Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Son-in-law Is Also a Blood Relative?
"If I were rich, I would be generous, and if I was rich, I wouldn't care! The problem is that I don't have any money, so I can't get up. Chen Rui said angrily.
Zhou Quan was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "Eight hundred taels were spent by you?" ”
Eight hundred taels may be nothing to a gentleman like Luo Wen, but it is Zhou Quan's pocket money for several years, and it is a huge amount of money for him. How could he not be surprised that such a huge sum of money was spent by Chen Rui in just over two months and still a lot of time in the case of fighting soldiers?
Chen Rui's mouth was stuffed with food, his cheeks puffed out, he nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Anyway, it's gone." ”
He didn't explain, after all, it was still a bit difficult for a man to talk about the fact that his former wife-to-be accepted it.
In Zhou Quan's opinion, this is a drain, which makes him a little itchy, this is not eight taels, eighty taels, but eight hundred taels! It's enough to go to Ruyi Pavilion to enjoy singing and dancing, and it's enough for ordinary people to live a good life and more than eight hundred taels! It was spent like this by him!!
Zhou Quan hated this kind of indiscriminate spending of money and wanted to replace it.
He looked at Chen Rui with a sad look and said, "Why did you spend it all?" Didn't you go to Ruyi Pavilion to spend time drinking? ”
"Get out! Am I that kind of person? ”
Zhou Quan silently put down the chopsticks, although there was no obvious evidence that the dishes on the table were harmed by him, but he was not hungry, he touched his deflated stomach, he was really not hungry!
Chen Rui saw Zhou Quan's somewhat strange appearance and asked, "This meal is not to your taste?" ”
As one of the best restaurants in Xiangcheng, how could Xiangyunlou not suit his taste? He was not a picky eater, Zhou Quan did not nod with a clear conscience, but shook his head truthfully.
It was Chen Rui's turn to be a little strange, "Then why don't you eat it?" ”
"I'm not hungry."
"Gollum..."
Zhou Quan screamed as soon as he finished speaking, smiled a little embarrassedly, thinking that there really didn't seem to be any unknown objects falling into the meal just now, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and tasted the deliciousness of the food without feeling the peculiar smell, so he put his mind at ease.
"Brother Chen is a blood relative of Princess Qin?" After a glass of wine, Zhou Quan looked casual and asked the questions that many sons of big families in Xiangcheng wanted to ask, but his heart was actually extremely nervous, and his eyes fell on his face tightly, not wanting to miss the slightest change in his expression.
Because he saw the way they looked at each other last night, and there was an answer in his heart that was closer to the truth, but he didn't want to admit it, and he still had unrealistic illusions. After all, this is the Yaochi fairy that Da Chu Nan'er looks up to, the goddess in his mind, although it is unattainable, as long as the goddess has no owner for a day, she can still fantasize, no one wants to be disillusioned, and no one wants to accept disillusionment.
Although sooner or later there will be such a day, it is good to be one day late, what if God favors him and is favored by King Qin to be recruited as a son-in-law? Did you meet the county lord alive and win the county lord's heart?
Chen Rui thought for a moment when he heard this, which made Zhou Quan's heart tighten, but then he saw him nodding, Zhou Quan's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it, but his body and mind were completely relaxed, and he felt that today's sunshine was so comfortable, the wine was so mellow, the food was so delicious, and the women on the street were so beautiful......
"A son-in-law is also a blood relative, right?"
But his next words made Zhou Quan choke on the dish he had just sandwiched in his mouth,
"Ahem... Ahem..."
Zhou Quan coughed for a while before he recovered, and his heart fell from the clouds to the bottom, and he barely squeezed out a smile and said, "You are so humorous, but this joke is not funny at all..."
"Am I joking?" Chen Rui was a little unhappy, why didn't he want to believe it to be honest? Is it interesting to numb yourself like this?
Seeing his serious look, Zhou Quan said tentatively: "Are you serious?" ”
"Believe it or not." Chen Rui rolled his eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Quan seemed to hear the voice of his broken dream, a little disappointed, a little sad, and a little difficult to accept, but in general, it was still good, his heart did not hurt, and there was no unforgettable pain, after all, this was just a fantasy that he knew he could not do, and it was not so difficult to accept.
After relieving for a while, Zhou Quan was also relieved, accepted this fact that he had to accept, and then became a little worried about his friend, as the son of a big family, of course, he also heard the rumors, knowing that the news that His Majesty wanted to make the county lord the crown princess was not a rumor at all, but he really had this intention.
He looked at Chen Rui, who was eating leisurely, and said: "I can't think of Brother Chen..., congratulations, it's just that Your Majesty ......, don't misunderstand, I don't want to persuade you to give up, I just want to remind you that although Your Majesty is a Ming monarch, he is not a good man and a woman, and his mind is deep, and the princes are not easy to get along with, so it is better to be careful." ”
Chen Rui snorted coldly, "We have made a marriage contract ten years ago, they want to intervene and snatch love, I will never let them succeed, let alone the emperor and prince, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes." ”
Chen Rui was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the royal family of Chu State, because of their selfishness, they wanted to beat the mandarin ducks, break up the two of them, and let him bear so much danger and pressure, so that he was already full of anger and resentment. Slapping the second prince is to collect some interest.
You must know that this time against the Liang army, your own general was ordered to harm him, coupled with the threat of the Liang army, he would be doomed if he was not careful, but fortunately, he survived.
Liang will be in a hurry to win, why shouldn't he? It's just that he is skilled, and the Mandate of Heaven is not cool in Chu, and Emperor Chu has temporarily put away his desire to harm him because of this great victory, but this does not mean that he forgives those people for what they did, and this matter will not end so simply, he believes that Emperor Chu will not give up so easily, they want to be together, and the days ahead will be full of dangers.
The dangers of the future may be a hundred times more dangerous than that......
Thankfully, it's all worth it.
Zhou Quan saw that he looked like God had come to stop them from being together, so he stabbed the sky, thinking that he could win the heart of the county lord, and it was not for nothing that the king of Qin and the princess of Qin took a fancy to him and rejected His Majesty's proposal to marry, so he raised his wine glass and sincerely wished: "I wish you lovers will eventually become married." ”
"That's natural, when we get married, your gift red envelopes are indispensable." Chen Rui clinked glasses with him and said.
Zhou Quan's heart trembled, and he immediately showed a look of pain, and said: "Brother Chen, you have married the most beautiful person in Da Chu, how many people are envious, how can you be embarrassed to ask me for a gift red envelope?" ”
"Look at your unproductive appearance, a little money will make you feel distressed......"
"Yes, I'm unproductive, so you can pay for the wine and food today."
"Don't! Brother Zhou, Wen Taowu, the dragon and phoenix among the people, will become a big weapon in the future, how can this little money be seen in his eyes? ”
