Chapter 2: Refusal of Marriage (I)
The sudden words made Zhu Yushi and Zhu Zhirui stunned on the spot, and after half a ring, Zhu Zhirui said shyly: "Dad, what are you talking about?" "www.biquge.info Zhu Wancheng smiled: "The female university is not left." In the past, my father was too picky, and he couldn't look down on anyone who came to propose marriage, and if he married you off earlier, he wouldn't have today's trouble. Brother Fu is the benefactor of our Zhu family, and he is a heroic hero who values righteousness, and he will rest assured that he will be a father if he hands you over to such a person. Zhu Zhirui said embarrassedly: "Dad, you haven't asked Engong's opinion? What if people don't want to?"
Zhu Wancheng laughed and said: "Brother Fu, the meaning of the little girl's words is already agreed, as long as you nod your head, the old man will ask Taoist priest Bu to have an auspicious day of the zodiac and Zhang Luo's marriage." Zhu Zhirui said embarrassedly: "Dad!" Although she said this, she also set her eyes on Zhu Yushi.
Zhu Yushi has been silent, got up and bowed deeply to the father and daughter of the Zhu family, and said: "Thank you for the old gentleman's promotion, but there are still bad wives in the next family, and I dare not abandon the old and welcome the new." The young lady is brilliant, how to deserve it. Zhu Wancheng nodded and smiled: "Sure enough, you are a person who values love, depending on your age, you also have a family, and the old man is also prepared, in order not to embarrass you, Rui'er will make a side room for you, the old man really wants to recognize you as a son-in-law, otherwise no one will give in so much." Rui'er, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you. Zhu Zhirui is the real lady in the end, she is no longer embarrassed at this time, and her beautiful eyes are flashing to see how Zhu Yushi responds.
Zhu Yushi's face flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "I am a layman who doesn't even know a few big characters, and he is useless except for a little kung fu, and he really doesn't deserve to be a young lady, so he doesn't dare to agree for fear of misunderstanding." A hint of surprise and disappointment flashed in Zhu Zhirui's eyes, and she smiled slightly bitterly. Zhu Wancheng said: "The old man believes that Brother Fu is telling the truth, because the old man is confident that no one will look down on the little girl, the talent and appearance of the little girl are rare in the world, and Brother Fu is not moved by wealth, which increases the old man's determination to recruit you as a son-in-law." Zhu Yushi said: "The old gentleman's good intentions will not be forgotten, but this matter is related to the happiness of the young lady's life, and I dare not agree to it." Zhu Wancheng still needs to be persuaded again, Zhu Zhirui said: "Dad, don't make it difficult for others, save some face for your daughter." ”
Zhu Wancheng shook his head and sighed: "Hey, I thought this was a good thing that everyone was happy about, but let's not talk about it first." Brother Fu, think about it, your old husband's proposal to leave has always been valid. Zhu Yushi said: "Yes, I will leave first." Zhu Wancheng leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and said, "Rui'er, send Brother Fu for my father." Zhu Zhirui said: "Yes." ”
The two of them left the antechamber and walked relatively wordlessly through the second and third courtyards. The maids thanked Zhu Yushi one after another, and Zhu Yushi also smiled at them and returned the courtesy. The fourth-floor courtyard where he lives is relatively clean, and the independent courtyard next door is Zhu Zhirui's residence, Zhu Zhirui slowed down and said, "Can you feel tired after the Engong battle?" Zhu Yushi said: "I rested for a while just now, and I have gotten better." Zhu Zhirui said: "If Engong does not give up, would you like to move to the little girl's courtyard and let the little girl enjoy the friendship of the landlord?" Zhu Yushi said in fear: "When... Absolutely. As long as Miss doesn't get angry about what just happened. Zhu Zhirui smiled and said: "Am I such a stingy person? can't I be a husband and wife, and can't I be friends?" Zhu Yushi hurriedly said: "Do it, do it." ”
The fog has receded, and the peonies in the small courtyard are blooming, purple and red, fragrant and fragrant. Along the stone path to the Zhu Pavilion surrounded by the lake, and out of a section, you will see a small house placed among the flowers and plants behind a row of bamboo fences, the house is not big, particularly elegant and elegant, just look at the appearance to know that it is the boudoir of Miss Qianjin. There are more than a dozen extremely rare peony varieties planted in the flower garden in front of the door, and there are several pots of other kinds of exotic flowers and plants on the windowsill and under the eaves, all of which are very neatly pruned. A big yellow dog with brown hair was lazily lying on the grass basking in the sun, and when he heard the footsteps, he immediately erected a second team and rushed out to Zhu Zhirui excitedly. Zhu Zhirui squatted down with a smile and shouted, "Dong'er, come quickly." The big yellow dog sniffed Zhu Zhirui affectionately, rubbed her face with her forehead, and Zhu Zhirui also hugged its neck, stroked its soft mane, and had an affectionate attitude.
At this time, the door opened, and the personal maid Calyx hurried out, and she was sleepy-eyed, and seemed to have just woken up, and called, "Miss, you are back." Zhu Zhirui said angrily: "Lazy girl, when do you want to sleep, you didn't enter the secret passage alone, fortunately, Engong drove away the thief, otherwise you would be the first to suffer." Calyx was afraid: "It turns out that the thief has come, I was so scared that I didn't sleep all night, I fell asleep at dawn, and when I opened my eyes, I couldn't find Miss everywhere, I was in a hurry, fortunately you are fine." Zhu Zhirui said: "It's all thanks to Engong to save your life, go and get the peony flower tea I brewed, I want to treat Engong well." Calyx said, "Yes." Then he hesitated: "Does Miss want to invite Engong to tea in the boudoir?" Zhu Zhirui also reacted, and the girl who had not yet left the pavilion could let the man enter the boudoir without permission. Zhu Yushi hurriedly relieved the siege and said: "The pavilion where Miss plays the piano is refreshing and comfortable, and you can also enjoy the peony group, which is a good place to eat tea." Zhu Zhirui said happily: "What Engong said is true." ”
They sat down at the stone table in Zhu Ting, and the big yellow dog Adong also followed, lying on the ground, his head resting on Zhu Zhirui's shoes, and squinting his eyes comfortably. The calyx removed the guqin on the stone table and placed a set of delicate milky white tea sets, which were printed with colorful peony patterns, which were very suitable for the occasion. After filling them with a cup of tea, the calyx retreated to a suitable distance, unable to hear the master's conversation, but able to observe the master's needs.
Zhu Yushi took a sip of tea and praised: "It's so fragrant, a little sweet like peony." Zhu Zhirui said with a smile: "This is exactly the fragrant tea made from peony petals, of course, it has the fragrance of peony." Zhu Yushi said: "I didn't expect Miss to be able to make tea, she is really versatile." Zhu Zhirui said: "I don't dare to take this seriously, although the peony is planted by a little woman, but the tea is made by a tea farmer, I am just a helper." Zhu Yushi drank it all and said, "It's the first time I've eaten such a sweet tea." Zhu Zhirui said: "Although this tea is novel, it is a flower tea after all, with more than sweetness and insufficient aftertaste, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall after all." The little woman wanted Engong to be well-informed, and no matter how good the tea was, she didn't feel novel, so she wanted Engong to taste it fresh. Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "There is a rough person in the next place, and I usually eat tea just to quench my thirst, and the most I eat is cold water." The peony here is beautiful, and eating peony tea is just right, and it will be picky under it. Zhu Zhirui sneered and said, "Engong is funny." Zhu Yushi said: "I have already told Ling Zun not to call me Engong, and Miss should also call me Brother Fu." Zhu Zhirui said with a smile: "Brother Fu, a good name for the rivers and lakes, the little woman is only afraid that she is not used to it, so it is better to call you Mr. Fu." Zhu Yushi said: "Okay, as long as you don't call Engong, anything will do." ”
Zhu Zhirui hesitated for a moment, as if she was thinking about what she was going to say next, she was like a pool of clear water in front of the pavilion when she was quiet, her beautiful eyes flashed with a gentle and wise brilliance, and she paused and said: "I listened to Mr. Fu's conversation with my father, and when it came to marrying... When marrying a relative, the little woman inadvertently saw that there seemed to be pain in her husband's eyes, could it be that there was something hidden in it?" Zhu Yushi's heart moved, she didn't expect her observation to be so keen, and she did think of the deceased Yuelian just now. This question touched my heart again, and I was silent for a while. Zhu Zhirui was afraid of saying the wrong thing, and apologized: "It's strange that the little woman is talkative, if the gentleman doesn't answer, don't mind." ”
Zhu Yushi sighed: "Since Miss asked here, there is nothing to hide, just explain." Zhu Zhirui said: "Out of the king's mouth, into my ears." If your guess is right, isn't it about your sister-in-law?" Zhu Yushi nodded silently. Zhu Zhirui smiled: "I knew that Mrs. Sister-in-law was by no means an ordinary person, and she could make Mr. so affectionate." Zhu Yushi said: "I am the happiest person in the world, and I married two beloved women, one of whom is my first love and my wife." Zhu Zhirui said with a smile: "I can't see that Mr. is also a romantic person, and he actually accepted two beautiful wives." Zhu Yushi said sadly: "It's a pity that my happiness only lasted for a year, only one year... My wife is ... At this, he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. Zhu Zhirui was taken aback, only then did she realize that the matter was serious, although she was smart, she didn't know how to comfort a sad man, she motioned to the calyx in the distance to go away, and then said, "Mr. Fu, don't... Don't be sad, did something happen to your sister-in-law?" Zhu Yushi nodded slowly and said, "She was killed, and I came out this time to avenge her." Zhu Zhirui felt sad for a while, and said: "I didn't expect Mr. to have such a sad past, my father didn't know about it, and he brought it up to Mr. Don't be surprised." (To be continued.) )
