Du Xiaomeng ignored Zhan Qi's cold attitude towards her. She went back to her room and put down the scroll, changed out of her paint-stained clothes as quickly as she could, washed her face, and then went back to the living room.

At the small round dining table, Yu Tianzheng and Zhan Qi sat on the upper seat, while the restrained and cautious Xiao Gongzi and Lin Xinru sat next to each other, sitting away from the two. Du Xiaomeng can't squeeze between Xiao Gongzi and Lin Xinru, so she can only choose to sit next to Yu Tianzheng or sit next to Zhan Qi.

After a quick glance at the form of the dinner table, Du Xiaomeng hesitated, but still walked to Yu Tianzheng's side, and sat down slowly with a casual smile on his face.

Yu Tianzheng looked at Du Xiaomeng with a smile, took out a delicate square wooden box, and said, "Last time, I saw that you liked the walnut crisp of Liufu, and I asked Mrs. Liu to make some and bring them to you." ”

Du Xiaomeng was a little surprised, she smiled back at Yu Tianzheng after she was stunned for a while, took the box and said, "Thank you." Do you remember that I liked walnut crisp? I'm really sorry that you want to trouble Mrs. Liu on purpose. ”

"Don't be embarrassed, I just happened to go to Liufu to do some business, so I asked Mrs. Liu for some snacks by the way." The smile on her face made Yu Tianzheng's heart warm, as warm as the sunshine in spring.

Yu Tianzheng at this end was sunny in his heart, and Zhan Qi at the other end was full of gloomy oppression.

He spent far more time with Du Xiaomeng than Yu Tianzheng, but it wasn't until today that he realized that he didn't know much about Du Xiaomeng. He didn't know what she liked and didn't like, but Yu Tianzheng, who hadn't been with her for a long time, did.

This discovery made Zhan Qi feel very depressed. At this depressed time, seeing Yu Tianzheng and Du Xiaomeng smiling brightly in front of him, he felt very dazzling, but he didn't have any reason or position to see that others were not going well. So, he didn't see anything as if he was lucky, tried his best to control himself not to show the slightest strange expression, and lowered his head very gracefully and cultivated to eat the food silently and compete with the wine glass in his hand.

After eating a banquet that didn't taste good, Zhan Qi felt that it was even more tiring than having to let him go into battle to charge and kill the enemy for a few rounds.

After coming out of Du Xiaomeng and them, Zhan Qi and Yu Tianzheng got into their respective carriages and parted ways. Sitting in the car, he couldn't see the shadows of Yu Tianzheng and Du Xiaomeng, and Zhan Qi felt relieved. His mood now is completely controlled by his good brother and that little woman. He couldn't figure out why such a situation happened to him, he only knew that he couldn't get rid of this situation at the moment. He was unable to control his emotions, which annoyed him.

After sulking at the empty carriage for a while, Zhan Qi made a decision, that is, in the future, he should avoid appearing on occasions where Yu Tianzheng and Du Xiaomeng exist at the same time, so as not to make himself unhappy.

The carriage drove straight into the general's mansion, Zhan Qi jumped down from the carriage and was about to walk to his room, but just raised his feet, but saw his father standing alone on the steps not far away and looking at him.

Zhan Qi hurriedly walked up to help him and asked, "Dad, why don't you have a good rest and come here by yourself?" ”

Old Man Zhan sighed, and said with a sad face: "Qi'er, you really don't plan to get Xiaomeng back?" ”

His father hasn't broken off the idea of wanting Du Xiaomeng to be his daughter-in-law? Remembering that day, Yu Tianzheng said to him in an affirmative tone, "Brother is serious about Xiaomeng", Zhan Qi's face couldn't help but sink, and he said angrily: "Dad, didn't I already tell you?" Du Xiaomeng, she is now the person that His Royal Highness has a crush on, and the person she likes is also His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you want me to do when I come back to her? ”

"But, pray ......"

Old Man Zhan wanted to say something, but Zhan Qi interrupted him: "Dad, it's windy outside, I'll help you go back and rest." ”

Seeing that Zhan Qi didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, Old Man Zhan didn't force it anymore, and let him help him back to Nianciyuan.

Looking at his son's departing figure, Old Man Zhan touched his beard and sighed again. According to the news that Lao Yang came back from inquiring, at present, Xiaomeng's girl only has friendship with His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is no love between men and women. If you want to pull her back, you have to do something before she thinks about His Highness, but now it's impossible to count on that stupid son who can't even figure out his own mind, so wait for him, the father, to do it.

After many years of experience in seeing people, Old Man Zhan has always been uneasy about Qiusha's woman, and he has never been willing to watch his son have too much affection for that woman. When he was still alive, Zhan Qi would look at his face and dare not give Qiusha the status of his wife, but what about him after he returned to old age in a hundred years? What else can I manage? Now that there is finally a woman who he looks good in all aspects and is very suitable for his son, how can he let others snatch it away? Even if the other party is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it can't be! He had to leave something for his son during his lifetime.

Old Man Zhan showed an old traitor's slippery smile on his face, and then ordered someone to call Steward Yang to come over, closed the door and mysteriously explained in Steward Yang's ear.

Steward Yang nodded from time to time as he listened, and a complicated look flashed on his face.

After drinking for the new home, Du Xiaomeng's life continued to live in plainness.

After buying a house, the money in hand is no longer enough to buy an acre of fertile land. Du Xiaomeng, who couldn't realize the grand wish of the local housewife to buy land and land, and knew that it was important to take precautions, didn't want to sit and eat with a little silver in her hand, and just heard Xiao Gongzi say that the Ruyi painting workshop where he used to work as a helper was recruiting workers, so she asked Xiao Gongzi to help introduce and find a job in the workshop.

The salary offered by the studio is not very high, but the job is more comfortable than heavy manual work. In the absence of other better options, I can only mix in the studio for the time being.

After knowing that Du Xiaomeng went to work as a helper in the art workshop, Yu Tianzheng's good-looking eyes fell on her face after turning a few circles around her body, and she picked her lips and bloomed a charming smile, as if she was serious and jokingly said: "Xiaomeng, if you are short of money, do you want to take into account my Rui Wangfu and let me raise it?" ”

Du Xiaomeng glanced at his handsome face with a charming smile several times, and after thinking that he was joking, he showed a very serious expression on his face, looked him in the eyes, and said seriously: "Don't." Others say that three women can become a noisy ruin, there are more than three women in your Rui Wangfu, I like to be quiet, but I don't want to live in a lively and wonderful life every day. As she spoke, she reached out and patted Yu Tianzheng's shoulder, and the expression on her face turned to sympathy, "Tianzheng, the blessing of Qi people is not something that everyone can enjoy, you can enjoy it so easily, my admiration for you is no longer something that can be expressed in ordinary words." ”

Her tone sounded admiring, but her face was undisguised with sympathy.

Yu Tianzheng ignored her sympathy, and said very calmly: "Since it can't be expressed in ordinary words, you can use extraordinary words to express your admiration to me." ”

This buddy's face has a certain thickness! Du Xiaomeng held his forehead wordlessly, and gave Yu Tianzheng a roll of his eyes unceremoniously.
