He said calmly: "I'm not familiar with you, you don't have to call me Brother Xiao."
Zhuo Zheng wanted to curl his lips, but he held back, "Then how should I call you?"
Xiao Hanzheng said: "I am the county magistrate of this county. You can call me Lord Xiao from now on."
Zhuo Zheng: “…” He’s just a small county magistrate, why is he putting on so much airs? He’s really annoying.
However, this is Xiao Hanzheng's territory, and he doesn't want to arouse Shi Qingluo's disgust.
So he smiled obediently, "Okay, Master Xiao."
Xiao Hanzheng discovered that although Zhuo Zheng was young, he was quite scheming.
Then he looked at Yue Lu again and was shocked.
He didn't show it on his face, "Who is this?"
Shi Qingluo knew her young husband very well, and she caught his momentary daze.
This means that the young master must have known Yue Lu in his previous life.
She smiled and said, "This is Xi Rong's friend Yue Lu, who also came to Heyang County from Beicheng."
Yue Lu was more tactful. He smiled and hugged Xiao Hanzheng, "Hello, Lord Xiao!"
Xiao Hanzheng nodded to Yue Lu, "Hello, Master Yue!"
Then Shi Qingluo introduced Taoist Changqing to Xiao Hanzheng, and they greeted each other.
Seeing many passers-by looking over here, Xiao Hanzheng said, "Let's go back to the yard and talk."
"good!"
The group went to the county government office, where the courtyard had been almost renovated.
At this moment, new tables and chairs have been placed in the living room.
Xiao Hanzheng brought the person in and told the maid to serve tea.
Everyone was tired after traveling all the way, so they drank a little tea and prepared to leave to rest.
Xi Rong still planned to stay in the inn, so naturally she took Yue Lu with her.
Taoist Priest Changqing was considered an honored guest, so Shi Qingluo arranged for him to stay in the newly renovated guest house at the county government office.
Zhuo Zheng smiled obediently and asked, "Sister, should I live in the hospital as well?"
Shi Qingluo shook his head, "You and I just met and we are not very familiar with each other. You have money with you, so you can go to the inn with Master Yue."
Zhuo Zheng: “…” This woman is so cruel. She actually let him stay in the inn.
If I had known earlier, I would have said that I wouldn’t be able to take my purse with me when I escaped.
He looked at Shi Qingluo pitifully and said, "Sister, I am afraid to stay in an inn alone. Please let me stay in the hospital. I will pay for the accommodation."
Shi Qingluo shook his head again, "This is inappropriate."
"There are quite a lot of people in the inn. Besides, Master Yue is also staying at the inn, so you are not alone."
She was not planning to keep Zhuo Zheng by her side. The county government had a complicated personnel structure and it would be easy for Zhuo Zheng to take advantage of loopholes.
Seeing that Shi Qingluo was quite determined, Zhuo Zheng could only force a smile and said, "Okay then."
Xiao Hanzheng was very efficient and asked the servant beside him to take Zhuo Zheng to the inn.
Xiao Hanzheng still had things to do, so he sent Shi Qingluo back to the yard. He held her down and kissed her before going back to the front to work.
Shi Qingluo discovered that the layout of the bedroom was very similar to that of the one they had in Xiaxi Village, and the furniture was all brand new.
There are also two toilets and bathrooms connected to the room. My husband is very thoughtful.
She took a shower, dried her hair and went to bed.
The carriage had been running all the way, and the road was particularly bumpy and difficult to travel on, so she was really tired.
She didn't know how long it had been, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Hanzheng half lying beside her, flipping through an account book.
Xiao Hanzheng saw his young wife wake up, put down the account book and looked at her tenderly, "Awake?"
Shi Qing sat up and saw that it was dark outside. "It's already so late!"
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
She has always been very alert, but she is used to having her young husband around, so she woke up without any preparation when he came in.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I couldn't bear to wake you up."
Shi Qingluo stretched and said, "I'm tired from the journey."
Shi Qingluo gave him a glare, "Now that you've started eating meat, you can't stop?"
The young husband has extraordinary energy.
Of course, she liked it.
Xiao Hanzheng put his head on her shoulder, "Of course, my wife is so beautiful and charming."
Shi Qingluo reached out and lifted his chin, "Tsk tsk, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
When it comes to sweet talk, he has a lot to offer.
Xiao Hanzheng leaned over and kissed her, "Then you taste it well."
Shi Qingluo could not resist the temptation of beauty and responded by hugging him.
When I woke up again, it was almost dawn.
Shi Qingluo felt weak all over and was very hungry.
She reached out and pinched Xiao Hanzheng's waist.
Xiao Hanzheng opened his eyes, chuckled and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Shi Qingluo said unhappily, "Nonsense, I haven't even had dinner yet."
Then it was eaten by someone several times.
Xiao Hanzheng stood up and lit the candle. "Shall I go make you a bowl of noodles?"
Shi Qingluo raised his eyebrows, "You can also cook noodles?"
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "Of course. When I was down and out, I had to make a living on my own, so I naturally had to cook."
“It just hasn’t moved yet.”
After he was reborn and woke up, he had his mother and sister cooking for him in Xiaxi Village, and he had cooks in the capital and here, so he had never been into the kitchen.
"Madam, would you like to try your husband's cooking?"
Shi Qingluo put on his outer robe and said, "Of course I have to try it."
"I'll go with you to the kitchen and watch you do it."
I feel warm and sweet in my heart. It is not easy for a man to be willing to cook for his wife in this era.
It turns out that her young husband is the best.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "Okay!"
After they washed up, Xiao Hanzheng took Shi Qingluo's hand and went to the kitchen.
It was still dark, so no one else in the yard had gotten up yet.
Xiao Hanzheng found the flour and started kneading the dough, while Shi Qingluo stood by and watched.
He seemed a little unfamiliar at first, but gradually he seemed to find the feeling and became more and more proficient.
She suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, do you know that Yue Lu?"
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "I've seen him before in Northern Xinjiang."
Shi Qingluo knew that he was talking about his previous life, "Do you know what his identity is?"
She then went on to talk about how Yue Lu and Xi Rong met.
Xiao Hanzheng had only felt strange before, wondering why Yue Lu would come back with Xi Rong, but after listening to this, he understood.
"When I first met him, he had crippled legs and was a military advisor to a bandit stronghold."
"At that time, I was in charge of suppressing bandits. Because of Yue Lu's strategy, we were deadlocked with that mountain stronghold for three months before we took it down."
"He is a talented person, but unfortunately he was killed by the boss when the stronghold was breached."
Otherwise, he admired this man at that time and wanted to recruit him for his own use.
However, the stronghold was breached, and the leader of the stronghold could not accept this fact. To vent his anger, he killed several other leaders and the military advisor Yue Lu.
Shi Qingluo was stunned for a moment, very surprised, "Ah, he used to hang out with bandits?"
Then she thought of what Xiao Hanzheng said, "You mean he has disabled legs?"
Does that mean that the incident with the carriage also happened in the previous life, but Xi Rong was not there at that time, so Yue Lu broke his leg.
