Being a Lady of an Influential Family

"Are you really planning to marry Fu Zheng?" Long Xiao, who came all the way from the Northeast, looked at Zhuo Lin seriously and asked.

Zhuo Lin smiled, nodded and said, "Yes."

Long Xiao still couldn't help but frown, "What do you see in him?"

Zhuo Lin said: "She looks good, has a good personality, and is not annoying."

"Do you think Fu Zheng has a good character?" Long Xiao hesitated as if he heard some joke, "Do we know the same person?" Can Fu Zheng's bad temper be considered a good character?

Zhuo Lin smiled and said, "A gentle personality does not necessarily mean a good one. My temper is also not very good. If the other person is too gentle, he may be offended."

"Isn't that better?" Long Xiao said.

It's better to be offended by others than by yourself.

Zhuo Lin sighed, "No one can be angry with another person for the rest of his life. Would I like someone like my father?"

Long Xiao thought of his cousin whom he had only met twice, and immediately shook his head and understood why Zhuo Lin fell in love with Fu Zheng.

"Aren't you afraid that he will bully you?" Long Xiao said.

Zhuo Lin smiled and said: "Do you think I am someone who will be bullied? Besides, I don't really want to reject him."

Long Xiao couldn't help but smile. If a girl doesn't want to reject a man, it already represents her thoughts, and that's enough.

"I heard that you scared Mrs. Sheng badly before?"

Zhuo Lin smiled and said nothing, and Long Xiao could only shrug and said, "Well, since you have already decided, I won't say anything more. My mother has not been in good health recently, otherwise she would have wanted to come over in person. This is The dowry she prepared for you." Long Xiao pushed two exquisite wooden boxes in front of Zhuo Lin. Seeing Zhuo Lin raise her eyebrows slightly, Long Xiao said, "Your sister asked someone to send this one to the Northeast."

"Are you okay, aunt?" Zhuo Lin asked with concern.

Long Xiao said, "Don't worry, you will inevitably feel uncomfortable as you get older. By the way, your sister is pregnant."

"That's great." Zhuo Lin was also happy in her heart. She knew that her sister had had a difficult time in the Wei family in the past few years. Now that I am pregnant, it will be much easier if I can have a boy left.

The reality is so sad. Even if she claims to be independent, when faced with her sister's affairs, she can only hope that she will give birth to a boy soon so that her life will be easier. And all the way she came to this point, in the final analysis, she just didn't want to end up in the same situation as her sister.

Long Xiao nodded and said, "The Wei family is indeed very happy. The eldest young master of the Wei family is getting worse and worse now. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law can't wait to hold her in their hearts after having this child."

Zhuo Lin said: "I hope my brother-in-law can also be safe." It is best to live a few more years, otherwise my sister will not be able to live well even if she gives birth to a child, an orphan and a widowed mother.

Long smiled and said, "Now you should worry about yourself first. It is rare for the Fu family to agree to let you stay in the capital to continue your studies."

Zhuo Lin said seriously, "I have no intention of giving up my studies and work to get married."

"Then you will be separated from each other for a long time from now on." Long Xiao said.

Zhuo Lin said: "In the past three or four years, I guess. After I graduate, my job options will be much wider. Besides, can you and your cousin be together every day?"

Long Xiao smiled and said, "That's right." People like him and Fu Zheng didn't always stay in one place in their hometown. Even if Zhuo Lin followed Fu Zheng back to Jiangnan, Fu Zheng did not stay in Yongcheng.

Zhuo Lin and Fu Zheng were getting married, so they had to notify the Sheng family as usual.

As expected, Mrs. Sheng was very dissatisfied with Fu Zheng, her son-in-law. What future could a Qiu Ba have who worked under someone else?

The Fu family has some money, but that money is really nothing. It's just that I don't know whether she was frightened by Zhuo Lin or she had given up completely. Mrs. Sheng did not interfere with it, but just wrote a long letter to mock Zhuo Lin.

From Zhuo Lin's ignorance of good and bad, she will definitely end up miserable in the future, to Zhuo Lin's poor vision and choosing a stinky Qiu Ba who has nothing to do without marrying a good and well-known family. When Zhuo Lin disobeys her parents, she never expects that the Sheng family will pay a penny of dowry. Of course, the Sheng family will not ask for a penny of dowry from the Fu family. From now on, they will pretend they don't know each other.

Obviously, they don't recognize this in-laws at all.

Fu Zheng's reaction to this was very dull. He wanted to marry Zhuo Lin and not the Sheng family. According to his temper, someone like Mrs. Sheng would not be able to leave the capital at all. It would be best to treat them as if they didn't know each other.

In this regard, Zhuo Lin's reaction was even more dull.

I didn't even read the letter. I only read a few lines and handed it directly to Fu Zheng.

On the last day of September, the two held a low-key wedding in Beijing.

Because Zhuo Lin refused the Fu family's betrothal gift, the Fu family bought a house in the capital not far from the university as a wedding gift for them. Shortly after the wedding, the old couple returned to Yongcheng.

Zhuo Lin's life has gradually returned to calm. Except for the teachers and students who are familiar with her at school, few people even know that she is married.

Zhuo Lin adapted well to married life. Although Fu Zheng was often away from home, he insisted on taking Zhuo Lin to and from school every day as long as he returned to the capital. Perhaps it was a breakup that was better than a newlywed. Two people with relatively strong personalities rarely had any disputes in their lives.

Zhuo Lin certainly knew that there was a reason for Fu Zheng's deliberate forbearance. If the two of them had any disagreements, they would most likely end up with Fu Zheng taking a step back first.

Zhuo Lin not only enjoys Fu Zheng's tolerance, she also does her best where she can help Fu Zheng. Collect military art books and various weapons from all over the world for him, and help him manage his interpersonal relationships in the capital. There was even a time when a batch of emergency supplies from Fu Zhengjun's army were seized in the capital. Zhuo Lin personally led people with guns to retrieve the supplies, and then personally transported them to the front line and handed them over to Fu Zheng.

Sometimes Zhuo Lin feels that she and Fu Zheng actually started to fall in love after they got married. If Fu Zheng disappeared for a period of time before the marriage, she would just assume that he had gone back to work in the south and not care. But after the marriage, she would often worry about his safety and his temper that would not get along well with others. After being separated for a long time, you will feel lonely and miss when he is by your side. Although we are together less and separated more, it is sweeter than before marriage.

Early winter of the fourth year of Qiming

Winter had just begun but it was already very cold in the capital, so Zhuo Lin went to bed early.

When she was half asleep and half awake, she suddenly heard some noise in the room. Zhuo Lin suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, only to see clearly that Fu Zheng had just walked out of the bathroom under the dim light.

Seeing Zhuo Lin stand up suddenly, Fu Zheng paused and apologized, "Did I wake you up?"

Zhuo Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "Didn't you say it would take some time before you come back?"

Fu Zheng walked to the bed and sat down. "When the matter is over, I came back early."

"Is it over?" Zhuo Lin was a little surprised, "I thought you would be busy for a while. Didn't you say it was very difficult before?" The South is not stable during this period. Last time Fu Zheng wrote a letter, he said it would take at least two or three months. return.

Fu Zheng took her into his arms, lowered his head and took a slow breath. The faint fragrance on her body made him feel calmer and more relaxed.

"If someone changes at the top, it will be over naturally." Fu Zhengdao.

"Xue Huaiming is dead?" Zhuo Lin asked.

Fu Zheng said casually, "He's dead. Wang Derui is now in charge. Arlene, I've been promoted."

Fu Zheng nodded, "Don't worry Arlin. I still have you and my parents to take care of. I won't let myself die early."

Zhuo Lin slapped him on the heart angrily, "Can you speak?"

"Ahem." Fu Zheng coughed a few times, with a look of pain on his face, "Arlin, please be gentle."

"Are you injured?" Zhuo Lin had quickly stood up and pulled open his clothes. Sure enough, there was a wound on his chest that had not completely healed and was still bleeding.

Zhuo Lin was silent for a long time, only to feel anger filling her forehead, "Fu Zheng! You..."

"I was wrong!" Fu Zheng immediately gave up, "Arlin, it hurts... help me bandage it."

"..." Zhuo Lin took a deep breath, "What are you going to do if I don't wake up?"

Fu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Would you like to take care of it yourself?"

"Then you can do it yourself." Zhuo Lin said angrily.

"No." Fu Zheng said confidently, "I can't reach it myself, Arlene help me."

"..."

Logically speaking, Fu Zheng shouldn't have rushed back to the capital immediately after changing his boss. Now that he has voluntarily quit and gone back to the capital to see his wife, it can be regarded as a sideways statement that he has no intention of seeking the top spot.

Because of this, they even took the initiative to give him a long vacation.

Fu Zheng didn't care at all about deliberately spending his time, and happily accepted the paid vacation.

After returning to the capital, Fu Zheng resumed his daily routine of picking up and dropping off Zhuo Lin. In his free time, the couple went out to play in the wild, went shopping together, or just did their own things at home. They felt like a couple of gods.

This surprised some people who were originally not optimistic about their marriage. After all, Zhuo Lin didn't even look at all the famous men in the capital, but she fell in love with a young officer from the south with no background. It makes many people feel uncomfortable. Especially in the past year or so, Zhuo Lin has been officially appointed as a special diplomatic advisor and translator.

Zhuo Lin's coursework has been officially completed this summer, and she will be an official teacher at Beijing University when the fall semester begins. Such a dazzling woman is almost unique in the capital. Her early marriage made many heads of famous families feel embarrassed.

Although Fu Zheng has been promoted and can be regarded as a figure outside, but in the capital, a place where powerful people are everywhere, unless Fu Zheng can truly control a force to dominate one side, he still cannot be ranked. No.

Just like this, the two of them spent less time together and more time apart, and their lives were actually harmonious and sweet. Zhuo Lin often went to places where celebrities gathered in the capital, and she did not show any dissatisfaction with her husband. Fu Zhengyuan was far away in the south. He traveled back and forth between the capital and the south throughout the year without any complaints. He didn't even hear that he was involved with other women.

It is completely different from those generals who even if they have a lovely wife and young children at home, they still have a few beautiful concubines by their side when they are stationed abroad. This shows that it is true love.

After class, Zhuo Lin followed a group of students out of the classroom. As she walked to the door, she heard a classmate next to her whisper: "Teacher Zhuo, is that your husband?"

Zhuo Lin looked up and saw Fu Zhengzheng standing under a tree not far away, waiting for her with his hands behind his hands. She couldn't help but smile and waved to him, and smiled at the students beside her, "Yes."

The student blinked, as if he didn't expect her to admit so generously. He was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhuo and your husband are a perfect match."

More than 90% of the students at Beijing University are still male students. When a girl who looked younger than them came to be their teacher, many students were quite repulsive. After all, being a goddess and being a teacher are two different things. But after two or three months of getting along, the students have adapted well to the fact that they have a female teacher who is younger than themselves.

Because Zhuo Lin is indeed very knowledgeable, and no matter how boring the content is, she can make it lively and interesting. In addition, Zhuo Lin's character is also the reason why students can quickly accept her. She is not weak and won't cry when students bully her, but she is not too tough and will not cause violent backlash from students. As time went by, everyone began to think that there was nothing wrong with having a female teacher.

Although, this teacher is really a bit too young.

"Thank you." Zhuo Lin thanked her calmly. Saying goodbye to the students, Zhuo Lin walked quickly towards Fu Zheng.

In the eyes of the students, these two people are indeed a good match. Students are much simpler and do not have as many interests to consider as adults. In their opinion, Teacher Zhuo is smart, beautiful and knowledgeable, Fu Zheng is handsome and heroic, and he loves his wife. They are indeed a very well-matched couple.

Fu Zheng took the lesson plan from Zhuo Lin, held Zhuo Lin with one hand and walked out, "Are you tired?"

Zhuo Lin smiled and said, "I'm not tired. When did you come? Didn't I tell you that you don't have to pick me up?" In fact, the school is only a few minutes away from their home, so it's really not that far away.

Fu Zheng smiled and said, "There is nothing to do today. I want to see Arlene as soon as possible. By the way, Zhang Bi will invite us to dinner tomorrow at the weekend. Do you want to go?"

Zhuo Lin frowned slightly, "Are you familiar with Senior Zhang?"

"How come I'm familiar with him? I thought you were familiar with each other? I went to see Xiao Zhu today and met him when I came back. He took the initiative to invite me." Fu Zheng shook his head. He really didn't have much contact with Zhang Bi.

Zhuo Lin said: "He was just transferred back to the capital a month ago and said that Prime Minister Zhang was going to have a grandson. I heard that he was planning to move in."

Fu Zheng was startled and quickly understood, "No wonder he wants to treat you to dinner. Isn't it also the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where you are currently posted?"

Zhuo Lin laughed, "Why does he need to treat me to dinner for such a thing?" Zhang Bi is the eldest son of Prime Minister Zhang, so why does he lack her connections?

Fu Zheng thought about it and thought it was right, "So you just want to reminisce about the past?"

Zhuo Lin wanted to say that she and Zhang Bi actually had nothing to talk about, but after thinking about it, she had some suspicions in her heart.

Fu Zheng has become more and more aware of her thoughts over the past year, "What's wrong?"

Zhuo Lin glanced at Fu Zhengdao with a smile, "I guess... maybe it's for His Majesty. The relationship between Prime Minister Zhang and His Majesty has not been very good in the past two years."

Of course, Fu Zheng also knew that Zhuo Lin had a good relationship with Xiao Zhu. He didn't have any suspicion about it, but it was inevitable that he still didn't like Xiao Zhu.

But it happened that his friendship with Xiao Zhulun was actually deeper than that of Zhuo Lin. The two of them had been in the same trench when they were young. Therefore, Fu Zheng had a very different attitude towards Xiao Zhu and had no respect for the emperor at all.

"Are you still going?" Fu Zheng asked. He had always listened to Zhuo Lin when it came to matters in the capital, and he didn't care at all about others secretly talking about his henpeck.

Zhuo Lin thought for a while and said, "It's better to go, Mr. Zhang's face must be given."

Fu Zheng nodded, "Let's go."
