I Conquer the World For My Duke - C105
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.
Too much trouble?
“Could it be that the marriage has changed?” Bai Zheng was suddenly enlightened, “A prince has arrived in Xiliang? That’s not right! “I am only the daughter of a third-grade vice minister, and cannot enter their eyes …”
Bai Zheng suddenly raised her head as her eyes were filled with surprise: “Could it be that a princess, princess, and the like of Xiliang have come to marry you?”
Feng Linyuan raised his eyebrows, “Zheng is clever indeed. This time, among the people who came with Zhuo Lingxiao, there is one Princess Yunxi. ”
Bai Zheng could not help but laugh: “But you and the Xiliang had a blood feud. Then what does the Xiliang Emperor think, to actually send a princess to marry you?”
“You can still laugh?” Feng Linyuan glanced at her, and said with a smile, “Your husband is about to be snatched away by someone.”
“What do I have to worry about? There’s someone above me who’s more worried than I am. He’ll help me settle this matter.” Bai Zheng said disapprovingly as she reached out and picked at the petals of the peach.
If Feng Linyuan really married that Princess Yunxi of Xiliang, with Xiliang like tigers adding wings, then at that time, it was possible that Feng Linche who was sitting on the throne would not be able to sleep at all.
“You’re quite clever.” Feng Linyuan smiled.
“So, you took Feng Linche’s edict at the last minute and came to my house to apply? So is the wedding date fixed? ”
Since Bai Zheng had thought of this, Feng Linyuan could naturally think of it as well.
Then, if he was in such a hurry to apply, there was a high chance that it was not Feng Linyuan’s idea. Then, it was most likely Feng Linche who gave the order.
“Next month’s fifteenth.” Feng Linyuan nodded.
“One more month.” Bai Zheng bent the peach branch, then released her hand. Seeing it lightly bounce back to its original position, she sighed, “Looks like this Princess Yunxi is going to cause trouble.”
“Then, I’ll be troubling Zheng.” Unknowingly, a light purple robe had appeared in Feng Linyuan’s hands.
He draped the outer robe over Bai Zheng’s body, his eyes filled with gentleness: “Spring weather is changing, stand at the mouth of the wind and don’t catch a cold.”
The wind blew past Bai Zheng’s hair, causing her to widen her eyes, “Once the flowers on these peach trees have all fallen onto the ground, their leaves will naturally grow out. I understand this principle. ”
Seeing that the wedding day was approaching, Bai Zheng was even busier than before.
Every day, other than having to settle the matters of the shop, the fields, and the kilns, Madame Lin would also have to pick out jewelry, scheme, and marry her from time to time.
In the middle, there was an interlude.
In order to vent her anger, that Madame Hee grandmother who had her dowry cheated, in the name of teaching Bai Zheng rules, was summoned to the General Mansion.
However, he didn’t allow her to enter. He only allowed her to stand outside the Hundred Blessings Hall and act according to the rules.
Fortunately it was spring and March, so the sun was neither cold nor hot. Since Bai Zheng was willing to stand, she stood, and when she was tired, she sat down on a chair by the side.
When Madame Hee started reprimanding him, Bai Zheng said a few words back to him in an indifferent tone, which actually made the Madame Hee extremely angry.
After three or four times, Madame Hee was a little bitter and stopped calling Bai Zheng over.
On this day, Bai Zheng was once again dragged to the Xin Rui Hall by the Madame Lin to pick out the gold and silver jewelry used for marriage.
Seeing the many precious treasures in the shop, Bai Zheng felt a headache.
Although he was planning to open a shop, he had no interest in jewelry stores, so he lacked interest in them.
Madame Lin was extremely excited. She held a bangle in her left hand and two steps on her right, not knowing which one to put down.
“Zheng, come take a look yourself. Which one do you like?” Madame Lin nudged Bai Zheng with her elbow as she asked hurriedly.
Bai Zheng knew that she loved her daughter very much, so she smiled and patiently observed a few times. Then she pointed at one of the steps and said: “I’ll take this.”
Just as Bai Zheng finished speaking, a woman in blue walked up from behind him. She tyrannically pointed at the step Bai Zheng had chosen just now and shouted, “Waiter, wrap this up for me!”
