Chapter six hundred and sixty sixth unexpected beauty
"Zihou, congratulations."
"You were able to act freely inside, which made Vincent and I very worried outside. Fortunately, there was no danger."
As soon as Zhu Pingan came out of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, he saw Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei waiting outside the door. The two walked over with a smile, and each of them gave Zhu Pingan a gentle kiss on the shoulder. Then the three of them looked at each other and laughed together.
When I got up, everything was silent.
Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei had been waiting outside, and at noon they just asked their entourage to deliver some light meals. To be honest, the two of them were worried about Zhu Pingan outside, especially after Yan Shifan walked into the Yamen of the Criminal Department, they were even more worried.
It was doubled. Later, after Master Xu Jie entered the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, the two of them were less worried. Thinking that the court looked at Master Xu Jie's face, they would be more merciful when punishing Zhu Ping'an.
As for today's result, the two of them never expected it. Before making a statement, Zhu Pingan said that he was ready, so that the two of them did not have to worry. Both of them felt that Zhu Pingan was comforting them.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Ping'an not only talked about it, but also actually did it, and even reached a level that neither of them had imagined.
In this way, it becomes clear.
But unfortunately, there is a ban from the court, and there are also several Jin Yiwei following closely behind, so having dinner or something like that is out of the question. We can only wait until the results of the Chen Qing case are announced. There is a long way to go, so it is not bad.
This moment.
So, Zhu Ping'an and his party walked and chatted all the way to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
When he was about to reach Gonghou Street, Zhu Ping'an's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated a bit. It was a very strange feeling.
As if on a whim.
It was as if something was calling him from the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
"What's wrong, Zihou?" Wang Shizhen asked upon seeing this.
"It's nothing." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and didn't care. Maybe he was walking in a hurry and his heartbeat was a little faster.
Turning into Gonghou Street, Linhuaihou Mansion is just around the corner.
Suddenly I felt something strange.
There was a rush of people in front of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, including maids, old ladies, housekeepers, and servants. Ten or twenty people were waiting eagerly at the gate.
"Miss, Miss, my uncle is back"
I heard a familiar voice in the distance and saw someone coming to greet me at the door. The door of the Hou Mansion also became lively.
Although the attitude of everyone in the Hou Mansion towards him was different from the past, they had never been so enthusiastic. Zhu Pingan was welcomed to the door suspiciously.
Then
His attention was attracted by the most dazzling pretty girl in the crowd. She stood gracefully at the door, wearing a light red Yuehua Ru skirt with a plain gold border, giving off a sense of nobility; the dress was embroidered with red
plum blossoms, Dongzhu pendants hung in her ears, her face became more and more radiant, her dark eyes were lively and bright, her red lips were not dotted but red, and her beauty was a bit unearthly.
stand there
Red lips and white teeth
Fairy and pretty
Such a peerless beauty is like a fairy descending to earth. She is so beautiful that it is difficult not to attract attention.
Zhu Ping'an was stunned at the door for a moment.
"My husband is back."
The pretty girl smiled softly, bowed gracefully, and led a few girls and old ladies to greet her. She exuded the air of a lady.
She has a beautiful voice, as sweet as a lark, which makes people feel like listening to fairy music and makes them feel indescribably comfortable. This call of "husband" makes people's bones brittle.
Husband?
Zhu Pingan didn't realize that he was already married to Li Shu, and it always felt like a dream. The arrogant and sinister girl who called him poor and a toad back then turned out to be his.
Wife, when I think about it, it feels unreal, like smoke and a dream.
In the eyes of Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei, Zhu Pingan was crazy about joy. No wonder Zhu Pingan looked distracted when he was about to enter Gonghou Street. It turned out that he knew that his beloved wife was returning from her hometown today.
A little separation is better than a newlywed, you know, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
After hearing the kind laughter of Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen, Zhu Pingan reacted belatedly, his face turned red, and he briefly introduced Zhang Siwei, Wang Shizhen, Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others.
Li Shu lowered her head, put her slender hand on her left waist, slightly bent her knees to greet a few people.
Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen returned the favor with their hands.
Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others claimed to have met the mistress. After saluting and saying hello, they were taken aside by the steward of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
"Zihou, we won't disturb you at such a beautiful time. We will make up for your wedding gift another day."
Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen laughed and joked, then said goodbye and left.
They were happy for Zhu Pingan in their hearts. In their eyes, Li Shu, the fifth lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, was a standard lady, with a sense of nobility in every move she made, and she was very caring about her husband.
The brazier, grapefruit water, etc. have been prepared. She is a virtuous and caring person. What more can I ask for from such a stunning beauty? Zhu Ping'an is really lucky.
When the young couple reunited as newlyweds, they would surely have endless sweet words to say, so Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen said goodbye and left with a wink.
"Ahem, you're back. Why don't you stay at home for a few more days?"
Under the public gaze, Zhu Ping'an looked at the beautiful lady close at hand, his heart beat a little faster. He had never been in love in his last life, so his experience value was too low. He was usually very articulate, but now he didn't know how to speak. He held it in for a long time.
I said something and regretted it as soon as I said it. It seemed that I had said the wrong thing, as if I didn't want to see the person I said.
"Why, you're not welcome?"
Li Shu pouted her red mouth and said coquettishly, her energy was as bright as orchid, her eyes were lively, and when she looked around, she had a playful spirit of an elf.
"Ahem, no, no." Zhu Pingan hurriedly explained.
"You said, I want to come. My father is busy with business, and he went to the south to take charge of the business within a few days of home. My mother-in-law was worried that you would not be taken care of in the capital alone, worried that you would not be able to eat well, and worried that you would not be well dressed, so she urged me to come. I
I was stubborn but had no choice but to come." Li Shu glanced at Zhu Ping'an who was blushing, rolled her eyes arrogantly, and said in a sweet voice.
When the little maid Baozi heard this, she lowered her head and looked at her toes.
It seems that the master's business is not very busy. It was the young lady who said she wanted pearl powder from the South China Sea for beauty, and urged the master to go to the south to buy pearls.
However, what the young lady said must be reasonable. Little maid Baozi lowered her little head and nodded vigorously.
Zhu Ping'an looked at Li Shu and smiled slightly. He could guess something from the look on the little maid's face, but he didn't point out what Li Shu said.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Li Shu pursed her lips at Zhu Ping'an.
"My uncle must have been so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he saw the young lady, right?" The little maid Baozi giggled at the side.
"If you keep talking nonsense, look carefully at your skin." Li Shu sneered, stretched out her slender hands and pinched the fat cheeks of Baozi's little maid.
"Hehe, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again next time." Baozi's little maid begged for mercy in a cowardly manner.
After laughing, the old woman came over and asked Li Shu if her uncle had stepped over the brazier. Li Shu nodded. Then a steward came over with several burning logs and put them into the bronze brazier. Soon
The pieces of dry sandalwood placed in the brazier ignited, and white smoke rose in curls.
"Uncle, it's time to step over the brazier to get rid of bad luck." The little maid from Baozi urged Zhu Ping'an by tugging on his sleeve.
"Why are you so particular?" Zhu Pingan shook his head and smiled.
"Jump!" Li Shu pursed her lips, revealing her little fangs.
Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to smile slightly, lift up the hem of his clothes with his hands, and take a big step across the brazier.
"Crossing the brazier, the mold will be burned away, everything will be prosperous and smooth." The old woman was mumbling to herself as Zhu Ping'an stepped across the brazier.
then
The steward at the door lit the two hanging red firecrackers and set them off.
crackling
There was a sound.
Maybe girls are a little afraid of firecrackers, and Li Shu is no exception. She, Baozi, the little maid, and others lowered their heads and covered their ears to hide.
at this time
A pair of warm hands covered Li Shu's hands, covering Li Shu's ears, pressing her head into his arms, blocking the sound of firecrackers behind her.
Li Shu looked at the familiar clothing material and did not dodge. She just snorted slightly, as if to express her displeasure, but a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
