Chapter Thirty-Eight: You Dream
Apology? Are you sure you didn't say the opposite? Zhong Ze scratched his chin, gave the butler a look, turned around, and walked away slowly.
The old housekeeper immediately understood and came to Zheqing's side, "Young Master Xu, I'm going to have lunch soon, let's eat and then leave?" ”
Zheqing didn't know why, and watched the old housekeeper's chin slide up and down unconsciously.
Seeing that he "nodded in agreement", the housekeeper's shrewd little eyes rolled, and said, "Then trouble you, when you apologize to the young lady, take the young lady to the dining room?" ”
Zhong Yan was pounding violently in the courtyard at a human-shaped sandbag, on which was pasted a piece of paper, on which a crooked human face was drawn, and four words were written next to the face: mixed egg white.
Zheqing stood at the gate of the courtyard, with her hands under her sleeve robe, tilting her head, looking at her with great interest.
"Heh, bastard," Zhong Yan saw him, bent down to pick up the bow and arrow on the ground, pulled it away, and aimed it at him, "It's just the right time." ”
Zheqing didn't move, and said with a smile, "Miss Zhong has a handle in my hand." ”
"Nonsense."
"That kiss ......"
"You dare!"
Zheqing bowed, "My son has lived for twenty years, and I really haven't encountered anything that I don't dare." He leaned over and smirked, "Why don't you try?" ”
Zhong Yan stepped back, and the arm that drew the bow softened, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”
The corners of Zheqing's lips hooked up a wicked smile, "What I want to do is not suitable for today, but there is indeed a small matter that needs Miss Zhong's cooperation right now." ”
Zhong Yan looked at him vigilantly, and after making sure that his "little thing" was just to let him go to the dining room to eat, he threw the arrow and left in a huff.
Zheqing smiled crisply and raised his heels.
When Zhong Ze saw the girl who followed Zheqing into the dining room, his jaw was shocked and dislocated. He hurriedly stepped forward, brought his daughter to the dinner table, and turned around and ordered, "That little bastard will not wait, open the meal, open the meal." ”
The maids put all kinds of dishes on the table, and the smile on Zheqing's lips gradually froze.
He saw the calligraphy and painting on the sandbag, Bai Yu, the person this woman liked was called Bai Yu.
The mood is suddenly not good.
The old housekeeper dragged the rickety Zhong Xi in, put the son next to Master Zhong and sat down, and beckoned the cook to move the dishes and chopsticks to Zhong Xi.
Zhong Xi drank more wine yesterday, and at this moment, his brain is still in chaos. He shook his head, and when he saw Xu Zheqing opposite, he raised his eyebrows, "You, why are you at my house?" ”
Zhong Ze knocked on his head with chopsticks, "Those who come are guests, pay attention to your words." ”
Zheqing took out the mahogany box from his sleeve pocket and put it in front of Zhong Yan, who was immersed in cooking. Zhong Yan was disgusted and raised her hand to push it back.
"You kid," Zhong Ze was angry, "everything you send is affection, how can you be so bad." ”
Zhong Xi looked at Xu Zheqing, then at Zhong Yan, instantly grasped the situation, and laughed, "Have you taken a fancy to her?" ”
The word "she" was picked by Zhong Xi to be shocking.
"I said, are you blind, or do we have no girls in Heren? Yes? Zhong Yan, she is a ......"
Zhong Yan picked up the gift box and threw it at Zhong Xi, Zhong Xi reflexively caught it, still laughing, "A donkey, a grumpy donkey!" You are careful to provoke her, and the four hooves are cocked and kick you! Hahahaha! ”
Zhong Yan clenched her teeth and stared at Zhong Xi with fiery eyes. Suddenly, she rose to her feet.
Zhong Xi suddenly stopped, and immediately pretended to look at Zheqing's gift, "What is this?" He looked at Zheqing, "Can I take a look?" ”
Zheqing nodded.
Inside the mahogany box is a fish-white crown band.
Zhong Xi looked at Zheqing in surprise, "Are you sure it was given to Zhong Yan, not me?" Without waiting for Zheqing to answer, he stroked his palms and laughed again, "However, you have a good eye, she is indeed androgynous." ”
Zhong Yan couldn't bear it anymore, and her foot under the table lifted and smashed it accurately on Zhong Xi's feet. The latter snorted, and stared at Zhong Yan with swollen eyes, "Dad, she stepped on me!" ”
Zhong Ze sighed, "It's not bad to step on it, what's the fuss?" However, he didn't understand it either, so he asked Zheqing, "Xu Gongzi, is this really for the little girl?" ”
Zheqing Zhengse said, "Yes, this crown belt is the last birthday gift that my mother gave me before she died, and I want to give it to the most important person." ”
One word shocked the people present.
Zhong Xi silently put the crown belt back into the gift box and carefully placed it in front of Zheqing, "You should keep such a valuable thing for yourself." ”
Zheqing smiled brightly, holding the gift box in both hands, looked at Zhong Yan and said, "Please don't dislike it, Miss." ”
His eyes were clear, without a trace of impurities, innocent and full of anticipation. Zhong Yan couldn't say no, but she couldn't accept it either. After hesitating, Zheqing took her hand and put the wooden box in the palm of her hand......
After the meal, Zheqing kept following Zhong Yan and became her follower. Zhong Xi also served as her sister's follower, but she was beaten very badly every time.
Zhong Xi lay leisurely on the rocking chair, looking at the two of them as if they were acting in a silent movie.
Zhong Yan walked very fast, in the garden, aimlessly, just walked very fast. Zheqing was already tall and long-legged, and he followed her slowly and logically.
Suddenly, he grabbed the woman's wrist and ran towards the flower pavilion. Zhong Yan couldn't break free and was dragged away by him.
She rubbed her slightly aching wrist and glared at him, "You, you're as thin as a dog's tail and grass, why are you so aggressive?" ”
Zheqing glanced behind her, and the housekeeper was chasing after her with a long robe.
He stepped in front of Zhong Yan in one step, his eyes facing each other, close at hand. His hand was over the collar and he tugged hard, revealing his lean but toned pecs, "Why don't you check it?" ”
Zhong Yan blushed and snorted him, "Shameless." ”
At this time, Zhong Ze's eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked like he was constipated. He walked back and forth in front of Zhong Xi.
"Dad, what do you say, I am dizzy when I shake back and forth like this."
Zhong Zeyi sat on the low stool next to him, his mouth sneering in the direction of Zheqing, "Do you know him?" ”
Zhong Xi stretched out his leg and grabbed the rocking chair, "Dare to love for so long, you don't even know who he is?" Dare him take Zhong Yan to a place where the lights are blind? ”
"Old Zhong is following," Zhong said quickly.
Zhong Xi took a closer look, only to find the old man in a gray cloth shirt who was as straight as a green pine.
"Xu Zheqing, the fanatic who said that he would replace his son's 'first merry and young name'."
It's over, regular visitors to Fengyue Field! Zhong Ze was deflated all of a sudden.
Zhong Xi looked at his father and pondered his intentions, "Are you looking for a brother-in-law for me?" ”
"That's the plan."
"It's not appropriate," Zhong Xi collapsed on the rocking chair again.
"Why?"
"Xu Zheqing is not as old as me, I suffer."
"Bastard," Zhong picked him up, "is this the attitude of talking to your father?" ”
However, Zhong Xi thought that if Bai Yu really had no fate with Zhong Yan, then this Xu Zheqing was also a personal choice. Since my father also asked so, it seems that he also regarded the Jin family's "yin relatives" as an expedient measure. In this way, the matter will be well resolved.
Thinking of this, he lay down on the rocking chair again, shaking comfortably.
At this time, the porter hurriedly came and handed a prayer note to Zhong Ze.
Zhong Xi saw the words "Trade Show Day" on the cover at a glance, he snatched it and tore it to shreds a few times, "Don't care, don't look, don't go." ”
"You can't look at anything, you're not allowed to go, I found that you are talking to your father and me more and more unruly, do you want to go to the family temple to copy the house rules a hundred times?"
Zhong Ze had already seen the notice posted by Xu Changwen with the permission of the Governor to launch the "trade fair", although Zhong Xi tore up the post, but he could still enter the trade fair with his identity.
"Dad, Han San is also dead in vain, at this juncture, the trade fair was suddenly advanced, and," Zhong Xi said eagerly, "That Xu Changwen and Wei Jing have a bad relationship, this trade fair is likely to be Wei Jing's bureau borrowing Xu Changwen's cloth." ”
Zhong Ze frowned and listened to his analysis, his mouth open, "I have to go." ”
"Dare to say that I have been talking for so long, and you haven't listened to me?" Zhong Xi was angry, "No, why do you have to go?" ”
Zhong sighed, "Because, the bottom of the firearm." ”
He saw clearly on the notice that Xu Changwen would show off the firearm he had developed himself. If it is always difficult for Jinshan people to break through here, then Xu Changwen may be an opportunity. This opportunity, even if he is in the tiger's den, he has to break through.
Seeing that Zhong insisted on going, Zhong Xiwu asked himself, "Dad, you don't believe me?" ”
Zhong Ze said, "You are either a restaurant or a flower building on weekdays, how can you let me believe you?" ”
Zhong Xi was speechless.
Zhong Ze looked at him and said seriously, "Ah Xi, if you want others to believe you, you must make a posture that can make others believe in you. Daddy can trust you, but what about others? What about later? How are you going to hold up this home? Can you hold it up? ”
"Daddy!"
Zhong Xi suddenly got a little angry, he stopped talking to his father, turned around and left. Zhong Ze didn't stop him, he called the housekeeper and asked, "How many bills has Gongzi paid in the account room these days?" ”
The housekeeper said, "Master, in fact, the son has not taken money from the account for a long time. ”
What the? Zhong Ze was in disbelief, and suddenly ran to the study in pain, "Stinky boy, you won't resell Lao Tzu's belongings." ”
When Zhong Ze hurriedly ran to the warehouse, the porter came to report that the master of the Jin family was here. His heart tightened, and he ordered the housekeeper to take Zhong Yan back to the room and send Zheqing away through the back door.
Since that day, after the Jinshan people were kidnapped by Murong Xuanluo, they fell seriously ill. In order not to let outsiders see his weakness, he closed his doors, and focused on only one thing every day, which was to find out the whereabouts of the Assassin that day. But many days have passed without any leads.
The Jinshan people always suspected that the assassin and the Zhong brothers were inseparable, and he couldn't wait, so he rushed to the Zhong Mansion. But seeing that the wedding date is approaching, and there is no arrangement here, the breath in my heart is even worse.
Zhong Ze rushed to the living room and smiled carefully, "Why did you come in person, what are your orders, you say it, I will go to your house immediately." ”
Jin Shanren's gloomy face became even darker, "If I don't come, how can I see the dignified king's own brother being so untrustworthy?" ”
"What do you say?"
"Although it's a 'yin parent', you should be ready now, are you pretending to be stupid?"
The hoarseness caused by the Jinshan people taking pills all year round is extremely harsh when he is angry.
Zhong Ze bowed his waist and kept smiling with his face, and when he saw him drinking tea and resting his breath, he asked carefully, "I don't know what happened to Jin Lao today?" ”
"When? What else can my old man do but worry about his child's marriage? Jin Shanren slammed the teacup on the table, "Since you are so careless, then I have to arrange it." ”
"No, no, no," Zhong Ze hurriedly said, "How can this bother you, do you think this will work, ten days later it will be the trade show guild, and when this matter is finished, I will arrange it immediately, what do you think?" ”
Jinshanren glanced at him, and his withered yellow eyes flashed fiercely, "Then I will give you another ten days." If I can't see your sincerity after ten days, then for the sake of the child's ability to live there in peace, don't blame the old man for being unbearable. ”
Zhong Ze sent the Jinshan man to the door and personally helped him into the carriage, until long after the carriage left, he was still hunched over.
"Master, the man has gone away," the butler picked him up.
Zhong Ze's legs were weak, he sighed, and walked back to Zhong's house step by step.
When the housekeeper left, Zhong Ze grabbed him and asked, "I haven't found out yet, who killed Jin Rule?" ”
The housekeeper shook his head, "A while ago, a notice of the murderer was posted on the street, and it is said that the ......portrait was painted by Jin Lao himself."
"A portrait of yourself? What do you mean? Has he seen the murderer? ”
I don't know, but it wasn't long after the portrait was posted that it was removed. I don't know who did it, but the Jin family posted it again, and it was still cleared. It's a really strange thing. ”
