Xu Zhi said, "Then hurry up and invite Gu Ye over, and tell the kitchen to set the table quickly."

Xu Zhi's four head maids were all trained by Granny Lu. They were all very disciplined and quiet. Granny Lu had experienced a lot and knew that some girls, if they had a noisy maid by their side, or if their master was a little weak and the maid was a little headstrong, might do something that would cause them to regret for the rest of their lives. Therefore, these maids were all trained by Granny Lu from the moment they entered the Xu family. If any of them had any minor faults or thoughts, Granny Lu would nip them in the bud.

The four maids moved quickly. Xu Zhi tidied up her clothes and jewelry in the room. A hot breakfast was already set on the round table in the side hall. After waiting for a while in the side hall, Bai Guo led Zheng Boyuan over.

Zheng Boyuan wore a crimson robe with a slightly darker belt, and his hair was tied with a crown inlaid with a piece of warm jade. This outfit made him look even more elegant and refined.

Although the two had become husband and wife, they had not yet consummated their marriage, so Xu Zhi felt a little awkward meeting like this.

Zheng Boyuan, however, chuckled and said, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Xu Zhi felt her face getting hot and said, "If I, the bride, sleep in on my first day of marriage, people will laugh at me."

Zheng Boyuan said, "There are no elders in this family, and we make all the decisions ourselves. Can't we even have the idea of ​​sleeping in late?"

Xu Zhi said very seriously, "That's true, but we are the masters of this house. The servants will always be influenced by our behavior. You won't see it in a short time, but they will in the long run."

Zheng Boyuan smiled and said, "This inner courtyard is your domain. How you manage it from now on is entirely up to you."

Xu Zhi nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Brother Zheng, there's something I want to tell you."

Zheng Boyuan said, "We are now married, so please don't call me Brother Zheng anymore."

Xu Zhi thought for a moment, blushed, nodded, and said, "Husband."

Zheng Boyuan was surprised by Xu Zhi's poise and grace. He coughed lightly and said, "My wife, please speak freely."

Xu Zhi said, "I want to learn business from my third uncle."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Boyuan asked with some surprise, "Why do you want to learn how to do business?"

Xu Zhi said, "I don't want to stay in this backyard for the rest of my life. I want to do something meaningful so that when I'm old, I can look back on my life and feel that I haven't lived in vain because I did something meaningful. Husband, you men can fight on the battlefield to protect our country. I am a woman and I don't have that ability, but I can earn a lot of money and open many orphanages so that homeless elderly people and children can have a place to live and children who have lost their support can learn a skill so that they can have the ability to support themselves in the future."

Zheng Boyuan never expected his wife to have such thoughts. In fact, thinking about it, although Xu Rao was the magistrate of a county, he was able to personally lead the people of the county to defend Hexi County to the death. His mother-in-law, Zhang Zhaoci, was even more formidable. Not only did she treat many wounded and sick soldiers, but she also trained many military doctors. Now, most of the military doctors in the army have listened to Zhang Zhaoci's lectures back then.

With such parents around them, how could their children be mediocre?

Zheng Boyuan actually agreed with Xu Zhi's idea. He also felt that a person should always do something, so that when they are about to die, they can look back on their past life without regrets. That is what makes a life worth living.

Zheng Boyuan said, "My wife, I am so happy that you have such thoughts."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhi looked at Zheng Boyuan in surprise and said, "Are you supporting my idea?"

Zheng Boyuan nodded and said, "Yes, I support you."

Zheng Boyuan supports Xu Zhi because he believes that since Xu Zhi has such thoughts, her family must know and support them. Now, Zheng Boyuan and the Xu family are in the same boat. Even if he doesn't support Xu Zhi, does that mean he won't do these things? No.

Zheng Boyuan knew very well that after he married Xu Zhi, he didn't know where he would go next. After he left, he would have to entrust the family and his younger sister to Xu Zhi's care. Xu Zhi was not someone who acted without considering the consequences; she knew what she should and shouldn't do. Since that was the case, there was no need for him to be the bad guy.

Xu Zhi was surprised that she could persuade Zheng Boyuan so easily. She quickly handed him chopsticks and said, "Husband, please eat first."

When Zheng Boyuan saw Xu Zhi's somewhat obsequious smile, he felt that he knew too little about this girl. He used to think that this girl from the Xu family was dignified, composed, and methodical in everything she did. Now, Zheng Boyuan felt that there were still many sides of his wife that he had not yet seen.

After breakfast, Bai Guo and her men cleared away the dishes and chopsticks. Bai Ying came over and asked Xu Zhi whether to open the boxes and take out the dowry items now or wait a while.

Bai Ying asked the question in front of Zheng Boyuan. Xu Zhi looked at Zheng Boyuan, who said to her, "I may have to leave Hexi in a few days. My wife, I want you to take your sister back to the capital."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhi said gently, "Husband, now that I've married you, I'll naturally follow you wherever you go."

Zheng Boyuan did not expect Xu Zhi to respond to him like this, and said, "Whether it is the border or the southern frontier, they are both extremely difficult places. My wife, I really do not want to see you suffer with me."

Xu Zhi waved her hand and said, "Husband, this is something I thought about before I came here. No matter where you go, I will go with you. It would be best if we stayed in Hexi. No matter where we go, as long as the family can be together, I am not afraid of suffering a little."
