"I'm sorry! I'm engaged!"
Gao Zhijun once again used this excuse to get away with it and shut love out of the relationship.
Maybe she is a little cold-blooded and doesn't know what is good for her. In order to live a better life, she chooses freedom and gives up love.
Isn’t there an old saying: Life is precious, but love is more precious. If it is for freedom, both can be abandoned.
"It's okay. It's my fault. I apologize for causing you trouble just now. I won't do it again. You are my sister."
Huo Jinqian suppressed his bitterness and pretended to be nonchalant. He had confessed his love twice, but both times ended in failure.
At this moment, Huo Jinqian's heart was broken. It turned out that he had been wishful thinking all along. How could the other party fall in love with him when she was already engaged?
Since we can't be together, let's be brother and sister.
As long as she is happy, I will be happy too.
“It’s okay, I didn’t take it to heart.
You are very good, and you will definitely meet a good girl in the future, and you will live a happy life."
Gao Zhijun cleared her throat awkwardly and said.
In fact, when it comes to love, she is like a blank sheet of paper.
Faced with such an embarrassing situation, she didn't know how to answer and could only chat awkwardly.
"Okay, I will find a good wife. I hope my sister and brother-in-law will love each other and grow old together!"
Huo Jinqian blessed them with a smile.
However, his smile was uglier than crying, but Gao Zhijun couldn't see it.
Brother-in-law? What the hell? She didn't even know what the man she imagined looked like. How could they possibly love each other and grow old together?
No matter how hard you try, you have to make up excuses and lie to cover it up: "Don't worry, we have a great relationship and will grow old together."
"I'm going out, you stay here."
Gao Zhijun decided to end this awkward conversation, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to make up for it.
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. She finally realized it.
"I'd better go with you. It's natural for a brother to protect his sister.
Or, what you just said was just an excuse to put me off."
Huo Jinqian was afraid that something might happen to her, so he insisted on following her.
Forget it, if he wants to follow, let him follow.
I can't be too pretentious, otherwise, it will become just as he said, and I will just lie to him with big words.
"Okay, follow me if you want."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she went to find Manager Tong to borrow a carriage.
After borrowing the carriage, both of them were in a dilemma because neither of them knew how to drive a carriage.
Huo Jinqian had never driven a horse-drawn carriage. On the road to escape famine, the people who drove ox-drawn carts were either Jinzhou or Jinting.
Gao Zhijun had never driven a carriage. In her previous life, she had only driven cars, airplanes, and yachts.
The original owner was born in the countryside and had never driven a horse carriage.
Although she had never driven a horse-drawn carriage, Gao Zhijun felt that she could do it well. After all, she could drive airplanes and yachts, which were so difficult to drive. It didn't make sense that she couldn't drive a horse-drawn carriage. Isn't that just driving a horse?
Huo Jinqian disagreed. How could a man of his stature let a woman sit outside in public and drive a carriage?
From this we can see that Huo Jinqian is still a bit chauvinistic.
The final result was that Huo Jinqian drove the carriage and Gao Zhijun sat in the carriage.
The city gate of Liangzhou.
Because of the heavy rain that lasted for a whole day and night, the greenhouse was leaking everywhere, leaving many refugees wet in the rain, and some of them caught a cold.
The family members brought the patients to the city gate, hoping that the officers and soldiers guarding the gate would let them into the city to see a doctor, but they were stopped outside.
When the family members saw that the officers and soldiers refused to let them in, they gathered around and argued.
At a tense moment, Magistrate Chu, his legal advisor, Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian arrived one after another.
"what happen?"
Magistrate Chu got off the carriage and asked angrily.
"Sir, these unruly people are causing trouble here, and we are here to maintain order."
An officer was startled and quickly explained.
"Sir, this is unfair! Our family member is sick and needs to go in to see a doctor. They refused to let us in, saying they had to ask the sir first before letting us in."
"That's right, our relatives have caught a cold and need to see a doctor."
"Sir, please let us in to see a doctor. My mother has a high fever and won't go away. If she doesn't take medicine to reduce the fever, she will die."
"Please let us in to see a doctor!"
When the refugees saw the prefect, they begged him to let them in to see a doctor, and they almost cried.
Governor Chu looked at the expressions of the patients opposite him, all of whom looked sick and now had to stand outside in the rain, and he immediately became furious.
“This is how you do things. Didn’t I tell you to be polite to the people and try to meet their needs?
Did you guys take my advice to heart?"
"Sir, we know we were wrong. Please forgive me this time."
The officers and soldiers kowtowed to Magistrate Chu and begged for mercy.
This officer was the one who took Gao Zhijun and the others to Tongfu Inn.
Gao Zhijun also arrived at this time and looked at the prefect Chu in front of her. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a sturdy body, handsome features, a kind face, and a sonorous and powerful voice.
She heard everything he said just now. From his tone, she could tell that he was a good official who loved the people like his own children and cared about them. Perhaps he would believe what she was about to say and would not embarrass her.
"I greet the prefect. I know a little bit about medicine and can treat them."
When Gao Zhijun saw the prefect, she bowed to him but did not kneel.
The other party came in casual clothes, so there should be no need for him to kneel down and kowtow.
