Chapter 23: The Heart
Mingzhu waited impatiently, so he simply grabbed the half-scissors hand and pressed a bright red fingerprint on the deed, and with satisfaction put the deed to his lips and blew it, and handed it to Fu Mingzheng before the half-scissors came to snatch it: "The fourth brother is annoyed to send it to the government for me for the record." "As long as the case is filed in the government, the half-cut is a proper slave of the Prime Minister's house, and no one can take it away. Eight years later, no matter whether she succeeds or fails, she will be half-cut free.
Banjian also wanted to snatch the deed in Fu Mingzheng's hand, but Fu Mingzheng glanced at it suspiciously, and immediately retracted in fright, glared at Mingzhu resentfully, and entered the house with his hands in droop. The Jade Emperor said with a complicated expression: "The child is not sensible, wait for the poor Dao to talk to him." Then he went in and closed the door.
Mingzhu smiled at Fu Mingzheng flatteringly: "Is the fourth brother tired?" Don't you want to rest? ”
Fu Mingzheng carefully tucked the half-cut body deed into his sleeve, and glanced at Zhu Changsheng, who was standing aside and smiling silently: "This person said that he had to meet you for something important, do you know him?" ”
Zhu Changsheng immediately stepped forward and saluted, smiling very happily: "Zhu Changsheng, the little steward of the British Prince's Mansion, has seen the girl. ”
Mingzhu had seen Zhu Changsheng a long time ago, and he kept ignoring it because he was angry in his heart. Now I can't avoid it, so I have to lazily say, "What are you doing?" ”
Zhu Changsheng took out a golden rosewood worship box and handed it over respectfully: "Our Royal Highness asked the little one to send this to the girl for a look." ”
Debt Collector! Mingzhu didn't want to take it, so he swept over with a look, signaled Su Lan not to take it either, and said idly with a shelf: "No merit, what is it?" ”
Zhu Changsheng said with a smile: "It's something that the girl said to our Highness the night before yesterday." ”
What the night before yesterday? Is it clear that yesterday morning was good? As if she and Yu Wenchu were ambiguous, the corners of Mingzhu's eyes suddenly jumped uncontrollably, and she quietly looked at Fu Mingzheng, and sure enough, she saw Fu Mingzheng looking at her gloomily, so she had to bite the bullet and say: "Isn't it just a debt collection list, you are a big manager, and you can't even speak clearly, so your Royal Highness can put up with you for so long." ”
With her chin raised, Su Lan stepped forward to take the box, took out the neatly folded gold-sprinkled letterhead and handed it over. On the letterhead, there were many names, such as the wooden barrels for extinguishing the fire, the cost of water, the cost of tea, the money for food, the money for damaged clothes, shoes and socks, and the money for wood, tung oil, and labor to repair the corridor, and it really tripled, and she could afford to pay for it. After reading a page and a page, Mingzhu couldn't help but turn it over again, thinking that he wanted to see what tricks this shameless and cautious king could play, but he saw a plain note below, with the book "Seiko inlaid pearl silver lotus satin shoes, a pot of nectar on the top, waiting for the guests", so his heart suddenly rushed up, squinting his eyes and looking at Zhu Changsheng.
Zhu Changsheng smiled brightly, and his tone and expression were all humble: "Although the girl told my Royal Highness before, the girl is young after all, so she didn't pay attention to these trivial matters." It just so happens that the old lady and the fourth master are in the house, and if the girl has any doubts, she can discuss with her mother and brother first, check that it is correct, and then let someone send the things over. "Leave with a salute.
Mingzhu couldn't bear to look through the list, but saw that the total price was indicated at the end of the first page, but the second page did not indicate how much money she wanted her to redeem the shoe, so she called Zhu Changsheng: "Why is the price not written on the second page?" ”
Zhu Changsheng said with a smile: "Our Royal Highness said that this is a priceless treasure, don't ask the girl for money, and give it directly to Mrs. Fu Xiang later, which is a little bit of our Royal Highness's heart." ”
This is a naked threat! A layer of black and gray suddenly appeared on Mingzhu's face, and she was about to say that she was not afraid at all, and she happened to be a thief, Zhu Changsheng had already gone far, and was about to turn the corner, and turned his head and smiled at Mingzhu meaningfully.
Fu Mingzheng stretched out his hand to ask Mingzhu for a list, and his tone was cold: "It seems that you have really lived happily in the mountains these days, met a lot of people, and caused a lot of trouble." ”
Accidentally burned the corridor in the middle of the night, which was not a big deal, and even if it came out, it would be scolded at most and grounded for a while. But Mingzhu just didn't want her family to know, otherwise she would inevitably lead to the blueprint of the bed crossbow, and she couldn't explain so much to her family. He crumpled the list into a ball and stuffed it into his arms, and opened his eyes wide as an innocent expression: "I came across it occasionally." Fourth brother, thanks to the King of England for breaking the siege yesterday, should we go and thank him? ”
Fu Mingzheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Compared with Yuwenchu and Yuwenyou, it is indeed much more reliable. However, I remember that he already had a marriage contract, and it was the second daughter of the Marquis of Changxing, and this family affair was given by the Empress Dowager herself. ”
Mingzhu heard his voice, and he thought that the reason why she suddenly abandoned Yu Wenyou was because she liked the new and hated the old and suddenly fell in love with Yu Wenchu again. Even her own brother thinks so, but you can imagine what other people think, no wonder Half Shear will be mistaken for her "adulterer". This realization made Mingzhu very powerless, and said with a wry smile: "I understand what you mean, but I can't stop liking Yu Wenyou without taking a fancy to other people?" ”
Fu Mingzheng glanced at her with a kind of "you just pretend" look, and said: "Of course you can, but you have always regarded Yu Wenyou as a treasure in the past few years, and you have been desperately liking it, and suddenly you changed your mind, and few people will really believe that you really don't like him anymore." ”
That's really ruthless. Mingzhu suddenly felt that her head was bigger, and she showed her face to Fu Mingzheng with some irritability: "Whatever you think, I won't be with Yu Wenyou anymore anyway." ”
Fu Mingzheng said slowly: "You are the pearl of our family, you have always been favored, this family affair has never been approved by the elders, and it is nothing to regret the marriage." But I want to remind you that the situation between the DPRK and China has not been very good recently, and it is probably possible, of course, that this is the worst-case scenario, and if it really comes to that point, my father will not be able to be the master. ”
"What do you mean?" Mingzhu was stunned for a moment. Isn't her father a traitor? There are also times when you can't call the shots and have to give in? So why did she work so hard to make this scene? It's better to marry quietly, and see a suitable opportunity to kill Yu Wenyou quietly, and be more comfortable as a widow.
Fu Mingzheng saw that she was stupid, and sighed softly: "You must know that things in this world have always been one thing and the other, and there is no one-sided reason. Now it is very beautiful to look at our home, but every step is like walking on thin ice, and there are many enemies hiding in the shadows, they are staring at us all the time, as long as we have a little handle for them to grasp, they can set off a storm and waves. If you want to get a balance, you always have to give in to each other and make a little sacrifice at the right time. You did a good job yesterday, just to make Yuwenyou take care of the loss, so you can stand, but then, if you make something out of place, it will be inappropriate. Do you understand? ”
