Chapter 58 Marriage Proposal
He knew about Du Hai and Xiao Zi, as Li Zheng had mentioned them in the letter, and nodded slightly.
"Brother!" As soon as Baoger entered the yard, he saw Gu Chengze standing there. He ran over and hugged him in a hurry. He hadn't seen him for half a year.
Seeing Bao Ge'er rushing over, he quickly supported him and touched his head, "How are you? Did you rest well?"
"Well, it's fine. Hey? Brother, how come you seem to have grown taller again?" He has been trying hard to eat and grow taller these days, but he didn't expect that he still can't compare to his brother.
"Don't worry, you'll grow taller when you grow up." He thought the same thing when he was as old as Bao Ge'er. You'll understand when you grow up. And he's still young and has a lot of growth to do!
"Oh, okay. What about my sister?" He didn't expect his brother to say anything fancy, as his sister said the same thing.
"I'll be there in a minute."
"Miss." A Yue stepped forward and saluted the lady, and for some reason he unconsciously regulated his behavior when he was here.
"Sister, you are so slow. Ah!" He quickly rubbed his head.
"You brat." Upon hearing this, Li Zheng raised her hand and slapped him. This brat probably wouldn't be able to find a partner when he grows up. Ah! What a vicious curse.
Seeing the two of them playing around, he persuaded them: "Okay, eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold." He winked again, and A Yue took Xiao Zi away after seeing it. Needless to say, Du Hai also went down after getting the wink.
At the dinner table, he naturally sat next to her and placed some more food on her plate. She ate naturally. Bao Ge'er looked at his brother and sister, and for some reason, it seemed as if something had changed, yet it also seemed the same. He always felt that there was something sticky between the two of them. If Bao Ge'er knew the term "eating dog food", he would probably understand.
"Huh? Why aren't those two maids here?" "Weren't they following them before? Now I haven't seen them anymore."
"Send it away." He picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it in her bowl.
So fast?
"Zhu Wenming, the housekeeper Zhu, will be back tomorrow. You can just look for him when I'm not around these days." He picked up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it in.
She looked at the food in the bowl, her veins popping out. It was piled up like a mountain, and she was still picking it up!
When Baoger saw that only his sister was taking the food, he felt that he had fallen out of favor and became unhappy. "Brother, I want some too," he said, handing the bowl to him.
"Yeah. Bao Ge'er wants some too." A smile appeared on his lips as he picked up the meat that Bao Ge'er liked.
"Where did Butler Zhu go? Are there any other servants in this house?" I'm going to live here in the future, so I still need to know.
"Besides Butler Zhu, there are no other servants in the house. The only ones left are Yang Jia and Guard Yang, whom you have met."
Li Zheng knew that the maid prepared for her had just been sent away.
At this point, he seemed to feel that there were too few people in the mansion. "Why don't we wait for Butler Zhu to come back and ask him to contact the broker to buy more people?"
"Yeah." There are too few people. He is already a general, how can he do without someone to run errands for him? And Bao Ge'er should also have a servant by his side. Du Hai is a bit old, so it is better to let him do something else. "Do you need someone to fill in the gaps?"
"I don't need it. I have people around me who are available. Don't worry." He now has plenty of people under his command as a general, and the people he chooses from the brokers don't quite meet his requirements.
"Okay, I understand. Is there any suitable private school nearby for Baoger to go to?" Baoger cannot fall behind in his studies.
"Yes, but I suggest that Baoger don't go for now. It's winter now and the private school is on winter vacation. It's not too late to go in spring." Baoger's eyes lit up when he heard that he didn't have to go to private school for the time being. Yes, he can play at home.
"That's right." She only just remembered that it was so cold today, and it was time for winter vacation. Seeing that he didn't say much and seemed to be hesitant to speak, she asked, "What's wrong? Do you have something to say?"
"Hmm." Seeing him hesitate and not speak, I thought of the previous incident. I guessed it was definitely not a good thing, so I didn't bother to ask any more.
Seeing that she didn't ask anymore, Gu Chengze was a little unsure whether he should say it out loud. Li Zheng was a little annoyed by his hesitant look, "Are you going to tell me or not?"
Baoger quickly retracted his neck, moved more gently, and ate his meal carefully. It was scary when his sister got angry.
Seeing her like this, he didn't dare to hide it anymore, "I told the general before that we will get married next spring." Knowing that he was wrong, he didn't dare to look at her, his eyes fixed on the bowl.
Li Zheng felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Getting married next spring? Isn't that just a few months away? "What do you mean?" She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, resisting the urge to hit someone.
Gu Chengze touched his nose, looking embarrassed. "Several families came to ask if I'd gotten married, but I turned them down. Then someone asked about the general. The general asked me, and I didn't know what to do, so I just said I already had a fiancée and the date is set for early spring next year." Seeing her staring at him, he became nervous and stuttered. General Wang had been promoted from fifth rank to third rank and was his superior. Although he was happy to say this, he felt a little guilty when he thought that she might not be willing to get married right away.
Hearing this, her anger subsided considerably. She glanced at his face again. It must be this appearance that captivated those ladies. Plus, he had good abilities, rising from obscure to a fifth-rank official in just six months. He came from a simple family and had no parents, so he must have been favored. No, why was he being praised so highly?
Bao Ge'er looked at his sister, his eyes brightening. Is she getting married? Ah, he can openly embarrass his brother now.
Gu Chengze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her anger had subsided a lot.
"So what are you going to do?" It wasn't that she was against marrying him, but she felt a little unhappy about getting married before she was ready. And she only just realized it now, which made her feel neglected. But from his perspective, it was understandable, because they were indeed engaged, albeit a simple one. Thinking about it this way, since there wasn't even an engagement yet, was she still taking advantage?
"I'm thinking of asking the general's wife to come and help us with the wedding." When he told the general about this, the general knew that he had no parents, so he took the initiative to bring it up. He then took the opportunity to ask the general for help. The general's wife had nothing to do at home, so she readily agreed and said she would take good care of it for him.
Li Zheng glanced at him and pursed her lips, "Did you plan this a long time ago?"
Seeing that she had seen through his intentions, Gu Chengze rubbed his nose and didn't dare to say anything. Seeing Gu Chengze like this, she calmed down. It was good that this was his own plan, which showed that he really wanted to marry her and was not forced to do so.
"Then you decide."
