In the snowy field, Zhang Zhuo helped Zhang Xia remount his horse and patted Zaozao's cheek, "Thanks to you, from now on you will be considered a great hero of the Zhang Family. When we get back, I'll have the steward find you a mare..."
Zhang Xia glared at him, "Father, what are you saying?!"
Zhang Zhuo laughed heartily, "It's the natural order of things, what's not to be said?"
Chen Ji watched this scene, reflecting, "Everyone says Lord Zhang is greedy, which may not be true, but they say he's lecherous, which might not be false... However, I see that he truly loves Second Miss Zhang. He's still in his official robe, probably was at the government office when he got the news and came rushing here without stopping."
Zhang Zhuo laughed loudly, "The one who knows me, is Chen Ji."
Chen Ji suddenly asked, "Lord Zhang, this horse is exceptionally spirited. I heard Second Miss Zhang say it was brought back by Deputy Director Xu Shu from the Observatory?"
