MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 30

But Long Da still asked: "What do you want to ask me?"

It seems that the general is really persistent in what he has decided, but since he has several levels of seniority, Zong Zeqing feels that it is right to let the general.

Before An Ruochen could open his mouth, Zong Zeqing enthusiastically introduced the situation.

Long Da didn't interrupt, just looked at him quietly. As Zong Zeqing talked, he felt that something was not quite right, so he hurried to the end, "Okay, okay, that's how things are."

Long Da still looked at him for a while, then turned to look at An Ruochen.

An Ruochen asked: "The general wants to come in and talk?"

Zong Zeqing suddenly realized that something was wrong. He actually hung the general out of the window all the time.

This is really inappropriate.

"Come in, come in." Zong Zeqing warmly greeted. After the greeting, it feels wrong again, this is Miss An's room, why is he acting like a master?

Zong Zeqing scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly at An Ruochen. An Ruochen smiled back at him.

Long Da looked at the two of them, walked in calmly, and said calmly: "General Zong has not seen him for a few days, and he is more energetic."

Zong Zeqing continued to smile, but he couldn't figure out what the general meant, so it was right to laugh.

"Miss An looks pretty good, she seems to be well taken care of." Long Da continued.

Zong Zeqing hurriedly flattered: "The general will do his best in the end." While talking, he tried to remember, did the general ask him to take care of Miss An?

An Ruochen blinked, General Long actually took care of her like this? Quickly saluted Long Da: "Thank you, General."

Zong Zeqing searched for memories in his mind, it's too bad, it seems that he didn't tell him. He turned to look at An Ruochen, and An Ruochen also turned to look at him, met his gaze, and saluted him: "Thank you, General Zong."

Zong Zeqing waved his hand, looking humble, and took a sneak peek at Long Da, it was really wrong to make up the general's orders, and we can't talk anymore today, so let's run away first.

"I think I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Zong Zeqing ran away, An Ruochen was at a loss.

Long Da sat down on the chair that Zong Zeqing was sitting on just now, but An Ruochen dared not sit down and stood respectfully. Long Da didn't greet her, but only reached out to the teapot on the table.

An Ruochen rushed forward and poured a cup of tea for Long Da. Long Da drank it slowly, put down the cup, looked at An Ruochen, and said nothing.

An Ruochen waited for a while, not knowing what General Long meant. During these days, apart from recovering from her injuries, she was familiar with all kinds of materials given by Xie Gang, and under his guidance, she learned various fine-tuning methods. She felt that she had studied well, and even Xie Gang praised her. She didn't make any mistakes, and she followed the rules in Ziyun Building, and she didn't leave the house a few times. General Long is not here, she thinks she should have nothing to make him unhappy.

Well, she felt that Long Da was not very happy. Although he had no expression at the moment, as usual, but she could sense it—he was not in a good mood.

After a while, Long Da finally spoke and said, "How's the injury?"

"It's all good." An Ruochen replied respectfully.

"Your second sister wants to visit, what are your plans?"

"Since she has the heart, it's okay to meet her."

"Since you have an idea, why did you say you asked me?"

"I work for the general, so I naturally have to obey the general's orders."

"How important is it to meet a younger sister, and you still have to listen to my orders? Then why didn't you come and ask me what I mean when you want to see Aunt Lu?"

An Ruochen choked.

Long Da looked at her, and said again: "Xie Gang told me that you think you are ready and you can go on the mission."

"Yes."

"That's why you said you want to listen to the general even when you see a little sister, you just want to turn a corner and urge me to give orders so that you can go out, right?"

An Ruochen's face became hot, it was true.

"Miss An, is it okay for you to have some cunning thoughts on General Ben?"

An Ruochen hurriedly said: "I shouldn't, I won't dare in the future."

"I really can't think of anything. There are things you dare not do."

"..." An Ruochen felt that the general had a bit of a temper today. It's not a good day to talk to the general.

"In a hurry to go out, do you want to find your sister by yourself?"

"Yes." An Ruochen didn't dare to make up some high-sounding words. The spies from Xie Gang hadn't found any clues to An Ruofang's whereabouts. She was uneasy. Although she knew that the hope was slim, she would not be better than the spies by herself. But always hope to do it yourself.

"What do you think the chances are that she will be kidnapped by Xi Zuo?"

An Ruochen pursed her lips and remained silent.

"You know it's impossible."

"After all, there is hope." It was better to be kidnapped by the spy and wait to threaten her than to die already. She has not seen the body, she does not know the truth yet, and she will never give up.

Looking at her, Long Da seemed to sigh, and said, "Sit down."

An Ruochen sat down. "General, Dr. Wei said that my health is fine, and Mr. Xie also thinks that I have improved in my studies." The implication is that she can really go out and do things for the general.

"How did you grow?"

An Ruochen was taken aback, how is her condition, Xie Gang must have reported to Long Da in detail, if Long Da asks like this, is it possible that she has to praise herself?

Just praise it.

An Ruochen cleared his throat and said how hardworking he was, he knew all the materials by heart, and even used the word "photographic memory" exaggeratedly. He also said that he was good at observing. He had seen the faces of his father and aunts at home since he was a child, and he had to judge whether something happened in each room of the house from the expressions and attitudes of the servants, so he practiced the ability to observe faces. After some guidance from Mr. Xie, I will be more diligent.

In addition, she is good at eloquence, and there are many people in and out of the family. She is alone with Aunt Lu as a helper. It has also been proved that her judgment is correct, and Aunt Lu is indeed reliable. I also thank my lord for designing many scenarios, and also arranged some people in the courtyard to show certain situations for her to observe secretly. She can judge accurately in all likelihood.

There are also secret codes and code words commonly used by secret agents, various methods of calling for help, how to choose retreats in different environments, etc., she has learned them thoroughly. In fact, it has only been a few days of learning, but she just used the word "transparent". Since you are boasting, let's praise it harshly.

An Ruochen boasted cheekily while observing Long Da carefully. After she finished boasting, Long Dao said: "Miss An is really generous with her compliments."

It sounds like General Long is in a better mood? An Ruochen replied solemnly: "Every sentence is true, so naturally I have a clear conscience."

Long laughed.

With this smile, all the seriousness on his face melted away, as if a warm breeze was blowing into the room. An Ruochen was looking at Long Da's eyes. When he laughed, his eyes were slightly curved, and there was a thin line at the end of his eyes. And his voice was deep, smiling, and soft: "Is it okay for the girl to be so cheeky?"

An Ruochen's heart was pounding, she suddenly lowered her eyes not daring to look at him again, her face became hot. She pursed the corners of her mouth tightly, sat upright with a straight posture, and tried her best to show a "clear conscience".

Long Da looked at her, laughed again, and said, "If you hadn't blushed and hadn't averted your eyes, your previous argument would have been more convincing. Miss An, it's obvious that your skills in dealing with various situations of characters are not up to the mark .”

An Ruochen: "..."

When he looked up, Long Da's face was serious again.

An Ruochen almost counted from one to ten to calm down. General, is it right for you to be so unpredictable?

An Ruochen calmed down, and said calmly without changing his face: "The girl has been taught. The general is wise and wise. With the general's guidance, the girl will definitely improve."

"En." Long Dazheng nodded, "Don't neglect the ability to flatter."

"..." An Ruochen counted to five, and continued to say solemnly without changing his face: "Men girls must work hard."

"Very good. So what do you think of General Zong?"

An Ruochen was taken aback for a moment, the topic changed, what would she think of Zong Zeqing. What is the purpose of asking this question?

"General Zong is young and promising, he is a pillar of the country."

"He gets along very well with you."

"General Zong is warm-hearted, kind and upright. I am grateful to General Zong."

"En." Long Da nodded.

An Ruochen waited for him to continue, but he was speechless.

An Ruochen waited and waited, unable to figure out what Long Da was thinking, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Miss An is quite impatient." Long said.

An Ruochen quickly straightened his face: "The general is right to criticize."

"I see that General Zong is quite happy with you. What do you think?"

An Ruochen was a little dumbfounded, the difficulty of the exam was getting more and more difficult. "I can't thank General Zong enough."

"General Zong hasn't married yet."

"..." This time An Ruochen was slightly dumbfounded. He is unmarried, so what does it matter to her?

Ah, yes, you can't blush, you can't look away, just now you just couldn't hold your breath and were picked on by the general.

An Ruochen looked directly into Long Da's eyes steadily, and replied: "General Long's concern for General Zong, I believe General Zong must understand, and I am grateful."

Long Da looked at her, and An Ruochen also looked at him. The general's face seemed to be relaxed, his eyes were soft, not as severe as when he first entered the room.

An Ruochen felt relieved, General Long's mood improved, he must be pleased with her progress.

At this moment, Long Da spoke again: "You need an identity. Otherwise, you won't be able to justify yourself outside, and you won't be able to accomplish anything."

An Ruochen cheered up, did you agree with her to go out?

"What kind of identity do you think is appropriate?"

An Ruochen thought about this question, and quickly answered: "General, a girl from the people is willing to serve the general. In Ziyun Tower, the general still lacks a nurse in charge of the backyard. Although I am young, I have also been taught at home. I know all kinds of things in charge of the house and the courtyard, I can read and write, I can calculate accounts, I know how to train servants, and I can do everything that stewards and mother-in-law can do."

"Nurse? Mother-in-law?"

An Ruochen didn't pay attention to Long Da's expression, and continued to speak loudly: "If I can be the nanny in charge, I can go out in the name of handling chores, shopping, etc., and I can get in touch with maids, servants, and people of all kinds in the market, so that I can give my secret workers The opportunity to get close to me. Since I am the nanny in charge, Xi Zuo thinks that I have some power in the backyard, can manage the daily affairs of the adults, have access to information, and have value for use."

An Ruochen spoke clearly and logically what he had thought up. Why, she tried her best to get rid of the marriage contract and become a witness for the crime, but it is not easy to make a wishful thinking. The clues she can provide are too few, which offends the general, and instead becomes a body to take the blame. She couldn't leave the military's supervision, and she was of little use for the time being. In order to avoid being punished, she took the initiative to ask for orders to help Steward Fang with some chores.

She is clever and smart, and once lived in a big mansion, she knows how to advance and retreat, handles trivial matters, and can win over and curry favor, and finally won the trust of the adults. General Long allowed her to be served by maids and women, and entrusted her to take care of the adults' daily services and other matters. Although she became a servant, she was quite satisfied with her safety and security. But this is not a long-term solution, and she needs to make some proper arrangements.

An Ruochen finished speaking in one breath, looked carefully at Long Da, and added: "Of course, this is just my own idea, and everything should be obeyed by the general."

As a result, Long Da was very happy. "That's fine. From today on, you will be the steward of Ziyun Building."

The words "mammy and mother-in-law" are automatically ignored.

"I will ask Steward Fang to teach you how to take care of the daily chores in the building and manage the servants. Li Changshi will handle military affairs such as guard arrangements, patrol affairs, military newspaper pick-up and delivery, and office affairs. If you need the cooperation of the backyard steward Yes, you must obey his orders."

An Ruochen was overjoyed, and her heart was full of satisfaction from the affirmation. A "yes" should be loud and crisp.
