Chapter 186 How many stepfathers do you have, Xiaobailian(1/3)
In the huge bedroom, a faint fragrance of Anshen was burning. Zhong Zhen was lying on the bed. The doctor bent down and needled on his head. The thin silver needle was pierced on some acupoints on his head, and there was only a slight tingling sensation.
After the needle was put in, he waited, and the calm incense burned. After a moment, he fell asleep. The old doctor closed the door and came out to sit in the side hall. After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, he went in and put away the needles one by one. This time he went out quietly.
In the study room of Qingshan Courtyard of Prince An's Mansion, Chu Yunting was reading a book. The guard pushed the door and bowed, whispering: "Young Master, you have succeeded there, and the prince's people have not noticed it."
Chu Yunting nodded when he heard this, his eyes floating and moving: "Since that's the case, you must act steadily. Contact him every ten days without too often, so as not to be discovered."
"I understand."
Chu Yunting put down the book, lay on the couch, and looked at the roof with a faint gaze.
The person has succeeded. As long as you act according to the plan and make no mistakes, you can ensure that Zhong Zhenbian can't remember what happened before in the past few months.
How great would it be if he could never remember it for the rest of his life?
By then, he and Yu'er are already married. Even if they meet, they will be a success and no one can do anything about it.
But how easy is it to get married to Yu'er in the fastest time?
Forget it, take one step at a time. Anyway, people nowadays have already gotten in. How long can they last...
Zhong Zhenbian felt refreshed when he woke up early in the morning. He lit the Anshenxiang last night, and had a needle, so he slept very comfortably.
After putting on his clothes, he came out with a spear and had a half hour of fun. He returned to the house with sweat all over and washed up, and then started to use breakfast. He was not on duty today and wanted to go shopping on the street after using breakfast.
Some of my regular clothes are already a little old, so I went to buy a few more sets. There are also a few who were going to get married at the end of the year and have children. I wanted to leave them to the housekeeper to do it together, but since I was fine today and I was quite relaxed, I just went out for a walk.
After breakfast, my subordinates discussed patroling the city and changing defenses. This delay was another morning. By the time I went out, I had already finished lunch.
The sun shines on the ground warmly, and there is no cold wind today. There are many people going out to shop. There are stalls on the street, children play, and the lively scenes make people feel comfortable.
He actually likes to go out for a walk when he is not on duty. After all, he is alone and feels his mind is always empty all day long, as if something is missing. It will be very uncomfortable if he stays alone in the house. Walking on the street, people will feel better.
Since he came back from the border, he has been asking the doctor to take medicine, but it has not been a slight result for nearly a year. While he is impatient, he is also numb. He knows that the things he has forgotten are very important, but he just can't remember them. This anxious pain accompanied him day and night. If it weren't for the busy official business, he really doesn't know how he would survive this day and day...
After walking around the street, he planned to go to the gold shop to buy some gold jade and other things. Before he could reach the door of the gold shop, he heard a sharp voice in front of him shouting: "Little thief, don't run away, stop for me!"
The crowd suddenly became an uproar, and two young thieves from afar were running quickly in front of them, passing through an alley, and rushed in like a monkey. The woman behind who was chasing her and wearing men's clothes looked familiar no matter how she looked...
He frowned, took a big leap, and rushed to the woman in a few steps, flew out like a sword, and ran into the alley.
The two thieves in front were definitely accustomed to stealing, and they were not weak in their legs and feet. Zhong Zhen did not carry a weapon in his hand, and he couldn't catch the two of them after running for a while. He had no choice but to pick up the two stones on the ground and smashed them out!
"ah!"
Two stones flew out one after another and only hit one person's head. The man immediately hugged his head and rolled to the ground. Seeing this, the other person ran faster, and ran away in a few seconds.
Zhong Zhenbian ran over quickly, twisted the thief who fell to the ground and pulled it up from the ground, preparing to escort the patrol soldiers, the woman in men's clothing came after her breathlessly.
The men's bun on her head was almost broken by running all the way. She gasped, stood in front of them with her hands on her back, pointing at them, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Zhong Zhenbian looked at her lightly, then looked at the thief in his hand, and said nothing, and was about to leave with his feet raised.
But at this time the woman in front of her shouted: "Hey, don't rush to send him away. This thief stole my wallet!"
Zhong Zhenbian glanced at her faintly, with a blank expression on his face: "The wallet is on that one, and now people can't catch up even if they run away."
The woman in front of her snorted coldly when she heard this, her eyes squinted to him: "After all, she is a fourth-rank Wuwei general, but she can't even catch up with a thief. Don't you have a false reputation?"
Zhong Zhen moved his eyebrows slightly and said nothing. He twisted the thief in his hand and walked out of the alley. After a while, he handed it to the soldiers patrolling the city and asked them to escort the government.
But after taking two steps, he found a tail behind him. He turned around and looked indifferently at the woman in men's clothes: "Will the Ninth Princess take people out of the palace today, or leave the palace privately?"
This woman dressed in a man is the youngest daughter of the Ninth Princess of the Gods. She is the most lively and cute in the palace on weekdays, most favored by the emperor, but also the most naughty.
When the Lord of the Ninth Middle School heard this, Zhong Zhen asked her, and his eyes rolled around twice, "Of course I brought people out! But I wanted to catch the thief by myself, so I didn't let them follow me. Why? If you don't take the time today, do you still have to take care of my princess's business?"
Zhong Zhenbian naturally didn't want to care, but after looking around the street several times, he didn't find the person who secretly protected the princess, so he frowned and stepped forward: "There are all kinds of fish and dragons in the downtown area. It's not safe for the princess to leave the palace alone. It's better to ask Weichen to send you back to the palace, so as not to know that you will be punished again."
When the Ninth Princess heard this, she glared at him fiercely and stepped back hard: "By Zhong Zhen, you are not on duty today. Don't you care about this princess's affairs. Can't you pretend that you didn't see me? I went out of the palace today to have a happy time. Can you not let me down here?"
Zhong Zhenbian frowned when he heard this. How could he not see it? She is the emperor's favorite princess. If something happens to him in his jurisdiction, even if he is not on duty, he will not be strict in supervision and will not be able to escape any matter!
Thinking of it, he took a step forward and said with a cold face: "I offended you!" He immediately grabbed the ninth princess' wrist and dragged it away hard.
"Zhong Zhenbian, you are so brave. You dare to touch this princess! You don't want to live anymore, don't you want your head anymore, don't you? Let me go quickly, I don't want to go back!"
No matter what she said, no matter how loud she shouted, no matter how many people watched, she would take her to the rest point of the patrol battalion after a while.
The subordinates of the life found a carriage as fast as possible, and he personally stuffed her into the carriage and drove to the palace.
The Ninth Princess was so angry that she finally found an opportunity to leave the palace and take a walk around. Who knew that she had met this nosy person and could not play it now!
My father knew that he would definitely scold him! Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and lifted the curtain, and kicked the side of Zhong Zhen who was driving in front of him!
But she didn't expect that she kicked her with all her strength. The person was still sitting in the car as stable as Mount Tai, and she didn't even move. Instead, she looked back at her eyes and condensed: "Ninth Princess, I advise you not to work hard, and you should go back to the palace honestly."
"Border Zhong Zhen! Stop the carriage quickly and let me go, otherwise you will be chopped down or believe it!"
"Did you hear that you are just a fourth-rank official? I am a royal family. You dare to offend me! I just call my father and I will exile you!"
"Border Zhong Zhen, have you heard me speak?"
The Ninth Princess was furious and shouted in the carriage regardless of her image. She was so angry that she picked up the curtain and waved her fists, then slammed her back. Zhong Zhenbian just thought she was tickling her and didn't care at all.
The Ninth Princess was furious. The body of the people in front of her was as hard as a stone. Her fist hit someone's back, not only did she not hurt her, but her hand hurt slightly!
She pouted in anger, stared at the boss with her eyes wide open, and threw off the curtains and leaned in the car to stop tossing.
After about two quarters of an hour, the carriage slowly stopped.
Zhong Zhen picked up the curtain and looked at the Ninth Princess who was staring at him with an angry face inside, like an enemy who had been staring at his life for several lifetimes, and lowered her head slightly: "Princess, please get out of the car."
"Hmph! You dare to ruin my good things, wait for me!"
The Ninth Princess was so angry that she got off the carriage and saw him standing next to her. She stretched out her hand and pushed him away fiercely. But she just took a step back and didn't even have a crooked figure. She was so angry that she stamped her feet.
Zhong Zhen followed her footsteps and watched her enter the palace all the way, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
The Ninth Princess who walked into the palace looked at the closed door of the palace, and the nanny who lived in the palace was also waiting at the gate with panic. When she saw her coming in, she immediately knelt down a large area, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
"Princess, are you back? The Emperor said, if you don't come back, you will drag all the slaves out and chop them up. You will be pitiful to the poor slaves, go and apologize to the Emperor!"
The ninth princess pouted, and looked at the aunt in charge kneeling on the ground and couldn't bear it. She stepped forward to help her, "Auntie, you are old, don't kneel down like those little kids at any time. Don't cry. I'll go to apologize to my father now, and I won't make trouble again. Will it happen?"
"The princess is so good, go now. If you go too late, the emperor will be even more angry..."
When the Ninth Princess heard this, she sighed long and drooped her head. The opportunity she finally found today was destroyed by the border of Zhong Zhen. I want to leave the palace next time, I don’t know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month, so I must not spare that guy!
Zhong Zhenbing left the palace and sent the carriage back to the patrol camp. Then he went back to buy things, bought what he needed, and sat in the teahouse on the street for a while. He heard a few old men chatting there for a while before he got up and returned to the mansion.
Zhong Chuchu has been waiting here for nearly two hours. She has been sitting in the mansion for the whole afternoon, waiting hard. As the sky is getting dark, the people she is waiting for come back. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is ecstatic on her face. She can't stop her smile. Looking at Zhong Zhenbian immediately stepped forward and saluted: "I have met my second brother!"
When Zhong Zhen saw her, a shadow flashed across his eyes, and his expression was faint. He carried the thing past her without stopping at all. He walked into the room and put down the thing, poured himself a glass of warm water and drank two sips. Then he turned around and looked at her smile: "What's wrong with Chuchu today?"
"Can't you come and see your second brother if you're fine?"
Zhong Chuchu smiled and stepped forward, stood beside him, raised her chin slightly and looked up at him, looking at the things he was carrying, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, you went out to buy things, what were you buying? I looked like I had clothes... But last time, didn't I just make a few clothes for you? Is it already worn out?"
Zhong Zhen sat down and signaled her to sit opposite her: "I'm not on duty today. I thought that in a few days, I would go and buy some gifts for my subordinates' families. By the way, didn't you ask you to study the things from the girl's house at home? Why did you have time to run out?"
Zhong Chuchu pouted when she heard this, and looked at his cold look and felt a little uncomfortable. Besides, she had made several sets of winter clothes for him last time, but she had never seen him wear them once.
When I went out today, I actually bought it myself. I would rather pay to buy it than wear what she made? She didn't see the painstaking efforts at all!
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. My head lowered my head and my eyes were already a little red, but I didn't dare to let Zhong Zhen see it. I just turned my eyes slightly and said softly: "I learn those female reds every day, butler, etiquette, etc. My head hurts so much that I learned, so I wanted to come out to have some breath. I thought you were not on duty today, we went to the suburbs of the city to run, who knew that I had been waiting for you for a long time before I came back..."
As she talked, she felt more and more aggrieved. In the past, when she was on the frontier, she wore men's clothes like a tomboy and could still run behind him, but now she returned to the capital, and she was different from men and women, so she could not even meet too often.
He didn't know what was going on. Now he didn't even want to give him a smile. Every time he met, he had to find a way to tell him, otherwise he would ignore others. When would this kind of day come? I want to go back to the frontier more, at least I can still wear men's clothes and sing with him on horseback.
Zhong Zhen moved his eyebrows slightly, took out all the things he bought, looked at them again, and then put the clothes in the cabinet.
He turned around and looked at Zhong Chuchu, who looked down with his avatar, and had no special feeling. He just said, "Next time, it's cold in the winter, and the wind is too strong. After all, you are a girl's house. If you can't stand it and get cold, your adoptive father will feel distressed again."
"Will you feel distressed?" As soon as this sentence was spoken, Zhong Chuchu instantly bit her lower lip. She felt that she was crazy, really crazy! How could she say such unreserved words?
It was obvious that he had left at a glance and was satisfied, but why was he unwilling to give up? Why did he have to think about saying more to him and looking at him more?
Now, you're saying the wrong thing. Now he will think that you are a woman who is not reserved and frivolous, and he will not like you in the future because of this sentence!
Are you happy now, are you satisfied?
Zhong Chuchu lowered her head, and the tears could not be controlled, and they fell down.
Her words did make Zhong Zhenbian feel a little embarrassed. She stood there and didn't know what to do. Seeing that she was so embarrassed that she actually started crying, she sighed, sat in the seat just now, and gently tapped the table and said, "Look at what you said? After all, you are my sister. If you have any illness, I will naturally feel distressed. Stop crying. I have never seen you so cute in the past. Why do you become like those delicate daughters when you go back to the capital?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Chuchu hurriedly took out a veil to wipe her tears, but she still didn't dare to look up at him. It was too embarrassing and sad, but he just said that he would feel sorry for him because he was his sister... His words really made people think of him and would not stay.
But didn't he say that too? He doesn't like cute and crying women, so he still appreciates the tomboy-like self before, right?
Thinking of taking a deep breath, I looked at him with a pair of red eyes, barely touching the corner of my lips: "Then you haven't said yet, why don't you wear the clothes I made for you last time? Why do you have to buy them outside? Am I not doing it well? Isn't it satisfactory?"
Zhong Zhenbian smiled helplessly and knew what she was thinking, so he kept avoiding suspicion and deliberately avoiding her, but now he really couldn't hide. Seeing her red eyes and wanting to cry, he sighed heavily: "You did it yourself, I was afraid that I would wear it, so I put it there without moving. It's not that you thought you were not doing it well."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Chuchu smiled, "I made clothes for you to wear. If you don't wear them, isn't that a loss to my heart?"
"Then I'll wear it next time..."
"It's getting dark and I'm hungry, so I'll just eat here with you tonight. I'll cook for you in person."
As she said that, she got up and went to the kitchen. He didn't even have the chance to stop him. She had already run out and shook her head helplessly. Even if she didn't take the time for duty next time, don't stay in the mansion, so as not to be like this...
The Western Army Camp has been on holiday once every ten days. The men in the army have been practicing for a long time, and suddenly they have a vacation. They feel that they have no place to exude their anger.
To be continued...
