Chapter 179: The Late Concubine
Chen Yu is very embarrassed, now he is full of people on the street!
Does this Dou Pu want to be shameless?
But the worst thing is that he doesn't have so much money on him, how can he pay off their debts for them? Do you want the people from their gambling house to go to Chen's mansion with him to get it? In the past few days, he Chen Yu has been gambling, and the rumors of debt collectors asking for money are afraid that they will spread.
“…… You guys...... What are you doing? ”
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling in the carriage woke up, and opened the curtain a little dizzily, startled by this scene, as if his brain was also sober.
Zhou Ling is not a fool, he is extremely smart and very sharp, and he knows what happened almost instantly.
When the old lady was born, he also went to the Dou family to celebrate his birthday, not to mention that he was good friends with Dou Zhi, and he knew a thing or two about Ren Di and Dou Pu. It's just that Dou Zhi kept telling him that these two people are not good stubble, so he should never be in company with them. I heard that Dou Pu was beaten by his brother Dou Xun for gambling money before, and his nose and face were swollen, and later the old lady punished them for copying scriptures and repenting, but I didn't expect to forget the pain so quickly, it seems that Dou Xun didn't beat him hard enough.
Everyone was stunned for a while, Zhou Ling's young age, his hairy head came out of the carriage, and he looked a little tiger-headed, with a bit of drunkenness.
Chen Yu walked over quickly, told Dou Pu and Ren Di about it, and then his eyes drooped slightly, as if the words behind him had not been finished.
Zhou Ling sneered in his heart, he didn't expect the dignified Chen family uncle to have this calculation.
Don't say that if he can't take out the five hundred taels, even if he can take them, I'm afraid that Chen Yu may not be willing. Dou Pu is a scoundrel, and if he solves the siege this time, he may make more trouble next time, which is a bottomless pit to fill in. And Ren Di. The Ren family has a strict family education, and it took him for decades to be such an unscrupulous descendant, even if Ren Di begged to go to his grandfather's house, he would not stab this matter back to the Ren family. And the temper of the old lady, most of Lin'an City knows that he just killed Ren Di and didn't want this grandson, and he wouldn't donate a copper plate.
So. Whoever takes out these five hundred taels. It's who did this wrongdoing.
Sure enough, Brother Zhi didn't talk nonsense, and there are few good descendants of the Dou family now.
But although he thought so in his heart, he still looked confused on his face. His tongue trembled, and he couldn't even speak clearly, and said, "Isn't it five hundred taels?" If Brother Chen doesn't have it, the younger brother will take it here. As he spoke, he shuddered and untied the purse on his body and stuffed it into Chen Yu's palm.
Chen Yu was stunned.
Five hundred taels?
This week, Ling actually put five hundred taels with him?
He was just tempting. I didn't expect Zhou Ling to be so transparent.
Not sure why. A touch of uneasiness flashed in Chen Yu's heart. Although he knew that this purse was not suitable for him today, he still opened it by surprise. Dengshi's eyes widened, where is there only five hundred taels here? There are several large silver tickets, but there are not many broken silver. But there were several porcelain-white night pearls lying inside.
Each night pearl is worth a thousand taels.
He looked at Zhou Ling, who was sleeping upside down, incredulously, and couldn't bear the sudden change in his heart.
Zhou Ling is still like this. So the Dou family...... Isn't it a mountain of gold and silver?
He took a few silver tickets from his purse and made them into five hundred taels, and returned the rest to Zhou Ling. When he turned to look at Dou Pu and Ren Di again, his vision was a little different.
I have always heard that the Dou family is rich, but I didn't expect that after seeing the real money, I knew what it was like to be rich. is that his father Chen Jichang has been an official all his life, and he can't keep up with the hair.
After settling the gambling debts with the gambling house, Chen Yu decided to take the three of them back to Chen's house first.
said that Wang Zining had lived in the grange for several days, thinking that as long as the time dragged on, Lord Wang and her grandfather would be able to let her go. But she hadn't seen her master's house since she had seen Dou Miaojing that morning. Only Zhou Yunshang came to serve every day, but when she came, she didn't chat with her like before, her mouth was like mush, and she couldn't pry it open. Such a day suddenly became boring.
And Dou Miaojing is happily sitting at the drizzle in the return to the field at the moment, Drizzle and Heming will be married in a few days, and she said before that she would let Drizzle marry from the Grange, so she is here to pick up Drizzle today.
Their wedding was simple, but Heming's dowry was really rich. He has been born and died for Zhu Jingyan over the years, and he has received a lot of rewards, and he has filled a few boxes of gold and silver jewelry alone. Zhu Jingyan is definitely not a stingy person, his subordinates marry wives and maids marry, and double congratulatory gifts are indispensable.
So all day, he walked around in front of Duobao Pavilion, pondering what to give. He was actually reluctant to give up every piece here.
He Feng slyly invited Dou Miaojing over, and when Dou Miaojing stepped into the study, he was secretly startled by the quiet atmosphere inside.
Didn't you say that Zhu Chung was looking for her?
Don't talk about the past, she is a little worried about being alone with Zhu Jingyan now. He was not happy when he mentioned Lord Gu last time, so she guessed if the father-son relationship between Zhu Song and the crown prince was not very good?
"Lord Jun?" She whispered, a little confused.
"Huh?" Zhu Jingyan was also taken aback, "Why are you here?" Isn't it a dowry for the drizzle in front of you? ”
Dou Miaojing blinked, and suddenly understood. She walked towards Zhu Jingyan and saw that he was holding a pair of red gold and treasure-inlaid bracelets in his hands, although he was rich and powerful, but it was a little grander.
She frowned, "What are you looking for?" Do you want me to help? ”
Zhu Jingyan's originally fair face suddenly turned red, and he said, "I didn't look for anything." As he spoke, he stuffed the opponent Chuan back into the box, and pulled Dou Miaojing out of the Duobao Pavilion.
"Silly girl, are you lost again?" He said with a smile, his expression returning to normal.
Dou Miaojing thought that she had seen it wrong, where would Zhu Song be embarrassed. She gently broke away from his hand and said angrily, "Don't look down on me, it won't be difficult for me to return to the farmhouse and the algae floating garden now." ”
Besides, did she get lost and come here?
Zhu Jingyan was a little embarrassed, he hadn't seen Dou Miaojing since they were separated last night, and he didn't know why, but now he was a little apprehensive.
"But it's big again, as if you were the mistress here." He choked twice.
Dou Miaojing's face flushed: "Lord Jun, what are you talking about?" ”
Zhu Jingyan was stunned for a moment, but after realizing that he seemed to have said something strange, he suddenly stood up uneasily: "Little girl." I don't mean anything else, don't take it seriously. ”
"Which one is serious?" Dou Miaojing was angry and funny, and suddenly her heart was excited, but she really remembered something, and her face was a little not good for a moment.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Jingyan thought that she still minded, and secretly regretted when her mouth was so tight. said that he was in a hurry and stepped forward and touched Dou Miaojing's head, "I still like to hear you call me 'Uncle Xing'." ”
Dou Miaojing's lips lifted slightly and smiled. Think about it for a while. Finally, he said seriously: "Uncle Xing, I heard that you performed for the late princess of the county in Lingyin Temple...... You have a deep affection for the princess of the county. ”
Zhu Jingyan's eyelids jumped. The heart sank: "What do you want to say?" ”
"What kind of existence is the princess of the county to you?" Dou Miaojing asked.
Zhu Jingyan's lips were tightly pursed, and his face became very bad.
Dou Miaojing was stunned in her heart, sure enough, the princess of the county couldn't mention it. She always found it strange. Why did Zhu Chung have a wife, but they never mentioned this person in the drizzle and wind. Even if he is deceased. It should also leave a trace. But in their hearts, it was as if the man had never existed.
No, it's not that it doesn't exist, it's deliberately forgotten.
She lowered her eyelids. After giving a salute, he wanted to withdraw silently. She had already made Zhu Song angry, she could feel it.
"She is the niece of the Queen's mother. Grow up with me. If he hadn't married me, he would have been a childhood sweetheart in my heart. I didn't think that Zhu Jingyan spoke.
"Uncle Xing......" Dou Miaojing raised his head. I was a little stunned.
Zhu Jingyan's eyes lowered, met Dou Miaojing's clear eyes, raised his hand and touched her face, and said with a smile: "But she shouldn't have ...... Married to me. ”
Dou Miaojing held her breath, unable to imagine what Zhu Jingyan would say next.
Could it be that the princess of the county is really as rumored to be...... Is it Zhu Song's own hand? But why? She doesn't understand.
Zhu Jingyan's delicate fingers slowly caressed Dou Miaojing's face, but his eyes didn't seem to be looking at her. This made Dou Miaojing see the pain and a trace of resentment that had been locked in the depths of his eyes.
She subconsciously shook a little.
This time, Zhu Jingyan came back to his senses and quickly let go: "Am I scared you?" ”
"Uncle Xing," Dou Miaojing shook his head, "Uncle Xing, since the matter has passed, let it pass." You shouldn't be obsessed with it anymore. ”
Zhu Jingyan smiled dumbly, suddenly pinched her face, twisted it lightly, and said, "Silly girl, you are still young and don't understand this." ”
"Do you think of me as the princess of the county?" Dou Miaojing's eyes followed him closely, "Do you think of me as the princess of the county when you were a child?" Uncle Xing, you always look at me, but you don't look at me. I can feel ......."
Zhu Jingyan was stunned, his face was empty, and it was difficult to hide the chaos in his heart.
"I'm with the princess...... Like? Dou Miaojing muttered and touched her face.
In fact, she can't say this feeling herself. All she knew was that the first time she saw the drizzle and the wind, it was not normal for both of them to like her for no reason. And the two of them looked at themselves as if they were looking at an old friend. Before, she thought that it was created by fate between people, but now she actually found this kind of feeling that seemed to be the return of an old friend from Zhu Song's eyes.
For a moment, I was a little sad.
Just because of a similarity, they can accept their useless selves. What kind of feelings should you treat that person? Although no one mentions this person on their lips, this person lives in everyone's heart.
"Princess of the County...... Probably a nice guy, right? Dou Miaojing smiled and lowered her head again, "I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll go back first." With that, he walked out slowly.
She didn't know how she got to the sun.
There was no temperature in the autumn sun, it was probably almost winter, and she was cold.
Dou Miaojing herself can't figure it out, she is approaching Zhu Jingyan now with her own purpose, in that case, why should she care about what these people think of her? Even if they all think of themselves as princesses of the county, so what? Not only is it harmless to what she is trying to do, but it is also beneficial.
But I just couldn't be happy.
So, without even saying hello to the drizzle, she left alone.
Zhu Jingyan sat down on the chair with some prostration, and his palms trembled unconsciously.
Dou Miaojing...... ...... with Xiao Ning'er They, like?
Perhaps, he didn't want to believe it, but at this moment, he had to admit that Dou Miaojing's appearance was becoming more and more like Xiao Ning'er's age. In the past, when he was chubby, he could pretend to ignore it, but now, the eyebrows are engraved in his heart, and they are truly similar.
"Second master......" and Feng walked in guiltily.
Zhu Jingyan raised his head and glanced at her: "You guys did Ning'er in front of the little girl?" ”
He Feng immediately knelt down in a panic, Su Rili was neither big nor small, at this moment she only really knew that Zhu Jingyan was angry and could not be provoked.
"Second master, how could the slave mention the princess of the county for no reason......"
"Her death day is approaching." Zhu Jingyan muttered.
Xiao Ning'er has been gone for nearly a whole year. And in this whole year, he met Dou Miaojing, as if he was sent by God.
Kazukaze was really scared. Because she heard it, Zhu Jingyan's throat was obviously choked.
Is the prince of the county to the sad place? But even when the princess died, he didn't shed a single tear. What's going on now?
Zhu Jingyan didn't embarrass her, but just let her kneel in the study for an afternoon. When Kazukaze returned to the drizzle, he couldn't even walk.
Drizzle was frightened and gave her a hot towel while chattering and scolding her: "...... It's always so unruly, and it's for the princess's sake that the second master doesn't punish you. Now it's finally folded in, right? You are such a big person, you should change it, otherwise you really won't be able to get married in the future! ”
Scolding and scolding, Kazuka suddenly burst into tears.
Drizzle was stunned for a moment, and hugged Kazukaze's head into his arms: "What's wrong?" Did the second master beat you? ”
He Feng shook his head, sniffed and said, "Drizzle, I'm sorry for you...... Maybe, maybe Miss Joji won't come to us in the future. ”
"What are these words?" The drizzle is staggering. After thinking about it carefully, Dou Miaojing left Guitianshe today, and sure enough, she didn't even say hello to her. She forgot to be busy, and when she heard the wind mention it, her heart suddenly flashed. "You, did you say something to the second miss?"
He Feng shook his head desperately: "Where do I dare, I didn't even mention a word." Without mentioning a word, Zhu Jingyan made her kneel so much that she almost lost her knees, if she really dared to mention it, she would have moved her head by now.
Drizzle's heart sank, and he immediately left the wind and walked outside. (To be continued)
