Chapter Twenty-Six: The Joke

When Zhen returned, Du Yunluo was playing chess with Du Yunru.

The sunlight shone through the window lattice, enveloping the girl sitting on the couch by the window, the two of them were already white-skinned and shining in the sun.

Du Yunru lowered her eyes and looked at the chessboard, with a little caution and consideration between her eyebrows, Du Yunluo pinched the chess pieces, her hair fell on her face and made a shadow, and she couldn't see that there was only black and white in her eyes.

The two were so engrossed that they didn't even know that Zhen was back.

The maid wanted to report, Zhen made a silent gesture, stood in the middle room for a while, and looked carefully at a pair of sisters.

Unconsciously, Zhen smiled, so gentle that she seemed to be able to drip water, and her two daughters really made her fall in love.

Du Yunluo fell, Du Yunru went to Qilou to take the words, and when she moved her eyes to see Zhen, she was surprised: "Mother! ”

When Du Yunluo heard the sound, she hurriedly turned around and saw Zhen standing there, she jumped down from the couch and ran out with her shoes on: "Mother is back, why are you still standing here?" ”

"Which of you won?" Zhen smiled and was dragged by Du Yunluo into the east room.

"Mother, Yunluo, this ghost girl, is getting more and more difficult!" Du Yunru also greeted him, "I'm clamoring to regret the move." ”

"You'll let her." Zhen smiled.

Du Yunru was about to say no, but when she raised her eyes and saw that Du Yunluo had secretly moved a few chess pieces, she hurriedly said, "Mother!" Look at this girl, stealing chess pieces! ”

was discovered, Du Yunluo didn't blush, threw the chess pieces back into the chess building, came over and hugged Du Yunru's waist, and shook it: "Sister let me." ”

Du Yunru was angry and funny, and pinched her sister's cheek: "Stinky chess!" No more chess with you! ”

Du Yunluo couldn't stop laughing.

Her chess skills are actually not bad, and she used to have a lot of time that she didn't know how to spend and occasionally used it to play chess.

It's just that this skill, in front of Du Yunru, who is proficient in chess, can't be compared at all, so that she gave birth to a child's heart, and she has to regret chess and steal children.

Anyway, my sister indulges her anyway, and they're just having fun.

Seeing them playing, Du Yunluo's expression was no longer flustered or sad, which made her feel at ease.

Du Huaili came back when he was in charge of the lamp, and Zhen left his two daughters in the room and followed her husband into the inner room.

said that it was to change clothes for Du Huaili, but in fact, it was for the outside thing.

Du Huaili is not good at rumors, but he is in the sixth department, and he is Du Yunluo's father, so naturally news will reach his ears.

After returning home, he had already been to Lianfuyuan and knew the situation at home, Du Huaili held Zhen's hand: "You are right, if the marriage is decided, it should be beautiful." ”

Zhen saw that his eyebrows were a little less gentle and indifferent, and couldn't help asking, "Is the master okay?" ”

Du Huaili breathed a sigh of relief, gently hugged Zhen for a while, and then said, "I'm fine, I'm just worried about Yunluo." ”

Zhen sighed secretly, they were all worried.

Du Yunluo's mentality at this time is good, everything is under her control, although she has caused some gossip, but compared to the cold and lonely in her previous life, what is the rumor?

She and Du Yunru helped set the table together, and only returned to Anhua Courtyard after accompanying her parents to dinner.

The next day, Mrs. Shi arrived in the morning.

In Qinghui Garden, Zhen was looking at the newly delivered summer clothes, comparing them one by one, listening to the report, knowing that Mrs. Shi had gone to Lianfu Garden, her heart was tight, her eyes were so resolute that she was about to beat a drum in front of the battle, so she packed up her things and waited for Mrs. Shi to come over.

Du Yunru held Du Yunluo's hand and did not avoid it, but hid in the blue yarn cabinet like last time.

Du Yunluo followed her in, and said with a smile: "Sister doesn't wait to salute Mrs. Shi?" ”

Du Yunru's face turned red, and she whispered, "I'm doing this for you." ”

The two sisters went back and forth word by word, and when they heard the news from the maid outside, they hurriedly shut their mouths.

Zhen welcomed Mrs. Shi in, sat down together, and let Shui Yue add tea and snacks.

Mrs. Shi smiled, seeing that the two girls were not there, she was secretly relieved, she was not a person who liked to go around in circles, so she simply got straight to the point: "Sister Zhen should also know my intention." ”

Zhen bowed his head and said: "I am close to my sister, and I don't talk about those long and short, my sister came from Lianfu Garden, and she should already know what our old lady meant." ”

What Mrs. Xia meant, that is, to ask for a holy decree.

Mrs. Shi's hand on her lap couldn't help but clench, and her heart sank: "How can the holy decree be so easy to ask for." ”

"I understand the reason," Zhen interrupted Mrs. Shi's words, "but that is the tip of my heart, and now it has caused such criticism, I ......

This matter is not only about Yunluo's reputation, but also about the reputation of the prince, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is not thinking about Yunluo, but also thinking about the prince. The most important thing is that there is no holy decree from the county lord of An Ran, and God knows when she will make trouble!

If you want me to say, if she really likes the son, it is better for her to ask for the holy decree to marry in, as long as it does not affect my mother. ”

"My sister is angry when she says this, at this time, whether the county lord marries or not, Yunluo girl is involved." After Mrs. Shi finished speaking, seeing the tears in Zhen's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed in her heart.

Mrs. Shi came to protect the media, naturally hoping that this was a good fate, seeing that the matter was about to be done, but it changed halfway, she was somewhat uncomfortable.

At first, I thought that if the Du family had responded here earlier, and the two families had joined forces earlier, where would there be these turmoil, but I thought about it again, if she was Mrs. Xia and Zhen's, she would have to drag on these days, first, to think clearly, and second, not to let the man look down.

In vain, the turmoil is only to blame the county lord An Ran, not Du Yunluo's head.

Thinking of the delicate Du Yunluo, I heard that she cried a lot yesterday, and Mrs. Shi was distressed.

"Hey!" Mrs. Shi took a sip of the teacup, stabilized her mind, and said, "I will go to the Hou Mansion to mention it, but whether it is successful or not, I dare not pack the ticket." ”

Zhen got this sentence, and was about to thank him, but he thought about it violently, and said: "It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, according to the rules, the king, the prince, the Hou, and the Bofu will all enter the palace to kowtow......"

"Yes, why don't you take this opportunity and let the Hou Mansion mention it?" Mrs. Shi also thinks this time is good.

Zhen shook his head: "Sister, when the time comes, it will not only be the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but also the Jingguo Mansion that will enter the palace." ”

Mrs. Shi's eyebrows raised, and her heart beat slowly: "What do you mean......"

"That's the county lord of Anran, the pearl of the old man's palm, when the Guogong Mansion speaks, maybe this holy decree will fall on their mansion, then our Yunluo, won't it become a joke in the whole world?" When Zhen said this, his whole face was pale, but his complexion was worse than when he was sick a while ago.

When Mrs. Shi heard this, she was also a little anxious: "It is reasonable, it is reasonable, I will go to the Hou Mansion, since they want to marry Yunluo girl, they have to hurry up by themselves." ”

Zhen was relieved at this time, and urged: "Then I won't keep my sister, and Yunluo's affairs will be handed over to my sister." ”

Mrs. Shi answered, didn't sit long, and left.

The two sisters came out of the blue yarn cupboard, Zhen saw that Du Yunluo didn't say a word, guessing that she was scared by the "joke of the whole world", and couldn't help but feel distressed, so he pulled her into his arms: "Don't be afraid, if you have a mother, you will not let Nan Nan suffer." ”
