Chapter 227 Misunderstanding
On the small building, the moonlight is like water.

Silver light fell on the exquisite wooden railings and the roof with cornices. Zhen Jiang, who was sitting in front of Su Yao, looked more elegant and refined in the moonlight like a white lotus in full bloom.

She breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her.

The Marquis of Guannei actually said that he would protect her.
These words made Zhen Jiang feel at ease that he had never felt in recent days.

She looked up at the bright moon outside the window, her eyes sparkling.

Yes, the Yuan family is indeed powerful, but how can the Marquis of Guannei in front of him be an easy person?

If we say that when he was in Mengjindu, Zhen Jiang only had a pure and simple affection and win over a newly rising general.

Today, when she saw Su Yaoqi's majestic and heroic posture, she was completely shocked.

The grand prisoner sacrifice and triumphal ceremony seemed to be still before our eyes. The shouts of thousands of soldiers, the cheers of the people on the roadside, and the screams of the girls were all intertwined and shocking.

And above the ceremony, the identity of the man who held the horse for Su Yao was even more shocking, enough to cause a sensation in the whole city.

"Repay?"

But first of all, if his father hadn't died early, how could he have wanted her, the eldest daughter, to take the lead?
Otherwise, how could she, who was inexperienced in the world, have the chance to be deceived by those high-sounding words.

But this does not mean that she is stupid. Zhen Jiang has also been studying and practicing calligraphy since she was a child. Although she does not dare to say that she is talented, she can figure it out if she thinks about it carefully.

only.
After encountering obstacles for many days since entering Beijing, Zhen Jiang has deeply realized the harshness of the world. Especially after experiencing Xu You's incident, he realized that there are no good intentions without reason in this world.

The emperor actually sent this person to lead Su Yao's horse. This honor was extremely profound.

What about the Marquis of Guannei in front of him?
Is it true that, as he said, he dared to risk offending the Yuan family to stand up for himself for the sake of justice?

Zhen Jiang was really scared.

That was Zhang Rang, the head of the Ten Constant Attendants!

Su Yao looked around, and then his eyes fell back on Zhen Jiang:
"In that case, let me sleep for one night."

It should be said that in addition to being officials, her family has also been in business for several generations, so they should not be unfamiliar with this.

Everything has a price.

If the Marquis of Guannei said he wanted to protect her, there would definitely be no problem.

Then, just when Zhen Jiang's eyes were covered with mist, the maid Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips and said angrily:

"The Marquis of Guannei has shown great kindness and righteousness. I don't know how this little girl should repay him."

I am afraid that I will be wrongly paid again because of my passion, and I am afraid that I will be fooled and used again after giving a lot.

"."

Now her Zhen family has no backer, just like the fish belly on the chopping board. Not only does Zhang Chun, the Zhongshan rebel, treat them like fat meat and slaughter them all the time, but isn't Xu You doing the same to take advantage of others' danger to seek wealth and sex? ?

"what?!"

then
Putting away the emotion in her heart, Zhen Jiang bowed her head gracefully and said politely:

For a moment, Zhen Jiang was seen covering her mouth, the maid raised her eyebrows, and even Xiaochun curled her lips.

"what?!"

"My master is also the eldest daughter of the Wuji Zhen family in Zhongshan. How can I allow you to be so frivolous with your innocent daughter's body!"

"Xiaoyu, don't be rude!" Zhen Jiang quickly stood up and grabbed the maid.

But her heart felt so cold.

Marquis Guannei has thoughts about her, and she naturally understands.

Girls are generally very sensitive to gaze.

This is especially true for Zhen Jiang due to her unusually fast development since she was a child.

I can often feel those hot and frivolous gazes.

Such a figure made her very distressed, and even a double-layered breast wrap couldn't stop it.

While crossing Mengjin, Zhen Jiang caught the fleeting heat in Su Yao's eyes.

However, for some reason, she, who had always hated the sight of others, felt a moment of joy at that time.

Even before, when Su Yao flew up from the street and broke into her meeting with Xu You, not only did she not feel rude, but she felt excited and expectant.

But now, Su Yao's words did not hesitate to put cold water on her: "In the eyes of Guannei Hou, is my little girl only worthy of this one-night marriage?"

Zhen Jiang folded his hands on his chest, and in the blink of an eye, a wisp of tears fell from the corner of his eyes.

It's so pitiful and alluring.

——"stop stop stop"

The maid Xiaochun stretched out her hand and stamped her foot, revealing the black lines on her forehead:
"What are you thinking about?

My master just wants to ask you to let me stay for one night! "

"what?"

"Is this true?" Xiaoyu stared.

"What if?!" Xiaochun also put her hands on her hips and pointed out the window, "Didn't you see that so many of us are outside?"

After listening to Xiaochun's words, the situation became extremely embarrassing.

Zhen Jiang was stunned, with tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes. He lowered his head deeply and hugged his chest tightly.

Xiaoyu's face was flushed, obviously ashamed of her impulsive behavior just now. She glanced at Zhen Jiang secretly and was relieved when she saw that she didn't mean to blame him.

As for Xiaochun, he glared at Su Yao fiercely, as if he was angry or resentful, as if to say
"Can we stop using such confusing terms?!"

In response, Su Yao reached out and scratched his cheek, showing an indescribable expression, as if he wanted to laugh, but felt it was not appropriate.

After maintaining silence for a while, Su Yao broke it.

Just listen to him cough dryly:
"We haven't found a place to stay for the time being. I think your home is quite big. I wonder if Miss Zhen can let me stay overnight?"

After listening to Su Yao's request, Zhen Jiang was stunned for a while, and then he realized what he was doing. He raised his head and looked at Su Yao with complicated eyes.

The chaotic situation shocked her brain, and she couldn't figure out why the prosperous Guannai Marquis had no place to stay on the night of the ceremony.

But she quickly regained her grace and composure.

Zhen Jiang smiled and nodded, as if the misunderstanding just now had never happened:

"It's a humble house. I hope the Marquis of Guannei won't dislike it."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Jiang asked Xiaoyu to be responsible for receiving Su Yao and others, and then made an excuse to leave.

And then, until Su Yao and others left, they never saw the owner of Zhen Mansion again.

The next day, early morning.

When the rooster had just begun to crow, Su Yao, served by Hong'er and Xiaochun, changed into a solemn vermilion military attache's court uniform, with a gold seal and purple ribbon hanging around his waist.

With everyone's earnest advice and expectations, he headed to the city.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the city gate opened, he bumped into Zhong Yao, the Huangmen servant who had been guarding there all night.

After clarifying the misunderstanding, Zhong Yao sent people to Zhen Mansion to pick up Su Yao's family members and luggage for resettlement in the city, while personally leading Su Yao to the North Palace to attend the court meeting.

In fact, according to the regular system, no matter whether they are cavalry captains or Guannai marquises, they are all qualified to attend, but they are not required to participate in every court meeting.

What's more, they are a noble sinecure who is ready to be dispatched at any time.

If you have something to do, you will be dispatched, and if you have nothing to do, you will be handed over.

But this time, the reason why Zhong Yao anxiously stayed at the city gate all night was to continue the task of settling Su Yao's family members.

The most important thing is the oral instruction given by the emperor before leaving.

He asked Su Yao to go to court on time today.

This was good. Zhong Yao, who originally thought he was just bringing it back and handing it over after attending the ceremony, found that he had one more task.

I could only bite the bullet and tell Su Yao on the carriage what to pay attention to when going to court.

But, even so, Zhong Yao was still worried, fearing that he would be capsized in the gutter if he lost his etiquette in front of the newly promoted Lord of the Honorable Council, where hundreds of officials were present.

After all, with the style of Guannei Hou, Zhong Yao would be a fool if he could say he wasn't worried.

God, please bless everything to go well!
Zhong Yao prayed silently.
