That night.
Located in the Zhen Mansion in the northwest urban area.
Zhen Jiang was taking her sister to take a bath.
The two sisters were sitting together in a huge bathtub. Zhen Jiang leaned on the edge of the bathtub with her back half submerged in the water, revealing her white and delicate shoulders and her slender swan-like neck.
And Zhen Mi is too young.
If you sit down completely, it will easily reach your shoulders and neck, and even wet your hair.
Therefore, the little girl is currently leaning on her sister and sitting directly in Zhen Jiang's arms.
Maybe the water temperature in the bucket is slightly higher.
In addition, the indoor doors and windows are closed and blocked by screens.
Therefore, as the heat rose, the faces of the two sisters soon turned red.
Little Ah Mi's round and chubby face really looks like a bright red apple, which makes people want to bite into it and slurp it twice.
As Zhen Jiang was sitting in the bucket, she was also busy bathing her sister. With all her movements, the water vapor and heat rushed up at the same time.
From time to time, a few droplets of steam condensed on the face that was as lubricated as gel would slowly slide down the cheeks, and then drip down from the chin.
But in the process of falling straight.
However, it was blocked by some protruding stone pillars and fell onto them, falling into eight petals.
"Sister, I'm going to finish bathing later. I want to go to bed early. Why don't I stop reading before going to bed today?"
Zhen Jiang was wiping Zhen Mi's body.
Suddenly I heard these words.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then refused calmly: "No!"
"Reading an article before going to bed is something we have agreed on a long time ago, and it is also a habit we have developed all along. If we take one night off today, we will have another night off tomorrow."
"Then if things continue like this, won't this habit become useless? You should just do what you need to do honestly and don't play tricks with your sister!"
…
Zhen Jiang is the eldest of the five sisters.
In front of all the sisters, he has always been quite majestic, which means he has a one-to-one existence.
In the past, Zhen Mi would never have dared to play tricks with her sister and cause such troubles.
But the scene may be different today.
The two sisters are getting close to each other.
Zhen Mi's courage rarely grew stronger.
"No, sister!"
"Good sister, just let me rest for the night. I have a headache, feet, eyes, and I feel uncomfortable everywhere today!"
While talking.
Zhen Mi was still twisting her body desperately.
There were ripples in the bathtub, bringing up three or two water splashes.
Suddenly, I was attacked by my sister like this.
Zhen Jiang couldn't help but screamed in surprise.
The cheeks, which were already rosy due to the heat, were even more rosy at this moment.
But after reacting.
But he couldn't help but pat Zhen Mi on the shoulder, and then scolded her softly.
"You girl, please calm down. If you move around again, I think you have a headache and leg pain. Sister, I want you to experience the pain in your butt!"
The two sisters were laughing and playing.
While taking a bath.
The progress is not slow at all.
But just after taking a bath, Zhen Jiang wiped the water droplets off Zhen Mi's body.
Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door outside the house, and then the maid was heard reporting.
"Miss, General Cao is here to pay a visit!"
Zhen Jiang was immediately shocked.
But I didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.
After wiping the water off her body, she immediately ordered the maid to come in and change her clothes. After doing some makeup, she took her sister to the front hall.
…
At this moment, Cao Ang was sitting in the living room.
He was holding a tea bowl in his hand and had not moved for a long time. His eyes seemed to be staring into space, and his thoughts had obviously wandered to where he didn't know where to go.
Cao Ang was thinking about something.
That's what he should say later?
I always feel that it is a bit weird to tell a girl directly from the beginning that I am going to marry you.
But think about it carefully.
There seems to be nothing wrong with it.
It's not like he said this the first time they met, nor did he forcefully rob a girl from the countryside, but he built it on this basis after several in-depth exchanges, so it seemed natural to say so.
At the moment when Cao Ang's thoughts were racing.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall from far to near.
Not long after.
Then he saw the young girl holding a young girl in front of him, all wet and moist.
Among them, the girl was wearing a dark dress with a white background and red edges. Her hair was simply tied up with a hairpin, her lips were just a touch of pink, and she didn't apply any rouge. She was perfectly dressed before going to bed.
There are a few strands of hair on the forehead, hanging directly on both sides of the cheeks, and because the water vapor on the body is not dry, it sticks to it slightly, which is very charming.
This is especially true for Zhen Mi.
The buns that she usually wore in the past were all hanging down at this time, and she was also only wearing a simple golden skirt.
The two girls are Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi.
Seeing the appearance of the two girls, Cao Ang couldn't help but be startled, but he quickly reacted.
have to!
We bumped into someone taking a shower!
…
as expected.
Cao Ang just stood up.
I haven't even had time to salute and say hello.
Then he heard Zhen Mi yelling at the side: "Brother, it's disrespectful for you to come to the lady's house to visit me in the dead of night!"
"Besides, my sister and I were still taking a bath. When I heard that brother, you were coming, we didn't even have time to wipe off the water stains on our bodies. We were really in a hurry!"
Tongyan is like this.
Sometimes children dare to say things that adults dare not say. She has no scruples at all, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with saying this.
Besides, Zhen Mi is also smart.
She knew that whoever favored her would not accommodate her, so in front of Cao Ang, it was okay to be presumptuous.
It was exactly what she thought.
After hearing this.
Cao Ang quickly apologized to the two girls.
"It's really a big event that happened unexpectedly. I had to come here overnight to tell Miss Zhen Jiang that I was presumptuous and abrupt. I hope you'll forgive me!"
In fact, the fact that Cao Ang chose to come at this time does not mean that he is ignorant of etiquette and has no scruples.
In fact, we have to take Zhen Jiang to see his father, Cao Cao, tomorrow. If we wait until the next morning to tell this matter.
That would seem a bit disrespectful.
It's as if they regard Sister Zhen Jiang as someone who can come and go as soon as they are called upon, and is dispensable.
In order to avoid such a situation.
Only Cao Ang would choose to come here overnight.
And after stopping his sister with his eyes.
Zhen Jiang saluted Cao Ang in return.
"General, what you said is serious. It must be a big deal for you to come here in person in the middle of the night. How can I be offended?"
"I just don't know what it means?"
…
Cao Ang did not answer immediately.
Instead, he sat down with Zhen Jiang first.
Then he let Zhen Mi play alone.
Then I thought about it all in my mind, and after thinking about it for a while, I finally made my debut.
"Miss Zhen Jiang should also know that today my father led his troops north and arrived in Yecheng."
"I haven't seen my father for a long time since I took office as the prefect of Dongjun, so today he focused on understanding my situation."
"The rest is fine. I just mentioned Miss Zhen Jiang in my words and explained some circumstances. Therefore, my father asked me to take you to see her tomorrow."
Zhen Jiang didn't understand at first.
But in an instant, he woke up.
Isn’t this just meeting the parents?
Suddenly, the girl's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
But before the words are clear.
Still need to stay calm.
Therefore, Zhen Jiang gently bit her pink lower lip at the tip of her teeth, then pretended to be confused and said.
"Your Majesty is the shepherd of a state and has a distinguished status. It is my honor for me to accompany the general to visit you. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it."
"I just don't know, General, what did you say when you mentioned me, so that your father would do this?"
…
"Ahem!"
Cao Ang coughed twice.
Then he thickened his skin and put on a calm, calm and distant look.
"To be honest, I told the old man that although I have gained a lot from going north to Wei County, no matter whether it is talents, territory or money and food, it is not enough."
"For me, the real greatest reward is that I met the woman I love and the person I want to spend my life with in the land of Weijun."
"As the eldest son in the family, after my father learned the news, he naturally regarded it as a top priority, so I must invite you to see him!"
The words just fell.
Zhen Jiang's snow-white and delicate face suddenly turned crimson.
A hint of shyness suddenly appeared on the originally elegant and indifferent face, and his eyes kept wandering, not daring to look directly at Cao Ang.
Both hands were holding the sleeves on one side and the corners of the clothes on the other, and the remaining fingers were twisted together, which vividly demonstrated the inner peace of the owner.
Although Zhen Jiang has always been quite resourceful and has the ability to remain calm and calm whenever big things happen.
With her calm and calm personality, it is difficult for her to be panicked by ordinary things.
But the situation is different now.
As a woman who had stayed in her boudoir for more than ten years, someone suddenly jumped out and said that he wanted to marry her, and asked her to go with her to meet her parents.
The most critical part is.
This man who suddenly jumped out was very good, and I had a good impression of him.
This way.
How could it not make her excited?
So no matter how hard you pretend to be calm.
It’s hard to hide my inner reaction.
…
After a period of emotional upheaval.
Zhen Jiang finally calmed down.
"Hiss...hoo!"
After taking a deep breath, the girl put on an extremely serious look, and then asked solemnly.
"Please forgive me for speaking bluntly, but I would like to ask the general whether your words are true or false, and how much of them come from the heart?"
"First of all, no matter what, I will definitely visit Duke Cao, but General, do you really want to marry me, or do you just want to explain it in front of your father and let me deal with it."
"The two are completely different, so I want to find out clearly."
Even if it is based on the interests of the Zhen family.
Being able to become Cao Ang's wife is of great benefit to the family.
Zhen Jiang's previous contacts with Cao Ang also made her quite fond of General Cao.
But she still wanted to figure this out!
And after hearing this inquiry.
Cao Ang also faced Yi Su.
He said to Zhen Jiangyan very solemnly: "Miss Zhen Jiang, don't get me wrong. Since I am not married at this age, you should know that my father doesn't have much control over me. I rarely need to explain or deal with it. Make a special trip to do something.”
"If I wanted to deal with it, why wait until now?"
"Applying to the Zhen family, marrying Miss Zhen Jiang, and making a lifelong promise together are exactly what I want from the bottom of my heart. This is my own choice!"
"I wonder if Miss Zhen Jiang is willing to marry me?"
In fact, men and women in this era get married.
Usually through a matchmaker.
Or an introduction arrangement between parents and elders.
There are not many cases directly initiated by men and women.
It's just that Cao Ang's status is growing day by day, and his way of thinking is different from others.
Therefore, as long as he doesn't commit any major taboos, he can do whatever he wants.
…
There are no touching words.
There are no provocative words.
But it is this clear and straightforward content without any fancy words, but it is full of sincere meaning.
Zhen Jiang softened in an instant.
There was even more tenderness and sweetness in my heart.
She was already as gentle as water, but now she was making ripples and splashing into layers of waves.
He was still wandering around, not daring to look directly into Cao Ang's eyes, but now he was staring straight at him.
His eyes were full of splendor.
Like a stream of autumn water, the affection is so strong that it is about to turn into reality. Cao Ang stares closely, as if Cao Ang's figure is deeply imprinted in his mind.
A long time passed.
Zhen Jiangcai nodded heavily.
"I am willing!"
These four words seem to weigh as much as a thousand pounds.
After the red lips were slightly opened and the embroidered mouth was softly spitting out.
Zhen Jiang seemed to be relieved and quickly turned his head to the side. He was quite shy and did not dare to look at Cao Ang again.
…
And after getting a satisfactory answer.
A brimming smile immediately appeared on Cao Ang's face.
Just when he was about to say something.
Suddenly a small head appeared next to him.
"Brother, are you going to marry your sister? Then will I call you brother-in-law from now on?"
The person who spoke was none other than Zhen Mi, who had been sent aside to play but somehow sneaked back.
At this moment, the little girl's face was full of surprise.
At the same time, there is a bit of curiosity mixed in.
And Cao Ang heard this.
He couldn't help but reach out his hand and stroke it gently. Zhen Mi's silky hair was covered with soft hair after bathing.
Then he smiled and said: "That's true. From today on, you can call me brother-in-law!"
Zhen Mi's big eyes blinked wildly, and her eyeballs rolled around twice.
Lift up a little face.
He asked slightly playfully: "Brother-in-law, if you marry your sister, will there be any benefit to me as the younger sister?"
The words are spoken.
Cao Ang couldn't help but chuckle.
He is really a big kid.
But he has the best way to deal with such children, as long as he pays attention to prescribing the right medicine.
…
Cao Ang immediately scratched Zhen Mi's nose.
Then he said in a serious tone: "There are many benefits, such as giving you a few more playmates, or taking you to Dong County to experience different scenery."
"But the biggest advantage is that after your sister comes here, she needs to take care of the affairs of the house. She won't have so much time to take care of you in the future. I can only let me arrange your study and coursework for you!"
When she heard the first half, Zhen Mi didn't have much reaction, but when the second half came out, the little girl's eyes suddenly widened.
The whole person became excited.
"Great!"
"Brother-in-law is the best!"
"Sister, please hurry up and get married. Little sister, I totally agree!"
The little girl sold her sister without hesitation in exchange for a cake painted by Cao Ang.
I don’t know if I made a profit or a loss.
…
For this childish joke.
Neither of them took it seriously.
But the atmosphere in the hall now has become a little strange.
Before Cao Ang expressed his feelings.
Zhen Jiang could also chat and laugh with him openly, talk about the past and the present, point out the heaven and earth, analyze the situation in the world, and speak freely about the big and small things that have happened recently.
However, now there is a breakthrough in the relationship.
He became less generous.
Even looking at Cao Ang and speaking a few words normally seemed very difficult.
Seeing such a situation.
Cao Ang was also unwilling to stay here and create an awkward atmosphere.
He simply stood up and said goodbye to the two sisters.
Before going out.
Cao Ang said to Zhen Jiang, "I will send someone to pick you up early tomorrow morning."
"As for my father, you don't have to be too nervous. He can't change what I have decided. Tomorrow is just a meeting and a few words. Just relax!"
Zhen Jiang nodded heavily.
She is not someone who gets nervous easily.
Under Cao Ang's comfort, he was even more high-spirited about tomorrow's meeting with his parents, overcoming his so-called anxiety.
"General, don't worry..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cao Ang raising his hand.
"General is just a passing name."
"Before you and I get married, just call me by my cousin!"
Zhen Jiang's cheeks turned slightly red again.
She felt like she blushed more times today than in the past few years combined.
"I know...I know, Zixiu!"
The last two words are a bit soft, but it is precisely this gentle and graceful tone that makes people feel extremely comfortable in their ears.
Finally, I said goodbye to the two sisters.
Cao Ang then left Zhen Mansion.
