Chapter Thirty-Eight: Not as Good as Qinse
When Mingrou returned home today, Princess Jiang naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed, and sent someone to greet her at the door early. Since Mingrou got married, this is the second time that Du Zhong has returned home after returning to Ning, except for the day of returning to Ning.
set up a family banquet, Mingrou looked at the familiar meals in the past, and her heart was hot. She sighed and said, "Mother, the Du family's food is simply unpalatable, I said that I would invite another cook, but Du Zhong still won't let me." ”
"Look, I've lost a little weight." Princess Jiang looked at Mingrou distressedly. "I finally went home once today, the prince and your brother are not at home, and our family still can't be reunited." She frowned.
"When is Daddy coming back?"
"It's hard to say."
Mingwan said softly: "Eldest sister, the Du family is prominent, isn't it easy to find as many cooks as you want?" ”
"But Du Zhong is very stingy, and he is reluctant to spend money to find a cook. They are stingy as a family. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, the Du family has been known for its diligence and thrift for generations, and since you marry into the Du family, you have to adapt to life there." Princess Jiang's tone was a little heavier.
"Last time I went home, Du Zhong couldn't speak openly when he was around, and this time people and my mother's family were not allowed to say their own words, mother, you are too strict." Mingrou was dissatisfied, this time she went home alone, and she didn't even bring Caichun, just to be comfortable.
Princess Jiang smiled helplessly, Mingrou really spoiled her, and she couldn't be pampered.
"According to what you say, you are not satisfied with the Du family?" Princess Jiang said.
Mingrou lowered her head and thought about it, then hesitated and said: "Du Zhong is not bad, but it is too cold to people, I can't guess what he is thinking, and suddenly this and that, people don't know what to do." Mingrou propped her face, her eyes blurred.
Ming Chu sneered, and she whispered, "Sister, you're blushing." ”
"Huh?" Mingrou covered her face with a handkerchief, and said angrily, "No, I don't, don't talk nonsense." ”
Princess Jiang smiled knowingly.
At dusk, Princess Jiang and Mingrou were walking in the house, the two stopped by the lake, and Princess Jiang asked, "Mother asks you, what do you think of the Eucommia people?" ”
"He, let's say indifferent, sometimes gentle and catches people off guard; Let's talk about gentleness, and I have a cold face all day long. ”
"It's elusive." Mingrou took two steps away, "I don't want to think about him either, I'm not so idle." ”
"And how do you feel?"
"Feelings?" Mingrou raised her eyebrows, "Mother, let me tell you the truth, since the newlywed, we have not performed the gift of Zhou Gong, but we are just husband and wife in name only." ”
Princess Jiang was surprised, "Why?" ”
"I am not in love with him, I don't want to, and he is not reluctant." Mingrou raised her hand and played with the willow branches, thinking about the night he had with her.
On the second night of the wedding, Du Zhong came back from Dali Temple late at night, and when she returned to the room, she fell asleep by the bed because she couldn't hold on.
A cold wind blew in when Du Zhong opened the door, and the chill made her sober up a little, and then she heard his voice.
"Do you want me to carry you to bed tonight?" It seems to have a playful tone.
She immediately woke up and jumped up like a rabbit, and the man in front of her was still wearing a blue official uniform that had never been taken off, and he looked at her with his arms folded for a long time.
She froze and glared at Du Zhong, thinking that I am the eldest lady of Jiang Mansion, and I am not afraid of anyone.
"Du Zhong, from today onwards, I will sleep on the bed, and you will sleep on the ground."
"Oh? Why do you think I'm going to listen to you? Du Zhong smiled, and approached her step by step.
She shrunk her neck and whispered, "What are you going to do?" "The body has already ducked backwards.
Du Zhong approached her step by step, and he stared down at him, "Why can't I sleep in bed?" ”
The cold wind on his body didn't seem to dissipate, and his breathing was warm and fell gently on her neck. She blushed and quickly turned her head away from his gaze. "You go away, I don't like you being so close to me."
"Why should I make you like it?"
"You!" She blushed. "Du Zhong, don't deceive people too much!"
Du Zhong smiled, "I just want to sleep in my own bed, what's wrong?" He leaned down, deliberately getting closer to Mingrou.
She felt her heart beating violently, and finally she couldn't take it anymore, she closed her eyes and pushed Du Zhong away, she ran to the door and glared at Du Zhong, her face full of anger.
Du Zhong sat comfortably on the bed, raised his chin slightly, and looked at her like a good show.
"Shameless." Mingrou scolded, and Du Zhong raised his eyebrows, "It's the first time I've been said to be shameless." ”
Du Zhong patted the bed, "It's late at night, let's rest." He straightened his clothes, got up and sat down in his chair. I've never been strong, and I'm not reluctant if you don't want to. He poured a cup of tea and drank it with his eyes down.
She frowned and looked at Du Zhong suspiciously, not knowing how to deal with it for a while.
"What do you mean?"
"Big husband, every word."
She stared at his grim side face, "Where do you sleep?" ”
Du Zhong pointed to the chair.
Sit on a chair and sit for the night? It's too uncomfortable, she thought. Du Zhong raised his eyes to look at her distracted face, and there was a joke in his tone, "Are you reluctant to sit all night for your husband?" ”
"Huh? I didn't! She hurriedly denied, "I wish you sat on a cold bench every night." But he sighed in his heart, isn't he good at mind reading?
She said warily, "What if you suddenly change your mind?" ”
"Sleep at ease, I won't lose my trust in women."
She put the letter on the bed, and at first stared at Du Zhong with great anxiety.
He drank cup after cup of tea, his expression was always faint, and occasionally turned his head to look at her. Later, she couldn't hold back and fell asleep, and woke up the next day to see the Du Zhong people, listening to Caichun said, she went to Dali Temple early in the morning.
Stay in Dali Temple forever, she doesn't want to see him.
Ming Rou said: "Later, a small couch was added to the room, and he slept on the couch every night. ”
Princess Jiang said sadly: "Mingrou, marry your husband, you are too willful and willful, you are no longer a child." ”
"Mother, don't be wordy, I don't want to hear it!" Mingrou threw up her sleeves and left, Princess Jiang looked at her back and sighed uncontrollably.
Only three days later, Mingrou was urged by Princess Jiang to leave the palace.
"After all, you are already a member of the Du family, so you shouldn't stay outside for too long." Princess Jiang said.
