Chapter 134 You are restless, boy!
The leather surface of this belt is shiny and exquisite. It is a high-end product that I spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy. The ones I gave to others were all cheap items bought at a few dozen yuan.
Chu Zhao's eyes lit up, and when he compared the two belts, he could tell at a glance that the one given to him was unusual, and he immediately smiled and said:
"This is great! How do I use it? I'll change it now!"
Gu Xi stepped forward and taught him how to tie the belt himself.
Chu Zhao had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Gu Xi put her arms around his waist and pressed her cheek against his strong chest. Gu Xi's heartbeat quickened for a moment, but he quickly took the belt with his other hand, took a half step back, fastened the buckle in front, and demonstrated to Chu Zhao how to use it.
Chu Zhao's breathing stopped, Chu Zhao's face turned red, and Chu Zhao's heart was beating wildly!
Chu Zhao's hormones are surging during adolescence!
A Xi hugged him!
Happiness comes too suddenly!
The young general, who was always so majestic and serious in front of others, was now so excited that he became a fool.
"Okay, this is how you use it. Do you understand?" Gu Xi raised her head and saw Chu Zhao's body stiff and motionless, with his lower body still -
Gu Xi raised his hand and slapped Chu Zhao on the forehead.
"Stop! Get that dirty crap out of your head. I'm Qi Dasheng!"
I really don't understand how this silly boy could imagine and get his body to react when faced with the image of Qi Dasheng, who is more manly than any other man.
You are restless, boy!
Chu Zhao finally came to his senses, looking embarrassed, and fled:
"I'm going to Zhou's house to deliver a visiting card!"
It was so embarrassing that Chu Zhao wished he could learn a way to hide underground.
In the afternoon, Gu Xi went to Zhou Mansion disguised as Chu Zhao's follower.
The Zhou Mansion was also a residence granted by the imperial court, but it only had a large area and the decoration inside was very simple.
There are no pavilions, no gorgeous decorations, and no precious flowers or plants in the yard, only some fruit trees.
The housekeeper did not take the two to the front hall, but to the backyard instead.
"Young General Chu, my master is there." The butler stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
This location is usually the back garden in wealthy families.
But in Zhou Mansion, there are no clusters of flowers, only lush greenery.
Leeks, radishes, eggplants, pumpkins, sweet potatoes...
This is not a minister's residence at all, it is clearly a farmer's vegetable garden, and a very large one at that, estimated to be several acres.
Zhou Qingzheng and his followers were watering the vegetables. When he saw Chu Zhao coming, he straightened up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shouted:
"Chu boy, wait a moment, we are almost done watering."
Gu Xi looked at Chu Zhao with a puzzled look.
Chu Zhao whispered:
"Mr. Zhou's family is self-sufficient in food and vegetables. I used to come here when I was a child. It has been more than ten years and nothing has changed."
This Zhou Qing seems to be really honest.
The housekeeper brought tea over, and Zhou Qing invited Chu Zhao to have tea in the shed next to the vegetable field.
Gu Xi was a follower and could only stand behind Chu Zhao.
"Grandpa, when you went to Dingxi County before, I was busy with military affairs and couldn't see you. So I came to see you as soon as I came back." Chu Zhao said.
Zhou Qing, dressed like an old farmer, picked up the tea bowl, took a big sip, and said:
"I guess you have a heart."
But he still frowned and said:
"This year's drought is severe, and I don't know when it will end. I have a deep well in my mansion that can still irrigate the crops, but the people are having a hard time."
Chu Zhao nodded and said:
"We saw this on our way to Beijing. The situation in Beijing is relatively good. Although the river is almost dry, there is still some water. The situation in Yuzhou is even more difficult."
They also helped many disaster victims along the way.
Chu Zhao chatted with Zhou Qing for a few more words before taking out the belt and saying:
"Old man, I know you don't accept gifts, but this belt was made by a soldier in my army. It's not worth much, but it's very comfortable to use. Let me change it for you."
Zhou Qing did not refuse and let Chu Zhao tie it for him. He turned around and said:
"Well, it's really good, convenient and comfortable, so I'll take it. You came at the right time, the peaches in my front yard are ripe, and your grandfather loves peaches the most. You can bring back a basket for him to try later."
Zhou Qing really doesn't want to take advantage of others.
Chu Zhao said again:
"Old man, there has been no war recently, so I want to borrow some books from you. Can you help me find a few?"
Zhou Qing said with a smile:
"Good! It's a good thing for young people to read more! Come on, I'll take you to the study."
When we arrived at Zhou Qing's study, we saw tall bookshelves on three walls, with all kinds of books neatly arranged on them.
The decoration of the study is also very simple, with a half-worn desk, a candlestick, a chair, and the rest are all books.
Materially poor, but spiritually rich.
Chu Zhao only picked books from high places. Since Zhou Qing was old, Chu Zhao ordered Gu Xi, who was pretending to be an attendant, to climb up and down to get the books. Gu Xi took the opportunity to install cameras and eavesdropping devices.
Although she felt that based on what she had seen in Zhou Qing's mansion, he was definitely not a bad person, but Qi's words made her not let her guard down. What if he was pretending?
When they left the house, Gu Xi was holding a large basket of peaches and Chu Zhao was holding a pile of books. They did not return to the Chu House, but went straight to Gu Xi's Zhenxibo Mansion.
The Zhenxibo Mansion is now bustling with people.
Gu Xi went out early in the morning and didn't know that the threshold of her house was about to be broken.
He just arrived in Beijing yesterday, and today countless officials of all ranks in the court came to visit him.
Liu Erdan was standing at the door. When he saw Chu Zhao coming, he hurried forward and saluted:
"The Major General is here. The uncle has gone out early in the morning. Do you want to go in and wait?"
Gu Xi is now dressed as a follower, so it is not convenient for him to talk.
Chu Zhao pointed at the carriages and people outside the door and said:
"How is this going?"
Liu Erdan said:
"These people have been here for quite some time. My cousin invited those with higher positions in. As for the rest, my cousin said he couldn't entertain them enough and asked them to go back. Some of them have already left, but the rest refused to leave no matter what I said."
Chu Zhao keenly caught a word,
"Cousin? Where did this cousin come from?"
Gu Xi's face was suddenly filled with black lines, she had forgotten about this.
They arrived in Beijing yesterday. After returning to the modern world, Lin Xiaoxuan kept clamoring to come, so she had no choice but to bring Lin Xiaoxuan into the space. Early this morning, she told Liu Erdan and the others that this was her distant cousin.
Then she was busy going out to install the bug and forgot about Lin Xiaoxuan.
"He came this morning. The uncle said that Mr. Lin is his distant cousin and will live in the mansion from now on."
Chu Zhao looked at Gu Xi with a dark face.
Master Lin? Still living in the mansion?
Gu Xi wanted to cover her face, but she couldn't because she was holding a basket of peaches. She could only grin awkwardly, but she felt that there was no need to feel guilty. Couldn't she have a cousin?
"Come on, take this general to meet this cousin!" Chu Zhao gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Liu Erdan didn't know that Chu Zhao was talking to Gu Xi, and he was still wondering, did he offend the young general in any way? Why did he look like he wanted to eat someone?
