He glanced at Liu Hongyu, Cai Yaozong, and Li Li, who had just come out: "I heard that you were bullied here?" ”

Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of the three people, Zhao Ruxi smiled and said, "Your junior sister and I are amazing, who can bully me?" A few adults aren't like that. ”

Listening to the last sentence, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Hongyu introduced Li Li and invited Wu Zong into the yamen.

Next, Wu Zong was on official business, listened to the reports of Liu Hongyu and others, and personally went to the surrounding areas to take a look and walk, and only after dinner did he go to Zhao's mansion and ask for peace to the Zhu family.

Zhu is over forty years old, ten years older than Wu Zong, and she also knows the female elders of the Wu Zong family, and she doesn't feel embarrassed when the two meet.

After talking for a while, Zhao Ruxi said: "Senior brother, you haven't seen the new house I bought, right?" Why don't I accompany you for a tour? ”

With her keen observational ability, she has not forgotten the unease that flashed on Wu Zong's face when she saw Wu Zong in the morning and mentioned Master and others. At this time, her gossip heart was burning, and she wanted to listen to the news of Wu Zong and Xiao Ruotong.

Wu Zong didn't have much to say to the Zhu family, and the purpose of his coming to Zhao's mansion was to talk to Zhao Ruxi. Zhao Ruxi's proposal is right in the middle.

He got up to say goodbye to the Zhu family, went out of the courtyard with Zhao Ruxi, and wandered around the Zhao Mansion with her.

"Little junior sister, this house is well placed, but can you live alone?" Wu Zong was surprised by the spaciousness of Zhao Ruxi's house.

"My mother bought it for me, saying that Master and Sister Ruotong had a place to live when they came. I asked Master to come and play, but I can't call him an old man's guest house, right? If it weren't for my father and my brother not being here, I would have stayed here when you came. ”

Speaking of this, she reproached: "You should have said hello to me in advance, and I can prepare a house for you." ”

Wu Zong waved his hand: "It's good that I live in a post station, I am busy with official business in the yamen, and I also found that there was nothing wrong in the past two days after seeing off the master, so I came here temporarily." I stayed for a short time and went back the day after tomorrow. ”

There are only two women in Zhao Ruxi's family now, she and the Zhu family, and Wu Zong naturally does not want to live in her house. He's going to stay in the inn tonight.

The inn has a specially arranged room for officials, and there are all kinds of people such as cooks, so it is convenient to live there. Just stay for two nights, and it's not so particular. In the past, Wu Zong went to the countryside to investigate the case, and he lived in a broken temple.

"Master, are they still having fun? You ...... Sister Ruotong" Speaking of this, Zhao Ruxi blinked his eyes wide, looked at Wu Zong and did not say any more.

"You." Wu Zong nodded at her with his finger void, "I said that you didn't get married yourself, why do you care so much?" ”

"Because you and Sister Ruotong are like my relatives, I care about you." Zhao Ruxi's small mouth is very sweet.

Wu Zong said helplessly: "Master, they had a lot of fun, and they made an appointment to come to see you and me in the autumn." As for the ...... of Qingyang County"

He looked at the sunset on the horizon, and his eyes gradually softened: "Don't worry, I have made an appointment with her, and when she goes back to ask for the consent of her family, I will send someone to propose marriage." ”

Zhao Ruxi's eyes widened.

That's too fast, isn't it?

Seeing that the little junior sister's eyes were round, as cute as a cat, which was diametrically opposed to the royal sister's demeanor shown in the yamen just now, Wu Zong laughed and couldn't help but pat her head: "What kind of expression are you?" ”

"Surprised, surprised and delighted." Zhao Ruxi pointed to his eyes, "Look at my sincere eyes." ”

Wu Zong looked over and met a pair of bright eyes full of gossip.

"Tell me quickly, senior brother, why did you want to change your mind?" Zhao Ruxi asked excitedly.

Wu Zong turned his face uncomfortably, looked at the lotus flowers in the pond and said: "Before I got married, I greatly admired the aura of the calligraphy of the lord of Qingyang County. Later, I met her by chance, when she was still young, but she had a temperament that matched my imagination of a calligrapher. At that time, I was crazy that if I could be accompanied by such a beautiful woman with both talents and looks in this life, my life would be complete. ”

"It's just that as soon as I had this idea, I saw a handsome young man talking to her, and the two were a good match. Immediately, the news came that she was married to the prince of England. I laughed at myself for my delusional thoughts, and when my family wanted to say goodbye to me, I let go of this feeling and agreed. ”

He glanced at Zhao Ruxi: "You also know what happened later." ”

Zhao Ruxi was puzzled: "But last time I said that Sister Ruotong wanted to tie the knot with you, why did you refuse?" ”

"I thought bad at the time, I always felt that she still had Wei Zheng in her heart, and she was only forced to find a suitable person to marry."

Speaking of this, Wu Zong laughed at himself: "You don't know, my deceased wife is pretending to be someone else's relationship with me in her heart, and she has been depressed after marriage. I'm afraid of this kind of kinship, even if it's someone I once admired who wants to marry me. ”

He sighed: "Maybe Senior Brother is too cowardly." ”

"How so? It is natural for people who have been injured to avoid the same injuries, which is an instinct for self-preservation. Zhao Ruxi comforted him and said, "Senior brother, you were too worried at the time, Sister Ruotong would have put that person down a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have considered family affairs." ”

"Well, this time she went to Linjiang to talk to me."

Wu Zong looked at Zhao Ruxi: "Thank you a lot for this." The county lord of Qingyang said that if it had been before, she would never mention this matter again, not only would she not mention it, but she would also avoid me. She has her own pride. ”

"It's just that you once told her that you don't have any regrets about being a man. Strive for what you want; Even if you can't get it, you won't have any regrets after working hard. She thought about it, and then took the opportunity to go to Linjiang Mansion and talked to me thoroughly. ”

"Did I ever say anything like that to her?" Zhao Ruxi was very confused.

She said too much to Xiao Ruotong, and she didn't know when she poured such chicken soup. Fortunately, Xiao Ruotong remembered it and took action to retain her own beautiful marriage.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter." She immediately waved her hand, raised a smile and waved at Wu Zong, "Congratulations, senior brother, you got what you wanted, and you got the beauty." ”

Wu Zong returned the salute: "Thank you, junior sister." If the family affair can be successful, the county lord and I will definitely give the little junior sister a big gift to thank the matchmaker. ”

"Haha, you just need to send me your favorite work, I just like that." Zhao Ruxi took the opportunity to knock on the bamboo.

"You think beautifully." Wu Zong glanced at her, "We'll send a big pig's head." ”

"Isn't it? Senior brother, you are a favor and will take revenge. Zhao Ruxi took a step back, his face full of horror.
