Liu Zhao was deep in thought, but he did not dare to expect too much.
Jiang Pengji did not explain further. After all, it was enough for her to be clear about many things. The more people who knew, the easier it was for things to go awry.
Although Liu Zhao was clever, he was still too inexperienced. Who knew if he would ruin her plans in a moment of impulse?
"Okay, let's go home."
"Oh, go home …"
Jiang Pengji patted his head. She smiled warmly.
If Liu Zhao dared to summon the courage to look straight at her, he would have realized that Jiang Pengji's eyes were filled with warmth. It was not a simple perfunctory act.
The siblings put their arms around each other's shoulders. Jiang Pengji turned her head and glanced at Liu Zhao, who was only a little taller than her.
In this era, Liu Zhao was not considered short. At least he was above average. He was as tall as a pine tree.
However, in Jiang Pengji's eyes, he could only be considered petite.
"Zhao 'er, you rejected the marriage proposed by father. Do you have any thoughts?"
"Sister, why did you suddenly mention this? Parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Marriage has always been decided this way. How can I make my own decisions? " Liu Zhao was startled. He probed, "I'm not asking for much. As long as she's good-looking and has a good personality …"
The most important thing was that she had to be a normal person!!!!
Important things had to be repeated three times!
Liu Zhao did not want the person by his side to be a demon who had been possessed, a monster who was born with knowledge, or something else. It was too scary.
As long as she was a normal person, he would not be picky even if she was ugly, stupid, or had a lower family background.
Jiang Pengji frowned. "Although marriage is decided by the elders, you are the one who will spend a lifetime with her. To put it crudely, only your own feet will know if the shoes fit. The most important thing is that you like her. Only after marriage can there be harmony. "
Liu Zhao was still an underage youth. Even if he was clever, his temperament was still somewhat reserved and reserved.
His cheeks were slightly flushed, and his expression was somewhat unnatural.
"It's not that I want to decline, but I really haven't seen many. How can I like her?"
If it was possible, Liu Zhao really wanted to be single for the rest of his life.
It was fine if his wife was obedient, but if she was restless and urged him to fight for power or play tricks in secret, wouldn't that be harming him?
It was better not to marry such a troublesome wife.
Jiang Pengji frowned and said, "There really aren't many decent families in Wanzhou. Why don't I go back and ask Huaiyu if there are any women of suitable age in the Feng clan? You're not young anymore. You'll be crowned in a year or two. You can't not have a marriage. "
Liu Zhao was shocked. Did his sister mean to make the Feng family his wife?
"Sister, I'm still young. Why don't you let me stay for two more years?" Liu Zhao smiled and shamelessly begged for mercy, but in his heart, his palms were sweating. Letting the Feng family become the Yue family was the same as wanting him to die faster. "If I get married, how can I find an excuse to ask Elder Sister for a red seal during festivals? This little brother doesn't have anything of value. It's already difficult for me to support myself, let alone a family. "
Liu Zhao racked his brains, wanting to decline.
"I'm very poor now. Every day, I'm waiting for you to give me a big red seal to help me …" Liu Zhao refused to give in. He shamelessly asked Jiang Pengji for this year's red seal gift in advance. "It's almost New Year's Eve. Why don't you reward me first?"
Jiang Pengji was helpless against Liu Zhao.
Judging from his words and actions, Liu Zhao's desire to live was extraordinarily strong.
If he was allowed to live, he could live until the end of time.
If he cherished his life so much, why couldn't he think of intervening in a situation he shouldn't have?
"Okay, okay, okay … We've won a few battles this year. Our income has increased a lot. Your sister isn't stingy. The red seal I gave you is not small."
Jiang Pengji put her hand on Liu Zhao's shoulder and sent him back to her mansion.
Liu Zhao didn't have a family and career. He didn't have a house in Wanzhou, so naturally, he could only squeeze in with her.
Jiang Pengji asked someone to prepare supper for Liu Zhao so that he could eat before going to sleep.
"Where's Elder Sister?" Liu Zhao asked her.
"Tens of thousands of troops have been fighting a war for two years. There are still many things to deal with. I'll be busy for a while," Jiang Pengji said matter-of-factly. "If you handle these things well, the people under your rule will have a good New Year. Don't worry about it, Ah Zhao. Remember to sleep early. "
Liu Zhao stood in the corridor and listened to Jiang Pengji's words. His wide hood was piled on his shoulders, casting a large shadow.
The candlelight there was not bright. Half of Liu Zhao's face was hidden in the shadows.
He watched Jiang Pengji leave with a complicated expression. His eyes were filled with unfathomable thoughts.
At some point, he sincerely wished that this person was his sister. As her younger brother, he could be proud of her.
However, he knew very well that this was just his wishful thinking.
Liu Zhao fell asleep with his mind full of thoughts. He didn't know that his "hardworking" model sister had jumped into Wei Ci's mansion with a basket of documents. She held a pen in her mouth and hung upside down under the eaves of the bedroom like a bat. She raised her hand and knocked on the window.
Dong, dong, dong …
The crisp sound was especially clear in the dark night.
After a while, two candles lit up in the pitch-black room. Wei Ci was carrying one of them as he limped towards the window.
Creak …
Wei Ci raised his hand and opened the window a crack. Jiang Pengji's upside-down face suddenly came into view.
Wei Ci was speechless.
"I don't have the energy to work overtime and stay up late alone …" Jiang Pengji first put the basket on the ground, then flipped over and leaped into Wei Ci's room through the window. She then turned around and carried the basket in. "I saw that your walking posture was strange. What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Pengji talked on and on, not giving Wei Ci any room to react.
"I'm fine …"
Wei Ci sighed softly and limped into the room. He raised his hand and closed the window.
What was it like to have a master with superb martial arts skills?
Wei Ci felt that she would appear in front of him at any time, any place, and under any circumstances.
She could stimulate him at any time and any place.
Jiang Pengji carried the basket and looked down at Wei Ci's feet. Only then did she realize that there was a lump of black hanging on one of his legs.
Ying ying?
It seemed to have noticed Jiang Pengji's line of sight. The lump of shadow turned its large face and stared at her with its black pearl-like watery eyes. It made two sounds from its mouth. It used its claws to hug Wei Ci's thigh and calf, putting the weight of its entire body on this leg.
It was probably a little heavy. Wei Ci could only rely on shifting when he walked, so his walking posture was a little limping.
Jiang Pengji said, "You haven't fed it to death yet?"
She had not bothered with it since she threw it to Wei Ci. She thought that it had long been stolen and roasted by some greedy soldier.
Wei Ci said, "This is the young master appointed by the lord. How would I dare to neglect it?"
It was Jiang Pengji's turn to be dumbfounded.
When did she appoint a panda as the young master?
