"I believe you have that ability. But great things don't just talk about it. To work on it little by little, how many years do you plan to achieve this goal? Three years? Five years? Or ten years?

You said that you have to achieve your goals to be worthy of Xiaohua, but do you want Xiaohua to wait? Three years of not achieving let him be three years, five years of not achieving let her wait five years? Is that fair to her?"

In fact, although Zhu Youzhen was a little surprised that Zhang Erhu had such a goal, he didn't think it was impossible to achieve. Even though Feng Wolf Juxu is the highest honor of all military generals since the Western Han Dynasty, it will definitely be realized because of his arrival.

But what about time?

You just don't have to go through it step by step, no matter how strong the country is, the soldiers have to go through it step by step, right?

Regarding Zhu Youzhen's question, Zhang Erhu was silent.

He didn't know.

"Let's go back and talk to your mom and dad. I won't force you. Go for it."

Zhu Youzhen doesn't plan to care.

No matter how you say it, this is also a matter between young couples, as long as people are happy, even if they are the emperor, they can't say anything.

At dinner, Zhu Youzhen told Zhou Yufeng about the matter, which caused her extreme dissatisfaction.

"So, Zhang Erhu's plan is to start a business first and start a family?"

"Listen to that."

"Hooray, that's it?"

"What do I do about this? You can't stop him from serving in the army, right?"

"This makes Little Flower miserable. If it's okay for three or two years, but I'm going to stay outside for ten or eight years, what can I do with this little flower? Fighting outside, the sword has no eyes, if a person has three long and two short, how can Xiaohua live......

As he spoke, tears were about to fall.

Women are inherently sensual. In addition, for this sister with a rough background, Zhou Yufeng loves it from the bottom of her heart. When she thinks about what she may face in the future, she feels very distressed.

"That's it! What are you crying about? You don't know men, Erhu wants to marry Xiaohua home in a beautiful way after making a contribution. It's not that you have other ideas, why are you in a hurry?"

"But Xue Pinggui also said so when he went out on the expedition back then, and as a result, Wang Baochuan worked hard to guard the cold kiln for eighteen years, but he became the queen of eighteen days. I'm afraid of Xiaohua ......" Zhou Yufeng still couldn't hold back, and tears fell down her eyes.

"I think you've read too much. There are so many Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan in this world!?" Seeing Zhou Yufeng like this, Zhu Youzhen also put down his chopsticks and comforted helplessly.

"Otherwise, tomorrow you can call Xiaohua to the palace, talk to her first, and see what she thinks about this matter."

Due to Zhou Yufeng's poor mood, the meal was neither salty nor light. After dinner, he took care of government affairs for a while, played with the children for a while, and then went to bed to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaohua, who had just come out of the stall with her mother, met the eunuch who came to pick her up.

After Li Xiaohua told Li Dingguo to help his mother work well, he got on the sedan chair.

As soon as she left on her front foot, Zhang Erhu came over.

"Where's your sister?" Zhang Erhu asked Li Dingguo with a smile.

"I don't know." Li Dingguo turned his head away from him.

After Li Zhao greeted the guests, he saw him and glared at Li Dingguo.

"Xiaohua was called to the palace by the queen's mother."

"Oh."

Zhang Erhu stopped talking and continued to work.

It is said to be work, but in fact, it is to put together the bowls that the guests have eaten.

On the other end, the sedan chair carrying Li Xiaohua came all the way to Kunning Palace, and saw Zhou Yufeng, who didn't sleep well for her at night.

"I've seen the Queen." Li Xiaohua smiled and saluted Zhou Yufeng.

Zhou Yufeng stepped forward to support her, and sat down holding her slightly cool little hand.

"Is it cold outside? Are you tired of setting up a stall with your mother? Has anyone bullied you?"

Feeling the queen's concern, Li Xiaohua shook her head with a smile.

"That's good. I was going to let you go out and start a small business

I'm afraid that you won't be used to staying in the palace, who knew that business would be so good. I heard His Majesty say that you now have to wrap zongzi every day until the second half of the night. It's really not good, find a shop, recruit two guys, and open a store! It also saves the stall outside in the winter, which is cold in winter and hot in summer."

"We're fine now. Besides, we won't do anything else, how can we open a shop that only sells zongzi. My mother said that Rujing should graduate in three years, and now save more money to get him a daughter-in-law and buy a yard."

How many times has Zhou Yufeng said this, but Li Xiaohua's answers are all very different.

"Well, don't get tired anyway." Zhou Yufeng sighed, and then changed the conversation. "Have you seen the two tigers in the past two days?"

"Nope." At the mention of Zhang Erhu, Li Xiaohua became a little cramped again.

Seeing Li Xiaohua's appearance, Zhou Yufeng sighed silently in her heart. It seems that these two people are interested in Lang You's concubine, but this is the problem. If Li Xiaohua doesn't have any feelings for Zhang Erhu, then she doesn't care whether Zhang Erhu goes to Tiannan or Dibei, and when he leaves, she will tell Li Xiaohua a good mother-in-law. But at the moment, it's unlikely.

If I knew this, I wouldn't have ignored them in the first place!

"It's time for the second tiger to graduate after the New Year, right?" Zhou Yufeng thought about the wording.

"Yes."

"Did he tell you about his plans for the future?"

"No... Nope."

"If it's him, if he's ready to marry you after he's become famous, what do you think?"

As soon as Zhou Yufeng's words came out, the faint shy smile on Zhang Xiaohua's face immediately froze.

"I—I don't know."

Zhang Xiaohua began to speak incoherently.

Although she is not very old, she is also old enough to get married. There was an endless stream of neighbors coming to the door to say goodbye, but they were all rejected by Li Zhao. said that his daughter was going to marry a student of the Royal Military Academy in the future.

And the nobles who know the inside story know the twists and turns inside.

knew that the little flower picked up by the emperor would most likely marry the poor boy who was favored by the emperor by his shit luck in the future.

As for Li Xiaohua, she also slowly overlapped the shadow of her future husband with Zhang Erhu.

A few days ago, Zhu Youzhen made fun of his words, so that she didn't fall asleep for several days.

When her sweetheart returned from school to marry her, she imagined countless possibilities, but she didn't expect the queen to tell her.

She knew something had to happen, because the queen, who had never discussed such a thing with her, would never be without purpose.

She panicked.

Possibilities come to mind again.

Did Zhang Erhu change his mind?

Or is there a daughter who has taken a fancy to this military cadet who is about to ascend to the sky?

Thinking about it, Li Xiaohua's tears fell down.

"Xiaohua, don't cry, don't cry, it's not what you think. I'm just asking." To be honest, Zhou Yufeng is really not a good hand at comforting people, seeing Li Xiaohua shed tears, she herself didn't know what to say.

Not what I thought it would be?

It seems that this is the case.

Li Xiaohua was completely desperate.
