Chapter 190, Eating Mouths
Forehead?
"Cousin, we're already engaged, what's there to hope for, sooner or later."
Shen Mingze wailed in his heart: Cousin, you are still young, how can you understand the joy of marriage.
He sighed, reached out and lifted up a plum blossom from his cousin's bun, lowered his head, and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Zhong Jinxiu seemed to have long been used to it, blinked slightly, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
And Shen Mingze's forbearance made her feel cared for and loved.
This feeling is very strange, different from the feeling of her father and big brother pampering herself, at this moment she only feels that those subtle feelings in her heart are about to move.
People couldn't help but get close to him carefully, raised his head slightly, put his toes on his toes, and dropped a kiss on his lips, Shen Mingze was stunned for a moment, and then took the opportunity to pull Zhong Jinxiu into his arms, looking a little excited.
"Cousin, the family is already working on the marriage of the fourth sister, so we are also soon."
Fourth cousin?
"Who did you let him marry?"
Who did you let her marry? Instead of arranging for the family to marry anyone, Shen Mingze did not hear the inappropriateness in these words, and he replied: "Xie Zihuai, now compiled in the Hanlin Academy. ”
Xie Zihuai?
She knows this person, young and promising, and he will be able to go to court in the future.
It's good to think about this family business.
Naturally, he is a person who has seen the past, and his plan with his sister is naturally not bad.
Ahem
A light cough interrupted the two of them's thoughts, Zhong Jinxiu took a step back, and then let go.
Looking back, I actually saw Zhong Jinxin looking at them with a blank heart, affectionate and confused.
Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said, "It's time for us to go back." ”
After all, he is a person who has lived for two lifetimes, Shen Mingze didn't have a trace of blush on his face, and looked at Zhong Jinxin's gaze very naturally and said, "I'll send you back." ”
On the way back, Zhong Jinxin stared at Zhong Jinxiu, his eyes were not only exploratory but also curious.
After a while, Zhong Jinxin suddenly took a step forward, kissed her on the lips, and then chirped: "It's not tasteful, why do you always like to bite your mouth." ”
Zhong Jinxiu snorted and laughed slightly.
She raised her gaze slightly and looked at Shen Mingze who was sitting in the carriage in front of her, although the door curtain was separated, she could still feel the smile that the corners of his mouth couldn't suppress.
He should have heard it.
Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said: "It doesn't taste good, next time I eat some candied fruit, maybe it will be sweet." ”
"But if you want to eat candied fruit, you can eat it yourself, why do you want to bite your mouth?"
"Well, probably because my cousin didn't bring me preserves."
Zhong Jinxin sighed lightly, she didn't think about it anymore, she said: "By the way, today we heard something in Ping'an Temple, it seems to be a matter of cousin Cheng." ”
"What's the matter?"
Zhong Jinxin said: "Recently, my cousin Cheng is making a fuss about becoming a monk, our aunt and that cousin-in-law have come to look for it many times, and finally it is my cousin-in-law who comes... My cousin just went back. ”
Zhong Jinxiu listened in a fog, and he didn't know what Jiang Yunhan had done that caused his cousin to have to go back.
Shen Mingze, who was outside the door, explained: "It is said that Xiao Ruicheng wants to become a monk, but the concubine of Cheng Shi's mother's family has power, and is ready to ask for a decree to change Ping'an Temple to Chengwangfu, and all the monks of Ping'an Temple will be driven out to return to the world, Xiao Ruicheng can't bear to watch many monks being implicated, and in the end he can only go back with Jiang Yunhan." ”
"And at the beginning, the people of Ping'an Temple told her fortune, saying that only by marrying Xiao Rui Chengfang could she ensure that she had no worries for a lifetime, and the Jiang family later knew that this matter was caused by the Chengwang Mansion behind the scenes, and Ping'an Temple was an accomplice, and bluntly said that if her daughter had a miserable life in this life, she would let everyone in Ping'an Temple be buried with her."
"So..."
Therefore, Xiao Ruicheng is pure and kind, he will protect the lives of the monks of Ping'an Temple, and he will be good to Jiang Yun for the rest of his life. When Zhong Jinxiu heard this, she smiled.
The Jiang family is tough in the front, and the king is in the back and his own son, how can Xiao Ruicheng win.
Jiang Yunhan will be happy for the rest of his life.
Zhong Jinxin asked, "Cousin Shen, how do you know so much?" Do you also listen to pilgrims? ”
Shen Mingze looked back and smiled: "I'll tell you secretly, Xiao Ruicheng married the daughter of the Jiang family because I gave King Cheng the idea?" ”
"Huh?" Zhong Jinxin was surprised and asked, "Why?" ”
Zhong Jinxiu was also confused.
Xiao Ruicheng did not have any great achievements in the court in his last life, and lived a peaceful life, she really didn't understand why Shen Mingze wanted to help Cheng Wangfu.
Shen Mingze glanced at Zhong Jinxiu, and said in his heart: Who let the Cheng Wang family beat your idea, he always has to send his rival away first.
"I have some dealings with the Jiang family, and I know that there is a girl in her family who is about to be married, and it is just so good that I met Xiao Ruicheng, who is about to be married, so I became a matchmaker."
Zhong Jinxin nodded and believed it.
But Zhong Jinxiu doesn't think so, not to mention that he joined forces with King Cheng to deceive the Jiang family, and tricked Xiao Ruicheng, that is, King Cheng and Shen Mingze are also relatives who can't be beaten by eight poles, how could Shen Mingze interfere in his own affairs at will.
He thought that it must be him who masterminded, and even if King Cheng knew, it would happen as things developed.
After all, his son needs this family business.
When they arrived at Zhong's Mansion, Shen Mingze also returned with them, Zhong Jinxiu didn't feel anything at first, but when he saw his father staring at him, he felt that something was wrong.
But it wasn't her who had an accident, but Shen Mingze who suffered.
"Shen Mingze, where did you kidnap my daughter?"
Zhong Jinxiu wanted to explain, but Zhong Yong glared, and she shut up.
"Let's go to the temple to enjoy the plum blossoms."
Zhong Yong asked Zhong Jinxin, "Jinxin, what are they doing in the temple?" ”
Zhong Jinxin didn't say anything, and Zhong Jinxiu coughed lightly.
Zhong Jinxiu's cough was in a trance to remind Zhong Yong that they were messing around outside.
Zhong Yong didn't listen to the explanation anymore, and said, "Come on, beat this kid out for me." ”
Zhong Jinxiu glanced at Xiao Shen and wanted to ask her father why she had such a big temper, but Xiao Shen squeezed her eyes and motioned her not to speak.
Shen Mingze knew the times and said: "Uncle, you don't have to drive me, I'll go by myself, I'll go by myself..."
After Shen Mingze left, Zhong Jinxiu didn't speak, but Xiao Shen said: "Today, your father bumped into Jinyi and the young master of the Sun family outside... Oh, you said that the girls in our family, one by one, are so shameless. ”
Zhong Jinxiu lowered her head slightly, pretending to repent.
Xiao Shen said: "Jinxiu, my aunt didn't mean you, you and Shen Mingze are already engaged, and we are also turning a blind eye to this behavior, but your father is angry now, and it is inevitable to get angry..."
"Hmph—" I didn't get angry.
Zhong Jinxiu didn't care about her father's anger, and said, "Daddy asked what the third uncle and third aunt meant?" ”
Xiao Shen sighed and said, "What can they say, if something like this happens to their daughter, she will naturally go back to discipline." ”
"It seems that what happened to Jinling has not alerted them."
Zhong Jinxiu's eyes were slightly gloomy, remembering what Zhong Jinyi discussed with Sun Zhao that day, originally she didn't leave to let them know, she already knew about their conspiracy, and hoped that they would be a little restrained and dispel their minds, but they never thought about it, but this matter has intensified.
In this case, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
"Now that the third uncle has returned to the court, if it is known that he intends to ruin the marriage of the saint, then it is disobedience to the saint and will definitely be punished for the crime of disrespect."
Xiao Shen whispered: "What does it have to do with us if they can't cure crimes, it's a split after all." ”
Zhong Jinxiu actually thinks so. But his father didn't think so, his father cared about the old feelings in his heart, and forgot the pain after the scars.
She asked, "Is Daddy worried that his daughter will repeat the same mistakes?" ”
Zhong Yong frowned slightly, and Zhong Jinxiu said: "My daughter won't, I like Shen Mingze, so naturally I won't hook up with others." ”
Although Zhong Jinxin didn't know what the situation was, he promised: "I won't either." ”
Zhong Yong sighed, looking at this pair of daughters, polite and knowledgeable, they would definitely not do anything insulting.
He saw Zhong Jinyi hooking up with Sun Zhao outside today, and he angrily grabbed the two people and went to the third place, Sun actually said that their juniors were pure, and said that he slandered his niece at will, and disrespected the old, which was really annoying.
When I returned to the house, I heard that Zhong Jinxiu and Zhong Jinxin were not there, and now I saw that they were sent back by Shen Mingze, and they went behind his back to meet the man privately, and I was depressed in my heart.
I was really confused, my daughter is so dignified, how can she compare with the daughter of the two-bedroom and three-bedroom families, it is really self-defeating.
"The New Year is over, you two don't go out."
"Yes, father."
Xiao Shen said: "Oh, today's birthday is in Jinxiu, our family finally got together, how can we be angry because of irrelevant people, come and come, the meals are ready, come and eat..."
The New Year is approaching, and it is the first time that Xiao Shen wants to prepare for such a big thing, so he is naturally very busy, Zhong Jinxiu has nothing to do, so he helps his sister-in-law prepare a New Year's greeting sticker or something.
When the firecrackers in the eleventh year of Chongde sounded, indicating the beginning of the new year, Zhong Huai was young and kept making noise to set off firecrackers, Xiao Shen told people to follow before letting her go, Zhong Jinxiu looked up at the fireworks in the air and was extraordinary, and Zhong Huai's laughter in the courtyard was even more comfortable.
It's been a good year.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, my father was in the palace, escorting the emperor to the temple to worship the ancestors, and the family was also very busy.
There are countless people who send posts and gifts back and forth.
It can be seen that the status of daddy is high.
However, she is also very idle.
On the fifteenth day of the year, during the Lantern Festival in the city, Zhong Jinxin came to look for her and said that she wanted to go out to see the lanterns. Zhong Jinxiu pondered for a long time and said, "Dad won't let us go out." ”
"So you go ahead and say it."
"No, I don't want to go out."
"Cousin is still waiting for you outside."
"Don't mention him to me, it's because of him that we're grounded."
"It's okay to be a cousin who is obviously pro, if you want to blame it, you are also to blame."
Zhong Jinxiu's face was a little blurred when she heard her mention that day, and now thinking about her behavior that day, she was indeed a little unreserved, and secretly regretted it in her heart.
In the future, I will still see him rarely, and every time I see him and listen to his rhetoric, I feel a little impulsive.
"If you hadn't talked nonsense, we would have been where we are today?"
"What do you mean by me talking nonsense? I didn't say anything, it's just that you have a weak heart. ”
Zhong Jinxin went back to listen to the maids, only to know where the mouth was, it was clearly ... It's because you don't know how to avoid it, that's why I bumped into it, and when I bumped into it, I bumped into it, and deceived me, hum, it's all you, where is my fault.
"The cousin of the Shen family secretly sent a message, saying that I must take you out. You said that this day is not as good as every other autumn, this cousin of the Shen family must be thinking about eating candied fruit again. ”
"You... Shut up..."
“......”
Zhong Jinxiu asked someone to send a message, saying that she was now confined by her father at home and couldn't go out, so there was no need to meet.
After Shen Mingze received the letter, he smiled faintly.
I had no choice but to go to Zhongfu in person.
Zhong Yong was in the house, and when he heard Shen Mingze coming over, he just snorted lightly.
"Uncle, there is a lantern festival in the city today, and I want to invite my cousin out to enjoy the lanterns. I hope my uncle will be gracious..."
Hmph, Zhong Yong shook his face and didn't bother with it.
Shen Mingze's eyes looked at Xiao Shen slightly, and his pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.
Xiao Shen still doesn't know Shen Mingze's intentions, this kid sent a New Year's gift early, and everything is good.
She said: "Lantern Festival, Jinxin also said that he was going, I was inseparable from taking them there, and it happened that you came..."
Just when Zhong Lang came over, he heard that he was going to see the lantern festival, so he said, "Let's go together." ”
Only then did Zhong Yong relent:
"In an hour, rush back for me, otherwise, I don't think there will be a next time."
Zhong Jinxiu went out smoothly, and saw that Shen Mingze was a little restrained because of the appearance of his second brother, and looked back at her frequently.
Poor Baba look, but she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Shen Mingze took a step forward and asked Zhong Lang: "Second cousin, will the second cousin-in-law come to see the Lantern Festival?" ”
Zhong Lang reacted for a long time before he understood who he was referring to, and said, "I don't know." ”
Shen Mingze looked like you had done something wrong, and said, "Second cousin, didn't you mention this matter when you went to Wang's house a few days ago to pay New Year's greetings?" ”
Not really.
Zhong Lang opened his mouth and said, "You guys think I'm in the way, right?" But it's useless, I'm ordered to accompany me. ”
Zhong Jinxiu said: "Come on, second brother, don't tease him." ”
Shen Mingze glanced at Zhong Jinxiu and seemed to understand something.
Zhong Lang suddenly appeared today, could it be that his cousin proposed it?
"Come on, I'll take the two of them out for a walk, and we'll meet at the city tower later, don't delay the time."
Zhong Jinxiu bowed his head.
