Chapter 24 Talking
"Sister, I'm an adult already." Baoger felt helpless. He was an adult, but his sister still treated him like a child.
"Okay, okay, eat quickly." Li Zheng also knew that this was a time for children to want to be adults, so she followed his wishes.
Gu Chengze looked at the harmonious relationship between Li Zheng and her brother, and couldn't help but think of his own birthday before. At that time, he was also like An Ge'er.
"Ang'er, come here. Today is your birthday. I asked the kitchen to make longevity noodles for you. Your father has a lot of work to do today, so come back later." A very gentle woman embraced Ang'er.
"Ang'er knows, mother doesn't need to worry." The boy is also very sensible and considerate of his parents.
"Who said that? Isn't the father coming right now?"
A voice with a hint of laughter came from a distance. Ang'er turned around and saw that it was his father who came back.
He immediately rushed over, "Father!"
"Hey! Is An'er being good?" The man grabbed his son who was running towards him and held him in his arms.
"Why are you back? Didn't you say you had a lot of things to do today?" The woman was a little annoyed when she saw the man ignoring his official duties.
"No matter how much official business I have, it's not as important as my son's birthday!" The man smiled at the woman without caring.
"Okay, put him down quickly. He's five years old, and he's not tired."
"Ang'er is not heavy." Ang'er was unhappy when he heard it.
"Okay, our An Ge'er is not heavy, madam, please sit down quickly. Today is An Ge'er's birthday." The man saw that his son was unhappy and hurried to coax him.
"Okay, An'er, come on down quickly. Set the table." As soon as the words were spoken, maids and servants came out one after another, carrying food and dishes, and soon the table was full.
…
"Brother, brother, don't you want to eat?" Baoger looked at Chengze and didn't know what he was thinking. There was no movement for such a long time.
"Huh? Of course I eat it." Baoger's words interrupted Gu Chengze's thoughts.
Li Zheng brought the cooked dumplings to the table and said, "Alright, let's eat."
After dinner, Li Zheng and Bao Ge'er lay on the bed, while Gu Chengze in the kitchen looked at the pile of dishes and didn't know where to start. Although he had seen it before, the feeling was really different when it was his turn.
…
"Okay, go wash the dishes." Li Zheng looked at Gu Chengze and instructed him.
"Um?"
Seeing that he was a little confused, she explained, "Before, your leg was injured, so I didn't assign you any work. Now that your leg is healed, shouldn't you do it? Do you still want me to serve you?"
"No, no, I'll go." Gu Chengze thought about it and realized that since he wasn't his servant, there was no reason for him to wait on him all the time. He turned and went to the kitchen, looking at the dishes and chopsticks, feeling a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, he had a strong mental state and thought it through before he started.
“Pah.”
Li Zheng couldn't help but laugh when she heard the sound of bowls breaking in the kitchen.
Bao Ge'er was different and asked directly, "Did my brother break it? Will we have no bowls to eat tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, the bowl is within reach." I don't know if this kid did it on purpose, and he spoke so loudly.
Gu Chengze was holding a bowl in his hand. He heard the sound in the house and looked at the broken bowl on the ground with some helplessness. He became more cautious and did not break another bowl.
After Gu Chengze washed up and finished washing up, he returned to the room and saw that Li Zheng and Bao Ge'er had fallen asleep. Gu Chengze moved quietly and lay down in the quilt. He didn't know why his mind suddenly remembered something that didn't make sense. He was busy treating his legs and didn't think about it before. Now it seems a little inappropriate, but there is no other way. Although he wants to ask her to marry him, the girl is avoiding him now. If you want to say why he wants to ask her to marry him, the first is responsibility, and the second is suitability. Although she is usually careless and behaves a little casually, she is very kind and has her own bottom line. In particular, she has her own ideas. Although she didn't say it, he can feel that she is different from most people here.
Gu Chengze felt that it was time to have a further discussion with Li Zheng.
Li Zheng also discovered these days that Gu Chengze would talk about what happened that day intentionally or unintentionally, but she always felt a little awkward so she just glossed over it. However, she also knew that she could only avoid it temporarily, not forever, so there was nothing she could do about it, and she hadn't thought it through.
She felt that her relationship with him was just comrades-in-arms, and nothing else mattered. She also didn't expect to find someone who was in love with her in this ancient time. After all, the possibility was slim. Besides, having three wives and four concubines was legal at that time. Would anyone give up a large sea of flowers for her? Anyway, Li Zheng felt that no one was there, and she didn't think she had that kind of charm.
Li Zheng told Gu Chengze, "Anyway, I'm just like that. I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes, so don't tell me anymore."
When Gu Chengze heard this, he thought that only she dared to say that. Any lady from a noble family who dared to say that would be criticized to death by the world. "Don't worry, I won't take a concubine."
"Ah?" Li Zheng was a little shocked when she heard this. This...
"Don't worry, the problem you are worried about will not happen. I can write a document for you." He saw that Li Zheng was still a little unconvinced.
Upon hearing this, Li Zheng immediately put away her indifference. It seemed that he was serious. Li Zheng thought about it and felt that it would not be a big deal if she agreed. After all, they were just going to live together. He wanted to sign a document. If he changed his mind, she would poison him. Anyway, in this ancient time, she had nothing to worry about, except Bao Ge'er. And he looked like a man who would do great things. In the future, she would have no worries about food and drink, and it seemed that living a retirement life directly would not be a bad idea.
"Okay, I'm not forcing you. If you regret it later, don't blame me for being rude. It's not too late to regret now." Li Zheng reminded him.
"Don't worry, I won't regret it." Thinking about that family, he wouldn't take a concubine and cause his wife and children to be separated. "Shall I write you a document now?"
"Yes, now." It's better to take it now so you don't forget it later.
"Okay." Gu Chengze smiled and wrote the receipt.
Li Zheng took a look at it, put it away after finding no problem.
Speaking of which, they are now an engaged couple, and Li Zheng was also worried about whether it would be awkward, but after a few days she found that there was no change, so she put it out of her mind and continued to do what she had to do every day.
On the contrary, Gu Chengze thought several times, they are now an engaged couple, shouldn't they be shy? But when he thought of Li Zheng playing with a big sword, he put his mind at ease and practiced swordsmanship. The road ahead is long and difficult.
The snow continued to fall for more than a month. During this time, Li Zheng and the other two were no longer as skinny as bamboo stalks. Their faces had flesh on them, and they practiced martial arts, so their bodies were very strong and they had grown a lot taller. Especially Li Zheng, her skin had become whiter due to not seeing the sun for a few months. She had changed drastically from the fire-making maid she used to be.
