After harvesting the wheat, the group returned to their homes and sat down on the spot to rest, exhausted.

Qi Xin couldn't help but wonder when she saw that Hu Lao suddenly sneakily pulled Hu Zhu to the side room and closed the door.

The oath that Hu Lao made in front of everyone that day, Qi Xin still remembers it vividly. Hu Lao was determined to marry his daughter to the strong man who saved his wife, but Qi Xin didn't feel anything, and was even moved by Hu Lao's true feelings. But this strong man is his own son, and Qi Xin is a little resistant in her heart. Sooner or later, Hu Lao will fulfill his promise and marry Hu Zhu to Zhao Zijing, this beauty is current, whether Zhao Zijing will agree or refuse politely, Mi Xin is completely uncertain.

He still remembers his original intention of following Zhao Zijing. This is: to restore the reputation of the descendants of the king of Chu, so that everyone in the world will recognize their identity and status. Qi Xin had been planning this matter all night, and following Zhao Zijing was the best choice he felt could get closest to this goal, but Hu Zhu's addition made his plan wave.

If Zhao Zijing can't help but be beautiful and agrees to be Hu Lao's son-in-law, then he will inevitably be bound by his family. Men who are greedy for beauty are either doing nothing; Either you are poor and extravagant, and it is difficult to become a big thing. Qi Xin is not a smart person, but she is an understanding person. He knew that the only way to guide Zhao Zijing to plot the world was to silently support him in the back and subtly influence him to go that way.

Qi Xin will never easily let Zhao Zijing indulge in gentleness and forget his ambitions. Now the right time, place and people have accounted for the second of them, just wait for the time to come, sooner or later can make achievements. Mi Xin plans for Zhao Zijing every day like her father, but as everyone knows, this is just a stepping stone for Mi Xin to pave her ambitions.

Inside the house, Hu Lao closed the door and looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, so he turned to look at his beloved daughter.

"Zhu'er, you've worked hard ,,, all these years!" Hu Lao sighed and said.

"Daddy, where is this, the child still wants to repay you for your nurturing kindness!" Hu Zhu said, poured Hu Lao a cup of tea, and said, "Daddy, I understand what you mean." Do you want to marry me to Zhao Gongzi and fulfill the promise of the day? ”

Hu Lao didn't drink tea, but held Hu Zhu's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Daddy, this is also a helpless move, Zhu'er, you must not blame your father." ”

In ancient times, except for a very small number of traitors, most of the ancients attached great importance to credibility. The so-called being trustworthy and honest to others, if a person has no credit, then it is despised by everyone. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was an allusion to Ji Bu's daughter, and later Ji Bu followed Xiang Yu to make contributions and was greatly used. This also means that Hu Lao must fulfill the oath he made. swore in front of the villagers that if he didn't keep it, even if the villagers didn't say it, his reputation would turn bad and stinky, let alone the villagers who managed this Donghe Township.

"Daddy, don't blame yourself. You're doing the right thing! For the sake of my mother's life, even I would choose this. Zhao Gongzi saved my mother and is a great benefactor of our family, and we should repay them. Hu Zhu said methodically.

"So, you agreed? As long as you agree, I will immediately go and talk to Zhao Zhuangshi and find a matchmaker to settle the marriage one day. Hu Lao stared at Hu Zhu a little impatiently and asked, maybe he was too obvious, he coughed again, pretending to be very reluctant.

Hu Zhu blushed, he didn't expect a lifelong event in his life to come so quickly. The so-called "parents' orders, matchmakers' words", it stands to reason that since ancient times, children's marriages have been arranged by their parents, and Hu Zhu should also obey Hu Lao's arrangement. But Hu Zhu is not a submissive woman, on the contrary, she is very assertive and a little stubborn.

"Why is Daddy in such a hurry. Haven't you considered Zhao Gongzi's thoughts? How could a man with such outstanding appearance and talent be matched by me, a mountain village girl. When the time comes, people will refuse, won't you be even more embarrassed! Hu Zhu analyzed.

This is true! Zhu'er, I look at Zhao Zijing's face is not simple, and he will definitely soar in the future, and he will be extremely rich. So,,, I'll go and find out first, and if it's appropriate, I'll talk to you again!" Hu Lao didn't say what Bai Daoyi reminded him, subconsciously Hu Lao still wanted to marry his daughter to Zhao Zijing as his wife, and even if he used the technique of physiognomy to see Zhao Zijing's extraordinary, isn't this not yet fulfilled?

"Daddy, thoughtful. But ,,, Su'er already has a crush,,, I hope her father will be fulfilled! Hu Su suddenly knelt down on his knees and said pleading with his head down.

"Zhu'er, you must have been blinded by lard! What's so good about that poor boy, he is lazy and lazy, he has big ambitions, and his family money has been ruined by him, and now he has no tile, do you like to go to live a hard life with him? Hu Lao was so angry that he saw Hu Zhu's pitiful face, and he couldn't be ruthless for a while, so he patiently persuaded him.

"Daddy, it's not what you say! He used all the money in his family to buy military books, and he was a man who aspired to be a general. Being poor now doesn't mean that he will continue to be poor in the future, pray for Daddy to fulfill us! Woohoo,,,"

In the face of feelings, no matter how strong and rigid a woman is, it will soften into a pond of water.

Hu Lao's outstretched slap was still withdrawn, he knew that his daughter would not change his mind easily.

This matter has to be discussed in the long run, and if Zhao Zijing does not agree to this marriage, then it will not be Hu Lao breaking the contract, and he will not have to bear any losses. As for Hu Zhu and that stinky boy, in Hu Lao's opinion, it is absolutely impossible, and he will not push his daughter into the fire pit.

"In that case, the matter will be put on hold for the time being. I'll talk to Brother Zhao in a few days and make plans again. But Zhu'er, let me tell you, what happened to you and that stinky boy, unless I die, will never be possible! ”

After Hu Lao finished speaking, he slammed the door and went out, leaving Hu Zhu alone still kneeling and crying.

Zhao Zijing and the others in the courtyard also discovered the abnormality in the house, and even saw Hu Lao coming out of the house angrily. Although Zhao Zijing felt a little strange in his heart, this was someone else's family matter, and he was already very ashamed to stay in someone else's house for a long time as a guest, so how could he touch his brows and meddle in things.

A few days later, after Bai Daoyi finished treating the patient in the morning, he was ready to pack up his things and leave for Huaiyin County.

"Brother Bai, why did you decide to go back so quickly? I still have a lot of questions for you! Zhao Zijing asked.

"After so many days, it's embarrassing to bother Hu Qifu. Besides, a few days ago, the guy in the pharmacy came to inform me that the county patients came to seek treatment, and the condition could not be delayed, so it was better to leave as soon as possible! Bai Daoyi said as he packed his package.

"Brother Bai, since this is the case, it is not good for me to stay in Hu's house for a long time. In a few days, I am also ready to set off, but the way to this is not clear, and the journey to the north has no clue so far, alas! Zhao Zijing lamented.

Mi Xin was overjoyed, it seems that his son-in-law has finally decided to leave!

Bai Daoyi's eyes lit up, took Zhao Zijing's hand, and said: "This is easy to solve, there is a northbound caravan in Huaiyin County, if you are interested, come with me to live in the county for a few days, and at the end of the month with the northbound caravan to the north, wouldn't it be better!" ”

Zhao Zijing also thinks that this method is good, and when the time comes, he will go to the county to find a map, and he is not afraid that he will get lost.

"It's very good, when Hu Lao comes back, I'll talk to him about it. Let's go together! Zhao Zijing said.

Bai Daoyi is happy to see it come to fruition, and it is a joy in life to be able to get along with a friend like Zhao Zijing for a long time. He was worried about how to separate from Zhao Zijing, but he didn't expect the two to hit it off, and it seems that it was fate!

So the three of them packed their bags one after another, ready to say goodbye to Hu Lao and go on the road!
