The four hundred and fiftieth eight chapters are ruthless and touching
At the entrance of the once bustling Xinglong Teahouse, the food booths are still there. The people who came here because of the excitement of the day have not yet dispersed, but the many big shots who came to judge today are already preparing to go back to their homes.
.
"Grandpa Ge, when you go back, walk around more, eliminate food, and just sit there and study if you have nothing to do. The better your health is, the more opportunities you have to give pointers to the things Ah Shou has toiled with, right... What am I doing?
I am angry with you, but I am telling the truth. It is right to live and learn, but first of all, you have to live to be old! I also hope to congratulate you on your birthday every year!"
He sent Ge Yong away who was so angry that his nose was crooked, and then after tricking Chu Ying into giving him a thumbs up and thanking him and Qi Jingshan for the two birthday gifts, Zhu Ying smiled and said to Chu Ying and Qi Jingshan
They put them on the carriage together. But when she turned around and looked again, she saw that Qin Duke Zhang Chuan and Weinan Bo Zhang Kang were already getting on their horses and leaving, so they had to go over and joke a few words.
Just now, Zhang Chuan and Zhang Kang both gave her a gift from her junior. Each of them gave her a purse. As for what good things are in the purse, the young lady who has too many good things doesn't care much. At this time, she laughed.
After thanking them, Zhu Ying had to glance at Zhu Jing and Zhang Shou who were talking beside them.
I don't know if it's her misunderstanding, but she always feels that if she does something bad, her father will embarrass Zhang Shou.
Zhu Jing also clearly received the outgoing and doubtful look from his daughter, so he could only take out a small and exquisite long wooden box from his sleeve, which was at least half a palm in size, and handed it to her expressionlessly.
Zhang Shou saw that the person was slightly stunned before he quickly took it with both hands. He then coughed with a straight face.
"It's not a birthday celebration, so Duke Qin and Uncle Weinan wanted to give you a birthday gift just now, but I stopped them. It's just a birthday, don't make such a fuss. After all, even Princess Yongping declined to accept the gift just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Zhu Ying over there who had clearly heard the conversation between him and Zhang Shou, and she was already angry. At that moment, he had to change his slightly stiff attitude and said sincerely: "You and Zhang Shou
Yingying is still young, so don't take this kind of life too seriously. This seal was used by me to relieve my boredom when I had nothing to do. You can take it and enjoy it."
Seeing that her father had to beat around the bush even when giving Zhang Shou a birthday gift, Zhu Ying finally laughed. It wasn't until she saw Zhu Jing leaving Zhang Shou and walking towards her, with a face that sounded serious, that the eldest lady hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
Go, as soon as she opened her mouth to call daddy, she felt a hand pressing down on her head, and her face turned pale with shock.
"I'm not a child anymore! Dad, please don't mess up the fairy buns I made with great difficulty for Zhan Jin and Liu Yin today!"
Zhang Shou saw Zhu Jing's hand stopping just an inch away from Zhu Ying's head, or rather her hair, and then sighed deeply. He couldn't help but help the poor awkward father.
He shed tears of sympathy. The next moment, he saw Zhu Jing move his right hand down, press Zhu Ying's shoulder like a boy, and then strode away.
As soon as the man got on the horse, he galloped away and disappeared in an instant. He couldn't help but laugh, and immediately came to Zhu Ying, who had a tangled face: "Yingying, you are not afraid that your resistance just now made you angry.
Dad. If it hadn’t been your birthday today, Lu Sanlang would not have been able to invite your dad to be the judge on this preliminary day, even with his great abilities.”
"I know, but why is dad always fond of touching my head? I'm already so old!" Zhu Ying snorted, then glanced at Zhang Shou resentfully, "Dad even gave you a gift, but I don't know anything about it.
No!"
Zhang Shou suddenly burst into laughter. Princess Yongping had previously told the eunuch not to accept gifts, and indeed no one else asked for trouble, but Zhu Ying and he both received gifts from Ge Yong, Chu Ying and Qi Jingshan.
Whether it was a pen, a book, a fan pendant, or an ornament, only Zhu Jing had been holding off until just now, but he did not expect that in the end he would not give anything to Zhu Ying.
"Your father is a hard person on the outside but soft on the inside. It must be because he can't express himself outside. When you come home, there must be countless gifts waiting for you." After saying this, Zhang Shou smiled and said, "No.
It's early. I also have a gift for you, the birthday girl. You come with me back to Zhangyuan, and then I'll take you home!"
When Zhu Ying heard Zhang Shou said it was late, she thought he was going to send her home, and she felt a little unhappy. But when Zhang Shou said he had a gift for her, she was overjoyed and said with a smile: "
Okay, let’s go quickly!”
Seeing this scene, Lu Sanlang clicked his tongue repeatedly, then glanced sideways at Song Juren, who was looking around, and said meaningfully: "Song Gong, have you seen this? If you had half the delicate thoughts of my teacher, you would be here today.
I will never make Princess Yongping cry. I really admire you, I have never seen such a clumsy person like you."
Ah Liu also echoed: "I already told him that he is stupid."
Hearing that two people in a row said that he was stupid, Song Juren suddenly fainted. This depressed mood was not only because he cried with anger at Princess Yongping, whose birthday was today, but also because Fourth Master Hua specially gave Zhang Shou a packet of seeds.
He begged for mercy on his behalf, but specifically asked Zhang Shou to take him in to live temporarily in Zhang Yuan. In other words, his plan to open a store would be temporarily ruined!
Seeing that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying had already mounted their horses, Ah Liu said hello to Lu Sanlang, grabbed Song Juren and came to the side of the two mounts. Seeing Song Juren looking at the tall horse in surprise, the young man frowned and asked
Said: "You don't know how to ride a horse?"
"Yes, but I don't ride well..." Song Juren no longer wanted to think about what happened when Ah Liu came to see him before. After nodding his head, he clumsily stepped on the stirrups and got on the horse, but he didn't
When he turned his head to talk to Ah Liu, he saw a hand reaching out from beside him and snatching the rein from his hand.
Turning around, he found that Ah Liu had arrived on the other side of him. Song Juren was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Ah Liu shaking the reins and pulling his horse forward, he hurriedly shouted.
"Can you go to the inn to pack my luggage first? Also, my book boy is still in the room. In order to get rid of him and run out today, I had to drug him. In order to prevent him from waking up and running around,
I also tied him to the bed. If something happens, we will be in big trouble and his life will be at stake!"
This was said in a loud voice. Not to mention Ah Liu, even Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou who were in front heard it. Zhu Ying was so angry and funny that she immediately stopped her horse and turned around, and then pointed at one of the guards behind Zhu Hong.
: "Go and ask Mr. Song where he lives and get him out quickly. Remember to pack your luggage. If you still have money for the rent, pay it all in advance."
Not long after, she saw that the guard had asked Song Juren about the location, whipped his horse and hurried to a certain inn. Zhu Ying rode her horse forward again. But before she had gone a few steps, she heard a voice coming from behind her.
A somewhat hesitant voice.
"Um...thank you, but my rent payment has already been given to that inn, and my book boy paid it in advance for more than half a year...because my family is afraid that I will spend money recklessly, so I let him keep it for safekeeping...ahem
, it’s easy to pay but difficult to refund, I’m afraid they may not be willing to refund the remaining money to me... By the way, do you really want me to move there? It’s not very convenient, you two are newlyweds..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhu Ying's face turned red, and even Zhang Shou almost laughed in anger. But Ah Liu's reaction was relatively indifferent, he just pulled the reins and pulled Song Juren a little closer to him.
, and then he said word by word: "The young master and the eldest lady will not get married until the end of the year, do you understand?"
Then something clicked in Song Juren's mind. When he saw that Zhu Ying was indeed a girl with her hairstyle and clothes, and then when he met her eyes that were so angry that they looked real angry, he suddenly thought that he had only heard people say that the two were meant for each other.
Said the two were married!
After a long while, he said quietly: "I didn't pay attention before. Really, I was just looking at the princess... No, no, no, that's not what I meant. What I mean is, I think you are very affectionate... No, no, no,
I mean you guys are perfect for each other!"
It's a miracle that this guy has survived until now without being beaten to death! For a moment, Zhang Shou felt that the Song Juren in front of him was a rare and rare thing.
However, although the blush on Zhu Ying's face has not subsided, her charming smile shows that she is actually in a very good mood at this time. Whether it is love or a good match, she actually loves to hear these words!
So, after giving Song Juren a meaningful look, her look seemed to tell you that after you said a few nice words, the eldest lady then rode her horse around to the other side of Zhang Shou.
She lowered her voice and said: "Ah Shou, if you let this guy open a shop, he will lose money in three days, get into lawsuits in five days, have people come and beat him up in eight days, and close down in ten days. Why don't we just let him stay here?"
Zhang Yuan!"
Zhang Shou suddenly laughed: "After all, people are just raising people. Do you want to lock them up and make sweets for you? Are you afraid that his family will settle accounts with us? You just heard that his family is the richest man in Guangdong...I suddenly feel now that we
Are you too destined to be with the richest man? Forget about ten thousand yuan treasure, Fourth Master Hua and Mr. Song found them by themselves."
Zhu Ying felt more and more comfortable after being told by Zhang Shou, and she couldn't help but snorted softly: "It doesn't matter who he is, the richest man, he is a dragon and he has to lie down when he arrives in the capital... Anyway, this fool named Song wants to be content with himself."
Once he can live happily, we can protect him and let him enjoy himself!"
Speaking of this, the eldest lady suddenly winked at Zhang Shou playfully, and her voice was suddenly very soft: "Besides, Ah Shou, do you think it's strange that the Yongping girl suddenly got angry today?"
Of course it's a bit strange, but with Princess Yongping's utilitarian yet calm personality, it's not surprising that she was so angry that she almost exploded when faced with the idiot behind her who was determined to have her own way!
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, and then smiled and said: "Everyone has a different way of living, and there is no need to impose his will on others. In fact, from Princess Yongping's perspective on people and things, how can I
Aren’t you a person who doesn’t seek to make progress?”
Zhu Ying immediately quit her job: "Who said you don't want to make progress? Who dares to say that you don't want to make progress! Ah Shou, you are the most capable and hard-working person I have ever met...well, except for my eldest brother...you are always motivated.
It doesn’t matter if you’re not motivated, as long as you’re not just eating and waiting to die, like that boy from the Song family, he likes to make sweets, so there’s nothing wrong with that... Wait, Ah Shou, you’ve taken my topic astray!"
The eldest lady, who had just woken up from a dream, glared at Zhang Shou, then looked around for a while, and then said with a ghostly voice: "Don't you think Yongping might be interested in this boy?"
Seeing Zhang Shou's eyes widening for a moment, and about to show a disapproving expression, she immediately became anxious: "Don't take it seriously! I can tell you that I grew up with that girl Yongping, even the emperor
Even Concubine Yu and I may not know her better than I do! Although she is smart and smart, everyone says she is a talented woman, but she is actually very indifferent to people and things."
"Unlike me who often gets angry and gets into arguments when something goes wrong, she usually tries to be restrained and doesn't get into conflicts with others. According to her usual temper, she just walked away without quarreling with Song.
……So I think……"
Before Zhu Ying could finish her words, Zhang Shou shook his head: "Yingying, you are wrong. If there is someone who falls in love at first sight in this world, it is you. Whether you dare to love or hate, it all depends on the mood in your heart.
Of you, but definitely not the cold and cold Princess Yongping you just said. She is probably a million miles away from being interesting to that idiot Mr. Song."
Seeing Zhu Ying's unconvinced face, Zhang Shou thought to himself and said his own judgment: "She only ate the sweets made by others, and she somewhat praised his craftsmanship. But later it was learned that he was a scholar who went to Beijing to take the Jinshi examination.
, is the group she treats with kindness on a daily basis - even if the intention is only for her own benefit - so she has the mentality of hating iron but not steel."
"As for the dispute..." He paused and then said casually, "A person who has never lived for himself unscrupulously, suddenly sees a person who is willing to break the rules, break other people's prejudices, and live for himself, then
There will be conflicts by nature. Just like Princess Yongping is actually envious, jealous and hateful towards you, she also has the same emotion towards Young Master Song."
Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows in surprise: "That girl in Yongping is actually jealous of me? Is that true?"
The eldest lady, who was a little slow in this regard, thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that it was indeed the case, but then she became dejected: "I thought there was hope for the matter entrusted to me by Concubine Yu. You don't know, Deyang
The princess and the two princesses have made a lifelong decision, but Yongping has been left alone. Concubine Yu actually feels very complicated."
"I thought she finally met someone who was willing to pay attention to her, but she ended up making trouble for a long time... ugh!"
Seeing that Zhu Ying was upset like the third aunt and sixth mother-in-law who failed to become a great matchmaker, Zhang Shou couldn't help but find it very interesting that the eldest lady was acting like this at this time - she obviously disliked most of the maiden ladies in the capital, the virtuous and virtuous Shuyuan from a famous family.
We are not very familiar with each other, but Zhu Ying can always miraculously solve marriage problems for others, and now she is even more worried about Princess Yongping.
If it weren't for the public, Zhu Ying was obviously very proud of the flying fairy bun. Zhang Shou also wanted to do what Zhu Jing failed to do just now, touch the eldest lady's structure, which is obviously different from ordinary people.
's head.
In the end, he just looked at the person and smiled and said: "I think, Yingying, you really need the gift I plan to give you. You are so busy all day long, you should stop and take a look at the beautiful scenery around you."
