Chapter 10
"Are you okay?" Zuo Zihei pulled the stunned Zuo Xiangning out of the man's arms and asked with concern: "Are you injured anywhere?"

"I'm fine." Zuo Xiangning shook her head at Zuo Zimo before saying to the man, "Thank you, Master, for saving me."

"Your Majesty?" Zuo Zimo saw the man opposite him clearly at this moment, and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him with his hands in his hands: "Thank you for saving my little brother just now."

The man's razor-like phoenix eyes looked deeply at Zuo Xiangning, who was wearing men's clothing, and then asked Zuo Zimo: "Who are you?"

"My father is the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs." Zuo Zimo said respectfully.

The man cupped his hands towards Zuo Zimo, "Young Master Zuo, you're welcome."

After saying that, the man flicked his clothes and walked away in a hurry.

"Third brother, who is he?" Zuo Xiangning asked Zuo Zimo quietly.

"The Crown Prince of Zhongyuan Marquis, Ling Xiao." Zuo Zimo pulled her towards a restaurant not far away, "You had a really good idea today, and he didn't kick you away."

"Why?" Zuo Xiangning asked curiously.

"He is the eldest son of Marquis Zhongyuan. He is arrogant, arrogant and rude. He treats those he likes well, but beats and scolds those he dislikes. Even several princes avoid him. "

Zuo Xiangning blinked, "He doesn't look like that, either?"

"What can be seen on the surface?" Zuo Zimo whispered: "But I have arrogant capital. The old lady in the Zhongyuan Hou Mansion is the aunt of the current emperor. She has always been raised in the palace by the emperor. Zhongyuan Hou is even more proud. I have fought with the emperor for many years in the north and south, and have made great achievements in battle."

"Oh." Zuo Xiangning looked back again.

In her previous life, the bodies of her eldest brother and brother-in-law were brought back to the capital by Ling Xiao, the prince of Zhongyuan Hou.

"By the way, he is also capricious and changes his attitude at any time," Zuo Zimo warned again: "Anyway, you should stay away from him in the future."

"Brother Zuo?" Suddenly behind them, someone called Zuo Zimo.

Zuo Xiangning froze slightly and grabbed the railing next to her nervously.

But Zuo Zimo had already passed her and took two steps towards the bottom of the stairs, "Brother Gu, why are you here?"

"I made an appointment with some friends to have dinner together." Gu Zhiqing looked at the petite figure on the stairs with her back to him and asked, "Brother Zuo is also here with his friends?"

"I came with that one, my brother." Zuo Zimo smiled and called Zuo Xiangning, "Little brother?"

"Is it the Fourth Young Master?" Gu Zhiqing walked up to Zuo Xiangning.

Zuo Xiangning had to look up at him, the man she hated so much.

This man has a good skin.

He is in his prime, gentle and elegant, and has a dignified appearance.

But Zuo Xiangning knew that he was just a sanctimonious beast in disguise!

Gu Zhiqing was startled when he saw Zuo Xiangning. She had shaved shoulders, skin like gelatin, beautiful eyes and red lips, as delicate as a rose in bud.

This is a woman.

The folk customs in southern Shanxi have always been open, and it is not a special phenomenon for women to take to the streets. However, women from wealthy families often disguise themselves as men for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

Gu Zhiqing just thought for a moment and guessed who the woman in front of him was.

It's just that he didn't expect that although the fourth girl of the Zuo family was a little fatter, her facial features were so outstanding. No wonder King Qi said that even though she was a concubine, it was not an insult to his second brother.

But the way she looked at him made him a little confused, as if she was hiding a lot of things.

"I originally wanted to introduce a few friends to Brother Zuo. Since it's inconvenient for Brother Zuo, let's talk about it later when we have the opportunity." Gu Zhiqing took a deep look at Zuo Xiangning, nodded to Zuo Zimo, and told them The brother and sister went upstairs first.

After entering the private room, Zuo Xiangning sat on the chair silently. "That one just now was Gu Zhiqing, the eldest young master of the Gu family." Zuo Zimo said enthusiastically, "I heard that his younger brother is similar in appearance to him, and seems to be a little taller than him."

Zuo Xiangning stared at Zuo Zimo with furrowed brows.

"Don't tell me that you don't know about the Gu family coming to propose marriage." Zuo Zimo sat next to her and said with a smile: "Sister, the Gu family is really good, with a simple population and a clean family tradition..."

"Third brother, when did you and Gu Zhiqing meet? Why didn't I know?" Zuo Xiangning asked her doubts.

"The second brother introduced me a few days ago." Zuo Zimo said with some pride: "But he and the second brother have an average friendship, and we can talk to each other very well."

Zuo Xiangning looked at the silly and unscheming third brother, and said patiently: "Third brother, if you don't understand him, it's better to stay away from him."

"He's a prostitute!" Zuo Zimo said enviously, "The emperor has high praise for him."

"Then what if, as your sister, I ask you to stay away from him?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"Okay, okay, I'll stay away from him." Zuo Zimo asked perfunctorily: "What do you want to eat? Shall I order two special dishes?"

Zuo Xiangning looked at Zuo Zimo who obviously didn't take what she said to heart, and secretly became angry.

After the two of them finished their meal and were about to pay, they found that the bill had already been settled by Gu Zhiqing.

"Brother Gu is very particular about his work." Zuo Zimo said to his sister, "I'll go say hello to him."

After saying that, he ran out in a hurry. Zuo Xiangning called him, but he didn't even look back.

After a while, Zuo Zimo came back with a cheerful face, "Those of his friends are all young and promising talents, and they are all worth making friends with. I just said that I bought a barren mountain in Mingyue Mountain today, and they all I’m very interested and even asked me to go and see it together tomorrow…”

Zuo Xiangning's hair suddenly stood up.

Gu Zhiqing is going to Mingyue Mountain?Could it be that he got some rumors?

Seeing that Zuo Xiangning's face was not good-looking, Zuo Zimo hurriedly coaxed her: "Why are you still angry? I won't go with them tomorrow, and I will stay away from them in the future, okay?"

Zuo Xiangning was deeply unhappy, but she also knew that her third brother was loyal and honest, and forcing him to do so would only be counterproductive.

"I'm not angry." Zuo Xiangning said warmly: "I'm just afraid that you will be deceived. On the surface, he is a humble young man, but on the inside he is often quite different."

Zuo Zimo nodded in agreement, "I will be careful."

Zuo Xiangning knew that her third brother didn't really take it seriously, so she warned again worriedly. "Third brother, I like that mountain very much. No matter who wants to take advantage of it, you are not allowed to think of selling it."

Zuo Zimo smiled and nodded, "I know."

When the carriage arrived at the door of the house, the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My good young master and good girl, where have you been? Madam is going crazy with worry!"

Only then did Zuo Xiangning remember that she had thought about the gold mine and ran out in a hurry, forgetting to tell Jiang.

"You didn't tell mother?" Zuo Zimo suddenly wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, "It's over this time."

When Mrs. Jiang saw them entering the house, she scolded her son with a knife in his face: "You are really brave. Your sister is just recovering from her illness, but you took her out for a day. What if something happened? "

"Mother, my daughter is wrong." Zuo Xiangning moved to Jiang, tugged on her sleeves, blinked her big watery eyes, and said coquettishly: "My daughter insisted on the third brother to take her out, and she will never do it again." I don’t dare anymore.”

Seeing her cute little face, Mrs. Jiang didn't want to talk anymore. He raised his hand and touched her forehead. Seeing that she didn't have any fever, he asked, "Where have you been?"

"We..." Zuo Xiangning stepped forward and hugged Jiang's arm tightly, and said with a smile: "Mother, we bought a mountain in Mingyue Mountain. There are hot springs, fruit trees, and rivers there, and we can build a separate courtyard. You can build a farm..."

Jiang looked at their siblings suspiciously and asked, "Buy a mountain?"
