Chapter 201: You're so sweet
Zhao Shi's martial arts are among the best in Dali Temple, the speed of the person out of the city slowed down, and when he was about to be overtaken, a lush forest appeared in front of him, and the man ran towards the woods with all his strength, wanting to escape under the cover of the trees.
Zhao Shi secretly screamed badly, turned his eyes, and saw a stone at his feet, so he raised his foot and kicked it over.
The stone hit the crook of the man's leg, and the man snorted, but did not stop, carrying Zhang Zhizhi into the forest quickly.
Zhao Shi hesitated for a moment to follow up with Lin Zhong.
The trees in the forest were lush, and the dense branches and leaves blocked the moonlight, and the vision was not very clear, but the man ran in the forest, alarming the birds resting in the forest all the way, and Zhao Shi also clenched and did not lose it.
The forest was overgrown with weeds, and it was even more difficult to run, and the man soon found that it was impossible to escape like this, so he stopped and put down Zhang Zhizhi, turned around and drew his knife to confront Zhao Shi.
"For this little girl to chase me all the way, you kid is also a little capable, so compare with me!"
The man raised his knife as he spoke, Zhao Shi did not panic, and drew his sword to meet it.
Swords clashed, bursting out of sparks in the cold and dim forest.
"It's kind of interesting!"
The man snorted in a low voice, raised his foot and kicked on Zhao Shi's waist, Zhao Shi had expected it, tensed his body, and was kicked back two steps, but he didn't feel pain, and immediately attacked with his sword.
Back and forth, weapons hit each other ping pong, Zhang Zhizhi woke up from the noise, tried to open his eyes, only saw two black shadows fighting around, and didn't recognize anyone at all.
The effect of the medicine has not dissipated, her body is still weak and weak, Zhang Zhizhi bit the tip of her tongue fiercely in pain, after tasting the smell of blood, her body barely had a little consciousness, she forced herself to get up, and while the two of them were not paying attention, she stumbled and ran towards the forest.
I don't know how long I ran, but my feet suddenly slipped.
"Ahh
Zhang Zhizhi exclaimed, and the whole person fell.
"Twigs?"
The man was distracted, Zhao Shi seized the opportunity to kick the man in the chest, the man was kicked to the ground, rolled a few times and leaned against a tree, but he didn't care about fighting back, his eyes scanned around, and found that Zhang Zhizhi was gone.
Zhao Shi didn't think so much, he stabbed the man with his sword, the man blocked it with his knife, and the sword stabbed into the trunk of the tree.
"What are you fighting, don't you look for someone soon!"
The person's tone changed too quickly, Zhao picked up suspicions, but he didn't dare to be careless, and still suppressed him with his sword: "Who did you just kidnap?" What is the intention? β
The man was stunned when he heard his words: "You don't know who I am captive and what I am chasing after me?" Sick? β
Zhao Shi's eyes lit up, and he pressed the sword against the man's neck, he had already moved the killing machine, the man pressed his elbow against Zhao Shi, and hurriedly explained: "Little brother, you are mistaken, this is a misunderstanding, we are acting." β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Shi was indifferent, and the man Nunu mouthed: "You know the Quartet Dart Bureau, I have a sign on my waist, which was given to me by their old dart master, let me help him test his prospective son-in-law!" β
The man said and unloaded his strength, first lost the knife in his hand, Zhao Shi was suspicious, and touched a wooden card from his waist, which was the dart order of the Quartet Bureau.
Zhao Shi frowned, and heard the sound of clattering horses' hooves from far and near.
"So, the person you just kidnapped is Zhang Zhizhi, the eldest lady of the Zhang family?"
"Not really! For the marriage of my good nephew, I have taken great pains. The man nodded and sighed, Zhao Hanzhuo had already arrived on horseback: "Has the person been saved?" β
Zhao Shi: "......"
My lord, there's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?
β¦β¦
When Zhang Zhizhi woke up, the sky was just dawning, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a large area of lush trees, and then the sleepiness subsided, and the pain on her body woke up, so painful that she almost screamed.
Last night, she was first stunned and carried out of the inn, and when she woke up halfway and saw two people fighting, she took the opportunity to escape, but she fell from nowhere and fainted again.
She struggled to sit up and looked around her, and found that the steep slope was a little high, and there were trees in the way, so that she did not fall too badly.
She moved her arms and legs, and found that her right calf was a little swollen, probably hurting her bones.
Although she has not followed the old man to walk south and north with her over the years, she has been fighting and brawling, and she still has some understanding of bruises, so she directly tore her skirt and fixed her calf with a branch, and found a wooden stick to use as a crutch.
Although she didn't know where she was now, she didn't worry too much, as long as her father found out that she was missing, he would definitely bring the brothers of the dart bureau to find her immediately.
So what she has to do now is to take good care of herself, don't let her injuries worsen, and wait for rescue.
The forest below was a little bigger, and as she walked, she tore off strips of cloth and tied them to the trees to mark them, and after walking long, she found a cave.
Woodcutters must have often come in the mountains to cut wood, and the cave was used as a temporary dwelling, with hay and a small pile of firewood.
Good luck!
Zhang Zhizhi thought in her heart, walked around the cave and found a fruit tree, but she injured her foot and couldn't climb too high, so she only picked a few small fruits to eat.
It didn't taste very good, but it barely quenched your thirst.
After eating a few wild fruits, Zhang Zhizhi and his clothes lay down on the grass pile in the cave to rest.
There was silence all around, she didn't feel scared, just because she was bored, and her thoughts kept diverging.
Compared to not marrying, if she suddenly dies in an accident, her father should be more sad, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhizhi's mind flashed with inspiration, if her leg was seriously injured and she was found back this time, would her father let her recuperate first, and then not rush to urge her to marry?
After this thought poured out, Zhang Zhizhi sat up suddenly, raised his hand to untie the strip of cloth on his feet, and was thinking about how to make the injuries on his feet look scary, but not really hurt his bones, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the cave.
Zhang Zhizhi subconsciously wanted to call someone, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that the person who came was not his own person, but the bad person, so he didn't rush to speak, took a stone and quietly hid at the entrance of the cave, patiently waiting for the footsteps to approach.
The sun is out today, and the shadow of the person in the future is elongated, and it looks extremely tall, Zhang Zhizhi can't tell who the person is, and his heart is pounding with nervousness.
Finally, the man walked into the cave, and Zhang Zhizhi held the stone high, and then he was stunned, almost flashing his waist.
"Lord Zhao?"
Zhang Zhizhi exclaimed, a little unable to believe his eyes, firstly, he didn't believe that Zhao Hanzhuo would appear here at this time, and secondly, the clothes on Zhao Hanzhuo's body were hooked by tree branches, and his hair was messy, which was really far from the image of Shaoqing of Dali Temple who was meticulous on weekdays.
Zhao Hanzhuo seemed to have not slept all night, his face was quite haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and after seeing Zhang Zhizhi, he stepped forward with an arrow and hugged her directly into his arms.
He hugged him so hard that Zhang Zhizhi's chest was pressed and stuffy, and he heard his strong and powerful heartbeat, and his eardrums buzzed when he was hit.
Zhang Zhizhi's face was hot, ashamed and annoyed, what's the matter with this person, don't you know if men and women can kiss or not?
"Lord Zhao, what are you doing, let go of me!"
Zhang Zhizhi reached out to break Zhao Hanzhuo's hand, but he was hugged tighter, and the man replied confidently: "Don't let go!" β
Zhang Zhizhi was so shocked that he couldn't speak, what do you mean by not letting go? Lord Zhao, are you blatantly playing hooligan, do you know?
Of course, Zhao Hanzhuo knew what he was doing, but he had been worried all night, and now he finally saw the person standing in front of him intact, where could he restrain this full of emotions?
When he promised the old man to let her go home, he thought about letting go, but she bumped into him again.
He impulsively belittled her, and promised to come to the door to propose marriage, but the old man still objected, and secretly arranged this trip to create an opportunity for her to get along with the young master of the Su family.
He originally thought that if she really had a relationship with the eldest young master of the Su family and was willing to marry the young master of the Su family, he would also be able to withdraw and silently wish her happiness, but he found her first.
It's only three things, where can he let her go again?
Thinking like this, Zhao Hanzhuo's eyes deepened, Zhang Zhizhi couldn't push him away, accidentally touched the injury on his calf, and immediately gasped exaggeratedly, shouting: "Ouch, it hurts!" β
This trick worked immediately, Zhao Hanzhuo immediately let go of Zhang Zhizhi and looked at it with concern: "Where is the injury?" β
Zhang Zhizhi took the opportunity to jump away immediately, but this time he was really injured, his face changed, and he jumped and fell on the haystack.
Zhao Hanzhuo strode over, squatted down in front of her, and grabbed the leg in her hand without saying anything.
"Zhao Hanzhuo, I warn you, don't mess around!"
Zhang Zhizhi's eyes widened and warned, her current image is not much better than Zhao Hanzhuo, her clothes are torn, there are a few abrasions on her face, and her hair is messy.
"I'll see if the injuries are serious." Zhao Hanzhuo said seriously, reaching out and rubbing her head: "Don't worry, I will be responsible." β
His expression was extremely gentle, Zhang Zhizhi was unconsciously bewitched, nodded sneeringly, and in a daze, Zhao Hanzhuo took off her shoes and lifted his trouser legs.
She was actually born white, she is not fat, she has practiced martial arts all year round, and her calves are beautiful and smooth, but she is swollen at this time, and she is covered with bruises, which looks quite scary.
Zhao Hanzhuo gently pinched her leg and stomach, and Zhang Zhizhi immediately came back to his senses: "It hurts, it hurts!" β
"It should be a broken bone, and I have to go back to the city for medical treatment as soon as possible."
Zhao Hanzhuo said that he was going to take off his robe to help her bandage it, and his eyes swept away, and he inadvertently saw scattered branches and strips of cloth on the ground in the cave.
The strip of cloth was the same color as her dress, and it was clear that she had torn it from her dress.
"Why did you untie the strips of cloth?"
Zhao Hanzhuo asked, Zhang Zhizhi had the illusion that he had made a mistake and was arrested, and his eyes dodged: "No...... It's nothing. β
After speaking, I was afraid that he would continue to ask, so I hurriedly put down my trouser legs: "Men and women don't kiss, I haven't left the cabinet yet, Lord Zhao, you can't ruin my reputation!" β
She looked like she was trying her best to dissociate herself from him, Zhao Hanzhuo lowered her eyes and glanced at her lap: "If you see it, you will see it, I said that I will be responsible." β
"Liar!" Zhang Zhizhi couldn't help but scold, remembering his previous promise, his eyes widened: "You said last time that you were going to my house to propose, obviously you were playing with me!" β
She said seriously, and it was clear that she didn't know about his door-to-door proposal.
Zhao Hanzhuo's heart moved slightly, and he didn't say anything about his proposal first, but said: "Last time I said that I proposed marriage, it was just my own idea, but I never got your permission, I am worried that coming to the door at will will cause you trouble." β
Hum! Excuse!
Zhang Zhizhi stiffened his neck and didn't speak, Zhao Hanzhuo asked: "I like you, if you come to the door to propose, can you agree?" β
He asked bluntly, and Zhang Zhizhi's face suddenly turned red.
This man is ...... It's so hateful, how can anyone directly ask the girl's family if she agrees?
"The words of the matchmaker of your parents, you ...... Why are you so unruly! β
Zhang Zhizhi stammered and reprimanded, and Zhao Hanzhuo directly buckled her chin, so that she couldn't dodge and look directly at him: "I want to marry you, the dowry has been prepared, are you willing to agree?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhang Zhizhi was speechless, and his heart was so flustered that he didn't know what to do.
Zhao Hanzhuo leaned over and got closer little by little, until the two of them snorted together, and each other's shadows were reflected in their pupils: "If you don't speak, I will treat it as if you agreed." β
What does it mean not to speak is to agree?
ββ¦β¦ Not! β
Zhang Zhizhi opened his mouth to refute, but was kissed by Zhao Hanzhuo.
Zhang Zhizhi's eyes widened in astonishment, he didn't expect him to dare to come for the second time, he was stunned for a moment, feeling that this person still wanted to pry her teeth open, Zhang Zhizhi immediately gritted his teeth to prevent him from succeeding.
Zhao Hanzhuo smiled in his eyes, retreated slightly, and Zhang Zhizhi immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
"Good."
Zhao Hanzhuo said appreciatively, and squatted down in front of Zhang Zhizhi: "Come up, I'll take you back." β
"I don't want it!"
Zhang Zhizhi covered his mouth and said that at this time, he had completely regarded Zhao Hanzhuo as a hooligan bastard and didn't want to get close at all.
Zhao Hanzhuo was not in a hurry, and sat down beside her: "It's okay if you don't want to go back so early, anyway, I have already asked Zhao Shi to go back to the city to call someone, and when everyone comes to see you and me staying in this cave, they should all know what our relationship is." β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhang Zhizhi twitched his brows, having the illusion of being targeted by an old fox.
"I'm not badly injured, I can walk back on my own."
"I'll carry you!"
Zhao Hanzhuo couldn't refuse, Zhang Zhizhi gritted his teeth, and finally chose to compromise: "Then let's go back to the city from the small road and don't let others see it." β
"Good!"
Zhao Hanzhuo agreed, and Zhang Zhizhi stared at him for a long time, making sure that he was not lying before lying on his back.
After lying on her stomach, she was shocked, she didn't expect this man's back to be so wide, and she could vaguely feel the hard texture through the clothes, which was almost the same as the back of her father and brother in her memory.
How can this civil official be so physically strong?
Zhang Zhizhi thought distractedly, there was no road in the mountains, and Zhao Hanzhuo shook her twice: "Hold me tight." β
Zhang Zhizhi subconsciously hugged him, and then his face burned again, because her chest was completely attached to his back.
What a shame!
Zhang Zhizhi was embarrassed, but at this time, it was not good to let Zhao Hanzhuo let her down.
After walking quietly for a while, Zhao Hanzhuo's breath was a little chaotic, and a steaming heat came out of his body.
"Are you tired? Would you like to take a break? β
Zhang Zhizhi asked in a low voice, a little embarrassed, she has a big skeleton, a little heavier than ordinary women, and it is naturally more difficult to carry it.
Zhao Hanzhuo shook his head: "You don't have to rest, you have to go back as soon as possible, otherwise it will be dark soon." β
"Oh."
Zhang Zhizhi responded weakly, it was not good to insist anymore, and he rolled up his sleeves to help him wipe his sweat.
"Are you scared when you fall alone?"
Zhao Hanzhuo talked to her, and Zhang Zhizhi shook his head: "Why are you afraid, my father and senior brother will come to me soon if they find out that I am missing." β
"You're the only one in this mountain, and you're not afraid?"
"There are wild fruits in the mountains to feed the stomach, and the mountains and forests are not deep, there will be no fierce beasts, at most there are some insects and snakes, and the left and right will not hurt their lives, and they are not terrible."
She said seriously, with a little smugness.
Zhao Hanzhuo's heart softened, and he was worried all night, but at this time it turned into a warm heart.
She is different from other girls and can cope with many things on her own.
She was not afraid of him, and she was chattering and jumping around him, like the sun, bright and warm.
"Zhizhi is very brave."
Zhao Hanzhuo praised from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Zhizhi was stunned suddenly, no one had ever praised her like this.
From the beginning when she planned to practice martial arts, everyone around her was against her, her father and brother were afraid that she would be hurt, the brothers and sisters were afraid that she was too manly, and others were talking all kinds of sarcastic things with the mentality of watching jokes.
Now, the first person praised her for her bravery, thought she was an ordinary woman, and asked her if she would be afraid.
This kind of care is very different from Su Heng's polite care.
Zhang Zhizhi's heart softened, and he was about to say something more, when Zhao Shi's surprised voice came: "My lord! β
Following the prestige, Zhang Zhizhi's whole person froze, her father, a group of senior brothers and a group of officials hurriedly came, and dozens of pairs of eyes saw her lying on Zhao Hanzhuo's body clearly.
Zhang Zhizhi's heart trembled.
Lord Zhao, didn't you promise that you wouldn't be seen? What is this?
Zhang Zhizhi's whole person is not good.
The old man walked in the wind, followed Zhao Shi and rushed to the two of them, and reached out to take Zhang Zhizhi over, Zhao Hanzhuo said in a low voice: "She is injured." β
"Where's the injury? How can it hurt? β
The old man raised his voice, his tone couldn't stop being anxious, Zhang Zhizhi didn't dare to face him, lying on Zhao Hanzhuo's back and pretending to be dead, Zhao Hanzhuo skillfully avoided the old man's hand: "It's not clear, let's go back to the city to find the doctor first." β
After finishing speaking, he walked forward with Zhang Zhizhi on his back, and a group of officials immediately rushed up eagerly, and the old man couldn't get close, so he had to purse his lips and follow behind.
All the way back to the city, the Chenzhou Prefecture came to greet him early, and directly welcomed Zhao Hanzhuo and Zhang Zhizhi to the mansion.
The old man couldn't bring so many dart masters into the mansion of the lord of the state capital, so he sent someone to report to Su Heng, and he followed him in.
The government doctor of the state capital waited for a long time, and after Zhao Hanzhuo entered the house, he directly put Zhang Zhizhi on the bed: "She has a leg injury, show her quickly." β
The government doctor quietly glanced at the state capital, and got the order to step forward to help Zhang Zhizhi see the injury.
The house doctor reached out to pick up Zhang Zhizhi's trouser leg, and the old man covered his lips and coughed lightly.
The state capital is a fine person, and he immediately reacted and said busily: "The girl is expensive, and the lower official will go out and wait." β
After the state government finished speaking, he left, but Zhao Hanzhuo sat on the edge of the bed motionless, the old man wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at him, and he didn't see it at all.
The house doctor didn't know the undercurrent surging between the two, and lifted Zhang Zhizhi's trouser leg, seeing that her calf was purple and swollen violently, and there was a large area of blood and stasis, his expression was slightly solemn: "Why is it injured like this?" β
"Serious?"
Zhao Hanzhuo's face changed slightly, his tone was heavy, and a coercion unconsciously dispersed, and the house doctor's beard trembled: "No, no, no, the old decay doesn't mean that, it's just that the girl's family is injured like this, and she should have suffered a big crime." β
"But you hurt your bones?"
The old man anxiously asked, he had been walking for many years and had not suffered any injuries, but when the injury fell on Zhang Zhizhi, he was so distressed that he couldn't do it.
"It's swollen like this, I'm afraid it's hurt, I can't move around at will these days, and I need to recuperate."
The house doctor touched his beard and said seriously, and then looked at it carefully, and then went outside to write a prescription and prescribe medicine.
The old man originally wanted to take Zhang Zhizhi away after the doctor finished reading it, but there was no way to joke with Zhang Zhizhi's leg at this time.
With something stuffed in his heart, the old man's face was not very good-looking, Zhang Zhizhi was uneasy all the way, and immediately confessed when he saw this: "Dad, I'm ...... My leg doesn't hurt much, so I'll go back to the inn with you." β
"Nonsense!"
"Nonsense!"
Zhao Hanzhuo and the old man spoke at the same time, their eyes intertwined in the air, and the old man took the lead in looking away: "You give me a rest first, I have a few words to say with Lord Zhao!" β
After the old man finished speaking, he walked out, Zhao Hanzhuo got up and was about to leave, but his arm was grabbed by Zhang Zhizhi: "What's wrong?" β
Zhao Hanzhuo sat back, Zhang Zhizhi wrinkled his little face and was anxious: "Don't talk nonsense in front of my father, you kiss ...... Don't say anything about kissing me, and ...... There is also a belly pocket......" Counting it carefully, Zhang Zhizhi suddenly found that she couldn't tell her father anything about her relationship with Zhao Hanzhuo, and her forehead was sweating urgently.
"I'm measured." Zhao Hanzhuo patted her on the head: "Lie down!" β
Coming out of the house, the subordinates of the state capital took Zhao Hanzhuo to the back garden, and the old man sat in the pavilion with his back straight, and the majesty that had just been restrained in front of Zhang Zhizhi was released.
Zhao Hanzhuo did not hesitate and walked straight over.
"Uncle."
Zhao Hanzhuo bowed his hand, using the number of courtesies from the juniors to the elders.
Since he coveted other people's daughters, the old man was not polite to him, and sat there and accepted this gift generously.
"Dali Temple is busy with official business, how could Lord Zhao appear in Chenzhou so coincidentally?"
"Your Majesty's imperial grace has granted me a few days of long vacation and allowed me to return to my hometown to worship my ancestors."
Returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, this name is exactly the same.
"Lord Zhao, as a dignified Shaoqing of Dali Temple, still has eyeliner in my small Zhang Mansion?" The old man's tone was heavy, with a little anger, Zhao Hanzhuo's face did not change: "I treat each other with sincerity, and I have never planted any eyeliner, and it is a coincidence that I will save the branches this time." β
Where is there any eyeliner, it is obvious that Zhang Yuntian sent someone to inform Zhao Hanzhuo.
The old man thought about what the problem was, he said that, he wanted to deceive Zhao Hanzhuo, to see if he would confess Zhang Yuntian, but he didn't expect him to speak so well.
"Lord Zhao, let me tell you the truth, you are young and promising, and your appearance is also outstanding, it is the branches that have climbed you, but the officialdom is complicated, you are in this position, and the person you want to marry should be a woman with exquisite faces, and the branches are reckless by nature, if she accidentally offends the powerful......"
"If someone threatens her career, I will choose her."
Zhao Hanzhuo rushed to answer, he answered so neatly and neatly, the old man choked unexpectedly, lifted his eyes to look at him, and sighed in his heart.
"I don't doubt what Lord Zhao said, but in life, there are many times when you can't help yourself, some time ago, Your Majesty was able to force you to personally execute your young son, kill your young son alive, and force you to do other things in the future, I just selfishly don't want Zhizhi to suffer an unjustified disaster because of you."
He's just a father who wants his daughter to be happy, and that's a normal request.
Zhao Hanzhuo could understand, because of the old man's words, he fell into silence.
The old man has been frank and upright in his life, and he is also a righteous person, and now he is actually very sad when he says such a thing to Zhao Hanzhuo for Zhang Zhizhi.
"Lord Zhao, you have been the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for so many years, you are an upright official, you judge the case fairly, Your Majesty relies on the love of the people, if there is no such thing, the old man also admires you very much, but the old man only has a daughter."
The implication is that admiration is admiration, but you can't marry your daughter to him because of admiration.
Zhao Hanzhuo nodded: "I understand my uncle's feelings, but no one knows what will happen to a person, and my uncle's marriage of Zhizhi to the young master of the Su family may not guarantee that she will have no worries in her life." β
"Lord Zhao......"
"Uncle, if you are really worried about Zhizhi's safety, after returning to Beijing, I will go to the Imperial Front to ask for a gold medal for Zhizhi to avoid death."
Zhao Hanzhuo directly enlarged the move, and the old man was shocked.
This is the gold medal for avoiding death in all dynasties, but only those who have made great contributions to Yuanzhao can have it, such as Lu Xiao, the protector of the country, who has been loyal and good for generations, and the holy family that was exchanged for the death and injury of many men in the An family, Zhang Zhizhi is now without merit and virtue, how can he have a gold medal for avoiding death?
"Lord Zhao, are you kidding?"
"I've always been serious."
The old man's words reminded Zhao Hanzhuo that he really couldn't predict the situation in the court and Yuanzhao in the future, and he couldn't be sure that he could protect Zhang Zhizhi foolproofly, if he wanted to marry her, he had to give her the best protection.
"Yuanzhao has a law, and the family members of important ministers can be given a gold medal to avoid death for special reasons, which cannot be lent to others, nor can it save the lives of others, but can only escort the person who is given, even the emperor's relatives and relatives cannot bully her."
No one is more familiar with the law of Yuanzhao than he is, and not a word of his words is false.
The old man felt that he had been greatly shaken, he thought that Zhao Hanzhuo was just a momentary idea, but he didn't expect him to think of such a far-reaching future.
Seeing that the old man's expression was a little shaken, Zhao Hanzhuo added weight again: "I can also ask Your Majesty to ask someone from the Internal Affairs Office to engrave words on the gold medal, I will not divorce my wife and concubine in the future, if I do anything to hurt Zhizhi, Zhizhi can use this order to abandon me and let me leave the house." β
A big man who voluntarily handed over the power of resignation to his wife, and was willing to leave the house! I'm afraid that the whole Yuanzhao won't be able to find a second one.
"You...... Think it through? β
The old man asked hesitantly, looking at Zhao Hanzhuo's eyes changed.
Zhao Hanzhuo nodded, his eyes firm: "Hmm." β
He hadn't thought about these things before today, but after talking to the old man, this thought took root in his heart.
He wants to marry her and give her the best care.
Whether he was by her side or not, no one could bully her and insult her.
Zhao Hanzhuo's words completely dispelled the old man's concerns, but he didn't agree immediately, only sighed and said: "The adult can do this step for Zhizhi, the old man really has nothing to find fault with, but she has been assertive since she was a child, and she still has to listen to her own details." β
"It's natural, and I won't force her to make any decisions against her will."
The two reached a consensus, and the old man let out a long breath, and the worries of this time finally dissipated.
Maybe the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and he, an old man who has half of his body buried in the soil, shouldn't care so much anymore.
Thinking about it, the old man walked back to the inn briskly, and as soon as he entered the door, Su Heng greeted him: "How is the branch?" β
"I have a little leg injury, I can't go down to the ground for a few days, and I live in the state capital."
"Oh, it's fine." Su Heng breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed: "Zhizhi can't walk, so I'll leave the two of you in the city to take care of her, and my uncle and I will go to Zhangxian County first?" β
In addition to delivering goods to Wenling, the most important thing for him to come to Beijing was to go to Zhangxian County to see the newly produced silk, and now he was delayed in Chenzhou for two days, and he was a little anxious in his heart.
But if he really has a heart for Zhang Zhizhi, why should he go to the state capital in person to see how she will mention leaving now.
With Zhao Hanzhuo as a comparison, Su Heng's reaction became more and more indifferent.
The old man looked at it quietly, didn't say anything, agreed to Su Heng's arrangement, and in the afternoon of the same day, the group got into a carriage and rushed to Zhangxian County.
They left, but Zhao Hanzhuo lived in the state capital because Zhang Zhizhi lived.
His reputation for being cold and indifferent when he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has long been publicized, and the people in the house still avoided him and didn't dare to talk to him more on the first day, but after getting along for a day, everyone found that he was not such an indifferent person, especially when he was with the little girl, he spoke softly.
On the second day, the state government held a banquet to invite Zhao Hanzhuo and Zhang Zhizhi to dinner, but Zhao Hanzhuo directly refused on the grounds that Zhang Zhizhi's legs and feet were inconvenient.
The girl's legs and feet are inconvenient, just send the food to the house to eat, Lord Zhao, why are you inconvenient?
The state government refused to give up, and Zhao Hanzhuo came directly: "I want to feed her, she won't eat without me." β
Someone who was lying on the bed and eating Ma Ma Xiang said: Lord Zhao, it turns out that behind your indifferent appearance, there is such a thick face hidden!
On the second day, the state government did not invite a meal and did not stop, and on the third day, I got a wheelchair out of nowhere and let people push Zhang Zhizhi around, Zhang Zhizhi was so novel, Zhao Hanzhuo couldn't find a new excuse for a while, and the banquet was decided.
However, that night, it was not only the family members of the state capital who came to the banquet, but also the wealthy gentry and family members who were famous in Chenzhou City.
Chenzhou has developed well in recent years, but there is still some distance from the imperial city.
is younger than Zhang Zhizhi, and is also cuter and softer than Zhang Zhizhi.
As soon as Zhang Zhizhi sat down in the banquet, he immediately smelled an unusual smell, subconsciously looked at Zhao Hanzhuo, and winked at him: Lord Zhao, your peach blossoms are here tonight!
Zhang Zhizhi is also used to joking with his brothers and sisters on weekdays, and he has not restrained himself when he is with Zhao Hanzhuo.
Originally, men and women were at different tables, and she sat with a group of female dependents, but she didn't expect Zhao Hanzhuo to walk over directly after receiving her gaze.
"I know you're not used to being separated from me, so sit with me and take care of you."
Zhao Hanzhuo's voice was very gentle, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, Zhang Zhizhi made a big red face, and just wanted to justify, Zhao Hanzhuo leaned into her ear and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll kiss you!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhang Zhizhi obediently closed his mouth.
Zhao Hanzhuo pushed her to the side of his position, and a table of rich gentry and the state capital, who were glamorous and ready to push the cup and change the lamp, set their eyes on Zhang Zhizhi.
Zhang Zhizhi felt a huge pressure, but Zhao Hanzhuo looked at ease, and personally served her a bowl of soup: "Drink it slowly, be careful of scalding." β
ββ¦β¦β
Lord Zhao, please be normal!
Zhang Zhizhi held the bowl and wailed in his heart, and someone couldn't help but ask: "Lord Zhao, who is this?" β
"My fiancΓ©e."
ββ¦β¦βοΌοΌ
Fortunately, Zhang Zhizhi was still puffing out his cheeks to blow the soup cold, otherwise he would have sprayed the soup on these people's faces.
"FiancΓ©e? Didn't ...... before I haven't heard that Lord Zhao has a marriage contract. β
"Well, it just decided."
Zhao Hanzhuo responded lightly, and put two chopsticks into Zhang Zhizhi's bowl, the questioner looked disappointed, and after a while, he saw Zhang Zhizhi sitting in a wheelchair, and asked without giving up: "I take the liberty of asking, is the girl's leg born or ......?"
The man asked cautiously, for fear of hurting Zhang Zhizhi's self-esteem, but Zhang Zhizhi didn't care after drinking the soup: "My leg, I accidentally injured it two days ago." β
"Could it be that Lord Zhao was injured?"
The man asked, a fire rising in his eyes, and he had already made up a poignant and twisted legendary drama.
Zhang Zhizhi was full of question marks, he didn't understand how this person could think like this, and heard someone on the table next to him whispering: "Wow, this cripple is so disgusting, he actually used this as a coercion to insist that Lord Zhao marry her, it's so scheming!" β
Crippled? Who are they talking about?
Zhang Zhizhi was puzzled, and Zhao Hanzhuo added a pastry made into the shape of a white rabbit and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Hmm!"
Zhang Zhizhi bit the pastry and couldn't speak, Zhao Hanzhuo raised his voice slightly and said to everyone: "My fiancΓ©e is not crippled, she just injured her calf, and when she heals, we will get married." β
ββ¦β¦βοΌοΌ
Lord Zhao, what are you talking nonsense? How did I not know there was such a thing?
Zhang Zhizhi still remembered Zhao Hanzhuo's threat just now, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he only pinched his arm vigorously under the table, this person didn't know whether he was not afraid of pain or had too strong endurance, but his face did not change at all.
Zhao Hanzhuo was not used to this kind of occasion, and during the whole banquet process, he only concentrated on feeding Zhang Zhizhi, and he didn't see others toasting him.
He himself felt nothing, Zhang Zhizhi couldn't help but feel ashamed of him, which was too offensive.
After the first two were ignored, the third person, Zhang Zhizhi, couldn't help it, took the wine glass for Zhao Hanzhuo and drank it all.
Although she hasn't drunk wine since she was a child, the amount of alcohol is absolutely passable.
"Girl, good drink!"
Everyone applauded for a while, found a breakthrough, and all came to Zhang Zhizhi to toast, obviously saluting her, but secretly wanting to have some friendship with Zhao Hanzhuo.
Zhao Hanzhuo didn't want Zhang Zhizhi to drink, but Zhang Zhizhi was exposed after two glasses of wine, and the two brothers hooked his neck and whispered in his ear: "It's too offensive for you not to drink on this occasion, I eat other people's houses, how can I give the state capital some thin noodles, I can drink, you don't care about me!" β
She lowered her voice, and every word fell into his ears and became gentle.
This is a specialty of Chenzhou, not strong, smelling a sweet smell, mixed with her whispering, making him lose his principles for a while.
Zhang Zhizhi's alcohol consumption was really good, and the ladies dispersed soon after eating, and the rich gentry at this table wanted to test how much Zhang Zhizhi had drunk, but they all stayed, but they were all drunk not long after.
Remembering the state government's feelings, Zhang Zhizhi didn't drink with the state government, and just left him to arrange for someone to send these rich gentry home.
Zhao Hanzhuo pushed Zhang Zhizhi back into the room, Zhang Zhizhi sat up straight in the wheelchair, and snorted with a smile in his mouth: "Zhao Hanzhuo, you see it, I'm amazing!" β
She drank so much that she didn't call him Lord Zhao anymore.
"It's amazing!"
Zhao Hanzhuo praised, she was a little dissatisfied, grabbed his hand and shook it: "You have to say that Zhizhi is very powerful!" β
Her face was attached to his hand, and Zhao Hanzhuo found that her face was very hot, and her eyes were foggy and confused.
"Drunk?"
Zhao Hanzhuo asked, Zhang Zhizhi burped and shook his head: "Not drunk!" Praise me for being great! β
Zhao Hanzhuo didn't boast, he came to her, the distance between the two was very close, she didn't dodge shyly like usual, looked at him directly, and asked stupidly for a while: "Zhao Hanzhuo, do you want to kiss me again?" β
Inexplicably, this time she called his full name, and her voice was like a hook, which tickled his heart.
"Hmm." Zhao Hanzhuo leaned closer: "Let me kiss it?" β
"Don't let it!"
She shook her head and covered her mouth with her hands, but her eyes were bent into a beautiful crescent moon: "You said you were going to my house to propose, but you can't kiss if you don't propose." β
"I mentioned it."
He said, rolling his Adam's apple up and down, as if he had smelled too much alcohol, and he was getting drunk.
"When did you mention it? How did I not know? β
"I went to mention it the next day after kissing you, and you were still sleeping lazy at that time."
Zhang Zhizhi was dazed, and carefully recalled: "It turned out to be that time, so I'...... Did my dad agree? β
"Your father said you agreed, and he agreed."
Zhang Zhizhi hiccuped again, frowning slightly: "If I agree, he agrees?" Why is my dad like this? How can you ask me directly whether I agree with this kind of thing? β
Her brow was twisted into a rope, as if she had encountered something very tricky.
The strength of the wine came up at this time, her face was burning red, her eyes were shining, her lips were ruddy and full, and her dizzy appearance was extremely seductive.
Zhao Hanzhuo suppressed the heat in his heart and asked for advice again: "Have you figured it out?" Let's kiss? β
"Only...... Only kiss it, don't stretch it...... Sticking out the tongue ......"
Before the words fell, Zhao Hanzhuo leaned over.
didn't follow her rules, plundered her breath with her will, and conquered the city.
Drunk, Zhang Zhizhi reacted very slowly, did not resist, and took it in a daze.
That's good!
Zhao Hanzhuo said something in his heart, kissing people to a very good time, and when he evacuated, he gasped more than her, more like a drunk person.
But this person didn't know it yet, and licked his lips stupidly: "Zhao Hanzhuo, you are so sweet." β
