Tracing Office

Didn't even wait until the next day.

That night, Zhou Yuyun knew Qin Youyuan's answer.Because the Zhou family received a special guest, they received a secret decree.

The chief executive next to the emperor, with a white and fat face and a smiling face, sat in an inconspicuous carriage and came to announce the decree in person late at night.

Kneeling in the room, Zhou Yuyun listened to the chief executive unfurl the yellow silk handkerchief and finished reading word by word, feeling like falling into an ice cave.

After the holy decree was read, the whole room was silent.

Zhou Yuyun didn't speak, neither did Zhou's father.

The chief eunuch was obviously prepared for it. Seeing that Zhou Yuyun was in a trance so unbelievable that he could not speak, let alone accept the order, he was not angry. He squatted down with a smile and handed the yellow silk handkerchief to Zhou Yuyun.

Zhou Yuyun raised his hand reflexively, and took the secret order.

"Mr. Zhou, don't be nervous. Your Majesty, the old man, said that Your Majesty is not a stereotyped person. Although he thinks you are a good match, he is afraid of making a mistake and delaying the young man's life. Therefore, there is no jade seal on it. If Mr. Zhou is willing, You can take this handkerchief to ask for an order, and you will have a full moon. If Mr. Zhou is unwilling, you will be an old slave who has never been here."

Others might be ecstatic because His Majesty is so favored.But it was such a great honor to promise, but Zhou Yuyun seemed to have never heard of it. He was kneeling on the ground, staring blankly at the secret decree.

From the moment he received the secret decree, he has maintained this movement and expression.

He knew the writing on it.

These are Xiaoyuan's words.

So, this is, is your answer to me?

Did His Majesty force you to write it, or did you immediately accept the order obediently when His Majesty mentioned this matter?

Zhou Yuyun covered her face with her fingers.

……

Zhou's father sent the eunuch out and apologized to the eunuch: "If the dog is rude, please forgive me."

The eunuch waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Zhou is too polite. Who doesn't know that the young master of the Zhou family is the most courteous. Your Majesty is even more fond of young master Zhou. You see, this young talent in the court, which one Can His Majesty be so concerned? I just hope that Mr. Zhou will not disappoint His Majesty's wishes."

Hearing these meaningful words, Father Zhou's expression remained the same, and he nodded sincerely as before: "Your Majesty Long En, how dare you let me down."

The eunuch's smile deepened.

When Father Zhou returned to the room, Zhou Yuyun had already collected his emotions. He sat on the chair, heard the voice of Father Zhou coming back, raised his head, but his face was a little pale, and he couldn't see the trace of just now: "Father, you know Is this a thing?"

Father Zhou looked at his son calmly: "If you are asking about this secret decree, I don't know. I only know that His Majesty is not satisfied with the affairs of the two of you recently. What do you think about this matter?"

Zhou Yuyun knew what his father really wanted to ask, but he avoided the topic and said instead: "I can't marry Roujia. It's not fair to Roujia."

Zhou's father didn't force it either, and followed his topic: "How do you know that Roujia is unwilling? Roujia is over twenty now, why hasn't she been married?"

In this day and age, people are far more tolerant of men than women.Zhou Yuyun is over 25 years old and not married, and people outside just gossip, which will not affect anything.But for a woman who is still unmarried after twenty, it can almost be regarded as an insult to the family.People from poor families have to do hard work at home, and they are also disgusted and scolded;

That is to say, Xie's parents love their daughter so much that they let Roujia not get married.However, Rou Jia's reputation from the outside world is already extremely bad. Even if the Xie family is powerful, Taoist priests often come to pick things up.Xie Haoran also mentioned it to him before, saying that the family did not find a trustworthy person, and he was afraid that after Roujia got married, that person would treat her badly, so he kept procrastinating. In fact, he was also very anxious.

If this person is Zhou Yuyun, I would feel at ease if I want to thank my family.

Zhou Yuyun did not speak.

Zhou's father saw that he was lost, and sighed: "Since your majesty didn't make a decree openly, it means that there is still room for change. If you really don't want to marry Roujia, there is always something about your father and my old face. Save face. It’s just about the matter with the Seventh Prince, so don’t bring it up again. You should think about it for yourself.”

Zhou Yuyun smiled wryly: Your Majesty promises that you don't want to, so do you really think you can resist the decree?

Zhou Yuyun sat in the room all night.

Early the next morning, his servant Qingzhu rushed in from outside.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Zhou Yuyun suddenly raised his head: "How?"

Qingzhu's forehead was covered with sweat, seeing Zhou Yuyun's urgent eyes, he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Zhou Yuyun guessed the answer from his reaction, and the light in his eyes gradually went out: "Say it."

Qingzhu's voice was very low: "The seventh prince, he rode a horse to the suburbs. I asked someone in the Seventh Prince's mansion, and they said that I had an appointment with the third prince to go hunting, and I just stayed in the suburbs today."

Zhou Yuyun closed her eyes: "I see."

Qingzhu was very worried, he knew his young master's feelings for the Seventh Prince, and also knew that his young master was a person who accepted death too much.However, he couldn't do anything except stand in front of the young master's door and secretly scold that bastard.

At night, Qingzhu watched for a whole day, seeing that his young master hadn't done anything, he gradually felt relieved, just as he was about to take a nap, the door was pushed open.

Qingzhu woke up cleverly, and he asked stiffly: "Master, are you hungry?"

Zhou Yuyun strode out: "Go to sleep, don't wait for me, I'll go out for a while."

Qingzhu hurriedly followed: "Master, it's so late, where are you going?"

"No matter how late the banquet is, it should be over now."

This is going to find the Seventh Prince again, Qingzhu was shocked: "Young master, don't be stupid, what are you going there for?"

Seeing Zhou Lan standing there in front of him, Qingzhu hurriedly shouted: "Miss Lan, please persuade the young master!"

Zhou Lan stood outside the courtyard, the light of the lantern reflected on her face, her expression calm.

"Does Sister Lan want to stop me too?" Zhou Yuyun stopped.

Zhou Lan said coldly: "Do you think I shouldn't stop you?"

Zhou Yuyun said with a hoarse voice, "Does Sister Lan think that I am not up to date? She is hiding like that, and she almost pointed at my nose to make me go away. I still refuse to give up, and I want to ask again once."

There were even tears in Zhou Lan's eyes: "You know the result, why do you want him to ruin your mind again?"

Zhou Yuyun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands: "But, if I don't go, I will regret it forever. I regret that I didn't ask him today. Sister Lan, please let me go."

"Go ask again, ask thoroughly, and then come back. After asking this time, you are not allowed to think about it again."

"it is good."
