One hundred and sixty-five
After returning to the city, Chu Tingchuan did not send her home according to Zhu Yuan's intentions, but went to a ready-to-wear shop first, and motioned to Zhu Yuan to change his clothes: "I'm not used to being served by women, so you can only pick a set of clothes here and change them yourself." ”
He was not afraid that Zhu Yuan would not.
He checked Zhu Yuan and knew what kind of life she had lived in the past.
Because of this, he gently reminded her: "If you go back like this, the elders in your family and those children will inevitably have to worry." ”
He was very thoughtful, Zhu Yuan didn't even have a reason to refuse, she looked at the clothes that Chu Tingchuan picked out for her, her eyes lit up and she couldn't bear the sourness in her heart----- although she didn't have a good life, but because Zhu Xi showed off a lot, when she saw this set of clothes at this moment, she remembered that this should be the only set of clothes embroidered by more than 20 embroiderers from the Suzhou Weaving Bureau this year.
Of course, the set of clothes in the past was worn on Zhu Xi's body.
And now, this set of clothes is in her hands.
But this is not something to be happy about, it can only show that everything about her has been figured out by Chu Tingchuan.
What she likes and dislikes, the envy, jealousy and hatred for Zhu Xi that she hides under her indifferent appearance, all fall in his eyes.
This person was so terrible, he seemed to be able to read all her thoughts.
Even her aunt and uncle thought that she was strong by nature and would not panic and be sad because of anything, but Chu Tingchuan saw through her disguise at a glance and learned her secret.
It made her uneasy.
Chu Tingchuan showed her full sincerity and good impression.
But so what?
Her body dwells nothing more than a soul full of holes.
He thought he knew her, and he indulged his pity with self-righteousness.
But what if he knew about her past?
What if he knew that she was actually about to turn over half a hundred years old in her past and present lives combined?
Men are very single-minded, and they will only like young and beautiful girls all their lives.
That kind of youth is not just a young face that remains fresh and beautiful, but a jerky feeling that has not been tempered by the world, and it is a freshness that cannot be exchanged for no amount of silver or beauty.
And she didn't.
She knows the ugliness of this world, she has experienced the most unbearable things in the world, she is still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, but her heart is already a dying old woman.
Chu Tingchuan just hasn't seen through it yet.
She put down her clothes, chose an ordinary set of clothes to change into, and cleaned herself up neatly, but she didn't see Chu Tingchuan when she came out.
She couldn't help but be stunned, the prepared remark of rejecting this set of clothes didn't come in handy at all, and a little embarrassment and regret appeared in her eyes, so she could only ask Cheng Lan on the side: "What about Your Highness?" ”
Cheng Lan is much easier to get along with than Jin Chang, he doesn't have the arrogance of a noble child, hearing Zhu Yuan's question, he first glanced at the clothes on her body in surprise, and then lowered his eyes as if he didn't see it, and said respectfully and politely: "Our Highness said that the girl is tired from running all the way, and she should be very tired, so he went to find you something to eat." ”
......
Zhu Yuan was shocked.
She now feels that Chu Tingchuan is not only sick physically, but also mentally ill.
Unlike Zhu Yuan's secret shock, Jin Chang couldn't help but ask, and he followed Chu Tingchuan with resentment and chattered: "Your Highness, why do you have to go around to Dongcheng to buy a bowl of fresh milk almond tofu?" ”
This fresh milk almond tofu is Liu Ji's signature dim sum, only 20 servings a day, it is said that the milk is the freshest, and the tofu is also ground by itself, and because it is scarce and expensive, it has always been sought after by people in the capital, and it is difficult to buy it.
But is it really necessary to be so attentive? Forget about others, but Zhu Yuan said that she is a wild girl, what can she pay attention to eating, as for going around such a long way to buy something for her for breakfast?
She can't eat this kind of good stuff even if she buys it.
It's a terrible thing.
Chu Tingchuan glanced back at him: "You seem to have complained a lot lately. ”
Jin Chang immediately shut up.
But after being silent, he still couldn't help but struggle: "Your Highness, you are too good to her, right?" She ......"
It's not that you can't be so good to Zhu Yuan.
But it's easy to misunderstand.
It can't be that His Royal Highness really plans to marry such a woman as a princess in the future, right?
Not to mention that she dared to use a knife to chop people into meat sauce on the spot, just the fact that she sued her father with her son and was a big rebellion was enough to make her be excluded from the list of all the families in the capital.
Even if it was the Chen family, who was favored by her, let them stand up and say that the children of the family wanted to marry Zhu Yuan, could they do it?
This is a very realistic question, Jin Chang frowned, and persuaded Chu Tingchuan to stay calm and reasonable: "Your Highness, even if you want to recruit talents, you don't have to do it yourself, do you do it like this?" Your status is valuable......"
Chu Tingchuan glanced at him coldly, reached out and took the food box in his hand, and let him go expressionlessly: "Since it's so unpleasant, then don't look at it at all." ”
Jin Chang didn't react for a while, looking at Chu Tingchuan, the whole person was stunned, and stood in place without moving.
What did Your Highness say just now?
What does His Highness mean when he asked him not to look at it?
Chu Tingchuan quickly gave him the answer: "I will be better to her from now on, and I will do more things that are out of my identity in your eyes, since you don't like it, then just don't follow me closely, go to Jin Wuwei on an errand." ”
Jin Chang was stunned, he didn't expect Chu Tingchuan to do this, he was a little aggrieved and puzzled, and was about to ask again, but the people around him suddenly rushed forward like a tide.
He hurriedly protected Chu Tingchuan, grabbed someone and asked him what was wrong.
This battle is a bit like the scene when the people flocked to the city tower to see the sky during the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
He looked around coldly, and he had already seen the people of the Jinyi Guard and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
Chu Tingchuan was also thoughtful.
The man who was caught by Jin Chang excitedly told him: "You don't know! I heard that Ru Ningbo was caught raping! In front of so many people! The red strips came out of Tongxiang Building, tsk...... Now everyone is rushing to see it! ”
What the?!
Jin Chang was a little suspicious of his ears.
I haven't heard of Ru Ningbo having this hobby before.
Is it really because of the same smell as King Xingping? Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black?
