Chapter Seventy-One: Calling the Shots

Hui Ze accompanied Wei Xun back to the barracks, and Xu Jin also sent Yanran back home.

"Take good care of Yanran, I'll come to see her tomorrow." After handing over the drunk and unconscious Yanran to the maid at home, Xu Jin said softly.

"Hey, aren't you staying at home tonight?" The maid asked a little strangely, and looked for it, "Where is Master Huize?" You're not all together? ”

"Oh, we ...... There is still something in the army, Hui Ze will go back to the camp first, I will send Yanran back, and I will go back to the camp immediately. Xu Jin was not good at lying, and his tone seemed a little hectic.

The maid didn't care too much, but while lying down on the bed, she muttered a little complaint, "You guys are really, let the young lady get drunk like this, and you don't know how to take care of it." ”

Xu Jin didn't know how to explain, so he could only stand aside helplessly, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

The maid reached out to untie Yanran's belt, and suddenly remembered that Xu Jin was still on the side, so she turned around and frowned, "Aren't you going back to the camp, what are you still doing here?" ”

"Oh! Oh...... Yes, yes, then it's up to you, Hui Ze and I will come back tomorrow to see Yanran. Xu Jin hurriedly turned around and said goodbye.

When I returned to the barracks, I happened to meet Hui Ze who had just sent Wei Xun back. Hui Ze asked worriedly, "How is it?" Did Yanran wake up? ”

"How can it be so fast," Xu Jin replied, "there is a maid to take care of at home." ”

"Hey," Hui Ze touched Xu Jin with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Are you telling the truth today?" ”

"What did I say?" Xu Jin glared at Hui Ze.

"Yanran, about Yanran."

"What if it's true, what's not true." Xu Jin obviously didn't want to talk about it.

But Hui Ze didn't give up, and said with a serious face, "Jin, this matter is not a joke, but it is related to you, Yanran, and Wei Xun." ”

Xu Jin looked at Hui Ze's serious appearance, sighed, and then pulled Hui Ze to a relatively remote corner.

"Hui Ze, I like Yanran, but I regret saying it impulsively before."

"Why?" Hui Ze didn't understand.

"Yanran is the queen of the famous family, Miss Qianjin! What am I? A poor boy from a small family with nothing. How can I be worthy of someone else's beauty? ”

"According to what you say, then Wei Xun and Yan Ran are right, then they are suitable." Hui Ze deliberately stimulated Xu Jin.

"That's definitely not going to work!" Xu Jin said resolutely, "Yanran doesn't like him again!" ”

"Then do you know who Yanran likes?"

“……。 Hui Ze, good brother, I really don't know what to do now! ”

"Then I'm a monk, and I don't know what to do." Hui Ze said, "Why don't you ask Brother Chen, Brother Song, and Brother Yu." ”

"How can you ask about such a thing everywhere?" Xu Jin's face turned red, "Forget it, I'd better ask Brother Chen alone." ”

However, the banquet presided over by Zhu Yi lasted long enough. Because the prince was present, it was inconvenient for Chen Qingzhi to leave in advance. So when Chen Qingzhi finally returned to the barracks, it was already time to wear the stars and the moon.

But before he could enter the barracks, he saw a figure running towards him.

By the moonlight, Chen Qingzhi leaned over and looked carefully at the figure, and when he was still about seven or eight steps away, he finally saw the face of the person who came.

"Xu Jin? What are you doing in a hurry? Chen Qingzhi asked with a little doubt.

"Brother Chen, you're finally back." Xu Jin grinned, "I have something I want to ask Brother Chen for advice, so I'm waiting here." ”

"Hehe, then let's talk in the big tent."

"There are a lot of people in the camp, confidential matters, let's talk about them outside."

"Confidential?" Chen Qingzhi was even more puzzled, but he still agreed to Xu Jin's request, and said with a smile, "Okay, let's talk outside." ”

Under a big tree not far from the camp, Chen Qingzhi and Xu Jin stood opposite each other.

"Xu Jin, let's say, what kind of confidential matter?" Chen Qingzhi asked with a smile.

"Brother Chen, let me take the liberty to ask, are you married?"

"Of course we got married, and my sons are five years old." Although Chen Qingzhi felt strange, he still replied, "Why did you ask about this?" ”

"Ah, I'll just ask casually, what ...... That ......" Xu Jin squatted down and kept pulling the grass on the ground with his hands.

"Xu Jin, don't you want to get married?" Chen Qingzhi bowed down and asked.

"......" Xu Jin did not answer.

"What a good thing!" Chen Qingzhi also squatted down in front of Xu Jin, "Whose girl is it?" ”

“……”

"Then I guess......" Chen Qingzhi scratched his cheek with his fingers, "Is it Miss Yang Yanran?" ”

Xu Jin raised his head suddenly and looked at Chen Qingzhi in surprise, "Brother Chen, you are really like a god!" ”

"Hehe, it's not like a god," Chen Qingzhi clasped his hands and said calmly, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see it." ”

"Can you see it?" Xu Jin was obviously quite surprised.

Chen Qingzhi nodded and continued, "You and Miss Yang are in love, and you should also talk about ......marriage."

"Wait!" Xu Jin interrupted Chen Qingzhi's words, his eyes widened, "The two are happy, this can also be seen?" ”

Seeing Xu Jin's fuss, Chen Qingzhi also stared at him, and then nodded silently.

"Brother Chen, how do you know everything?" Xu Jin scratched his head vigorously, and then stood up suddenly, "Then I'll tell you everything!" ”

Then, Xu Jin told Chen Qingzhi in detail about Wei Xun's invitation to eat and drink.

"Now that the words are all said, do you still have anything to worry about?" Chen Qingzhi asked.

"After all, Yanran is from everyone's background, I don't think I'm worthy of other people's ......" Xu Jin buried his head and said in a low voice.

"I'm from a humble background; When Zhu Yi, a scholar in the court, leaned towards the government and the opposition, he was also from a poor family. Xu Jin, don't be presumptuous because of your background! ”

"I know, so I want to wait until I have more military achievements and make some fame...... Besides, I can't even get the bride price right now......"

"Okay, the next time you go to war, you make a meritorious service, I will definitely write to Your Majesty for your merits!" Chen Qingzhi said solemnly, "As for the bride price, I'll arrange it!" ”

"How's that going to work?" Xu Jin was anxious, "Brother Chen, I'm telling you this, I don't want you to prepare a bride price for me, I don't mean that!" ”

"I know," Chen Qingzhi patted Xu Jin on the shoulder, "It's rare that you call me Brother Chen, your parents are gone, the eldest brother is the father, and I will make the decision for you!" ”

Xu Jin just wanted to argue, but Chen Qingzhi preemptively said, "Xu Jin, you can tell me this, which shows your trust in me." You and Huize have been in the army for a few years, and I have already treated you like blood brothers, and I should definitely make decisions for you in this matter. ”

Without waiting for Xu Jin to speak, Chen Qingzhi continued to take care of himself, "Miss Yang's parents are also gone...... Now His Royal Highness King Ye is taking care of her, so His Royal Highness King Ye should be able to make decisions for her...... Yes! Tomorrow I will go and discuss this matter with King Ye! ”

"Brother Chen, wait!" Xu Jin said in a panic, "Didn't I say it, wait until you have made military merits and made some fame?" ”

"We can propose marriage first, and when we come back from the next battle, I will seek fame for you, and then we will get married." Chen Qingzhi had already ignored Xu Jin's reaction and said happily.
