Zhu Chengqian's footsteps had already turned to the door, and when he heard this, he stopped suddenly, turned around and followed his wife back to the room, and closed the door, they had something to say as a husband and wife.

At this time, Zhu Rong was in the study of Shangshu Mansion, looking at the pond in the garden by the window.

In the summer near the water, there are the most mosquitoes, but the rich and noble family has its own people to take care of it, and it will never let the masters be bitten by mosquitoes when enjoying the scenery.

He and Kaijiang are both pampered children, but it is the fathers who support this family business, but I don't know if they will be able to come out of the blue in the future.

Kaijiang came in from outside the door, and the maids who followed set down the meal, passed on the words of the lady, and asked the prince not to be polite, so they all withdrew.

Zhu Rong sat at the table, but he didn't have much appetite, one was worried about the help from afar, and then something like that happened at home, in the morning he and Kaijiang also questioned Aunt Liu, who wanted to just because of that sentence, Aunt Liu was almost tortured to death.

"You're not going back tonight?" Kaijiang deliberately made a gloating appearance, wanting to make Zhu Rong happy, "It's rare that you have such a day, make do with me, although our family is not as rich and prominent as you, there are still two big houses." ”

Zhu Rong said: "Even if it is for the sake of my grandmother's peace of mind, I have to go back, I have no quarrel with him and I am not angry, why don't I go back?" ”

Kaijiang sighed: "Your father has become 'him' in your mouth, did you ever think that one day, you would be separated from your father like this?" ”

Zhu Rong picked up the chopsticks and said, "Don't worry, I can make my father happy." ”

Kaijiang shook his head and said: "Although my father and I are not as intimate as your father and son, my father doesn't care much about me, he has never scolded and beaten when he should have been scolded, but our father and son don't have this concern, who coaxes anyone to be happy, they won't at all." When I was a child, I envied you for being pampered, and now I realize that I live more freely than you, and my father and I are more like father and son, and I never worry that he doesn't want me, and he doesn't think I'll hate him. ”

Zhu Rong said lightly: "You just found out? ”

Kaijiang looked at him with a pitiful expression: "Could it be that you have already found out?" ”

Zhu Rong bowed: "How can I not know? Even Fuyi didn't take long to see it when he came home, and you only understand now? ”

Kaijiang was unconvinced: "How can I be so smart as a girl from someone else's family." ”

Zhu Rong was very distressed: "Just because she, like me, had a hard time in Kizhou, and she came to this house and unconsciously pleased everyone, Yunzhi was very annoying to her at first, and let the dog bite her." ”

"This sister of yours is really powerful, I don't know which aunt will be able to subdue her in the future, if my mother-in-law wants to make some rules, she won't tear down the roof?" By the way, I heard that she is going to make a small for the fourth prince? ”

"Nothing." Zhu Rong said, "The concubine has always served people with sex, but now that she is old and decrepit, she can't keep the emperor's heart, so she goes to the doctor in a hurry, and everyone calculates." And my second uncle and aunt can't climb the queen's family, and they are what they grasp, thinking that the Min family has the ability to compete with the queen and the crown prince. ”

As they spoke, the people from the Zhu Chengqian faction also arrived, gave gifts to Mu Shangshu and his wife, and then asked someone to pass on the master's words, and waited outside the door.

Kaijiang smiled: "I'm afraid that you won't go back, so I'll come directly to pick it up, you can eat it quickly, my mother specially added the dish for you." ”

Zhu Rong said: "So I can't live up to my aunt's wishes, so many dishes, you and I taste them slowly, if I rush back for Aunt Liu, I'm afraid that my father will be even more suspicious, and there will be no silver three hundred taels here." ”

Kaijiang sighed: "Good father and son, you are calculating and calculating all day long, you are not tired. ”

Zhu Rong was indifferent: "I am grateful to him, I don't hate him, it's not so much hard work and exhaustion, it's better to live more freely, you can't understand this, but you understand me." ”

Kaijiang said indignantly: "You are very good yourself by training me like that during the day, do you know how many times you have mentioned it on this day?" ”

And at this moment, after walking for two days, she has long been away from the help of the capital, and the accompanying Zhu family settled in the inn, and the citron waited for her to wash up briefly, and the accompanying mothers came to knock on the door.

Citron opened the door and asked, "You two haven't rested yet." ”

They entered the door and put down a pack of pills, and said: "Tomorrow when we change the waterway, we are afraid that the girls will get seasick, we will go to the medicinal herb shop on the street to buy it, get up tomorrow morning and take two pills, and take two more pills before getting on the boat, so that the boat can be more comfortable." ”

After thanking them, Citron and them were already acquainted, and said with a smile: "Moms are too bothered to let our young lady go." ”

One of them smiled and said: "We are taking care of the future young lady, and we are afraid that we will not be dedicated enough, so don't be polite to us, the girl must not be polite to us, it is too late for us to rejoice." ”

Fuyi knew that she and Zhu Rong were seen that day, although her mother was kind and kind, but she was also shy, and she didn't know how to explain it for a while, or the citron was clever, and went out with them with a smile.

Fu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, put away the pill, and couldn't help but remember that on the Beijing Road, if it weren't for the fact that Citron and the servants at home who came with her couldn't get up, she wouldn't have easily walked out of the cabin, and she wouldn't have met Zhu Rong.

Thinking about it at this moment, if there is no meeting in the sea and the sky, and then meet Zhu Rong again, can there still be this relationship?

She sighed softly, because she saw that the citron went out and didn't come back, so she came to the door to look, and just happened to see the shopkeeper leading the guests upstairs and meeting the strange man.

The four eyes met, and the man hurriedly avoided his gaze, but Fuyi couldn't help but look at it a few more times, it was clear that she had never met someone before, why did she have a sense of déjà vu.

Citron came back from her mother's room, smiled all the way and said, "Miss, it turns out that not everyone will come on the boat with us tomorrow, Lao Zhangye and their carload will go back to the capital first, and the Zhujia family will send someone else to meet us over there." ”

Fuyi's gaze crossed over the citron's shoulder, and obviously saw that when he heard the word "Zhu Jia", the man looked back at this side, but she didn't dare to guess, nor did she dare to cause trouble, so she pulled the citron and entered the door.

Citron couldn't help asking, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Fu Yi said: "I can't say it either, I'll tell you when I think of something." ”

As the night deepened, Zhu Rong returned home, because his father sent someone to pick him up, he must have to go to Xinghua Hall to ask for peace no matter how late he was.

Zhu Chengqian was still busy with official business in the study at the moment, and when he saw his son come back well, he was happy at first, but he was very unwilling to think that he deceived himself for the sake of words.

After Zhu Rong saluted, he stood without speaking, the father and son were stalemate for a moment, Zhu Chengqian put down his pen and said angrily: "Pretend to be a wooden man with me, what do you mean by standing and not talking?" ”

"My son did something wrong, and I know in my heart that you are not angry, so I don't dare to talk more." Zhu Rong lowered his head and said, "Please calm my anger." ”

Zhu Chengqian sneered: "Do you still know that it's wrong?" I mentioned the daughter of the Yan family to you several times, and you pretended to be stupid, this is the good son I taught? ”

On weekdays, Zhu Rong must have knelt down early, but this matter is about support, and he is unwilling to bend his knees.

Zhu Chengqian saw his son's momentum, and he also understood in his heart that his son's heart was completely taken away by that supportive intention.

"It's my son's fault for deceiving you, but my son was born for the first time, and he didn't know how to face it, so he didn't mean to deceive." Zhu Rong said, "Daddy wants to leave a helping mind for me to be small, at this moment you should understand that your son must be reluctant in his heart." But at that moment, did you fight with you with a red face and a thick neck, did you speak against your will when you were full of planning for your son's future? ”

Zhu Chengqian said coldly: "You forgot my words, between our father and son, there is nothing unspeakable, if you discussed with me early, why wait for others to tell me?" ”

Zhu Rong replied unhurriedly: "It is precisely because of my father's twenty years of teaching that my son has learned how to settle down in this world, and he can't study when he is young. Your son shouldn't have deceived you about this, but the reason why he kept it from you was because his son was ignorant and didn't know what to do. But if my father listens to other people's rumors and thinks that his son has different intentions, I don't accept it! ”

Zhu Chengqian saw that his son had hesitation and grievances in his eyes, and his heart softened for a while, and when he heard him dissatisfied, he hurriedly said: "Bastard, who am I going to listen to, the matter between our father and son, do you want others to talk more?" ”

Zhu Rong bowed his head and didn't speak, Zhu Chengqian bypassed the desk and said: "The young man is strong-blooded, and the daughter of the Yan family is as beautiful as a flower, and you have a heart." But now that she's gone, don't bother to miss it anymore and forget about it early. She is a daughter of the academy, how can she be worthy of you, the duchesses of the Zhu family in the past generations, she has never been a commoner, it is not that her father beat the mandarin ducks ruthlessly, the hardships that I and your mother have endured back then, I don't want you to experience it again. ”

Zhu Rong said: "The child will think calmly, but you want your son to swear to answer at this moment, and your son can't do it." ”

Zhu Chengqian patted him on the shoulder: "If you can't see it for a few days, you naturally don't want to, but fortunately, there is nothing ridiculous, and let that child marry innocently." ”
