Mrs. Wang's words made Mrs. Zhou suddenly open her eyes unexpectedly.

"You mean that leather was given to the Dong girl by him?"

"Stay close to each other," Mother Wang replied, "My servant heard that since the Dong family came to Beijing, the third master has been running to the Dong family frequently. And it's not just yesterday, Lin Zhong has been going to the Dong family for several days in a row. "

Zhou recalled carefully, "I met the mother and daughter of the Dong family at the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Mrs. Anhou that day. The girl's appearance was indeed outstanding. I didn't expect that she would be targeted by that evildoer."

"Speaking of which, Third Master has reached the age where he should start a family..."

Mother Wang was interrupted by Mrs. Zhou before she could finish her words, "Although the Dong family has no foundation in Beijing, Mr. Dong is deeply attached to the Holy Spirit. He is now a third-rank official and is very likely to be promoted again in the future. That villain's wishful thinking has been defeated." Well done, I not only found a beauty but also found a clean wife."

Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly, "I won't let him get what he wants. Why does he want to marry the daughter of an important official in the court? He is only worthy of a slut in a brothel!"

"Madam, calm down." Mother Wang picked up the tea cup on the table and handed it to Mrs. Zhou.

Zhou took it and took a sip.

Seeing that her face had improved, Mother Wang hesitated and said: "But the third master has never listened to anyone, and he can't even control the marquis. Now he is a person who has a lot of face in front of the Holy Lord. If my wife wants to interfere with the third master's marriage, I'm afraid she will Not easy."

"Even if he is the King of Heaven, I am also his legitimate mother!" Mrs. Zhou raised her voice, "Parents have always made the decision on children's marriage. It is only natural for me to intervene. Even if this matter comes before the Holy Emperor, I will take care of it!"

Mother Wang hurriedly followed: "Madam is right, the third master wants to marry the girl from the Dong family, so why not

You have to ask the lady. If he ignores the common etiquette, no serious family will be willing to marry their own girl to her. "

Mrs. Zhou smiled proudly, "Just wait and see, I will never let him be satisfied."

After waiting for several days and not seeing someone from Lu Siheng come to the door, Dong Jiafu thought for a while and asked Xia Zhi to take the fur and return it to him.

It was inconvenient to go to the Zhongjing Hou Mansion, so she decided to try her luck at Lu Siheng's house.

When we arrived at the house, the door was unexpectedly closed.

Dong Jiafu stepped forward and patted the door a few times before stepping back and waiting.

Not long after, the door opened. Lin Zhong was slightly startled when he saw Dong Jiafu. When his eyes turned to the box in Xia Zhi's hand, his eyes lit up.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Dong?" Lin Zhong saluted Dong Jiafu.

Dong Jiafu nodded, "Do you know me?"

Lin Zhong explained with a smile, "The young one is the entourage of the third master. It was the young one who gave the girl something for the third master a few days ago."

At this point, Lin Zhong came to his senses, pointed at the box and asked, "Girl, what is this?"

"I wonder if Mr. Lu is here?"

"The Third Master hasn't come back yet, but he said he would come here today, so he should be back soon." Lin Zhong immediately turned sideways and asked, "Girl, you might as well come in and sit for a while."

"No, since Mr. Lu is not here, it doesn't matter if I give you the stuff." Dong Jiafu signaled to Xia Zhi, "Please return this fur to Mr. Lu."

Xia Zhi walked to Lin Zhong holding the box.

Lin Zhong quickly took a step back and said, "The third master gave this to the girl. I don't dare to accept it."

"In that case, I can't make things difficult for you," Dong Jiafu turned around and said, "Xia Zhi, put your things at the door and let's go back."

Xia Zhi didn't hesitate at all when he heard the words, he bent down to take the

Put the box down.

"I can't do it, I can't do it -" Lin Zhong was so frightened that he held the bottom of the box with both hands, "Put it here. It's hard to explain to the third master when he comes back."

"Just say that I insisted on putting it here, and I believe Mr. Lu will not blame you." Dong Jiafu said.

"Impossible..."

Just when the two were in a stalemate, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near.

Lin Zhong looked over and breathed a sigh of relief, then ran over to lead the horse, "Third Master, you are back, Miss Dong..."

"Jiafu!" Before Lin Zhong finished speaking, Lu Siheng, who had already seen Dong Jiafu dismounting as light as a swallow, said in surprise, "You are here, why don't you go in?"

After saying that, he turned around and said, "Lin Zhong——"

"Don't blame him," Dong Jiafu saw him frowning and hurriedly said, "You're not here because I didn't intend to go in."

After Lu Siheng heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Now that I'm back, come in and sit down."

"No need to bother, I'm here to return your things."

Only then did Lu Siheng see the box held by Xia Zhi on the side.

"Jiafu, don't you like it?"

Dong Jiafu said truthfully: "I'm not used to using animal skins. Besides, this thing is worth a lot of money at first sight. I can't accept it."

Lu Siheng paused and then said, "I was negligent and didn't understand your preferences clearly. Since you don't like them, I will never give you such things again."

"Lin Zhong——"

Lin Zhong understood and immediately came over to take the box.

"Thank you for the pastries you sent me a few days ago." Dong Jiafu looked away from the box and said.

"It's good that you're not angry."

"The things have been delivered, it's time for me to go back." Dong Jiafu turned around.

Lu Siheng opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't

What to say, watched her get on the carriage, and watched her leave.

Lin Zhong glanced at the box in his hand and said puzzledly: "Why did the third master take the things back without even trying to persuade Miss Dong? This is the finest snow fox fur. If you use it to make necklaces or make When it comes to clothes, you will definitely be envied by others when you wear them.”

Lu Siheng looked at the carriage far away, "She is not the kind of person who likes to show off. If she says she doesn't like it, then she really doesn't like it. Why should I force it on others?"

"Then this guy..."

"Put it away." Lu Siheng turned around and walked back to the house.

Lin Zhong shook his head behind him, still feeling it was a pity, but seeing Miss Dong today, she was indeed the third master's favorite.

Two days later, the first snowfall of winter fell in the capital. The snowfall was not heavy and could only cover the ground with a dazzling white layer.

Dong Jiafu's second storybook was also completed on this day.

Dong Jialin ran over as soon as he got the news, "Afu——"

Dong Jiafu knew that he was anxious, so she gave him the storybook as soon as he entered the door, "I kept you waiting for a long time."

"It doesn't matter, I'm willing to wait as long as you want." Dong Jialin still couldn't wait to take the script.

He flipped it casually, and the smile on his face became even brighter, "As Afu said, more and more people are asking if there is a new storybook these days, and many people come here specially after hearing the introduction from others. I bought the first one. Now that the second one is out, I have to prepare more, otherwise it won’t be enough to sell.”

"Afu, thanks to your presence, the business of the bookstore can be so good."

"No, the second brother is busy all day long. This is all the credit of the second brother." Dong Jiafu said with a smile.

Dong Jialin carefully put away his storybook

Come on, "Afu, you have been working hard these days in your room writing your storybook. I heard that there is a plum garden in the capital, which is full of all kinds of plum trees. The scenery is especially beautiful when it snows. Let's go and see it tomorrow. See?"

Dong Jiafu had been to Meiyuan before, and she wasn't very interested at first, but seeing that he wanted to go, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go ask mother and eldest brother if they can go."
