Chapter 042 Robber
Lin Zimo walked into Nalan's yard and directly followed Ulan, who sent the message, to the inner room. Ulan, who brought people to him, quickly retreated and gently took it to the door. Lin Zimo, who really kept a certain distance from Nalan, did not appear particularly intimate. It seemed more like a necessary diplomatic negotiation. After all, the two sat down face to face.
Nalanzhen, who felt unsteadfast in his heart, mentioned it again and said, "Just give me a clear answer. Can't we help the people of our tribe build that irrigation and water canal?
Lin Zimo, who felt that he could only speak through to her, did not lose his wit and said, "Since you have opened your mouth to me, I still want to give my woman face. There is no problem to build new canals for your tribe, but the cost and manpower must be borne by you. If you can make the decision, I don't think any doubts should be a problem.
Nalanzhen, who was a little worried, looked at him blankly and said, "Okay, I promise you some of these conditions."
Lin Zimo heard this sentence, and there was really a feeling of crying and laughing in his heart. He obviously did things for her, but it was as if she was dealing with things for herself. Lin Zimo doesn't care about Nalanzhen's way of ranking and has no clear position. If it's someone else, you have to mess things up just by this sentence.
Lin Zimo, who didn't want to stay with her for a long time, had to rush back to accompany Yang Mengqi and said, "If you have nothing else, then I'll go first. Tomorrow, you can ask the people of your tribe to come and discuss the details of the construction of canals with Che Zijin.
Nalan really saw him get up and said quickly, "I asked Ulan to call you over for dinner, and you are not allowed to leave before you eat."
"I've already eaten it." Lin Zimo, who was full of food and drink, smiled and said, "I think it's better to talk about it next time."
Naranzhen, who pretended not to hear what he was saying, stood up in a hurry and shouted that his other close second-class maid, Ula, could be served. Seeing her "enthusiastic" Lin Zimo, she had to sit down first. If he can't eat, he thinks so with the guests. His brief comment on Nalan is that he is too strong to speak.
Lin Zimo still tolerated the waywardness of this beautiful young girl in front of him. After all, beautiful women have the privilege of capriciousness. As a man, it is necessary for him to have a broad mind, so he planned to sit a little longer and saw two maids, Ula and Ulan, who put Qiang's special dishes on the table. Although there was candlelight, I really didn't feel the romance of candlelight dinner. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, when there was no lighting and electricity, dinner was carried out like this every day. Until all the dishes were served, Ula and Ulan bowed with a smile after filling them with a glass of wine.
Nalanzhen, who picked up the glass and dried it in one bite, blushed slightly and said without turning around the bush, "Do you like me?"
Lin Zimo, who just picked up the glass and wanted to "walk" with her, was completely stunned. The wine glass in her hand stayed in the air, and she didn't expect her to confess so boldly. His eyes turned, and he thought that foreign women were really different from Han women. She and Yang Mengqi have already had the crystallization of their love, and she has never asked herself similar words.
After a long time, Nalanzhen didn't see him answer his words. He couldn't wait. His tone was urged: "It's tiring to talk to you Han people. Do you like it or not?
Lin Zimo calmed down a little, raised his hand slightly, drank the wine in the glass, and did not directly answer her, a really difficult question to answer: "I remember that the person you like should be Zhao Wenxuan, not me."
Naranzhen, who did not avoid and dodge, said seriously, "I used to like him. However, I have married you, so I... Now, I want to know if you like me. I might as well tell you that I already like you."
Lin Zimo, who was surrounded by clouds and fog by her, was not proud and happy, but really felt that the woman was fickle and said, "I remember that on the night we got married, you didn't let me get close to you or even draw a knife. Tonight, you told me that you liked me. This also becomes too fast. Dare to ask, what exactly do you like about me?
Nalanzhen, who mentioned the wine pot, filled himself and him with a glass of wine at all, and said, "I feel that my father seems to be right. A man should not only look at whether he is brave or not, but also whether he is smart or not. Not only does he meet the above conditions, but he is also very trustworthy. After all, he abides by the agreement between you and me.
"Your martial arts are strong. Even if I go back on my word and want to hit your crooked idea, I have to beat you. Instead of taking advantage of you, if you are black and swollen, it will make me faceless. Lin Zimo couldn't help laughing and felt the girl's ignorance and innocence about her feelings. She said funnyly, "You are a woman who won't let her go."
After thinking about it, Na Lanzhen felt that what he said was a little reasonable. He laughed proudly and said, "We Qiang women are better than your Han women. Your women are all delicate and weak, but I have the ability to protect myself from unnecessary harm. In my opinion, you Han women should practice martial arts.
Lin Zimo, who sweated coldly on her back, felt that her words were more frightening than a woman's talentlessness. If women practice martial arts one by one and don't let the "successful men" who love to beat their wives and children after drinking a little wine, they can't survive. I didn't take her words seriously and regarded them all as jokes.
"Girls still don't dance with guns and sticks. It's excellent to read a book and embroider a flower. The sword has no eyes, and it is not good to hurt others and yourself. Lin Zimo's heart is still extremely inclined to be a literary woman like Yang Mengqi.
Naranzhen, who curled his mouth, couldn't accept his words in his heart. When she was about to say the argument of a martial woman, Ulan, who pushed the door and entered, walked into the table and told her second wife Chu Hanlu that she wanted to see the master. Lin Zimo, who felt quite surprised, couldn't understand why the little girl came here. Usually, her feet never walk in the direction of Nalanzhen's yard. After all, the bold Chu girl is really repelled and afraid of Nalan, who dances with guns and sticks.
"Call her in quickly." Lin Zimo, who pitied Chu Hanlu, clearly told Ulan to go quickly.
Ulan turned around and took a look at her heroine Na Lanzhen, and saw her gentle gesture, so she boldly invited Chu Hanlu into the house. After a while, Chu Hanlu, who was picking lotus, slowly came in. Seeing that Lin Zimo was here, she showed two rows of snow-white teeth and smiled. Although Chu Hanlu saw a stool next to him, he did not sit down, but jumped behind him, wrapped his hands around his neck, and they were face to face each other.
"I waited in the house for so long and didn't see you come, so I ran to my sister's place to find you. She told me that you came here, so I came here to find you again. Chu Hanlu's mouth said like a cannon.
Lin Zimo gently patted the back of her hand with his hand and asked with a smile, "Why are you coming to me?"
"I want you to sleep with others!" Chu Hanlu, who didn't stop by his brain for a while, said carelessly, "I'm used to sleeping with you, and it's not easy to fall asleep without you."
Ulan stood next to him and covered his mouth with his hand so that he would not make a sound. Na Lanzhen, who was motionlessly, slowly picked up the glass on the table and swallowed the wine in the glass without thinking about it. Cailian stood not far from Chu Hanlu and gently pulled her master's skirt to make her pay attention.
"Why are you pulling my clothes?" Chu Hanlu, who smiled, didn't feel any inappropriate and said, "They didn't lie."
Lin Zimo, who hung up with a smiling face, said slowly, "You go back first. I'll go to your place in a minute, okay?"
Chu Hanlu, who pouted his little mouth, waved his head vigorously and said, "No, absolutely not. Brother Zimo, let's go back together!"
Lin Zimo was stubborn and coquettish. She said to Nalanzhen with an apologetic look and tone, "I'm really sorry. I can only accompany you for dinner another day. I promised you about the canal, and I will never break my promise again.
He got up and took the opportunity to carry Chu Hanlu on his back. Lin Zimo, who didn't wait for Nalan's true reply, walked out of the door happily with her back. The lotus picking who knew etiquette gave Nalan a blessing before parting, and then accelerated his pace to follow. Na Lanzhen, sitting on the stool, suddenly felt that he was an outsider.
"Miss, what do you think of this? We finally invited the master into the yard. Before half an hour, he was invited away by others. However, the construction of new canals in our tribe has finally been settled. Ulan, who was left in the room, carefully stated.
Nalanzhen, who was still silent, kept pouring wine and drinking, and Ula, who came in outside the door, saw the three of them leave and said, "Miss, Mrs. Chu is obviously coming to us to rob people. She pretended to be innocent and confused to confuse and please people.
Nalanzhen, who looked up and drank the wine in the glass, played with the glass in his hand, half closed his eyes and half opened his eyes, and said expressionlessly, "You two don't need to say any more. I can see all these things very clearly.
