overbearing

The bloody streaks on his face were very conspicuous, and all the discerning people sitting there immediately looked weird.

Zhou Jirong was even more annoyed at him talking nonsense with his eyes open, snorted and said, "Do we have a cat? You found such a big cat's paw and showed it to me. I'm afraid it was scratched by cats."

Among the guards around him, apart from Bai Tingyu who is calm and dignified and has the gentleness of a scholar, the rest are either vicious or gloomy and cunning. A group of people gathered together in a miasma, which can be regarded as the most quagmire in Hanzhou.As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu Chi are close to ink and those who are close to ink are black. Fang Zhen has been dealing with these people by his side for several years.But still can't change the innocence and meekness in his bones, not only soft-tempered but also soft-hearted.

Zhou Jirong simply hated iron for being weak, and said resentfully: "How long has it been since I sent you something, and you made it like this if you asked you to do something trivial? But let you find a place to lock her up, and you will end up like this by yourself." Yes! Usually Zhuo asks them to do things and you follow them, don’t you know what to do! If you change to Xiaobai, you will be able to do it properly. Could it be that you learned kung fu to drive away mosquitoes? She? What did I usually tell you? Who dares to bully us, just beat him to death, don't be polite, I'm the one who beats me to death!"

Fang Zhen wanted to cover his face again, but seeing Zhou Jirong staring at him fiercely, he raised his hand halfway and put it down again.Said sheepishly: "...she's always a girl, I beat her to death...it's not good..."

Zhou Jirong thumped the table and said, "Then she deserves to scratch you! You deserve it! You deserve it!"

Fang Zhen knew his temper, and seeing that the words had already reached this point, nothing would happen next.He didn't take this injury to heart, thought for a while and said carefully: "I asked her for 10 taels of silver when I heard the prince speak. This, isn't it a bit too much for a lion to speak?"

Zhou Jirong was about to lose his temper: "You also know that I am asking for a lot of money. If you want to blame it, you can blame her for not knowing how to pay back the money! You told me that she had no money as soon as she said it, but you didn't see the band on her ear. What about the pearl earrings, the necklace around the neck, and the jade bracelet on the hand! How moist and moist the color is!"

"I heard that the Empress Dowager loved her very much when she was still in favor. The rewards given in the palace must be indispensable. She is a daughter of a prominent family, and jewelry and treasures are absolutely indispensable. As long as you are willing to sell them all, you can always come up with a part of the money. How can you keep thinking about Mr. Liu's old money, but you can't even part with these extraneous things! How insincere it is to think like this and say that you don't have money."

Fang Zhen didn't notice all these things, she was speechless for a moment, paused and argued in a low voice: "Maybe Miss Duan just didn't think of changing jewelry into money for a while, after all, she doesn't seem to have experienced anything, what? I don't understand..."

Zhou Jirong snorted: "Even if it wasn't intentional, does she think it's a big deal to be able to cry? Once the two lips touch each other, why should others do her work for nothing! She has nothing to do, but it doesn't necessarily mean anything." You don’t even understand! But you don’t understand anything after the experience, and your mind is full of silly pokes of bean dregs!”

Just because he had such a dull and honest subordinate who was so worried that he died, Zhou Jirong slapped the table angrily again, saying: "I don't want to eat!"

He lost his temper and cursed people more often than this, and today he restrained himself a little with the presence of Commander Wu.

Everyone except Wu Si knew a little bit of the reason, and no one else knew what happened.I can only figure out the context of the matter from the words of the two of them, and it is not easy to persuade those who don't know what's inside.

Now the dispute between the two has come to an end.Bai Tingyu got up quietly and went to the kitchen to prepare supper, Zhuo Wen, who was always active, turned Fang Zhen's face and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the prince doesn't grow grapes at home, and he didn't set up a shelf, otherwise you might as well say it's a grape shelf." It was scratched. Come and show my brother, it was scratched out by the paws of the eldest lady of the capital? Come and see it when you are old, is it no different from the ones scratched out by girls in spring, willow and green? Well!"

After looking at him, he made a fuss and said with a 'tsk tsk': "It's broken, it's broken Fang Zhen, the blood is scratched on the face, your little face will be considered disfigured from now on. You haven't even decided on a marriage. Against the paw prints scratched by the little lady, the older girls will definitely think you are not a good person, who would want to follow you. It will be very difficult for you to find a wife in the future. It will be very difficult ah!"

Zhou Jirong was upset when he heard about his wife.He stared and said: "It's no big deal if you lose your appearance. There is a general's daughter with an uneven face, which is just right for you." He recalled what that bastard Liu Jingyu said at that time, and roughly described it : "That lady is so majestic and majestic, she is strong and capable, and there is no problem in passing on the family line with a strong body. She is a good match for a hero." After thinking about it, he added his own words: "About the fist can stand You can run horses on your arms... If you really can't find a wife, I'll propose marriage to her family for you."

Fang Zhen couldn't help shivering with a bitter face: "I don't want to marry a daughter-in-law, and I don't want such a girl... Thank you for your kindness."

Zhou Jirong said: "I chose it for you, you are not allowed to say no." After speaking, he was still unhappy, so he simply got up and walked out.

Everyone in the room looked at Fang Zhen, and Shi Weichen patted Fang Zhen on the shoulder with sympathy or gloat and said, "If there is such a day, Big Brother Shi will go and find some secret recipes for you to grow muscles and beautify your skin, maybe you will be cured." Well, she can be a beauty, right?"

Fang Zhen knew that he had become someone else's fun, so he didn't answer with a sad face, and sat aside to fill up the rice and grab a few mouthfuls in a hurry.Zhou Jirong didn't say that he didn't need to give Duan Yunjia food, so he put a bowl of rice on his own initiative, and picked some of the dishes that were still intact.It was just that Zhou Jirong would scold him again if he wanted to question him that day, so he didn't dare to pick any meat.Now it can be regarded as his care. As for whether Miss Duan will eat or not, it's another story.

When he came back from delivering the meal, he saw Zhou Jirong holding a bow and arrow and leaning against the corridor where he hung the lantern in the daytime with a wooden face. The lantern fluttered down unsteadily, but it landed intact.

Bai Tingyu stood beside him, Jiang Yu helped him retrieve the arrow, Zhuo Wen and Shi Weichen waited beside him carrying the ladder, waiting for the lantern on the ground to be tied to a rope and then hung up again.The master was in a bad mood, and the guards suffered accordingly. Fang Zhen was the one responsible for all the people. Seeing him coming, they all stared at him if they couldn't complain.

Seeing him, Zhou Jirong pointed to the eaves and asked him to go over to hang the lanterns, signaling Zhuo Wen, Shi Weichen and others to call it a day.

Fang Zhen had just delivered food to Miss Duan behind his back, and at this moment she was quite guilty, and hurriedly went to the ground to take over: "I'll do it. My lord, do you want to hang it higher?"

Zhou Jirong ignored him, but his shooting speed was much faster.Several times Fang Zhen had just hung up the lantern, but he shot it down again with a swish.Fang really tossed like a monkey, climbing up and down the ladder.

Just because he regards Fang Zhen as his own, it is not easy to greet him with fists, so he has to use such a crooked method.Others didn't dare to persuade him, but fortunately, he usually stopped arguing once he got angry.

When the lanterns first came on, I looked at Fang Zhen again. He was sweaty from jumping up and down, but his face turned rosy when he moved.On the contrary, Zhou Jirong felt a little cold after sitting for a long time, so he put down his bow and arrow angrily.

Bai Tingyu looked at his face, shook off the robe he had prepared in his hand, and put it on him.Zhuo Wen winked at Fang Zhen behind Zhou Jirong's back.

Fang Zhen took this opportunity and quickly stepped forward to admit his mistake: "My lord, I know I was wrong."

Zhou Jirong snorted and said, "What's wrong?"

Fang Zhen said: "It's not my face that she scratched, it's the prince's face. From now on, I will never let anyone scratch me again. I will beat anyone who scratches me, definitely!"

Although Zhou Jirong felt that his words were duplicity, and that he would definitely make those bad mistakes again next time, it was just that the temperature dropped at night, and it became colder and colder for him to sit on the stone railing, and it was useless to put a cushion on it. Here I am asking for trouble, and I don't bother to chat with him any longer.

Just as I was about to say a few words and end it, I hurried back to the room when the guard who guarded the door during the day came to report that Duan Ningze had already arrived and was asking to see him outside the door. If there is an interruption, the concierge will bring in an apology box.

Don't look at Zhou Jirong yelling in front of Duan Yunjia to lock her up and ask her family to redeem her with money, and to buy her at any price, but he said it in a moment of anger, mostly for scaring.After thinking about it, I felt that my actions were really ill-considered. Let alone keeping a little girl in the mansion and not letting the news spread, it would be inappropriate for others to persuade him to do so on the spot.

It's a pity that only the honest Fang Zhen was by his side at that time, so naturally he would do whatever he said.

Now that someone's family has really come to the door, it is a bit difficult to ask someone to redeem it with money.

He was out of his mind for a while, but he couldn't think of any good countermeasures.It's just that he was polite and courteous, so he couldn't just simply and rudely reject the door and let the guards bring people in.

While picking up the bow and arrow at hand, he silently aimed at the highest hanging lantern.

Duan Ningze came very quickly, his footsteps stopped three meters behind him lightly, he bowed down and said: "Duan Ningze next time, I met the prince."

Zhou Jirong heard that his voice was low, gentle and calm, and he didn't show the panic that his sister should have been captured by the big devil.Couldn't help but be a little curious, let him hang on to his plan for a short while, and then couldn't help but turn to look at him.

Duan Ningze is tall and well-proportioned, kneeling upright on the ground, and looking up at Zhou Jirong slightly, seeing Zhou Jirong turning his head, he forced a smile at Zhou Jirong, lowered his eyes slightly, his face covered In the dim light at dusk, the outline was not very clear, but his face was the usual whiteness of the children of the aristocratic family, and even his face was even whiter.

Zhou Jirong finally saw a strong composure from his expression, which made Zhou Jirong very satisfied. He felt that this was the attitude he should have, so he said, "Come in and talk. I feel uncomfortable talking with my head down. " But even he himself has no party to stick to his tone, and his tone has softened a lot.

Duan Ningze thanked him before standing up.Now it turned into Zhou Jirong who had to raise his head to talk to him, measuring his figure, Duan Ningze was afraid that Duan Ningze would be a little taller than himself, Zhou Jirong silently scolded his mother in his heart, but it was hard to say you It's better to kneel down again, I am more comfortable with my head down than my neck up.

He had no choice but to look up at Duan Ningze, and said straight to the point: "Are you here to find your sister?"

Duan Ningze didn't seem to expect him to be so straightforward, his eyes flickered slightly: "My negligence in discipline has made Yun Jia naive and ignorant, she came to disturb the prince, she must have offended the prince, I will serve her first and apologize to the prince , she must be strictly disciplined in the future."

These few sentences are just ordinary scenes, and there is nothing particularly new.If it were someone else who said the same thing, Zhou Jirong might not be easy to talk about.It's just that he has a unique voice, which is as deep and gentle as warm water, which is comfortable to hear.

Zhou Jirong was headstrong at first, and because of his good voice, he didn't have the intention to make things difficult for him. He just said bluntly: "Your sister came here out of nowhere and asked me to save her little lover's family. I don't work for nothing. , asked her to bring the money. She couldn’t come up with the money, so she said that she would marry me and let me help her. I said that I would recognize the money but not the person, and after a few arguments, she was disappointed and wanted to hit me, so she just replied. thing."

When Duan Ningze heard that Duan Yunjia said that he would marry Zhou Jirong, even when Zhou Jirong said that he only recognized money, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He was really surprised when Duan Yunjia made a move, and immediately knelt down again and said urgently: "My lord Forgive me!"

"Of course I can't let her do it, the bill will be settled later." Zhou Jirong waved his hand, but this time he didn't let him stand up again. : "I think she is not clear-headed today. If she ran to that family so casually and said she wanted to marry someone, it would be too disturbing. So I left her at the house as a guest." He said that he wanted to wipe out Miss Duan's words about exchanging money for silver.
