Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 213 I Don’t Believe I Can’t See Him

"…My last name is Zhang. I am still unmarried, so I am sorry that I cannot tell you my name. I came here today because I want to ask Lord Gu for advice. I wonder if he is at home?"

When Feng Ze heard this answer, he sneered in his heart.

"Looking for Master Gu? He's not here!"

"Not here?" Zhang Qiongsi was stunned and blurted out subconsciously, "Didn't Gu Zhouzun go out of the city for inspection in the afternoon? Did he go out in the morning?"

Otherwise, how come they hadn't seen him after waiting here for two hours?

Feng Ze suddenly turned his head and stared at her, "You actually secretly inquired about the whereabouts of the adults?"

"Tell me, who are you and what do you want from Master Gu?"

Feng Ze was a man who came from a military camp. He already had a murderous aura about him, and his face looked stern at the moment, which made him quite scary.

"me……"

Zhang Qiongsi hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.

Seeing her like this, Feng Ze understood.

It was just as he had thought.

This woman must be trying to take this opportunity to get close to her master.

Gu Yichuan is young and promising, with outstanding appearance, so it is normal for him to be admired by these girls. She is not the first one who tries to get close to her master.

But he just couldn't figure it out.

The woman in front of him, no matter how he spoke or behaved, seemed like a girl from a respectable family, otherwise she wouldn't even refuse to tell his name. But why was she blocking the door and trying to harass a married man?

Are you possessed by a demon?

Thinking of his master's love for his wife, Feng Ze felt from the bottom of his heart that no one else had a chance.

"If you can't tell me, please go back. The prefectural government is not a place where just anyone can come."

Feng Ze said this and was about to leave.

Zhang Qiongsi was anxious, and said hurriedly: "I really have something to ask the governor in person!"

Feng Ze patiently asked, "Okay, even if you really have something to do, I don't know if it's official or private. If it's official, please go to the government office to register and handle it according to the regulations. If it's private, how can I help you pass it on if you don't explain it clearly?"

"This……"

Zhang Qiongsi was still hesitating whether to say it out loud, but Feng Ze had already walked around them.

"Girl, what should I do?"

Anko asked worriedly.

"You're still asking!" Zhang Qiongsi glared at her. "Whenever you encounter trouble, you just hide away. What use do I have for you?"

She stormed off to the street, Anko hurried to follow.

Seeing that her daughter looked unhappy, Hongdou took out the bun she had been holding in her arms and asked carefully, "It's still hot, would you like to have some buns, girl?"

"Eat whatever you want!"

Zhang Qiongsi was so angry today that he had no place to vent his anger. He took the bun and threw it to the ground, then stepped on it twice.

"You never think about how to become your daughter's right-hand man and help me with things, and you only know how to eat!"

"I'm going to deduct your dinner today, let's see if you're still greedy!"

Hongdou looked like she wanted to cry but had no tears. She begged pitifully, "Girl, please don't. Hongdou is wrong..."

It was that vicious subordinate who refused to tell Gu Zhouzun's whereabouts. What does it have to do with her?

Otherwise, it was that Gu Zhouzun went back on his word. He said he would go out in the afternoon, but he left early in the morning, leaving them with nothing!

"...If you don't want this bun, I'll eat it!"

The master and servant were one angry and the other trying to comfort each other, when suddenly a voice came.

A beggar ran over from not far away, picked up the bun that Zhang Qiongsi had stepped on several times on the ground, patted the dust off it with a look of regret, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

“This can’t be eaten…”

After seeing clearly that the other person was a beggar, Zhang Qiongsi's words were stuck in his mouth. He glared at Hongdou with some annoyance and took out a piece of change and gave it to her.

"It's all your fault. Why don't you go buy him ten more buns?"

Hongdou chuckled, "My girl is the kindest!"

The beggar had been hungry for years, and although the sand and mud on the buns were a little bit abrasive to his teeth, he was lucky to have something to eat. He never expected that the two girls who threw away the buns would actually buy him ten buns.

Eat it sparingly, it’s enough for him to eat for four or five days!

He held an armful of buns and watched the two of them leave with profuse gratitude.

Listening to the words of gratitude coming from behind, Zhang Qiongsi sighed, "Yongzhou is already a prosperous place, but there are still many beggars on the streets. I wonder how it is in other places?"

Hongdou looked sad, "It's not so bad in Jiangnan, but I heard that in the north, people freeze to death every winter!"

Zhang Qiongsi looked compassionate and shook his head. "I used to envy the fact that it often snows in the cold winter in the north, but I didn't know that the white snow could also bring disasters to people. I used to regret that my father was exempted from the imperial decree to be transferred to the capital, and even I had no chance to go to the capital. But now I think that no matter how desirable the white snow is, it is not as important as peace in the world and prosperity for the people."

"and--"

There was a hint of shyness in her smile, "I believe that Gu Zhouzun will definitely make Yongzhou a better place."

Now she doesn't want to go to the capital at all.

Anko nodded in adoration, "What the girl said is right!"

Zhang Qiongsi's eyes were determined. "If it doesn't work today, come again tomorrow. I don't believe I won't be able to see him!"

"Ah, you're coming again?"

Hongdou couldn't laugh anymore.

Zhang Qiongsi pulled her ear and said, "Behave yourself tomorrow, or I'll deduct another dinner from you!"

"Don't do that. I'll just listen to the girl!"

The two returned to Zhang's house quarreling. They had been out for so long that they were questioned by Mrs. Zhang when they got home. Zhang Qiongsi simply evaded the question by saying that she had been shopping.

Today she caught a cold from the wind and sneezed several times after dinner. In order to prevent Hongdou from being punished by her mother, Zhang Qiongsi, who never eats ginger, endured the nausea and drank a large bowl of thick hot ginger soup.

Hongdou was so moved that she almost cried.

"Girl, tomorrow I will lead the charge and rush in front of you!"

Zhang Qiongsi nodded with relief, "Okay, then we'll go to the state government office to stop him tomorrow."

"Ah? Kekeke, but, aren't you afraid of meeting the master?" Hongdou was dumbfounded.

"Just stay hidden. Besides, didn't you say you should lead by example? If dad finds out, he'll say you were there to pass on a message for me!"

"Okay, okay."

……

The next day.

After Zhang Tongzhi went to the yamen to do his work, Zhang Qiongsi also went to her mother's room early in the morning, ate with her, talked to cheer her up, and did needlework for a while. Her well-behaved appearance made Mrs. Zhang praise her again and again, and she was overjoyed.

When Zhang Qiongsi said he wanted to go out for a walk again, Mrs. Zhang naturally agreed.

Having achieved her goal, Zhang Qiongsi took Hongdou and waited outside the yamen. She knew the time when the yamen closed, so she arrived neither too early nor too late. Not long after she arrived, she saw people coming out of the yamen one after another.

Hongdou had sharp eyes and spotted Gu Yichuan at a glance.

"Girl, here it comes!"
