151: Dowry and bride price(1/2)

151: Dowry and betrothal gift may have been in this time and space for too long, and I have already become accustomed to the fact that every word spoken and every thing done by the people here will take several detours, making people worry about it. Suddenly,

Meeting such a person who doesn't play his cards according to the rules is actually intimidating.

With her stubborn thinking, when Zi Jin met such a man, she was surprised and panicked one after another. However, she still had to maintain the calmest attitude and not allow others to see through her mind. She quickly adjusted her thinking and tried to follow her.

Think about the person in front of you.

"There are two outcomes, either I marry him or I get imprisoned in a pig cage." Zi Jin tried his best to put on the most dazzling smile and the calmest tone to cover up the strongest uneasiness in his heart.

"Which one will you choose?" Chu Junqiu asked, his expression as usual, without any clues.

Zi Jin looked at him and said, "Choose neither."

Surprise flashed across his mind. For the first time, Chu Junqiu failed to grasp the person's thoughts. It turned out to be a little girl. Looking at Zi Jin's expression, he narrowed his eyes dangerously: "You lied!"

"Whatever you think, what happens today is up to you. If you want to say it, say it out loud. If you don't want to say it, just keep it in your stomach. Do you have any evidence for empty words? When an official goes to court, he must pay attention to the completeness of personal evidence and physical evidence.

Do you have any evidence against me?" Zi Jin smiled brightly, facing the sunlight and competing with the petals of the flowers.

The smile on Chu Junqiu's face was even brighter. She was a very smart person. She was able to come up with this trick in such a short time. She was calm, calm and quick-witted. She was really a woman who was always surprised. When she first met Zi Jin,

I just thought she was beautiful. Under the sunshine and flowering trees, there was a layer of golden light, which made people's hearts surge. Then, I saw her walking among the ladies of the government, smiling and talking, and she was confident and dignified.

Chong, and later... She was so emotional in the bamboo forest, and she was rational in addition to her sensibility. He felt that this woman was really strange. She could actually let go of her beloved man and take care of the whole family. She was such a cruel person, and suddenly he felt a little sympathetic.

It will be very hard for that man to fall in love with such a woman.

Now, this ever-changing woman, after he exposed her secret meeting with someone, was still able to negotiate with him like this, even with a little casualness. Such casualness irritated him.

"Why should I go to court? To destroy a person, you don't need to go to court. Just rumors are enough." Chu Junqiu smiled, like a very sharp knife, swiping at him mercilessly to destroy him.

something.

"Rumors? Okay, then you can do whatever you want." Zi Jin smiled and said, "I'm scared. I'm scared to death. Are you satisfied?"

Chu Junqiu's face turned dark. Do you think he is a fool? How could anyone say to someone that she is scared? It was clearly a proud and arrogant thing!

"Yao Zijin!"

Zi Jin was stunned. It was not difficult for this person to know who she was, but he could still call her name like this. She was a little angry. How could a strange man call a woman's maiden name casually?

"Please respect yourself!" Zi Jin does not want to treat Chu Junqiu as a low-level actor. In her eyes, everyone is equal. She cannot change the existence of hierarchy, but she will try her best to respect everyone.

So what I said was not contemptuous words such as being bold or shutting up. The words "please respect yourself" were enough to give Chu Junqiu equal respect.

Chu Junqiu's brows were tightly knitted, and the invisible giant waves rolling in his dark eyes were frightening. Chu Junqiu seemed different at this moment from before. Zi Jin felt that this man was also a chameleon.

, unpredictable.

"If I say that I want to grow old with you, wouldn't it be a bit arrogant and an idiot's dream?" Chu Junqiu regained the comfort level just now and said with a smile.

"It seems a little bit." Zi Jin said solemnly. She is an official lady, and he is a stage actor. The gap between the two is simply bigger than the gap between Zi Jin and Ye Mingxuan. It is not just a fantasy, it is simply a fantasy.

Don't know what it means.

Chu Junqiu smiled. This time, there was no pretense in the smile, and there were not too many things that could not be guessed. It was as bright as the sun, "Ye Mingxuan can love you so much that he doesn't even want to take you back after you marry someone else. You said

Can't I do more than him to pursue you?"

Zi Jin thought about it very seriously, and then said with a straight face: "I don't have the charming smile of the princes in Fenghuo Opera, nor the charming concubine Daji of the generation. Although I am a little pretty, I don't seem to be that good.

It makes you do such crazy things. You still have some self-awareness."

"If you get someone, you can be like Ye Mingxuan. In order to protect you, he will take every step and wait indefinitely. But there is another way, which is to force you to a dead end and you can only rely on me."

"This is a good idea, you can try it!"

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid, can fear make you change your mind? Can you avoid disaster if you are afraid? Why should you be afraid if you can't? What's more, if you want to attack me and destroy me, you must first pass the test of my elder brother.

You have to pass the test of being a sister, and then you have to pass the test of the Yao family. You can only hurt me if you defeat the Yao family. It seems that you can't do it now with your ability. What's more, you also have to pass the test of the man I love. I

If something unexpected happens, he will probably fight you tooth and nail."

"What you say makes sense." Chu Junqiu smiled.

Zi Jin looked at him silently, silently and affirmatively.

"But don't forget, if you can only protect the interests of the family and the concubine, you will most likely be sacrificed. As for your brother Changjie, will he abandon the family for you? Your four sisters will marry you.

Regardless of the interests of the family? As for your lover...do you think he would abandon everything for you?"

When it comes to attacking the heart, the man in front of him is definitely one of the best. Every word is as sharp as a knife. Zi Jin almost couldn't resist. Looking at the man in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed. He tried his best to calm himself down and said with a faint smile:

"You are so loud. You should push me to that point first. I'm afraid you don't have the ability. If you really have the ability, let my family abandon me and my lover will have no time to take care of me..."

"What will happen to you? Seek death?" Chu Junqiu asked with raised eyebrows. He was very curious and wanted to know the answer.

"Wrong, why are you seeking death? If you want to die... I will have to support you!" Zi Jin slowly said word by word, "The plan is perfect, the deduction is good, the analysis is in place, and the strategy of attacking the heart is also good.

Very successful.”

"so?"

"You first set up a ladder to climb to a position where you can implement all this, and then declare war with me. At least for now, you don't have that position. It's as ridiculous as a summer insect talking about ice, but there is always a person.

Pursue talents to live a better life, and if I can make you more passionate about life, it will be considered my merit."

Chu Junqiu was stunned. He had never heard such strangely specious and strong-minded words that seemed to have some possibility. He had read countless people, but he had never encountered such an extremely contradictory and selfish person. But sometimes he was very generous and could always say

A woman with weird ideas.

"It seems that I have to be grateful to you." Chu Junqiu smiled sideways, which was so interesting.

"To deal with a man like you, I should actually beat you out with a big stick and give you a pair of big feet. But I also think that a man like you is an opera singer, so he must have practiced showmanship, and he can't be beaten by a beating.

, so I can only give up this idea. I want to ask you not to embarrass me. You are arrogant and will definitely sneer at you. You like vulgar women in your heart, and then you will definitely not be arrogant. You will definitely take pleasure in it. Both soft and hard.

If it doesn't make sense, then I have to let nature take its course. So, Chu, whatever you want to do, just come over. If my aunt frowns, my surname is not Yao!"

A man like Chu Junqiu had definitely never seen a young lady from a wealthy family blurt out such heroic words with the atmosphere of the world. For a moment, he thought he was back in the world of politics again.

"Have you really never traveled far since you were a child? Are you sure that ladies like us can speak dirty talk? Are you sure that you are just a fifth girl from the Yao family who is inexperienced in the world? I don't look like it." Chu Junqiu touched his chin,

He looked hard at it.

"Then?" Zi Jin listened to the voices in the yard next door getting closer and closer. He knew that the servants were gradually returning to everyone and could not continue to mess around with Chu Junqiu.

"I think we can be a pair of wild mandarin ducks who are as happy as gods. What do you think?" When Chu Junqiu said this, a trace of solemnity and seriousness gradually condensed in the center of Chu Junqiu's eyes. Maybe he didn't notice it himself.

"Okay, if you can destroy the Jin Yiwei!" Zi Jin smiled, and suddenly realized that Ye Mingxuan was really good at being a Jin Yiwei. His proud look was particularly bright in the sun.

Chu Junqiu looked at Yao Zijin blankly, refusing to say a word, and his expression became indifferent again, as if he had returned to the person he was just now.

Zi Jin didn't notice the change in Chu Junqiu's expression. He watched Hanmei and Shui Rong walking from the moon cave door from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Shui Rong."

"Girl?" Shui Rong was startled and hurriedly ran over.

Zi Jin pointed at Chu Junqiu and said, "This young master has lost his way. Send him out."

Shui Rong turned to look at Chu Junqiu and suddenly exclaimed: "Mr. Chu?" Shui Rong was excited when she saw her idol. She nodded and said with a smile: "Yes." She raised her head and looked at Chu Junqiu and said: "Chu

Master, please come this way, Yao Mansion is not big, how can you still get lost?"

Chu Junqiu took a deep look at Zi Jin and said casually: "I have a bad sense of direction since I was a child, and I often get lost, especially the roads in Yao Mansion all seem to be the same, and it becomes increasingly difficult to tell the difference, thank you.

"

The road in Yao Mansion seems to be different? Zi Jin's mouth twitched and she looked at Chu Junqiu without saying a word.

Chu Junqiu slowly turned around, looked at Zi Jin, her long eyes flashed slightly, and she said solemnly: "Thank you very much, Miss, for showing me the way. Chu is grateful. I will repay you in the future."

Zi Jin studied this sentence carefully. Was he hinting that he would meet again in the future?

"It's a small effort, it's not worth mentioning. Mr. Chu doesn't need to worry about it. Don't take it as a reward, just don't make a plot." Zi Jin nodded gently, and after saying this, he turned around and left. Han Mei followed Zi Jin hurriedly.

.

Chu Junqiu looked at Zi Jin's back, was he planning something? Maybe!

******

Zi Jin returned to the front hall, where all the guests were saying goodbye one by one. Zi Jin accompanied Haishi to see off the guests, and was busy for a while before he stopped. Before Wei Mingzhu left, he whispered: "When you have time"

Come and play at my house."

Zi Jin smiled and nodded: "I'll definitely bother you when I get the chance."

Wei Mingzhu followed Mrs. Wei into the carriage and left. Yao Yue went back early with her children at home. Yao Xue helped her drunken husband get into the carriage. Yao Bing glanced at Zi Jin suspiciously.

He said in her ear: "I heard some rumors at the table just now about you and Brother Ye. Please take good care of yourself."

Zi Jin was stunned, Chu Junqiu moved so fast? It shouldn't be possible, so he asked: "What rumors?"

"It seems that Brother Ye refused to marry and went south because of you, but is it true?" Yao Bing asked with a frown.

"Do you believe it?" Zi Jin asked with a smile, feeling relieved that it turned out to be Chu Junqiu's hands and feet.

"You and Brother Ye? Only a ghost can believe it." Yao Bing said, no matter how much he thought about it, he thought it was impossible.

"That's it, why worry about it?" Zi Jin smiled.

"Yes, I'm really worried. Okay, I'm leaving too. You should rest early after a tiring day." Yao Bing squinted his eyes and smiled. When he saw Zheng Yuan coming to pick her up in the backyard, he quickly left Zi Jin.

Welcoming them, the couple bid farewell to Hai Shi sweetly and left with the old lady. Zi Jin rolled her eyes, this guy forgot about his girl when he had a man.

Yao Yutang's girl came over to reply, and the fourth uncle also drank too much. The fourth girl helped the fourth uncle into the carriage first, and came back another day to apologize to the old lady. Haishi smiled and said: "There are so many things, take good care of your uncle."

It's business, let her just go back with peace of mind."

The little girl agreed with a smile and went about her business.

Zi Jin supported the old lady and said, "Grandma, you have been tired for a day. You should rest." Madam Ye had gone back a long time ago. The elderly lady didn't bother and left so quietly that Zi Jin didn't even know.

The old lady nodded and let Zi Jin send her back. Mother Lu had already made the bed, and the two of them supported the old lady to rest. Zi Jin then walked out, followed closely by Mother Lu, giving instructions

Xuexu went in and listened to the noise. If the old lady was drinking tea or something, she couldn't be alone. Xuexu responded and saluted the two of them before running in quickly.

When Lu's mother took Zi Jin out, Zi Jin whispered about the old lady's condition today, how much she had eaten, how much water she drank, and whether she felt any discomfort. The old lady's body had always been well maintained. She ate a certain amount and drank a lot.

Tea is very particular. If you drink too much, you will not be able to sleep. If you drink too little, the old lady will be unhappy. When drinking tea becomes a habit, you can only slowly think of ways to make the old lady drink less.
