Chapter Seventy-One: Asking for Marriage

Huang Jinzhu silently watched his master and this Cheng girl talk and laugh on the side, and when the two got along, they seemed to be close and natural as close friends who had been friends for many years. He quietly sweated in his heart for this girl who spoke without taboos and without concealment, don't look at his master who looked down on last year's young face, in fact, he was not a good person. Let's take the ambitious eldest son in the palace as an example, I just think that the master is a young man who is easy to bully, and when the old master is seriously ill and the young master is not around, he moved some thoughts that should not be there, and the result is ...... was so pitted by the master that there was not even scum left.

Cheng Qiao hooked her finger at Zhu Xing, and when Zhu Xing obediently leaned her head over, she asked softly: "You came all the way from Guangyuan to Taowu Town to find me, won't you just say that you are talking to me about these nonsense words?"

Zhu Xing laughed, opened the folding fan in his hand, and shook it a few times in a pretentious manner before arching his hand: "According to the girl's opinion, what is the matter here?"

Cheng Qiao rolled his eyes and replied, "How can I guess the thoughts of you magnates......?"

"Don't, don't!" Seeing Cheng Qiao's face tense and there was a tendency to turn his face with himself, Zhu Xing hurriedly put away the fan and begged her for mercy, "Isn't it okay to make a mistake?" said Huang Jin, who was in the background, and glanced at him.

Huang Jin understood, and immediately looked around in the backyard of Cheng Qiao's house, and then replied: "Master, there is no one around." ”

Cheng Qiao glanced at Zhu Xing and said disdainfully: "If there is anything that can't be said openly, you have to make it so mysterious, and I'm afraid that people will overhear it!"

"It's a big matter, I have to be cautious!" Zhu Xing put his head to Cheng Qiao's ear and whispered, "I'm dead today......"

Cheng Qiao thought that he would tell himself some great secrets so carefully, but he just said that the emperor was dead, and looked at him disdainfully: "Hasn't this matter been announced to the world?"

"Miss Cheng, don't worry, wait for the words to finish. Zhu Xing remained mysterious and said unhurriedly.

Cheng Qiao had no choice but to nod.

Zhu Xing continued: "The first emperor died, the new monarch was not established, and the major affairs of the court and the central government were all handled by the cabinet chief assistant. A few days ago, the imperial court came to announce that I would succeed King Xing, and then go to the capital to ......"

"You are good to be the king of Xing in Guangyuan, what are you doing when you go to the capital to join in the excitement during the sensitive period of the death of the first emperor?" asked Cheng Qiao.

Zhu Xing explained: "You should know that there are no heirs left in the world today, and the country cannot be without a king for a day......

"They won't choose you in the end, will they?" Cheng Qiao glanced at him strangely.

Zhu Xing opened the fan with a snap, covering half of his face, and then Cheng Qiao nodded slightly.

Cheng Qiao's eyes widened, although she was very familiar with the young man in front of her, but this time she still carefully looked at the young man from head to toe again, and recalled the history she knew in her mind: Who is the next emperor of the Naughty Boy Emperor? uh...... It seems to be the Daozong Emperor who has been obsessed with alchemy for decades and ignores the government and politics, right?

The young man in front of him has a handsome face, and he has a bad stomach, how can he not look like he will be fooled by a Taoist priest into a faint king?

Zhu Xing was furious by Cheng Qiao's heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything wrong with it?"

"It's nothing...... Cheng Qiao shook his head and said lightly, "Congratulations!"

Cheng Qiao's reaction was completely different from what Zhu Xing expected, so calm, he was embarrassed to say the draft he had typed in his heart before, so he had to say in annoyance, "You are too insincere, right?"

"Then how can it be considered sincere?" asked Cheng Qiao with a smile.

"At least...... Well...... Shouldn't you celebrate for me?" Zhu Xing touched his head, feeling that the topic was being pulled farther and farther away.

"Okay, let the kitchen add food for you that night...... Cheng Qiao said, casually poking Zhu Xing's chest again, "You came all the way to show off that you want to succeed to the throne as emperor?"

"......" Zhu Xing was dumbfounded by her, and after a while, he replied sullenly, "Of course not." ”

Cheng Qiao looked at him strangely: "This is not that nor that, what are you doing at my house?"

Under her gaze, Zhu Xing, who had always been articulate, was speechless at this time, and his handsome face turned red. He stomped heavily on the ground a few times, then put away the folding fan, pointed at Huang Jin and ordered: "Huang Banban, you speak for this king." ”

Huang Jin's face was also stunned, he had followed Zhu Xing's side for many years, watching him grow from a petite milk doll to today's handsome young man, he had never seen such a shy and awkward master for many years, he sighed in his heart, and had to take a step forward and said to Cheng Qiao: "Miss Cheng, in fact, my prince is here to propose to you, girl!"

This finally frightened Cheng Qiao: "You...... You ......" pointed at Zhu Xing, and "you" didn't come up with a complete sentence for a long time.

Zhu Xing touched his still hot face and asked, "I don't know if Miss Cheng is willing?"

Cheng Qiao couldn't speak, so he simply picked up his powder fist and smashed it on Zhu Xing: "I want you to be big! Who wants to marry you!"

Her reaction was once again beyond Zhu Xing's expectations, at this time, ordinary girls should not be shy, blushing and nodding should, even if they don't want to, they also say that they should listen to their parents' orders and dare not make decisions about marriage matters without permission, which is ...... directly It's really unheard of to start beating people.

Could it be that she thought I was joking with her? Zhu Xing muttered in his heart, and while blocking Cheng Qiao's attack with a folding fan, he said: "Miss Cheng, I am serious, definitely not joking. ”

Cheng Qiao listened to his explanation, withdrew his fist, looked at him with a complicated expression, and asked, "Why are you marrying me?"

"Uh......" Zhu Xing was stunned, thought for a while, and then replied, "I ruined the girl's marriage, so I naturally want to marry the girl as compensation......"

Cheng Qiao, who got the answer, his face instantly darkened: "If this is the reason, then ...... You can go now, I won't be far away!" After speaking, he turned around and walked forward, the so-called out of sight is pure, and he never wanted to talk to this secondary two teenager again.

Zhu Xing was stupid, and shouted after him: "Miss Cheng...... Miss Cheng, are you wrong in the next step?"

Huang Jin was speechless, so he had to follow him silently and guard him.

After leaving the Cheng family's Zhuangzi, Zhu Xing was still ignorant, still wondering why Cheng Qiao suddenly changed his face, and he really couldn't figure it out, so he turned his head and asked the gold behind him: "Huang Banban, how did you say Miss Cheng could ......?"

Huang Jin is a eunuch, with a special identity, and he has never been in contact with a girl, so how can he understand these children's affections, and the master can't help but answer his questions, so he can only say nonsense after thinking about it: "Is the girl's family shy?" The slave remembers that Miss Cheng's mother is still in Guangyuan Mansion, so it is better for the master to propose to Mrs. Cheng directly. ”

"Is she shy? Why don't I think it's like it?" Zhu Xing muttered suspiciously, "Asking for a kiss is done in advance...... Wait until the king finishes dealing with those messengers from the capital. ”

Zhu Xing left the Cheng family with a look of regret.

That Cuiru was driven out of the backyard by Cheng Qiao, so she stood at the door of the boudoir, and when she saw that her own girl came back angrily after a while, she said in surprise: "Girl, why did you come back alone?"

"I drove you away!" Cheng Qiao said, crossed the threshold, sat on the round stool, and without waiting for Cuiru to serve, he picked up the kettle on the sandalwood table and poured a glass of water to drink.

"Huh?" Cuiru listened to her words and was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth, "Why do you want to drive Zhu Gongzi away?"

Cheng Qiao was still angry, and put the cup that had drunk all the water in his hand back on the table: "Why?

Cuiru shook her head, puzzled.

Cheng Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and said sourly: "People are afraid that I won't be able to get married...... You're going to marry me back casually!"

"No!" exclaimed Cuiru.

"How do you know that he won't? How many times have you met him, are you familiar with him?" Cheng Qiao glanced at Cuiru, threw her a "little girl, you are too simple" look, and then learned what Zhu Xing looked like and said just now to Cuiru.

After reading it, Cuiru immediately stood on the united front with her, denounced Zhu Xing with the same hatred, and said angrily: "I didn't expect Zhu Gongzi to look at a talent, but in fact this kind of person!"

"Isn't it?" Cheng Qiao nodded in response.

The master and servant sat on the stool, and you counted Zhu Xing from head to toe with a word.

At night, Cheng Qiao lay in bed, still thinking about being able to return to modern times sooner. Thinking about it and pondering somehow I thought of Zhu Xing's head, it seems that every time she crosses over, it is related to Zhu Xing, just take the first encounter, Zhu Xing left, he found the connection between Moyu and Lingquan, and then went to the waterhole and returned to modern times; 。

A bold idea popped up in Cheng Qiao's mind: every time she crossed, the timing was related to Zhu Xing, as long as Zhu Xing left, she could wear it back. So if you drive him away this time, can you go back?

Thinking of this, Cheng Qiao was excited in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush to the waterhole in the backyard to try it, but it was estimated that he would scare the servants and housekeepers in Zhuangzi half to death when he got up in the middle of the night, and he would ...... tomorrow I'll try it early tomorrow morning! Thinking about it, I fell asleep vaguely.

The next morning, she really pulled her head and went to the edge of the waterhole alone, and tried many methods, but unfortunately the water was still as calm as a mirror, and there was no response. Could it be that he guessed wrong? Cheng Qiao could only return disappointed in the end, and returned to the same appearance as he had been a few days ago.

Cuiru saw this qiē in her eyes, and said in her heart: As soon as Zhu Gongzi came, the girl had spirit, Zhu Gongzi left, and the girl was out of spirit. I am more and more sure in my heart that Cheng Qiao loves Zhu Xing to the bones.

Cheng Qiao didn't know that the maid next to her had such a wonderful and speechless misunderstanding of the relationship between herself and Zhu Xing, and she was all about finding a way to return to the modern era as soon as possible. In fact, maybe it wasn't that she guessed wrong, or it was possible that the person concerned, Zhu Xing, didn't really leave, no, a few days later, Zhu Xing ran to her Zhuangzi again.
