The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 124
Zhenbaozhai is the most famous jewelry shop in Beijing.

Zhao Chen originally planned to bring his wife here by himself, so that he could stay by his wife's side all the time. It's not surprising that the couple picked jewelry together. Now that there are two more younger sisters and one Guo Zijing, he feels embarrassed to cling to his wife. Watching Guo Baozhu and Lin Zhu choose in front of the counter, he stood far away from Guo Zijing.

"You are so elegant." Guo Zijing glanced at the loudest sister, and taunted the culprit in front of him who prevented him from resting at home.

Zhao Chen chuckled: "You're quite free, we only made an appointment with Baozhu, but I didn't expect you to come with me."

Guo Zijing didn't want to argue with him, so he turned around and casually looked at the shelf on one side.

Zhao Chen still looked at his wife, seeing Guo Baozhu holding a hairpin and comparing it to Ah Ju's head, Zhao Chen left Guo Zijing and walked over, "Have you chosen?"

Before Aju could speak, Guo Baozhu first handed him the hairpin in his hand, "Brother, take a look at this, Azhu and I think sister-in-law will look good wearing it, sister-in-law must be afraid that you won't want to spend money and want to buy one." The gems are smaller!"

She laughed and joked, and the female shopkeeper saw that there was going to be a big business, so she boasted: "Mrs. When it is on Madam's head, it is like the light of a firefly facing Haoyue, it does not show the magical effect of jewelry at all."

Ah Ju blushed from the praise.

Zhao Chen looked at his wife, then looked down at the golden phoenix hairpin in his hand.A pigeon's blood ruby ​​the size of a thumb is embedded in the body of the phoenix, which is as hot as fire. The phoenix tail is spread out, and the edge of each phoenix tail is also embedded with a gemstone of the same color the size of a grain of rice. , Dazzling.

So luxurious, the price is naturally high.

The female shopkeeper stared at Zhao Chen nervously, wondering if Master Zhao would be willing to buy such an expensive gift for his wife.

Zhao Chen was very satisfied with this hairpin, put the hairpin on the cabinet, and asked Ah Ju with a smile: "Choose two more? It's rare to go out, so pick more."

The female shopkeeper suddenly smiled and rolled her eyes.

Ah Ju understood her husband's intentions, and nodded slightly. After Zhao Chen left, she didn't pick for herself, but helped Lin Zhu pick it up.It is natural for her to use Zhao Chen's money now, but she is not willing to spend too much for herself, it is different for her sister, and she also knows her sister's preferences, even though Lin Zhu pushed it twice, Ah Ju still chose it for her sister. I ordered several.

Anyway, Zhao Chen prepared 1000 taels, which is not in vain.

When picking it, Ah Ju fell in love with a small and exquisite jade gourd. She planned to buy it for her daughter, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that her daughter would grab it and put it in her mouth. The chains were attached to her short short legs.My daughter likes to kick her legs, and she will be happy when she kicks and rings.

After choosing the things, Ah Ju led the two younger sisters to get out of the way and asked Zhao Chen to pay.

The things were packed in three boxes, Guo Zijing took the sister's first and insisted that he pay.

Zhao Chen didn't fight him.

Guo Baozhu secretly said to Lin Zhu: "If my brother doesn't marry a wife again, I will spend all his little coffers!"

Lin Zhu blinked at her: "Then do you hope to have a sister-in-law sooner or later?"

At this time Guo Zijing had already walked over with the box, Guo Baozhu was not afraid of him at all, and said in a neutral voice: "It depends on what kind of sister-in-law he wants to marry me. If she is a good sister-in-law, I wish I could marry her now." Come here, if the kind of people who have nothing to do all day just trouble me and my mother, why not just move the two of them outside!"

"What nonsense." Ah Ju rebuked softly.

Guo Baozhu chuckled, took Lin Zhu's arm and went downstairs first.

Guo Zijing followed closely behind, and Ah Ju walked down with Zhao Chen.Looking at Guo Zijing's back, Ah Ju couldn't help asking in a low voice: "My aunt is four years older than you, why didn't you marry so long?" The aunt is really worried, and the son and daughter are not worried.

"You must be too high-sighted." Zhao Chen said casually, and gently squeezed his wife's hand, "Good girls are all outside the capital, and he doesn't have such good luck as me."

Ah Ju glared at him with a red face.

After shopping for jewelry, the sun was already high, the five of them went to a restaurant for dinner, and Chen Ping had already reserved a private room.

Zhao Chen and Guo Zijing walked behind as usual. Zhao Chen was a step behind because he was talking to Chen Ping. When he walked in, he suddenly noticed a gaze from upstairs falling on him. He frowned and looked up, and saw Ji Zhao lying in front of a window , was waving at him with a grin, but didn't call him brother as usual, instead he felt like a thief.

Zhao Chen turned his head and asked Chen Ping: "Did you meet Prince Ji when you came to book the private room?"

Chen Ping scratched his head: "I didn't pay attention..." He got out of the carriage and went in directly, and came out immediately after booking a private room, without even looking at anyone nearby, who knows where that Prince Ji came from?
"Which private room are we in?" Zhao Chen asked again.

Chen Ping awkwardly pointed to the room next to Ji Zhao, and guiltily defended himself: "I really don't know..."

Zhao Chen waved his hand, he wanted to see what this kid was going to do.

Following the clerk up to the second floor, he saw Guo Zijing standing outside the door of a private room, and Aju and the three daughters had obviously gone in.Zhao Chen walked in as if nothing had happened, and when he passed by Ji Zhao's room, he knew that Ji Zhao was not going to come out to say hello to him, so he smiled lightly and asked Guo Zijing to go in together.

At the table by the window, Zhao Chen and Guo Zijing sat next to each other, Ah Ju sat on the other side of Zhao Chen, Lin Zhu was beside him, and Guo Baozhu sat between Lin Zhu and his elder brother.

Lin Zhu almost faced Guo Zijing face to face.

She deliberately avoided it all the way, and now Lin Zhu didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Guo Zijing.

Guo Zijing saw through her thoughts that day, he probably already decided that she was a country girl who was greedy for glory and wealth, right?When he found out that the other party was a high-ranking prince, he was moved, and he was self-righteous, but he didn't know that King Rui had already married the concubine.

Lin Zhu admitted that she was really excited when she found out about King Rui's identity, and she was indeed greedy for glory and wealth, but if she knew that King Rui was married, no matter how good King Rui was, she would not take a second look.But she didn't know that she did something stupid and wanted to hide it from everyone, but Guo Zijing saw it all.

"Azhu, drink tea and warm yourself up." Guo Baozhu urged enthusiastically, "His family's Qi Hong is quite good."

Lin Zhu came back to his senses in shock, and involuntarily glanced at the opposite side.

Guo Zijing, as an imperial guard, had a keen eye on others, almost Lin Zhu's eyes fell on him, and he immediately looked back, just in time to meet the panicked eyes of the little girl, who seemed to be complaining after the panic, bowed his head and held tea At that time, the corners of his mouth were tightened, and his eyes stared to the side while drinking tea.

It's obvious that he doesn't want to see him.

Guo Zijing was puzzled, when did he offend her?
It's not good to stare at the little girl all the time, Guo Zijing looked away and wanted to talk to Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen was looking at the golden bell his wife picked for his daughter, smiling silly.Turning to look at her sister, Guo Baozhu had already started talking to Lin Zhu.Guo Zijing glanced at Lin Zhu again, seeing that her attitude when talking to her sister hadn't changed from before, he was a little relieved.

He doesn't care if you don't wait to see him, don't hate your sister in your heart and pretend to be friends with her.

It's just when did he provoke her?When we first met, Lin Zhu also called him Big Brother Guo with a smile, today...

Guo Zijing thought for a while, Lin Zhu really didn't call him today, and he never met her when he glanced past Lin Zhu inadvertently.

As a popular person in front of the emperor, many people wanted to curry favor with him, and naturally there were also many people who were against him. Guo Zijing was used to the hostility of others, but it was the first time to be resented by a little girl. It felt quite strange.

Guo Zijing's memory is extraordinary, since he wanted to understand the crux of the matter, he recalled a little and remembered what happened in the woodcarving shop.

Is it because he realized that he reminded her on purpose?

The little girl was still a bit smart, Guo Zijing laughed it off, picked up the tea and started to drink it by himself.He thought he had nothing to do to the Lin family. No matter why the little girl was upset, he had no guilt in his heart. She could be angry if she wanted to, and it had nothing to do with him.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Guo Zijing put down the teacup and looked at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen raised his voice and asked: "Who is outside the door?"

"What, who, didn't you make an appointment to have dinner here? Quickly open the door for me. I'm going to ride a horse, I'm about to freeze to death!" directly bypassed the screen.

This restaurant is a well-known restaurant in the capital, and those who can book a private room are either rich or expensive, and this kind of people pays attention to etiquette, has a certain degree of advance and retreat, and will not easily trespass on other people's rooms.Therefore, unless the guests have private matters to discuss, no one will deliberately lock the door after entering.

Seeing the few people present, Ji Zhao was extremely shocked, his body froze in place, his gaze swept around, and he couldn't move away when he landed on Guo Baozhu.

Guo Baozhu's face turned red at first, then he stood up, pointed at the door and shouted softly: "What are you looking at, get out!"

Ji Zhao shuddered, not because of Guo Baozhu's anger, but because Guo Zijing stood up.Ji Zhao didn't dare to offend Guo Zijing, so he walked behind Zhao Chen in a hurry, apologizing again and again: "Commander Guo, calm down, Brother Shi, I really didn't mean to break into the door, I made an appointment with my friends to come here for dinner, but I didn't expect to disturb Brother Shi... "

"Get out." Guo Zijing said coldly.

Ji Zhao didn't dare to refuse, walked out in desperation, and still stared at Guo Baozhu fearlessly when he reached the door: "I don't intend to disturb your meal, so let me treat this meal as an apology...Baozhu, you eat deliciously , order whatever you like!" The last two sentences were said after closing the door, before the sound fell, there was already the sound of running in the corridor.

Ah Ju looked at Guo Zijing's livid face, and vaguely guessed why Ji Zhao wanted to run away.

Lin Zhu didn't know what happened. Looking at Guo Baozhu, Guo Baozhu's face was blushing. She didn't know whether it was because of anger or something else.Looking at Guo Zijing, his cold face is not inferior to the intimidating demeanor of his brother-in-law when he was angry.

She lowered her head guiltily, a little regretting that she hadn't suppressed her temper just now, and she didn't know if Guo Zijing had noticed.

And Guo Zijing was listening to the movement downstairs, Ji Zhao left as soon as he left, if he dared to come up, he would break his leg.

"Brother, sit down, he has already run away." Guo Baozhu came back from the window, somewhat unwillingly.Thinking of Ji Zhao's smug smile on his horse waving at her, she really wanted to grab a bowl and throw it down.

Guo Zijing sat down with a sullen face.

Both sisters Ah Ju lowered their eyes, not daring to breathe.

Zhao Chen was upset, and fanned Guo Zijing: "If you're really angry, chase him out and beat him up. What's the point of sitting here with raised eyebrows?"

Guo Baozhu couldn't help but glanced out of the window, if his brother went out now, maybe he could catch up?
Guo Zijing noticed his younger sister's eyes, got up again and walked to the window, saw Ji Zhao riding back from a distance, clearly still wanted to find fault, and walked towards the door without saying a word.

Guo Baozhu was taken aback, and ran to the window, seeing that Ji Zhao had folded back as she expected, he couldn't help but feel tight.Between her elder brother avenging Ji Zhao's beating half to death and her husband's sulking, Guo Baozhu chose the latter, and ignored the surprised gazes of Zhao and Chen, turned around and grabbed a bowl to face Ji. Zhao threw it out.

A fool who wants to stab people even if he has no heart and no guts, does he know that disaster is imminent?
She was strong enough to hit her head, and the porcelain bowl happened to hit the open space in front of Ji Zhao's horse. Ji Zhao was startled, looked up, and saw his wife-to-be standing in front of the window, and quickly closed the window when he looked over.Ji Zhao was surprised and delighted, for some reason, the more fierce and bad Guo Baozhu was, the more he liked it.Grinning, he sat on his horse and looked around.It's rare to meet her, how could she run away after seeing her, at least choose a place to hide and look at her more.

It's a pity that before he could choose his hiding place, he saw Guo Zijing coming out from the door of the restaurant, his eyes met, he was stunned, and Guo Zijing quickly walked towards a big black horse at the door.

Ji Zhao stared blankly, and when he realized it, he almost fell off the horse and turned the horse's head as if fleeing for his life.

He didn't know whose horse it was, he could only be sure that Guo Zijing was definitely not going back home when he got on the horse, he was here to arrest him!
