Chapter 21: Bad Fate

Zhang Yingze still remembers the first time he met Du Jun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At that time, Qu Huaiting, the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Salt Transport Division, invited him to visit his family's Qu Garden. This Qu's garden is the most southeast garden, according to legend, "the victory of the garden in the west of Zhejiang, only the Shaqu is the most ancient", the water pavilion in the garden, the lotus pond loop, the strange stone rockery, the secluded path detours, the small bridge flowing water, meandering, clear and clear, the green trees are shady.

He was there and met Du Jun, who was separated from the girl.

The first time I saw Du Jun, he was very moving. She hid behind the brilliant crape myrtle tree, thinking that she had not been discovered by outsiders.

In fact, he had already discovered her. People are more delicate than flowers, how could he not see her.

She has delicate and fair skin, a pair of big smart eyes, and looks like a frightened fawn.

He immediately asked Qu Huaiting which family's daughter this coquettish guest was.

Qu Huaiting said that this is the granddaughter of the Qu family, who was fostered in the Qu family because her parents died.

He also said that Du Jun was arrogant, ordinary men were blind, and her grandmother said several marriages for her, but she pushed them herself. Therefore, it was delayed, and now he is eighteen years old and has not yet left the cabinet.

Zhang Yingze has always felt that he is special, and he feels that he must be able to enter the eyes of beauties, so he asked Qu Huaiting to talk about it.

Qu Huaiting felt that the two of them were a match. He also knew that Zhang Yingze had a wife and children, but he resolutely pushed his niece into the fire pit.

Perhaps, he thinks that Zhang Yingze has a high status, a lot of gold, and Du Jun is beautiful, so he is compatible. Whether the age difference between the two is too much, whether Zhang Yingze has a wife and children, he didn't think about it at all.

As for whether Du Jun really fell in love with Zhang Yingze, or whether he gave in because he hated to marry, everyone does not know. Only the parties know.

Du Jun has the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman. She speaks slowly and steadily. Always tilted his head, smiled, half-closed his eyes, and looked at Zhang Yingze. She didn't look like she was captivating, but she fascinated Zhang Yingze. She never asked Zhang Yingze to do anything for her, Zhang Yingze couldn't wait to give her all the good things in the world.

He took Du Jun to boat on the West Lake, Du Jun played the piano, he played the flute, and the two of them shared a song "Flowers and Full Moon", living a life like a fairy couple.

Zhang Yingze took her back to the capital and bought another house to live in, hoping to avoid Ling Yu's eyes and ears.

Since then, the two have been separated more and less, and Du Jun never complained that he came to see her too little, nor did he cry. She just hugged him gently, laughed and listened to him tell interesting things, or went to tease their daughter Liuxiang together.

The more considerate Du Jun is, the more guilty Zhang Yingze feels for Du Jun.

He went to see her more and more times, paper couldn't keep the fire, and Ling Yu discovered the matter of his golden house hiding Jiao.

She made a lot of noise, clamoring to kill Du Jun's mother and daughter.

Zhang Yingze couldn't bear it anymore and slapped her.

This slap seemed to make Ling Yu suddenly sober up. She finally found out that she was blindly strong, and instead pushed her husband to another woman.

She complained, she is a golden branch and jade leaf, and it is better for a woman who does not understand etiquette, righteousness and shame to please her husband.

She hated, she was almost middle-aged, and her children had formed their own families. Who would have thought that he would have to compete with other women and be jealous.

Why should her own husband be given to someone else!

She took Du's mother and daughter into the mansion as an expedient measure. As soon as Zhang Yingze was not careful, he poisoned Du Jun.

When the world talks about it, they only say that her eldest princess Ling Yu is vicious and can't tolerate her husband's concubine.

As everyone knows, the world thinks that Zhang Yingze and Du Jun, who are as good as "talented and beautiful", have such a poignant and touching love, but it is just a story of an uncle with financial resources abducting a girl.

This is the ghost who pretended to be Du Jun, it was Lou Wangshu.

After the Zhou sisters heard Du Jun's story, they all sighed for the death of a generation of beautiful women, only Lou Wangshu was very disdainful.

She said: "If you are the eldest princess Ling Yu, and you were also a beautiful woman in the capital when you were young, just because you are old and decrepit, you have to compete with a woman younger than your daughter for your husband, what would you think?" ”

The Zhou sisters said that they didn't expect this, Lou Wangshu didn't help Du Jun because Ling Yu was their enemy, and her three views were extremely positive.

Lou Wangshu sneered even more: "In my opinion, there may not be such a thing as three views in this world. When everyone is praising others' three views, they are actually praising their own three views, and they are all saying, this guy thinks the same as I think! ”

Zhou Yanan asked her: "Why do you talk so impulsively like you have eaten a cannonball?" After she finished speaking, she remembered that Lou Wangshu was murdered to death by her closest husband and other women in her last life, if she was not extreme, I am afraid that there would be no cynics in the world.

There was a monstrous hatred in Lou Wangshu's eyes: "Anyway, in this matter, I want to stand on Ling Yu's side." She thinks that anyone who destroys other people's marriages deserves to die, Uncle Zhang Yingze, who has a mid-life crisis, deserves to die, and Liuxiang also deserves to die.

The evil aura she inadvertently emitted condensed and formed, and many ice edges fell down with an instant.

The Zhou sisters glanced at each other, and Sister Last's face was worried. This is the first time that Zhou Yanan has discovered that Lou Wangshu will get out of control.

This Lou Wangshu pretended to be Du Jun, standing behind Liuxiang, just looking at Zhang Yingze, a pair of autumn-like eyes seemed to be happy and sad, like anger and resentment.

Zhang Yingze was already in tears: "Ah Jun, you came back to see me." He got out of the sedan chair and walked over step by step.

When Liuxiang heard this, she decided that her mother was dead. She let out a beast-like wail, and she didn't know where she got the strength, broke free from the two mothers-in-law, rushed to the stone lion in front of Zhang's mansion, and hit her head.

Surprisingly, there was no blood splattered on the spot.

Another girl hugged Liuxiang, her strength was great, and she looked like she had kung fu.

Princess Ling Yu of Shengping didn't know when she appeared at the gate of Zhang's mansion, with a girl and a mother-in-law, mighty. I saw that her head was plain silverware, and her body was covered with a moon-white satin jacket, which seemed to be Chang'e of the Moon Palace, and she was as pure as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns.

The girl grabbed Liuxiang with one hand and said to Ling Yu: "The slave is fortunate to live up to her life and saved the young lady." ”

Ling Yu didn't apply powder, and there were tears in his eyes. She personally helped Liuxiang up and said to her, "Good boy, you have suffered. ”

Liuxiang wanted to scold Ling Yu angrily, but she was dumb by the girl, and she couldn't make any sound, so she had to look at Ling Yu angrily with murderous eyes.

Ling Yu's voice was sad, and he said to Zhang Yingze and the onlookers: "This child's life is hard. ”

"Nine years ago, during the Lantern Festival, my family carried Sister Xiang to see the lanterns, but who knew that she was abducted by a kidnapper. I asked someone to search for many years but didn't find it, who would have expected that I was actually abducted and sold to Zhoufu. ”

"Her mother-in-law, Du Jun, didn't think about eating and drinking for this matter, and went within a month."

She squatted down and gently stroked Liuxiang's cheek, as if it was some precious treasure: "Good boy, abducted by a kidnapper, then what's there?" You've been in touch with your father all these years, why don't you come back? Are you afraid that going to the Zhou Mansion to be a girl will lose the face of our Zhang family, so you have been refusing to come back? What a silly boy. ”

"Good boy, Zhang's Mansion will always be your home. As long as you're safe and sound, come back. ”

She said something and left herself clean. What can't tolerate concubines and concubines, I'm afraid it's all rumors!

Zhang Yingze has recovered from the shock of seeing Du Jun's ghost.

He is also an extremely smart person, and he knows what he should do now, which is the best for the Zhang Mansion.

He looked at Princess Ling Yu and was shocked to realize that she was also old. He still remembers that when he was the prince's companion, the first emperor pointed to a girl swinging from afar and said, "This is the imperial sister." He saw only a figure of flowers, and heard a string of silver bells of laughter. At that time, he thought that even if it was a fairy concubine, it was nothing more than that.

He didn't expect that Ling Yu would break into the upper study. That day, she brought tea and soup to his brother and met him.

When Ling Yu saw him, he smiled. He was dazzled by the smile.

"You are so good-looking, I will marry you when I grow up."

Zhang Yingze doesn't like others to praise him for his good looks, and he doesn't want to marry a princess. He also wants to become an official in the court, not to be a colt with no real power.

He didn't like Ling Yu even more, he felt that she was not reserved.

Later, Ling Yu still married in.

When she first came in, she was quite appropriate, and she spoke politely.

Because Zhang Yingze doesn't like Ling Yu, Zhang Yingze's mother doesn't like Ling Yu either. Every time the two of them had a conflict, Zhang Yingze would help his mother.

Ling Yu couldn't help it, she finally showed her original face, domineering, domineering, and controlling.

She drove Zhang Yingze's mother to live in a side hospital.

Zhang Yingze also breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Yu was like a virtuous wife, and he felt uncomfortable. She just spilled, and he thought it was normal.

He had nothing left to deal with her. She still took care of the housework for him, gave birth to children, and personally interceded with her father to let Zhang Yingze take the imperial examination.

Zhang Yingze met Du Jun in the past few years.

Now, she's old, and he's old.

Du Jun was indeed killed by Ling Yu, and Liuxiang was also sent by Ling Yu to the Zhou Mansion as a spy. But a person who is still alive is more important than a person who is dead.

Looking back, after so many years, he should have loved Ling Yu too.

He didn't say a word, and acquiesced that what Ling Yu said was the truth.

Liuxiang's eyes are cracking.

"Obviously, my mother asked me to go to Zhou's mansion! Where are the crutches? ”

"Mother killed my own mother!"

But she couldn't say anything.

Zhang Yingze stood up and comforted: "Good boy, if you have any grievances, let's talk about it when I go home." Father will surely seek justice for you. ”

The people around were touched by the loving fatherly and motherly hearts of these two people. For slaves and maids, what a big ugliness that is! But they don't care about that, they just want their children to be safe.

"Smack!"

The crowd turned back. I saw a palace beauty come out of the car that had just been parked. The clapping sound just now was exactly what this beauty did.

She was also dressed in plain clothes, but the clothes were trimmed with silver thread. She smiled charmingly and openly, with an indomitable look and majesty in her eyes, and moved the lotus step lightly, which made the master of the Zhang family breathless.

Zhou Yanan looked at the three people on the ground, and his gaze was like a thousand years of ice. I only heard her say in a manic voice: "Princess Shengping, Lord Zhang, since Liuxiang is the daughter of your family, should you give an explanation to the Zhou Mansion?" ”
