Chapter 138: The Matter of Proposing Marriage
Sima Mingzhu's face was full of black glaze, and his lips were blood-red, and his teeth were white. She was wearing men's clothes, which was not normal, not like the master or the subordinate, and I didn't know where she got it, it was kind of funny and weird.
Lin Zhu couldn't help but laugh out loud several times.
This makeup technique is so clumsy, and I don't know how she came from the capital with a big black face.
Seeing that she was just laughing, Sima Mingzhu straightened her face and said, "Isn't it funny?" Don't laugh. β
The tone is very domineering.
Lin Zhu suddenly realized that she was a princess, so she was naturally willful, and she could do anything.
She hurriedly took back the smile that came up again, and asked with a smiling face very servilely: "Miss Mingzhu, are you looking for a carefree son?" Unfortunately, my son-in-law didn't come, and the slave hadn't seen her for a long time. β
People are real princesses who are like fakes, and it is worth it to be a little servile, and it seems to be nature.
Sima Mingzhu saw that she didn't smile anymore, and her face softened. looked at the left and right very mysteriously, and said, "Miss Ben, I'm not looking for Brother Wuwu today." β
Specifically looking for her? No, where is she so capable.
Lin Zhu was startled, could it be that she recognized herself? Specially here?
Immediately denied. I didn't recognize it the first two times, even if I remembered it. I can't come to her specifically, she's just a little maid.
He stepped forward very doggedly and asked very smartly: "Miss Mingzhu is looking for the young master?" The slave and maid have never seen it again. β
It was the first time she saw through the princess's mind.
After asking, she peeked very proudly. It must be where that Jin Xiaoguang has gone, she can't find it.
Who knew that Sima Mingzhu still shook his head. Stretched out his hand and took her arm and asked, "Do you know where Young Master Jin Zhenjin's family lives?" β
I'm here to find Young Master Jin Zhenjin! Lin Zhu's thoughts were a little unacceptable.
She empathized so quickly?
She stared at her a little incredulously, trying to find out.
Although Young Master Jin Zhen is handsome and has a fairy appearance, he is more enchanting than a woman between his eyebrows and eyes, and he is a demon-level man.
But Jin Xiaoguang is also not bad, with a noble temperament, a combination of rigidity and softness. A pair of deep eyes can almost penetrate a person's heart. In her opinion, it is more manly.
Of course, this feeling is to tell the truth, otherwise it is just how Jiang Hao, who looks a bit like Jiang Hao in her previous life, attracted her, and without a word of commitment, she persevered for ten years.
Seeing her doubts, Sima Mingzhu was a little impatient, frowned and said, "Where is Young Master Jin Zhen's home?" Hurry up and take me there. β
Lin Zhu hurriedly retracted his thoughts. Let's hurry up and take her there. I can't afford to mess with it.
Qinglian, who couldn't see her face clearly at all, also followed: "Just hurry up and say that you don't know!" Our young lady is really in trouble. β
Still so eager! The relationship seems to be deep.
She hurriedly said, "Of course I do." Right behind the vegetable garden. Lived next door to my grandmother's house. The slave maid will take the young lady over. β
Sima Mingzhu's eyes immediately flickered with flames, making her face even darker and shinier. She pulled Lin Zhu and said, "Take me quickly." β
How can these two have anything to do with each other? What kind of connection?
If you're in such a hurry, shouldn't you already be in a dark position? That's a bit unrealistic. Every time this princess comes to follow her, the people are mighty.
She quickly gossiped a little, and hurriedly said, "Miss Mingzhu, please wait a minute, I'll go and tell my father." β
After saying that, he hurried into the courtyard.
Cai Er and his wife were looking out anxiously inside. The daughter went out with two strange people. They sweated in their palms.
Lin Zhu told them that Miss Mingzhu was looking for Young Master Jin Zhen......
Cai Er's hanging heart was relaxed, and he covered his chest and said quietly: "You said that this Miss Mingzhu, if you are looking for Young Master Jin, you will find Young Master Jin." It's so bothering. It's really a rich lady, trying to have fun by all means. β
He didn't know the relationship between Jin Zhen and Sima Mingzhu, thinking that they were also very familiar and were just joking. I feel bored.
Lin Zhu took Sima Mingzhu to find Jin Zhen, and he was a little selfish in his heart. Jiu'er told her that she liked Young Master Jin Zhen and wanted to serve him for the rest of her life, and she hoped that Young Master Jin Zhen would marry Jiu'er.
As for Lin Yun's crush on Young Master Jin Zhen, she ignored it.
It stands to reason that she can say that she doesn't know, but she is a princess, so since she has found her, let's take her there.
She led the way in front, and Sima Mingzhu Qinglian covered her face with her sleeves behind her. It looked even stranger, causing several passers-by to stop and look.
She pursed her lips with disdain: It's all like this, what else is there to hide? No one will recognize it.
It was Jiu'er who opened the door. I was surprised to see Lin Zhulu.
Seeing that there were two other people behind her, she frowned and looked over.
Lin Zhu hurriedly said: "Sister Jiu'er, is Young Master Jin here?" The two looked for her. β
Jiu'er glanced at it a few times, and already recognized it as Sima Mingzhu, and secretly admired Gongzi's judgment. He said that Sima Mingzhu would come in the next few days.
He also commanded that if he came, please come in.
She hurriedly stepped back and said, "My young master is here, two of you, please." β
Sima Mingzhu went straight into the courtyard and followed Jiu'er into the main house.
Lin Zhu was a little curious and followed in.
Jin Zhen was sitting at the table reading a book when she saw Lin Shu smiling softly at her. Rise.
Sima Mingzhu looked at him without blinking, and his eyes were almost bursting with tears.
Lin Zhu once again affirmed that there must be a love between men and women, and it is very deep.
was figuring it out, when she saw Qinglian turn her face and say to her and Jiu'er, "Let's go out." The young lady has something to say to Young Master Jin. β
She is Sima Mingzhu's personal palace maid, the two are master servants in front of people, and they are sisters behind their backs. Sima Mingzhu has a bad temper and is willful, but he treats her very well, so good that he has nothing to talk about.
He told her about his affair with Jin Zhen. Seeing that the princess was thinking about it for a while, she was full of young master Jin Zhen and almost collapsed.
People are getting thinner and thinner day by day, but they can't find a reason to leave the palace.
It just so happened that yesterday an opera troupe entered the palace to celebrate the queen's birthday, and the head of the troupe happened to be her fellow villager. She coerced and seduced. forced the class owner to paint the faces of the two, put on costumes, and mix them up.
I didn't figure out how to get in.
Lin Zhu followed Qinglian Jiu'er out of the door, and his heart was even more strange. These two people are not related, just after eating a meal, they really get to the point where they need to be alone together?
In ancient times, there was no mobile phone or anything? How are they connected?
It seems that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
When the three of them had reached the middle of the courtyard, they heard the door slam shut, and there was a great movement in the house, as if the tables and chairs had been kicked over and knocked down.
It's so open! Can't wait!
I heard the voice of Young Master Jin Zhen from the house: "Jiu'er, take Zhu'er to the backyard to have a look"
The voice was unexpectedly unsettling.
There is also a vegetable patch behind the small courtyard of the Jin family. At this time, it has just been turned over. The soil is slightly reddish. There are many wild flowers and grasses growing on the vegetable stalks.
The tall and clumsy Li Zhushan was watering the ground with a big wooden bucket in one hand, and saw Jiu'er take Lin Zhuqinglian to put down the bucket and say hello: "Zhu'er, you are here." β
Lin Zhu smiled and glanced at Mei Jiugong, who was squatting in front of several huts on the courtyard wall behind the vegetable field, and said, "Brother Dashan, it hasn't been planted in the field yet." I've been eating everything in my yard for months. β
Mei Jiugong had already gotten up. Bend over. The cloudy eyes were very kind and smiled at Lin Zhu. Walk slowly along the stalk.
Lin Zhu stared at his footsteps curiously, this old servant rarely spoke, and he didn't know if he could speak. Lin Yun wanted to come in several times to take a look. They all retreated under his eyes. According to her, his eyes were terrifying. Especially when it's slightly dark, it shines green like a cat's eye. She didn't see it, she had seen him once or twice when it was dark, but she felt very comfortable, nothing unusual, maybe Lin Yun had a crush on Young Master Jin, and she was a little weak-hearted.
Li Zhushan poured a large bucket of well water into the ground, listened to the somewhat dry soil and drank the water, and said honestly: "It's not that there were last year's leek roots in the ground, and I have eaten it for a while." There are also spinach, coriander, and radish, but after the young master went to your vegetable garden last time, he felt that he should plant some good vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplant, beans, peppers, and cabbage, so he ordered me to clean up all the vegetables in the field. Your father said that he raised seedlings for us, and he can keep up. β
Lin Zhu suddenly realized: "No wonder my father raised some vegetable seedlings in the west corner, it turned out to be for you." But my dad said it's not too late, it's actually a little late, my cucumbers can be eaten, eggplants are as big as a thumb, pepper flowers are falling, and cabbage is so big. β
Li Zhushan listened to her speak in a clear manner, and it was very crisp and good-sounding, hehe just giggled.
She looked more and more like a dead princess, and her voice was a little similar, but the princess was more gentle.
Jiu'er took Qinglian to the small garden on the other side of the well, and the two sat on the stone bench at the edge of the garden, watching a few roses and peonies in the garden bloom brightly, and a few butterflies flew around.
Jiu'er and Qinglian are not familiar with each other, and they are not very comfortable in their hearts. She understood the young master's intentions for Princess Mingzhu in her heart, but she was unwilling after all, and she had already regarded herself as the young master's person after all these years of getting along day and night. But so far, there has been no progress.
Qinglian thinks that she is a palace maid, and she is the personal palace maid of the emperor's favorite princess Mingzhu, and she disdains to be in the company of a small family like Jiu'er, and the two just sit dry and don't speak.
Li Zhushan talked to Lin Zhu about planting vegetables, he followed his godfather Mei Jiugong to run around for the princess and princess since he was a child, where can he care about what vegetables to grow, but he came here for this time to hide people's eyes and ears, and he carried a shovel every day to make a show. Jin Zhen didn't care about him, and Mei Jiugong didn't know much either. That is, last year, Cai Er came over to help sprinkle some vegetable seeds and green onions.
So he dug up the leek roots in the field and uprooted them all. Go to the vegetable garden and ask Caier to help grow some better and more important vegetables. Actually, I just want to see the forest trees.
Lin Zhu kept talking about the sowing time and harvest time of the vegetables he knew. How long is it best to eat. How to eat well, tell him without reservation.
It's still there.
Inside, the sun shines through the pink curtains, and the air is filled with strange fragrances. Jin Zhen was lying on the wide and soft bed with sweat all over, his hands resting under his head and looking at the ceiling, his smooth body shining with silver light.
Sima Mingzhu, who was also drenched in sweat, snuggled up to his chest shyly.
Liangjiu Jin Zhen asked softly: "Miss Mingzhu, you said that your home is in the west of the capital, and your father's name is Sima Qingtian." Xiaosheng searched the capital almost all over, but he didn't find the mansion. Miss Mingzhu shouldn't want to sue SΓΉ Xiaosheng. β
Sima Mingzhu's face turned red, the last time she lingered, she told Jin Zhen that her father's name was Sima Qingtian, and he lived in the west of the capital.
She just said this casually, but she didn't expect Jin Zhen to really look for it.
She didn't lie much, but she didn't dare to tell her identity at will, for fear of scaring Jin Zhen, and for fear that once he knew, he would disappear forever.
After all, if you are unmarried, this is called adultery. A flat-headed common man who dares to have an adulterous affair with a dignified princess is called abduction. It is a great crime to kill the head and destroy the nine clans.
She thought for a while and said, "Young Master Jin, we are all like this, we still don't want to know what my family is doing." β
After all, she has only passed sixteen, and she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she doesn't know anything.
Jin Zhen gently pecked her little face and said, "Miss Jing said childish things. A small and dignified man, and he has read the books of sages, since he has ruined the innocence of the young lady, how can he be irresponsible. The young lady told the Xiaosheng family to live there, and the Xiaosheng went to propose. β
Propose?
Sima Mingzhu almost jumped in shock.
Yes, she has already reached the end of the year, and it seems that she heard the queen mother talk about recruiting a colt for herself, and this colt seems to be selected among the top three nominated on the gold list last year.
Where is a flat-headed person qualified to propose?
She looked at Jin Zhen a little panicked, handsome and not like a mortal thing. As beautiful as she was in front of him, she felt ashamed of herself.
And this fairy-like figure made her so fascinated, Jin Xiaoguang, who had occupied her heart for many years from the last time she met to today, never appeared in her mind once.
She was suddenly afraid of losing him.
No, you must not tell who you are.
She doesn't think about how she will develop in the future.
Just leaned close to her and said, "My dad has a weird temper, and he doesn't want me to marry early." Don't go to my house yet. β
Jin Zhen looked at her sideways, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
But he said very strictly: "Miss Mingzhu, the ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws." No matter what your father's temper is, Xiaosheng has to go to meet the future father-in-law as soon as possible, so that he can marry the young lady into the door. Although Xiaosheng's family is in the county seat, his family background is not bad, and his family business is quite rich. Won't be wronged, Miss. β
He turned around and kissed her neck lightly, and muttered, "Moreover, I miss Miss on my birthday, and I can't bear the pain of lovesickness." β
After speaking, a pair of soft and slender hands stroked the jade body around him again, and Sima Mingzhu's hot blood that had not long since retreated once again penetrated his whole body.
In the backyard, Mei Jiugong bent over, and people walked around the bluestone path over and over again, walking behind Jiu'er Qinglian several times. inadvertently stuffed a small paper bag into Jiu'er's hand. (To be continued......)
