Chapter 160:

Zhu Yuan looked down and gently rubbed the tea cup in front of her with her fingers.
However, Xie Zheng, who was beside him, answered casually: "Don't worry."
Zhu Yuan: ...so perfunctory.
Concubine Shu didn't feel angry, she just sighed and said, "Yes, you are just married."
Xie Zheng was slightly surprised. Does his mother and concubine have such a good talker?
He glanced at Zhu Yuan subconsciously, but the latter still bowed his head silently.
Concubine Shu didn't care about his little actions, and then asked, "Why did the Caiye you sent yesterday belong to the second family? Are you short of money?"
Xie Zheng looked directly at Zhu Yuan this time.
Concubine Shu was a little surprised, and then looked towards Zhu Yuan.
Zhu Yuan was distracted, and found that she suddenly calmed down. He looked up and met two pairs of similar black eyes.
She was startled, weak and weak: "What?"
Xie Zheng & Concubine Shu:...
Concubine Shu was out of anger: "Why did you go last night? I'll just watch you get distracted today."
Zhu Yuan did not dare to say anything.
Xie Zheng frowned and relieved her: "My fault, forgot to enter the palace today, don't blame her."
Zhu Yuan blushed with a "boom". Oh, no one will be dumb if he doesn't speak!
Concubine Shu didn't think much about it. When she was about to ask, she saw that Zhu Yuan blushed, and she understood now, and she was speechless: "I have been married for more than a month, haven't you been sticky enough?"
Zhu Yuan dare not look up at all.
Upon seeing this, Xie Zheng simply changed the subject, repeating the question he had just asked to Zhuyuan.
Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows: "You don't know the money situation at home?"
"It was handed over to Yuanyuan a few years ago, and she was in charge of it."
Concubine Shu thought for a while and nodded: "It's also very good. If you hand over these trivial matters, you can concentrate on doing business." Then she looked at Zhuyuan.
Zhu Yuan said in a hurry: "There are some, but this heating house is quite expensive. My daughter-in-law is thinking about making greenhouse vegetables. If there is no surprise, I can eat green leafy vegetables this winter."
Concubine Shu was a little curious, and after asking a few words, she didn't understand, and then threw it away: "Forget it, I'll wait until the end of the year to see what you planted."
"Eh." Zhu Yuan smiled. As long as you don't talk about her with Xie Zheng, everything is fine.
"Since you all know it in your heart, I won't say more." Concubine Shu glanced at Xie Zheng, who was quiet and unspoken, and simply talked to Zhuyuan about "Shining".
...
After leaving the palace gate, Xie Zheng pulled Zhu Yuan into her carriage and explained to her: "The agronomy research you originally planned to do in Zhuangzi is related to the people's livelihood and should be put in the Ministry of Industry. I was expecting to wait for me to go. After I was in the Ministry of Engineering, I took over the research. I didn’t want my father to let me go to the Ministry of Engineering... I’m afraid it won’t work now.

Zhu Yuan said "Um": "Then I continue to do it in Zhuangzi?"
"This research also involves follow-up promotion, and it is safer to put it in the Ministry of Engineering." Xie Zheng squeezed her finger. "The father is optimistic about this. He brought your father up for this."
That's better. Thinking of her father finally being able to stay in the capital, Zhu Yuan was very happy: "That's better, I have any ideas later, and I can talk to him directly."
Xie Zheng looked at her: "Very happy?"
"Yeah." Zhu Yuan glanced at him, leaned over, and kissed the corner of his lips, "Thank you dogdan~"
Not only thank Zhu Xiuqi for his promotion, but also thank him for his tolerance over the past few days.
The prince and the princess live in separate hospitals, which is the current rule and generality.
But Xie Zheng wanted to get her into Shen Si Hall...
She would never put her trust on a prince who covets a big name.
Compared to a yard that didn't belong to her, Mianyunju was her rightful residence. Of course she has to take advantage of the moment to be spoiled and tidy everything up.
Even if she and Xie Zheng are no longer in love in the future, she will be able to return to Mian Yunju in dignity and live her little life behind closed doors.
She just prepared two copies of frequently used things and placed them in two yards. Because Xie Zheng had spoken, her infrequent things were locked in several rooms in Shensitang.
In addition, she lives as she should in her daily life. She doesn’t give up three small meals. She has a lot of gentle and small thoughts. She does housework, business is diligent and diligent, and she has a spring night every night... I've done it all.
These are not pretends-she is not a saint, and after a few years, she has been genuinely affectionate to Xie Zheng.
But she is not really a little girl who can achieve the three obediences and four virtues, and she can't achieve selflessness.
Yes, she likes Xie Zheng.
But she is still Zhu Yuan, who has received nine years of compulsory education, three years of high school and four years of university, and has been struggling for many years in the modern society of equality between men and women.
In her heart, there is always one-third margin.
If Xie Zheng didn't even give her this room...
Fortunately, Xie Zheng gave it.
She naturally noticed Xie Zheng's abnormality in the past few days.
He didn't make it clear, and instead moved something representing his identity into Mianyunju, which gave her enough dignity.
She was both happy and guilty, and then a little empty—how sad, even if she was a princess and decent, she still had to rely on a man to give it.
...
No matter what, she is really happy and grateful for Xie Zheng's connivance.
Feeling uncontrollable, she simply took advantage of the two of them in the car and leaned over to kiss him.
Xie Zheng's eyes darkened, he held her head back, and asked in a deep voice, "That's it?"
Zhu Yuan blinked his eyes and smiled.
She leaned over, stretched out her finger, circling ambiguously on his chest, and whispered: "Then, at night..."
Ambiguous jokes were vaguely between his lips and teeth.
...
Zhu Yuan, Zhang Jingshu and others are greatly relieved whether they are Zhu Yuan, Zhang Jingshu and others.
When Zhu Xiuqi came back, Zhu Yuan took the opportunity to return to her family.
I talked to Zhu Xiuqi about a lot of things about Zhangkou--because Zhu Xiuqi hasn't taken office yet, Zhu Yuan couldn't talk about agricultural experiments with him.
After talking to Zhang Jingshu and others, teasing the two little babies, and chatting with Zhu Tingzhou, who was finally about to end the imperial examination this year, the time came to Shenshi.
Seeing that she had no plans to leave, Mother Xu could only stand up and urge her.
Zhu Yuan looked at the sky as it was still early, and left the ink for a while before reluctantly leaving.
Returning to the palace is near the end.
If it's winter, it's almost time for dinner. Fortunately, the sky is getting longer now, it gets dark late, and I am not afraid for a while at night.
As Zhu Yuan thought, she lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
The warm palm supported her arm, and at the same time, the familiar low voice sounded with discomfort.
"Why did it take so long?"
Zhu Yuan was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Why are you here?"
The person here is Xie Zheng.
He supported Zhu Yuan and said indifferently: "Just passing by."
Zhu Yuan blinked and looked around, confirming that the second door was correct, and she was speechless. What did he pass by here without incident?
However, without asking the reason, she got out of the carriage and followed him to the backyard, chatting as she walked: "Then the relationship is good, and it happened to have dinner together."
"Yeah." Xie Zheng looked soft.
Zhu Yuan asked casually, "Have you had lunch?"
Xie Zheng paused and frowned, "Did the chefs who usually cook have taken turns? Today's dishes are salty and oily, and they are of no standard."
"Huh?" Zhu Yuan stopped and said in amazement, "Why, I was talking to Chef Liu before I went out." It was even stranger to see An Rui's helpless expression in the corner of her eyes.
Xie Zheng hummed lightly: "That's lazy rants, turn around and take care of it."
Zhu Yuan glanced at An Rui suspiciously, and said dubiously: "Really? I'll check it later."
"Yeah." Xie Zheng asked her in turn, "Go back today, what did you chat with your mother-in-law?"
Speaking of Zhu’s family, Zhu Yuan immediately became energetic and began to tell him about the situation of Zhu’s family: how well Zhu Tingzhou intends to leave this year, and Zhu Xiuqi will have to work in the Ministry of Engineering in a few days. The six-year-old brother and sister are now How naughty, how cute is the little nephew who is a few months old...
Xie Zheng led her and watched her small mouth babble, but felt uncomfortable in her heart. He simply interrupted her and said, "If you like children, let's have a few more."
Zhu Yuan:...
Let's not mention having children, we are still good friends.
It just so happened that Mianyun arrived, and Zhu Yuan immediately changed the subject: "Ah, it's here, lunch was not done well, you definitely didn't have a good meal at noon, let's let someone pass the meal?"
"it is good."
Zhu Yuan is busy with people passing meals.
She was ordered by Bai Lu from the back, but the old fellow An Rui rushed up immediately: "How can such a small matter trouble Girl Bai Lu, the minion is fast, the minion is going, the minion is going now!" After speaking, he bowed. Just ran away.
Zhu Yuan:...
She turned to look at Xie Zheng and asked, "Why are you so active?"
Xie Zheng didn't care: "Probably because she is afraid that the little girl is tired."
"Oh, that's kind of a gentleman!"
Xie Zheng took her into the room and asked, "What's the answer to a gentleman?"
Zhu Yuan got stuck, scratched her cheeks, and reluctantly explained: "Usually it refers to some people who respect women, respect the old and love the young, and talk modestly... right."
"I haven't heard of it."
Zhu Yuangan laughed: "The customs are different in different places, and there are too many words that have not been heard."
The Xia Zhi, who happened to be staying behind, brought someone to bring warm water, and she hurriedly took the person to the wash basin and rolled his sleeves for him.
Xie Zheng looked down at her to work, with a soft expression: "Then, am I still a gentleman?"
Zhu Yuan immediately snorted: "Forget it, you, in that place, it can only be regarded as..." She glanced at the maids who stepped aside, lowered her voice and joked, "Bullies!"
As soon as the words fell, she herself laughed happily.
Xie Zheng had no choice but to flick her forehead with her index finger: "Naughty."
Zhu Yuan chuckled, looked outside, and pulled his hand off: "Daddy An Rui is back, wash your hands quickly, it's time to eat."
"Ok."
