Chapter 232: A Little Gift
It is undeniable that no matter what aesthetic standards are used, Zhu Ling'er, who has a plump body and a good appearance, can be called a beauty that is enough to make most normal men shine in these years. It's just that the murderous aura inadvertently revealed between Gu Pan makes people with a heart inevitably feel a little weird. If you don't know a little bit of the details, no one can associate such a delicate beauty with a killer who kills people without blinking, even if they want to break their toes.
Although Yang Zhi is not a womanizer, he is a very young and very strong man. Not long after he first arrived in Penglai, when he was coerced by Xiong Zhan to go to sea alone to fight, Zhu Linger openly revealed his thoughts to him in a hurry. It's not that he deliberately pretends to be cool, Yang Zhizhen doesn't want to be entangled with her inexplicably, so he secretly pays attention to it and tries to keep a distance from her.
There is a saying that people are not as good as heaven, but I didn't expect Linglong to be enthusiastic about being a matchmaker for her husband, Yang Zhi didn't have any feelings for Zhu Linger, he didn't like it, let alone hate it. He didn't know anything about Zhu Linger's previous life experience, and he never asked, but he still had this vision: Zhu Linger was delicate and skillful when he wanted people to die, but he was a little ignorant about people on weekdays, and he was a straightforward master who loved to admit death. At present, there is a Linglong security media, saying that he will get rid of this aunt in the future, which is a bit self-deceptive. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, so let's put it aside for the time being and wait until the day when we can't get around
"Young Master...... Young Master" Just when Yang Zhi was turning around with these many messy thoughts in his mind, he only heard Ah Fu ask again: "You haven't told me yet, when will you take Miss Zhu to meet the master and the two master wives?" β
It is only the end of the first month, and the weather in Chang'an is still very cold in the morning and evening. The fat old man Yang Yan and the word diligence are absolutely incompatible, Shen Yu and Zhao Yan are both pregnant, it is the time of sleepiness, at this time it is only the first moment of the hour, what to worship? Aunt Zhu, aren't you boring and annoying?
Yang Zhi knew that Zhu Ling'er was not stupid, and she must have instigated her a lot when she was in Shandong, and appeared in the sight of the old man and the two ladies of the Yang family as soon as possible, in order to obtain their official recognition with dignity, so he seemed a little impatient. said angrily: "She's not sensible, aren't you kid not sensible?" When is it now? At least wait for the lord and the two ladies to get up, right? Wait until they've had breakfast, right? β
Remembering that Linglong said in the letter that she had carefully prepared gifts for the old man and the two ladies, and that the family would always meet and reunite one day in the future, she really couldn't treat Zhu Linger as an ordinary servant. Xuan then ordered: "You go and tell Miss Zhu, let her not be impatient, and I will take her to meet later." β
"Young master, Miss Zhu has already washed and dressed up...... Was this breakfast brought to her by the villain? β
"If you like to send it, don't you just have breakfast? Isn't it all the same where to eat? Where did you get so much nonsense? β
After moving to Chang'an with Yang Zhi's father and son, Ah Fu's eyesight has been practiced, and he usually runs errands to do many trivial affairs. It's not just Yang Zhi, the old man Yang Yan, Shen Yu, and Zhao Yan love to call him when they have anything to do.
Today, I knew that Yang Zhi's face was unhappy early in the morning, but he didn't take the order. Secretly glanced at his own young master, who seemed to be a little distracted, and quickly lowered his head, and asked unrelentingly, "Young master,...... Is Miss Zhu really your maid of the young lady in Shandong? She...... This time...... Will you stay in our Hou Mansion and not leave? β
"Is it your business if she leaves or not? You kid ....... Yang Zhi noticed that since Zhu Ling'er entered the door last night, Ah Fu also tossed for most of the night, and today it seems that he got up earlier than himself This kid's eyelids are slightly puffy, his eye circles are blue, but his two small eyes are shining green, and he is full of a strange look.
In these years, the poor man who sold himself as a slave is no different from a pig and a dog in the master's house, and it is not easy to live a life without being abused by the master's family. is fortunate to be allowed by the master to get married and have children, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a blessing that was accumulated after burning high incense for eight lifetimes in the previous life. Since Yang Zhi sealed the Hou Ci Mansion, there are many servants and maids in the mansion, and Yang Zhi's father and son are quite humane in this section: if there are servants and maids in the house, you and I are willing to look at each other, as long as you say hello to the young lady of the Shen family, you can become husband and wife, and give another house in the outer courtyard of the Hou Mansion. The old man who does not change the true character of the profiteer in his bones is very open, anyway, so many houses in the Hou Mansion are empty, and the slaves and maids are still the slaves and maids of my Yang family? What did Lao Tzu suffer again?
Yang Zhi's father and son brought more than ten servants and maids to Chang'an from their hometown in Xinyang, and Ah Fu has always regarded himself as a hardcore descendant. With Yang Zhi's fame, under his intentional or unintentional habitual indulgence, Ah Fu also feels that his value is becoming more and more bullish. Not only did he save nearly 10,000 taels of wealth that he couldn't have dreamed of when he was in Xinyang, but his morale also increased. Ah Fu is Yang Zhi's hair is smaller, slightly older than Yang Zhi. Seeing that the young master is married to the third lady who is about to become a father, he still hasn't said a word
Among the many maids and maids in the Yang Mansion, there are not a few interested people, and Brother Fu has not been able to see the old man. Zhu Ling'er, who came to visit late yesterday night, felt unfair and motherless at first glance, but later changed her outfit but was radiant. Don't say that Zhu Ling'er deliberately dressed up carefully today, how could she not make Brother Fu fascinated and excited? The young master has repeatedly claimed that he is a "subordinate" who went to Shandong to collect, and he is the "maid" of the young lady who has not yet met.
Yang Zhi looked at Ah Fu with a shy answer from a thief's head, and suddenly realized. Crying and laughing, he scolded: "You don't choose so many pretty maids in the house, why don't you just fall in love with her?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, I can't afford to provoke this aunt and your young master, you still die as soon as possible, if you lose your arms or legs, or even lose your life or something, don't blame me."
"Huh? β¦β¦ Is it that serious? Ah Fu was taken aback, still complacent and disbelieving, and went away extremely depressed.
Ah Fu and Zhu Ling'er have their own worries, it is still early, but Yang Zhi is bored. The study room that I was used to was temporarily given to Zhu Ling'er last night, but fortunately, Hou Fuxuan was open and spacious, and it was rare to have the leisure to go around, so it was a good time to take a walk
Slowly and leisurely turned to the end of the hour, and only then did he paced to the west wing of the inner courtyard where Liu Er and Chang San lived. Zhu Linger's late-night visit may not be able to hide from them, in fact, there is nothing to hide. Even if Qixi is like a brother, and Yang Zhi has full authority for the safety of his family, the two will definitely not leave without permission. Liu Er and Chang San knew that Zhu Linger had a secret relationship with Yang Zhifang, and they sincerely hoped that this righteous sister would have a good home, but due to the difference in the identity of the master and servant, it was inconvenient to reveal the matchmaking. Hearing Yang Zhi personally inform Zhu Linger that he had arrived at the Hou Mansion, everyone was overjoyed.
Yang Zhi said with a smile: "I know that Qixi is deeply affectionate, and it has been a few months since Shandong blinked, so I must be worried about each other. During this time, Chang'an has just undergone great changes, and now countless pairs of round eyes are staring at the emperor's every move, I am afraid that no one has the courage and the heart to find the bad luck of an idler like me. Miss Zhu came on the orders of the county lord, or she would stay in the Hou Mansion for a while, and the two brothers could get together with her and take the time to accompany her to Chang'an for a tour. - Oh, you can go to the account office at any time to spend it, you also know that Master Hou is not a poor person, don't feel sorry for me."
Yang Zhi's words were easy-going and generous, and he was also a euphemistic reminder to the two: You brothers and sisters get together and get together, but don't be careless and leave your ministry behind. Liu Er and Chang San have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, how can they not hear it?
"My brother and seventh sister thank you for your concern and compassion for the villain, and he will never abolish his father for personal reasons, Hou Ye can rest assured."
Yang Zhi knew that Linglong sent Zhu Ling'er to Chang'an, which implied that she would stand in front of the Yang family in the future. The heartless old man said that he didn't care, but it was of great significance to Linglong, Shen Yu, and Zhao Yan, and he couldn't be sloppy, at least he had to solemnly lead and accompany Aunt Zhu to meet his father and two wives.
It's time to get to the end of the day, and it's almost time to figure it out. summoned Ah Fu, who still looked depressed, and ordered him to call Zhu Ling'er to the front hall to wait, and then go to the old lady and the two ladies to talk to them one by one.
In fact, Yang Zhi was a little curious about the "little courtesy" mentioned in Linglong's letter. Zhu Linger traveled a long distance alone and on a ride, how many things could she bring? When he saw Zhu Ling'er presenting Linglong's gift to the old man, Yang Zhi almost didn't say anything: this gift is really easy to carry and very affordable, it is actually two pairs of crystal dice, plus 100,000 taels of Qin's money bank's dragon head silver ticket that can be redeemed at sight After marrying Linglong on Dangji Island, he mentioned to Linglong what kind of virtue his father was in his spare time. ββAlthough the old man lacks nothing, his nature is difficult to change, isn't it just like this?
The old man Yang Yan is not a stupid person, he knows that the people who are in contact with his son now are emperors and generals, and he can't take care of his own affairs and doesn't dare to take care of them. Yang Yan had long heard that his son had married a daughter-in-law in Shandong, and he was a county lord. He believes in having more sons and more grandchildren, and his daughter-in-law is not afraid of too little, and the more the better, which shows that the little rabbit cub has a great ability to tease women, and it is Ah Fu who came to visit the "young lady of Shandong" to send people to visit, and he did not feel overly surprised, and he didn't even take it seriously.
However, after the exquisite gift made the old man stunned for a moment, he immediately smiled and praised him uncontrollably: "Good regards, this daughter-in-law is very filial, sensible and caring."
Yang Zhi couldn't help but feel chilled after hearing a burst of numbness: Dad, don't you know whether that daughter-in-law is round or flat, this is "filial, sensible, and caring"? And also "very"? After thinking about it, Shen Yu and Zhao Yan would never buy such a special gift to shoot the baby father-in-law's ass, so it's no wonder
As the saying goes, three women in one play. Sooner or later, the family will be reunited, and now Zhu Ling'er has been added indistinctly. For some reason, Yang Zhi felt a little weak at the thought of facing Shen Yu and Zhao Yan who had big bellies. Now he sighed for a long time: Linglong, Linglong, you are really a person who is as good as his name and has a delicate mind, are you afraid that you will not be able to handle Shen Yu and Zhao Yan in the future? Home and everything is prosperous
Just when he was overjoyed and sighed, a servant came to report: "Young master, Gongzi Qin sent someone to invite you to come over the mansion to talk." β
Oh? Qin Kongyun usually goes to and from the Hou Mansion as casually as his own backyard, how can he send someone to invite him to the Qin Mansion to talk today? And there is not even a polite sentence of "if you have leisure", which shows that it cannot be refused. Could it be that something happened again? Or did Duke Qin have something to discuss with him?
Yang Zhi frowned slightly, and replied lightly: "Got it." β
