Bai Zheng lowered her head with a slight smile on her lips.
”The zither girl has protected the Phoenix Cry for the house of the Marquis. With such a great deed, I will definitely report it to His Majesty and ask him to bestow you with more rewards.”
Old Duke Zhou said with a smile.
”Then I'll be troubling the Old Duke.” Feng Linyuan said indifferently.
”Stinky brat, this reward is also for your little girl's dowry, how can there be any place for you to thank me!” Old Duke Zhou rebuked.
Wen King glanced at Old Duke Zhou sideways, and said loudly: ”Old Zhou, it's a good thing that the two of them are so united before even getting married. ”Look at how they're seasoning, accompanying us seniors here. It's hard to say whether or not they're blaming us in their hearts for ruining the scenery.”
With that said, he chased Bai Zheng and Feng Linyuan out.
Standing outside the hall, Bai Zheng and Feng Linyuan couldn't help but look at each other, and in the end, turned into a light smile.
The spring sunshine was bright and beautiful. The wind brought along with it a clear fragrance of peach blossoms, causing one to feel relaxed and happy.
Bai Zheng stood at the bottom of the walkway, looking far into the distance, but her mouth said it all.
”Take this sword back to the manor. It is not too peaceful in the Bai Mansion. ”
With such a good roof, there was no way that thieves would step on it every day.
Feng Linyuan, who was standing at the side, nodded and said, ”I also have that intention. Oh right, Zheng? ”
”Hmm?” Bai Zheng raised her head.
”These days, you have to leave early and return late. You must pay attention to your body and not be too tired.” A trace of gentleness flashed across Feng Linyuan's eyes.
Bai Zheng laughed awkwardly: Was it Qingshao who complained to you?
Feng Linyuan said as he raised his gaze gently, ”You are so busy that you don't even know that I am coming to apply for the position today, why would you need Qingshao to appear?”
Bai Zheng quickly explained: ”In this business, the initial days are always a bit more difficult. Once the shop stabilizes and the business is on the right track, it can be handed over to others. ”Don't worry, I won't be this busy all the time.”
”Like you said, in the business world, starting a business is the most difficult, so you don't have to rush. You don't need to buy dozens of shops in one go, you just have to do it one by one.”
Bai Zheng lowered his head, ”You know everything now.”
Feng Linyuan stared at her, extended a hand to stroke the strands of hair on her forehead, and said softly: ”In the end, you still have to split your heart and come out, so you can keep an eye on your hubby, right?”
”What do you mean?” Bai Zheng could not help but ask.
Feng Linyuan raised his brows and smiled, ”Do you know who came from Xiliang this time?”
Bai Zheng was caught off guard by the question.
In these past few days, she had completely focused on her own business and Feng Linyuan's body, and didn't have the energy to care about other things.
Those who did not even know that Yongding City had arrived naturally, were even more clueless as to who it was that came this time.
She shook her head: ”Other than that Xuanning King, who else came?”
Looking at Bai Zheng's blank expression, Feng Linyuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, ”Zheng, when can you save me in your heart?”
was even more confused by his words. ”What does the person from Xiliang have to do with you?”
Feng Linyuan said helplessly: ”Does Zheng know why I came in such a hurry to apply?”
The moment these words left her mouth, Bai Zheng remembered that the last time she had visited Feng Linyuan was three days ago. At that time, the topic of conversation had been about the whereabouts of the genius doctor Zhou Yuanning, and he had not mentioned the matter of him being hired at all.
This led to her being caught unprepared by her next job today.
Why are you in such a hurry to get hired... Bai Zheng frowned as she thought about it. Most of the things that happened was because she was afraid that things might get out of hand.
