156: The so-called rival in love is used to eliminate him. When he came to Xijintang, he found Du Ruo ingenious ways and said that he had concerns. Du Ruo followed Zijin for a long time and came back to work as a job after the Chinese New Year. Unexpectedly, he was found to be pregnant after only a month of returning. Now he is just doing some of the lightest things in the old lady's yard.

After hearing the delicate words, Du Ruo frowned and said, "Miss Five is the most kind, but Shuirong is the girl she has been young. Don't be too troublesome, the girl will deal with it yourself, and you may even complain if you have too much trouble. What's more, the girl is actually the most destined to look at her, so don't mess with people. To be honest, the fifth girl is the best for the servants. Jingbai in the eldest young master's yard was originally a life of being a wife, but the girl told her about love. Now she has married a small manager and returned to the eldest young master's yard to work as a job. The eldest young master

Grandma also values ​​her very much now, and her future for this generation has been saved. If Jingbai really has a wife, you say that the eldest young lady is just a kind person, and she is just a love for her. How can she have the face now? Jingbai and our five girls are just a love relationship for each other. Girls can talk to her. You have to think of your own ideas. I am now working in the old lady's yard and can never follow the girl again. You will definitely marry with the girl. What should you do and how to do? You must have a scale in your heart. Don't fill yourself in at that time."

Xianqiao broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this. She grabbed Du Ruo's hand and said gratefully: "Good sister, thank you for enlightening me. You are right. We servants must do our duty and must not do anything beyond the rules. Shui Rong has a deep relationship with the girl, unlike me who became a monk halfway through the journey and has a short time to follow her, and some words are unspeakable no matter what."

Du Ruo smiled and said, "As long as you are dedicated to the good of the girl, the girl will naturally not treat you poorly. What's more, being a slave is a matter of duty to work hard for the master, but you just have to remember one sentence that the master's face is given by the master. If you offend the master, you will be nothing."

Seiqiu remembered it hard and talked to Du Ruo for a while, then went back. Du Ruo looked at Seiqiu's back and was a little dazed. He reached out to touch his belly. If it weren't for this child, maybe she would have the chance to follow her when she got married this time. I'm afraid she won't be able to succeed now. There are disappointments. A master like a girl, following her is a blessing to be a slave.

Zi Jin tossed and turned and didn't sleep well all night. He thought about going to the princess's mansion, but he didn't want to go. It actually had nothing to do if he saw him or not. The most important thing is that if he went there, a smart person like Wu Zhen naturally knew why he went there. Since he wanted to marry him, he could never do anything beyond the rules. But as long as he thought that Ye Mingxuan might wait for him all day, he was so uncomfortable that he accidentally caught a cold at night. He got a fever before dawn. He was drowsy, and he felt that people were coming and going in front of the bed, but he didn't know who had been there. He was in a daze and half asleep and half awake, and he felt that the figure was hazy.

Wei Mingzhu looked at Zi Jin on the bed and snatched a handkerchief to apply it to her forehead to cool down. The little girl outside had already boiled medicine, and the heavy smell of medicine was blown in by the wind. The old lady and Hai sat aside and asked about the doctor Zi Jin's specific situation.

"...It was cold at night, and the cold air invaded the body. The girl had just recovered from a serious illness, so she couldn't stand it. It would be fine if she took medicine for three days according to the prescription." The doctor said as he prescribed the prescription and handed it to the girl beside him. Yao Qian reached out to take it and looked at it and handed it to the old lady. The old lady ordered someone to get the medicine, and Yao Changjie personally sent the doctor out.

"Five girls have always been healthy, so why do they always get sick and disasters before and after the New Year? When she recovers, her wife will go to the temple to sautumn." Hai said to the old lady.

The old lady nodded and looked at Aunt Wu who stood under the eaves and did not dare to enter the house. Aunt Wu came in with tears in her eyes to salute. The old lady said, "Your wife is busy with housework all day long and cannot get out of here. You are his aunt here in Wuya, so she will help take care of her. Just say whatever is missing."

Aunt Wu was overjoyed and hurriedly put the old lady and Hai. The aunt who was not as a mistress spoke, so who dared to serve her? Although she was her own child, the rules were set.

Everyone came back after they had sex. The old lady stood in front of the tent and looked at Zi Jin's increasingly thin face, frowned tightly. The marriage must have been sick for two consecutive days. This girl was really mean. She sighed in her heart and walked out slowly.

Zi Jin was confused and didn't know how long she had slept. When she woke up, it was already dark and there was no light in the room. She felt that she couldn't see anything clearly. Zi Jin reached out to caress her forehead, slowly sat up, and raised the curtain. She saw a figure sitting in front of the round table in the bedroom, hazy and faint, and could not see clearly, but she knew that there was a person there.

Zi Jin only felt that the figure was very familiar and shouted tentatively: "Wu Zhen?"

The figure in the dark moved and immediately stood up and walked towards Zi Jin. She groped out the fire and lit the glazed palace lantern at the bedside. The room immediately became brighter. Zi Jin looked at the glazed palace lantern in silence. There was no such thing in the room, and looked at Wu Zhen in front of her in confusion.

Wu Zhen seemed a little haggard, and smiled at Zi Jin's eyes, "It's a lantern I used to hold. I heard from the girls that you like reading books at night. This one is brighter and will not hurt your eyes. It's used for you."

Zi Jin's rationality slowly returned to his position, looked at Wu Zhen and asked, "Why are you here?" Logically speaking, this is Zi Jin's boudoir, Wu Zhen can't come in, how did he come in?

"You are sick, I beg the old lady to come in and see you. We will get married sooner or later." Wu Zhen smiled slightly and looked at Zi Jin with a gentle look.

Zi Jin looked at Wu Zhen and always felt something was buried behind his smile. Zi Jin felt that he seemed to be dazzled, and after looking closely, he disappeared. He took back his mind. Since the old lady agreed, Zi Jin couldn't say anything else, so he had to whisper: "Thank you."

Wu Zhen's beautiful eyebrows rose up, with a slight displeasure, "You must be so unfamiliar with me? A Zi, you will be my wife who has been with me for the rest of my life. I hope you can put me in the most fair position and give me a chance to get close to you, okay? I don't care about the past, because you have known Ye Mingxuan for almost ten years, and I can't get close to the time that once belonged to you. So at least in the next few decades, you will always have my company in your life, okay?"

Wu Zhen's extremely expressionless eyes stared at Zi Jin quietly. Zi Jin felt that he could not even say a word of rejection. Wu Zhen and Ye Mingxuan are two completely different beauties. Ye Mingxuan's handsomeness is the sharpness of a soldier. Wu Zhen's beauty is the banished immortal with a gentle ink in the gentle water town of Jiangnan. When such a man put away his sharpness and showed his gentleness, Zi Jin felt that his heart was beating faster without competing.

There is a kind of heart that has nothing to do with love. When it comes, it is like a sea of ​​overwhelming force and unstoppable. When it leaves, it seems like the tide is receding in the sea, completely clean.

Zi Jin subconsciously stroked his heart and tried to squeeze out a smile. Even if Zi Jin didn't look in the mirror, he knew that his face must be pale and haggard at this moment, a female ghost and a male immortal... Zi Jin couldn't help laughing.

Wu Zhen raised his eyebrows, as if he was dissatisfied, "What I said is so ridiculous?"

Zi Jin shook her head, feeling that the sadness in her body was much restrained in front of such a man who was as beautiful as a banished immortal. She had no way to hate such a man, such a man who was as gentle as water to her, not to mention that Zi Jin felt that she was not worthy of the man in front of her.

That is a psychological barrier that can be easily overcome.

"I was just thinking that I must be as pale as a female ghost at this moment, but the man sitting in front of me was as beautiful as a banished immortal. Isn't it the difference between heaven and earth between you and me?" Zi Jin said what he had just said. It seemed that this was the first time such a relaxed conversation since the two met. Perhaps because of the serious illness, people will always be weak, so they quietly took off their guards.

It seemed that Zi Jin's happy tone surprised Wu Zhen. He looked at Zi Jin and smiled and said, "You are the most beautiful in my heart."

...Zi Jin was stunned for a moment, and silently lowered her head. In fact, she had a lot to say to Wu Zhen, but she didn't know where to start. The two seemed to be in a strange balance and did not dare to touch the wound between the two that they didn't want to dig. Ye Mingxuan was the wound that they could not touch.

"Wu Zhen..."

"Call me Junqiu, Chu is my mother's surname." Wu Zhen looked at Zi Jin quietly. Although his expression was elegant, he had a solemnity that could not be ignored.

Zi Jin didn't understand why Wu Zhen used this name to sing opera outside, but looking at Wu Zhen's solemn expression, there must be a story inside. Zi Jin didn't want to ask, but just nodded silently and said, "Okay."

The two of them became quiet again. Zi Jin and Wu Zhen seemed to be together except for the fierce confrontation between the two. They always had nothing to say in such a gentle relationship, and they didn't know what to say or what to say.

"In a few days, it will be February 2nd. After that day, I thought I would marry you in April, so you must take good care of your health. Do you know?" Wu Zhen broke the silence between the two and said, with a slight urination in his voice that he didn't know.

"So fast?" Zi Jin was shocked and looked up at Wu Zhen, "Will it be too fast? In fact, it can slow down..."

"I don't want to wait." Wu Zhen interrupted Zi Jin's words, a smile gently raised the corner of his mouth, and reached out to hold Zi Jin's hand. Zi Jin was stunned and subconsciously wanted to take it back. However, Wu Zhen was very strong. Zi Jin had just woken up and had no strength and didn't take it back, so he had to glar at him fiercely to express his dissatisfaction.

Wu Zhen smiled, "Seeing that you have such strength, I think your illness will be cured soon."

"We are not married yet." Zi Jin looked at Wu Zhen and held her hand.

Wu Zhen's eyes also fell on the hands of the two people, and a soft luster was covered between his eyebrows and eyes, and the smile on the corners of his mouth became deeper and deeper, "We will get married soon."

Zi Jin couldn't speak anymore. Wu Zhen looked very gentle and actually did things a little domineering, just like in front of him. Zi Jin couldn't tell him, so he had to give up. Yes, how could he pretend to be pure? He caught him kissing Ye Mingxuan. Now that he is just pulling his little hands, why are he pretending to be pretentious?

When Wu Zhen was allowed to be sent to visit me by Mrs. Yao, it can be seen that Wu Zhen was really loved by the Yao family. In this environment, Zi Jin felt that he could not object, not to mention that he could not refuse such intimacy after becoming a relative, so he slowly convinced himself to accept it and did not resist again.

Wu Zhen gently let go of Zi Jin's hand, stood up and walked out, Zi Jin wondered what he was doing? Before she could speak, Wu Zhen had disappeared behind the curtain. It took only a dozen breaths to come back, holding a carved tray of boxwood in his hand, with a small bowl of blue and white porcelain on it, and there was still heat in the bowl.

Zi Jin had already smelled the aroma of porridge, and then suddenly realized that he had brought food to him. Zi Jin watched Wu Zhen sit in front of him, holding a bowl with one hand and a spoon with the other hand and gently stirring the porridge. He used a spoon to feed him... Zi Jin hurriedly said, "I will do it myself, I will do it myself..."

This gentle... can't bear it. It seems that this is quite strange. Zi Jin always thinks that it is really strange and strange for ancient big men to do such things.

Wu Zhen did not agree, and Zi Jin never got the initiative, so he could only let Wu Zhen do this. Wu Zhen's movements were very gentle, and every spoon would blow gently to avoid burning Zi Jin. His movements were neither fast nor slow, as if the cool breeze in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River was blowing his face, and he was very comfortable.

There is a kind of man who is born to be a fatal confusion of women, and he has nothing to do with love, but only with the moon. Wu Zhen is that kind of man, so when he is Chu Junqiu, when he appears on stage, many women in the boudoir in Beijing are fascinated by him, that kind of gentle and sad charm will make you unable to help but be attracted by him.

Zi Jin also found it incredible now. Why would such a beautiful man fall in love with him? Zi Jin recalled carefully about the few meetings with Wu Zhen, but it was not very friendly. She really couldn't figure out what kind of man liked her? Is the figure under the golden osmanthus tree so charming?

Zi Jin sighed in her heart. If Wu Zhen was so tender after getting married, she really didn't know if she would really forget Ye Mingxuan one day. When she thought of Ye Mingxuan, a trace of pain passed through her heart. I wonder what he was doing at this moment?

Wu Zhen looked at Zi Jin's distractedness, and there was a trace of loneliness on his face. There was no need to guess. He also knew that Zi Jin would have such a look when he remembered that man, and she didn't know the sadness that she herself didn't know.

After feeding the porridge, Wu Zhen put down the bowl, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the residue from the corner of Zijin's mouth. He looked at her calmly, and suddenly said, "A Zi, no matter what situation I am in, I will not give up on you, so please don't let go of my hand easily. Even if I have nothing in the future, you won't care, right?"

Zi Jin looked at Wu Zhen blankly, wondering how he could say such things. However, Zi Jin felt that as someone else's fiancée, he still had to be enlightened. After thinking about it, he said, "Your and me have already made up your engagement. There is a saying: Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog, and marry a monkey. Whether it is wealth or poor, when I become your wife, I will naturally share the good and bad fortune with you and never leave you."

Zi Jin felt that this was a kind of respect for marriage. Even if she could not fall in love with Wu Zhen, at least in marriage she would do everything a wife should do, which was also a kind of morality and a reward for Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen smiled, looked at Zi Jin and said, "Okay, I will remember this sentence, remember it for a lifetime."

Zi Jin looked at Wu Zhen’s solemnity and felt a bad premonition, “Is something wrong?”

Wu Zhen shook his head and smiled gently: "A Zi, you have to know that no matter when I am the one I am most reluctant to hurt is you."

Zi Jin was still confused. I didn't know why Wu Zhen said such things. The uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. I remembered what Ye Mingxuan said before, even if you marry, I will find a way to make you a widow or an abandoned wife... She hasn't married yet. Since Ye Mingxuan has returned to the capital, he will definitely find a way to stop this marriage. Thinking of this, Zi Jin's heart suddenly tightened. Has Ye Mingxuan and Wu Zhen started fighting?

"Wu... Junqiu, is it... it..." Zi Jin could not ask after all. After all, she was hurting Wu Zhen by blurting out this way. Zi Jin felt that she was really a disaster, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Changjie said that Zi Jin is a very sensitive person. Wu Zhen looked at Zi Jin's desire to speak and knew that she must have thought of something. Suddenly, he couldn't help asking: "Who would you help me and him?"

How should I answer this question? Zi Jin doesn’t know!

Ye Mingxuan and Wu Zhen, if funds would have answered without hesitation in the past, there was no need to hesitate at all. But now, Zi Jin can no longer answer so casually. Even if she doesn’t like Wu Zhen, she cannot trample on other people’s dignity like this. In the world of love, no one can replace anyone, just like Luo Jue chasing Ye Mingxuan desperately, just like Wu Zhen falls in love with him inexplicably, just like he and Ye Mingxuan. In fact, there is nothing right or wrong in the world of love, and there is only love or not.

"I don't know, I can't answer this question." Zi Jin answered truthfully, looking up at Wu Zhen and said, "I am the most selfish woman in the world. I will use the best way to prevent myself from being hurt. So don't fantasize that if one day you have a conflict because of me, I will help one side, and no one will help me! Ye Mingxuan used to say how I would fall in love with such a cruel woman as you. I am really a cruel woman. I can't do Luo Jue's persistence in love, nor can I abandon everything for love, so you are all fools. What's the good of a woman like me? I am the most secular, most utilitarian, and most hypocritical woman. You should all let go. It's not worth it for me, and it's not worth it for a woman who won't do anything for you."

When Zi Jin said these words, she felt much more relaxed. She always felt that she was the most selfish person in the world, and she always was...

Wu Zhen slowly stood up, stretched out his hand to smooth the corner of his robe, looked at Zi Jin with a smile, but said, "I understand why Ye Mingxuan holds his hands so hard. A Zi, no woman is as honest as you, do you know? You are a concubine daughter, I am a concubine son, I have also been worried about what you have been worried about, I have been careful, I have been careful, I have been trying to protect you. You are not cruel to others, you are just cruel to yourself, just like me before. If there is anything else in this world that can separate you and me, it is something you and I want to protect you desperately. I think, maybe I have the ability to protect what I want to protect, so you and I will never be separated for the rest of your life."

Zi Jin was a little dizzy when Wu Zhen said that, and his mind was tied to pieces.

Looking at Zi Jin's confused eyes, Wu Zhen smiled slightly, "The second day of the second month is our little decisive day. I hope to see you the same as before." After saying this, Wu Zhen looked at Zi Jin and said, "It is destined to be impossible between you and Ye Mingxuan. The Luo family is determined to win this marriage. Ye Mingxuan cannot disobey Mrs. Ye, or betray the family, so he cannot give you the happiness. I hope I can give it to you."

Wu Zhen left, Zi Jin became more confused, but his heart became more determined. Ye Mingxuan must have taken action, otherwise Wu Zhen would not say that in the end. What he wanted to protect and what he wanted to protect, could Ye Mingxuan attack the Jinghai Hou family?

However, the Jinghai Hou family has made great contributions to the court and the country. Even if the court has any warnings about Jinghai Hou, they are afraid that they will not make any moves that disrupt the people's hearts at this time.

But when Wu Zhen's tone was clearly what Ye Mingxuan did. Ye Mingxuan wanted to take away what Wu Zhen was protecting and forced Wu Zhen to give up this marriage. However, Wu Zhen was confident that he could deal with it. Zi Jin could do nothing in the time and space where the news was relatively blocked. There was no other way except waiting quietly.

Zi Jin might not know anything about the outside news from Yao Changjie, but Zi Jin didn't want to disturb Yao Changjie anymore, because the spring exam in March is very important and important to Yao Changjie. Now, the Yao Mansion is not careful when passing by Jingyuan, for fear of disturbing Changjie's study. How could Zi Jin do something that distracts him at this time?

Is it really God's will? Zi Jin smiled bitterly. At this time, the Yao family recognized Wu Zhen's son-in-law, and Ye Mingxuan could not contact him. Wu Zhen was also very meticulous in his work. In addition to comforting Zi Jin, he did not leak any words. The elder brother who could rely on had to prepare for the spring examination at this time. As for Yao Qian, Zi Jin could not ask if he was beaten to death.

All the roads have been blocked, and Zi Jin suddenly felt like he was left to fate.

*******

Wu Zhen bid farewell to the Yao Mansion and came out. It was already pitch black outside the Yao Mansion. On the long street, except for the red lanterns hanging on the streets on both sides, there was a little light. Even the stars in the sky disappeared, making them even more desolate.

He turned over and ran straight to the horse, waved his whip, and left the entrance of the alley, and saw a figure waiting for him outside the alley.

The man turned his back to the entrance of the alley, with his hands behind him, standing in the darkness, his whole body was like a sword about to be unsheathed, unable to ignore the faint light. Wu Zhen's mind tightened and he held the horse, but he didn't say anything, except for the sound of horse hooves and neighing.

Wu Zhen raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, turned over and got off the horse, threw the reins casually, walked forward a few steps, five or six steps away from the black shadow, and then smiled and said, "I think who blocked the way down. It turned out to be Lord Ye. I don't know what advice Lord Ye has?"

In the darkness, the figure slowly turned around, and when he looked closely with the slight light, it was Ye Mingxuan!

"I dare not take the advice, but I just want to tell Mr. Wu San." Ye Mingxuan's eyes were unfathomable, just like the unpredictable danger in this dark night.

"Wu listened attentively." Wu Zhen said lightly, with a faint sarcasm on his beautiful and innocent face. I don't know who this sarcasm is mocking.

"I will give you two choices. First, give up Yao Zijin, then I will try my best to preserve the glory of the Jinghai Hou family; second, the taste of the punishment wine. If you are obsessed with it, I don't mind letting you taste it."

"Is that true? Lord Ye really said a lot. My Wu family has always been loyal to the emperor and the people. Everyone knows it. Why are you afraid of it? It's just that Lord Ye is threatening this way, and it seems a bit despicable."

"It's even worse than you. Master Wu San, in fact, you should follow your previous path, get rid of the shackles of the Wu family, and live your own free and easy life. Don't you like to sing operas? Don't you like to be free and unrestrained? Don't you hate the people of the Wu family? You shouldn't give up what you wanted most and come to compete with me for my woman."

"Mr. Ye's words are really ridiculous. Your woman? Do you have a engagement with her? Or have your grandmother agreed to let you marry her into the house? Your own family members dare to say this without persuasion. Don't you think this is Yelang's arrogant? The most important thing is that I have an engagement with her now. In the near future, we will announce the marriage to the public. In April, we will get married. Lord Ye can come to have a wedding when he has free time."

"I'm afraid you have no life to stay in the bridal chamber."

"That depends on whether Lord Ye has the ability. I know that you Jinyiwei is powerful, but it is probably a bit difficult for Jinyiwei to defeat Marquis Jinghai." Wu Zhen looked at Ye Mingxuan with a smile, his eyes full of contempt.

Ye Mingxuan laughed instead of anger, looked at Wu Zhen, and said with a smile: "You are much more courageous than your legitimate brothers. I heard that the battle at sea was your forward, but unfortunately the final contribution was not yours."

It was indeed not his. He was snatched away by his legitimate brothers. Who would care about a concubine at that time?
To be continued...
