On the other side, Zhao Jie separated from Nangong Xue and went straight to Xiong's house in a carriage. When he arrived at the gate of his mansion, Zhao Jie simply handed his name card to the guard guarding the door and asked him to check it. When the guards saw that it was the royal emblem printed on the name card, they immediately straightened up, and then opened the name card to see that it was the Seventh Prince, and the guard immediately knelt down respectfully and greeted: Say hello to the Seven Princes. Zhao Jie raised his hand and said lightly: "Well, get up." Is your son-in-law at home? The guard hurriedly replied, "Back to the Seventh Prince, at home, the prince has just returned." As soon as Zhao Jie heard that the majority of bears were at home, he nodded and said, "Hmm." I know. With that, he lifted his feet and stepped over the high threshold, and walked in on his own.

As soon as he entered the gate, Zhao Jie saw the vast number of bears sitting in the main hall with a tea bowl and drinking slowly. Zhao Jie walked up to him in three steps and two steps, and said hello: "Young Master, oh no, it should be Deputy Staff Officer Guang!" It's hard work to participate in soldier drills. ”

In fact, since graduating from the academy, the majority of Xiong has adhered to his father's expectations as a deputy staff officer in Beijing, and on weekdays, he usually trains with the soldiers in the military field, and is responsible for managing the daily life of the soldiers. As soon as the vast number of Xiong heard this, he looked towards the door, and then noticed that it was Zhao Jie who came, so he immediately put down the tea bowl, walked over quickly, and said, "Hey, the Seventh Prince, why do you have time to come to me today?" You don't have to take care of the flowers in the imperial garden of your palace? ”

"What? Not welcome? Zhao Jie visited, "If I'm not welcome, I'll leave." Doesn't disturb your rest. ”

"See what you're talking about?" The vast number of bears hurriedly explained, "How dare I not let you come, give me a hundred dares, I don't dare, do I?" I'm just curious, how can you give up...... Came out? Didn't you ...... before? ”

"Is it better if I don't come out?" Zhao Jie glanced at Zhao Jie and said, "I have this image in your eyes?" For this image, it's time for me to come out, the palace compound is at most where I eat and sleep. Don't always use the word "reluctant", I can't come out with the meaning you said. Got it? ”

"Well, the Seventh Prince understands it." The majority of Xiong hurriedly replied, "Let's stop standing and talking, let's talk inside when it's so hot." As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Jie into the main hall, sat him down, poured him a bowl of water, and said politely, "Please drink water from the Seventh Prince." Let's talk while drinking. ”

Zhao Jie took it and took a sip unceremoniously and said, "Well, it's really thirsty, don't say I'm really thirsty." Don't just sit on me, sit on me too. After speaking, he pulled the bear to sit next to him.

Immediately, the vast number of Xiong asked: "Seventh Prince, let's not gossip, shouldn't you come today to see me?" Is there something else going on? ”

Zhao Jie nodded slightly and replied: "Well, you guessed right, I really need your help with something, that's the case, I want to go out of the city and into the mountains tomorrow morning, I don't know if you can send a few soldiers and take them into the mountains with me?" It won't be long, just one day at most. I don't know if you agree? ”

The vast number of bears frowned and said, "Shouldn't you go to the mountains to get soil again?" Zhao Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this, he hurriedly put down the tea bowl and patted the coffee table lightly: "Oh, you guessed right, I still have to get soil." Is it convenient? The vast bear took a closer look at Zhao Jie and continued: "How much do you want to get this time?" But isn't there enough soil for your garden? Why do you have to get dirt again? ”

"Uh-huh,......。" Zhao Jie told the majority of Xiong in detail about helping Nangong Xue build a garden, and said, "Although I am going into the mountains to get soil, there is another meaning, that is, to give you a chance to create a picture, don't you like Xiaoxue very much?" After graduation, you won't have time to have contact with people, and your relationship will be rusty, right? That's why I'm looking for you. Are you going or not? ”

The vast number of Xiong carefully reviewed Zhao Jie's words in his mind, and then replied: "Just tell me to go or is there someone else?" ”

"Well...... there's the twelve." Zhao Jie confessed, "But I don't dare to guarantee whether he will go or not." You don't care about anything else, you just say whether you are going or not, right? ”

The vast bear thought carefully again and said, "Go, I'll go." Zhao Chen's old boy will definitely be good with Huang Mei. Xiaoxue's side, he didn't have a chance to fight for it. Just listen to your orders, and I will take a few people to Xicheng to find you early tomorrow morning. We'll see you there. ”

After hearing the firm reply of the majority of Xiong, Zhao Jie was very happy and said: "This is really much easier than the last time, obviously happier than the last time, and he did not hesitate." Xiaoxue, your strength is really great. Then he replied, "Okay, let's decide, I'll wait for you in Xicheng early tomorrow morning, by the way, you must tell you about borrowing a few soldiers, can't it reach my father's ears?" ”

"yes, got it." The vast number of bears replied, "Don't worry, I won't let them talk nonsense." ”

Zhao Jie saw that the vast number of bears were properly arranged, then stood up and said goodbye: "Okay, then I'll do this, since it's arranged, I'll go back first." You're busy. After speaking, Zhao Jie walked to the door, and the vast number of bears followed him again and again, sending him off to each other. After sending Zhao Jie out of the door and getting in the car to leave, the vast number of bears instructed the family to prepare the carriage and go straight to the barracks.

……

……

After Zhao Jie returned to the palace, he went straight to Zhao Chen's bedroom. After arriving at Zhao Chen's dormitory, he didn't see Zhao Chen, so he asked the attendant, "Where is your master?" The attendant hurriedly suspended the work in his hand and replied respectfully: "Back to the Seventh Prince, the Twelfth Prince is practicing swords in the backyard at this moment." Zhao Jie nodded and responded: "Well, I know that I'll go to him, you guys are busy." After saying that, he walked towards the backyard on his own.

After coming to the backyard, Zhao Jie saw Zhao Chen dancing the sword seriously in the yard, because he was concentrating on dancing the sword, so he didn't notice that Zhao Jie was coming. And Zhao Jie stood quietly in the corridor, watching him dance his sword and not interrupting him. Just watched quietly, about half an hour later, Zhao Chen finished practicing the sword, he took the towel handed over by the maid, wiped the sweat that oozes out, the maid lowered her head and replied respectfully: "The Twelve Princes of Qiqi, the Seventh Prince is already waiting for you on the side." ”

Hearing the maid's reply, Zhao Chen put down the towel and asked, "How long have you been here?" Where are I waiting for me? The maid took the towel and pointed to the corridor, and replied, "It's right there in the corridor, and it's been about half an hour." Because you are practicing swords, you didn't let the maidservant report it. After speaking, Zhao Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know, you go down first." I will call you if necessary. Then the maid withdrew.

Zhao Chen walked up to Zhao Jie with a smile and greeted, "Hello Seventh Brother!" Are you free to visit me today? Have you been waiting for a long time? ”

"It's good for the old twelve to come in!" Zhao Jie smiled, "I didn't have to wait long, it's also a pleasure to watch you practice swords." ”

"Okay, let's stop saying these polite words." Zhao Chen said, "Is there something wrong with you coming today?" ”

"Since you guessed it, I'll get straight to the point." Zhao Jie said, "I want to go into the mountain tomorrow, Twelfth Brother, why don't you go with me on a trip?" I think....... ”

"Are you going to get dirt again?" Before Zhao Jie finished speaking, Zhao Chen said, "Okay, it just so happens that I also want to go out for a walk, but it's always too boring in the palace." I really want to go now. ”

“……？” Zhao Jie was a little confused by his readily agreed. Just stared at him blankly. After being silent for a while, he said, "Then it's decided, I'll see you in Xicheng early tomorrow morning?" ”

"Westside?" Zhao Chen was taken aback at first, and then nodded again and again, "Okay." I'll be there on time tomorrow morning. ”

"Then I'll go back first." Zhao Jie said, "See you tomorrow." After speaking, Zhao Jie said goodbye to Zhao Chen and left. On the way back, Zhao Jie was still very puzzled and wondered: "What's wrong with the old twelve today?" I'm a little uncomfortable with being so happy. Forget it, whatever, as long as he is willing to go, one more person to take care of. If you work more, you won't get tired. A lot of effort has been shared. So he thought about it and walked towards his dormitory.

After Zhao Jie left, Zhao Chen said to himself happily as if he had won the jackpot: "My God, I finally found an excuse, I am tired of cheating every day." It's all guilty. Finally, there is no need to deceive. It's so comforting. Brother Seven really saved me. ”

……

……

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Zhao Chen came to Xicheng early, and as soon as he came, he saw that Xicheng had changed greatly. It feels like the North City where he lives, clean and tidy, and it seems to be slightly richer than the North City, of course, he thinks that there are more shops than the North City. And it's a lot more convenient. Most of the northern city is the area where high-ranking officials of the imperial court live, but the shops are a little deserted. To put it simply, there's not much to shop. If there is really a demand, I will still go to Dongcheng to procure. Looking at the changes in Xicheng, Zhao Chen couldn't help but praise: "I can't see that Xiaoxue is still a person with a lot of ideas." It took more than a year to transform Xicheng so well. It's unbelievable. ”

Zhao Chen was talking to himself here, Nangong Xue walked over and said, "Yo, long time no see, Twelve Princes." As soon as Zhao Chen heard someone greet him, he hurriedly turned around and took a look, and his heart blossomed. said: "Xiaoxue, it's been a year since the last small gathering, have you almost forgotten us?" ”

"Look at what you say. How can you forget. Nangong Xue hurriedly replied, "I'm really busy here, and I can't care about getting together with you again." When my project is completely finished, let's get together again. ”

"Good! That's what you said. Zhao Chen said, "Then let's settle it, don't you regret and prevaricate when the time comes?" ”

Nangong Xue swore to Zhao Chen: "Don't worry, I, Nangong Xue, mean what I say." ”

What the two were talking about, the vast number of bears and eight soldiers also walked towards them, Nangong Xue looked at it from a distance, and felt that this picture was a little cool, and it was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. "The pictures of the previous life are almost forgotten, and I really can't remember it." Nangong Xuexin said. After the vast number of bears came over, the three of them finished greeting each other, and the vast bears looked at Nangong Xue for a while and didn't know what to say. In the end, it was Nangong Xue who spoke: "Big Bear, your deputy staff officer seems to be quite stylish, and you are quite decent with a few soldiers behind you." ”

"Awards, awards." The majority of Xiong replied in a loud voice, "My official position is no different from that of a soldier commander, at most, there are more people in charge." The work is the same as that of a soldier commander. Not as grand as you think. However, if there is a chance to lead troops to the battlefield, it is magnificent, of course, this is just talking, from a personal point of view, I really don't want to fight. It's better to be peaceful. It's good for the people, for the soldiers, and for the country. The death and wounding of soldiers in a battle is only one aspect, and the most devastating disaster for the common people is the most devastating disaster. Nothing to fight is the best outcome for us. Of course, if I really want to fight, then I will still choose to go to the battlefield without hesitation, to protect the country, protect the people, and of course, protect the people I want to protect. This is our duty as soldiers. ”

Hearing the majority of Xiong say this, Nangong Xue couldn't help but admire in her heart and said, "So many years have passed. You're so mature! I think a lot. I also know that I have taken on the responsibility and grown up. It's great that you can have this heart, and we are all good friends. ”

"Bear, did you eat honey this morning?" Zhao Chen said a little sneeringly, "The mouth is so good at talking? ”

"What words? I don't like to hear that, do you say that? The vast bear glanced at Zhao Chen and replied, "I've always talked like this, right?" Whatever words come to your mouth, they all taste bad. No wonder it always makes Huang Mei angry. Did you avoid Huang Mei again today? Tell me about your family, Huang Mei is so obedient to you, you don't cherish it, what do you want to do? ”

"Oops! Speaking of you, why did you get to Huang Ying's side again? Zhao Chen retorted, "I came today and my seventh brother called me, why do you say that I am hiding from Huang Ying?" Besides, why am I hiding? ”

"If you can't hide, you seem to have a mirror in your heart." The vast bear said, "Less ......." ”

Nangong Xue couldn't help but feel a little irritated when she heard the quarrel between the two of them. Hurriedly dissuaded: "Okay, let's say a few words, what's the noise in the early morning?" Bad luck or not? The good mood is going to make you noisy. If you quarrel, go back and quarrel. ”

As he was talking, Hua Hua walked over with Zhao Jie, Zhao Jie looked at several expressions that were not quite right, and the atmosphere was also very deadlocked, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "It's all here, then let's stop clubbing, let's start work, do it early." ”

Saying that, Zhao Jie began to assign tasks: "That's the case, today's job is to transport part of the soil in this park to the mountain, and then transport the soil in the mountain back and bury it in the park." Because I want to go into the mountain, for the sake of safety, I bother the majority of bears and twelve of you to go into the mountain with you. It's a mutual gift. You two have no questions, right? Xiong Xiong and Zhao Chen shook their heads and responded in unison: "There is no doubt. After hearing the answers of these two people, Zhao Jie turned his head and said to Hua Hua: "Hua Hua has worked hard for your engineering team today, and when I am done today, I will definitely invite everyone to dinner." ”

Hua Hua Dai workers said: "Okay! Then we'll settle our minds. So what are you waiting for, let's get started. With that, he turned around and assigned tasks to all the workers of the engineering team. After a while, the kung fu big guy began to work. They first excavated a park according to Zhao Jie's wishes, and when the excavated soil was almost finished, Zhao Jie counted the bags used and then asked them to load them into a truck and transport them to the mountains, and then told the remaining workers to dig each park according to the amount just now. Then he led the convoy and took Zhao Chen and the vast number of bears into the mountain.

Along the way, Zhao Chen and the majority of Xiong still didn't talk and communicate, this Zhao Jie couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Zhao Chen about yesterday's question: "Old Twelve, you responded to my business so readily yesterday, do you have another reason?" Zhao Chen waved his hand and hurriedly replied: "What's the matter, Seventh Brother, you are too careful." Zhao Jie was still a little unconvinced, and asked rhetorically, "Really?" Am I too careful? Don't hide it from me, if you sell me, I'll wipe your ass back, you'd better not make trouble for me. I can't afford it. I have more to do in the future. I can't take care of the other things. Zhao Chen nodded again and again and replied, "It's really nothing." Brother Seven, don't think about it. I just wanted to come out and hang out, nothing else. I'm not like Big Bear. He must have come to see the little snow girl. I'm not. Zhao Jie listened, nodded slightly, and said, "That's the best." ”

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the vast number of bears on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Twelve, I think you're still hiding it, right?" My house is door to door with Huang Ying's house, I still know what is going on with Huang Mei, did you always want to see Huang Mei in the past? Let the maids and attendants lie to others all day long that you are not there, and then send Huang Mei away? Do you think you believe it every day? It's been two days on this day, and you can still believe it, but after a long time, you can lie to others for the same reason, so you dare to believe it if you say it? Don't you want to see people today, so you're hiding here? ”

After hearing the majority of Xiong's remarks, Zhao Jie became more or less clear, and he was used as a shield by his own brother in this way. So with an innocent expression on his face, he said lightly: "It seems that I really want to give you the aftermath." You, you, how can you say that you both have a marriage contract, why do you have to pay attention, right? Don't upset people if they don't like you? You are so nonsense, how people think of you and what they think of you. ”

"Okay, okay." Zhao Chen replied convincingly, "I admit that I am wrong, I am just to avoid her today, I know what you mean, but Huang Ying is too clingy, and she is too tired to be with her." I don't like her always following me like this, and she comes to me every day when she has nothing to do. I can't take it anymore. Hey, Big Bear, why don't you tell her not to come to me every day. I still have my own to do. I couldn't do anything when she came. ”

"It's harder." The vast number of Xiong replied, "Sister Huang is a stubborn person herself, it's really hard to tell her." Otherwise, the two of you will let the emperor choose a date to get married, maybe Huang Mei will change by then? And you'll be free to do whatever you want. But speaking of which, Huang Mei still cares about the family, if you really marry back, then you will be happy, and you will definitely be a good wife and mother. ……。 ”

"Stop, stop." Zhao Chen hurriedly interrupted, "Oh my God, I just want you to help me persuade her not to come to me when she has nothing to do." It's good that you're all about getting married, I don't want to marry her so early, haven't you seen it, after our eldest brother married his sister-in-law, he suddenly lost his freedom, and now it's okay, his son and daughter are even more anxious. I don't want to save that day so soon. Don't talk about it. I'm not going to think about it. ”

After speaking, Zhao Jie and the vast number of Xiong glanced at each other, exchanged a look with each other, and stopped talking about this topic. As he spoke, the convoy came to the mountain, and saw that the workers poured bags of soil into the designated place one by one according to Zhao Jie's instructions, and then asked the workers to start a shovel of the mountain to bag the humus soil in the mountain. When everything was loaded, he turned around and went back the way he came. After returning to the park in Xicheng, they filled the bags of soil they brought back into the park, and they returned to the mountains with the loaded soil. In this way, I was busy again and again, and I was finally done in the evening. In fact, after the soil of the park was poured on the mountain, it was filled in the dug place, and Zhao Jie did not forget to mix the soil of those parks with leaves, so that the soil would become usable humus soil again.

In order to reward the people who had been busy all day, Nangong Xue invited them all to Jinfuxuan for dinner. This large group of people had a good meal under the greeting of Nangong Xue. The workers are also very grateful to Nangong Xue for showing them such compassion.
