This discovery is very simple, Xiao Jingzhi prepared gifts for Zheng Liu and his wife, let Xiao Spot bring things up when the wine was hot, Chinese do not have the habit of opening gifts in person, Zhou Jinhuan did not take it seriously, she always felt that with Xiao Jingzhi's personality gift is absolutely no problem.

But in reality, this is not the case.

Xiao Jingzhi and Zheng Liu hit it off at first sight, and the two seemed to have endless words, and Zhou Jinhuan had just arrived in Shuozhou and were not familiar with each other, so Mrs. Zheng left Zhou Jinhuan very enthusiastically.

"General Xiao just came, it's not convenient to take Jinhuan to the barracks after all, although the general's mansion has been completed now, there are still some things that need to be organized, you estimate that you will have to stay in the barracks for a few days, let Jinhuan and me be my companion in the next few days, and take her to buy some things by the way." ”

It's hard to resist enthusiasm, not to mention that they already have such a mind.

Standing side by side with Mrs. Zheng at the gate of the State Pastoral Mansion, Xiao Jingzhi helped her straighten her collar, took her hand, and smiled at Mrs. Zheng: "Mrs. Zheng bothered Mrs. Zheng to take care of her." ”

"What is General Xiao talking about, I have a very good eye for Jinhuan, I can't help but be happy when I see her, she can come to accompany me, it's too late for me to be happy, what to say to take care of it, see outside." ”

In the face of the dog food of the two, Mrs. Zheng was not to be outdone, her little finger hooked Zheng Liu's palm, but he was on the road and held her hand tightly.

Ahem, ahem, this Mrs. Zheng's competitiveness is really not ordinarily strong.

"You also have to take good care of yourself, especially Cao and Fan, understand?" Zhou Jinhuan leaned into his ear, and Cao and Fan still had some heart palpitations when they said it.

This was the first time Xiao Jingzhi and Cao and Fan had met, and she was a little worried when she wasn't there.

"Rest assured. He patted her hand lightly and gave her a reassuring smile, and she nodded: in terms of his cultivation, Cao and Fan should not be his opponents, even if they are the head snakes, they can't play him.

As soon as Xiao Jingzhi left, she began to miss him.

Zheng Liu said a few words and went to the office, and only she and Mrs. Zheng were left in this Zheng mansion.

"Jin Huan, shall we go to North Street for a while?" Mrs. Zheng took her hand very affectionately, weighed the gift in her hand, and asked with a smile: "Jin Huan, I will open the gift now, you won't be unhappy, right?"

You're not happy to open it too, aren't you?

This Mrs. Zheng's temper is very direct, and she is also very considerate of other people's ideas, and she is a person who makes people feel happy.

The moment the gift was opened, Zhou Jinhuan's smile condensed on his face, and he couldn't squeeze out a smile.

"That, that, Jing Zhi may have confused the gift, hahaha......"

It was a very small dagger, studded with red gems, and when it was drawn out, it was very sharp and glittered in the sunlight.

She patted her forehead lightly with one hand, she was very depressed, and she reached out to take the dagger away, but Mrs. Zheng didn't let her: "What do you say, I think General Xiao still has a heart, I have been thinking about this dagger for a long time." ”

"Mrs. Zheng, you don't like it and don't care, we'll go to North Street in a while, just say what you like, I promise not to say anything. She only felt that Mrs. Zheng was playing a round for her, and she could make up for it as much as she could, but Mrs. Zheng didn't think so at all, and she didn't seem to pretend to be very happy: "Jin Huan, I really like this gift, I have liked dancing knives and sticks since I was a child, I wanted to buy this dagger for a long time, but I can't find it in Shuozhou, it is worthy of coming from Yecheng, such a red gem, such a sharp dagger, can only be found in Yecheng......"

From Zhou Jinhuan's point of view, Mrs. Zheng is definitely an outlier among women, she doesn't like rouge gouache, but likes cold weapons.

In other words, Xiao Jingzhi is really able to reach the sky, and even Mrs. Zheng's liking can be grasped so accurately, so she is even more worried about the situation of Cao and Fan.

"Thank you, thank you, to be honest, I really like this dagger so much, don't keep calling me 'Mrs. Zheng', I call you Jin Huan, you can call me Rujin." ”

Mrs. Zheng, no, Rujin patted her shoulder very heroically, and her round eyes became semi-circular when she smiled, which was very cute, and it was very inconsistent with her image of a weak beauty.

"Now, put this dagger away, and I'll go find some books in a few days and study them well. Handing the gift box to her little maid, Xiaoyu.

"That, Rujin, this dagger if you like. "From Mrs. Zheng to Rujin, it is a lot of progress for her, and naturally the biggest hero is Xiao Jingzhi's gift.

The two of them made a little preparation in the mansion and left the Zheng Mansion, along the way Rujin acted as a commentator, she was a native of Shuozhou, and she could tell that she was ugly about any object on the street.

There are a lot of snacks on North Street, and Zhou Jinhuan wrote down all the things he thought were delicious, thinking that when Xiao Jingzhi was free, the two of them would come to eat.

"Jin Huan, haven't you been to Xiao Mansion yet?"

"I live in Xiao Mansion, how can I not be in Xiao Mansion?"

She was thinking about eating snacks with Xiao Jingzhi, and she didn't realize Rujin's words at all, and such a reply made her laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"Of course I know that you lived in Xiao Mansion when you were in Yecheng, and the 'Xiao Mansion' I am talking about is the Xiao Mansion in Shuozhou, not the one in Yecheng, do you understand?"

It's embarrassing, but fortunately, she Zhou Jinhuan's face is thick enough: "It's your fault, if you make it clear, I won't be wrong." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll take our Mrs. Xiao to the Xiao Mansion in a while, okay?"

Zheng Liu is the state pastor of Shuozhou, so naturally everything will be taken care of, including the residence of the garrison general, and it is reasonable for Rujin to know.

Her curiosity about Xinxiao Mansion made her little interested in snacks, so she pulled Rujin to find it.

The location of Xinxiao Mansion is very good, it is in the center of Shuozhou City, which is equivalent to the current CBD central business district.

The vermilion gate, the stone lions on both sides of the door, the gilded door buckle, and the slightly quaint temperament of the door plaque are very low-key but not simple.

"See Mrs. Zheng. There were two guards at the door, and when they saw Rujin saluting, Rujin waved her hand lightly and pushed Zhou Jinhuan to the front: "This is your Mrs. Xiao, you will have to rely on her to support your family in the future, why don't you see you soon?"

The two guards were a little confused, they never thought that after waiting for so long, the first thing they would see would be Mrs. Xiao.

He saluted mechanically, only to hear a fluttering "Get up", and the person was already gone.

"What do you see, that Mrs. Xiao is not a good stubble. ”

One watched the emaciated guard kick the other hard, and the other seemed to be honest.

"No, I think Mrs. Xiao is very kind. ”

"How do you tell?"

"Then Mrs. Xiao is very good-looking. ”

The thin guard almost vomited blood: "Good-looking people are not kind, you look at that Mrs. Zheng is a good person, she knows how to dance knives and swords all day long, I really don't know what kind of life our state pastor has fallen into blood mold, there should only be one such woman in Shuozhou, why let him marry?"

"Then tell me, is it our Lord Zheng who is more pitiful or the newcomer General Xiao is more pitiful?"

"Of course it's General Xiao, but I heard that General Xiao is a famous beautiful man, and even Princess Changle likes it, and would rather be a concubine than marry into Xiao's mansion. ”

"Having said that, but General Xiao has two wives, but our state pastor only has one wife, so it seems that our state pastor is more pitiful?"

......

The two guards were fighting over which adult was more pitiful, and the two ladies in their mouths were hiding behind the door listening to the debate in front of them, looking at each other and laughing from time to time, although they were meeting for the first time, they really had a tacit understanding, and many words were silent.

"They're pretty boring too. Zhou Jinhuan finally raised his head, and Rujin also looked up: "I think the two of us are more boring." ”

The two walked towards the hall together very tacitly, the hall was very spacious, and there was no shortage of anything, very complete.

Then I went to a few other rooms, which can be said to be very satisfactory.

"Rujin, who prepared these, I like it very much. ”

Rujin smiled slightly, and her originally somewhat sickly face instantly climbed up with a bright color, which was very amazing.

I have been in another world for so long, and it is the first time I have met such a suitable "girlfriend", I am really glad that Zheng Liu and Xiao Jingzhi are in a cooperative relationship, otherwise she may not even have the opportunity to meet Rujin.

Here, the atmosphere between the two is very harmonious, but Xiao Jingzhi's side is indescribable.

Shuozhou, as the border city of the Great Zhao State and the Great Yan State, bears a lot of border defense pressure, and the number of garrisons is huge, which is both a challenge and an opportunity for Xiao Jingzhi, and what he is best at is turning challenges into opportunities and rising opportunities.

Xiao Jingzhi is a regular general sent by the imperial court, although Cao and Fan have ideas, but the face of the imperial court still has to be given.

They traveled a long way, and when they saw Xiao Jingzhi's alluring appearance, they were even more sneering, and by the way, they all had doubts about those legends about him.

"I have heard for a long time that General Fan Zhi likes ancient books, and I hope that General Fan can like this Wuliu autobiography. When Xiao Jingzhi handed the gift to Fan Zhi, he couldn't hide his joy, and his face was much softer than before.

Cao Ming was very displeased with Xiao Jingzhi, but seeing that he was very generous and decent, he couldn't help but look forward to his gift a little, but he didn't want Xiao Jingzhi to be completely unconcerned about himself, he just took a few East China Sea pearls and perfunctory, looking at Fan Zhi, who was still raising the corners of his mouth, the grievance in his heart was even more difficult to swallow, but he didn't have a seizure because of his face.

"General Xiao is going to check the soldiers' drills?" Fan Zhi and Cao Ming had worked together for many years, so they naturally knew his unhappiness, so they immediately proposed to let this new garrison general go to see the drills.

"Yes, the general will go and see. Cao Ming also echoed on the side, this Xiao Jingzhi doesn't look like the material for leading the troops to fight, it is better to let him go to the barracks first, it is best to scare him and save his hands from getting dirty.

"General, the emperor sent you here to improve their combat effectiveness, you might as well take a look. Zhang Zilang spoke, Cao and Fan saw him, although this person did not look as good as Xiao Jingzhi, but he was also good-looking.

But neither of them is fodder for war.

After looking at each other, the two came to a unified conclusion.

If this Xiao Jingzhi has no intention of seizing military power, he might as well let him go, first, to give face to the court, and second, although most of the scholars have a bad temper, they are easy to control.

They went to the military camp where they were training, and Cao and Fan came to explain from time to time, as if the two of them were people who didn't understand military affairs at all, and Xiao Jingzhi and Zhang Zilang were also happy to pretend to be fools.

After visiting the barracks, the four of them had dinner together in the big tent: spirits and barbecue.

After a few glasses of wine, Xiao Jingzhi's face changed slightly, the red caused by alcohol slowly climbed onto his fair face, and his breath was a little unsteady when he spoke, and from time to time he said a few words of complaint about the derogatory, which seemed to be unintentional.

Cao and Fan are both wine lovers, and they rarely get drunk, so they relaxed their vigilance after seeing that Xiao Jingzhi was different from the rumors this night, especially when Cao Ming even told the rumors about Mrs. Xiao.

This is not something too out of the ordinary, not to mention that Xiao Jingzhi has been lying on the table as if he was asleep because he was not strong enough to drink, but he never wanted to provoke Zhang Zilang's laughter, he also drank a lot, looked at Xiao Jingzhi who fell on the wine table, and said mysteriously: "Two generals, do you know why General Xiao is so afraid of Mrs. Xiao?"

"Tell me about it!"

"You are in Shuozhou, there are naturally some things you don't know, all say that our Mrs. Xiao is the adopted daughter of Lord Zhou Mingzhou, but few people know that she is the cousin of today's virtuous concubine, Mrs. Xiao is a relative of the emperor, and our General Xiao was just a petty official who didn't even have a rank...... Gurg...... I heard that it was because of Mrs. Xiao's kind words in front of the emperor that the emperor let General Xiao go to Xiangzhou, in fact, the emperor had already set a battle plan at that time, General Xiao just went through the motions, and sure enough, he returned with a big victory in the end, and successfully became Jing Zhaoyin, and after being promoted, the emperor ordered them to marry......"

This is said very explicitly, and the meaning is very clear: Xiao Jingzhi is a soft rice eater, can he not be afraid of the gold owner?

"If you want me to say, being able to eat soft rice is also a kind of ability, people can not only get the emperor's sister-in-law but also Princess Changle, I can't do it, just look at the face......"

Cao Ming really drank too much, and was interrupted by Fan Zhi, who was still Qingming, halfway through his words: "What nonsense, I see that you have drunk too much today!"

"The general is right, and General Xiao is not shy about this, ...... I've really drunk too much, I really can't accompany you anymore, I'll sleep for a while......"

The moment Zhang Zilang fell on the wine table, Fan Zhi rubbed his red eyes and tried to make himself clearer: "Come on, move the two generals to the big tent." ”

Several soldiers carried the two to the big tent, and as soon as they left, Xiao Jingzhi broke open his eyes, and there was a triumphant smile on the corner of his mouth.
