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

Seeing the embarrassed expressions on the three people's faces, Zhao Ruxi smiled and said: "Your junior sister, I am very powerful. Who can bully me? Several adults are not like that."

After hearing 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 went about business. He listened to the reports from Liu Hongyu and others, and went to the surrounding areas in person to see and walk around. After dinner, he arrived at the Zhao Mansion to pay regards to Mr. Zhu.

Zhu is over forty years old and ten years older than Wu Zong. She also knows the female elders of Wu Zong's family, so they don't feel awkward when they meet.

After talking for a while, Zhao Ruxi said: "Brother, you haven't seen the new house I bought, have you? How about I accompany you to visit it?"

She has a keen sense of observation, but she has not forgotten that when she saw Wu Zong in the morning and mentioned the master and others, Wu Zong's face flashed with discomfort. At this time, her heart of gossip was burning, and she wanted to make insinuations.

Here’s the news about Wu Zong and Xiao Ruotong.

Wu Zong didn't have much to say to the Zhu family. The purpose of his coming to the Zhao Mansion was to talk to Zhao Ruxi. Zhao Ruxi's proposal was exactly what he wanted.

He stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Zhu, and walked out of the courtyard with Zhao Ruxi, wandering around the Zhao mansion with her.

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

"My mother bought it for me and said to Master, if Sister Tong and the others come here, they will have a place to stay. I asked Master to come to play, but I can't ask him to stay in an inn, right? If my father and my brother weren't here, Senior Brother, you are here

I also want to have guests."

At this point, she scolded: "You should have said hello to me in advance so that I could prepare a house for you."

Wu Zong waved his hand: "It's good for me to live in the inn. My yamen is busy with official duties. After I saw off my master, I found that there was nothing much to do in the past two days, so I came here on the spur of the moment. I didn't stay for a short time and went back the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Ruxi's family now only has two women, she and Zhu, so Wu Zong naturally can't live in her house. He plans to stay at the inn tonight.

The post station has a room specially designed for officials, with cooks and other servants all provided, so it is convenient to live there. It is only a two-night stay, and there is not much fuss. In the past, Wu Zong went to the countryside to investigate cases and stayed in ruined temples.

"Master, are they having fun? You and Sister Ruotong..." At this point, Zhao Ruxi blinked her big eyes and looked at Wu Zong without saying any more.

"You." Wu Zong tapped her in the air with his finger, "I said you haven't even gotten married yet, why are you worrying so much?"

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

Wu Zong said helplessly: "Master and the others had a great time, and they also agreed to come visit you and me in the autumn. As for the head of Qingyang County..."

He looked at the setting sun on the horizon, his eyes gradually softening: "Don't worry, I have made an appointment with her. When she goes back and gets the consent of her family, I will send someone to propose marriage."

Zhao Ruxi's eyes widened.

Isn't this too fast?

Seeing that the little junior sister's eyes were wide open and she was as cute as a cat, which was completely opposite to the royal sister's demeanor she showed in the Yamen just now, Wu Zong laughed and couldn't help but pat her head: "What are you talking about?"

expression?"

"Surprise, surprise and joy." Zhao Ruxi pointed to her eyes, "Look at my sincere eyes."

Wu Zong looked over and met a pair of shining eyes with the word "Bagua" written all over them.

"Come on, tell me, senior brother, why did you want to change your mind?" Zhao Ruxi asked excitedly.

Wu Zong turned his head uncomfortably, looked at the lotus in the pond and said: "Before I got married, I admired the aura of Qingyang County Lord's calligraphy. Later, I met her once by chance. At that time, she was 20 years old

He was still young, but his temperament was outstanding, which was very consistent with the calligraphy writer I imagined. At that time, I thought wildly that if I could have such a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty in my life, my life would be complete."

"Just when I had this idea, I saw a handsome young man talking to her. The two of them were a perfect match for each other. Soon there was news that she was engaged to the British prince. I laughed at myself for my wishful thinking. At that time, my family wanted to arrange a marriage for me.

I put aside my feelings and agreed."

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

Zhao Ruxi was confused: "But last time I said Sister Ruotong wanted to marry you, why did you refuse?"

"I thought wrong at the time. I always felt that she was still pretending to be Wei Zheng in her heart, and she was just trying to find a suitable person to get married because of pressure from her family."

Speaking of this, Wu Zong laughed at himself: "You don't know, my late wife pretended to be married to someone else, and she has been depressed after the marriage. I am afraid of this kind of marriage, even if the person who wants to marry me is someone I once married.

The same is true for those who admire you."

He sighed: "Maybe senior brother is too cowardly."

"How could it be? People who have been injured will naturally avoid the same injury. This is the instinct of self-protection." Zhao Ruxi comforted him, "Senior brother, you were overly worried at the time. Sister Ruotong had already put that person down.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t consider getting married.”

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

Wu Zong looked at Zhao Ruxi: "I have to thank you for this. The head of Qingyang County said that if it were in the past, she would never mention this matter again if she was rejected. Not only would she not mention it, she would also avoid me.

.She has her own pride.”

"It's just that you once told her that you shouldn't have any regrets in life. If you want something, try your best to get it; even if you don't get it, you will have no regrets if you work hard. She thought about it and decided to go to Linjiang Mansion.

I had a chance to talk to Che."

"Have I ever said such a thing to her?" Zhao Ruxi was confused.

She had said too many things to Xiao Ruotong, and she didn't know when she was fed such chicken soup. Fortunately, Xiao Ruotong remembered it and took action to preserve her beautiful marriage.

"Forget it, it's not important." She immediately waved her hand, raised a smile and bowed to Wu Zong, "Congratulations, senior brother, you got what you wanted, and you've got a beautiful woman in your arms."

Wu Zong returned the gift: "Thank you so much, Junior Sister. If the marriage can come true, the Qingyang County Master and I will definitely give Junior Sister a big gift to thank the matchmaker."

"Haha, all you need to do is give me your favorite work. I only like that one." Zhao Ruxi took the opportunity to knock on the bamboo stick.

"You have a good idea." Wu Zong glanced at her sideways, "We will give you a big pig's head."
