Chapter 218: Tomallow Speaks
Zhu Jingshen looked at the girl ring in front of him who was standing with his head bowed and his hands tied, and suddenly felt a little difficult to speak.
He didn't seem to know what he was thinking, and why he cared so much about Gu Wenyi, originally thought that it was because the other party had helped him again and again, and he had never treated him lightly, so he was kind and followed the previous attitude towards the Cha family, alienated the other party, provoked the other party, and saved the other party from being affected by him, but as a result, the other party still helped him without giving up. And this time, because the other party persuaded the newly canonized crown princess, his situation in the palace was unconsciously much better, at least, those palace people finally knew that even if he couldn't attack the prince in his life, he was also a child of the close branch clan, and the royal family was noble......
No one dares to deduct his use anymore, no one dares to stumble on him behind his back, the queen mother and the queen treat him more and more kindly, the prince is not as contemptuous to him as before, and several little princes and princesses no longer mock and bully him in person, and all this is because of the words of the fair and tolerant princess Shen, and the reason why she did this was because of Gu Wenyi's persuasion......
The Shen family now has an excellent reputation in the palace, and the upbringing of the Shen family of Dongyang Marquis has been repeatedly praised by the queen mother, emperor and empress, and no one in the palace does not praise her for her kindness, so Zhu Jingshen is grateful, but also a little suspicious, suspecting that the Shen family treated him well for her own good name, and she also got the good reputation she wanted. At the same time, Gu Wenyi, who spoke at the beginning, didn't get anything. She has only had a few encounters with him, and even if she doesn't have a friendship at all, she still helps him again and again
Zhu Jingshen felt that his heart was very proper, except for the two cronies around him, no one had been so good to him for a long time, he began to want to understand Gu Wenyi as a person, and inquire about her and the people around her, although because he didn't want people to find out about this and cause trouble to the other party, so everything was done in secret, but this did not prevent him from satisfying his little wishes. As a result, he heard the news of Liu Gu's marriage and sisters' easy marriage.
For Zhu Jingshen, it has nothing to do with him which daughter of the Gu family Liu Shangshu's son wants to marry, but he unexpectedly heard the news that before the newcomer is married, he will first make a small decision for the other couple, and one of them is Gu Wenyi, who he misses
It was as if a sudden thunderbolt struck him on the head, and in that instant, he understood everything
Actually, Gu Wenyi is only one year older than him, isn't she? She was born in the Pingyang Wang family, her grandfather was a high-ranking official, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the second rank, and she was also the niece of the courtier. Anyway, he will always be arranged with a wife in the next two or three years, so why not choose Gu Wenyi, who is kind to him and has no contempt for him? Although he had already accepted his fate and was willing to accept the partner candidates arranged for him in the palace, they were going to live a lifetime, and the prince had already taken him in, so he had a little request, which was not an extravagant hope, right?
The only thing to worry about is that Gu Wenyi is about to get married.
Zhu Jingshen didn't know the ins and outs of this family affair, he only felt that Wen Yi's marriage partner was also a child of the Liu family, and it was rumored that this person was the eldest of the Liu family, but because of the death of his parents, he was suppressed by his uncle for many years. He began to suspect that this was just Liu Shangshu who hastily arranged the marriage of his eldest nephew in order to let his son get married as soon as possible. Gu Wenyi is just a niece in the next room in the Gu family, and there are only grandmothers and younger brothers in the family, so naturally she is only obedient, isn't it?
It's a pity that there is not enough time, Gu Wenyi's marriage date is on the first day of the first month of March, less than three days away, he is not sure that he will persuade the prince to give marriage before this, and he is afraid that acting too quickly will lead to adverse consequences, the only feasible thing is to find a way to contact Gu Wenyi and persuade her to resign from the ceremony. Perhaps, faking illness is a good idea?
A martial artist whose parents are dead, who is not valued by her uncle and aunt, and who has no merit on her body, which one is more suitable for her than a prince who is valued by the prince and has a bright future? Not to mention that the two met early. Zhu Jingshen felt that Gu Wenyi was a smart person, and he should know who he should choose. Maybe she will be willing to cooperate with him and fight for a better marriage?
It's a pity that he has no friendship with Gu Shilang Xiang, and he has never been able to find an opportunity to contact Gu Wenyi, and finally saw a carriage coming out of the side door of Shilang's mansion, but it was Gu Wenyi's family who was driving...... He acted on the spot.
But what he didn't expect was that he found the right person, but he was also a little embarrassed, because the other party was the maid who had been teased by Gu Wenyi...... It's not that he's too careful, this girl shouldn't hold a grudge against him and deliberately refuse to help, right?
Dong Lai waited for a long time, but he didn't see him speak, so he quietly raised his eyes and glanced at it, seeing that his expression was hesitant, and he stopped talking, he sneered in his heart.
She is currently in a remote alley, and Zhao and his wife are waiting outside the alley in a carriage, but there are entourage of King Kang Shizi blocking the way. She still remembers that when she rushed out of the pharmacy last time, she saw one of them waiting by the carriage of King Kang. Looking at their dress, it must not be from the palace, that is the manpower of King Kang's Mansion? She was originally the maid of a military general's family, although she was not proficient in martial arts, she also had some vision, and she could see that the other party had a few good hands, and it was impossible for her group of three to break through.
After thinking about it, she showed a little displeasure and asked coldly, "Lord Shizi...... What do you command? The slave maid still has to do something for the young lady."
Zhu Jingshen finally made up his mind: "I heard...... You young lady...... How many days are you going to get married? ”
Dong Kui's heart sank, but his face did not show: "Yes, it is the first day of the third month." ”
Zhu Jingshen coughed lightly: "That person...... I mean, the one that the Gu family arranged for her to marry...... It's not promising, you miss...... You probably have some ideas, right? ”
Dong Que began to tense the muscles in his body, and looked up at him, his eyes flashed, as if he was a little sad: "How could the prince know?" Our young lady ......" she sighed and lowered her head again.
Zhu Jingshen was overjoyed in his heart, and took a step forward, almost unable to suppress the excitement in his tone: "Don't worry, I have a way for you to go back and tell your young lady, the weather is bad now, and it is common for you to accidentally get infected with the wind cold." If she is sick, the marriage will naturally be postponed, and as for the rest of the matter, I will handle it, so that she doesn't have to worry"
Dong Lyhock could barely hide the horror on his face: "You? What are you...... What do you mean? ”
Zhu Jingshen smiled and sighed: "I have a good idea, the Hengzhi Palace is going to arrange a marriage for me, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that it is up to me, I marry an acquaintance, it is better than other people I don't know, isn't it?" Your young lady is just right, she has suffered a lot of anger in the clan, right? Don't worry, with me, those people won't dare to bully her anymore in the future, and she wants to take care of her family, no problem."
Dong Que glared at him for a long time, but he didn't say a word.
Zhu Jingshen knew that she was shocked by this incident, so he smiled and comforted: "You just need to go back and tell your young lady what I said, and what to do after that depends on your young lady's intentions." You don't have to do anything, I'll send someone to inquire about the news, and if the family affair can't be decided on the first day of the third month, I'll take care of the rest. "If you send the letter again, you are afraid that someone will find out, which will damage Gu Wenyi's reputation.
Hollyho stared at him with faint eyes, but still did not speak.
Zhu Jingshen felt a little strange in his heart, but he quickly remembered one thing, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you act according to what I say, this world will never treat you badly in the future, whatever you want, no problem, if you want, I can also arrange a good family affair for you, and the guarantee is decent and rich" In the hands of the people he brought out of the palace, there are indeed many people who have not married, they are not domestic slaves, this girl can climb such a good family, it is really the ancestor who burned high incense
Dong Aoi lowered her eyes, and she couldn't see what emotions were in her eyes, so she could only hear her whispering: "The slave can pass the word for you, but there is no guarantee that the young lady will agree." Our Miss...... I've always had an idea, but I'm afraid that when I hear this, I won't know if I'm annoyed. If...... If Miss doesn't want to, you won't ......"
"Of course not" Zhu Jingshen paused, and said with some difficulty, "If it is...... If she doesn't want this family business, she doesn't want to marry me...... It's okay to tell me later...... I just want to help her, not force her to ......" He was silent for a moment before continuing, "How could I be angry with her......"
Dong Lyhock bowed his head and curtsied: "The slave knows." ”
Zhu Jingshen reappeared with joy: "Have you remembered everything?" Be sure to tell you as soon as possible."
Dong Que nodded obediently: "Don't worry, the slave knows what to do." ”
Zhu Jingshen left with relief and happiness. Today is the happiest day in the nearly five years since he entered Beijing, even with the simple action of turning over and getting on the horse, he feels that his body is a little lighter than before.
Tomallow watched his back go away before returning to the carriage. Zhao asked her anxiously: "Miss Xu, where is that nobleman?" How did he know our young lady? ”
Dong Que smiled slightly: "Where does he recognize our young lady?" No, it's not false to say that he recognizes, but he doesn't have any good intentions. Brother Zhao and Aunt Zhao, you have lived in Beijing for a longer time, and you must have heard the rumors that those sons and daughters in high-ranking families like to coax the daughters of good families with bad intentions, right? That person is such a person, when Miss took me out, I met him once, and at that time, Miss Lin said that he was not a good person, and asked our young lady to beware, don't let him take a fancy to him. Miss answered at the time, but she never thought that this kind of thing would really happen, but she didn't expect him to set his sights on us today."
Zhao Da turned his head suddenly, and everyone in Zhao was taken aback: "Indeed...... I have heard of this kind of thing, when I was still on an errand in the house of a thousand adults, there was a girl who had a good relationship with his young lady, the family was a restaurant, some family backgrounds, people were very good-looking, they were taken care of, coaxed, and the family did not know anything, until she gave birth to a ...... later"
"Shut up," Zhao Da shouted to his wife, "Can you tell the girls?" ”
Zhao everyone's immediate regret, smiled curtly, and said to Dong Aoi again: "This is not a trivial matter, the children of those powerful families, specifically staring at those good-looking girls in the small family, recognized that people dare not make a big fuss, in the end, the girl was ruined by him, either died, or became a sister-in-law, since such a person is eyeing our young lady, we must be careful."
Dong Que smiled: "Do you still need to remind your sister-in-law about this?" Just now I saw that he stopped us, and I was afraid that if I refused, I would annoy him, so I pretended to promise to help him pass the word. But how can such a thing get into the ears of the young lady? Brother Zhao and sister-in-law Zhao, after you go back, you will act as if this incident has never happened, who will ask, can't you say a word? ”
Zhao Da agreed happily: "Don't worry, even if the king of heaven comes to ask, I won't say it" Zhao Da also said: "This is the right reason." Dong Que curled the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's not early, it's been delayed for so long, let's go to Lin's house quickly."
The errand to Lin's house went very smoothly, and not long after, Dong Kui and his party returned to Shilang's mansion, replied to Wen Yi, and then sent Lin Mei'er a return gift. Wen Yi rewarded the money, added two more pieces of material, and made new clothes for Zhao Da's family, so she asked Zhao and the family to retreat, and called Dong Kui, and asked Lin Mei'er about her reaction.
Dong Que answered them one by one, and finally said hesitantly, "The slave is on the road today...... I met the prince of King Kang, and I met it in the small pharmacy in Shannan Town......"
Wen Yi's hand trembled, and she almost dropped the teacup, but she finally calmed down, put down the teacup, and asked lightly, "How can it be so coincidental?" I remember that he seemed to live in the palace. ”
"The prince...... It seems that he is waiting for the slave maid all the way......" Dong Kui quietly glanced at Wen Yi, "He said that he had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time before he saw one of our carriages come out ......"
Wen Yi frowned: "You mean...... Did he stop you from talking? "It's really strange, what is King Kang going to do?
Dong Que said timidly: "He asked some about the ladies in the house...... But how can the young ladies tell him about a foreign man? When the slave and maid refused to speak, he became angry and said that he would teach the slave and maid a lesson......
Wen Yi was shocked and couldn't help but guess: Maybe he was trying to inquire about Wen Hui's situation? Thinking of this, she pursed her lips, and her mind couldn't help but remember that night in her previous life again...... The tone was naturally a little worse: "You did the right thing, no matter how noble his identity is, there is no reason to ask about other people's girls, don't be afraid of him, you are my girl, why should he teach you?" ”
"But......" Tomallow seemed worried, "and he said that I was disobedient, and that he would sue the young lady about me, such as if I had deliberately seduced him, or deliberately intercepted important messages from him to the young lady......
Wen Yi sneered, and then gently reassured: "He doesn't recognize you, so he would say such ridiculous things." Don't worry, what is the relationship between our master and servant? How could he have provoked it with a few words? I know it in my heart" and then said hatefully: "I should have known that he was not a good person, and if I met him again in the future, I didn't think I would have a good face."
Dong Ngai responded with a smile, and said, "Miss, let's leave those people who are unhappy." You're going to get married, you can't wear old clothes, right? The slave maid made a new one for you, and only half of it was done, but I was worried that you didn't like the color, so why don't you palm your eyes first? ”
Wen Yi blushed and responded, Dong Kui turned around and went into the inner room to get his clothes, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.
She is such a kind and kind-hearted young lady, how can she cheapen an enemy who is unscrupulous and ruthless
