Chapter 280: Putting on a Clothed Expedition
Zhang Xiaoqing has been waiting in the tea room next to the study.
From early morning to early morning, then morning, and then to afternoon, supper was delivered, then breakfast and lunch, and the door did not open until after four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Brother ...... Emperor"
Seeing the saint who came out first, Zhang Xiaoqing knew that the meeting that lasted for more than ten hours had ended.
"Very good," the saint nodded to the little eldest princess and said with a smile, "Your cooking skills are very good, and you have won the true inheritance of the queen mother." β
"Brother Huang likes it, I can make it for Brother Huang every day."
"Silly girl, no matter how good the meal is, you will get tired of eating it every day. In a few days, you have arranged the affairs of the family, remember to visit the queen mother. β
"I know that I will often go back to the palace to visit the queen mother."
The saint didn't say anything more, and left under the leadership of the inner chamberlain.
Subsequently, Xue Yuanzheng and others came out in turn to say goodbye to the little eldest princess.
Although she is already Bai Zhizhan's fiancΓ©e, her royal status has not changed, she is still the eldest princess, and she continues to enjoy the royal family's honor.
After all the guests left, Bai Zhizhan came out of the study.
"Tired, aren't you?"
Bai Zhizhan nodded, he was really a little unaccustomed to this new way of life, especially the sudden addition of someone around him.
In the past, the casual days when one person was full and the whole family was not hungry must be gone forever.
It's just that no one forced him to adapt to his new life right away.
"Why don't you go take a hot shower first and wait until I'm ready for dinner......"
"I'll go to the airport later."
"Got a mission?"
Bai Zhizhan sighed heavily and said, "The battle situation on the front line is stalemate, I have to go, and I will take a plane to leave tonight." β
"Okay, I'll go pack my bags first. Mom and Dad haven't left yet, so you can take the time to take a look. I don't know when I'll be able to come back. β
"I didn't pay the money for this change of mouth, so I called it first?"
"Go quickly, don't be poor!"
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqing was about to get angry, Bai Zhizhan smiled and didn't say anything more.
I used to make such jokes with a few iron buddies, and I couldn't change it for a while, but fortunately, Zhang Xiaoqing was very atmospheric and didn't take it to heart.
The two are just engaged, so strictly speaking, Zhang Xiaoqing should call Bai Zhizhan's parents "uncle" and "aunt", and only changed his words after the wedding.
is the same rule, Bai Zhizhan's parents live in the guest room of the East Courtyard.
Bai Zhizhan sat for a while, mainly to say hello to his parents, but he didn't have anything to say.
Although they are not paupers, Bai Zhizhan's parents are typical small citizens.
His father, Bai Zhenbang, was a shipyard worker, and his mother, Chen Xiuying, was a primary school teacher before she got married, and she became a full-time family household after having children.
To say that Bai Zhizhan was able to be admitted to the Imperial Naval Academy and chose the Navy that year, which has an inseparable relationship with his parents.
Living in the family courtyard of the shipyard since childhood, Bai Zhizhan came into contact with ships at a very young age. His mother's careful teaching was a guarantee for him to be admitted to the Navy Academy.
It's just that since he left home at the age of eighteen, Bai Zhizhan has been less and more away from his parents.
If you count it carefully, in the past 20 years, the time he spent going home to visit relatives probably didn't add up to 100 days.
Fortunately, Father Bai has always taught him that loyalty and filial piety are in dilemma, since he has chosen to be loyal to the country, it is understandable that he cannot be filial piety for his relatives.
After chatting until the evening, Zhang Xiaoqing brought the food over and a small pot of rice wine.
Rice wine is a genuine tribute sent from the palace.
This Zhang Xiaoqing is also smart, he didn't call Bai Zhizhan back, but came to the East Courtyard for dinner. took this opportunity to eat the New Year's dinner.
It was a little late, but the atmosphere was very nice.
For this daughter-in-law, the old couple is 10,000 satisfied.
Get married as soon as possible, add a son and a half daughter, and it will be complete.
It's just that the old couple didn't urge, after all, the royal family has to decide the big wedding, and the queen mother will definitely choose a good day and an auspicious day.
When he was about to finish eating, Jiang Haiyang rushed over.
This slightly deserted reunion dinner is over.
He drove over when he got a phone call.
In his words, he is about to become the personal driver of the horse master.
Liu Changxun sent him to pick up Bai Zhizhan, firstly, because he and Bai Zhizhan are iron buddies, and their personal relationship is extraordinary, and they will inevitably go to Bai Zhizhan's house often in the future; In addition, there are considerations of secrecy, after all, for a while, I can't find a more suitable driver than Zheng Jiangming.
Before getting in the car, the two prospective newcomers couldn't help but shudder.
"If you want me to say, you're free, go learn how to drive."
"Why are you learning this?"
"So as not to pick you up once and be stimulated once. I've been thinking that it must be the good feng shui of your ancestral tomb that made you choose such a big bargain. β
Bai Zhizhan was speechless, and Zheng Jiangming also started the car. After nodding politely to Zhang Xiaoqing, he drove away.
"You're not going to volunteer this time, are you?" Jokes are jokes, Zheng Jiangming knows the severity.
Even if they are still iron buddies, they are also intimate.
"What do you say?" Bai Zhizhan raised the window as he spoke. "If you're not in a hurry, drive slower and let me sleep more. Since yesterday, I have been busy until now, and my eyelids have not closed. β
"Okay, you can sleep in peace, anyway, if you don't go, the plane won't take off."
Bai Zhizhan didn't quarrel with Zheng Jiangming, after all, Zheng Jiangming was also powerful.
Seeing Bai Zhizhan close his eyes, Zheng Jiangming couldn't help but sigh.
Those who can work harder.
That's true.
In the evening, after being called by Liu Changxun, who had just returned to the Navy's busy headquarters, Zheng Jiangming learned that they had stayed up all night in Bai Zhizhan's new home.
Zheng Jiangming also went to the engagement ceremony yesterday, but he left consciously after the dinner.
If you want to say, in front of so many royal relatives and relatives, Zheng Jiangming, who participated as a relative and friend of the man, was more or less inferior.
To Zheng Jiangming's surprise, Liu Changxun actually arranged for Bai Zhizhan to go to the frontline troops to inspect the situation.
The first stop is Jedo.
It's too unkind!
Even if it's just an engagement, it's not a big wedding, but the secular movement has been going on for decades, and many young people have not been engaged, and they have already gotten along in private.
Besides, Bai Zhizhan is forty-two years old, and Zhang Xiaoqing is also thirty-two years old.
At the age of the two, if it drags on for a few more years, it will really be cold daylily.
At the engagement ceremony, everyone is most concerned about when to get married.
Some younger people are still speculating that the little eldest princess is likely to "marry her son", otherwise she would not have announced her engagement so suddenly.
Of course, Zheng Jiangming knew that Bai Zhizhan had never even held Zhang Xiaoqing's hand, let alone "get on the ship first and buy a ticket later".
But here's the key!
No matter what, Bai Zhizhan should be given a few days of marriage leave, so that he can practice his skills at home, and by the way, consolidate the relationship between husband and wife that has just been established and is not very solid.
Don't forget, the Liu family is still eyeing you behind.
Not to mention that this raw rice has not yet been cooked into mature rice, even if it is boiled in a paste, as long as it can climb to the royal family, the descendants of the Liu family who are not married will not care.
Where did I think, I was sent out the day after the engagement.
Even if there is a real fight, then there is no hurry in these few days!
It was precisely because of this that Zheng Jiangming also asked.
If it was proposed by Bai Zhizhan, then there was a problem with the relationship between the two of them, so they had to go to Liu Changxun to talk about it, it was the little eldest princess.
It's just that if you look at it now, it should be a different situation, at least Bai Zhizhan's reluctant appearance doesn't look like taking the initiative to ask for help.
