overbearing

Zhou Jirong never suppressed his emotions on ordinary and trivial matters. Since he was unhappy, he didn't have a good look on his face.As a matter of course, she turned a blind eye to Ms. Duan who was walking over, and she turned a blind eye when the other party announced her family name.He still directed Fang Zhen to hang the last few lanterns on a high place with a ladder as if nothing had happened.

Fang Zhen is young and not stable enough, looking at the girl next to him out of the corner of his eyes, he is extremely curious, and he is very absent-minded when doing things.Following Zhou Jirong's blind command of "turn left, turn left, and go higher", Fang Zhen also swayed wildly, leaning most of his body out of the ladder, and then an unstable man and the ladder fell downside down.Fortunately, there was still some snow on the ground, so the person was not injured at all, but the lantern in his hand was crushed to pieces.

When Fang Zhen just fell down, he expected that his master was going to scold someone, so he just got up quickly without saying a word, and before Zhou Jirong could express anything, he ran away with the rotten lantern in his hand.

Zhou Jirong couldn't pretend any more, so he could only turn to look at Duan Yunjia, and nodded at her: "Miss Duan, what are you looking for me for?"

To say that Zhou Jirong has a pretty face, but he can easily choke people to death with a single mouth, especially when he doesn't know how to talk to girls.At this time, he asked the question very directly without any detours, but his exquisite and beautiful face was indifferent, his eyes were also cold, and there was an undisguised impatience in his tone.

Duan Yunjia stood in a daze on the corridor, neither knelt down nor saluted, Zhou Jirong didn't pay much attention to these things, and she didn't realize it herself, the two just stared at each other.She has grown up so much, and everyone she meets is polite to her. No one has spoken to her in this tone. Although she has thought about it all the way when she came here, she still doesn't like this little prince Zhou who is different from ordinary people. Knowing how to deal with it is the best, biting his lip for a while and being unable to make a sound, the surroundings of his eyes became more and more red, and the tears in his eyes would not fall.

For a moment, it was like a new load of dew pear blossoms with rain, such a pitiful appearance, if you want to change someone else, you will have to feel soft-hearted and pity, and you have to ask her with concern about what she looks like.Little did he know that Zhou Jirong didn't like this at all, what annoyed him most was women dawdling and crying, seeing the corners of his eyes twitching and his claws itching, wanting to slap her as far as possible.I thought it was a big deal, these women and priests have grown up and their tongues are not tied, so they can't speak directly.Nine out of ten women just know how to cry, and it really is the most annoying!Does this work ass or does it solve the problem.What's the matter crying to me, I'm not your father!

Besides, how unlucky it is to go to someone else's house and cry during the Chinese New Year!

Zhou Jirong thought of this, so his face became dark and gloomy, and he endured for a long time to see her shrugging and twitching her shoulders as if suffering from illness, but he still didn't intend to speak, and said angrily: "Miss Duan, are you Are you going to stay for dinner?"

Duan Yunjia was taken aback by his inexplicable question, covered his mouth and let out a soft 'ah' in surprise.

Zhou Jirong said with a cold face: "If you plan to stay for dinner, I'll ask the kitchen to add some food. You can cry slowly here first." Before she could answer, he wanted to leave.I thought that if she really lingered until dinner time, she would really have to remove the fish and roe deer meat from the kitchen, and replace them with radishes and cabbage or whatever.

Duan Yunjia was taken aback by his words, "You are crying slowly, and I am really embarrassed to let Lihua bring the rain down."Although she is a little naive, but she has a brother who is said to be smart, but he is not stupid after all. Suddenly seeing the disgusted look on Zhou Jirong's eyebrows, she suddenly realized that she had used the wrong method.

She was also very decisive, when she saw Zhou Jirong was about to leave, she hurriedly shed tears and chased after her and shouted: "Little prince, please stay, I... I won't cry, I have something to say to the prince!"

Seeing that she was chasing after her, Zhou Jirong couldn't pretend that Mrs. Feng didn't hear her, so he stopped and said, "Say it."

Duan Yunjia knelt down on the ground and said, "My lord, I have something to ask!"

Zhou Jirong saw that the trouble was indeed coming, and said expressionlessly, "Get up and talk."

Miss Duan said, "I won't get up if you don't agree."

Zhou Jirong scoffed at these tricks, if she wanted to kneel, she could kneel as long as she wanted, and she could kneel as long as she liked, anyway, it wasn't her knees that hurt, why would I be afraid of you!It's irrelevant and even he smiled happily and said: "Oh, then you can kneel, do you want me to send you a thin ball?"

Duan Yunjia suffered repeated losses, so he stood up and patted his knees angrily, and shouted at Zhou Jirong's figure, "Your Highness, do you want to keep pretending to be confused with me? Do you think it's interesting to tease me?"

Zhou Jirong was told the truth by her, but he refused to admit it to the death, and turned his head with a wooden face: "Why am I pretending to be confused, did I know you before? Apart from knowing that your surname is the lady of the Duan family, I don't know anything else. I don't know." After all, he didn't leave her in the yard to freeze, and invited her to a side room to talk.

Miss Duan finally took a sip of hot tea, holding the cup to warm her hands, while briefly explaining her identity, she finally brought up the matter of the Qi family, Qi Sheng said: "My lord, there are many poisonous miasmas in the Lingnan area, and the second elder of the Liu family is already very old." , Liu Xian is just a weak scholar, going to such a place, it is no different from sending him to death, can the little prince hold his hand high and let the Liu family go."

Zhou Jirong listened quietly with his eyes lowered, and he raised his head to look at her and smiled after waiting for him to finish speaking.

Duan Yunjia saw the coldness in his eyes, and felt a little desperate in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhou Jirong said indifferently: "Miss Duan is really affectionate." After a pause, he continued: "The Liu family violated the law of the country. It is not an exaggeration to ask for execution, but now it is just exile. Is it not enough to be lenient? If the evil is not punished, what should be used as an example. According to me, you also want to be more open. The Liu family has enjoyed everything for so many years, so you should be content. Even if If there is a real chance, you can burn some more paper money for them, and it will be kind and righteous. I heard that your brother has already refunded it for you? —— Liu is not a good thing, this is a good refund, you In the future, I will find a down-to-earth person who is not surnamed Liu..."

Half of his original intention was to persuade this young lady, but unfortunately the first half was barely plausible, but the latter part was simply adding salt to her wounds and showing that I was doing it for your own good.

Miss Duan dared not speak out, but the general meaning of what he said was the same as what her elder brother said, but Duan Ningze's way of expressing it was undoubtedly much gentler and more euphemistic.

Miss Duan knows the truth, but the friendship between sweethearts and bamboo horses can't be cut off just by talking about it.Still holding on to the last ray of hope, she said, "Is there no other way?"

Zhou Jirong frowned and thought for a while, then looked at her a little strangely: "Are you literate? Have you never read a book? According to the regulations of this dynasty, the penalty of exile can be offset with money. If you are willing to pay for his family It’s still possible to move around and reduce the number of years. It’s only 10 taels, how about it?” Speaking of this, for the first time, he looked up and down Miss Duan with bright eyes, and waited for her to take out the Here comes the bank note.

Of course, Miss Duan understood what he meant, but unfortunately, although she usually has enough food and clothing, she is a master who doesn't care about common things, and most of the money is held in Duan Ningze's hands.I usually think that carrying money and other things on the body smells of copper and vulgarity, but now I know what money is and when I use it, I hate it less. Money is not dung but a good thing.

When Ms. Duan heard the number, she was dumbfounded. Thinking of the recent rumors about Zhou Xiaowang's house raids so brutally, she slandered Zhou Jirong in her heart for being greedy for money, and said bitterly, "I don't have any money."

Zhou Jirong is a bad habit left over from his hard life in Hanzhou. When he really took over the affairs of Hanzhou, he realized how difficult it was for his brother. He needed money for everything from war horses, weapons, food, grass and soldiers, to building walls to support soldiers and relieve the common people. , and what he wanted was not a small amount of money, and Hanzhou was not rich, so he wished he could split a penny into two halves to spend. He gritted his teeth and survived those few years. Looking back, it was full of blood and tears.It wasn't until later that he had to find a way to take some crooked paths, and his life gradually improved, but the panic when he had no money was engraved in his bones, so he naturally attached more importance to money, It's just that the reason is too lazy to explain to outsiders.

The light in Zhou Jirong's eyes died down instantly, he lowered his eyes and put the teacup heavily on the table, turned his face and said in denial: "Oh, then I didn't say anything. I can't do anything about this, please go back."

After speaking, he stood up and was about to go out, but unexpectedly, there was a rustling sound from behind, and a gust of fragrant wind came, and he was hugged from behind without noticing it for a moment.

Zhou Jirong was about to throw the person out immediately, he half-remembered that this person was Miss Duan, so he reluctantly let go.When he got out, his face immediately became ugly and ugly: "How dare you insult me!? If you ruin my innocence, will you pay for it or who will pay for it?"

Ms. Duan didn't know whether she fell in pain or fell stupidly, she was about to cry and said with great difficulty: "I am willing to marry the prince..."

Zhou Jirong: "??" Fuck me!I casually said who is really going to marry you?what's going on?

Miss Duan continued: "I just ask the lord to let the Liu family live... This is just a little effort for the lord, it is not difficult..."

Zhou Jirong's face darkened, and he interrupted her: "...Bring the money, I didn't go to ask your brother for it, anyway, I can't lose one or two! Otherwise, this matter will be out of the question!"
