Chapter 11: Refusal of Marriage

In the back garden, Du Huanting shook her body, walked with cat steps, and swayed her body from side to side.

Seeing Chunxiang walking towards her with a bamboo leaf, she complained: "The movement is so slow, my throat is thirsty and smoking." ”

Du Huanting sat down and couldn't wait to say, "Hurry up, open it." ”

Haruka opened the lid and asked worriedly, "Miss.." You'll get drunk later, how can you meet the general? ”

"Oh, that's a mistake! What I pursue is the effect of being drunk, and I can't perform without getting drunk. Du Huanting explained seriously.

"This ancient Li Bai was drunk and wrote poems, and today Miss Ben is drunk and dances." Du Huanting tasted the fragrance first, then took a sip, was slightly stunned, and then gave a thumbs up to Chunxiang, and said intoxicatedly: "It's beautiful, it's the best in the world." ”

After speaking, he poured it into his throat against the spout.

Chunxiang sniffed the wine, a little greedy, couldn't help swallowing her saliva, pouted and said, "Miss, drink slowly, be careful of choking." ”

Du Huanting drank a pot, shook the empty bottle, and said regretfully, "If I can drink this kind of good wine every day, it will be worth choking to death." ”

"Bah, what is not dead. Miss loves to drink bamboo leaves, so Chunxiang goes to get it every day. But Miss, don't curse yourself anymore. ”

Seeing Chunxiang's serious appearance, Du Huanting hugged her in her arms and said movingly: "Xiang'er, you are the kindest and warmest girl I have ever met, and my own mother is not as good as you are to me." ”

"Miss... What do you say, Madame loves Miss the most? ”

Du Huanting tightened the Chunxiang in her arms, and said intoxicatedly: "It's good to be a young lady, the stars hold the moon, and the clothes come to reach out for food to open their mouths." has money and status, and the whole child is rich and beautiful! ”

"Miss.... Why are you starting again. Chunxiang pushed her away, found that Du Huanting's cheeks were red, and exclaimed: "Miss, you are drunk!" ”

Du Huanting raised her head and said, "I'm not drunk, I'm sad!" Then he drilled into Chunxiang's arms, and said with a crying voice: "Xiang'er, I'm really afraid that this is a dream, and when I wake up from the dream, everything is a floating cloud, and I have changed back into that Cinderella." ”

"Miss, I'll go get you the decanting soup." Haruka was confused.

"Haruka! Don't leave me," Du Huanting grabbed Chunxiang's arm, "I'm more reluctant to leave you than to turn back to my unlearned and unskilled self, Xiang'er....."

Hearing Du Huanting say this, she also became sad and comforted: "Miss, Chunxiang will not leave you, Chunxiang has no father and mother, and she has left the Prime Minister's Mansion, where do you let Chunxiang go?" ”

Speaking of her sadness, Haruka's eyes flashed with tears. The two hugged their heads and cried for a while.

"Xiang'er, don't cry, bring a few more pots of wine, let's forget all our troubles today and rest when we get drunk."

Chunxiang wiped her tears, went down and took a few pots of bamboo leaves, and the two of them sat together, drinking and complaining to each other, completely forgetting about seeing the general.

The two of them were drinking and were in the mood, Du Huanting suddenly jumped up, stumbled around with a wine bottle, and read in her mouth: "Take a sip and jump into the sky." Drink a pot, race immortals. Drink two pots, drunk and dance...."

Chunxiang held her chin with her hands, blushed, and watched Du Huanting dance drunkenly.

(Haruka's imagination)

A charming dance, Du Huanting shook her graceful figure, fluttering clothes, charming expression, looked back and smiled, and poured all beings.

(Du Huanting in reality)

staggered a few steps in place, blushed and said to Chunxiang, "Xiang'er, come on, dance with me!" ”

Without waiting for Chunxiang to react, Du Huanting took Chunxiang's hand, hugged her waist, and the jade hand caressed her hot face, rubbed it up and down, and breathed into her ear, Chunxiang was numb, and the whole person softened.

Chunxiang hooked Du Huanting's neck, her footsteps moved and swayed with her rhythm, and after a few rounds, Du Huanting threw out Chunxiang in her arms hard, Chunxiang turned in circles in place, and returned to Du Huanting's arms by inertia.

"Miss...."Chunxiang's eyes were full of dizziness, and her stomach was turned upside down. However, Du Huanting danced away with interest and continued to sway the waltz dance steps.

"Haruka, switch places with me."

Du Huanting pressed Chunxiang's hand on her waist, and in the overlapping dance steps, she spun quickly in her outstretched arms, but unexpectedly, Chunxiang's arm was sour and let go of her hand.

"Ah---h

"Miss!!"

Du Huanting fell down the stairs.

"Grandpa Tang save me!!" Du Huanting screamed in despair in her heart, she closed her eyes and waited for the pain to come from her body.

For a long time, the expected pain did not come.

I heard a familiar voice: "Girl, are you alright?" ”

Du Huanting opened her eyes, and what caught her eye was a majestic and unflattened face.

Seeing that it was him, Du Huanting immediately bounced up, like a cat seeing a mouse, quickly slipped behind Chunxiang, and said weakly: "Boldly Diao Min, have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall?" They actually broke into my house and didn't look at what place it was? ”

Zheng Yuan narrowed his eyes, raised his sword eyebrows, stared at Du Huanting for a long time, and asked, "Girl, we should have seen it, right?" ”

"My dignified daughter of Du Xiangguo, how could I have seen a man like you."

Chunxiang was stunned, and reminded Du Huanting in a low voice: "Miss, this is the general...."

Du Huanting was shocked, and thought with an embarrassed expression: Such a coincidence? I actually bumped into it here, and if he recognized me as the thief that day, wouldn't it be a loss of face?

"Ten years ago, at the birthday banquet of the Son of Heaven, General Zheng met my young lady," Chunxiang hurriedly came out to relieve the embarrassment, "so I feel familiar." ”

Zheng Yuan looked at Du Huanting suspiciously, smelling the smell of wine around him, and his heart was even more confused.

"The master is in the hall, Chunxiang will take the general over first, and then come to compensate the general after the young lady is freshened up..."

"No need," Zheng Yuan interrupted Chunxiang's words: "I came to visit the mansion today, and I also want to explain a few words to the young lady." ”

Du Huanting was snickering in her heart: Fortunately, she was dressed as a civilian woman that day, and this idiot didn't seem to recognize me.

"If the general has something to say, he might as well say it directly."

Du Huanting stared at him with two big watery eyes, waiting for him to say the following.

"Miss Du is beautiful and knowledgeable, and she is the golden branch and jade leaf of Xiangguo, so she should find a suitable match with it."

He paused and continued: "Zheng Yuan is a family of generals, and he has been used to it since he was a child, and he does not want to be subject to the rules and etiquette, and I already have a beloved, so please Miss and Prime Minister don't love Zheng Yuan anymore."

After a long time, Du Huanting asked him in a daze: "You... Be... Are you refusing to marry me? ”

"If Zheng Yuan offends Miss, I can only accompany Miss Zhengyuan, Miss Zheng Yuan and Miss are definitely not a good match, please Miss consider carefully."

"Okay--- Du Huanting suddenly applauded, "What you said is so good." ”

Chunxiang pulled Du Huanting's clothes, she thought Du Huanting was talking drunk, and said anxiously: "Miss..."

"This is exactly what I think, marriage and love are free, you can rest assured, I will never stop your pursuit. As long as the two of us work together, Daddy can't do anything to us. ”

Zheng Yuan was stunned when he heard this abnormal words, and he looked at her from top to bottom in some surprise.

"I mean the twisted melon is not sweet, this marriage is like a seedling, you can't pull out the seedlings to help grow, right?" Du Huanting changed her words and explained.

"Since Miss Du understands the righteousness so well, then please convey my meaning to the prime minister, and Zheng Yuan will retire first."

Looking at the back of him leaving, Du Huanting breathed a sigh of relief, she thought: Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, fortunately Zheng Yuan is not interested in her, and she is saved from acting as a show.

When Zheng Yuan walked away, Chunxiang spat on the ground fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "The general is too much, he doesn't take the young lady and the prime minister in his eyes at all, what kind of person you like, excuse!" Excuse! It's clear that it's embarrassing for Miss! ”

Du Huanting was drunk for most of the time, yawning and thinking: But this Zheng Yuan is also an iron-clad man, and he dares to go against Du Xiangguo so bluntly.

"Haruka... I was tired, so I went back to my room to rest. ”

"Miss, aren't you angry at all?" Haruka asked.

"What am I angry about? Rejected by an unfamiliar man? ”

Chunxiang stomped her foot: "Miss, aren't you curious about who General Zheng's favorite person is?" ”

"What does it have to do with me...."

Chunxiang was still chattering behind, Du Huanting covered her ears and said impatiently, "Chunxiang, don't buzz like a bee....."
