Evil girl follows good

Chapter 97

An accident in Zhao's mansion caused unrest in several mansions. Zhuang Qiyuan in Zhuang's mansion here heard that Zhao Yuanxi had accepted Dong Dingdu, so he called Taozhi, who was going to deliver things, to the study for questioning.

"Did you see the second girl?" Taozhi is the eldest girl next to Zhuang Qiyuan, and Taozhi takes care of everything in Zhuang Qiyuan's courtyard.

Tao Zhi naturally understands his young master's thoughts, "When the maidservant took people there, she didn't see the master of the mansion. Zhao's house was divided, and all the houses were moved out, leaving only the second room and the old lady. Move, the maid secretly inquired, the old man is going to the second room, but the second room has to be moved first, the two old people have to wait for the person from the big room to come back, and then move there. It is the second wife who brought the slave We went to the second girl’s yard, and the girl next to her named Lvzhu came out, and only said that the second girl took the things. I didn’t say much.”

Zhao Yuanxi broke his head at the gate of the Zhuang Mansion that day, and the girl named Lvzhu who impressed Taozhi the most was the girl named Lvzhu. Admire the loyalty of green bamboo.

Disappointment flashed across Zhuang Qiyuan's eyes, "It's good that people are fine."

Tao Zhi looked at the young master secretly from the corner of his eyes, "Young master, since the master has decided to marry the second girl for the young master, now that the second girl is fine, why don't you let someone go to the house to propose marriage."

Zhuang Qiyuan didn't want to do this, but he didn't have any good words to say, so he walked back and forth slowly in the study, while Tao Zhi pointed out, "This time the second girl was wronged at the house, wait for the eldest son of the Zhao family If the person comes back, he might hate our Zhuang Manor, so how could he agree to let the second girl marry over?"

These words made Zhuang Qiyuan's eyes brighten, "Taozhi, you are right."

With a loud smile, the man has strode out of the study.

Watching people go away from a distance, Tao Zhi looked back with a lonely face. He knew that the young master was going to marry a wife, but at this moment, he still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. How could such a young master like a fairy be Don't let women not be tempted.

But if you want to get married, marrying a shrewd and dignified mistress who is in harmony with the son-in-law is worse than marrying a girl like the second girl Zhao. No matter how much the son is interested, it may only be a momentary feeling of guilt. If it fades away, those who have benefited are those who have served for many years.

Besides, Taozhi also has her own selfish intentions, if a shrewd mistress returns, there is no room for them to come forward, if the second girl of the Zhao family is like that, she only needs to use a few tricks to make her quarrel with the young master It doesn't fit.

On the other side, Zhuang Qiyuan had already arrived at Prime Minister Zhuang's study. Seeing his son coming, Prime Minister Zhuang was a little puzzled, "But what difficulties have you encountered?"

Zhuang Qiyuan sat down under his father's signal, and then slowly opened his mouth, "Son has been thinking about things with the Zhao Mansion for the past few days. I heard from my father a few days ago that someone has sent someone to the Zhao Mansion to deliver things. I heard that the second girl Zhao It's all right now. If the marriage with the Zhao family is as the father wants, the son thinks that the marriage should be finalized before the eldest son of the Zhao family comes back, otherwise when the eldest family returns, the marriage will not be possible, but it will be a feud. "

Zhuang Qiyuan had never done such a thing of inconsistency, and he was afraid of being seen through by his father, so his whole body tensed up. Facing his father's gaze, he calmly looked up at him, and only when his father withdrew his gaze did he secretly cry out. Take a breath.

Thinking that he has always regarded himself as a gentleman since he was a child, and he has always done things calmly, but this is the first time he has done such a thing.

"What you said makes some sense. Right now, the elders of the Zhao family can make the decision and settle the marriage. The elders can't go back on their word when they come back." For the sake of my daughter, even if there is a grudge, I can't end it, "How about it, Tomorrow, I will have someone find an official media to go to the Zhao Mansion to propose marriage."

"The son just thinks about it this way. Whether there are shortcomings or not, the father needs to think carefully." Zhuang Qiyuan didn't dare to agree, for fear that his father would think too much.

Prime Minister Zhuang waved his hand, "You are right, let's do this."

He also talked about the affairs of the court, "The current situation is getting more and more unstable. The emperor can't get food from there. Every family in the capital is relying on the stored food. Sooner or later, the stored food will be used up. After that? Seeing the cold weather If people are able to freeze to death, the refugees pouring into the capital come one after another, relying on the little defenses in the capital, if one day the refugees riot, how many can be stopped? I think the capital is not a long-term place. The marriage is not bad, the eldest son of the Zhao family is far away in the northwest, guarding one side, only the northwest and the south of the Yangtze River have not suffered from the locust plague, if there is a day, the whole family will have something to rely on when they go to the northwest."

Seeing his father say this, Zhuang Qiyuan realized the seriousness, "Father, did the emperor send someone to fight for food in the northwest?"

"There are Fan kings in the northwest, and if they have food, they will say they have no food. It all depends on the loyalty of the Fan king to the emperor." Prime Minister Zhuang said very cryptically.

But it also made Zhuang Qiyuan understand a truth. Although the emperor was enthroned at this time, the power was not in his hands at all, no wonder he was blocked everywhere, and thinking of his father's worry, he understood to a certain extent.

"You go down too. I'll go to your mother to discuss the matter of marriage proposal." Although Prime Minister Zhuang was dissatisfied with his wife, he still wanted to inform his wife of his son's wedding.

The father and son left the study together and separated at the fork in the road.

When the starling saw that the young master had come back, he rushed forward to meet him, "Young master, the young master is here, and he is waiting for you in the study."

Zhuang Qiyuan nodded. After the incident with the Duke's Mansion, Zhuang Qiyuan never went to see Chen Zhenxuan again. He understood that Chen Zhenxuan was trying to help him get ahead and ruined Zhao Yuanxi's reputation. I just thought it was not what a gentleman would say, so I gradually alienated, but I didn't want the crown prince to ascend the throne, and the Chen family was the queen mother's mother's family, so it was not easy to do too much, but I also had less contacts, and almost never left the house. I don't want Chen Zhenxuan to come to find the mansion.

When he entered the study, Zhuang Qiyuan saw Chen Zhenxuan was admiring a painting hanging on the wall with his back facing him, and when he heard the voice, he turned around with a faint smile on his face, "Brother Yuan, if I don't come today , will you not go to see me?"

"Little Hou Ye said so, Qiyuan will never accept it."

"Okay, if you kneel down between us, that's your identity." Chen Zhenxuan supported him, "Brother Yuan, I know you're thinking that I'm not a gentleman when I hit a woman, today I'm here to show you I apologize, it was only on impulse at that time, I just wanted to teach her a lesson, and then I thought about how important fame and festivals are to a woman, not to mention that I was favored by Miss Zhao Er in Zhuangzi that day, I was not a real person. Gentleman, in vain I have been complacent all these years, and today I have finally been taught."

Zhuang Qiyuan naturally didn't dare to admit it, "Young Lord don't talk anymore, I started all this matter, so I made Little Lord bother."

After the two sat down, the starling came in with tea and stopped the topic.

"You haven't entered the palace for some days. When I went to the palace today, the emperor mentioned you. If you want to say that the old saying is that the boy is so powerful that he asked the emperor to marry him. None of us could see that he likes Zhao Zhao. Fifth girl." Chen Zhenxuan could be said to be proud of his spring breeze at this time, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuang Qiyuan, "You are not young, have you ever thought about marrying a girl from which family? I think it is said that there is a talented woman in Yifu. You They are geniuses, and they are a natural couple."

Zhuang Qiyuan could not tell the difference when he said such a joke, and looked up at Chen Zhenxuan seriously, "To tell you the truth, my father has decided to go to the Zhao Mansion to propose a marriage, and the second girl Zhao lost her reputation because of the Zhuang Mansion. The fault of the government, it is natural to be responsible, a man is a man, naturally he has to be brave, otherwise I will not be able to call myself a minister in the future."

But he wondered in his heart, when did the young master fall in love with the girl from Yifu?Today, the Shangfu came to spy on him, and he was a little bit displeased with Chen Zhenxuan, he just felt that he was a bit petty.

"So that's the case, I really wronged you, Brother Yuan." Chen Zhenxuan also sighed, and changed the subject, "Okay, it's rare to come out, let's go have a drink."

The goal has been achieved, Chen Zhenxuan is very satisfied with this answer.

Zhuang Qiyuan didn't have the mood to drink, "Let's get together some other day. Tomorrow, I'm going to the Zhao Mansion to propose a marriage. There are still some things my father needs to tell me."

Chen Zhenxuan was not unhappy either, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Okay, this is a happy event anyway, so I'll wait for the wedding wine."

Zhuang Qiyuan never showed his thoughts on the surface, so he sent Chen Zhenxuan out of the mansion, looked at the refugees lying on the street, frowned slightly, and then let people take the gates, and now the gatekeepers of all mansions have also been replaced by strong The servants work in several shifts, just to prevent the refugees from taking the opportunity to sneak into the mansion.

In the main room, as soon as Prime Minister Zhuang said that he would be engaged to Zhao Yuanxi for his son, Madam Zhuang quit, "I have never done anything wrong to the Zhuang family in my life, and with just such a son, the master is really so cruel and wants to kill my son for the rest of his life? "

"Nonsense, what do you know as a woman? I don't bother to talk to you. If you don't find an official media, I will. You just stay at home and drink the tea offered by your daughter-in-law." Flicking his sleeves , Prime Minister Zhuang left.

He really regretted coming this trip, he knew this was the case, but he still didn't give up.

Mrs. Zhuang didn't cry anymore, she wiped away her tears, and called the girl beside her, "Yue Zhan, go to the fourth bedroom of Zhao Mansion, I'll write a letter and deliver it to Mrs. Cheng personally."

At the same time, he asked the little girl to grind the ink, and wrote the things that were dragging on the letter, and sealed it for Yue Zhan to send it out.

At Qianshi Hutong, when Cheng saw Yue Zhan, his heart sank, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He smiled and invited people into the room. How could Yue Zhan dare to sit down, and only said that he was dragged by his wife to deliver a letter. , and handed over the letter.

Seeing that Yue Zhan had no intention of leaving, Cheng knew that she was waiting for a reply, so she opened the letter in front of her, was startled when she saw it, and struggled for a while before gritting her teeth. , "Go back to your wife, just say I know, and let her rest assured."

Only then did Yuezhan resign.
