Chapter 32: 纨 绔 (7)

In spring, the trees are sprouting, and the princess's house is flourishing, no matter which path you go to, there is a lot of green.
Duan Qingen took Xi Yuzhen to walk in front of a trail that had just sprung up. Two girls and two young crickets fell far behind to avoid anyone seeing them walking together.
"The cousin Zecheng is the daughter of the daughter of Mrs. Zhu's stepmother. Since she was a child, her father grew up with her old parents in Huxiang. When Zecheng was a child, she lived there for a few years because of her grandfather Shouxiao. . "
While speaking in a relaxed tone, he raised his hand and waved a small branch growing out of the road for Xi Yuzhen. He saw her bowed his head slightly in silence, and then let go of his hand.
"The relationship between my aunt and my step-mother is not very good. In addition, I think that the Zhu family and her maid are already in the middle of her. I don't need to kiss and kiss anymore. This is why Ze Cheng has been reluctant to respond when he proposed to marry his cousin. Ze Cheng knew that I always had more ghost ideas, so he sought me. "
Xi Yuzhen's hands under his sleeves were tense and clasped tightly, opened his mouth, and his voice was dry. "So you already know what happened today?"
This matter, of course, was that Mrs. Hou gave her daughter-in-law medicine and led her to the hut, wanting to catch a on the spot.
"I didn't know for a long time that your mother-in-law couldn't do things by herself. You also need to send a message to my mother so that she can cooperate with me to deceive me. Otherwise, you're alone here. This bureau also It makes no sense. "
Duan Qingen smiled: "My mother seems to be scheming, but she has long been fascinated by fame. She wants to suppress me, but she can come directly. She wants to put on a pet like she wants to kill me. The people in her yard are all against me, and it is not easy to counter one or two. "
"When I got the news, I thought of Ze Cheng. Your aunt is a girl from the Zhu family. She knows that Ze Cheng and the private association will come to catch people and say that in the past, I will pull you to hide and let Ze Cheng take The cousins ​​are painting, they just paint, and they do n’t act in moments, even if they are smashed. At that time, Ze Cheng pretends to be stupid and tells his cousin to have a relationship with her. In order to not damage the reputation of his son, Mrs. I can recognize this relationship. "
Xi Yuzhen has already responded, thanks to the fact that after she was passed by Duan Qing Enla, the Xiaolangjun who was the same age as her made it clear that he had no malicious intentions.
But when the two were hiding behind the curtain, she wondered, wondering how Xiaolangjun knew everything.
He was obviously as old as her.
After Duan Qingen said, she asked her again, "That's almost it. Do you have any questions?"
Xi Yuzhen hasn't talked since she was pulled out. First, she had almost no contact with outside men. Second, she really didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a long time, she asked, "But what if the mother said directly on the table that she saw you and me?"
"She won't."
Duan Qingen answered with affirmation: "She and Miao only came together because they had a common interest. She can be sure that you entered the house, but not sure if the man in the house is me. If you tell me directly, and later The discovery that the man in the room is another person is not a direct indication of her plan. "
"As for not telling you, think about it carefully. If you were a woman here and heard someone say that her unmarried daughter had entered the house with a foreigner, would you stay here to watch the fun or leave to avoid suspicion?"
Xi Yuzhen looked down, "Naturally it is to avoid suspicion. If you look at such ugly things, it will inevitably be embarrassing."
Even if most of the husbands present are actually more interested in watching the liveliness, as the noble ladies, they must first consider whether this will affect their reputation, so only with the vagueness of Mrs. Hou's words can these people look at it with confidence. lively.
She figured it out, and looked at Duan Qingen in amazement.
Although Xi Yuzhen did not go out to socialize, he also knew more or less about Sheng Jing, such as Duan Qingen's bad reputation and his current reputation for filial piety, and he was very much loved at home. This love is not only Miao, but also Paragraph father.
It stands to reason that he should not know so much.
"Do you want to know why I know so many things?"
Receiving Xi Yuzhen's gaze, Duan Qingen smiled at her.
Xi Yuzhen's lips were a bit nervous, and he nodded cautiously. His heart was already speculating a lot. For example, Duan Qingen's life at home is not as good as it looks on the surface, or he has eaten secretly, so he has developed a clever trick. heart.
"Naturally because of my talent."
Xi Yuzhen: "..."
Duan Qing'en smiled at her, and there was a coquettish courage that belonged to the young Langjun in the eyebrows: "Since we are about to make a marriage, I don't need to hide from you. To be honest, your aunt has my person by my side and my stepmom There are also my people, of course, there are also my people around you, the girl who pours you, others think she is your girl, you think she is your aunt's girl, in fact, she was arranged by me, big Don't worry, she just pours ordinary water on you. Even if you don't pour water into the sleeve through the sleeve, nothing will happen. "
Xi Yuzhen: "..."
"There are two sisters, three sisters, and four sisters in your family, who are more favored with your father and your father's house. Who are Aunt Ma, Aunt Hu, Aunt Liu, and everyone around me?"
Xi Yuzhen: "..."
"I'm scared to see you," Duan Qingen reminded her, "be careful of the stones in front."
Watching Xi Yuzhen's face lifted his feet across the stone in shock, he continued: "In the future, we are going to be husband and wife, and I will tell you the industry more or less nights, instead of wasting time in the cave. It might as well tell you about it now, this capital is going to be messy. You and I are just unmarried brothers. If I do n’t have a few means, how can I keep us in the future? "
Xi Yu really slowed down for a while. You can't blame her for being speechless. It is because these things Duan Qingen said are too shocking for her.
The aunt had planted people beside her, and she knew well. Whose master was not close to her.
But Duan Qing'en, a brother in another house, actually got her hands to this point, which really shocked her.
In addition to shock, there are some puzzles.
"She, they ..." She stuttered, "How could they be willing to listen to you?"
To an outsider, in the end, Duan Qingen is just an unmarried brother who hasn't entered the career and has no reputation.
"It's easy to make people obedient, especially for obedient people." Duan Qing'en's smile was a little bit bad, and the look revealed in his eyes seemed to be the unique clarity of the young man Langjun.
"It is nothing more than money and deeds. The servants are the most bitter in the government. Those who have a face in front of the master are okay. They are second masters, but ordinary servants who don't have faces are worried.
He counted them one by one: "The relatives in the family have no money for medical treatment. The master who is waiting is too miserable, or they don't want to stay in the house and want to redeem their lives. What they want but cannot do, I You can help them do that, you say, will someone kill me? "
Xi Yu really understood, but some did not understand, "Why are you doing this?"
"Just to know something early."
Duan Qingen explained to her patiently: "You think these subordinates can tell me limited, but in fact, it just depends on how you listen."
"For example, Chen Shangshu went to the government for a leave, but his servants found that although he boiled the medicine in the yard and let the strong medicine smell spread throughout the house, but Chen Shangshu himself did not drink any medicine at all. Yes, he is pretending to be ill, why should he pretend to be ill? What is the means by which a book can be used to pretend to be ill? She passed away, but the emperor feared that her death would affect her uncles and kept the news down. "
"If someone in the DPRK knew about this, she would impeach her mother-in-law's family. The emperor could save the country before, just because the queen-queen was behind, the queen-mother fell down, and the emperor who had always relied only on the queen could withstand the pressure? They do n’t want to bow their heads either. The two sides will inevitably have a fierce battle. Chen Shangshu is sensitive in the news. In the DPRK, Ming Zhe has always defended himself, and this time he was pretending to be ill.
Looking at Xi Yuzhen, who was already browning, Duan Qingen said: "The events in the Central China are enough to shake people's hearts, but no one will notice whether there are any abnormalities in the people in the middle of the house. This is like you and I are talking about state affairs at the foot of your feet. When ants crawl, do you worry that ants will spread it? "
Xi Yuzhen bowed his head and looked at the ants crawling on his feet. They were in groups and were lined up in an orderly manner around a corpse of a worm. If it weren't for Duan Qingen's mention, she wouldn't notice the ants under her feet.
Even if she was raised in a boudoir, Xi Yuzhen was just a girl who hadn't seen the world before. Even Duan Qingen said that it was too far away for her, and it was too scary.
She even felt her nose sore and her eyes a little bit astringent. I didn't know if it was because she heard the secret or because too much happened today.
"Are you so sure that we will get married? Although my brother is the only son of Zhongyi Houfu, my father is still healthy, my aunt is not old, and there are many aunts who will give birth to sons sooner or later. My father has always shown no affection to me, If I have nailed my eyes, you have a gully heart, and the means are good. I think the things you have planned are very big. If you marry me, I ca n’t help you, and you may be better off in the future. Hou Fu ’s side will still pick you up. , Marry me, it will do you no good. "
Xi Yuzhen said a bit of choking, she knew that Duan Qingen was a terrible one at first glance, and was frank enough to her. If she really married him, her life would be better than now.
But there are some things that have to be clarified, and also avoid having to regret it when you can't return.
"I have put a lot of people in your house, and naturally I know your situation. I want to marry you not because of your family background, but for you."
Duan Qingen kept the rules. Although he was very affectionate, in the end he did not pull Xi Yuzhen's hands. He just stopped to look at her eyes, and said softly, "You said that I have a gap in my heart, why don't you? I have some plans. It is for this reason that I need a lady who is standing with me, handling the back house for me, and handling internal affairs while I work foreign affairs. You said that Hou Fu wo n’t help me because of you, but you ’re still stingy. You know I want Hou ’s help? "
Looking at Xi Yuzhen looking at himself, he continued:
"I know what kind of person you are and you should know what kind of person I am. I dare not guarantee anything else, but I can say that if you marry me, I will certainly protect you in the future and never let you suffer. Wronged. "
In today's years when the husband and wife mostly respect each other, Duan Qingen's remarks are simply a killer.
No woman who wants to live well can resist, even Xi Yu can't.

"I know that my sister always treats Ze Cheng as her biological son, but this time, you may have stepped in too much."
Mrs. Zhu still couldn't hold back. She pulled Mrs. Hou to the box room until the two were alone. Then she took off the smile that had been barely maintained on her face and slapped her on the table.
"I confess that you have always been good to my sister. You cried and told Hou Fu that you had a good life, and I told Xianggong that I got two silver coins from the house for you. Outside you said that you had a narrow mind and could not take your daughter-in-law. When I go out to socialize, what time did I not help you say good things to me? I took my heart out of my sister, but you have to poke my heart !!!!
Mrs. Hou hurriedly pulled the hand of Xunzi. Could she be so prestigious in Hou's house, could it not rely on her mother's willingness to be her backer?
Although she is the biological daughter of her parents, now her brother is the master of the house and Madam Zhu is the mother-in-law.
"Well, listen to me and explain, this thing is really misunderstood."
"Is there a misunderstanding? Is there any misunderstanding ?!" Madam Zhu shakes off her hand, "Isn't your girl telling you that my family Zechen and his cousin entered the room? Isn't it that you are pulling those husbands together? Arrest? "
"Fortunately, I am a gentleman. Although he pleases his cousin, he has always followed the rules, but only paints. If he did something else? How can you let me be a man in Shengjing?"
Mrs. Hou could hardly argue, she couldn't count herself as a maid, but who knew that the person in the house had been replaced by Zhu Zecheng.
"Well, I didn't mean it on purpose, Ze Cheng was my nephew !!!"
"You also know that Ze Cheng is your brother-in-law. He is the only sister-in-law of your brother and me! I grew up carefully. Those widowers were restless. Folded under the hands of my aunt. "
"No, it's really not me, I ..."
"You don't need to say more. I naturally have my decision. I can't manage this. Let your brother do it!"
After speaking, Mrs. Zhu left her sleeves, leaving only Mrs. Hou standing in the room dumb.
what happened! !!
Why do people in the house become Zhu Zecheng! !!
With a fire in her stomach, she pushed the door open and pretended to be casual, and continued to return to the party.
She could even imagine how those people outside speculated about her, and maybe she felt that she had made such a play on purpose in order to destroy the nephew's reputation.
My elder brother only had such a bitch, and he was furious when he knew about it.
Will he help her? How will she be a man in her future family ...
With a thought in her stomach, Madam Hou was sitting in her original position.
The result looked far away, and even saw Xi Yuzhen and a Lang Jun jokingly came over here.
They did not evade intimacy. Although there was no physical contact, an unmarried couple could make such a gesture in front of everyone, almost announcing that they had entered into a marriage contract.
Mrs. Hou, with a somber face, said to the girl who had been ordered to pour wine before: "Go and inquire, what is going on?"
"Yes."
The girl Xu knew that she had done an errand and blessed her body, so she hurried on.
She came back after a while, and whispered to Mrs. Hou, "The older sister said that she did meet Duan Jiaer in the house, but later Zhu Jiaer came with his cousin, and Duan Jiaer and him He was a good friend, so he let out of the house and took the elder sister to the garden. "
Mrs. Hou clenched her fist tightly, "Did she not drink the water you brought?"
The girl quickly knelt down and asked for sin. "It was true that the slave put the medicine in, and watched the older sister drink it."
"So how is she okay !!"
Mrs. Hou screamed angrily, and the volume could not help being louder. Some of the ladies around her heard the movement and looked at it. She quickly smiled on her face, pretending to be nothing.
After seeing the husbands and men no longer looking at herself, she lowered her voice and gritted her teeth and asked, "Is there someone from Duan's family? Didn't I let the lady give me medicine in the past? Duan Jiaer's glass? "
Where would the girl know this? She quickly proposed, "Well, if you are a slave, please invite Mrs. Duan. Madam, please ask?"
"Hurry up please!"
The girl went to invite someone, and Duan Qingen here was still pressing the grass with Xi Yuzhen. He Lisheng was playing pitching with others. When he saw him walking with a young girl, he smiled at the people around him. It is far from clear, I do n’t know which one it is. "
"Looking like the elder sister of Zhongyihouhou, they laughed so happily.
Duan Qing'en was smiling with a bad expression. "It was my person who passed on the letter to my stepmother. I asked them to change the letter, and took down the medicine. The letter was also copied. One. "
Then, he said to Xi Yuzhen, who smiled at his lips, "Let's watch their dogs biting them."
Immediately after this remark, Miao was sitting next to Mrs. Hou under the leadership of the girl. After hearing her asking for medicine, she suddenly looked blank:
"What medicine?"
Mrs. Hou: "This is just the two of us. What do you pretend, of course, you drank the puzzling medicine, I will let you give it to your elder brother."
Miao: "???"
Mrs. Hou: "If it wasn't for something wrong with you this time, did they run?"
After hearing this, Miao responded immediately, "Sister do n’t talk nonsense, where can I dare to deal with this matter, my elder brother has always been confused, can he know if he has taken the medicine himself? When he is smashed, he can toss up and down. If my master finds me on the head, I will have no way of living. "
"You clearly wrote to me and said that it should be done, and at this moment ..." Madam Hou was speaking suddenly and suddenly realized.
"While you are timid and you dare not to do it, you should go down to me again. By the time the incident happened, if you did nothing, of course you could pick yourself up and kick me."
Consciously thinking clearly, she looked at Miao's eyes suddenly like poison.
I really did not expect that the wild goose perennially made the wild goose peck his eyes.
She calculated her calculations, but she was defeated by Miao's timid and foolish woman.
After finding the culprit, Mrs. Hou sprinkled Miao's body on the sister-in-law, and stood up and walked away.
"You hurt me today and I will pay it back in the future!"
Miao's who didn't even know what happened: "... No, wait, sister!"
Looking at the back of Madam Hou's indignant departure, she was confused and confused.
The moment is like being in the fog, not seeing the front and the back, but being able to understand one thing.
The friendship boat she and Mrs. Hou built for the sake of interest turned over.
And she did n’t even know why the friendship boat turned over when she said it was over, and the good sisters teamed up to kill the unsightly step-son.
I just left for a while, what happened? ?
The more Miao thought about her mind, the more she wished to extend Erkang's hand in the direction of Mrs. Hou's departure.
Sister, you come back! !! !!
I really don't know anything! !! !!
