Chapter 1: Betrayal
"Before the minister came to Beijing, the Zhu family couldn't even recognize the big characters, and Cheng Ri only knew that she was holding her knitted things, but an ordinary woman, how could she compare with the county lord?"
Zhu Xingchun was carrying a bamboo basket full of silk threads, and after walking a few steps, he bumped into a woman holding the moon with stars.
She delicately lifted the hem of her embroidered skirt with water lotus, stepped over the threshold of the silk shop, and hid around the corner.
The mother-in-law of the Wang family in the third household of Dongkou Alley said that such a big man who wears gold and silver, even the most ordinary hairpin on his head, is enough to cover her life memory for more than half a month, but she must not afford to offend.
It's just that today, the mood of the big man seems to be exceptionally good, the woman's laughter is coquettish, and even the peach blossom in the center of the eyebrows is quite spiritual, and from a distance, it looks like it is about to bloom in the spring algae of the March warbler.
It's noisy.
Zhu Xingchun took his eyes off her, and after removing the ridicule in his eyes, he stared at the man in a purple brocade robe and a fish in the water around his waist.
If the voice is just a coincidence, this face is also very familiar.
She is like her fiancé, who is the top student in high school in the Golden Luan Palace.
The apprentice who followed behind him turned pale: "Master Zhu, the person Pei Gongzi said is not you?" ”
Zhu Xingchun rubbed his eyebrows.
She didn't say anything, but the apprentice understood it and immediately became angry: "Master, you have worked hard to sell embroidery for him to study, but this white-eyed wolf turned his head and climbed a high branch to belittle you. ”
The apprentice took a breath, and through a layer of tears, he seemed to be angry: "If this happens in my village, it will be light to pick up bamboo sticks and be beaten!" ”
That's right, even the little girl who just turned nine years old can see the clues, is Pei Yanche crazy?
For a moment, Zhu Xingchun was even thinking, could it be that the favor of the county lord of Duancheng was very important to Pei Yanche, who had studied in the cold window for more than ten years?
It is important to be able to let go of his wisdom and gentleness, humility and etiquette, put aside the affection of his childhood sweetheart, and ignore the responsibility of talking about marriage, just to step on the ladder to the sky.
Zhu Xingchun smiled: "If it's really him, why do you need to fight it yourself?" ”
She's not a soft persimmon.
After Zhu Xingchun muttered a few words in the apprentice's ear, he went around from the backyard to the storeroom of the shop, patted away the thin gray on the top, and took out a brocade of excellent color and decorated with fine silver beads.
It's a pity that it was originally going to take the dignified road and sell it at a good price.
She finally caressed the cloth lovingly, and sent a few people to place it in the most conspicuous place.
Those who come to visit the satin shop are not peers, or dignitaries who know the goods buy them back and cut new clothes. Therefore, soon a pot-bellied merchant squinted his eyes and looked closer, showing a satisfied smile: "After watching it for almost an hour, it can be regarded as a good product, so wrap it up directly!" ”
The sound of his shouting immediately attracted a large group of "hulala" people who gathered over, and they were surrounded by water.
The county lord of Duancheng is still young, and he likes to join in the fun no matter what he does, and today is of course no exception.
She tugged at the sleeve of the person next to her and behaved coquettishly: "Brother Che, let's also go and see it, okay?" ”
The warm fragrant nephrite was on the side, and Pei Yanche's heart melted in half, how could there be anything that should not be, "Okay." ”
This scene fell into the eyes of the third person, but it was extremely dazzling. Zhu Xingchun's face sank, but he didn't move, and only let the shopkeeper go to entertain the guests.
After a cup of tea, the crowd gradually became noisy.
The county lord of Duancheng has a noble status, and she is used to being spoiled, at this time she pointed at the merchant angrily, and said in a choked voice: "The things that the county lord likes have never been obtained!" Brother Che persuaded you to give in in a good voice, but it wasn't to make you kick your nose in the face, why, now the price is not as high as the county lord, do you want to fight again? ”
The merchant almost tilted his head in anger.
The people don't fight with the officials, in the final analysis, it's just a piece of material, whether they can't add tattoo money, or they don't have the courage to argue with the prime minister's pearl and the proud protégé, everyone looks at the nose and nose, and the door is very clear.
I've almost seen enough of the excitement.
Zhu Xingchun opened the curtain and walked out: "I'm sorry, this is a new product in the store, and before it was on the shelves, the guy who did the work did something wrong without paying attention, so you can see the joke." ”
She smiled with her eyebrows, her tone was calm and natural, and everyone's attention suddenly turned to the direction of Zhu Xingchun.
Someone who knew this face quietly exclaimed underneath: "Don't you wish everyone?" ”
"I heard that this shop is the property under her name, and it is difficult to see her true face in ordinary times, but it is difficult to ...... to the sky."
More people were puzzled: "You said that Zhu, the leading embroidery master in Shangjing, is the mediocre-looking woman?" ”
All kinds of gossip naturally fell into Zhu Xingchun's ears.
But that's exactly what she needs at the moment.
So she also exclaimed: "Pei Lang, why are you here?" Also stayed with the county lord. You said clearly before that when you don't come to look for me, you will be in the house to warm your books, and I am afraid that you will be tired from the case, so I specially made soup for you...... Today, isn't there something hidden? ”
Pei Yanche's face turned white in an instant.
In the past years, at the Jinluan Palace, the princess peeked at the curtain and was deeply attracted by Pei Zhuangyuan's gentlemanly appearance, and wanted to recruit him as a concubine, but Pei Zhuangyuan refused on the grounds that he had an unmarried wife at home and could not live up to it. In Shangjing, it is an old thing that no one knows.
It's just that later, there was no news of Pei Yanche's marriage, but the daughter of his teacher, the county lord of Duancheng, followed him closely in three steps.
Everyone naturally thought that they were a godsend.
Unexpectedly, today, a second woman appeared out of thin air.
What's more, the county lord of Duancheng, Pei Zhuangyuan, and I wish everyone are all celebrities in Beijing.
Everyone had never seen such a tense and exciting bustle, and many pairs of eyes were rolling between the three of them, not daring to make any noise to disturb them.
After a long time, the county lord of Duancheng couldn't help but say, "Could it be that where Pei Gongzi is going, do you still need to report to you?" Who are you, and who is he? ”
At this time, he changed his name to Childe.
Zhu Xingchun glanced at Pei Yanche's increasingly hesitant movements amusedly, as well as the hand he wanted to raise and put down several times, and nodded: "I don't care about others, but the county lord, the people's daughter is asking my fiancé." ”
"I don't know if this identity is enough?"
She turned around and looked in the direction of Pei Yanche. He waited for a moment to come up with any excuse to fool her and everyone present.
Even if the county lord of Duancheng doesn't say anything, he has always regarded himself as the champion lady in his every move, where has he suffered such a great shame?
Her eyes turned red.
Not to mention, this little girl is indeed outstanding in appearance and has a lively personality, Pei Yanche likes her, and Zhu Xingchun is not surprised.
After all, when they were young, didn't Pei Yanche love the girl who was smiling and smiling even if she sat by the stream and washed clothes?
