Chapter 401: Can't pay it off
After Jiang Yu returned home, he went directly to his study.
On the way, Lu Yao told the truth about Princess Ting's visit.
Before he entered the study, Jiang Yu smelled a quiet fragrance of tea. He frowned and pushed the door in.
Zhen's tea is brewed.
"My husband came back just in time. The first soup and two teas, come and try my craft. ”
Zhu Yu on the side said with a smile: "Xiangye doesn't know, this day, the princess specially found the best tea lady and learned the craft of cooking tea." I'm waiting to make you tea! ”
"Lu Yao." Jiang Yu's face sank, and his tone couldn't help but be stiff: "Don't enter the study in the future." ”
These words made Zhen very embarrassed, and his face was a little unbearable. "Don't worry, husband, I also came here because of Princess Ting. If you don't like it, I won't come here without permission in the future. ”
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yu glanced sideways.
Zhen hurriedly said: "Princess Ting came over today and said that she was asking for an official position for her husband." It shows that I went to Peilin's sister, but it seems to be quite unpleasant. Peilin's sister even threw out the things she sent in. ”
"What official position do you want?" Jiang Yu didn't bother to listen to her about Gan Peilin, so he asked directly.
"It is said that it is the protector general...... Princess Zhen frowned and said: "Princess Ting wants to go to the fiefdom with her husband." Fiefdom is ...... West. ”
Ao Xuan wants to go to the West?
Jiang Yu looked at Zhen with cold eyes.
Zhen was very uncomfortable by such a gaze, and hurriedly said: "Husband, I didn't promise Princess Ting, if you don't like it, just refuse." This kind of thing, I know I can't be a part of. What's more, her husband is going to the west......"
"Got it." Jiang Yu looked at the sky: "You go back first." ”
"Do you want to have dinner with me?" Zhen asked cautiously, "I have asked the cook to prepare a delicious meal." ”
"No, I don't have much appetite." Jiang Yu didn't look at Zhen anymore and sat down by himself.
Zhen was very disappointed in his heart, but he still didn't show it: "That husband remember to eat something, don't go hungry." ”
Jiang Yu was silent.
Zhu Yu helped Princess Zhen and walked out slowly.
Before the two of them walked out of the door, they heard Jiang Yu instruct Lu Yao: "The tea is withdrawn." ”
"Yes, master." Lu Yao hurriedly complied.
Zhen glanced back, looked at Jiang Yu with heavy eyes, and his heart was sour.
When Lu Yao passed by Princess Zhen with a tea set, he lowered his head a little embarrassed.
"Hmm......" Zhen didn't hold back, covering his mouth and retching.
When Jiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "You're not in good health, don't go out and walk around, take care of it." ”
A smile appeared on Zhen's face because of his words: "Thank you for your care, I know." ”
But even though she looked at Jiang Yu with a smile on her face, she couldn't get a response from Jiang Yu.
Zhu Yu was also angry in her heart, this Xiangye was too cold to the princess.
"Let's go back." Out of the threshold, Zhen stiffened his face.
"Don't worry, princess, your body is important now, don't worry about these little things." Zhu Yu said softly.
"A pregnant woman can't get the mercy of her husband, is this still a trivial matter?" Princess Zhen's voice was not loud, but her tone was particularly fierce.
Zhu Yu couldn't help but be startled, and quickly shook her head: "Princess, the slave doesn't mean that." ”
"Okay, don't say anything, I don't want to hear it." Zhen shook off the hand she was holding onto herself: "Don't follow me." ”
Zhu Yu was aggrieved, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only silently follow behind Princess Zhen.
Not far away, Suoyang finished dinner and came to pick up the princess back.
Seeing this scene, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile: "Princess, everything is ready, and there is your favorite hometown food." ”
"Hmm." Zhen stroked his stomach: "Today is really disgusting." ”
Suo Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, princess, your belly is getting bigger day by day, and it's more effective than anything else." No matter how stupid the people in the house are, they will understand who is the master of the house. ”
"It's sweet in your mouth." Only then did Princess Zhen's face show a smile.
Zhu Yu, who was following from afar, really didn't understand how she had offended the princess. After serving the princess for so many years, the princess rarely dislikes herself like this.
Back in the courtyard, Zhu Yu was just about to enter the room, but she was locked outside the door.
"The princess is in a bad mood today, so you don't have to come and serve." Suo Yang said gently: "Wait for dinner, the princess still has to bathe, you go and prepare hot water." ”
"But these things ......" Before Zhu Yu's words were finished, Suo Yang had already slammed the door shut.
Here, after Jiang Yu dealt with the matter at hand, he still went to Gan Peilin's yard head-on.
At this time, Gan Peilin was standing in the courtyard of the vestibule, looking at a few osmanthus trees in the yard, which seemed to have buds.
When Liulan and Yanzi saw Jiang Yu coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Jiang Yu waved his hand and told them to step back and walk straight behind Gan Peilin.
"Liulan, wait a few days, this osmanthus has just bloomed slightly, and it will be picked down. When the flowers are fully opened, the fragrance of the flowers will disperse, and there are insects that are easy to burrow into the stamens, so it will be difficult to deal with at that time. Gan Peilin said with a smile: "Don't look at a few osmanthus trees that are inconspicuous, you can pickle a lot of osmanthus nectar, and you can also use this flower to make a lot of pastries and dishes." I remember that my grandmother's osmanthus duck was particularly delicious. ”
When she finished speaking, she didn't hear a response, and she couldn't help but turn her head away.
Jiang Yu looked at her expressionlessly, but she was startled.
"You...... There you are. Gan Peilin lowered his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "The people outside didn't spread the word, and I didn't pay attention to it." Did you have dinner? ”
"Nope." Jiang Yu felt a little hungry at this time.
"That's right." Gan Peilin said: "There is still some food in the house. ”
"......" she meant, eat the leftovers? Jiang Yu couldn't help frowning.
"Let's try it." Gan Peilin walked straight inside.
Jiang Yu frowned and followed her in.
Said that there was still some food, and the dishes on the table looked like they hadn't been touched at all.
"It's a little cold, why don't you let Ryuran heat it up." Gan Peilin's hand touched the side of the plate: "Then you wait." ”
"No need." Jiang Yu sat down, took the mushroom and rape with the chopsticks, and lowered his head to eat.
Gan Peilin got up and poured him a cup of hot tea and brought it to him.
"Have you eaten it?" Jiang Yu asked.
"Ate a bowl of porridge." Gan Peilin said truthfully.
"Eat more." Jiang Yu thought she was too thin.
"It's fine." Gan Peilin took the chopsticks and casually picked up some vegetables and put them in his mouth.
"Princess Ting has been here?" Jiang Yu seemed to ask casually, but there were already waves in his heart.
"Hmm." Gan Peilin answered, opened the purple clay cup in front of him, held a bowl of boiled white porridge, and sent it to Jiang Yu's hand. "The porridge is still hot, so you can eat some of it, and it won't make your stomach uncomfortable."
Jiang Yu nodded, ate slowly, and neither of them said anything more.
It seems that Gan Peilin doesn't plan to mention this matter himself.
While eating, Jiang Yu lost his appetite and simply put down his chopsticks.
"Isn't it delicious?" Gan Peilin looked at him in wonder.
"General Protector, do you think Ao Su is worthy?" This sentence was asked directly, and Jiang Yu's eyes stared at Gan Peilin for a moment.
"I don't know." Gan Peilin only had these three words, and didn't say anything else.
After being silent for a moment, Jiang Yu was really uncomfortable: "You don't have anything else to say?" ”
"Nope." Gan Peilin replied painlessly.
This made Jiang Yu feel even more unhappy, he really wanted to know, what was going on in this woman's mind?
If he was someone else, he was willing to come, and she had to change her tricks to make him happy. Maybe as soon as you are happy, the conflict between the two people will be eased. But she doesn't seem to take it seriously at all.
"You ......" Jiang Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"I know what you're trying to ask." Gan Peilin saw that he was so uncomfortable and smiled bitterly. "One, you already know that the incident was Wu Wei's troublemaker. Second, in the current situation, King Yeqing hopes to form an alliance with you to jointly fight against the queen and her henchmen. Although the Ao family is not a powerful general, they are also in-laws of the Jiang Mansion. If you kill Ao Xuan with your own hands, it will only give the queen a chance, which is not a wise move. At the same time, it also broke the heart of the second aunt and wife. If you ask me, of course I think I can let him go to the west. But if you want to ask me if he is worthy...... I don't think he's worthy. ”
"So you've given this puzzle to Zhen." Jiang Yu thought to himself, Gan Peilin is Gan Peilin, he can achieve his goal and protect himself.
"Huh." Gan Peilin couldn't help laughing: "It's not a problem." Princess Zhen's temperament, how could she want Ao Xuan to go to the west to defend it. She's the princess of Tatsukoku. ”
"What do you ...... say" Jiang Yu's eyes tightened slightly: "It's ruthless enough." ”
"I didn't mean anything else." Gan Peilin's expression was flat: "It's just a matter of facts." ”
"That day, why didn't you leave and turn back again?" Jiang Yu still couldn't hold back, wanting to listen to her in person.
"I can't go because you're still there." Gan Peilin said with deep eyes: "We came together, of course we have to go back together." ”
"So you deliberately became a hostage of Princess Ting?" Jiang Yu has always speculated like this.
"Yes." Gan Peilin nodded: "You asked Lu Yao to send me home, and Lu Yao entrusted me to Yanzi." If it weren't for Princess Ting forcibly bringing me back to the battlefield, according to your temper, you would definitely blame Lu Yao and Yanzi. I...... I can't bear it. ”
"It's hard for you to think about others at that time." Jiang Yu couldn't help but be a little angry: "But have you ever thought about yourself?" If Princess Ting hadn't lived in the palace for a long time, and she was relatively simple and coaxing, she really took you as a hostage, what should you do? ”
"I'm your wife." Gan Peilin raised his chin slightly, and said firmly: "It is my honor to live and die with you." ”
These words are like overturning the five-flavor bottle, Jiang Yuxin, like a wave of the sea, and the waves are turbulent.
"Then why...... Want to take advantage of me? Jiang Yu looked at her with a complicated look in his eyes.
"For revenge." Gan Peilin still dares to say anything.
"Revenge?" Jiang Yu grabbed her slender neck: "Then what if I want revenge?" ”
"I will not resist." Gan Peilin looked at him: "What's more, there are many ways to take revenge, and it is definitely more valuable for me to live by your side than for me to die." ”
"But I'm not you." Jiang Yu sneered and suddenly let go of his hand: "You owe me, you can't pay it back." ”
