Chapter 96

Ying Huaizhen heard that Guo Jianyi came to ask for marriage, and he had some guesses in his heart about who he was here for and why.

It's just that these days, there are those gossip that kills people without seeing blood, and Guo Jianyi must have heard that with his life of treating her every day, the reason for asking for marriage at this time is obvious.

Ying Huaizhen thought to himself: When he was in Taizhou, he saw Guo Jianyi again after returning home, and he protected himself in many ways, not like the indifferent and alienated person in her memory, so he secretly became a little closer to Guo Jianyi. But the last time he came to see her, he was interrupted by Li Xianshu when he was about to speak, and since he went, he never came to the door again, and her mood was almost the same as Li Xianshu, thinking that she must have been offended.

The ancestor was a famous big farmer in the world, from a noble background, and he was a high school at a young age.

After the intention to reuse these heroes, it is rare for Guo Jianyi to be so diligent and capable, and he is extraordinarily modest and cautious, and he is respectful, so everyone is obvious to all and has a good reputation.

Previously, when he was only in the last position in the Ministry of Industry, there were already many powerful people in the DPRK and China who took a fancy to him and thought that he must be an upstart, and now it is really on the rise. Over the years, there has been an endless stream of people who have gone to Guo's mansion to say their relatives, but Guo Jianyi has always refused, and this time he suddenly took the initiative to ask to marry, but I am afraid that he is still in the Ying Mansion now, and the news outside has already spread.

Such a person who picks and chooses thousands of sails suddenly only takes a fancy to her, so that those who secretly or schemingly or gloating and despising her can't help but think about it: If the rumors are true, Guo Langzhong, who has always been in a proper manner, how can Guo Langzhong, who is careful about the beginning, take the initiative to ask for marriage?

Therefore, Ying Huaizhen only thought that Guo Jianyi chose to come to the door at this time, but also to protect her heart and stop those rumors.

Ying Huaizhen said, Guo Jianyi said: "I did hear one or two nonsense, but I didn't come here because of this, in fact...... To put it in a way that will annoy you: I think these rumors came at the right time to give me such a good opportunity. You should also understand in your heart, I have long had this intention, but I don't know when to propose, I wanted to talk to you first, but I was misunderstood by the second grandmother last time, if it wasn't for this opportunity, the second grandmother must still be disgusted with me. ”

Guo Jianyi said, and smiled at her.

Ying Huaizhen looked at him and smiled a little slyly, although he was not annoyed, but he was also a little angry, so he snorted and lowered his head.

Guo Jianyi smiled again: "I'm trying to make you unhappy, and I want to make it clear to you, but the most important thing is to show my sincerity, don't you really annoy me?"

Ying Huaizhen listened to a little banter and sincerity in his tone, looked at him, sighed, lowered his eyes and said, "You also said it just now...... I know I won't say yes, so why do you want to touch this nail?"

Guo Jianyi listened, also smiled and lowered her eyelids, and said, "I just think about it...... What if you will?"

Although this sentence was said with a smile, it was not his true meaning.

Ying Huai's heart jumped, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Ying Huaizhen took a step back, sat opposite Guo Jianyi, glanced at him, raised his hand to support his cheek, and was slightly stunned.

Guo Jianyi watched from the other side, Ying Huaizhen's cuffs were blown by the wind, revealing the wound on his wrist that had healed, leaving only a shallow mark at the moment, Guo Jianyi's gaze stayed on it for a moment, and his eyes changed slightly before slowly moving away.

He looked at Ying Huaizhen's gaze, and for a while, he couldn't help but be a little distracted: from the time she was five years old to now, every time she faced her, she seemed to feel that she was not just facing a child, when did she give birth to this mind?

Or because she should be smoking, she said to herself very seriously, "If you don't like it...... Don't delay a person in vain", the vague pain in his eyes.

Or maybe she played tricks on Ling Jue, and when she saw him coming suddenly, she seemed to know that he was in trouble, so she deliberately made a ghost cry and led him over to coax him...... Although she cried very fakely at that time, he also felt distressed.

Or ...... It was she squatting on the ground, as if she was being forced to be questioned by Tang Yi, and she didn't dare to move, that pitiful little look.

At first, he may just want to protect her...... Later, I didn't know when I thought, if I can rest assured if I protect it all the time, maybe ...... If she grows up, she will inevitably have the same temperament as herself, and she will inevitably ......

When the mind moves, it is like a fire that cannot be stopped.

But her heart is as clear as a mirror, knowing that the older she gets, the more she comes and goes, and her temperament is like this, and the peach blossoms will inevitably roll in the future.

What's more, Ying Lanfeng has not returned to Beijing at the moment, and there are still fewer people who pay attention to her, if she comes back again, her official position will be promoted, but I am afraid that it will become more and more eye-catching.

Although he understands that Ying Huaizhen doesn't have that kind of mind about himself, Guo Jianyi still thinks about it, it is better to make it clear from the beginning, regardless of success or failure, and let her remember it first.

I also understand that Ying Huaizhen has a sense of gratitude and dependence on him, so he will not be reprimanded or refused, so he deliberately does so.

Guo Jianyi made this decision after thinking about it repeatedly, only to feel that he was ...... It's better than standing by and watching her not know whose flowers are falling.

Just as he replied at this moment: "What if...... Are you willing to do so?"

He just tried to make this "what if" for now.

After Guo Jianyi said goodbye, he thanked Lu Shilang and Master Ji, who were matchmakers, before returning to the mansion.

Since I went to see Mrs. Guo first, when I entered the door, I saw Mrs. Guo sitting opposite Guo Bailu, and the two of them were a little annoyed when they saw him come in.

Guo Jianyi stepped forward to salute, and his mother sighed and asked, "What's the matter?

Guo Jianyi said: "I didn't agree yet, I just said that I had to think about it again." ”

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she pointed at him angrily and said, "What kind of words do you have to choose from them?"

Guo Bailu quietly pulled Mrs. Guo's sleeve, and Mrs. Guo was silent, Guo Bailu turned to Guo Jianyi and said softly: "Since people say that they want to think about it, then it's okay, but although Sister Huaizhen is still young, her brother's age is not too young, how long will it take to delay?"

Mrs. Guo understood, so she sighed: "You kid has always made me feel very worry-free, why do you just wring it with me here? I have been suffering from chest pain for the past two days because of this...... I originally wanted to let you get married earlier, and the Guo family is also a good future, and now if you really book their family's ...... ......Wouldn't it be necessary to wait another three years before we could get married?" he said, rubbing his heart again.

Guo Bailu also came over to rub her mother's breasts and back, and persuaded again: "Mother, don't worry, if there is really something, how can you do it?"

When Guo Jianyi saw this, he knelt on the ground before he spoke: "Mother and sister don't have to worry, you know my temper, if I want to marry, I naturally want to marry someone who is one in ten thousand, Huai Zhen is the one in my eyes, she refuses to agree, I will wait for another person...... As for whether to wait for it, that's another story. If she says yes, it will be a blessing to me. ”

When Mrs. Guo and Guo Bailu heard this, they were both shocked and speechless: listening to his meaning, it seemed that they had to do it.

Guo Jianyi said again: "I'm just afraid...... I don't have that blessing. When he said this, he suddenly felt disturbed, and his eyes were wet.

When Mrs. Guo saw him kneeling, she was already distressed, and when she heard that his tone was wrong, she forgot to pretend, and hurriedly went down to the ground to help him up, coughed and sighed and said, "Jianyi, what are you talking about...... How many people are waiting for you to pick in the capital, how can you do this...... That's it, your mother doesn't force you, it's just that you like it...... Don't you do that, don't ask your mother to worry about you?"

Guo Jianyi's eyes were slightly red, and after listening to his mother's persuasion, he nodded slightly.

Guo Bailu saw it on the side, and also sighed, looked at Guo Jianyi and nodded: "I just don't know what people say about asking what the world is like, and what it means to teach life and death...... What is the fun of living and dying for someone else?"

Guo Jianyi couldn't help but smile when she heard her old-fashioned words, and said, "How could I have thought of it...... I don't know if it's good or bad, but with my sister's temper, I'm afraid I won't fall into the vulgar like me?"

Guo Bailu heard him teasing himself, so he spat lightly and said: "That's it, it's a shame that my brother has always acted impeccably, so this matter is simply up to you, I don't care about my mother and me, and I can't control it horizontally and vertically......"

Mrs. Guo saw his brother and sister laughing, and she knew that her feelings were good, and her heart relaxed, and sighed: "Hengzhu's family is good, it's the best...... I just don't care about the rest of Bai Lu's family affairs, but I also have to take a good measure, Jianyi, do you have to pay more attention to your sister?"

When Guo Bailu heard this, he said: "Suo asked my brother to pay attention, you can see the ...... he chose for himself."

Guo Jianyi knew that she still held a grudge against the fact that she had not been let into the palace in the first place, so she smiled and said: "I understand my sister's thoughts, I will definitely pick a good one for you this time, and it will definitely satisfy you, how about it?"

When Guo Bailu heard this, his face was slightly red, and he said, "Who cares about you?"

Seeing this, Guo Jianyi's heart moved, and he asked: "Now there is no one else, sister tell me the truth, you really don't have a little absolute in your heart?" If there is no him, I will go to him as soon as possible to make it clear, don't let him mistake him for ......."

When Guo Bailu heard this, he frowned slightly, then lowered his eyes and said, "I heard that he has been sick again in the past two days...... And the illness is a little bad, even if my brother wants to say it, don't pick it up and say it at this time, after a while?"

Guo Jianyi nodded and said, "I understand...... I'll go and visit first. ”

Sure enough, two days later, Guo Jianyi took a break, and came to visit Ling Jue in Ling Mansion, but when he entered the door, he was about to arrive at Ling Jue's bedroom, and suddenly saw a familiar person talking to Ling Jingshen standing by the lotus pond.

When Guo Jianyi saw that person, he also saw it, so he nodded to Guo Jianyi, with a majestic demeanor, but it was Xiao Tang.

Seeing this, Guo Jianyi walked over, both saluted, and Ling Jingshen said, "Jianyi is here to see Xiao Jue?"

Guo Jianyi said: "Exactly, I heard that he has been sick for a few days, I don't know if he is okay?"

Ling Jingshen said: "It's not in the way, it's almost raised, I'm worried that he will be depressed, it's good for you to go and talk to him." ”

When Guo Jianyi heard this, he said to Xiao Tang: "Since this is the case, go back and talk to Tang Shilang." Xiao Tang raised his hand and made a wave, Guo Jianyi turned around and went.

Xiao Tang retracted his gaze, and before meeting, the pond was full of lotus flowers, and the pavilion came out of the water, and the breeze blew, and the lotus leaves flew up, like dancing clothes.

Suddenly, I heard Ling Jingshen say: "I vaguely heard that Jianyi asked Ying Fu for a kiss a day ago, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Xiao Tang said: "This can still be fake, it's already spread all over the outside, isn't it?"

Ling Jingshen nodded, and suddenly said, "It's rare, he actually fell in love with that little girl...... and laughed softly a few times as he spoke.

Xiao Tang smiled: "What are you laughing at?"

Ling Jingshen said: "It's nothing, it's just interesting, Jianyi doesn't look like he is acting frivolously...... That's it, don't talk about this, I heard that the Jiucheng patrol side removed a lieutenant and took a few negligent ones, the prince doesn't seem to be very happy?"

Xiao Tang said: "The Gyeonggi patrol is directly under the prince, and now that something has happened, the prince is naturally gloomy, but it would be good if he could be more vigilant in the future because of this incident...... But King Su is not having a good time. ”

Ling Jingshen thought for a moment and said: "The third princess and King Su are in the same party, and the golden flying squirrel stole a lot of rare treasures from the horse's house back then, and one of them was given by the emperor...... Because of this, he did not kill the golden flying squirrel immediately, and he was tortured against Japan and forced him...... It was only because of their selfishness that they almost harmed Xiao Jue and ......"

When Ling Jingshen said this, his eyes were full of forest, and he didn't say it anymore.

Xiao Tang said: "I have asked someone to investigate why the golden flying squirrel was able to escape from prison in the first place, but I don't have a clue yet, I'm afraid that he targeted Huaizhen and Xiao Jue, and someone behind him was also instigated, but I want to blame you for being too impulsive at the time, why did you kill him lightly?"

When Ling Jingshen saw this, he smiled bitterly and said: "I saw him running towards Xiao Jue at that time, thinking that he was going to poison again, how could I hold back? Besides, I have been detaining him for five years, and I am the most familiar with his temperament, this person is insidious and cunning, even if I arrest him again, I am afraid that I will not be able to force anything, otherwise, where will it take five years?"

Xiao Tang listened, nodded slightly, and sighed: "I don't know who it is...... Why don't you want to get along with a girl like Huaizhen?"

Ling Jingshen thought about it and shook his head, the two of them stopped talking, just looked at the pool of lotus flowers fluttering in the wind, after a while, Ling Jingshen suddenly laughed softly, and Xiao Tang asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Ling Jingshen said: "I just suddenly remembered something interesting...... A few days ago, Xiao Jue was unconscious, and I was really worried, so I stayed in front of his bed, but he repeatedly talked in his sleep, but he called out a person's name. ”

Xiao Tang smiled: "Oh, listen to what you mean, it's not your name?

Ling Jingshen sneered twice and said, "Isn't it the girl you just sighed for?"

Xiao Tang was stunned and said, "Huaizhen?"

Ling Jingshen nodded, glanced at him, Xiao Tang also glanced at him, looked at each other for a moment, the two of them smiled, and then slowly turned back again, only looking at the lotus.

Since Guo Jianyi came to the door to ask for marriage, the rumors have stopped a lot. On this day, Ying Huaizhen made a rouge paste and was trying it on Ying Yu, but he heard that Mr. Zhu was coming.

Ying Huaizhen was happy in his heart, and hurriedly went out, Mr. Zhu entered the door, looked east and west, and when he saw the box of rouge, he sighed and said, "Girl, you haven't been doing your job recently...... What about the sachets that promised me? That's all you want?"

Ying Huaizhen couldn't help but sneer: "Sir, I have no clue lately, so I threw it away, but since I promised you, sooner or later I will do it, and it is indispensable." ”

After hearing this, Mr. Zhu felt satisfied, so he looked her up and down for a while, frowning slightly.

At this moment, Ying Yu was scribbling on his lips in front of the mirror, Zhang Ye was watching from the side, and couldn't help but say: "You have painted too much, it looks like a ghost." ”

Ying Yu glared at him angrily and said, "What do you know? You are not a girl and dare to say this." ”

Zhang Ye said: "Women are the ones who please themselves, why do I have to be a girl to say this?"

Ying Yu has never forgived people, so he said: "What if I am the one who pleases myself, you are not the one who dares to talk too much and ask someone to beat you out"

Zhang Ye smiled: "It turns out that you have someone in your heart, are you ashamed?"

Ying Yu was speechless, ashamed and angry, his hand was crooked, and suddenly the rouge mark was also smeared with a large piece, it really looked like a ghost, Zhang Ye laughed more and more, Ying Yu jumped up in anger, and chased after him.

The two of them suddenly made a fuss, and ran out of the back room, and at this moment the maid served tea and withdrew, and Mr. Zhu saw that there was no one else in the house, so he responded to Huaizhen: "Is the incident you had before true?"

Ying Huaizhen didn't have anything to hide from him, so he smiled and said: "It's really a disaster, and I still don't know who I offended...... It's just that my husband even calculated the death of my grandfather, why didn't he tell me to be wary of this?"

Mr. Zhu stared at her, his eyebrows tightened, and said, "If I could calculate it, how could I not tell you?" It is precisely because I calculated that you should not have had this catastrophe in the first place...... It's really weird. ”

Ying Huaizhen seemed to understand whether she understood or not, Mr. Zhu stared at her, and wanted to calculate again, but Ying Huaizhen suddenly remembered one more thing, so he smiled and said, "Actually, I should thank Mr...... This time you saved my life. ”

As soon as Mr. Zhu's fingers stopped, he looked at her and said, "How do you say this?"

Ying Huaizhen said with a smile: "The two perfume books that Mr. gave me before, I thought it was fun, so I read through them, and I couldn't help but pay attention to some strange recipes...... And there are some taboos or poisonous between those incense, I naturally remember it carefully, so as not to mess around without knowing it, and poison myself...... It just so happened that I picked some incense to my hand that day, and at that time I was burning sycamore, and I vaguely remembered that the sycamore wood incense and the hand incense were mutually reinforcing, and the two were mixed to become poisonous smoke...... It was because of this that I managed to escape. ”

When Mr. Zhu heard this, he sighed secretly, and said: "This is not my credit, it is just a coincidence, and you should be in danger...... Think about it, even if I have the heart to give books, if you don't pay attention to it yourself and can't remember it, what is the use?"

Ying Huaizhen still thanked him, and Mr. Zhu suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, I heard that you have a happy event recently." ”

Ying Huaizhen heard this, knowing that he was talking about Guo Jianyi, so he bowed his head slightly and said, "What kind of happy event is it...... I would have ......"

As he was saying this, he saw Zhang Ye running in and said, "Why are the girls in your house so fierce?"

Ying Huaizhen saw that there were a few more rouge marks on his face, and knew that it was Ying Yu, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't mess around, the rouge paste I made is all bad for you."

Saying that, Ying Yu also came in, and said angrily: "Why am I willing to make trouble, he caused it" stepped forward with his mouth puffed out, took the box of rouge paste, and said to Huaizhen: "Sister, give me this? There is this chaotic demon star in your house, so I will leave first and come back another day." ”

After Ying Yu left, Mr. Zhu glanced at Zhang Ye and said, "What kind of spring is it? Look at the red face." ”

Zhang Ye said: "Who is in spring, Master, can you speak better?" It's all that girl who smeared it, and I dare to wipe my face If I didn't see that she was a girl, I would definitely be beaten."

Ying Huaizhen hurriedly took a handkerchief and asked Zhang Ye to take it to wipe his face, Zhang Ye hummed and wiped his face in the mirror. Ying Huaizhen came back and sat down again, thinking of what he said about Guo Jianyi before, and when he wanted to say it to Mr. Zhu again, he didn't know where to start, so he thought about it, so he just stopped.

Mr. Zhu sat down for a while, and told her to pay attention to the incense she had promised herself, and then got up to go.

Ying Huaizhen wanted to stay with him for a while because he rarely came, but Mr. Zhu looked at her and said with a smile: "Let's see if I'm right, I calculated that you will have the fate of a dragon immediately." ”

Ying Huaizhen didn't know why, and he had to ask again, so Mr. Zhu said: "Hengzhu will know the clue immediately, so there is no need to ask." While he was talking, Zhang Ye grimaced behind his back, and learned from Mr. Zhu's way of speaking, which was vivid.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhu didn't say a word, didn't look back, shook his hand, and slapped his head impartially.

Zhang Ye was completely defenseless, covering his head with his hands and screaming in pain, Mr. Zhu was already smiling proudly and stepped out of the door. Ying Huaizhen pursed his lips and smiled, Zhang Ye had no choice but to make a bitter face towards Ying Huaizhen and followed.

Mr. Zhu walked to the door of the Ying Mansion, and saw a few horses coming up from the avenue on the right, the one on the horse, with a white face and beard, wearing eunuch clothes, and the others looked like they were also in the court.

When Mr. Zhu saw it, he laughed twice.

At this moment, Zhang Ye said: "I just said that Huai Zhen has the fate of Lao Shizi's dragon, what does it mean?"

Mr. Zhu raised the fan and knocked it on his head again, and said, "Stupid and stupid dragon, the real dragon is also ......."

As soon as the words fell, the horses had stopped at the gate of the Ying Mansion, but they saw the chief eunuch turn over and dismount, hold a thing high in his hand, and said sharply: "The emperor has a will, please quickly ask the Lord Ying to accept the order" Seeing this, the little guys at the door did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly entered to report
