In order to compete with Fu Yunshen, Zhou Jingrong racked his brains all day thinking about how to toss him, and even dreamed about it at night, but dark circles appeared the next day.

Zhou Jingrong was annoyed and spread a thick layer of pearl powder under her eyes to cover the dark circles under her eyes, and did not forget to tell Fu Yunshen: "Today we are going to show more affection and dispel the rumors that you are going to take a concubine." ”

Fu Yunshen walked over, leaned down and hugged her from behind, and his magnetic voice had a coquettish tone: "What, we are not usually affectionate enough?" ”

The warm breath hit Zhou Jingrong's ears, she felt a little itchy, dodged to the side, and said angrily: "Don't make trouble, you know what I mean." ”

Fu Yunshen took a stool, sat beside her, twisted her hair boredly, and answered lazily: "Hmm." ”

Zhou Jingrong finished covering the dark circles under his eyes, and reached out to take Luo Dai in the makeup box, but Fu Yunshen cut off his beard, and he said with great interest: "I'll help you with your thrush." ”

Zhou Jingrong reached out to grab it, and ruthlessly refused: "No." ”

Fu Yunshen stretched out his arm, so that she couldn't reach it, and said with a smile: "I heard that in the boudoir, the private affairs of husband and wife are none other than thrushes." ”

Zhou Jingrong was very disgusted: "Where did you hear this kind of thing?" ”

Fu Yun smiled deeply and said nothing.

Zhou Jingrong said helplessly: "Luozidai is very expensive, let's not waste money, okay?" ”

Fu Yunshen looked at her seriously: "You have to believe me." ”

One sentence blocked all of Zhou Jingrong's rebuttals, and she raised her eyebrows: "Yo, so confident, have you ever painted for other women before?" ”

Facing Zhou Jingrong's scrutinizing gaze, Fu Yunshen smiled helplessly, but felt inexplicably happy because of her slightly vinegared tone: "No, but I don't think it's difficult to see you draw your eyebrows every day." ”

Zhou Jingrong thought about it, okay, anyway, if you can't draw well, you can redraw it, since Fu Yunshen is so interested, give him a chance to try it.

Fu Yunshen held Zhou Jingrong's chin with one hand, picked up Luo Dai with the other, and gently swept her eyebrows, but caused her to giggle.

Fu Yunshen shook his hand, drew it to the outside of his eyebrows, and complained slightly: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhou Jingrong stuck out her tongue mischievously: "Itchy." ”

Fu Yunshen gently wiped off the color that was drawn beyond her eyebrows, and saw her moist and smart eyes dripping and turning, shaking his heart, how could he still have the heart to do a good job of thrushing.

He covered her eyes and commanded softly, "Close your eyes." ”

Zhou Jingrong pursed her lips dissatisfied: "Why?" ”

She blinked, and her long, soft eyelashes gently swept across Fu Yunshen's palm like feathers, making his palm burn.

He removed his hand in a panic and said unnaturally, "Ahem, it will be distracted." ”

Zhou Jingrong pursed her lips, disgusted and felt that Fu Yun had a lot of things, but she still closed her eyes obediently.

The person who pleases the heart is in front of him, with beautiful eyes and a slight chin raised, showing a beautiful face, demure and well-behaved, and a look of being picked by anyone.

Fu Yun's deep eyes deepened, his throat tightened, and he unconsciously held Zhou Jingrong's cheek and stroked her eyebrow bone.

Zhou Jingrong didn't know what Fu Yunshen was thinking, he just thought that he was tracing the shape of his eyebrows, his brows trembled slightly, but he still obediently didn't open his eyes.

Fu Yunshen worked hard to calm down, put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then seriously painted her eyebrows.

However, this thrush seems to be easy, but it is not easy to really get started, either the position is high and low, or the color is dark and light.

Fu Yunshen spent a while before he finished painting, and waited anxiously for Zhou Jingrong's verdict.

Zhou Jingrong picked up the small bronze mirror with entwined lotus flowers, looked left and right, except that the color was darker, the eyebrow shape was still good, and then said with a smile: "Yes, a genius is a genius, he learns everything quickly, and he has the capital of self-confidence." ”

Fu Yunshen was recognized and praised by Zhou Jingrong, his face was overjoyed, and he suddenly burst with self-confidence, and he was eager to try: "I'll help you draw Huadian again!" ”

Zhou Jingrong brushed his hand away, and didn't give him another chance to challenge himself: "I have ready-made, many, many, just help me pick one." ”

As she spoke, she took a flat makeup box, and when she opened it, there were all kinds of flowers neatly stacked inside. There are gold leaf, green feathers, pearls, mica, various materials, all kinds of flower patterns, all of which are expensive and beautiful.

Fu Yunshen regretfully rested, picked a flowing cloud-shaped Huadian, and put makeup on her forehead with his own hands.

At the banquet, Fu Yunshen really remembered Zhou Jingrong's instructions to "show affection", and sent her a few things to eat one after another, the fish meat has been de-thorned, and the green shrimp has been peeled, which makes all the ladies envious.

Zhou Jingrong also reciprocated, sent back a pot of hot milk tea, and instructed the little servant: "Your second master has a bad stomach, let him drink less alcohol and drink more warm soup." ”

A woman at the same table with Zhou Jingrong covered her lips and quipped: "I didn't expect Fu Xie Yuan to be so distressed, Mrs. Xie Yuan is really a blessing." ”

Zhou Jingrong smiled shyly, but heard someone laugh strangely: "Fu Xie Yuan is a good fortune, not only has a virtuous wife like our Mrs. Xie Yuan, but also wants to marry a beautiful concubine." I heard that although the fourth girl Jing is a concubine, she was born with a good color, and she is proficient in the way of quyi, and she is also a lovely person. Fu Xie Yuan's fame is in the middle of his fame, and he has a beautiful wife and concubine in the room, enjoying the blessings of all people, but it is not the second of the four joys in life. ”

Although the woman was joking, her words were full of malice. After all, a husband and a concubine are not an easy thing for women to joke about. Obviously, her remarks were to block Zhou Jingrong.

Sure enough, as soon as her voice fell, all the female relatives had delicate expressions, no one dared to answer her words, and they didn't know how to round the scene, and the atmosphere was embarrassing for a while.

Gan Tang and Mrs. Yang are sitting on Zhou Jingrong's left and right.

Gan Tang is lonely and cold, he rarely interacts with people, Mrs. Yang has always been kind to others, and the personalities of both of them are more forbearing, but at this time, they can't help but let go of their emotions, and they all glanced at the woman with disgust.

Zhou Jingrong's face remained unchanged, still smiling lightly, and asked in a soft tone: "Concubine?" Where did Sister-in-law Zhang hear about it? ”

Sister-in-law Zhang said confidently: "At the Luming banquet that day, the lieutenant of Jing County said it himself. ”

Zhou Jingrong looked very interested: "Oh, it turns out that Sister-in-law Zhang also participated in the Luming Banquet, but I couldn't go, I don't know if the banquet is interesting?" ”

The Luming Banquet is a celebration banquet for the students of the Middle School Lift, and it is also attended by officials and famous people, and they do not bring their families.

Sister-in-law Zhang sneered: "As both women, how can there be that honor to participate in the banquet." ”

Zhou Jingrong was a little puzzled, and said curiously: "Hey, it turns out that Sister-in-law Zhang was not at the banquet, and she didn't hear with her own ears that the county lieutenant of Jing County was going to promise Miss Jing Si to my husband as a concubine, so who did my sister-in-law listen to about this?" ”

The woman surnamed Zhang realized Zhou Jingrong's language trap at this time, and it turned out that she was waiting for her here, and she couldn't help but be a little flustered.

This matter was originally told by her husband, who was the head catcher of the county government and the right-hand man under the Jing County Lieutenant. Therefore, she knew that Jing County Wei had the heart to marry Fu Yunshen, and she also knew that Fu Yunshen refused the matter.

The reason why she knew the truth of all the facts, but she deliberately misreported that Fu Yunshen had taken a concubine, was that she saw that Fu Yunshen and Zhou Jingrong were in love and harmony, and she was jealous, so she deliberately found it unhappy, but she would have caused such a disaster.

Because now, she can't retract her confession, otherwise her husband will be implicated. can't admit it in front of everyone, it was her husband who gossiped with her about these parents.

As a man, he gossips like a woman, and he talks about other people's wives and concubines, isn't it a joke to say it?

So she could only say, "Yes, I heard someone outside." ”

At this time, Zhou Jingrong didn't need to speak, Gan Tang looked cold and scolded her back: "I still thought, why did my uncle want to take a concubine, but my family didn't know, it was my sister-in-law who listened to the words of the market." There are many rumors in the market, today it is said that the girl of the Wang family looks like no salt, and Ming'er said that the son of the Li family is the reincarnation of Tianxing, which sentence is credible? Sister-in-law Zhang took these false rumors as true, where did she put the face of my Fu family? ”

Gan Tang's words were heavier, and Sister-in-law Zhang waved her hand again and again in a panic, and her words couldn't be said clearly: "This, I, don't ......"

Mrs. Yang also followed and said: "Congjia is dedicated to learning, and gaining fame is the top priority, how can you indulge in children's affairs." Besides, the fourth girl Jing is a girl who has not yet left the cabinet, and she is the daughter of the county lieutenant, how can she have a relationship with the concubine, and she has tarnished her reputation in vain, which is really a disaster! ”

Sister-in-law Zhang was charged with slandering the name of the daughter of the county lieutenant by Mrs. Yang, and she was so frightened that she was about to cry: "No, I didn't, I didn't mean that......"

Zhou Jingrong saw her so out of shape, so she got up and walked to her, patted her shoulder comfortingly, and said to everyone: "What my wife said is, as the saying goes, it is better to be a low-door wife than a high-door concubine, which is a truth that even small families understand. What's more, Miss Jing Si is the daughter of the county lieutenant, although she is a concubine, she is also a daughter of an official family, and her status is precious, how can she be a concubine with someone? If you ruin people's reputation and cut off your life, please be cautious. ”

In this era of high status of literati, along with her family, she will be respected, coupled with Zhou Jingrong's fame, everyone is extremely convinced of what she said.

Her words deliberately elevated the status of the lieutenant of Jing County, so that everyone also had such a belief, and put an end to his thoughts of wanting to stuff his daughter into Fu Yunshen as a concubine, and even for the sake of face, he would not allow his concubine to anyone as a concubine.

That Jing Si girl can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, even if she marries low to a small family to be the housewife, it is better than the concubine room in the courtyard of the deep house.

But the woman surnamed Zhang was miserable, she was not only slapped by Zhou Jingrong, Gan Tang, and Mrs. Yang today, but her face hurt with a left and right slap, because she was so speechless, implicated the lieutenant of Jing County, and even affected her husband's suspicion and dissatisfaction from the peak, and her career was blocked. In this way, her life will not be easy.

But she deserves it, and this is the price she paid for her open-mouthedness and rumor-mongering.
