peasant young lady

Chapter 259 Passing through thousands of flowers

Seeing Du Zhong's lord-like posture, Cheng Xia put the hibiscus in his hand aside, crossed his arms and looked at him angrily, "You are so embarrassed to enslave two children as soon as you come here."

Du Zhong suddenly turned over, supported himself with one hand like a beauty lying on his side, and smiled charmingly at Yang Dalang who was still standing at the door, "Brother, have you missed me in the past month and a half?"

"No one is serious." Yang Dalang glared at him, "If you don't get up yet, what does it look like to make a show of your head and spoil the children."

"Hey," Du Zhong sighed, sat up cross-legged, took a closer look at Yang Dalang and Cheng Xia, and continued to sigh, more accurately described as Gu Ying self-pity, "I can't blatantly marry my group of beauties Entering the door, I am still a loner now. Seeing your husband and wife loving each other now, I miss the life I lived among thousands of flowers a while ago."

Cheng Xia curled her lips in disgust, but still said, "I think you're the one who doesn't touch your body." Du Zhong is not as suave as he said, this guy obviously has never met someone who can make his heart move, A woman who can give him a sense of belonging to his family, but a man like Du Zhong is also good. If he really likes someone in the future, I'm afraid he will be obsessed with it and never regret it.

Du Zhong was stunned for a moment, seeing Cheng Xia took the mufurong and went to the kitchen, quickly flew out of the bed, passed by Yang Dalang, and kicked him, "Let me say I'm making a show of myself," and then chased after Cheng Xia without waiting for Yang Dalang's response. Xia went to the kitchen.

"I'm talking about Miss Cheng, why do you say that a leaf doesn't touch your body?" Du Zhong vigorously brushed up his presence.

"Let's just say it casually," Cheng Xia raised his eyebrows, and looked back at Du Zhong with a bright smile, "Don't worry about it, brother, go out and don't bother me to cook."

The old god Du Zhong was sitting on a chair beside him, "I watch you cook," Du Zhong crossed his legs, took a hibiscus flower and held it in his mouth, very leisurely, "I didn't expect Miss Cheng to be very People who know me well, I will look at Miss Cheng with admiration in the future." Seeing Cheng Xia glaring at him, Du Zhong hurriedly added, "It is even more impressive. Hey, what are you going to do with this flower for cooking?"

How noisy!Cheng Xia rubbed her ears uncomfortably. It was in vain that she hoped that Du Zhong would come back as soon as possible to inquire about the capital, but Du Zhong had been away for so long that she ignored the tuberculosis nature of Du Zhong.While washing the petals with clean water, Cheng Xia said leisurely, "There are so many dishes that Mu Furong can cook, such as stir-fried Furong tofu, Furong drunk chicken, Furong fragrant crab, Furong egg roll, fermented Furong shrimp, Furong Fresh vegetable porridge, Furong fish slices, Furong bamboo shoot puree, Furong three delicacies Dongrong soup, Furong chicken slices. Anyway, I can’t count them.”

Just as Cheng Xia wanted to tell him to go out, he heard Yang Dalang come to greet Du Zhong, "Come here, I have something to ask you."

Cheng Xia turned her head and raised her eyebrows at Yang Dalang with a grateful smile, and finally got rid of this annoying guy.

"I said brother, I still want to watch Miss Cheng cook." Du Zhong was reluctant.

Yang Dalang didn't even look at him, turned around and went back to the main room.When Du Zhong saw it, he quickly chased after him, forget it, the business is important.

Yang Dalang sat on the chair, poured a cup of tea for Eucommia, and asked leisurely, "The former emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. What happened to the capital?"

Du Zhong's face suddenly turned cold, he drank the tea in one gulp, lowered his voice, and then looked at Yang Dalang, "I have four pieces of news for you, but they are all bad news."

Yang Dalang paused the hand that was pouring tea for Du Zhong, then pursed the corner of his mouth lightly, and chuckled calmly, "It seems that I have to think about it first, should I let you talk about it."

Du Zhong raised his eyebrows, "Brother, you don't want to hear these news, if you don't want to know, I won't tell."

Yang Dalang heard the sound of cooking from the kitchen next door, and Xiaolong in the back room was reciting along with Cheng You the "Three Character Classic" he had taught earlier. This kind of life is what he is used to and enjoys, or he can If you don't listen to those things in the capital, the left and right are already far away from him, aren't they?

Du Zhong looked at Yang Dalang who was suddenly silent, and smiled slightly, "Brother, in fact, you have been struggling. No matter how much you like your current life, you can't stop yourself from thinking about things in the capital. Don't deceive yourself. If I don't tell you, you will still ask in two days. Then I might as well say it now, and after I finish speaking, you can weigh it yourself."

Yang Dalang laughed softly, "You still know me, so just tell me."

"The first one," Du Zhong coughed lightly, took a careful look at Yang Dalang, and then said, "Wang Yue has already returned to his post."

Yang Dalang's hands hanging by his sides suddenly tightened, his lips were tightly bit together, his facial muscles were tense, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.After a long time, he came back to his senses, gently took the cup of tea, took a sip, and murmured, "Did you say it in order of priority? If so, the first thing is enough to shock people. item?"

Yang Dalang didn't continue, but Du Zhong understood what he meant, "You will find it harder to accept the following things. The second thing is that the new emperor secured a matchmaker for the fourth prince. By the way, the fourth prince died before the first emperor passed away. , has been canonized as King Xing. This marriage is said to have been entrusted by the first emperor when he was dying, but the imperial decree has not yet been promulgated. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he betrothed Jiang Wei, the daughter of Jiang Zhe, the commander of the army and horses in Jinyiwei, to Jiang Wei. King Xing, but," Du Zhong sighed slightly, "King Xing refused."

Yang Dalang frowned and smiled, "What does his refusal to marry have anything to do with me?"

Du Zhong glanced in the direction of the kitchen with deep meaning, "It has nothing to do with you, but it has a lot to do with Miss Cheng."

Yang Dalang suddenly raised his head and looked at Du Zhong, the coldness in his eyes was obvious, "What do you mean?"

Even though Du Zhong was used to Yang Dalang's various appearances, he shivered with fright at the sudden cold light in his eyes, "King Xing has been ill since the death of the late emperor, and my mother asked me to visit him in his mansion." Fan, how can I say that I am also his cousin, as it should be. I went to Xing Wangfu, and found a painting in his study." Seeing Yang Dalang staring at him with burning eyes, Du Zhong nodded as he wished "That's right, that portrait is exactly Ms. Cheng, and I recognized it at a glance. But what's weird is that although the face in the portrait belongs to Ms. Cheng, whether it's the clothes, hair accessories or makeup at the time, it doesn't match the Ms. Cheng doesn't look like a person now. I can recognize it only because I have been with Ms. Cheng for a long time, and that feeling exists, and I don't think I admit my mistake."

"Clothes, what is she wearing?"

Du Zhong knew that Yang Dalang was asking about the person in the portrait. He wanted to describe it, but he didn't know where to start, "I can't describe it. I've never seen that kind of clothes. It's not the skirts and bijias worn by ordinary women, nor is it Tight-fitting riding clothes, the clothes are much simpler at first glance, and the clothes on the legs tightly wrap the body, which is very bold."

Yang Dalang took a few deep breaths, "What color?"

Du Zhong thought about it carefully, "The upper body should be white, but it doesn't look like the lower body is blue. I have never seen such a color."

Yang Dalang closed his eyes hard, he couldn't figure out all this, but it was enough to bother him. "Did you ask King Xing about this portrait?"

Du Zhong shook his head, "I haven't had time to ask, I entered the Xing Wang's mansion at that time, the housekeeper invited me to the study, and asked me to wait for Xing Wang for a while. But when Xing Wang came in, he saw that I noticed the portrait, he I quickly covered it and was very careful. When I walked away, I obviously heard King Xing scolding the housekeeper, as if he was saying that he had ordered many times that no one could enter the study, and the housekeeper had offended him. taboo."

Seeing that Yang Dalang's complexion was really bad, Du Zhong quickly added, "I came out of King Xing's mansion, and I went to inquire specifically. King Xing was indeed ordered to come to Chong'an County in May, or he had a relationship with Miss Cheng once. , but I can guarantee that King Xing has not connected the woman in the portrait with Miss Cheng, otherwise, based on the state I saw him at that time, he should have found Chong'an County long ago."

Yang Dalang drank tea calmly, "How can you be sure that the person in the portrait is Cheng Xia? Or maybe someone with the same appearance."

Du Zhong shook his head slightly, "The woman in the portrait gives people a feeling of high spirits. I have only felt this feeling from Miss Cheng. And those eyes are like an oasis in the desert, clear and clear. It's exactly the same."

After a long time, Yang Dalang stared at Du Zhong carefully, "Don't tell Cheng Xia about this, don't say a word."

"I know," Du Zhong nodded, "I still have a rule of what to say and what not to say."

"What about the third one?" Yang Dalang shook his head and tried to put this matter aside temporarily, and continued to ask.

Du Zhong suddenly sighed, "I think you also know that the Shao family has been wronged, and then your grandfather and my grandfather Shao Lin were also found in the capital, and now they still live in Shao's mansion. From the second-rank General Fengguo."

Yang Dalang nodded, "General Fengguo has rank but no position, and has no real power at all. He is just giving the Shao family a comfort. Now that he is back, what about Shao Jian and Shao Yuan?"

That was the name of his eldest brother and sister.

Hearing that he didn't even call out his grandfather, Du Zhong knew that his resentment towards Shao Lin was much deeper than he imagined. Du Zhong also knew that he had always had a good relationship with Shao Jian and Shao Yuan, but, hey, " They're all dead."

"What?" Yang Dalang stood up abruptly, standing up too fast and violently, he directly brought all the teacups on the table to the ground, and the porcelain shattered all over the place.The sound of silently reciting the "Three Character Classic" in the back room suddenly stopped, Cheng You came out to look, saw Du Zhong waved his hand to indicate that it was all right, and went back again.

Du Zhong tugged Yang Dalang's sleeve, "This incident directly led to the last bad news, which may have a great impact on you and Miss Cheng."

"What's affecting me?" A smiling voice came, Yang Dalang turned around suddenly, and saw Cheng Xia walking into the room with food, he gave Du Zhong a warning, walked over quickly to take the food, and forced a smile, "He's talking nonsense."

Cheng Xia glanced at the two people suspiciously, and then looked at the broken teacup on the ground. Although he knew that something must have happened, he didn't ask too much, just told Du Zhong, "Go to the kitchen and serve the dishes."

"Come on," Du Zhong readily responded, and fled the scene in a hurry.

But in just a moment, Du Zhong's exclamation and the sound of a plate falling to the ground came from outside, Cheng Xia bit her teeth and rushed out.
