The wind is howling, and the cold is shining.

In the courtyard of Chu Ze's house, Lan Ruoyan, who had changed into a practice uniform, had a petite and lovely figure, and at this time there was a little more heroic spirit.

Holding a long lance that is nearly twice as tall as her, her body is like a swimming dragon, and every time she swings the lance, she pierces.

can bring a burst of sound that breaks the sky.

Ha!

A coquettish shout.

The long lance in his hand was handed out.

Shoot a wooden target directly through the heart.

And Chu Ze was sitting under the gazebo with a dull gaze at this time, his palms clapping unconsciously.

Originally, he thought that Lan Ruoyan's martial arts were dancing.

When he heard that the other party was going to dance to him, he was still full of joy.

But when Lan Ruoyan went to the backyard to change into practice clothes, and then brought a few maids who Chu Ze had never seen before, and came to the front yard with a complete set of things, Chu Ze was directly stunned.

Chu Ze also weighed the spear, and the weight of the hand was extremely heavy.

Just throwing it up, he couldn't hold it directly.

And in Lan Ruoyan's hands, it felt like she was playing as if she was nothing.

However, the chilling sound of breaking the air and the last stab of the lance clearly told Chu Ze that it was not that the spear was lighter.

It's that Lan Ruoyan herself is very strong

A twelve-year-old girl, Chu Ze has the feeling that if she beats herself, she can beat ten!

"Brother Chu Ze, how is my martial arts?"

When Chu Ze didn't come back to his senses for a while, after Lan Ruoyan put down the spear after receiving the supernatural powers, she ran towards Chu Ze with a somewhat hurried pace.

After changing into a practice uniform, her original double ponytail and long hair were tied behind her at this time.

And the cloud sideburns and the sea in front of the forehead are only a few strands left on the smooth forehead.

Delicate beads of sweat come out of the tip of the nose and when they come together, it looks like morning dew.

Originally, Chu Ze thought that she should be a shy and shy little Lori.

But after changing her outfit, Lan Ruoyan's whole person changed.

From temperament to character, it has changed.

Female man.

These three words almost subconsciously popped up from Chu Ze's mind.

"Okay, Wu is too good. You're simply amazing! ”

Facing Lan Ruoyan's smiling face, her eyes full of expectant inquiry, although Chu Ze was a little reluctant, he still squeezed out a smile.

"Do you really think so?"

For Chu Ze's praise, Lan Ruoyan's eyes were a little dazed.

"My eldest mother and second mother don't let me practice martial arts, I think I'm a girl, I should learn more female red, I want to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I don't like these things."

"My father didn't let me practice martial arts, saying that I practiced five big and three rough, and I couldn't get married in the future."

"Brother Chu Ze, do you really think that girls can actually practice martial arts?"

It can be heard from Lan Ruoyan's description that this girl is estimated to be wronged by this incident on weekdays.

And Chu Ze knew it when he looked at her big sparkling eyes.

If this girl is placed in the next generation, she may not be a King Kong Barbie.

The kind that breaks the ribs with a small fist

"Ahem.. For girls, practicing martial arts can not only strengthen the body, but also increase a person's courage and self-confidence. So I think it's actually quite good to practice martial arts. If you like to practice martial arts, you are not allowed to practice at home in the future, so you can come to me to practice. ”

"I've got your back."

"Really! You're so nice! ”

Lan Ruoyan, who was affirmed for her interests and hobbies for the first time, looked at Chu Ze again at this time, and her eyes were not as timid as they were at the beginning.

And Chu Ze looked at Lan Ruoyan's flushed face because of the martial arts practice, and he somehow had an urge to reach out and pinch it.

But then he swept his gaze and happened to see the target that had been pierced by her shot.

The solid wood is three fingers thick.

With his small body, he is estimated to be able to wear sugar gourds.

So as soon as this dangerous idea arose, Chu Ze hurriedly snuffed it out.

It's a dangerous idea.

"Actually, Ruoyan, have you ever thought about practicing marksmanship? I'm not talking about the lance you use, but the fire."

After the restlessness in his heart gradually subsided, Chu Ze looked thoughtfully at the servants who were cleaning up the target.

A question occurred to him.

Nowadays, because of the improvement of gunpowder and bullets, the musket is even changed to flintlock pistols.

Because the bullet has its own tail fin, it can reach the case of spin, and its accuracy and effective range have also reached a very considerable point.

Isn't it possible to start inverting snipers in this case?

Glass, although it is still a rare product in this era.

But if Chu Ze wants to get it out, it is still an extremely simple matter.

The musket was changed to a flintlock pistol with a scope

I can't say it, I can really get a sharpshooter or something.

Of course, if it is in an ideal state, what Chu Ze wants to see most is Lan Ruoyan holding Gatling

The kind that smokes blue fire!

Come to think of it, it's weird to be excited.

And when Chu Ze was thinking about it, Lan Ruoyan also scratched her cheeks in a bit of confusion.

"If it's a firebolt, my dad won't let me touch it. I practiced martial arts secretly when my father was in the court or out of the barracks."

"It's okay, I'll teach you how to use a firecrackle another day."

"Really?"

"Of course, your dad won't say anything."

"Brother Chu Ze, you're so good, that.. So when are we going to get married? My dad asked me to ask you to come, and I accidentally forgot about it. ”

"Ahem.."

It was supposed to be good, but suddenly the matter of marriage was mentioned again.

This sudden change almost didn't make Chu Ze bite his tongue.

He looked at Lan Ruoyan, who was blinking and her eyes were exceptionally clear.

For a while, there was a strong sense of guilt.

"Ruo Yan, although the marriage contract between our two families has been decided, but you are still too young now, when you grow up, let's discuss this matter, okay?"

"Until then. You just think of me as your brother. We'll talk about that later. ”

Chu Ze said, and didn't give Lan Ruoyan a chance to speak, he got up directly and called the egret.

"Prepare clothes and hot water for Miss, go take a shower first, and change your clothes."

"Yes, ma'am, please come with me!"

"Ahh Madame"

Regarding the egret's title of lady, Lan Ruoyan immediately lowered her head nervously, but... This time, she raised her head slightly and looked at Chu Ze.

It seemed to be to see how he reacted.

And after Chu Ze glanced at the egret with some blame, he got up slightly embarrassed and walked away.

Seeing this scene, Lan Ruoyan bit her lip and laughed.

The last one jumped and followed the egret to the backyard.

According to Lan Ruoyan, her father sent her to Chu Ze's side simply to increase the relationship between the two of them.

When it got late, he came back to pick up Lan Ruoyan.

Chu Ze originally had no doubts about this.

But as the sky gradually darkened, Chu Ze didn't wait for Lan Yu to come to the door.

This made Chu Ze mutter.

When the candlelight first came on, Chu Ze finally waited for the people of the Lanyu family.

However, it was not Lan Yu who came, but a servant of the Lan family.

After the other party dropped a letter at the porter, he rode away directly on a fast horse.

"O virtuous son-in-law! Uncle Yue received a secret order from His Majesty, and he may have been busy recently, so he has no time to pick up Ruoyan. Ruoyan will stay with you for the time being, and when I have time, I will come to pick her up. ”

"Now that you are married. Now that all Ying Tianfu knows, and he is not afraid of gossip, you should do your father-in-law a favor and help take care of her first, anyway, it will be a family in the future. ”

"Uncle Yue left a pen, you don't have to bother to send people back!"

When Chu Ze finished reading the letter sent by the Lan family's servant, he who was sitting in the hall put down the letter in his hand a little blankly.

Under the flickering lights, his eyes looked a little more vicissitudes.

"Good guy, Uncle Lan has to be you"

"Brother Chu Ze. What did my father say? ”

Lan Ruoyan, who was also waiting for her father to pick her up, was even ready to get up and leave after seeing Chu Ze finish reading the letter.

I just felt that after Chu Ze read the letter, his face was a little weird. That's why I can't help but ask more.

"Your father said. He hasn't had time to take care of you lately, so let you stay with me temporarily."

Originally, Chu Ze thought that if he said this, Lan Ruoyan would be unhappy or lost.

But what Chu Ze didn't expect was when he heard that she was going to live in Chu Ze's house temporarily.

Lan Ruoyan's face rose with a touch of joy.

The two little feet under the skirt actually began to swing unconsciously.

"Then can I stay here forever?"

"Well, you don't want to go home, do you?"

"I don't play at home, my eldest mother and my second mother let me learn female red every day, and Sanniang also let me learn cooking every day, either reading and playing the piano, or painting and embroidery. I don't like to stay at home. ”

"However, I don't have your daily necessities here."

"Master, General Lan has moved his wife's clothes and jewelry to the house today."

“.”

When they heard the spring equinox say this, Chu Zeren was directly stunned.

And what's going on?

"In addition to clothing and jewelry, there are other beds, furniture, target weapons for martial arts training, as well as some unfinished embroidered female red and paintings, guzheng, pipa and other items."

"We've cleaned up Madame's room."

"Feelings, he didn't plan to pick people up and take them home in the first place, did he? But why am I the last to know about this? ”

After hearing the report of the spring equinox, Chu Ze remembered at this time that when Lan Ruoyan wanted to show him martial arts practice before, she came to the backyard, then changed her clothes, and brought out a set of things.

Chu Ze doesn't have these things at home!

Especially Lan Ruoyan's clothes... She is small, and the Chu Ze family doesn't have clothes suitable for her to wear at all!

Okay

Is this a weaker and weaker ability to observe?

I'm still busy watching Lan Ruoyan play with a long lance..

"Brother Chu Ze.. Can I stay at your house? ”

Lan Ruoyan is at this age, to put it bluntly, she is just in the middle of the sensible and the ignorant.

She knows a few things about adults, but more often than not, she wants to be happy.

At this time, she didn't know what it meant that her father sent her to Chu Ze's house.

Once she really lives in Chu Ze's house, then she will be equivalent to having confirmed the identity of Mrs. Chu Ze.

In the future, if Chu Ze and her marriage contract fails, she will have no face to marry again.

Even if she was abandoned by Chu Ze, she would even live without a face.

At this time, all she could think of was that it was very comfortable to stay in Chu Ze's house, and Chu Ze was also very good to her, and praised her for her good martial arts, and taught her to use firearms.

In the year of ignorance, his simple eyes were full of excitement and happiness.

"The old lady has fallen asleep. Autumn frost and winter snow are watching over there. ”

As the night fell, the vernal equinox opened the door and walked in again.

After closing the door, as soon as I turned around, I saw the egret who was kneeling on the bed, helping Chu Ze press his back, and Xia Solstice who was helping to fan the fan on the side.

After moving lightly and coming to Chu Ze's side, she softly reported the situation next door to Chu Ze.

"Come on, everyone's been busy all day. Let's all get some rest."

Chu Ze heard that Lan Ruoyan had rested.

He also rolled over and leaned back on the bed silently.

Seeing this, the egret, who was originally kneeling on the edge of the bed, just wanted to get up, but she found that her hand was held by Chu Ze.

"Uncle Lan. You stop! ”

"Oops, hey, run, run"

In front of the palace gate, Chu Ze looked at Lan Yu, who had just walked out of the palace gate, and he got up directly and chased after him.

And Lan Yu, who was originally a general, when he saw Chu Ze, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he couldn't hide, and Lan Yu, who had just left the palace, actually plunged into the palace gate again.

The other courtiers who were traveling with each other, when they saw this scene, all had curiosity written in their eyes.

Which one is this pair of the Lan family?

It's okay to mess around in front of the palace, why do you still run around in the palace?

And when Chu Ze was chasing Lan Yu, the other group of people stared at his gradually distant figure with strange eyes.

"Hu Xiang.. This Chu Ze, what does he mean? ”

"It's hard to say, I can't take care of these things now, the top priority is to take care of the follow-up matters and prepare for His Majesty's liquidation."

"Let's go."

After Hu Weiyong instructed the people around him, he turned his head again to look at Chu Ze, who had disappeared after Lan Yu.

He originally asked Chu Ze to help communicate with King Qin and get Zhu Yong out of the edict.

But after such a long time, Zhu Yong didn't say any news, and along Zhu Yong's line, his people were swept away a lot.

This made Hu Weiyong suspicious of Chu Ze again.

Did this guy go on an errand?

And just as he was about to leave, another subordinate came up.

"Hu Xiang, recently, many envoys from small surrounding countries are about to arrive in the capital, should we also prepare?"

"A few small countries, can't you just handle it yourself in the Ministry of Rites, is it possible that I, the prime minister, will receive them in person?"

"Yes, yes, what Hu Xiang said, I was abrupt."
