Chapter 286: The Little County Lord of Hui Zhi Lanxin

Except for Ming Di Moyu and Nan Bo, the three family members of Du Zhen in Kaifeng Mansion, almost all of the Du family members were servants brought by eastern Zhejiang. Although there are only about 20 people in total, Du Zhen traveled all over the world in the past, and Qiu's and Du Juan's mother and daughter relied on them to support a huge family, so even if there are great changes now, the hearts of the people in this family have never been scattered. Now that I heard that the Du family and the Zhang family were changing Geng posts to discuss marriage, even the people were happy in their hearts.

"Mrs. has always treated Zhang Gongzi as her own son, but now her wish has come true."

"Isn't it a good story that this student has become a son-in-law?"

"But the lord is still in the Jinyi Guard prison, there is no news, it will not be a happy day, but the lord is still in prison and can't see it, right?"

"The two sides are still just discussing things preliminarily, where is it so fast? Zhang Gongzi is a conscientious person, he will definitely not watch it, and he can always think hard of ideas. Rather than talking about this, think about the dowry. Although my wife began to ask someone to buy furniture last year, according to the usual practice of the eunuchs in Beijing today, I am afraid that it is not enough. ”

The Du family's scholarly family, originally in the countryside was just a thin land, but when he left his hometown, he had already sold it all, and placed a 200-acre grange near Nanjing and Beijing. At this time, in the main room, the two mothers who have served in front of Qiu Shi for decades are counting with their fingers, and Qiu Shi, who is sitting on the kang, just listens with a smile, interrupting the two from time to time to ask.

There was a bamboo curtain outside the door, Xiao Wu was eavesdropping there, and when she heard all those words, she couldn't help but be a little impatient, so she ran out of the yard with a smoke. Along the road to Du Juan's small courtyard, she slammed the curtain and entered the main house, only to see at a glance that Zhu Ning, the county lord of Chenliu, was sitting at the east end of the kang, staring at the chessboard with a sunspot.

"County Lord, you're here again? How come those people outside didn't even make a report, and even forgot the rules! ”

Zhu Ning was facing the chessboard everywhere at this time, biting his lip and not knowing how to start, when he heard this, he turned his head angrily: "What do you mean it's here again, I can't talk to your young lady?" Besides, I often come and go, and I want people to tell me something. Xiao Wu, your young lady is about to get married, do you want me to pick a good family for you to marry? Now I have everyone here, the sons of Xungui, the two Jinshi, the Shangshu Gongzi and the like have a lot of grabbing, why don't I choose one for you? ”

"I'm not going to get married!" Xiao Wu shook his head as if it was a rattle, and then he stepped forward and sat down next to Du Juan, and hugged her arm with a smile, "I will go wherever Miss goes, anyway, the old monk entrusted me to Miss at the beginning!" With Miss's temperament, if she really marries into the Zhang family, she may not be bullied, and I can help her with me! ”

"Help? I think you don't want to make a mess! ”

Angrily threw the chess pieces back into the chess box, Zhu Ning glanced up at Du Juan, and said with a smile: "I heard some rumors before, and the emperor ordered the commander of the Jinyi Guard to send Yuan Fang Hui ink and jade paper to Lord Du, although he never released people, but at least it is a good sign." This time, the British duchess was pregnant, and the princess and concubine in the palace sent people to reward things several times, and as a result, the news of your two marriages also spread to the palace, and the emperor should have known. Lord Du is not a big mistake, if Zhang Yue can plan well, maybe he can let the emperor release him. ”

Seeing that Du Juan was still holding the white chess piece and pondering silently, she suddenly guessed the handkerchief's thoughts, so she stretched out her hand to hold the fair-skinned soft wattle: "Don't think so much, instead of worrying about what you have and don't have, it's better to think about how to buy a dowry." Although there is no need to fight for wealth with others, it is always impossible to be underestimated, especially the large mansion with a large population like the Zhang family. ”

Du Juan was still thinking about Gu's serious words that day, because of those words, she couldn't say a word when she came to her lips at that time, and accompanied the old lady to visit the garden for a full hour, and sat in a pavilion for half an hour. She had always thought that there were many rules in the mansion, and this kind of ancestor was even more difficult to serve, but she didn't want the Gu family to be very organized in every word, even if she was as clever as she was, she was only willing to bow down - everything she could say was said by the old lady.

At that moment, she said angrily: "It's still in Hegeng Post, there is nothing to do with the eight characters, just keep saying it." ”

Jumping off the kang and straightening out the jade-colored thread-picking skirt on her body, she saw that Zhu Ning had a leaf on her head, and when she reached out to help brush it, she found that it was a small jade leaf pin, and she couldn't help but be stunned. Xiao Wu next to him also came up, and saw that the jade leaves were extremely delicate, and he was also amazed.

"What's so surprising about this kind of head, catch up with Ming'er and you get married, I'll give you a box by yourself!"

Zhu Ning has never paid attention to these things, so he casually pulled out the small pin for Xiao Wu to play with, and then said with a smile: "I heard from a few big eunuchs in the palace that now Wang Guifei is preparing a dowry for me, and I don't know how many big boxes have been prepared for these delicate things." If you want me to see, even if the dowry is ready, I may not be able to choose the guest of honor. The emperor rejected the three lists of the Zongren Mansion back and forth, and at this time, those people probably even had the mind to jump into the river. ”

Hearing this, Du Juan couldn't help but put his own affairs aside, and hurriedly asked: "You have always been favored by the emperor, the list drawn up by the Zongren Mansion has been refuted once, and then you will naturally try your best to pick the better one, how can it be rejected again and again, is the emperor not satisfied?" ”

Xiao Wu also helped beside him: "That's right, those officials don't even have this vision, right?" ”

At this time, Zhu Ning stood up lazily, the master and servant in front of the meeting were full of concern, she couldn't help but laugh, reached out and gently pinched Xiao Wu's cheek, and then warned Du Juan: "You will naturally understand these truths in the future, but I can't say it right now." All in all, it's just picking someone to marry like picking an animal, and I won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of my life, and as for the rest, I have already figured it out. Fortunately, I still have some face in the palace, and I ordered people to pay attention to the movement early in the morning, and your affairs are ......"

Before she could say a word, Chunying's voice sounded outside the door: "Miss, someone outside the door asked to see her, saying that it was the county lord's guard, and he came here to find the county lord." ”

"Which unknown person came to Du's house to find me? Am I going out to visit friends and still be controlled? When Zhu Ning heard this, her willow eyebrows suddenly rose upside down, but she just snorted in annoyance, she suddenly remembered a possibility, and hurriedly turned her head to Du Juan and said, "Sister Juan, invite someone to your flower hall first, and I'll ask what the matter is." ”

Zhu Ning, the lord of Chenliu County, has been going back and forth every day, and no one has ever come to the door to look for him, so Du Juan must be a little strange at this time. At that moment, she hurriedly ordered Chunying to go out to spread the word, and she was going to send Zhu Ning out, but who knew that the other party waved her hand again and again, and she walked out quickly with familiarity. Xiao Wu came over curiously, and said in Du Juan's ear: "Could it be the county lord's sweetheart?" ”

"Ghost girl, you will pick these shadowless things and talk about them! The county lord really has a sweetheart, and with her personality, will she wait until now? Either discuss with us, or rack your brains to think of your own ideas, why won't you be so idle. Speaking of this, Du Juan couldn't help frowning, and there was always a little uneasiness in his heart, "Isn't there really something wrong?" ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhu Ning turned around in a hurry, and rushed into the house without waiting for the little girl at the door to open the curtain. When the gold hairpin jade ornament on the head touched the bamboo curtain inlaid with copper strips, it was impressively rubbed out the sound of Ding Dingdang. She ignored all this, stepped forward in three or two steps and sat straight on the kang, and said in a deep voice: "An hour ago, the emperor summoned Zhang Yue to see him in Renshou Palace. Now the emperor's living room is still in the cool hall, and I remember that there is no one living in the Renshou Palace, which is really a little weird. ”

Du Juan had just stretched the embroidery frame, and was doing needlework with Xiao Wu under the guidance of Chunying, when he was stunned when he heard this. casually inserted the embroidery needle on the bandage, and threw the thing into the embroidery basket next to her, she hurriedly asked: "Then the emperor's previous temperament was good, was it summoned on a spur of the moment, or something else?" In addition to the senior brother, but also summoned others? ”

Seeing that Zhu Ning was only staring at herself and didn't speak, she suddenly realized, and her heart suddenly beat a few times without arguing: "Did the emperor summon him alone, about the marriage of the two families?" ”

"Most of the time, if you can cross this ditch, then Lord Du can be released, and your affairs can be taken care of." Zhu Ning picked up the leftover tea on the kang table and drank it all, then said with a smile, "I really said that Cao Cao Cao is here, I was just about to tell you that I would pay attention to Zhang Yue's matter, and I happened to meet it at this moment." Don't worry, I'll go back now, and someone will send you any news immediately. If there is really something, I will not come forward to ask for it, so I have to invite Wang Niangniang to come forward. She has a good relationship with the British duchess, and she can always turn around. ”

Du Juan was stunned for a moment, Zhu Ning had already gotten up and gone out, but when she reacted and chased out the door, there was no one. In a hurry, she had to grab Xiao Wu and give a few orders. Seeing that Xiao Wu chased out, she stood under the eaves and took a deep breath.

At this moment, Zhang Yue, who had been following the little eunuch in the West Palace for a long time, gradually became nervous. Although his grade is not high, he has been in and out of the West Palace more than once, and many palaces can also be named, but this Renshou Palace has never heard of it. Moreover, the path became more and more secluded, but the guards around it were extremely tight, and every five paces stood a strong Jinyi Guard Han General, adding a bit of evil to the narrow path.

When they arrived in front of the Renshou Palace, the guards changed from five steps and one post to three steps and one sentry, and the eye-catching scene made Zhang Yue completely stunned. He had always heard that Zhu Di was trapped in a stubborn illness of wind paralysis, but who was the bright yellow figure dancing with a sword in the central clearing at this moment? That silver light doesn't seem to even be able to splash water into it, where is the slightest bit old?

Just as he slowly walked forward a few steps under the signal of the little eunuch, he saw that the sword momentum in the open space suddenly turned, and the figure suddenly pounced. Although he could have taken advantage of the situation for a moment, he instinctively kept his feet firmly in place, and watched the bright sword light stop at a distance of no more than an inch from his nose.
