Chapter Seventy-Six: Benefactor......
Xu Jinyu was reluctantly "escorted" by the Zou family to thank her.
Xu Zheng seemed to see her reluctance, and said in a low voice: "Later, my mother and I will deal with it, and you won't be silent." "An innocent girl's family, it is inevitable that such things will be in your heart. He, as an elder brother, doesn't have a taste in his heart.
But now is not the time to care about this, it is a fact that Chen Yuanzhao saved Xu Jinyu, and he has to thank him.
Xu Jinyu calmed down and smiled at Xu Zheng.
It's okay, bear with it and pass it perfunctorily.
The door of the guest room where Chen Yuanzhao was staying was hidden and not closed, and Ye's voice was faintly heard inside: "Yuanzhao, why did you suddenly jump into the water to save people today?" I heard that it was a girl's family who was saved, and it was the young lady of the Xu family."
Chen Yuanzhao was probably impatient with Ye's interrogation, and he didn't say anything.
Xu Zheng personally stepped forward and knocked on the door: "May I ask if Second Prince Chen is inside?" ”
The voices in the room were silent.
The door soon opened, and it was the tall and cold guard Zhou Cong.
The Zou sisters walked in first, and Xu Jinyu followed in. If she could, she really didn't want to meet Chen Yuanzhao again. But who made the family her "benefactor"? It makes sense that this trip is a must!
After Xu Jinyu entered the room, she stood beside Zou with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and didn't look up at anyone at all.
, therefore, I missed the gaze cast by Dow and Ye.
Tao was originally prejudiced against Xu Jinyu, but now that he was rescued from the water, it is even more unpleasant to look at Xu Jinyu.
What an accident overboard! It's clearly misbehaving. deliberately lured ~ lured Chen Yuanzhao to save her. I want to use the trick of clearing my name and being ruined to climb up to the Anguo Mansion! All this scheming was in vain! Let's not mention that the Xu family has a humble background, and they are not worthy of the Anguo Mansion at all. Not to mention that Chen Yuanzhao is indifferent by nature and is not close to women at all. Xu Jinyu is long and beautiful. Chen Yuanzhao wouldn't look at her more.
Yep's reaction was much more subtle.
For so many years, how have you ever seen Chen Yuanzhao pay so much attention to women?
If Chen Yuanzhao had no intention, let alone falling into the water, he wouldn't have taken a second look even if he jumped into the water. This time, he took the initiative to save people
Ye's gaze swept over Xu Jinyu's gentle and beautiful face, and his eyes flashed slightly.
Zou said with a grateful face: "Jin Niang accidentally fell into the water, thanks to Chen Ergongzi's timely rescue, our mother and daughter are grateful." Today is a guest in the palace. Only verbal thanks can be given. Another day, I will definitely lead Jinniang and personally come to the door to thank you. ”
Ye smiled very gently: "Mrs. Xu is polite." For Yuan Zhao, it's just a gesture! Besides, we're in-laws. It is also appropriate to watch over and help each other. ”
As soon as the word in-law came out, not to mention the Zou family, even the little Zou family was a little flattered.
Xiao Zou's wife, Mrs. Wei Ninghou, looked at the scenery, but after all, she was born as a concubine. It's the step-room again. It doesn't hurt to be powerful and blessed in the Hou Mansion. But when it comes to the occasion where the nobles and ladies gather, they can't help but feel a little lacking in confidence. The Anguo Mansion and the Weining Marquis Mansion are indeed in-laws, but this in-law relationship has nothing to do with Xiao Zou's family. This Duchess of Anguo, whose family background and beauty are better than herself, obviously looks down on Xiao Zou, and the most she can meet on weekdays is a few polite greetings.
Today, the Ye family was particularly kind and easy-going, and after chatting with the Zou family for a few words. looked at Xu Jinyu with a smile again: "Is your girlfriend's name Jinniang?" ”
The elder opened his mouth to ask, and Xu Jinyu had to answer: "My maiden name is Jinyu." ”
The voice is warm and pleasant.
The smile in Ye's eyes was a little more: "Jinyu." Holding Jin Huaiyu is a good name. He smiled at Chen Yuanzhao again: "Fortunately, you acted quickly today and saved Miss Xu in time." The girl's body is weak and delicate, but she can't afford to toss. ”
As soon as Ye said this, Xu Jinyu couldn't pretend to be quails anymore. took two steps forward and bowed dignifiedly: "Thank you for the help of Second Prince Chen." ”
The two inevitably had to face each other.
Chen Yuanzhao subconsciously glanced at Xu Jinyu's pretty face, and didn't know what he remembered, his thick eyebrows frowned, and he still said in a cold tone: "I don't know water, just stay away from the pond." ”
Isn't the water so close to the pool, is it impatient to live a long life?
Although this sentence was not spoken, it was fully expressed in Chen Yuanzhao's expression.
The anger in Xu Jinyu's heart swished out.
I love how close I am, what does it have to do with you! Who saved me from your troubles? Even if you come to the rescue, you are not qualified to dictate my actions!
"Thank you for the reminder." Xu Jinyu replied with a smile: "Today's accident is enough to make people frightened. Even if Chen Ergongzi didn't say it, I would never dare to get close to the pond again. ”
The words of thanks are decent, and there is nothing wrong with them.
Only Chen Yuanzhao, who was directly opposite, keenly captured the disapproval and displeasure in her eyes.
What is soft and gentle, it is all a disguise at all.
Xu Zheng took a step forward and said with a smile: "This time it was Jin Niang who accidentally fell into the water for a while, with this lesson, I will naturally be more careful in the future." "The meaning of protection is very obvious.
Chen Yuanzhao glanced at Xu Zheng's brother and sister lightly and stopped talking.
It's almost time to say thank you. Xiao Zou glanced at Zou, and the two sisters said goodbye politely to Ye and Tao. Xu Jinyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I don't have to face Chen Yuanzhao anymore!
Of course, she wasn't afraid of him! She just didn't like that cold and ruthless handsome face
After Xu Jinyu and the others left, Tao immediately snorted coldly: "A few girls' families are enjoying fish by the pool, why did she fall into the water alone?" In my opinion, this Xu Jinyu is not a gentle and pure character. Yuan Zhao, you were too impulsive at the time. Just let the guards save people, why did you rush over yourself? There are a lot of people who come to the Qin Palace's Mansion today, and once this thing spreads, it will not be good for your reputation. ”
As soon as these words came out, even Ye couldn't help frowning.
That's a bit mean.
No one would joke with their lives. A girl's house that doesn't know how to water, falling into the water must be an accident. Taking a step back, even if Xu Jinyu has the heart to approach Chen Yuanzhao, it depends on whether Chen Yuanzhao is willing to save people. This kind of thing spreads, and it will have a greater impact on the reputation of women! What impact can it have on men?
Besides, Chen Yuanzhao's reputation for not being close to women has long been known. No one thinks too much.
Before Tao could open his mouth to speak, Ye Shi suddenly smiled half-truthfully and half-truthfully: "The second brother and sister seem to be particularly displeased with Miss Xu, could it be that Miss Xu has done something that makes you unhappy?" ”
Tao's expression froze, and he denied it curtly: "No, how can my sister-in-law think so." I've only seen her twice in total, and I haven't even said a few words, so what is the prejudice. ”
"It's good to be unbiased." Ye Shi smiled faintly: "Otherwise, if these words are spread, I am afraid that it will cause misunderstanding." After all, we and the Weining Marquis Mansion are in-laws, so it's better to be generous in our words and actions. ”
In terms of tongue, where is Tao's opponent of the Ye family, he was defeated in a few words, and squeezed out a smile and said: "What my sister-in-law said is that I was excited and lost my words just now." ”
Chen Yuanzhao was not interested in the verbal exchange between the two, got up and said, "I'll go out first." ”
So saying, he walked out.
This time, it was Ye's turn with an unhappy face.
Chen Yuanzhao has been seldom talkative and indifferent since he was a child. Since entering the barracks, he has become more and more cold. and her mother is not very close. After Chen Yuanzhao returned to Beijing this time, the mother and son were like a thick layer of ice between them, indifferent and unfamiliar.
The Ye family had the intention to ease, but unfortunately Chen Yuanzhao rarely returned home, and occasionally met, and broke up without saying a few words
Seeing that Ye's face was ugly, Tao suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
The name of Duchess An Guo sounds beautiful, but in careful comparison, Ye's situation is not much better than her.
Although she became a widow at an early age, she had an obedient and filial son. The Ye family and her husband are inseparable, An Guogong has not stepped into the door of the Ye family for many years, and the beautiful concubines are accepted into the mansion one after another. The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are just respectful to the Ye family, and the only son, Chen Yuanzhao, is not in the house all the year round, and is neither intimate nor obedient.
"Sister-in-law, Yuan Zhao has always been such a character, don't take it to heart." Dow comforted with kind words: "He has been in the barracks for a long time, and his temperament has become cold and hard, and he can't say anything soft." In the future, when you get married and marry a wife, it will naturally be fine. ”
Is this a comfort or a poke at her heart?
Ye Shi sneered in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, I also hope that he will marry a wife and have children as soon as possible, and spread the branches and leaves for the Chen family." But with his temper, which girl is willing to marry him! I'm so heartbroken. ”
Tao felt a little empathetic and sighed lightly: "Pity us mothers, worrying about our sons all day long. If the son is obedient, he is most afraid that he will not appreciate it. ”
Ye Shi was poked in the sore spot again, pulled the corners of his lips and said, "That's it, don't talk about this." Yuan Zhao has already gotten up and left, let's go and say goodbye to Princess Qin!" ”
in another room.
After Gu Caiping changed into clean clothes, he sat there in a daze, his expression changing. One moment gritting his teeth, the other moment showing resentment, mixed with panic and restlessness, his pretty face was faintly distorted.
What to do?
What was she going to do?
Xu Jinyu will definitely tell her about being pushed into the water, and when the time comes, how will she face Xiao Zou and others? And what face do you have to meet your brother-in-law?
What kind of devil did she have before, how could she come up with such a stupid idea! Now that it's all over, the dignified and gentle image she painstakingly maintained will soon be exposed by Xu Jinyu.
There is only one way to go. Death does not admit it! Never admit it!
When Gu Caiping was in turmoil, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door. (To be continued......) R1292
