Chapter 0067 Adoptive Father
Hearing Qu Yunmie's question, Gao Xunzhi immediately turned his head and stared at him.
However, when things get dark in the east, they get bright in the west. Just when things quieted down here, Chen's laughing voice rang out again behind him: "I can't take care of official business, but I can make the decision on this family matter!"
Gao Xunzhi: “…………”
Please don't add to the chaos!
Chen's confused state was already a headache, but unexpectedly, she was even more lethal when she was awake. Gao Xunzhi was completely confused, but fortunately, Xiao Rong and others had already found him at this time.
The door was open, and Xiao Rong walked in directly. He asked doubtfully, "What does my grandmother need to decide?"
If it was only Xiao Rong who came in, it might be okay, but Xiao Yi, two maids, and even Song Suo, whom he had only met once, all followed in, and Gao Xunzhi was almost scared to death.
Chen may not have meant that exactly what she said, but outsiders who heard it would definitely think in that direction.
This is the only era in history where men value reputation more than women. There are many men who jump into the lake when their reputation is ruined. Although Xiao Rong is not so fragile, no one wants to be involved in such rumors.
Gao Xunzhi pounced on Chen like a hungry tiger with a sensitivity that was absolutely incompatible with his age. But before he could stop Chen from speaking, Chen saw Xiao Rong's face and hugged him distressedly, and began to cry loudly: "Rong'er - if anything happens to you, how will you let your grandmother live!"
Xiao Rong did not respond to Chen immediately, but looked at Song Shuo angrily.
Song Shuo shrank his neck. He knew he was in the wrong and did not dare to explain himself.
Xiao Rong tried to comfort the old lady with a few words, but it had no effect. Xiao Yi walked up to her and mentioned her family members who had passed away long ago. This diverted her attention. Having a bad memory is a good thing. No matter how scared she was, it could not be stored in her mind for a long time. So she quickly returned to normal and followed Xiao Yi out.
Song Shuo did not dare to stay for long. Since he had already found Old Madam Xiao, he did not want to stay here and be an eyesore to Xiao Rong. After he left, only Xiao Rong, Qu Yunmie, and Gao Xunzhi were left in the room.
Xiao Rong watched them leave, then turned around and asked them, "What are you doing?"
Gao Xunzhi: “…”
He thought Xiao Rong had forgotten.
Gao Xunzhi couldn't say that, but Qu Yunmie could. He even said it calmly, "Old Madam Xiao said that a life-saving favor should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. Since your Xiao family can't produce anything valuable, she decided to give you to me."
After hearing this, Gao Xunzhi was convinced by Qu Yunmie. No wonder A Rong always scolded you. It was all your own fault.
Gao Xunzhi thought Xiao Rong would get angry, and rightly so. Which man could stand such teasing? However, Xiao Rong not only did not get angry, he even laughed and found a chair to sit down. "My lord, even if my grandmother is stupid, she can't say such a thing. What on earth did she say?"
Qu Yunmie opened his mouth, but Gao Xunzhi didn't let him finish his story. He interrupted him and said, "Arong, don't be angry. Old Madam Xiao is not in her right mind. She even forgot whether you are a man or a woman. She said she would give you to the king. She might have thought you were a girl."
After hearing this, Xiao Rong looked at Qu Yunmie who was standing beside him. Qu Yunmie was looking at him calmly, as if he was expecting him to look embarrassed.
Xiao Rong was silent for a moment, then laughed again: "Girls and boys, there is no difference. With my current status, shouldn't I have already been a member of the King's family?"
She spends all her time worrying about the same fool day and night. Which girl could have such a miserable life as him?
Qu Yunmie stared at him for a second, then suddenly he clapped his hands and laughed, as if Xiao Rong had spoken to his heart: "Great minds think alike. Mr. Xiao and I think alike."
Xiao Rong rolled his eyes in his heart, but curled his lips slightly. He stood up and said goodbye to the two people: "Then I will go back first, Prime Minister, I will visit you in the evening. We need to discuss how to use this money."
Qu Yunmie asked: "Do you need my presence?"
Xiao Rong walked out while waving at him: "No need, it's just me and the Prime Minister tonight, no one else is here."
As soon as Qu Yunmie heard this, he understood and immediately sat back in relaxation.
Others would mind if he didn't participate in the decision-making, so when others participated, he would also participate. However, Xiao Rong and Gao Xunzhi were the people he trusted the most and who knew him best. They didn't care whether he came or not, and he didn't care what results they would come up with, so there was no need for him to go.
In a few words, Qu Yunmie was free tonight. He couldn't drink alcohol due to his injury, nor could he go to the training ground to relax. Qu Yunmie was thinking about what else he could do tonight, but he didn't realize that Gao Xunzhi was still sitting in this room, and looked at him strangely for a long time. ...Hmm.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Arong and the king seemed to have become much closer.
Or had they been like this before, but he just didn't realize it until now?
Never mind... it's a good thing that these two are getting close. This way, he won't have to worry all the time, fearing that one day Ah Rong will be angered and leave by Qu Yunmie.
After Xiao Rong returned to his residence, he called Xiao Yi over to ask about the maids. Gao Xunzhi bought four maids for Chen at one time, two personal maids and two to do miscellaneous work. This number was not even available to ordinary wealthy families, but Xiao Yi was already very satisfied.
The Zhenbei Palace is quite special, all the busy servants here are soldiers drawn from the Zhenbei Army. It would be troublesome to have too many maids. These four people are the result of Gao Xunzhi's repeated selection. He has only two requirements: quick hands and feet, honest and simple-minded.
Who made the palace full of bachelors? Not to mention the most handsome Xiao Rong, who always gets a lot of attention when he goes out on the street. If he didn't like to take the king out, the palace would have been full of sachets and handkerchiefs.
Xiao Rong was so handsome that he had reached the point where things would turn into the opposite extreme. The girls who were attracted to him would secretly throw handkerchiefs at him, but they would not really communicate with him. After all, people dared to pursue beautiful women, but few dared to pursue peerless beauties.
But besides Xiao Rong, there also lived the two brothers of the Yu family, Zhang Biezhi who came occasionally, Fuzi who went out occasionally, and Song Suo who had just joined.
Gao Xunzhi couldn't even imagine what a wonderful scene that would be if the new maid was not honest.
Oh, there is also a king, but the king is not included. Ever since the king's sixteenth birthday, his height suddenly jumped to eight feet. Gao Xunzhi has never seen a woman who dares to covet the king's beauty. In the past, at least there were women willing to talk to him, although they were asking him to save their lives... but at least it was communication between the opposite sexes. Now, except for the women of the Buteu tribe who are not afraid of him, almost no woman dares to look him directly in the eyes.
In fact, most men didn't dare to do that. They also tried their best to avoid eye contact with Qu Yunmie when communicating. It was just that Gao Xunzhi didn't make any special observations. ...
Xiao Rong was very upset when he heard Xiao Yi repeating Gao Xunzhi's concerns.
Why did Gao Xunzhi say all this to Xiao Yi? Their Xiao Yi was still a young boy who was still studying hard and working hard.
Besides, is it necessary to be so strict? A maid is not a spy. As long as she comes from a good and innocent family, if she really likes someone, there is no problem in promising her to that person.
Of course, the main reason is that there are indeed too many bachelors in the Zhenbei Army. Although their average age is low, that is from a modern perspective. If viewed from an ancient perspective, they are all older bachelors.
