Chapter 52: It Was Him
Mama Pei lay on the ground to relieve the pain, and Zhou Hongpi stood in place waiting for her without smiling.
Afraid that Zhou Hong would run away with the silver ticket, and as soon as the pain was relieved to the extent that it was bearable, Mama Pei began to crawl in the direction of Zhou Hong. She also tried to stand up and walk, but as soon as her legs moved, she gasped in pain and gave up decisively.
"It's all mountains of gold and silver, and Mama still cares about the five thousand taels of silver. It's really frugal. β
Every time she took a step forward, Zhou Hong wanted to take a step back. But Miss said: Wanzhaoyuan can't tolerate the tricks of grinding and being a slut. Going straight on the road is the right way.
It is certainly relieving to rectify Mama Pei, but it is too cost-effective to turn yourself into a wicked person.
"Don't climb, crawl here, the extra five thousand taels won't be paid back to you." Zhou Hong straightened his face, and looked at the embarrassed Pei Mama with cold eyes: "The evil that the Pei family did to the Zhou family can't be worth 50,000 taels." β
Mama Pei sneered contemptuously, very disdainful: "The whole family surnamed Zhou is not worth five thousand if it is sold." β
Zhou Hong took several deep breaths before finally resisting the urge to smash her head with a box: "Yes, our lives are cheap." Is Pei Jun cheap? Five thousand taels, one day he will be vulgar, I don't go to make trouble, is it worth it? β
Pei Junlin took refuge in Buddhism and threatened to eliminate the anger of heaven and people's grievances before he dared to return to the vulgar. is that the Pei family is thick-skinned, and after waiting for a year or two, they dare to claim that God is forgiving, but if Zhou Hong goes to make trouble, he still can't get off the stage.
It is forced to return to the vulgar, which is really hindering his development.
At the beginning, the Pei family dared to say this, because they expected the Zhou family to be bullied.
But after Zhou Hong followed Roman, she became more and more popular day by day, and her reputation in Wanzhaoyuan and even the surrounding areas became higher and higher. If Roman is willing to stand up for her, the Zhao family will stand behind her again......
Mama Pei was angry: "Trouble, none of the children of your Zhou family are married?" β
"It's a big deal to sell yourself in the evening garden, and let the young lady point out the marriage." Zhou Hong looked serious, not like a joke: "They are all slaves and maids, but the slaves and maids in Wanzhaoyuan are better than ordinary people's sons and misses." Sell yourself in, we're willing. β
"Cheap!" Mama Pei gritted her teeth.
"You are noble, noble to the point of wolf's heart, and the more the master respects you, the more he steals from the master."
Seeing that Mama Pei was about to reply, Zhou Hong impatiently counted out five thousand taels of silver tickets: "You don't have to bother to crawl, it's still my sin to die on the ground."
Nodding, I'll leave with the silver ticket, Pei Junlin is still vulgar tomorrow, and I don't care. Shaking my head, I put down the silver, when will he be vulgar, when will I make trouble.
I will be a slave for the rest of my life, and he will accompany me as a monk for the rest of my life. β
"You slut......"
In the past five years, Mama Pei can make people tremble with a single look; Therefore, he has always been a bodhisattva with compassion. Today, he was repeatedly suppressed by Roman, and suddenly fell from the sky to mortal dust, only to return to his true nature and be hysterical.
But Zhou Hong was impatient to listen to her scolding, put down the silver and wanted to leave. Mama Pei was anxious again, and called out to her, "Take the silver and get out." β
"Ask for someone, you have to look like you are asking for someone." Zhou Hong stood still and looked at the dilapidated Pei Mama impatiently: "Now it's you begging me, it's not that I have to ask you for silver." Therefore, you will either kowtow your head and beg me for forgiveness, or you will add another five thousand taels of silver.
Knowing that you don't have a silver ticket in hand, I can wait for you for three days. Anyway, Pei Junlin can't be vulgar tomorrow. β
Mama Pei was so angry that she vomited blood, but she also knew that she couldn't scold anymore.
She lay on the spot panting, and after a long time, she struggled to make a decision - kowtow.
In order to prevent Zhou Hong from being picky, she knelt down with difficulty and kowtowed to Zhou Hong through gritted teeth.
Zhou Hong turned sideways to avoid it, and the direction where Mama Pei was kneeling was facing the old house of the Zhou family.
"These three rings, the Zhou family can afford it." After Mama Pei knocked her head three times, Zhou Hong was shocked physically and mentally. She had waited for this day, too long.
didn't want to lose her temper in front of Pei Pozi, Zhou Hong rushed out with the box. One didn't pay attention, hit the tea tray, the tea tray fell off the table, and smashed several medicine bottles to the ground, both of them shattered.
Zhou Hong didn't pay attention, and turned out with a steady step.
Mama Pei didn't even have the strength to flatten down and lie down again. She looked desperately at the ointment on the ground, and was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood again.
Zhou Hong rushed back to Qingqiu Courtyard in a hurry, Roman had already packed himself and waited for her to leave.
Seeing her eyes red, she was a little surprised: "What's wrong?" β
"It's fine." Zhou Hong put the box in front of Roman and said angrily: "Forty thousand taels of silver, the surname Pei is at hand." How much has she been greedy for Miss's family over the years? β
"Don't you all talk about gold and silver." Roman didn't look at the silver ticket, patted Zhou Hong's shoulder and smiled: "What you owe will have to be repaid one day." We're not in a hurry. β
Running all the way, Zhou Hong's emotions also vented a lot. Seeing Roman's quiet and gentle smile again, his whole heart calmed down.
She took a deep breath and said about her transaction with Pei Pozi: "Miss is right, when Pei Junlin is still vulgar, as long as I go to make trouble, I will roast everyone in the Zhou family on the fire."
In this case, it is better to exchange it for five thousand taels of silver. The surnamed Pei would rather kowtow than give five thousand taels more, and if she wanted to come and take her five thousand taels, she was so distressed that she couldn't do it. β
"Of course, it is stealing, and it took a lot of effort, blessings, and longevity to steal it."
Zhou Hong smiled: "Miss is as elegant as a fairy in the sky, and she even said such scathing things?" β
Roman rewarded her with a roll of the eyes, counted out five thousand taels of silver tickets from the box, and stuffed them into Zhou Hong's arms.
Without waiting for Zhou Hong to excuse himself, Roman took the lead and walked out: "I missed sending my brother to the palace, and if I don't set off, I will miss picking him up." β
Of course, it is important to pick up people, and it is even more important if you can meet the prince by chance.
Zhou Hong learned to drive, so the master and servant didn't take anyone with them, and rushed to the palace in a hurry.
At this time, Gu Quan and Zhao Wennian had already arrived near the palace, and they were bored and sat in the 'dust house' teahouse to taste tea.
In order to maintain his image of 'out of the dust', a street away from the palace, Roman asked Zhou Hong to stop the carriage: "With our identity, it is not good to drive the car to the palace." There is a teahouse in front, so place the carriage in the teahouse wagon. β
After settling in the car and driving out, it was still early. Roman took Zhou Hong shopping, there is a pickle shop on this street, and the pickled crispy small fish is strong and delicious, which is very popular with the prince.
She bought some, even if she couldn't enter the palace, she could let her brother bring them over tomorrow morning.
When he came out of the 'Dust House', Roman always felt that a gaze fell on him. When she looked back, she couldn't find it. When I got to the street, the weird feeling was still there, but I didn't care about it anymoreβ
Zhou Hong didn't wear a mask, and everywhere she went, someone turned back. She is young, she doesn't wear a hat, and her outstanding appearance attracts people to look back, and it is also very ordinary.
walked to the gate of the palace, and was about to ask Zhou Hong to hand over the sign, when he saw the king of Hejun sending his eldest brother out.
Sure enough, when he met the prince, Roman was sweet in his heart, looking at the prince's figure, his eyebrows and eyes were bent into a well-behaved manner.
It seems to have sensed something, and the king of the county also looked in the direction of Roman. When he saw Roman's eyebrows clearly, he also smiled calmly and warmly. At the same time, he sped up the pace of walking out: "Your sister is here to pick up, let's go quickly." β
Following the prince's line of sight, Luo Tingchen also saw his sister waiting at the door.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the younger sister dressed in white is holy and gentle, like a fairy in the sky. He was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of his sister.
"It's so far, why did you come here?"
"I'm here to pick you up!" Roman smiled sweetly at his brother, and then turned to salute the prince, and asked him like an adult: "How is my brother behaving today, has he caused trouble to the prince?" β
Looking at the half-grown child in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh when he finally laughed. Seeing that Roman was at a loss, most of the fatigue of the day was gone: "Your brother is very good, and he didn't cause trouble to this king." β
Roman didn't know what was funny about her, she looked at her brother who was laughing spoiled and helpless, and then at the prince, and couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart: Seeing Miss Ben happy, she didn't have to laugh like a fool.
One is his brother, and the other is the moonlight in his heart, what can he do?
So, Roman also laughed: "The prince looks so good when he laughs." β
was smiling and stunned for a moment: was he being ridiculed, or was he being teased?
A bean-sized girl!
Roman didn't receive the prince's heart, she looked up at herself, simply admiring the prince's more moist demeanor than jade, and then praised: "People are like jade, is this what you are talking about?" β
In order to show his sincerity, Roman sent the dried fish he had just bought: "I don't know what the prince likes, but I happened to see a small dried fish I like for sale, so I specially prepared one for the prince." Hope you like it too. β
He did.
looked at the food box that was stuffed into Roman's hand, and the king of the county smiled even more: the things that this girl picked for him can always pick his heart.
Is this a natural fit, or is she putting a lot of effort into pleasing herself?
Whether you meet a confidant or are solemnly taken to heart, it is always worth rejoicing.
The prince accepted the dried fish and gave Roman a sincere smile back: "I like the gift very much, thank you." β
After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Roman's bun and coaxed a child: "Man Man is also very beautiful today, like a little fairy." β
Roman laughed, his eyes full of stars.
"This king still has something to do, so I won't send it away." Luo Tingchen hurriedly bowed his hand, Roman was reluctant in his heart, and he couldn't stay longer, so he said goodbye in a proper manner: "Congratulations to the prince." β
Roman had been taught by the court, and his etiquette was of a special standard, and he was thin and small squatting there, like a finely carved jade.
He glanced at the king of the county, walked a long way, and looked back again.
Seeing the prince turn around, Roman's eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile, Tingting stood in place, waving quietly to the prince.
As soon as he walked out of Wangfu Street, two small servants greeted him: "The second master invited the son and the young lady to go to the 'dust house' to talk." As he spoke, he handed over Zhao Wennian's waist card.
The little uncle invited, and the brother and sister naturally rejoiced in the past.
On the way, Luo Tingchen told Roman: "The day before yesterday, my uncle said that he wanted to find me a master, and I will wait outside the palace today, presumably the master has found it." β
Luo Tingchen's invitation to the master was also discussed by the brother and sister not long ago.
They didn't have reliable people at hand, so they could only rely on the Zhao family's introduction. When he came to his uncle, Luo Tingchen also said clearly: Master's talent is important, and character is even more important. Such a person is not easy to find, and he is not in a hurry, so he can take his time.
I found it so quickly, and the brother and sister sighed in their hearts at the same time.
"Uncle won't harm us, but it's likely that he underestimated the weight of the county king's mansion." Roman looked at his brother with a solemn expression: "When we see people for a while, let's be more careful, don't use what you don't use, and don't rush to say death." β
Luo Tingchen nodded, took his sister's hand and entered the elegant room where Zhao Wennian was.
As soon as he entered the door, Roman met Gu Quan's inquiring gaze, and the awkward feeling of being spied on instantly caught Roman in the middle.
It turned out to be him!
