"I think this is not the only way you can repay your kindness. If you are an official in the court, you will have many opportunities to repay your kindness in the future. When Jiuer marries you, it is considered a marriage, and she marries you to repay her kindness..."
"Besides, our qualifications are relatively young and we will most likely have to be sent out. We won't be able to see each other for three to five years. After a long time, accidents will inevitably happen. Miss Jiu'er, aren't you worried that he will be out drinking and messing around?"
Speaking so vulgarly in front of Shen Moran, Jiu Er sighed and cursed: "You are still the number one scholar. You speak so vulgarly. Do you deserve to be the number one scholar? If the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, he will do whatever he likes." His own affairs have nothing to do with me!"
Zhou Yuan hurriedly expressed his position: "Miss Jiuer, don't worry, I will definitely keep myself clean and respect myself, and I will never..."
"Don't speak so absolutely." Zhang Jin reminded, "How can you, a dull person who only knows how to study, imagine how dark the officialdom is? There are many ways for others to make you submit. I am the one who believes in you, Brother Zhou. Good character, but a gentleman cannot resist the villain's schemes."
"What will you do when the time comes? With Jiu'er girl by your side, you can still have an excuse to refuse when someone gives you a girl, and Jiu'er girl can also supervise you..."
It’s not that Zhou Yuan really didn’t understand. He didn’t understand before, but after what happened, how could he not understand?
He had read Sun Tzu's Art of War and knew that Zhang Jin was helping him and using the method of provoking generals, but Jiu'er didn't know.
"Brother Zhang, stop talking. I have already made an agreement with Miss Jiu'er. You don't have to interfere in this matter." He was afraid that Jiu'er would misunderstand, so he explained, "Brother Zhang's words, Miss Jiu'er don't need to take it to heart. Since we have made an agreement, Okay, if Zhou can't do it, then let the girl do whatever she wants!"
"Well..." Shen Moran interrupted, "Since you and Jiu'er have already agreed on your marriage, I won't interfere."
She couldn't get involved either... she added silently in her mind.
But from this point of view, Zhou Yuan is a gentleman, and she can feel relieved to entrust Jiuer to him.
This delay caused her to distance herself from Shen Mingshu, and she could not see where the two of them were going.
"The scenery is beautiful today. I don't need so many people here. I'll give Jiu'er a half-day holiday. Bitao, Changying, you two will accompany me to the peach forest."
"Princess, I don't need a holiday..."
Zhou Yuan grinned and said, "Thank you so much, Princess!"
Zhang Jinle saw the success and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, I have to go and ask for a peace charm for my aunt. Let's meet in front of the mountain gate later."
Shen Moran was thinking about the old monk he met yesterday, and walked deep into the peach forest with Changying and Bitao. He didn't know how long he walked, walking in circles in the forest, which made Bitao so tired that he couldn't straighten his back.
"Miss, what are you looking for?"
Shen Moran was also tired, so he asked Changying to climb a tree to identify the direction, and was sure it was nearby. However, he asked the guards to disperse and look for it. They also circled several times, but they didn't see the stone niche.
"How strange!"
"What's weird?" Bi Tao looked up at the sun setting on the top of the mountain, "If you don't go back, it will get dark!"
It seemed that today was going to be a waste of time. Shen Moran took a deep breath and had to give up.
"Go back."
The way back was extraordinarily long. After walking for a long time, I didn't get out of the back mountain. The sun went down, and the last ray of sunlight fell on the other side of the mountain. Shen Moran couldn't walk anymore. Bi Tao was even more sure that she was looking for something.
I don’t know what is so important...
"This slave will carry you on my back."
Changying half-crouched in front of her and picked her up on his back. When they returned to their residence, it was almost dark.
Yin Yue stood in front of the door. Bi Tao was so tired that she was about to die. Her legs gave out and she almost fell to pieces and chewed the mud. Fortunately, Yin Yue had quick eyesight and quick hands to help her.
Shen Moran asked: "His Highness is back?"
The hidden moon lifted up Bitao.
"No, Your Highness has gone to evening classes. You haven't come back before dinner. His Highness is worried about you and asked his subordinates to wait here. You will inform him as soon as you come back. Are you okay?"
Shen Moran was just tired and not injured.
"It's okay, please don't be distracted, His Highness."
The monks had no free time from morning to night. The first day was a bit difficult. Shen Moran didn't have the talent, so he stopped joining in the fun.
"Has His Royal Highness Prince Yu also been sitting there all day?"
Yin Yue answered yes.
"I have nothing to do here. You can go back and guard His Highness."
When she was with Zhou Yu, she felt uneasy about not having another accident.
Yinyue took the order and left.
"I will go and fetch some water for you to soak your feet and relieve your fatigue."
Bi Tao really wanted to lie down on the bed, but she forced herself to get up and work. Changying was a martial arts practitioner, and she didn't feel tired even after carrying Shen Moran for such a long distance. She grabbed the water basin and said, "I'll go, you have a rest." .”
"You carried the princess all the way, it's better for me to go..."
The two were fighting over each other when Jiuer came in carrying a bucket of hot water.
The three of them looked at each other, Bitao smiled and joked: "Jiu'er, we stay together every day, and we never see you leave the house. When did you get along with Tanhua Lang?"
Jiu'er poured water for Shen Moran's feet and didn't want to talk to her.
"Even the princess has noticed it, can't you silly Bitao?" Changying teased, "From that time we met on the street, Jiuer stuffed the scholar with a bag of silver without telling us, and then the two of them We have been in contact with each other all the time. After the list was announced, people immediately came to tell Jiuer the good news!"
"Our princess also had someone copy the list. Jiu'er already knew that he was in high school. When they came to announce the good news, Jiu'er used a month's silver to give him a set of the Four Treasures of the Study..."
Bi Tao let out a long oh, and stretched out her hand to Chang Ying before Jiu Er's eye knife flew towards her.
"Changying, please help me. If Jiuer is angry, you have to help me block it!"
Shen Moran opened his mouth to help Jiu Er: "Okay, stop talking nonsense! You two go down and have a rest. Let Jiu Er be the errand tonight."
Bi Tao limped out of the room, holding her long tassel.
"Slave, thank you, Princess, for rescuing the siege."
Jiu Er looked shy, Shen Moran had something to tell her.
"Zhou Yuan is a talented person. His Highness and I want to win over him. Zhang Jin is right about what he said. If you are really in love with him, marrying him will be regarded as repaying your kindness. But I won't force you to make your own decision."
Jiu Er said seriously: "I know that the princess wants to help us, but there are no rules. I don't want the princess to break the rules for me."
"The slaves and Chang Ying are the first batch to come out. They want to make you and Master Si look good."
Shen Moran was moved by this silly girl.
"A Luo would be happy for you if he knew you were so competitive."
The most taboo thing in a girl's family is to risk life or death for a man, so the people A Luo chose are all very similar to A Luo.
Clear right from wrong, independent and assertive.
There was a knock at the door.
Cui Tingting saw no one in the yard and came in directly.
"Princess Princess."
Jiu Er went out and led her in.
"I was just talking to Mingshu. As I walked, I realized that I was separated from you and couldn't find you. I was very worried. Why did you come back now? Are you okay?"
Is she here to show her kindness?
Shen Moran smiled and said: "It's okay. I got lost. I didn't come out until now, which made you worry."
Cui Tingting said happily: "It's okay, let's go out together. If you make any mistake, how can we explain it to His Highness King Zhan... By the way, Ming Shu is also worried about you. She is also tired and cannot come to visit in person. "
Not forgetting to slander Shen Mingshu in front of her, there was finally some color in the plain and boring life.
"It's okay. Mingshu is now Princess Yu, and her status is different, but we are biological sisters after all, and I can't argue with her about these details. What do you think, Cousin Cui?"
