Chapter 170: Gains and Losses



The maid's expression was a little dazed: "This is the mother-in-law sent by the Cha family to guard the door, it should have been prepared by Miss Cha, right?" The mother-in-law who delivered the things said that she heard that the prince wanted to eat pancakes, and she was afraid that only one snack would be too simple, so she specially added two things to appetize the prince. ”

Zhu Jingshen listened to her words, and his expression was a little weird: "That girl from the Cha family...... Would you do such a thing? I thought she was so temperamental, when she heard that I wanted to eat pancakes, she would only think that I was causing trouble to others, and maybe she would secretly curse me for eating cakes and be choked."

When the maid heard this, she had something to say: "Lord Shizi, it's not that the slave is troublesome, and you are too nonsense." Obviously Mrs. Cha treats you so well, and you are willing to be close to her family in your heart, why do you want to make such an annoying appearance and force people to be alienated? You are spitting and asking for something that others don't have, or you are molesting the girl's daughter-in-law, and now the people outside don't know what to say about you, you are obviously not that kind of person, why bother to ruin your reputation? ”

Zhu Jingshen disagreed: "If I hadn't acted like this, how could those people in the palace be so relieved?" Maybe I'll be sick at some point" He casually lifted the lid of the food box, pinched a bun and broke it, and found that it was actually filled with roses, and the bun still had a slight heat, and his heart couldn't help but move.

He did say that he wanted to eat fresh rose paste to appetize, but he said that because he couldn't take it out and would be angry, he didn't expect the Cha family to send a similar substitute, and it was hot, it really didn't seem like what Zha Yue's careless girl would do...... Could it be that the degree of his nonsense is still too small? But he's tried all the methods he can think of, so he can't really tease Cha Yue, right? Mrs. Cha would hate him to death......

He was thinking nonsense here, but the maid poured hot tea and complained: "Even if you want to pretend to be nonsense and shame yourself, there is no need to offend the Cha family...... The princess's mother's family has long been ruined, in addition to the Cha family, how many relatives do you have to deal with? ”

Zhu Jingshen glanced at her: "What do you know?" General Cha is in charge of the army, and his family is mixed with me, a vassal prince, what is the benefit? Mrs. Cha is the most rotten and good person, and she can't bear to see me living alone in the palace, and from time to time she asks me for news, and no one in his family has a heart, and she doesn't know how to persuade me. If she hadn't alienated me by herself, his family would only have to suffer, if Zha Yue and their brothers and sisters weren't such careless and scheming characters, why should I bother with this? He didn't want to say much on the subject, but said to the maid: "What about the nurse?" She was out there just now, but had she ever seen who was delivering something? It can't really be sent by Cha Yue, right? "If it's her, then he'll have to think again......

The maid pouted and went out, and after a while, she brought in a woman wearing a blue satin long bime and a purple dress, who was the nurse of King Kang's son. The nurse had obviously heard Zhu Jingshen's question, so she replied: "I was just outside, and I saw a young lady handing over the food box to the mother-in-law of the Cha family, who was guarding the door, and it was not the young lady of the Cha family. When I entered the Zhuangzi, I noticed that it should be one of the young ladies invited by Miss Cha, as if his surname was Gu. She handed the food box to her mother-in-law outside the door, only saying that Miss Cha heard that the prince was going to eat pancakes, and she was worried that the things were too simple, so she added two snacks to appetize the prince. She walked away, not paying much attention to the situation in the courtyard. At that time, Wang Yongtai was preparing to enter the house, and even if she saw it, she would not see any clues. ”

Zhu Jingshen frowned, surnamed Gu? If it was the female guest invited by Cha Yue this time, he had investigated it in advance, there was only one surnamed Gu, and he was not a stranger, Gu Shilang's distant cousin niece, Miss Gu Jiu, who inadvertently rescued Du Yuanru, the daughter of the Marquis of Dongyang and the future crown princess, from the trap of the Zheng family when she was at the tea party in Luwangfu last time......

He tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly: "It turned out to be her?" That's not surprising, this seems to be a nosy and indiscriminate good person" lowered his head and took a bite of the bun, the rose filling was very sweet. He didn't really like the taste, but he was hungry for a long time, and he was injured, and he always had hot food in his stomach, which always made people feel happy.

He suddenly stopped the movement in his hand and raised his head suddenly: "That Miss Gu really didn't pay attention to the situation in the courtyard?" Did she say who she was? She said that she was sending something for Cha Yue, and the mother-in-law outside believed it? Did she ask anything else? ”

The nurse was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then shook her head and said: "I only saw her outside saying a few words to the mother-in-law guarding the door and leaving, and glanced at the courtyard before leaving, but did not stay long." I was ...... was paying attention to Wang Yongtai, and when he saw her leaving, he didn't pay much attention. Lord Shizi, but what's wrong? ”

Zhu Jingshen pondered for a moment and shook his head hesitantly. Maybe he was too careful, although last time in the garden of Luwangfu, he had personally heard this Miss Gu Jiu peeling off the cocoon at Du Yuan, revealing an imperceptible conspiracy little by little, which not only cleared the suspicion of the Gu family, but also took into account the position of the Gu family, and did not say that Zheng Lijun was the culprit after the death, leaving room for retention. Although the reason why she would do this is also a little selfish, but at her age, being able to do this is obviously a calm and cautious person, not an object that can be fooled at will.

The reason why he fell off the horse and made trouble unreasonably, and let Zha Yue go away was so that he could stay away from the sight of the Cha family, get a little breathing space, and meet with the few remaining cronies in the palace on the premise of ensuring that the Cha family was not suspected. He had already inquired and made sure that Cha Yue had gone to Houzhuang with all the guests, and the few members of the Cha family at the door were all wooden and had no scheming, so he was relieved to ask Wang Yongtai to come in. Can all this be hidden from that Miss Gu Jiu? Wang Yongtai...... In fact, it is not without flaws. He only had three or two days to prepare for his trip, and he could not arrange it thoroughly......

After slowly eating two steamed buns and drinking a few cups of hot tea, Zhu Jingshen began to feel warmth on his body, and his originally cold hands and feet were no longer stiff. He let out a long breath, and began to feel that he might just be overhearted, this time it was different from the time in Lu Wangfu, that time it was the people sent by Zheng Lijun who showed the stuffing first, so that Gu Jiu and Du Yuanru found the clue, today Gu Jiu just looked at it a few times, what can he see? No matter how smart she is, she is only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and she has grown up in the countryside for a long time, and no matter how shrewd she is, she is limited......

He still doesn't think too much, just looking for an opportunity to come out to meet his subordinates, and inquire about the income of a few secret industries, if it is for this little thing, he will have a heart to kill his mouth, and maybe he will cause more trouble. No matter how bad Gu Jiu's identity is, she is also the niece of the Shilang Mansion, and she happened to save the life of the daughter of the Du family......

Besides, even the Cha family, who had always been close to him, let him starve under his actions, Gu Jiu would send food over, and he was also kind-hearted, so why should he be harmed by such a rare indiscriminate person?

Zhu Jingshen's expression became more and more relaxed, and he looked up and called the maid: "Qiu Tan, when I return the food box later, I will thank the people of the Cha family, and then ask them for some fresh rabbit meat, which should be roasted tenderly, and a jar of good Jinhua wine without any fat chicken and duck. Isn't there any fresh vegetables and fruits grown in the hot springs on this village? Send them all."

As soon as Qiu Tan heard this, he knew that the little master was going to mess around again, and pouted and complained: "Miss Cha must be annoyed again, what do you have to make her angry?" ”

"What does the prince of Qiu Tan command, you just do it, how can there be so much verbosity?" The nurse scolded her daughter a few words, and then apologized to Zhu Jingshen, "Lord Shizi, I spoiled this girl......"

"It's okay" Zhu Jingshen waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "You and I are different, except for the two of you, who else is willing to say these things in front of me?" After that, he said to Qiu Tan again: "Wang Yongtai only came once today, and sent me the account book to see, the things are still there for him, if I don't mess around, Zha Yue is angry, maybe he thinks of me again, thinking of his childhood feelings, and he will come back again to ask about me." Besides, that Miss Gu is nosy again, who knows when she will send things again? In order to avoid trouble, let's be more vigilant."

The nurse responded solemnly, glared at her daughter again, Qiu Tan sneered, and sent the bottle of medicine to the Li family with a twist: "Lord Shizi, can you wipe some more?" You've just gotten rid of the medicine......"

Zhu Jingshen knew that she meant to make amends, smiled warmly, and gently pushed the medicine bottle away: "No need, I'd rather this injury heal slowly, and when I go back, the emperor and queen asked, and I also have a reason to excuse myself for staying in the Zha family Zhuangzi." Don't worry, I'm the one who messes around, and I'm the one who causes trouble, Cha Yue will be the first to be beaten at most, and he won't suffer a big loss. With such a careless temperament, it's good to take a lesson, and it is always not long-sighted......"

Wen Yi waited in the side courtyard when Zha Yue and the others came back, and heard King Kang's request again, this request was actually not too much, all of them were guests, they could eat such dishes, but Zha Yue was angry again: "He is injured, what kind of Jinhua wine to eat?" If you don't learn well at a young age, do you really think you're iron? He was obviously deliberate, thinking that he would delay the injury for a long time, so that I could be trained by my mother after returning to the city, and I would be trained by the queen's mother, and he didn't think that "she was almost like thunder, and under the persuasion of everyone, she just put out the fire a little, and only let people send roast rabbit meat and lamb hot pot and a few vegetables, but she still kept complaining."

Ruan Mengxuan looked funny, so she said to her: "Although you are angry, you should give you a lot of things." In fact, you are soft-hearted, we look at it coldly, but we think that you and him seem to be enemies in the previous life."

Zha Yue glared: "Which one is the enemy with him?" I wish I had never known him," but turning around, he asked Zhuang Tou if there were any other doctors nearby, and if he had good medical skills, he could ask for a consultation. Wen Yi and the others were all funny.

However, the girl who Cha Yue sent to guide the way quietly found Wen Yi before dinner, and said to her with a little complaint: "Did Miss Gu send a snack to the main courtyard?" They sent someone to thank them, but they added a lot of requirements, otherwise the young lady wouldn't be angry. Now the young lady instructed the girl's daughter-in-law to send something over, but no one was willing to take the errand, and it ended up on the slave. ”

Wen Yi was also a little dissatisfied with her before, and asked lightly, "What's this?" But what's so difficult about sending it to the gate of the yard? ”

The girl bit her lower lip: "Miss Gu doesn't know, that prince ...... I love to use my hands and feet, don't look at his young age, his hands and feet are very unruly."

How could such a thing happen? Wen Yi hurriedly asked: "Then when you went to deliver something, did he ......?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and twisted a little: "That's not ......" She only sent it to the door, and she didn't even see the face of the son.

Wen Yi frowned: "He used to do something to you before?" ”

The girl lowered her head: "No...... But everybody says ......"

Wen Yi held back her anger and didn't say anything in her mouth, but she was very unhappy in her heart: Since people didn't do it, what are you complaining about?

She still remembered the young man she met in Lu Wang's Mansion, he hadn't changed his voice yet, he was just a child. He lost his parents at a young age and was raised in the palace, and even the Cha family, who was originally a relative, didn't take him seriously. Even if he messed around, there was no reason for him to bear this, right? I think at the beginning, when did Zhu Jingcheng, the son of the king of Dongping, receive such treatment? Zha Yue and Prince Kang have known each other since childhood, and they are the identity of the general's daughter, she still has some capital to take Qiao, and the girl next to her, what qualifications does she have to despise a clan boy?

Wen Yi herself is an orphan girl, fatherless and motherless, and has been despised and bullied since she was a child, so she can't see orphans being neglected. The impression of King Kang Shizi in her mind was still on the thin young man who was glimpsed by Lu Wangfu, that is, she knew that he loved to mess around, and she also felt that it was just a child's willfulness and harmlessness, so when she saw this girl acting like this, she decided that it was the maid of the Cha family who relied on the connivance of the master's family to snub the guests. She is not a member of the Cha family, and she doesn't want to discipline the servants for others, so she just said a few words lightly and sent the people away, but she had a faint thought in her heart, she didn't want to have a deep relationship with Cha Yue.

Although Zha Yue is a cool character, some of the things she does can cover up the past without the word cool......

After dinner, in order to avoid King Kang's son, all the girls gathered in the courtyard of Houzhuang, and even the place where they spent the night was transferred here. The Ruan sisters took Long Ling and Li Chunxi to the hot springs, and Wen Yi took advantage of the fact that there was no one in Houzhuang and walked slowly. Tomallow waited beside her, and for some reason, was exceptionally silent.

After walking for a while, Wen Yi saw that there was no one around, and couldn't help but ask her: "But is it because I heard that King Kang's son is also on Zhuangzi?" ”

Dong Que was startled, then blushed and lowered his head: "Slave maid...... It's just a little homesick......"

Wen Yi sighed secretly, knowing that Dong Kui's heart knot was difficult to solve, so he said: "The prince only rests in the main courtyard in front, you stay in the house, don't go to see him." The past is over, you have to think more about your family. ”

Dong Que was silent, and only choked up after a while: "The slave understands ......"

Wen Yi didn't feel good in her heart, however, when the old owner of Dong Ngallow suffered a disaster four years ago, how old was King Kang's son? He is not in charge of the matter, but the Dong Que family is also innocent, and it is really unclear who is right and who is wrong......

A gust of cold wind came, and Wen Yi shivered: "It's windy, let's go back first." Dong Que hesitated a little: "Slave maid...... I want to stay outside for a while......" Wen Yi looked at her red and swollen eyes, sighed secretly, and nodded: "Don't stay too late, although there is no one here, after all, it is someone else's house." Then he turned and walked towards the lantern not far away.

Entering the door, she turned to the direction of the small courtyard where she was temporarily staying, but suddenly found that there was a black shadow flashing in front of her, she was startled, and was about to exclaim, but she heard a familiar voice: "It's me" She was immediately stunned.

(Late, cough...... )
