NOVEL NEXT Chapter 216 - New Office (2)
Zuo Shaoqing was completely busy. He couldn't wait to break one day into two and use them. Sometimes, when he was busy to the point of being late, he would directly sleep in prefectural attendent.
Originally, he should have moved into the residence of a new official. However, that house was previously lived in by Lin Zhihao, and after being raided, it became chaotic everywhere. Zuo Shaoqing also did not like the layout, so he had Luo Xiaoliu look for a house in Crane City.
Zuo Xiaolang had been neglected by his father for several days, and his entire being was dispirited and listless. Lu Zheng came back one day and saw him looking pitifully at the door. On the second day, he took his men to the navy camp.
The little guy's energetic side was completely unearthed. Lu Zheng had tested his bones and found out that it was a good material for martial arts training. Thus, he let Yinyi be his master and let him start practicing martial arts at such a young age.
After knowing this, Zuo Shaoqing deeply felt that he, his father, was too irresponsible and worried that Zuo Xiaolang worked too hard practicing martial arts every day. Therefore, he would bring Zuo Xiaolang to the yamen every two days, where there were many civil officials.
Zuo Xiaolang showed great interest in practicing martial arts, and was much more interested in learning how to read and write. After less than an hour of sitting, he began to scuttle around the yamen, putting caterpillars into the Grand Master's teacup and stuffing a land dragon into the boots of the yamen guard.
He grew up in the mountains. He was used to the wild and was very agile. Even if several yamen surrounded him, they still might not be able to catch him.
However, as long as Zuo Shaoqing shouted, he would obediently stop playing around. He crawled into Zuo Shaoqing's arms with both hands and feet, not making any noise and just looking around with his big, black eyes in Zuo Shaoqing's arms.
Zuo Shaoqing didn't really plan to let Zuo Xiaolang go to school so early, so he let him play around. Sometimes, when his subordinates were bullied badly, Zuo Shaoqing pretended to scold him harshly and turned around to apologize gently.
No one would really care about a two or three year old child, not to mention Zuo Xiaolang was not bad. Although he was naughty, he was not willful and was welcomed by everyone in the yamen.
Wang Family spent close to a month's time to finally investigate what had happened that year clearly. After knowing that Wang Zhenhai did indeed have a child who had been stranded outside, coupled with the fact that Zuo Xiaolang was only picked up by Zuo Shaoqing on the way, he was even more certain that the child was of Wang Family's bloodline.
Only nine out of ten times would they not be able to make contact with Zuo Shaoqing and his son. Wang Xu and his son thought this way and decided to take back control of the Wang Family first, this way they would have more confidence.
The moon hung high in the sky. Only then did Zuo Shaoqing come out of the yamen. Zuo Xiaolang had already fallen asleep after a long day of playing. He was carried in Liu Tie's arms.
“Master San, can we not work so hard?” You haven't had a good night's sleep in half a month. ” Luo Xiaoliu complained in a low voice.
He found a three-way house not far from the yamen. It was not as big as Duke Zhen's Qing Lu Garden, but it was elegant. He thought that his Third Master would like it.
However, these days, Zuo Shaoqing was so busy that he didn't even have the time to take a look. Luckily, the original owner of the house knew that Prefect wanted to buy the house and didn't dare to go next time.
“This grandpa has very little experience. If I don't hurry up and show some results, how can I subdue those little foxes?”
“You're Wife of Duke Zhen, who dares to oppose you?”
Zuo Shaoqing laughed and tapped his forehead, “You are thinking too simply. What kind of place is an official's office? What they lacked the most was self-deception. On the surface, there was no use in not daring to offend them. They might even secretly do something small.
Moreover, what I want is to have the entire prefectural attendent in my hands. If I can't even control this small yamen, it will be even harder to order the lower level county officials around.
“You should at least relax your body. Look at how thin you've become.”
Zuo Shaoqing recalled last night that someone also despised his body's worth of bones knocking people down. He retorted in a flustered manner, “This grandpa has grown taller, so naturally I will be thinner!”
“Oh …” Luo Xiaoliu answered perfunctorily and clearly didn't believe him.
Wu Tie snorted. It was unknown whether he was dissatisfied with Luo Xiaoliu or with the man who despised him for not having any meat, but he took the sleeping Zuo Xiaolang and got into the sedan.
Because he was afraid that the sound of the carriage would be too loud at night, he changed his appearance to that of a sedan chair. Moreover, there were four people sitting in a sedan chair.
The sedan was lifted smoothly without any bumps. Zuo Shaoqing looked down at Lil Thing's sleeping face and muttered: “I went to the beach for a few days, but it seems to be dark now.”
As he watched, Zuo Shaoqing started to fight. He leaned against the palanquin and quickly closed his eyes.
A shout came from outside the palanquin, “Who's sneaking around?” Zuo Shaoqing lifted the curtain and asked, “What happened?”
“Master San, I saw someone sneaking around behind us. It seems like he has been following us ever since we left the yamen.”
After a short while, a tall guard came over with a follower. The other party seemed to be trying to explain something.
Zuo Shaoqing thought the voice was familiar. He wanted to get off the palanquin to take a look, but he heard Luo Xiaoliu exclaim, “Why is it you? What is Third Young Master Wang doing with us in the middle of the night? “
“I… “Me, that …” Wang Zhenhai stammered without knowing why.
But how could Zuo Shaoqing not guess the purpose of his visit? He subconsciously looked down at Zuo Xiaolang and coincidentally met with a pair of slightly dazed eyes.
“Daddy …” Zuo Xiaolang was very vigilant, there was no way he could sleep after hearing so much noise outside.
“No problem, go to sleep.” Zuo Shaoqing temporarily ignored Wang Zhenhai. He knocked on the palanquin and instructed, “Let's continue on our way.”
When the sedan was lifted off the ground, Wang Zhenhai stared at the slightly quivering curtain with a burning gaze. He also heard Zuo Xiaolang's call just now. He felt as if something had heavily pounded on his heart, making him numb from the pain.
“Wait!” He stopped Zuo Shaoqing and asked hesitantly, “Can Lord Zuo give this commoner some time?”
Zuo Shaoqing's slightly tired voice came from the palanquin, “It's too late. If you have something to say, come to prefectural attendent tomorrow.”
As a person in the know, Luo Xiaoliu didn't have a good impression of Wang Zhenhai. He pushed him away and quickly left with the sedan.
The palanquin was directly carried into the small courtyard known as Cao Sect. Lu Zheng saw that no one came out after the palanquin landed, and furrowed his brows as he lifted the curtain.
Lightly carrying the father and son out, Zuo Xiaolang opened his eyes and saw that it was Lu Zheng. Immediately after, he closed his eyes in relief.
Lu Zheng laid them on the bed, leaving the smaller one to Luo Xiaoliu to take down, then twisted the handkerchief and gave Zuo Shaoqing a scrub. When he stripped off Zuo Shaoqing's clothes and looked at his attractive body in the lamplight, Lu Zheng's body was unavoidably excited.
Lu Zheng glanced at his lower body which was burning up, then looked at Zuo Shaoqing, who was still unconscious. He helplessly walked to the bathroom and took a cold shower. He only dared to go to bed after his desire had subsided.
Lu Zheng turned sideways and hugged his lover. He touched down as usual. Although he accidentally lit up a fire again, the feeling of his thin hands made him frown deeply.
Ever since Zuo Shaoqing took over the position of Prefect, the two of them had been busy with their own things. He knew this person's character.
After stroking Zuo Shaoqing's thin cheeks with his fingers, Lu Zheng leaned over to kiss him, sighed silently, and then put out the candle flame, hugging him even tighter.
The next day, when Zuo Shaoqing woke up, it was still early in the morning. The bed was still warm, and hugging the human shaped stove in his arms was too comfortable. It made him unwilling to get out of bed, and his body that had not been released for a long time also stood up uncontrollably.
“If I keep nagging you, you won't be able to get up …” Lu Zheng said in a low and hoarse voice.
Zuo Shaoqing smiled coyly and moved his leg away, trying his best to ignore the thing that was pressed against the inside of his thigh. “When did you wake up?”
“He rubbed on my leg so early in the morning, it should be time for the dead to come back to life.” Lu Zheng pulled out his arm that had been pressed down for the whole night and asked while pinching his waist: “Since you're awake …” Should we communicate in depth? “
Zuo Shaoqing answered truthfully: “It's getting late, I might miss the hour.”
Lu Zheng rolled over and pressed him down. He bit his lips and coldly snorted, “No one has set that Prefect must go to the yamen before daybreak, right?”
Zuo Shaoqing's mouth curved into a smile. He put both of his hands on Lu Zheng's shoulders and took the initiative to deepen this kiss. The wonderful feeling of their lips touching each other made his entire body feel hot and dry.
After a long kiss, Zuo Shaoqing put his hand into Lu Zheng's silk pants, pinched it hard and said with a smile, “Since Master Lu has such a need, I should naturally satisfy you first. Who told me that I should be your wife?”
Lu Zheng panted rapidly as he held his hand to increase the speed of his movement. At the same time, he reached out his other hand behind his back.
