "Brother, you are so kind, I love you the most." I like you!"
Wen Renchi was so excited that he clenched his fists and used a lot of restraint not to hug the little man in front of him.
He turned away his face and pretended to be calm, "When did I not do what you said?"
This has been the case since childhood. As long as Shi Qingxue acts coquettishly, there is nothing Wen Renchi cannot agree to with Shi Qingxue.
Oh, this situation has become more and more serious as he grows up. Whenever Shi Qingxue opens his mouth, he will agree without hesitation.
Shi Qingxue smiled secretly and suddenly said: "Then I want you to move back to Jinhuaxuan, okay?"
The smile on Wen Renchi's face froze, and the excitement in his heart suddenly cooled down, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
"Because you live here, I can't see you often!" Shi Qingxue pursed her lips unhappily. She knew that Wen Renchi had his own considerations in everything he did, but for some reason, she just felt that since Wen Renchi After joining the city guard army, the relationship with the Shi family and her became estranged.
She didn't like this feeling at all.
Wen Renchi avoided Shi Qingxue's gaze, put the tea cup down casually, and smiled: "Sixth sister hasn't visited the city guard's barracks yet? How about I let Tieniu take you for a walk?"
Shi Qingxue was stunned and didn't believe that Wen Renchi had fooled her
"I don't!" Shi Qingxue would never compromise with her closest relatives. She pulled Wen Renchi and saw that he didn't move, so she simply walked to Wen Renchi.
Seeing that the other party still wanted to tilt his head, she stretched out her hand to fix Wen Renchi's cheeks, so that the other party could only look at her, and asked seriously: "Brother, are you angry with me?"
Wen Renchi denied it without thinking, "No, how could it be?"
Shi Qingxue didn't believe it, "If not, why did you call me 'Sixth Sister'? You've never called me that politely!"
What did I do badly to make you angry? Is it because I asked you to take care of Feng Siniang that it embarrasses you? If you are in trouble, I can..."
Wen Renchi couldn't hear Shi Qingxue's increasingly lower voice, which would make his heart ache.
He couldn't help it any longer, grabbed Qingxue's little hand, held it tightly, and said word by word: "I won't be angry with you, and I never will."
Even if he had something in mind, he shouldn't let such emotions hurt his most beloved baby.
