C345 Understand

Chief Zhang was really not an old-fashioned person.

Since the two of them wanted it so badly, he wouldn't stand between them.

From beginning to end, Zhang Lin stood at the back without saying anything. When the Chief Zhang said leave, he quietly left.

Walking to a place where no one was around, Zhang Lin could not help but ask, "Big Brother, are you really going to marry your niece to that kid?"

Chief Zhang sighed, "Rui Mei has already made her decision, what else can I say?"

Zhang Lin did not agree, "There are endless wars at the border. As generals, we might be able to get away with our lives at any time. Wouldn't it be a pity if we did not have our nieces by our side?"

The Chief Zhang stopped walking and turned around to look at Zhang Lin, "I didn't agree with Rui Mei searching for warriors back then, but I didn't want her to be widowed at such a young age. I had thought of burying her wherever she died, even after thousands of years, it would still be the same."

"Big brother …"

Zhang Lin wanted to say something, but he could only sigh.

Speaking of which, Big Bro was also an infatuated seed. Sister-in-law's health was not good, so after she gave birth to Rui Mei, she could no longer be pregnant. Who knew how many people gave Big Bro women, but he rejected them all.

You say that Rui Mei is a little girl, but when she marries someone, who can give big brother an incense stick of time?

"Big brother, you are in your prime right now, and sister-in-law has been gone for so many years. Why don't you wait until Rumei marries someone, then marry a concubine and have it continued?"

In the past, he had been worried that he would not be able to take good care of Rui Mei after having a stepmother. Now that Rui Mei was going to be married off, it was time for him to give her another one while he was still alright.

Chief Zhang was startled, then laughed out loud to hide the awkwardness in his heart. He said it as if he was hoping his daughter would marry a little further.

On the other side, Ding Ding and Zhang Ruimei watched them leave.

Zhang Ruimei let out a breath first, and patted her chest, "Aiya, you scared me to death."

Ding Ding glanced at Zhang Ruimei. He had an idea. It was really rare to see a little girl acting in such a manner.

"What's there to be afraid of?" The corner of Ding Ding's mouth rose slightly.

Zhang Ruimei looked at Ding Ding deeply, "I was afraid that you would go back on your words."

She knew that as long as she expressed her attitude, Father would not give up on her.

On the contrary, Ding Ding thought about it the more, and the relationship between the two of them wasn't that deep. She was really a little afraid, afraid that when her father asked his a question, he would feel that his pride had been hurt and refuse.

She thought that the people from the capital all had a proud aura about them, looking at them like she was looking at poor relatives in the countryside. Otherwise, she would have a good impression of the prince Ding Ding was pretending to be.

This was not the first time she saw someone from the capital. The eunuchs from the capital all liked to look out of the corner of their eyes.

Fortunately, Ding Ding did not disappoint her, his performance was neither humble nor arrogant, it could be said to be just right.

She would not be able to stand it if he spoke to her father in a condescending tone, just like the rest of them.

From beginning to end, Ding Ding had respected her and had not been scared by her father's imposing manner.

In the border trials, there were people who liked Zhang Ruimei.

On the surface, Zhang Ruimei seemed to be looking down on her father, but in reality, that was not the case. She knew that it was not easy for her father to bring her up.

The first time someone confessed to her, she felt that she was still young and told him to go with her to meet her father. Before that little soldier even entered the Chief Zhang's camp, he was already scared to the point of peeing his pants.

At that time, Zhang Ruimei's face had changed.

This matter had a huge impact on her, to the point that whenever someone expressed their admiration for her, Zhang Ruimei would immediately push the matter to the Chief Zhang.

Not to mention that the Chief Zhang did not have time to see these people, when these people heard that they were going to meet the Chief Zhang first, eight out of ten of them retreated, but no one could blame them. Sometimes, when they knew Zhang Ruimei and did not know that she was the daughter of the Chief Zhang, after knowing that, they felt that they were not worthy enough, and disappeared without a trace.

The only two were actually going to see the Chief Zhang. It was just that when they were facing her, they could still be considered quick-witted people. After seeing the Chief Zhang, one of them became dull, while the other became a chattering man.

In short, she was satisfied with Ding Ding in every aspect.

Although she was still brooding over the fact that Ding Ding was wearing a mask and lying to her, but after thinking about it again, she couldn't blame him.

Thinking about it another way, if not for this, she might not have known Ding Ding.

This was also their fate.

"Miss Zhang …" Ding Ding called out to Zhang Ruimei.

"Hmm?" Zhang Ruimei agreed as she raised her eyes.

Ding Ding awkwardly coughed, "Um … May I know where Miss Zhang's pavilion is? "

After saying these words, Ding Ding felt that it was a little strange, and immediately said: "Although I don't know where Miss Zhang's pavilion is, I heard that it's nearby."

Why did it feel like he walked past it?

Zhang Ruimei blankly raised her head to take a look, and her face flushed red.

After calming herself down, Zhang Ruimei said honestly, "I want to get to know you a little more. My pavilion is over there, if you're in a hurry to go back, then we'll head back."

"I see." Ding Ding believed it to be true.

Zhang Ruimei looked at Ding Ding. He was actually so gullible.

"Is there anyone else in your family?" Zhang Ruimei asked.

After Ding Ding heard this, his eyes darkened, "I'm an orphan."

After pausing for a moment, Ding Ding continued, "Unless one has exceptional talent, people of our status should be orphans adopted by the imperial government."

It wasn't exactly a secret.

Hearing that, Zhang Ruimei was annoyed, "I don't know, I'm sorry."

Ding Ding laughed, "This is nothing."

The court adopted them, gave them food and clothing, and trained them so that they could die for them in the middle of the night.

They felt that it was very fair. Those who were eliminated early on would have long since known whether they were dead or alive. If they hadn't survived the training and become outstanding, they would have already starved to death on the streets.

Being able to live for one more day was an additional day given by the imperial government.

"In the future, you will no longer be alone. We will have many, many children. I, and my parents and uncles will be your family. You will no longer be alone."

Zhang Ruimei's eyes were filled with tears.

She thought that since she was young, her mother had already left and she was already very pitiful. She didn't expect that Ding Ding was even more pitiful than her.

Ding Ding looked at Zhang Ruimei, wanting to say that he wasn't feeling lonely at all. However, seeing how upset she was, he just silently handed her a handkerchief.

Zhang Ruimei looked up at Ding Ding, only to see him wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

"Ding, I'm here." Zhang Ruimei stopped.

Ding Ding nodded his head, "It's getting late, rest early."

Zhang Ruimei nodded and left with the handkerchief in her hand.

Ding Ding opened his mouth, wanting to say that the handkerchief was his, but no matter what, he could not open his mouth.
