Chapter Eighty-Six: Scheming
Zhang Yinyin looked at Murong Yi, and there seemed to be a wave of light in her eyes. She was born with the fourth lady to be beautiful. And when she laughs, it is even more bright and moving, and people are attracted by her smile unconsciously.
was looked up to by such a beautiful woman as Zhang Yinyin, Murong Yi also praised with a calm expression: "It turns out that this dish is made by Miss Five, and Miss Five's cooking skills really make this king admire." ”
Hearing Murong Yi's words, Zhang Yinyin smiled slightly: "If His Royal Highness King Ning likes it, next time you come to our house for dinner, I will make it for you." ”
Murong Yi was stunned, and Jian Xiaozhu also looked at Zhang Yinyin, thinking that her sister spoke too bluntly.
And Murong Yi said politely: "If there is a chance, this king will definitely try again." ”
Zhang Yinyin poured Murong Yi a glass of wine, and said in a somewhat coquettish tone: "Then His Royal Highness King Ning, we will make up our minds." ”
Murong Yi was stunned, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly. Seeing this, Zhang Tiande coughed dryly twice, and then said to Murong Yi: "Yinyin, this child is neither big nor small, King Ning should not be surprised." ”
Murong Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no!" Imperial Doctor Zhang, don't think too much" While speaking, he glanced at Jian Xiaozhu, but found that Jian Xiaozhu was intently nibbling on a piece of ribs. So a slightly doting smile appeared on the corner of Murong Yi's mouth, and he turned to Zhang Tiande.
It's just that Zhang Tiande and Murong Yi couldn't chat for a few words, and then they began to care about Murong Yi's lifelong affairs: "His Royal Highness King Ning, you and Shanqing are classmates, and they are the same age. Now that Shanqing, the wild child, has found a home, His Royal Highness King Ning, do you have any plans to get married? ”
Murong Yi sighed lightly: "Alas, even if you want to get married, this king has to find a woman who is in love with this king." ”
Zhang Tiande asked: "Presumably, with King Ning's conditions, there will be no fewer women who want to marry you." Did King Ning ever have a favorite? ”
While speaking, Zhang Tiande glanced at Jian Xiaozhu again, and saw that Jian Xiaozhu was concentrating on eating the things in the bowl. Zhang Tiande secretly said that this child is really not angry. And Murong Yi replied with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, this question may be inconvenient for this king to answer. ”
Zhang Tiande was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "The old man is just curious to ask, and he doesn't mean anything else, and I hope King Ning won't think too much." ”
Murong Yi smiled: "No." Come, Imperial Doctor Zhang, I'll give you a toast. ”
After a glass of wine, Zhang Tiande saw that Jian Xiaozhu had finally stopped eating meat. So he said: "Speaking of which, Zhu'er has also reached the age of marriage." ”
Jian Xiaozhu looked at Zhang Tiande with a confused expression, while Zhang Tiande looked at Murong Yi and said, "I don't know if Zhu'er can find a good family." ”
Looking at Zhang Tiande's eyes, Jian Xiaozhu knew that Zhang Tiande probably wanted to match her and Murong Yi again.
It's just that without waiting for Murong Yi to speak, the fourth lady said at this time: "Master, after Yinyin's birthday last month, she is also at an age suitable for marriage. ”
"yes, yes." Zhang Tiande glanced at the fourth lady unhappily and didn't say anything more.
After he was full of wine and food, Murong Yi was about to leave. Zhang Tiande wanted to create an opportunity for Jian Xiaozhu and Murong Yi, so he said, "Zhu'er, you go and send King Ning." ”
At this time, Zhang Yinyin said: "My sister went to the second brother's new house in the morning and was busy all morning, and she must be tired." It's better for me to send His Royal Highness King Ning, sister, just go back to your room to rest. ”
Jian Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Then thank you." ”
Murong Yi still wanted to say something to Jian Xiaozhu, but saw that Jian Xiaozhu had already turned around and left. On the side, Zhang Yinyin smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Ning, I'll send you out." ”
Murong Yi reluctantly squeezed out a polite smile: "Then thank you Miss Yinyin." ”
When Jian Xiaozhu returned to the house, he heard movement in the next room. So she knocked on the door and found that Zhang Shanlin was indeed in the room. Thinking of what the fourth lady said before lunch, Jian Xiaozhu asked Zhang Shanlin: "I heard that Siniang said that you are looking for me, is there anything wrong?" ”
It's just that when Zhang Shanlin heard Jian Xiaozhu's words, he was first puzzled, and then at a loss: "Third sister, I haven't spoken to the fourth lady." ”
"So, you didn't look for me?"
Zhang Shanlin shook his head: "I live next door to you, and I can come at any time if I want to find you." Besides, I don't have anything to look for you for. ”
"I see."
Seeing that Jian Xiaozhu's face was a little wrong, Zhang Shanlin asked, "Third sister, what happened?" ”
Jian Xiaozhu shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just a little tired." I went back to my room to rest. ”
With that, Jian Xiaozhu returned to the room and closed the door tightly. She thought about everything that had happened after returning to Zhang's mansion at noon, and she only felt that all this made her feel extremely disgusting.
Originally, she thought that Zhang's mansion and the palace were different. Home should be a safe haven-like place, and those intrigues don't happen at home. It's just that, after all, this is an ancient family, Zhang Tiande has three wives and four concubines, and if he has many wives, intrigue is naturally indispensable in the family.
It's just that I didn't expect to finally return home and have to encounter this kind of thing. Jian Xiaozhu remembered that when she first met the fourth lady, she only felt that this beautiful woman looked amiable and easy to get along with. Unexpectedly, she was a scheming who was very good at tricks.
"I can't live this day!"
Jian Xiaozhu was a little annoyed and a little sad. She has always hated such things, so she puts all her energy into studying. After all, learning is one of the few things that can be rewarded as long as you work hard, and only by working hard to get into a relatively simple working environment will you not be used as a stepping stone by others in the intrigue work environment.
No matter how you look at it, learning is much easier than scheming.
It's just that in ancient times, girls didn't have the opportunity to take exams. Therefore, whether it is a palace fight drama or a house fight drama, it is a group of women who are fighting hotly.
Jian Xiaozhu sighed, and finally escaped the palace fight, but encountered the house fight again. It's just that if you can't afford to provoke you, you can still hide, so if it's a big deal, you just pretend you don't know anything, and you're happy.
But Jian Xiaozhu wanted to be calm, but Zhang Yinyin took the initiative to knock on Jian Xiaozhu's door.
As soon as she entered Jian Xiaozhu's room, Zhang Yinyin sat down unceremoniously. Although she still had a smile on her face, she looked at Jian Xiaozhu with a smug look in her eyes: "Third sister, I have been chatting with His Royal Highness King Ning for a long time today, and I found that I am quite close to him." ”
Jian Xiaozhu let out an indifferent "oh".
Seeing that Jian Xiaozhu didn't react, Zhang Yinyin said again: "Third sister, I know that you and His Royal Highness King Ning are relatively close, and my father also intends to match you." It's just that I like His Royal Highness King Ning very much, so I want to ask the third sister what do you think? ”
