Chapter 289: Propose again?
Is this the accountant? If you hadn't told me, I would have thought these were your bodyguards. The shortest one is eight feet tall, and they have to crane their necks to see his chin. What's the point of asking this?
He Zhaojun looked at these people with great satisfaction and smiled.
Shao Shang was also standing in the courtyard, and he secretly asked He Zhaojun, "Sister Zhaojun, why are all your accountants so burly?"
"Of course. They are all responsible for collecting debts from various places. If they are not so strong and powerful, how can they be competent for such an important job?" He Zhaojun showed a mischievous expression and pointed at the muscular man with two axes on his waist.
"See him? He's in charge of the suburban areas of Beijing. Just with those two axes, he's made a name for himself in the martial arts world. Scaring those censors and the people from the Honglu Temple is easy for him, isn't it?"
Shao Shang nodded as if he suddenly understood something. It turned out that He Zhaojun had already anticipated this day and had made all the necessary preparations.
"That guy looks like a weak scholar, holding a fan in his hand. He looks so gentle, but the one interrogating him is a ruthless character. Sister Zhaojun, do you want to help him?" Shao Shang watched the two people enter the house one after another very nervously, and kept looking around.
He Zhaojun said, "He's handsome, haha, but he's the head of the Hanzhong County Escort Agency, so there's no need to worry..."
The two were talking face to face in whispers when they suddenly heard someone cough behind them.
"cough."
He Zhaojun turned her head and saw Wen Ziduan standing not far away, looking at the two of them with a half-smile. Shaoshang felt uneasy. Since returning from the southwest, their relationship had really developed rapidly, making her feel that Wen Ziduan was becoming more and more unpredictable.
She stuck out her tongue and said, "Take care of yourself. I think he heard you praising others for their handsomeness!" As he said that, Shao Shang slipped away and went to keep an eye on those people for He Zhaojun, leaving He Zhaojun alone, standing there awkwardly.
"Alas, the world is becoming more and more corrupt, and people's hearts are no longer as they used to be. You have won my heart, but you praise other men for their handsomeness. How can I, your husband, feel?" Wen Ziduan said sour words, slowly circling around He Zhaojun, gradually narrowing the distance between them.
Wen Ziduan folded his folding fan and gently clapped his left palm twice, as if thinking about something: "I really can't wait to ask for your hand in marriage again in the capital. I have to let all the men in the world know that you and I are a perfect match, so that they won't covet my wife anymore."
He Zhaojun stuttered, "I just want to wait until my father and brother return from the northwest before holding the wedding banquet. Long Feibai is coming back with us. He is very confident that he can wake Lady Huo in a month or so. By then, General Huo and Shao Shang can officially hold the wedding banquet."
This also made up for the regret that the two of them could not get married at the same time. Moreover, the last time Yi Shang and Re Xiao got married, the ceremony was very sloppy, which became a knot in General Huo's heart, and He Zhaojun also felt deeply regretful.
Seeing Wen Ziduan's unhappy expression, she quickly tugged at his sleeves with both hands, gently shaking them and blinking at him: "Ziduan...after all, we've already gotten married in the southwest. We're already husband and wife. What's the harm in you waiting a little longer?"
The two of them were openly pulling each other and flirting in the courtyard, completely ignoring the lives of the officials who were ordered to investigate.
Wen Ziduan did not seem to be involved too much, but he was very clever in using personnel arrangements to check and balance everyone. Often, before He Zhaojun could say anything, the people in charge of the inspection were already arguing with each other, their faces red and their necks angry, all trying to fight for their own interests.
It was a farce, a grand one, which ended with Censor Guo's complete failure.
