Chapter 26: Twenty-Six Gifts
"I ......"
Zhao Jinyan didn't expect to provoke Fu Rui to scold him, although he was not taken seriously as a prince, but so far, he has been scolded by the eldest princess of Jinyang, but now, there is one more Xia Furui.
He didn't know why Fleur was so angry, but he didn't think about it, after all, he did not do something appropriate today, so he angered the other party. He carefully weighed his words, trying his best to organize a discourse to explain well, at least not to make a mistake and provoke people.
That's right, although Zhao Jinyan's posture doesn't look like he's coming to visit the sick, but the conscience of heaven and earth, his main purpose is indeed to come to see Hibiscus, and other things are just by the way. And the reason why I thought about it was definitely not a whim, but after many days of thinking and hesitating, I came to see Furui.
He was used to being taciturn, and he had little contact with people, but the emperor's words still woke him up, and he knew that the reason why he was able to receive the errand was only because the eldest princess of Jinyang took the lead and played a major role.
The eldest princess of Jinyang has no friendship with him, so naturally she will not take the initiative to speak for him, but what happened before had to make Zhao Jinyan think of Fu Yuan, he only thought that Fu Yuan said good things for him in front of the eldest princess of Jinyang.
Zhao Jinyan is not ignorant, this errand can fall on his head, no less than pie in the sky. Although he had never asked for the pie, he was going to thank the person who brought him the pie.
But with his temperament, it was really difficult for him to say anything grateful.
So as soon as he came in, he subconsciously talked about other topics, wanting to relieve himself of the embarrassment first, so that he could explain the real meaning of today.
Outcome...... Self-defeating.
Fleur's perception of Zhao Jinyan at this time is not at all what Zhao Jinyan thinks, on the contrary, Furao still has a grudge against Zhao Jinyan for bumping into her three times twice before.
At this moment, before Zhao Jinyan's explanation could be spoken, Fu Hui said with a cold face: "I have a few catties and a few taels, I still know it, I don't dare to drive His Royal Highness the Third Prince to visit the patient, and besides, he came to visit the patient empty-handed, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you are also the first person in ancient and modern times." Now if you have anything to say, just say it. If you want to ask me why I know about your admiration for Yang Qingyi, I have to ask Your Royal Highness the Third Prince yourself, who collected the collection of Mobao poems in the study, isn't this Sima Zhao's heart known to passers-by? ”
“……”
Fu Hui said all the words in one go, which also made Zhao Jinyan stunned.
He originally thought that Fu Rui said that he admired Yang Qingyi, but it was just nonsense, or that he had some improper behavior to make people misunderstand, but he didn't expect that Fu Rui said something that even he didn't know, but Fu Rui said it reasonably, and it didn't look like he was lying.
For a moment, he didn't know where to start. In fact, if Zhao Jinyan was a little more sleek, he would just say no, regardless of whether there was really such a book in his study, but he was a more serious character, and he would never take it out if he was not sure.
And this appearance also made Fluff sneer in her heart. Only when the other party originally wanted to quibble, but was unexpectedly hit by her, he was speechless.
Seeing that Zhao Jinyan had been sitting silently on the side and not planning to speak, she sighed and said, "If the third cousin is fine, please go back!" ”
After saying this, she thought about it, but she softened her voice again, and said: "No matter what, I am very grateful to my third cousin for saving my life in the first place, and I will definitely repay it if I have the opportunity in the future." ”
“…… Need not. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Jinyan raised his head and looked at Fu Yuan, and after slowly refusing, he said, "In that kind of situation that day, no matter who encounters it, they will save each other, and if I don't save you, nothing will happen, not to mention, you will fall into the water, and I am also responsible." On the contrary, I would like to thank you for letting my aunt speak well for me in front of my father, and for me to receive an errand now. I owe you a favor for these things. ”
However, after Zhao Jinyan said this, Fu Rui had to look puzzled: "Did the third cousin have a misunderstanding, I didn't mention this to my mother, let alone let my mother go to my uncle to speak for you." ”
Fleur has always been honest, if she didn't do these things, she would never have received this gratitude.
"You got the wrong person, I have selfish intentions and don't want to ruin my reputation, and I don't want to trouble. So you saved me, I didn't even say it to my mother, and Caixia and Jiangxue, the two maids, were also ordered by me, and they didn't mention this matter at all. ”
Zhao Jinyan listened to Fu Yuan's story, and his face obviously didn't quite believe it, after all, his father had no reason to lie to him. But looking at Furao's serious and sincere face, it doesn't seem like she's lying.
His suspicions deepened, but since Furao denied it, he would not be forced to do anything to thank him.
After thinking about it, it was embarrassing to stay here, so Zhao Jinyan simply got up and said goodbye directly.
After Zhao Jinyan left, Jiang Xue walked in from the outhouse with a list, and said to Fu Hui with a smile on her face: "County Lord, look at the generous gifts given to you by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, I took a while to sort it out, you see that there is something you like on the list, I will move it for you." ”
"He gave a gift?"
Fleur's face was full of surprise.
Jiang Xue was just outside, and she didn't know what was going on inside, so she nodded when she heard the words, and said to Fu Hui repeatedly: "Yes, if you look at this gift list of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, you will know how rich the things he has given are." ”
Fleur didn't look at the gift list, but clenched her hand into a fist, slapped her forehead hard, and sighed deeply.
It's just that this Zhao Jinyan is really, she said such a thing, and he didn't even refute half a sentence. Do you want to watch her jokes? Fleur tried her best to think about the dark side, but the guilt in her heart couldn't deceive herself.
