Chapter 140: Uncontrollable Worry

Like Gu Lao Taijun and others, after hurriedly handling the affairs of Zhedong's hometown, Mrs. Du's Qiu family arrived in the capital only in the past few days. Because the family is not like the British Mansion with wings and wings, cross-courtyard and cross-courtyard, and her daughter Du Juan is a clever housekeeper, so she did not make a big deal after she arrived, but she rested for a while, even if there were guests, Du Juan was allowed to receive them. After all, although the waterway from the south of the Yangtze River is bento, it has been walking for nearly a month after all.

It was not a rainy day in the north, but yesterday it was a spring rain, and this morning the clouds and rain dispersed, and now the warm spring light shines into the house through the window lattices and window paper, but it is also bright. Qiu Shi was taking the girl to clean up the old clothes that couldn't be worn, and put a stack of colorful ones on the kang. Because these are the clothes of her youth, they are all green and silver red of the red crow, she can't wear them now, but it is also difficult for the girl, if she presses the bottom of the box again, it is a waste, and she can't help but feel a little worried at the moment.

"Ma'am!"

As soon as Xiao Wu lifted the curtain and came in, he found that there were clothes on the kang, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, and when he stepped forward and took a look, he smiled and said, "There are so many clothes, is the wife going to give them to Miss?" The young lady also said how to save money, if she saw this, she would definitely say that her clothes would not need to be cut this year. ”

Because Xiao Wu is not a person from the family, and he knows that Dao Yan is not an ordinary person, Qiu does not treat Xiao Wu as a girl on weekdays, and when he heard this, he suddenly woke up. She pulled Xiao Wu over with a smile, picked up a piece of clothing and compared it on it, but she felt that it was just right.

"Wan'er's size is different from when I was younger, she is taller than me, but she can't wear these clothes, but you are just right. It's all old clothes, Xiao Wu, if you feel good, you can pick a few at will, if not. Just take it back and let the girls share it, anyway, I can't wear these now. ”

Xiao Wu was fiddled with by Qiu's family, only to feel strange, and was taken aback when he heard this. Looking down at the brightly colored clothes on the kang, and then thinking about Du Juan's needlework, she didn't take Qiu's words to heart, and tried her best to calculate what tricks she could change, and nodded busily. Just as she instructed a few girls to pick up the furoshiki and wrap them up one by one. Suddenly, the voice of a steward's daughter-in-law was heard outside.

"Madam, Lord Chen Liujun is here, and now he has gone straight to the west to find Miss to talk. Zhang Gongzi also happened to come, and he was waiting in the small flower hall at this time. ”

Although he is the county lord, he has come too much, and the Qiu family has not taken it too seriously, and he also knows that people may not be willing to mix it up by themselves. However, she knew that Zhang Yue was taking the entrance examination before, and she had said it several times. I was happy to hear that he was coming, and ordered a few little girls to continue to clean up, so I took the two big girls forward. Xiao Wu didn't care about those silver-red and red Hangzhou silk clothes at this time, and as soon as Qiu left, she also flashed, but she didn't go forward. Instead, he went straight to the west wing to find Du Juan.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhu Ning and Du Xuan, the county lord of Chen Liu, who were there with black and white chess pieces ready to fight, and her head suddenly grew big. She has been serving the old monk of Daoyan for a day or two, and she has known that the old monk loves this. But the question is, King Zhou loves this, why do the two Lord Chen Liujun and Du Juan always like to have a black-white war?

"Miss, do you still play chess? The wives have gone to see him! ”

Zhu Ning fell first at this time, and when he heard this, he immediately turned his head sideways, and winked at Xiao Wu with a smile: "Yo, I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiao Wu, you are actually selling Guanzi when you speak." What he? Which he? It's the one of your young lady. Or is it your one? ”

Du Juan was thinking about the layout, and didn't want to hear Zhu Ning's words, so he suddenly scolded angrily: "County Lord, it's just that you joke about Xiao Wu, what are you doing with me?" Don't annoy me, if I get angry, I will kill you on the chessboard and leave no piece of armor, and then I will have to do bad things about your relatives! My mother is too, but I didn't see my father's indispensable appearance. You have to be busy matchmaking. But I don't want people to have that meaning! ”

Zhu Ning laid out another chess piece at this time, and asked narrowly: "Could it be that you are still annoyed that he snatched your father now?" ”

Du Juan glared at Xiao Wu angrily. Seeing someone innocently shaking his head, she realized that it was Lord Chen Liu, who just said it casually, and suddenly blushed, wanting to perfunctory the past, but unexpectedly Zhu Ning was staring at her on the ground, she simply said bluntly: "When he was taught by his father, my mother and I were waiting hard in our hometown, and we had to endure those relatives who came to the door to fight the autumn wind in three days, and it was natural for me to be annoyed with him!" From the time I remember to the present, when I see my father, it is from the end of the year before last to the present, but my father taught him four years in Kaifeng! ”

"Since you annoyed him, then you begged Young Master Yao to see them last time, and you wasted a favor in vain?"

"Young Master Yao's most measured person has long since faded out of the state affairs, and I have nothing to ask him for in the future, this favor is dispensable, besides, now the one who owes favors has become him." Du Juan rolled his eyes angrily, and joked back to Zhu Ning, because he sighed again, "Although Daddy never mentioned the previous ten years after he came back, I can see that he has always made up for his debt to his mother." But who would have thought that he would go to Shandong again? ”

Zhu Ning's face changed slightly, and while Du Juan looked away, she immediately concealed this trace of emotion well, but said with a smile: "Don't keep talking about your father, if your mother really wants to give you to him, are you really unwilling?" ”

Zhu Ning saw Du Juan frowning, so he simply dropped the chess piece and said: "Sister Wan'er, I'm not talking about you, you are usually extremely smart, and you can't think about this kind of thing." The words of the parents and the matchmaker are natural. Zhang Yue, I think it's good, but my father didn't pay much attention to him, if he was careful, maybe he would be busy marrying off my daughter. Don't look at the emperor's uncle, who still spoils me, my father holds me in the palm of his hand, and when the time comes, I will choose a so-called talent as a guest of honor, and my life will be decided. ”

Seeing Zhu Ning's expression, Du Juan regretted that he had aroused the hearts of others, and finally sighed: "You say so from the county lord, let alone other daughters' families that day." Even Cui Yingying in the West Chamber is just a private lifelong back garden, and she will go back to marry after Zhang Shengjin's title. What's the point? Even if it is a virtuous helper, it must be supported by a good person in the future. Seeing that my mother was struggling at the beginning, I was a little scared. ”

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded when he heard it, and he was a little confused for a while. After all, she has spent a long time wandering, and she used to be very envious of those young ladies with fine clothes and fine food, and when the time comes, she can still marry a wishful husband, how do you know that there are still so many troubles?

In the small flower hall, Zhang Yue met Qiu's family. I talked with him for a while. Because Du Zhen set off for Shandong and Qiu's arrival in Beijing were both events that happened after he entered the Tribute Academy, it was only now that he knew that Du Zhen and Qiu had no time to meet. Thinking of Du Zhen's order that time, he couldn't help but glance at his wife, and saw the frost white that her temples couldn't hide, but there was still a kind look between her eyebrows, and he really admired this good wife and mother in his heart.

"The master went to Shandong, and even if you won the Jinshi, he wouldn't be able to see it. In my opinion, this is the biggest regret. As he spoke, Qiu gradually stopped holding on to those words of concern, and the worries that had been hidden in his heart for several days were unconsciously revealed, "Speaking of which, I heard that the place in Shandong is not peaceful now, and there are still bandits...... Alas, my eyelids are jumping all the time these days. There is always some uneasiness. Yuanjie, you have seen more, what is the place in Shandong? ”

What about Shandong? It would be good if it was in the prosperous years, but the biggest disadvantage in these years was that the King of Han was there. Since the Qiu family has already said that there are bandits, the bandits naturally exist genuinely. This political envoy is not in charge of the military and politics, and has no military power, if something really happens, it is really difficult to do!

Although there was such a thought in his heart, how could Zhang Yue dare to point it out to Qiu's family, and said with a busy smile: "Master don't worry, some words outside are just false rumors, and they may not be credible." Mr. has always been steady, and he must be the same as an official in Shandong. It shouldn't cause any trouble. As for this eyelid jumping, I think my wife has been tired these days, so it would be good to rest more. ”

Qiu's was worried in her heart, as soon as Zhang Yue said this, she thought about her husband for more than ten years, and now Gao Sheng was just the right time for the future, and gradually let go. Leaving Zhang Yue to sit for a while, she suddenly thought that her husband would go back to Shandong for three years. This daughter also has an eccentric temper. She tried several times to no avail, and if she delayed any longer, she didn't know how long she would have to wait.

"Metaverse. I heard that your whole family moved from Kaifeng to Beijing? Seeing Zhang Yue nodded, she immediately had an idea in her heart, and immediately smiled, "In this case, I should also visit your grandmother and your mother in two days." When the old man was in Kaifeng, with his strange temper, if it weren't for your Zhang family, I'm afraid that he wouldn't know how much suffering he would have to suffer, I should have gone to thank him a long time ago, and now I have the opportunity. ”

Zhang Yue just nodded when he saw Qiu Shi relieved, and his heart suddenly chuckled, where did he not know what his master meant. But if you know, can he still stop people from coming to his home? Gu didn't mention it for the time being, it was just a mother Sun, and he had already been nagged this morning. When he went out after breakfast, he also saw his mother calling Amber and Autumn Marks, most of which were also ordered by his ears and interrogated about his whereabouts for more than a year, and there were some other calculations.

When he came out of the Du Mansion, Zhang Yue saw that there were not only a few horses in front of the door, but also Zhu Ning, the lord of Chenliu County, who was getting into the carriage, and more than a dozen entourage guards. At this moment, he couldn't help muttering a little in his heart, thinking that there was such a coincidence in the world, he came with this county lord when he came, and he actually went with him when he left.

"Zhang Yue, you wait, I have something to say to you!"

Hearing this, seeing that Zhu Ning, who was getting into the carriage, suddenly turned around, and actually jumped off the supporting pestle and walked towards him, Zhang Yue had to take a few steps forward. At this time, I saw a group of guards of the Zhou Palace's Hula scattered, and the two maids also retreated far away, as if they were afraid that Zhu Ning's words would be heard by the second person.

Zhu Ning didn't speak immediately, but hesitated for a while, then took a deep breath, and then said in a low voice: "There are some things that I can't say to Mrs. Du just now, and it's not good to say to Sister Wan'er. Shandong is now very chaotic, the pioneer political envoy was originally a flat adjustment of Huguang, but because of a mistake, now is squatting in Dali Temple. Although Lord Du is honest and capable, there are many things that are beyond the reach of man, if possible, please ask the British Duke to say hello to certain places, such as commanding the envoys. ”
