Chapter 190: Enlightenment
This sigh went straight to the depths of the heart of the embroidered curtain, and the embroidered curtain looked back at the haunting man with a shocked face, staring at this handsome face tightly through the heavy rain and mist, from his eyes, she only saw him to her pity, just like that day he came down from the sky to save her, this man is her savior hero.
"Zhu Sanye ......" She called him with a crying voice full of emotion, and wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry bitterly, but she didn't dare, she always remembered that she was just a little slave, and it was impossible to reach him even if she was willing to live for ten years in this life.
Zhu Ziran seemed to know her intentions, suddenly stretched out his arm and took her into his arms, and gently patted her on the back, giving people the feeling of heavy pity without the slightest taste of lust, "If you want to cry, cry as much as you want, and then tell me, why are you crying, I can stand up for you." ”
Such an action is not in line with etiquette, but leaning on the arms of this great man, smelling the male breath on his body, the embroidered curtain can't help but blush on his face, the end of his nose can't help twitching, her eyes are even more sour, and the tears of grievance can't help but slip down her eyes, and she cries more and more sadly.
Zhu Ziran has been very patient to comfort her, and the hand that patted her back never stopped, but where the embroidered curtain could not be seen, his face was always very cold, and his eyes were like a pair of cold pools as if they were about to drown.
It took a long time for the embroidered curtain to stop crying, and she always knew that she was shamelessly leaning on his arms and crying, and her reason returned, she pushed him away as if frightened, biting her lower lip and blushing her cheeks to him, leaning on his arms so frivolously, I don't know if he will dislike her Meng Lang? The more she thought about it, the worse it became, and the more she hated herself in her heart.
Zhu Ziran seemed to know her embarrassment, and moved two steps forward to get closer to her, "You haven't told me yet, why are you crying?" I actually saved you that day, so naturally I won't leave you alone? Embroidered curtains. ”
The low voice in which he called her name sounded the most beautiful voice in the world at the embroidered curtain, and after a while, she reacted and suddenly looked back at him, "You...... How do you know my name? ”
She's just a slave, how can she let him know her name?
"Don't ask me why I know? I just know anyway. Zhu Ziran smiled slightly, knowing that she couldn't resist his smile the most.
The heart of the embroidered curtain jumped again, just because of his words, she felt that she was the happiest person in the world. "Zhu Sanye ......"
Zhu Ziran sighed again, took out a handkerchief and raised his hand to gently wipe her tears, "But what grievances have you suffered?" You don't say anything, how can I help you? ”
The embroidered curtain shook his head lightly, "Third Master Zhu, you can't help me, it's the girl...... She ...... "complained about her own girl in front of outsiders, and she swallowed back when the words came to her lips, which was not appropriate after all."
"What's wrong with your girl?" Zhu Ziran asked, since the matter had come to this point, his eyes sank, and he would not let her go back no matter what.
The embroidered curtain didn't notice the strange appearance of the person in front of him, but just shook his head vigorously, "I can't say, this is an act of betraying the master, I have always been a subordinate of the Hou Mansion......"
"Silly girl, your girl always wants to marry into the Ruyang Palace, you are no longer from the Yehou Mansion, but from the Ruyang Palace, and I am the third master of the palace, it's not too much to ask, and if I am a lobbyist for you, your girl should sell me a little face......"
"Nope." Hearing him say this, the embroidered curtain hurriedly spoke to stop it, "Now you are also a candidate for the prince, if you say something that the girl doesn't like because of me, it will definitely affect your image in the girl's mind, and the girl will definitely dislike ......you even more" Speaking of this, she felt speechless, hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and looked at Zhu Ziran with a look of annoyance.
Zhu Ziran's heart had already set off a thousand waves, but he didn't make an angry expression on his face, he just expressed his surprise and was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "What did I do to make your girl dislike?" Say it, and I'll change it. ”
Speaking of this, she was no longer allowed to take it back, and the embroidered curtain shook her head lightly, "It's useless, the slave doesn't know what the girl is dissatisfied with Zhu Sanye?" Anyway, because the slave and maid have a few kind words for you, the girl will ...... I don't like slaves and maids, and now I am letting others take the place of slaves and maids. The words gradually took on the flavor of complaining, "The girl's mind is becoming more and more unpredictable now, and she is now gradually not letting the slave and maid wait closely, and the slave and maid feel wronged......" Speaking of the back, she twitched her nose again.
Zhu Ziran squinted at her slightly, Ye Manjun was obviously punishing this maid, he measured in his heart how much use value the embroidered curtain had, but what came to mind was Ye Manjun's face, and then the hand under his sleeve was tightly clenched, and he looked at the embroidered curtain with a sympathetic face, "Don't be sad, I'll go and plead with your girl, so that she doesn't get angry with you because of me......"
"Nope." The embroidered curtain hurriedly grabbed his arm with both hands, and at this time she didn't even care about the etiquette and education, "The slave can't affect Zhu Sanye because of me, the girl didn't say anything about her perception of Zhu Sanye, every qiē is guessed by the slave maid, Zhu Sanye, you can't go to ......" In the end, she was even more about to cry again.
Zhu Ziran looked at her for a long time, suddenly grabbed her arm, and when she looked up at him, the corners of his mouth curved, "Do you like me?" ”
"Slave maid ......" embroidered curtain cheeks flushed, and he didn't dare to say that he liked him.
"Don't call yourself a slave anymore, in my heart, I never treated you as a subordinate." Zhu Ziran said with a righteous and awe-inspiring face.
These words made the embroidered curtain greatly moved, she is a big girl, the degree of food and clothing is comparable to a small family, she has always sighed that her life is not as good as others, and now the man she likes says such things in front of her, how can she not disturb her pool of heart?
Zhu Ziran saw her spring heart floating, and suddenly hugged her again, this time the hug was different from the previous time, "Embroidered curtains, I also like a straightforward woman like you......"
The embroidered curtain couldn't resist the temptation and quietly reached out to hug him, listening to his words that seemed to be filled with honey, and a heart was sweeter than eating sugar.
It's just that happiness is often very short-lived, she recalled the gap between the two, and began to feel sorry for herself again, "Third Master Zhu, please let go of the slave maid, the slave maid is just a subordinate, not worthy of the third master, you ......"
"It's up to me whether you deserve it or not." Zhu Ziran said strongly, he lowered his head and kissed lightly on the hair of the embroidered curtain, "Embroidered curtain, don't say something contemptuous, in my heart, you are precious." ”
"But I can't get to you anyway, the girl won't agree to you and me being together......" The embroidered curtain has a clear understanding of this.
The girl has always decided that good things will not be changed lightly, and since she lacks a good impression of Zhu Ziran, she will not agree to give her to him.
"What if I marry your girl?" Zhu Ziran took a deep breath, gently pushed her out of his arms, and finally asked what he had been planning for a long time.
The embroidered curtain opened its mouth wide and was speechless for a while, "This ......"
Zhu Ziran reached out and stroked her face, "What's so surprising about this?" After the girl left the cabinet, the maids around her were not accepted by the male host? If you can follow your girl to Ruyang City, it means that you will have to cheapen your aunt in the future, so that we can be together justifiably," he drew a beautiful blueprint for her, "When the time comes, I will open your face as an aunt, and when you and I have an heir, you will be the side concubine, embroidered curtain, and I Zhu Ziran will definitely not fail you in my life." ”
Seeing him raise his hand and swear, the embroidered curtain felt a heart begin to beat wildly again, originally heard his words in the heart of a slight strange and wrong was also quickly suppressed by her, she thought of being able to fly with him and live together, and then have their children, such a life was something she could not think of before, so she asked in a trembling voice, "...... Can there really be such a day? ”
"Why can't there be? Silly embroidered curtains, happiness is for us to work together. Zhu Ziran smiled and gently pinched the bridge of her pretty nose.
Such an intimate action touched the heart of a girl in the embroidered curtain, and at this moment, she threw Ye Manjun, the master, to the back of her mind, and there was only this man who was like a god in her eyes.
The late autumn wind carried a little coolness, Ye Manjun and Zhu Ziqi walked on this bustling street, the two were not too close, but the atmosphere was quite good.
Ye Xurong is three feet behind the two, this is the opportunity he deliberately created for Zhu Zi period, compared to Zhu Ziran, he prefers this Zhu Zi period, naturally he hopes that his sister will be taller among the short ones, which is also a helpless thing.
Thinking of Zhu Ziqi's words to explain to his eldest sister, this is enough to prove that Zhu Ziqi attaches great importance to his own sister, otherwise he would not have come out of his way to clarify the misunderstanding created by Teng Yuanyuan, in his eyes, this move is above board and above repellent and blameless, compared to Zhu Ziran's actions that secretly do not see the light, I don't know how many times the light falls? At the moment, the two are immediately superior.
There are many vendors on both sides of the street, during the period of the death of the prince of the palace, singing and dancing were banned in Ruyang City, until the funeral of the prince, the ban was lifted, and many hawkers are now ready to do a few more businesses to make a living.
Ye Manjun stopped in front of a stall of silver jewelry, this silver jewelry is not exquisite, but there is still a bit of interest in the roughness, she picked up a plum hairpin and looked at it carefully, the cold plum blossoms on it looked quite pleasing.
Zhu Ziqi stepped forward to take a look, he has never been interested in these things, but it doesn't mean that he can't see the value of this thing, such rough things can't enter his eyes at all, Ye Manjun is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, what good things haven't you seen? I'm afraid that any dowry brought out of the pavilion is worth thousands of pieces of this kind of goods.
As soon as the stall owner saw that there were customers, he hurriedly smiled and stepped forward and said, "The girl has such a good eye, this is the best piece of my handiwork that I have made newly." Then he turned to Zhu Ziqi enthusiastically, "This son, buy one for your sweetheart, right?" It's best to make a love token......"
Ye Manjun, who originally wanted to inquire about the price, suddenly had red cheeks, hurriedly put it down, and glanced at the vendor with a little anger, he really dared to say anything.
Zhu Ziqi was stunned, but the three words of his sweetheart made the corners of his mouth suddenly rise for some reason, but when he saw Ye Manjun's slightly angry eyes, his face was stern again, and he glared at the peddler hurriedly, "Don't talk nonsense......
As soon as Ye Manjun heard this, she immediately raised her feet with a red face and left, it turned out that she was nothing to him, she bit her lower lip, she took it for granted, thinking of the letter she wrote home to recommend Zhu Ziqi, this time she felt even more ridiculous.
Her face grew a thin layer of frost.
Zhu Ziqi saw her face cold, and she raised her feet and left, she didn't know what she said wrong that made her unhappy, obviously the atmosphere between the two of them was quite good before, although she didn't talk much, but she was unusually comfortable with her.
The peddler said: "You are miserable, you said the wrong thing, this time the girl is annoyed with you, why don't you hurry up and buy this hairpin to make amends to her......"
Zhu Ziqi was about to leave, intending to follow Ye Manjun to say something to ease the stalemate atmosphere, but when he heard that the promoter was talking nonsense again, he glared at him angrily, "It's all you talking nonsense, if you dare to talk nonsense, don't blame the master for being polite......"
The peddler didn't know why, but he was not afraid of Zhu Ziqi, who was very introverted at the moment, "This lord, the girl is annoyed, this is not bad for me, it is you who said the wrong thing." You say I'm talking nonsense, doesn't it make it clear that the girl doesn't know your sweetheart, this is not a little nonsense, so many people here listen to it, just ask everyone......" He then pulled his friend who was also a hawker next to him, "You come to judge the theory." ”
The hawker's friend was also busy saying: "This master is not enlightened, the little one has been listening here for a while and can see the clues, the girl is willing to walk with you, isn't it giving you a chance, you are good, I even missed the opportunity to confess, I see that the girl must be annoyed by you at this time......"
"That's right." The vendor who had the hairpin nodded hurriedly, looking like a person who had come over.
Where did Zhu Ziqi, who is in a high position, suffer such ridicule? Seeing that Ye Manjun was about to drown in the crowd, he suddenly felt anxious, and raised his feet to chase her, it seemed that as long as she turned around, he would never find her again.
The hairpin seller watched this man who seemed to be the God of Wealth leave, and couldn't help but sigh with pity, the one who could have made a deal of business used the radical method, but he still couldn't sell it, so he could only sigh and sort out the items on the stall with his own bad luck.
Suddenly, a silver ingot fell on his stall, and before he had time to take a closer look, he saw that the plum blossom hairpin before was picked up by a big hand, "I want this." ”
Isn't this voice the man who didn't open up and annoyed the beautiful woman before? He hurriedly looked up, sure enough, it was Zhu Ziqi, he didn't expect him to turn around, and when he saw him turn around and leave, he hurriedly picked up the ingot of silver and shouted in a hurry, "This master, this is too much, the small one can't be found...... Hey, sir, don't go, it's really too much......"
He couldn't be happy at this time, seeing that this master was a rich and powerful master, it would be bad if he came back to trouble him one day.
"I'll reward you more." Zhu Zi didn't reply to his sentence without replying.
I didn't expect this ordinary plum hairpin to be sold at a high price, and the hawker was so happy that he didn't know how to react? Bite this heavy silver ingot, bite it, your teeth hurt, and see the tooth marks on it, which proves that this silver ingot, which is full of twenty taels, is real, and this time it is really developed.
Immediately he smirked.
Zhu Ziqi saw that the crowd seemed to be drowning Ye Manjun, and gradually disappeared from her figure, in a hurry, he even used light skills, and only then did he catch up with Ye Manjun after crossing the crowd, but at this time, the beautiful woman was being helped into the carriage by Ye Xurong, and he was going to go home.
"Miss Ye?" He hurriedly shouted.
"What's the matter with Second Master Zhu?" Ye Manjun turned his head and looked at him with a slightly cold face, unmoved by his imperceptible panic.
Feeling Ye Manjun's coldness, the plum blossom silver hairpin in Zhu Ziqi's hand just couldn't give it away, he quietly hid the silver hairpin in his sleeve, coughed lightly, and regained his usual face, "Miss Ye is going back?" ”
"I see that it's not early, it's better to go back early, after all, it's been some time since I've been out, so Mrs. Ma won't worry about me." Even if Ye Manjun is uncomfortable, the expression on her face is still the style of everyone's ladies, which is the cultivation she engraves in her bones.
"I'll send Miss Ye back." Zhu Ziqi said busily.
Ye Manjun frowned slightly, she intended to refuse, since this person didn't take her to heart, she couldn't afford to stick a hot face to his cold ass, and blamed King Ruyang for proposing such an unreasonable proposal.
Ye Xurong responded before the eldest sister: "That's very good, with Second Master Zhu escorting, we can rest assured." ”
"Brother Rong?" Ye Manjun hurriedly called his brother.
"Sister, I'm not wrong, what happened on this street last time is still vivid, I'm really afraid that history will repeat itself, and I don't know if I can protect you from being safe and sound with my appearance?" Ye Xurong did not hesitate to belittle himself, in fact, what he said was also the truth, just because of what happened last time, this time he didn't know how many people he brought, just to prevent the cold arrow from shooting at his own sister.
Ye Manjun couldn't refute her brother's words, and she also knew that her brother was right.
When Zhu Ziqi thought of the scene of that day, his face suddenly turned cold, in fact, after that day, he secretly sent more people to protect Ye Manjun, ready for someone to suddenly attack.
But no matter how many people are not him, it is more reassuring to personally escort her back, at this time he nodded lightly at Ye Xurong, "What Ye Gongzi said is that this is just a gesture, and Miss Ye doesn't have to shirk too much." ”
Speaking of this, Ye Manjun couldn't refute it, so he had to nod in agreement.
Seeing Ye Manjun sitting down in the carriage, Zhu Ziqi sat on the horse led by his subordinates, and protected Ye Manjun's carriage with Ye Xurong left and right.
Ye Manjun, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain slightly and secretly looked at Zhu Ziqi outside, his eyes were staring at his side face tightly, but his heart was undulating, the embroidered curtain was not wrong that day, compared to Zhu Ziran's hypocrisy, this Zhu Ziqi could get her heart more.
After all, from the time she went ashore to the present, he has protected her thoroughly, including the way she rescued her last time, and this qiē is deeply imprinted in her heart.
This time, the bead curtain and the water curtain that waited for her did not make a sound, and sat without squinting.
For a while, afraid that Zhu Ziqi would find out her voyeurism, her fingers loosened slightly, and the small corner of the car curtain that was slightly exposed was covered, and it also instantly covered Zhu Ziqi's gaze that sensed her gaze.
Seeing that the curtains of the car were just shaking with the car, and no one deliberately lifted them, Zhu Ziqi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and the previous feeling was that he really thought too much.
The two of them had their own hearts, and soon arrived at the official office of the imperial court in Ruyang City.
Entering the door, Zhu Ziqi got off the horse, Ye Manjun was also helped down by the maid, so she had to say goodbye to Zhu Ziqi in person, stepping on the stepping stool, she just stood still, and before she had time to speak, she saw Zhu Ziran walking out of it with a smile.
Zhu Ziran didn't seem to see his second brother, but arched his hand towards Ye Manjun, "Miss Ye is finally back......"
"Zhu Sanye is looking for a little girl?" Ye Manjun frowned slightly.
Zhu Ziran didn't seem to see her reaction, but said to herself: "It's not a hurry, I just heard that Miss Ye wants to find a shop, no, there are a few shops in the next hand, if Miss Ye needs it, you can transfer or rent, the price is negotiable." ”
He didn't explicitly say the word gift, but used the strategy of retreating as advance, so that he could meet Ye Manjun's needs without looking like Meng Lang, obviously he did it after calculation.
Zhu Ziqi frowned, he was deeply dissatisfied with this Zhu Ziran's actions, and originally wanted to reprimand this younger brother a few words, but he swallowed it back into his stomach, and at this moment he also wanted to see how Ye Manjun would react?
Ye Manjun didn't even think about it, so he responded with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have found a suitable store, so I don't need to trouble Zhu Zaiye to give me profits, otherwise I will make Zhu Sanye embarrassed?" That's not mine. ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, she refused, and there was still no room for reluctance.
Zhu Ziran was furious in his heart, but his face was not obvious, obviously the embroidered curtain said that she had not found a suitable store, but at this time she directly refused his kindness, this woman really didn't know what to do, hum, when he got her, he must give her a little color to see, don't think that it is from the capital to be so high.
"That's a pity, I thought I could help Miss Ye." He said politely, "If Miss Ye changes her mind, you can still come to Zaixia, and wait for Miss Ye to come at any time." ”
"Third brother, Miss Ye said that she found the storefront, so keep your storefronts for your own use, don't pester Miss Ye like a fly." Zhu Ziqi circled his hands and said coldly, not leaving any face for this third brother.
Zhu Ziran's face turned red, but he has always been accustomed to showing people with a gentle and elegant face, and he can't openly turn against Zhu Ziqi at this time.
Ye Xurong burst out laughing, showing that the carriage and horse were on Zhu Ziqi's side.
Zhu Ziran's face was so rigid that he was about to break the power and twist together.
Ye Manjun also felt that Zhu Ziqi was funny, but she still didn't laugh out loud because of her identity, and bowed slightly to the brothers, "After shopping for so long, the little woman is also tired, so I will go back to the backyard to rest first, and I can't send each other off in anger." ”
As soon as the words fell, she no longer looked at the two brothers, but led her to the backyard.
Zhu Ziqi looked at her and passed by like this, and when he saw the third brother's eyes that couldn't hide the coldness, he suddenly thought that if Ye Manjun's ears softened the third brother's pawn, he was afraid that he would have to wash his face with tears for the rest of his life.
Just thinking about this scene made him feel extremely difficult to accept, and he didn't want to see her in pain.
After three steps and two steps, he caught up with Ye Manjun, took out the plum blossom silver hairpin on the cuff and stuffed it into Ye Manjun's hand, and said stiffly, "Give it to you." ”――

Sorry, but I'm late during the day, so please forgive me!
