Chapter 77, Hu Ji, please

This meeting is actually a greeting to the Zhang brothers. Obviously, the Zhang family attaches great importance to this matter, otherwise Zhang Qi will not be allowed to follow. Zu Zhao's purpose is to give the Zhang brothers a pre-concept first, that is, he will take advantage of this robbery to make a big move. As for what actions and what are the benefits, there is no need to tell them too clearly now.

After returning from Anyang Pavilion, Bei Guoting has been busy from morning to night.

Neighbors run to each other, follow the call of the patriarch, and gather the extra iron weapons and money and food of the family. The whole big family of the ancestral family is still very united in Xu Wuxian County. The main reason is that Zu Zhao suggested to his grandfather when he was a child that the annual surplus of the ancestral caravan is distributed to every family according to the number of generations and numbers, which can not only unite the hearts of the people and make the whole family grateful, but also make the whole family progress together and appear more family to the outside world. The demeanor can also protect people's hearts.

Therefore, whenever there is a major event in the family, all families need to contribute, only the words of the patriarch, and each family will respond and participate as much as possible in any case. Such unwritten rules have been going on for several years. Although there are not many incidents that need to be mobilized for the support of all family members during this period, there are still a few precedents, so it has become a tradition. It was Zu Zhao's proposal when he was a child that made the elders of the family treat him with new eyes and more and more established his unshakable position as the eldest son in the family.

Zuzuo did not tell his elders before going to Anyang Pavilion, so after returning to Zujiazhuang, he was not in a hurry to report to anyone. Instead, he walked around the backyard, checked the condition of the stables and warehouse, and then met several craftsmen who had just been recruited today. Although the notice was released only one day ago, and the news of Zujiazhuang's recruitment of craftsmen has just been sent out. However, with the statement of Zujia and the precursor of the county turmoil, many craftsmen came immediately after hearing about the fur, for fear of being late and missing this good job.

Most of the craftsmen who have arrived in Zujiazhuang today are familiar people, workers from nearby towns and suburbs. In the past, when you go in and out, you can have a little friendship, and there are only a few famous craftsmen in ten miles and eight townships. In this era, doing such physical work still belongs to a job that can't be put on the facade.

There is a small courtyard in the backyard of Zujiazhuang, which used to be the workshop of Zujiazhuang. Many utensils, stoves and so on are placed here. It's just that it hasn't been used for years and has been covered with a layer of dust. Zu Zhao came to the small courtyard and only took a look at the craftsmen of the village and the craftsmen recruited. He worked together to take care of the upper and lower parts of the small courtyard clearly. The stove was on fire, the utensils were all polished, and the other things were handled in an orderly manner. Immediately, he already knew that he didn't need to think about checking his craftsmanship at all.

When I came out of the backyard, it was dark.

Zu Zhao was ready to return to his residence for dinner. As soon as he entered the gate of the inner courtyard, he suddenly saw a white figure behind the corridor pillar not far away. He subconsciously took a look, but saw that it was the previous Hu girl Gulina. Hu Nv turned her back to the courtyard door, stood on the edge of the corridor, looked at a small pond outside the corridor, and felt a little crazy.

At this time, he just thought for more than 20 days when he went to the county government, and because of the sudden change in the county government, even if he returned to Xu Wu now, he was busy preparing for the theft all day, which really left Hu Ji behind. He was also a little strange. Earlier, Hu Ji still seemed to complain that she had failed to save her companion. In view of the days when she went to the county, the other party should have left by herself.

Naturally, he has no intention of driving people away. No matter what kind of estrangement the Hu people and Han people have, they will be compatriots in future generations. What's more, with Gulnar's current situation, I'm afraid that there is nowhere to go. Once he loses the protection of Zujiazhuang, he will fall into a more difficult situation. After all, a single Hu girl walks in the Han Dynasty, not to mention quite beautiful. You can imagine what the result will be like.

After hesitating in front of the courtyard for a while, Zu Zhao still walked over.

Before she approached, Gulinaer had already heard the sound of footsteps. She turned her head cautiously and took a look. After finding that it was Zu Zhao, the alert on her face restrained a little. However, for some reason, she subconsciously stepped back half a step and hurriedly turned her head away and stopped looking at Zu Zhao.

"How have you been recently?" Zu Zhao was aware of Gulinaer's subtle behavior, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After coming to him, he asked quietly.

"Hmm..." Gulnar sounded like a mosquito. She still lowered her head, and a touch of moonlight reflected on her bronze cheeks through the small pond, outlining a sharp and beautiful outline. She is wearing a white Hanfu, her slightly curly hair spread over her shoulders, and her neck to her chest ** is out, which is a delicious food.

"I can only apologize for the previous promise I made to you. You should have seen that a lot of things have happened recently. Even though I have been to Lingzhi County, I don't have extra leisure to help find out their whereabouts. It's been a long time. I'm afraid that even if I have to look for it now, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Zu Zhao said calmly.

"I know..." Gulinaar's voice was still so low.

"Anyway, you can continue to live here, and I hope you can stay. It's very chaotic outside now. If you leave alone, I'm afraid there will be many inconveniences and even danger. Zu Zhao said sincerely.

"Do you...do you want me to stay?" Gulinaer raised his head and looked at Zu Zhao with blue jewel-like eyes. There seemed to be some doubt in his eyes, but soon a little gratitude appeared.

"Yes. Since I saved you back, I naturally can't help but take care of you. Zu Zhao said very formally.

"Take care of...I..."

"Ha ha, maybe your customs are different from ours. Or to put it this way, we Han people must have a gentlemanly demeanor. You will gradually understand it in the future." Zu Zhao said with a smile.

"I don't want to live with you for nothing. I can do you some favor in return." Hu Ji suddenly became serious, and she looked at Zu Zhao firmly in a trance.

"Oh, isn't it? So, what can you do for me?" Zu Zhao asked with a smile.

"I heard that you, Zu's family, are recruiting more warriors, as if to resist thieves. I'm sure I can help. Although I can't ride a horse, I can use knives and machete. I can help you kill thieves. Gulinaer showed a little excitement. She raised her two small pink fists slightly and put on a gesture of eagerness to try.

"Okay," Zu Zhao thought for a moment. He had seen Gulinaer's knife method and knew that this was not the first time that the other party had proposed such a thing. Maybe that's the Hu people's idea was like this. If he really let him eat and live for nothing, he would not feel safe. So he nodded and agreed, "Well, then it will be your share. However, no matter what happens, you must stay by my side so that I can rest assured.

"Okay, I will stay with you!" Gulinaer was very happy to see Zu Zhao agree to his request, so he did not care too much about the conditions proposed by Zu Zhao.

"I'll say goodbye first. It's cold. You wear less clothes. Go back to your house early. Zu Zhao said with a smile. After saying that, he turned around and left.

When Zu Zhao went far away, Gulinaer looked at his Beijing with a resolute expression on his beautiful face and muttered, "I will stay with you and protect you." The last three words are so weak, but also so tenacious.
