Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

On the day I left for Shu, unexpectedly many people came to see me off.

Gu Zhen converted the restaurant into a chain stock company, and started this business in partnership with the shopkeeper and several familiar associates. She planned to continue opening restaurants combining local characteristics when she returned to Shu.

In addition to these servants and hired helpers, many neighbors also came to see them off.

The affairs of Wen Zhao and Gu Zhen are no longer a secret and have become a hot topic among the people of the capital for a while.

No matter it is criticism or praise or a sigh that love is beyond human control, in the end Wen Zhao can stand beside Gu Zhen openly and express his love.

And stop those who covet it.

Wen Zhao just stood there, not wanting people like Mr. Yang, Mr. Wang, and the young detective to talk to Gu Zhen alone.

They looked at Wen Zhao with resentment and grievance. He was an official and should not be offended.

Gu Zhen thanked everyone and quickly got on the carriage. It was a good thing for these peach blossoms to stay far away in the capital, so that they would not come to the door every few days, and he did not have to chase them away like hooligans.

Wen Zhao mounted his horse, bowed and said goodbye to everyone. The accompanying team continued to march forward until they could no longer be seen. Then the people who had seen him off went back in groups.

When the team walked a few miles out of the capital, Wen Zhao saw his senior brother Xie Songhan, who was waiting for him on horseback with his servant Chang An.

Wen Zhao rode over and had a secret conversation with Xie Songhan in a pavilion for a long time. Xie Songhan brought a secret decree and a transfer order.

Gather evidence of the King of Shu's rebellion. If he has the intention to rebel, you can dispatch troops to Gansu Province.

As long as we help His Majesty keep a close eye on the King of Shu, who is a serious threat to him, your future will be smooth sailing.

Wen Zhao was more suitable to be a loyal minister than him. Xie Songhan sighed and patted his junior brother on the shoulder.

He turned thousands of words into one sentence: "Brother, I admire your courage and determination. The emperor originally wanted to grant you and Madam Gu a marriage, but since she is a role model for women in the world, she should decide her own marriage. When we arrive in Shu, Brother, I won't be able to drink at your wedding."

The shackles that Xie Songhan carries are heavier, while Wen Zhao is freer and more relaxed than him. He is not bound by clan constraints, nor does he have to bear the brunt of filial piety. Hearing this, he could only smile with shame.

"Brother, I heard that the princess is discussing a marriage for you. I'm afraid I can't personally deliver the gift. Please remember to write to me."

Xie Songhan smiled. Although there was still sadness in his eyes, he soon returned to normal. He urged Wen Zhao to set off quickly.

It's freezing cold, so head south as soon as possible, maybe it will be better.

After Wen Zhao formally bid farewell to him, Xie Songhan looked around for a few seconds and then rode back home.

I wanted to bring Qingzhi to see Gu Zhen off, but after returning to Beijing, I would not be as comfortable as in Qinghe Town.

He and Qingzhi seemed to have returned to the unfamiliar master-servant relationship they had in the Marquis' Mansion.

In addition, everyone has been talking about reforms these days, so Lian Qingzhi excitedly asked him whether women can really start their own business.

Xie Songhan knew that she didn't understand politics, so he patiently explained that giving women freedom did not mean that everyone could do it.

For example, for slaves like them who have sold themselves, how can they have the chance to leave the house if their masters don't let them go?

They have been slaves for generations.

The light in Qingzhi's eyes dimmed at that moment, which made Xie Songhan feel irritated for no reason. When the two of them were in the same room that night, it seemed like they were secretly competing with each other, but in the end, Qingzhi softened first.

But from then on she became even more silent. When she learned that her mother was choosing a daughter-in-law, Qingzhi became even more cautious.

Xie Songhan rubbed his brows, sighed and stopped thinking about it.

After all, he won't treat Qingzhi unfairly.

.

Wen Zhao rode a horse for a short while before changing to a carriage. He got into Gu Zhen's carriage and sat with her.

He whispered about what happened between him and Xie Songhan. He never hid anything from Gu Zhen.

They had always been dependent on each other, and now they shared honor and disgrace. His rise and fall were inseparable from Gu Zhen.

Wen Zhao planned to marry Gu Zhen when he arrived in Shu.

"You have worked hard to travel with me to various places, from Qinghe Town to the capital, and now we are going to Shu again, but this may be the last time."

Gu Zhen shook off his hand: "Who said I wanted to marry you? The emperor has granted me marriage leave, so you should make arrangements first."

The hand with the handkerchief shrank in Wen Zhao's hand. He didn't grab anything, but he didn't get angry. He went over and held Gu Zhen again: "Why do you regret it again? Didn't you say you were willing to marry me?"

Speaking of this, Gu Zhen was annoyed with him: "It's obviously you who are clinging to me. If I don't agree, I don't know how many nonsense you will say to me."

Wen Zhao laughed quietly. Seeing her drooping lips and rolling her eyes at him, he was moved but didn't dare to act rashly. He leaned over to coax her, "I'm just jealous. As soon as the reform came out, that little detective sent you letters for half a month. You have so many admirers in the capital. If I don't hurry up, what will happen if someone takes the lead?"

Who could have had the advantage over him? Gu Zhen pretended to hit him, but Wen Zhao grabbed him and held him in his arms.

He spread out his cloak and wrapped it around Gu Zhen: "You got up early this morning, why don't you sleep in my arms for a while?"

Gu Zhen groaned "hmm" and leaned against him to take a nap.

But I was thinking in my heart, when I arrive in Shu, will I be able to meet the heroine Qingzhi in the future?

Although it is still early, if the plot does not change, she will have a conflict with Xie Songhan sooner or later.

"Your senior brother is going to get married?" Gu Zhen poked Wen Zhao's chest.

Wen Zhaoying claimed: "Senior brother doesn't want to get married. It's easy to arouse suspicion if he makes friends with anyone. But the princess is very strong and threatens to kill herself at any time."

"Speaking of this, your senior brother must also think that marrying a virtuous wife is the best choice. Even if there is no pressure from the princess, he will take the initiative to find a noble lady when the time is right."

Before Qingzhi disappeared, he had never thought of marrying a maid.

This is an inevitability of the current era, and Gu Zhen knows it very well.

Wen Zhao also knew this, and he did not make excuses for his senior brother. "The aristocratic family is not something that ordinary people like us can understand. It's not like me, who can know and love you."

Even talking about free love, Gu Zhen rolled her eyes and thought that Wen Zhao should be thankful that his parents and brother died early...

She laughed secretly: "Your senior brother likes Qingzhi, he hasn't realized it yet, he will regret it in the future."

Wen Zhao thought about what he had seen those times and felt that Xie Songhan did have some unusual feelings for Qingzhi. It was the possessiveness and desire for control that only men could understand.

"If that's the case, then it's troublesome. Which woman is willing to live under the mistress's hand? If I were your senior brother, why can't I fight for the woman I love?"

Wen Zhao put himself in Gu Zhen's shoes and realized that there seemed to be nothing he couldn't fight for, as he dared to marry Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen chuckled. Wen Zhao's personality was indeed different from Xie Songhan's. If he had any hesitation or struggle, she would not follow him to Shu.

Fortunately, Wen Zhao was determined.

She sat up from Wen Zhao's arms and smiled as if granting a favor, "Since you are so brave to fight for our future, when we get to Shu, I will allow you to marry me!"

Wen Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Okay, thank you for your kindness, Madam. Will you not regret it this time?"

"Of course!"

"It's a deal?"

"A word is settled!"
