I'm going to bend the protagonist

After the massage incident, José became more casual about getting along with Zhou Zhen, and his attitude naturally became closer.

Zhou Zhen observed Qiao Se secretly from time to time, and found that he seemed to let go of his indifferent attitude towards him before and really get along with him. Although he didn't know where this change came from, Zhou Zhen was also very happy in his heart.

Occasionally, Zhou Zhen entrusted Qiaoser to do a few things, and found that he was appropriate in every way, and he handled all the tasks he had explained to him in a decent manner. Zhou Zhen then gradually entrusted Qiaoser with more things. He had to be complained by Joseph. Although he looked sullen on the surface, he became more and more happy when he saw Joseph complained and then obediently did it. Even Joseph rolled his eyes at him when he heard the arrangement from time to time. .

Every time he went to banquets invited by dignitaries, Zhou Zhen always brought José with him, and José took care of those he was impatient with. José was troublesome, Zhou Zhen just glanced at him, kicked him over, and lay on the bed for several months. Since then, no one dared to use the boy from the Ukrainian country next to Zhou Zhen as a raft.

Today, when the two were discussing a document in the study, Mrs. Wu led a group of servants to find it.

Zhou Zhen hurriedly went forward to pay homage to his adoptive mother, and Qiao Se followed behind him, naturally bowing respectfully, and made tea for Mrs. Wu himself.

Madam Wu exchanged greetings with Zhou Zhen and stopped talking. She only glanced at Qiao Se. She had a good impression of him and was kind to him. If you want to talk about yourself, Joseph, you can step back."

José just listened to what she said, and prepared to leave with the other servants.

But I didn't want Zhou Zhen to say from the side: "If mother has anything to say, just say it directly. Joseph and I are both brothers and benefactors. There is nothing to avoid."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Mrs. Wu's face when he heard him say that, but after Zhou Zhen spoke, Qiao Se stood behind Zhou Zhen as if he couldn't see, lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

"I probably know what mother is going to say, so let's explain it to mother today, so as not to delay Xi'er."

Madam Wu saw that he really had no intention of letting Joseph leave, and seeing that he had already started to talk about something, so she had no choice but to give it up. She just looked at Joseph twice, and blamed him for being ignorant.

Zhou Zhen didn't give Mrs. Wu a chance to continue showing her face, and said directly: "In the past, I felt that my mother and father were considerate in everything, so I always listened to the arrangement of the two elders, but my son will go to the border soon, although Xi'er is sure I don't care about going to the frontier with my son to endure hardships, but my son feels sorry for her, Xi'er is the best, and someone better should be worthy of her." After looking at Mrs. Wu's face, he continued: "Furthermore The son is now a first-rank general, and the father also has a title. Although the father is old, we father and son both hold military power. Although the royal family doesn't say anything, they are still guarding against us. Xi'er and her mother stayed in the capital. Only then can they feel at ease, and they will be completely relieved when their father returns to the capital and surrenders the military power, and Xi'er remarries to the nobles of the first family in the capital."

Mrs. Wu frowned upon hearing what Zhou Zhen said. During this time, she was summoned by the queen every day, and she was asked to bring Xi'er with her every time. Originally, she and General Wu were afraid that Xi'er would enter the Wangmen clan meeting After being wronged, he thought about letting his son become his son-in-law directly. In the past, this matter was not put on the agenda because Xi'er was still young, and Zhou Zhen had no objection. Now it is the first time he has discussed this matter directly with the Wu family.

"Mother, Xi'er and I have known each other since we were young, and we have called her brother and sister for many years. From the bottom of our hearts, I regard her as my own sister, and Xi'er has also treated me as an elder brother since childhood.

Xi'er has never suffered much since she was a child, and her mother has taught her well, so she can choose the young children in the capital.Naturally, I also want her to be happy. Mother, why don't you take good care of the young children in the capital, and help Xi'er find a good husband-in-law if you like her son. "

Seeing that Zhou Zhen had already spoken to this point, Mrs. Wu couldn't say anything more at the moment, so she tried to persuade him a few more times in the name of General Wu, but Zhou Zhen rejected them all.

In fact, she didn't want her daughter to marry Zhou Zhen in her private heart, but General Wu has always had this idea, and since Zhou Zhen is well-known, she followed General Wu's wishes. Come.

One could say that Wu Xi is one of the best ladies in the capital city, because Mrs. Wu is a member of a great family, and she gave all her teachings since she was a child. If possible, she would naturally hope that her daughter would marry a handsome young man. If Zhou Zhen hadn't lived in the Wu Mansion since childhood, Mrs. Wu would never have wanted her daughter to marry a martial artist like herself.

Having made up her mind, Mrs. Wu didn't delay any longer, told Zhou Zhen a few words and said that she would find a suitable wife for him in two days, and then left.

After Mrs. Wu left, Zhou Zhen got up and looked at Qiao Se. He saw that Qiao Se still had his head down, showing no expression. The perceptual person rejected Mrs. Wu, but that person still acted like he had nothing to do with him. Zhou Zhen shook his sleeves and sat back at the desk to read, but he didn't turn the pages for a long time.

Qiaoser lowered his head and curled his lips. According to the original plot, Zhou Zhen's wife was Wu Xi. The two were married at this time, but now Zhou Zhen refused.

José knew that this man was really bent, and he felt inexplicably happy at the moment.

Looking up for a long while, Zhou Zhenhu looked up, holding a book, staring at his direction for a while, he was muscular, leaning casually on a chair, his hair was tied up, and his good figure was outlined in black clothes. The light flickered, but there was no expression on his face.

Seeing that Zhou Zhen was not in the mood to read, Joser intentionally flattered him and said, "I'm a bit tired after spending half a day in the study, how about Joser accompany the general to go around the garden or go to the martial arts arena to practice."

"Well, let's go." Seeing Qiao Se staring at him with blazing eyes, Zhou Zhen took advantage of his words, put down his book and walked outside the house, passed by Qiao Se and glanced at him condescendingly, signaling He followed suit.

José smiled lightly, and he and Zhou Zhen went to the garden of the Wu Mansion one after the other.

The two walked around the garden, had some tea and snacks in the gazebo, and then prepared to go to the martial arts field.

Zhou Zhen was walking in front, and a fallen leaf happened to fall on top of his head. Qiaoser laughed secretly at the luck of this man, stopped someone, turned to him, took the fallen leaf for him, and shaved the crown for him collar.

José did it naturally, and Zhou Zhen didn't interrupt him when he saw that it was rare for him to be so close. He looked at him softly, with a smile on his mouth.

Wu Xi, who just got the news from Madam Wu and went for a walk in the garden, saw this scene.

If there was a man in the garden on weekdays, even if it was Zhou Zhen, Wu Xi would say hello and leave. Today, she just learned from Mrs. Wu that Zhou Zhen only regarded herself as a younger sister, and she felt relaxed and disappointed. Seeing Zhou Zhen at this moment, he secretly noticed what kind of thoughts he had.

In fact, she has always regarded Zhou Zhen as her elder brother, but because she is older, one is in the front yard and the other is in the back yard, so the two have less contact with each other.

At this moment, she saw Zhou Zhen looking at the man who was straightening his clothes tenderly, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

Don't talk about clothes, Wu Xi knows her righteous brother best. She never let people get close to her since she was a child, and everything is done by herself, not to mention his usually fierce or indifferent eyes. She never knew her righteousness. Brother will look at a person tenderly.

Wu Xi suddenly felt that something was wrong. She knew that the young man was Qiao Se, and she had heard about him. Back then, the story of Wang Mazi's love for him was spread throughout the house, and everyone said he was Miss Rongbi, could it be that her foster brother has also been deceived?

Wu Xi frowned and didn't intend to dodge it, so she stepped forward to salute, "Xi'er has seen my brother."

Qiao Se had already caught a glimpse of Wu Xi, but he just pretended not to see her. Seeing her stepping forward, he stood aside to greet her.

Wu Xi glanced at him, then turned to Zhou Zhen and said, "Why do you have time to hang out in the garden today, brother?"

At this moment, Zhou Zhen turned back into a face of ice cubes again, glanced at Qiao Se involuntarily, and replied casually, "I got tired of reading the paperwork, so I came out for a walk, and I was about to go to the martial arts arena."

"Then Xi'er won't bother you brother." After saying that, Zhou Zhen moved out of the way and took Joseph away.

Just after taking two steps, I heard Wu Xi say again: "Brother, I heard that the people of Wu country have some special maintenance prescriptions. I see that Qiao Se is getting better and better. I must have used some method. Brother, can you put Qiao Se in order?" Sir lend me half a day?"

Zhou Zhen had already turned his head. He was a little unhappy to hear her say that. His brows were frowned. Seeing him, Qiao Se was about to refuse, so he hurriedly answered, "Thanks to Miss Meng, Qiao Se does have some prescriptions."

Seeing what he said like this, Zhou Zhen couldn't say anything more, so he glared at him and said, "What are you doing keeping these things by your side as a man? Come to see me at the Martial Arts Field after you finish talking."

"Yes."

After Zhou Zhen left, José and Wu Xi returned to the gazebo. Wu Xi asked the girls around him to retreat outside the gazebo. She sat on the stone bench without talking to José, and only looked at the koi in the pool. .

José really didn't want to waste time with her, so he took the initiative to ask, "Why did Miss keep José?"

"Isn't it just about beauty recipes?"

"Joseph is a man, so naturally he doesn't have these prescriptions. If there is nothing else, Joseph will leave."

"You also know that you are a man." Wu Xi threw away the fish food in his hand, stood up, walked in front of Qiao Se aggressively, looked at Qiao Se with his hands on his hips, but he was a little shorter than Qiao Se Big cut, it looks a bit like a child venting his anger on an adult.

José looked at her amusedly, and said, "Of course Joser knows that he is a man, and he has never doubted it."

"Then you... then you are still like that, like my elder brother..." Wu Xi is a woman after all, and some words are really hard to say.

"What kind?" José frowned in doubt, he has not yet confirmed how crooked Zhou Zhen is, and he usually behaves in a well-behaved manner.

"Are you still quibbling?! I saw it just now. You touched your brother's head and straightened his clothes. He usually doesn't let people touch him at all!"

"Cough...cough cough." Thinking about what he did with his hands without using his brain just now, he didn't feel anything at first, but now he was questioned by a little girl, José felt a little embarrassed.He originally thought that Wu Xi was the same as those ancient women who liked to intrigue in those books, but he didn't want to be such a straightforward woman, which caught him off guard.
