Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 33. Ms. Zhuo’s Extra Story: Shaohua is Full of Love (5)
Xiao Zhu's speed was very fast, and within two days, he found out the origin of the man who intended to disfigure Zhuo Lin.
The truth of the matter is very tacky and nothing new. A certain family who is determined to win the queen's position uses Wenxiner's impulsive and irritable temper to instigate her to find trouble with Zhuo Lin, and then let people sneak into the scene and wait for an opportunity.
If Fu Zheng hadn't rescued him, everyone would have been terrified at the time, and if the other party succeeded and then took the opportunity to escape, I'm afraid this matter would really fall on Wen Xiner.
In the end, the other party naturally got the punishment it deserved, and Zhuo Lin didn't feel any waves when she got this news. On the other hand, Xiao Zhu publicly stated that the Empress had just passed away, and he had no plans to marry another wife in the short term.
Although some old officials strongly objected to the reason that His Majesty did not have an imperial heir, Xiao Zhu was very open and said that he was still under 30. Besides, even if there really was no imperial heir, the royal family was still flourishing. heirs.
As soon as these words came out, it was naturally a sensation in the government and the public, and people's attention was immediately deviated. Except for a few people who are truly loyal to the emperor and who are still interested in the position of the queen, many people turn their attention to the younger princes and grandsons.
The dignitaries in the court are busy, and they are reclusive, so the people who find Zhuo Lin's fault have disappeared without a trace.
But Zhuo Lin still can't relax, and her chance of meeting Fu Zheng has risen to an outrageous height in a short period of time.
This day, Zhuo Lin just came out of the publishing house and stopped when she went out.
Looking at the tall man leaning against the pillar at the door, Zhuo Lin couldn't help sighing.
"Mr. Fu."
Fu Zheng smiled, "Have you got off work?"
Zhuolin said: "Mr. Fu stopped by the door of the publishing house today?"
Of course Fu Zheng also knows that this reason is quite nonsense, "How come? I came here specially to wait for Miss Zhuo to get off work."
Zhuolin said, "I still have something to do."
Fu Zhengdao, "I have to eat if I have something to do. It's 6 o'clock in the afternoon now."
Zhuo Lin stopped walking forward and turned to face Fu Zhengdao, "Mr. Fu, I don't believe you don't know, ordinary girls are rejecting you when they say something is wrong."
Fu Zheng sighed and walked to Zhuo Lin, "Why did you reject me?"
Zhuolin said: "Do you need a reason to reject you?"
Fu Zheng nodded, "I understand."
Zhuolin breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second she heard Fu Zhengdao, "You are in a bad mood today, I will come back tomorrow."
"..." Zhuo Lin took a deep breath, "Mr. Fu, are you busy? I remember you are not from the capital."
Fu Zhengdao, "Yes, but I have been studying and training in the capital for the past few months." He is now the most important young general under the command of the Governor of Jiangzhou, and this time he was also ordered to come to the military school in the capital to study.
Zhuolin said: "I won't leave the capital in the short term."
Fu Zheng blinked rarely, as if he didn't quite understand what Zhuo Lin meant.
Zhuolin turned around and walked out, facing Fu Zhengdao who was following him, "I don't want to act stupid, I don't know what Mr. Fu means, but... we are not suitable. First, I don't have this In terms of thinking, whether it is a romantic night or a marriage, there is no way. Second, I can't leave the capital, and Mr. Fu obviously can't stay in the capital. Third..."
"What's the third?" Fu Zheng didn't put first and second in his eyes, but was more interested in what Zhuo Lin said later.
Zhuo Lin said, "I don't like Mr. Fu's type, and I don't think Mr. Fu likes my type. Hue can only deceive people for a while, and Mr. Fu will understand after a long time. "
Fu Zheng was dissatisfied, "Why do you say which type I like? Also, which one do you like? Xiao Zhu's type?"
Zhuolin raised her eyebrows lightly, noncommittal.
Fu Zheng raised his hands and hugged his neck and walked beside Zhuo Lin, while saying: "What kind of eyes do you have? What do you like about a weak chicken like Xiao Zhu?"
Zhuolin corrected, "That's a modest gentleman."
Fu Zheng sneered at this, "Gentleman? Haven't you ever seen that guy act like a scheming person? A hypocrite is about the same."
Zhuolin is helpless, "What do you want to say?"
Fu Zhengdao, "Your vision is not good! Xiao Zhu has a lot of messes that he can't solve. Do you think he can be with you? I'm different. Do it for you. It doesn't matter if you don't want to leave the capital, I can come to the capital."
Zhuo Lin laughed and looked at him, "Are you going to be your majesty's subordinate?" For some reason, she felt very disobedient when she thought of Fu Zheng's respect for Xiao Zhu and his courteousness.
"..." Fu Zheng thought about it carefully, this is not right, if he and Xiao Zhu are rivals in love, wouldn't he come to the capital to be inferior?
After thinking for a while, Fu Zheng raised his head and said, "If you think my status is low, give me some time to ask for marriage after I kill Xue Huaiming?"
"..." Zhuo Lin was very speechless. She didn't even know how the topic between her and him came to begging for marriage? and...
"Is it alright to say this kind of thing casually?" If it reached the ears of the Governor of Jiangzhou, Fu Zheng could die first.
Fu Zheng said with a smile: "I believe in you, even if I really die in your hands, I will be happy."
“…”
Zhuo Lin suddenly felt that this smile was a little too dazzling. In terms of appearance, Fu Zheng is definitely not bad, but compared with Xiao Zhu, it is still a bit more rough and less refined and elegant than the royal family.
But such a tall and heroic man has a heroic and infectious power that the children of the royal family and aristocratic families like Xiao Zhu and Zhang Jingzhi do not have.
One is as bright as the moon in the night sky, while the other is as bright as the noon sun.
Since she talked to Fu Zheng, Zhuo Lin found that Fu Zheng did not retreat in spite of difficulties, but appeared in front of her more frequently.
Fu Zheng is now studying at the Lecture Martial Arts Hall in Beijing, which is not far from Beijing University. Those who come here to study are promising young officers from all over the country and they are not nervous because Fu Zheng has plenty of time.
Joelin is helpless about this.
On the other hand, Zhuo Lin's own troubles are not small, because she used to be a big show in the capital, but now there are more people who come to her.
Originally, everyone was worried about whether His Majesty had any thoughts on Zhuo Lin, but since His Majesty said that he has no plans to establish a concubine in the short term, other people naturally have no such concerns.
It's not that Zhuo Lin can't deal with these young talents who came to show her love, but she is worried that if such a big battle occurs, the Sheng family will come to her door.
"Arlene." Zhuo Lin walked out of the dormitory yard and saw a tall young man in uniform standing under a tree not far away.
She froze for a while and walked over, and the other party smiled at her, "It's really you."
A flash of light flashed in Zhuo Lin's mind, "You...you are the cousin of the Long family?"
The young man smiled calmly, "I'm Long Xiao, it seems that you have forgotten, we met."
Zhuolin recalled it carefully and smiled, "It was more than ten years ago." She actually didn't remember what Long Xiao looked like. After all, Long Xiao, who was only a teenager more than ten years ago, is unlikely to be now. look. And Zhuo Lin, who was only six or seven years old at the time, could remember this incident, and it would be too difficult to remember her looks even if she was talented and smart.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Twelve years ago, when your grandfather passed away, your sister was only eleven years old."
Zhuolin looked at Long Xiao and didn't speak. Long Xiao seemed to understand what she was worried about and smiled, "Don't worry, the Sheng family doesn't know you're here yet. I'm also because your sister wrote to us at the end of last year to ask for our help. Keep an eye out for your news, as it happens that this time..."
Long Xiao looked at her meaningfully, "Arlene, yes, your grandfather would be proud of you if he was still alive."
Zhuolin smiled helplessly, "I almost forgot what my grandfather looked like. Cousin, can I trouble you with something?"
"Don't tell the Sheng family about your whereabouts?" Long Xiao said clearly.
Zhuolin nodded, Long Xiao shook his head and said, "If you don't want them to find you, you shouldn't be so high-profile. Although the Sheng family has lived in the south for a long time and has no news, but they are not really isolated from the world. There are still a lot of their old friends in the capital. This time you have become famous in one fell swoop, do you think the Sheng family will not notice?"
Zhuolin said, "I want to stay away from the Sheng family, but it is impossible for me to remain anonymous for more than ten years. I have to go my own way. I don't need to do anything from my cousin, just don't tell them. If they Come to the door...let's talk about it later."
"Your sister didn't tell?" Long Xiao asked.
Zhuolin shook her head, "There are enough things that she worries about herself. If she knows about it but doesn't tell her family, she will be blamed when she goes back home. She can't get over it herself, but it's better if she doesn't know."
Long Xiao looked at Zhuo Lin and sighed, "You and your sister are really different."
Sheng Zhuoyan, the eldest young lady of the Sheng family, is a well-known lady in the south of the Yangtze River. She has outstanding talent, beautiful appearance and gentle temperament. On the contrary, Sheng Zhuolin, the second lady of the Sheng family, is not well-known. Now it seems that the Sheng family did it deliberately. After all, she is obviously a deviant master in her bones.
Zhuo Lin frowned and said, "My sister just thinks too much. She is not well, and she is always worried. I'm just afraid of her..." As the saying goes, wisdom will be hurt, and love will not last. Outsiders always think that the Sheng sisters are older sisters and worry more about their younger sisters. In fact, Zhuo Lin started worrying about her older sisters when she was in her early ten years.
She always feels that it is not a good thing for a person to suppress herself too much and to think too much.
Long Xiao also knew that the eldest cousin married into the Wei family, a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. The eldest young master of the Wei family is also said to be weak.
But Sheng Zhuoyan has been married to the Wei family for several years and has not seen any news.
These are of course what his mother said. Long Xiao himself is not familiar with Sheng Zhuoyan or Sheng Zhuolin. Even the fact that Zhuo Lin ran away from home was written by Sheng Zhuoyan to her cousin who is Mrs. Long, and Mrs. Long told her son that he knew about it.
"Okay, you can do it yourself. I still have to stay in the capital for a month. If you have anything to do, you can come to the Wutang to find me." Long Xiao urged.
Zhuo Lin nodded and thanked her cousin, then heard Long Xiao's voice change suddenly and asked, "By the way, what's the matter with you and Fu Zheng?"
Zero Lin blinked, "What?"
Long Xiao said with a smile, "How did I doubt your identity?" It's just that the name Zhuo Lin is not enough to make Long Xiao think of his cousin who hasn't seen each other for more than ten years.
"Fu Zheng beat up those who wanted to pursue you in the martial arts hall two days ago. Has it been a lot quieter these two days?" Long Xiao teased with great interest.
"..." Zhuo Lin didn't know what to show for a while. There were indeed many young officers who spoke martial arts among the people who came to block her.
Long Xiao said: "Fu Zheng is now also a promising son-in-law of those powerful families in the capital. When he makes a move, I don't know how many people will be disappointed."
Zhuo Lin couldn't help laughing, "Cousin, isn't it?" The students of this advanced training class in the martial arts hall are young and excellent generals from all over the world, and Fu Zheng and Long Xiao are the most outstanding figures among them.
Although it is said that the two of them have immediate bosses now, as long as they are willing to stay in the capital, they have a promising future, aren't they the quick son-in-law of many people?
Long Xiao shook his head and sighed, "The family is already looking at each other, and when I go back this time, I'm ready to get married."
"Congratulations to my cousin, then I will definitely send a congratulatory gift." Zhuo Lin smiled.
Long Xiao said, "Just a congratulatory gift? Although we don't know each other well, my mother keeps talking about you."
Mrs. Long lived in Jiangnan for a while due to her health in the early years, and was very fond of both girls from the Sheng family. In particular, Zhuo Lin, who was smart and alert at a young age, was obsessed with it and wanted to bring her back to the north to be her daughter.
If it weren't for this, a cousin who is three thousand miles away would not let Mrs. Long specifically tell her son.
Zhuo Lin was a little helpless, "I'm afraid the Sheng family will go too. If I go, will it not interfere with my cousin's wedding?"
Long Xiao shook his head, "If you want to go, no one in the Long family can do anything to you. No...don't change the subject, what's the matter with you and Fu Zheng?"
Zhuolin said, "It's really nothing."
Long Xiao gave her a "Do you think I believe it?" expression, touched her chin and said, "Actually, Fu Zheng is also pretty good."
"Where's good?" Zorin asked.
Long Xiao said: "I'm very good at fighting. One person beats seven or eight people and only loses a lot of money. If I wasn't afraid of their misunderstanding, I would like to learn from him."
Hearing that Fu Zheng had hung up the paint, Zhuo Lin's heart moved slightly.
Suddenly blinked and said, "Cousin, do you want to run first?"
"Run?" Long Xiao was puzzled, "Run for what?"
Zhuo Lin pointed behind him, "Fu Zheng is here, I think he may have made a mistake..." Before the words were finished, Fu Zheng had already blown towards Long Xiao like a gust of wind.
He threw a punch unceremoniously, and Long Xiao hurriedly leaned back to avoid the punch.
"Fu Zheng, you haven't played enough yet?"
Fu Zheng said coldly, "Just move your muscles and bones."
Zhuo Lin let out a long sigh and said quickly, "Stop it all! Fu Zheng, he is me..." Before she could finish speaking, she heard Long Xiao laugh, "Everyone has a love for beauty, What's the matter? You can only chase? Has Arlene agreed?"
A, Lin! !
"Long Xiao, you are courting death!" Fu Zheng snorted coldly.
Everyone is studying in one place, so he naturally heard that Long Xiao was engaged. Two days ago, there were still discussions in the martial arts hall. After this training, Long Xiao was going to get married.
I didn't take this guy seriously, but I didn't expect this **** to dare to lie to Arlene!
Long Xiao said with a smile while parrying, "Alin, what's the use of such a fool? Why don't you consider me?"
"..." Zhuo Lin smiled, I will tell my cousin and future cousin.
The two of them fought from the side of the road to the nearby grove. They thought that the uniform on them was getting in the way. They took off their jackets and threw them to Zhuo Lin next to them.
Zhuo Lin leaned against the tree trunk with two coats in her arms and watched the two battling into a ball.
The fight ended with Fu Zhengluo gaining the upper hand.
It's not that Long Xiao can't beat Fu Zheng, but it's not necessary. After all, the two don't really have a life-and-death feud.
Of course, in Fu Zheng's view, he may indeed have hatred, so he is particularly motivated.
"Is the fight over?" Seeing that the two of them were sitting on the ground and did not intend to do anything, Zhuo Lin stood up and asked.
"Arlene..." Fu Zheng turned his head to look at Zhuo Lin, the face that had been beaten so much blue looked a bit pitiful.
Zhuolin couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at Long Xiao.
Long Xiao spread out his hands to indicate that he was fine, reached out to catch the coat Zhuo Lin threw over, and stood up.
Put on my clothes and pat the dust on my body, except for the bruise on the corner of my mouth, I still have a graceful demeanor, "I have an appointment with someone, Arlene, brother Fu Zheng, see you later?"
Zhuolin was a little speechless. She made an appointment with someone with a hurt face. You really have a face.
Long Xiao walked to Zhuo Lin's side, chuckled softly and approached her in a low voice, "Alin, invite you for coffee another day?"
Although it was a low voice, it was just the volume that Fu Zheng could hear, as if it was deliberately audible.
Zhuolin looked up at Long Xiao, who smiled meaningfully at her and waved away.
“…”
There were only two people left in the woods, Zhuo Lin stared at the person sitting on the ground for a while, raised her hand and threw her coat on him, "Get up."
Fu Zheng looked at her, "I can't get up."
Zhuolin raised her eyebrows slightly, with a look of suspicion on her face.
It's not the first time that Fu Zheng has tricked her.
Seeing that she didn't believe Fu Zheng, she pouted, "Really, my leg hurts."
"Long Xiao didn't kick your leg just now." Zhuo Lin said.
Fu Zhengdao, "It's not him."
Zhuo Lin immediately remembered what Long Xiao said, and Fu Zheng had overthrown seven or eight young officers in the Yanwu Hall. Naturally, those who can enter the Lecture Hall will not be ordinary characters. It is almost impossible for Fu Zheng to knock down a group of people by himself.
For a while, Zhuo Lin had a headache, "If you're injured, don't take a good rest, why run around?"
Fu Zhengdao, "Long Xiao is getting married, don't lie to him."
"I know." Zhuo Lin said angrily, "He was joking."
Fu Zheng stretched out his hand and touched the injury on his cheekbone, and he gasped in pain, "I don't think he's joking, be careful." Do you need such a heavy hand for a joke? Long Xiao, that bastard, took advantage of his injury to attack!
"Can you go? Do you want to see the doctor?" Zhuo Lin raised him up and asked with a frown.
Fu Zheng tried it, but nodded and said, "It's fine."
Only then did Zhuo Lin feel relieved and said, "Those classmates in Yanwutang will be your comrades or rivals in the future. Don't fight with people casually. You are no longer an ignorant child."
"Are you worried about me?" Fu Zheng looked down at her and smiled.
Zhuolin sneered, "It's useless to think about nothing, I'm afraid that you will kill someone or you will be beaten to death, and others will say that I am a troublemaker."
Fu Zheng was a little disappointed, "Aren't you annoyed? They won't dare to come to you in the future."
Zhuolin said, "I also think you are annoying, why do you still come?"
Fu Zhengdao, "That's not possible, you must have not discovered my advantages, just look at it more."
Zhuolin is speechless, I will bear it.
You have to go back to Jiangnan next month anyway.
Although Fu Zheng is older than herself, Zhuo Lin thinks that she is not incapable of understanding this kind of male creature whose IQ has plummeted due to being overwhelmed by love.
When he leaves the capital and feels the inconvenience of being separated by two places and Yingge Yanwu being close at hand, he will understand how boring it is to be obsessed with ghosts during this time.
Although she did not agree with Fu Zheng's behavior, Zhuo Lin had to admit that Fu Zheng really helped her a lot.
Since that day, the young officers of the Jiangwutang have not appeared in front of her again.
And the children of the noble families in the capital heard that Zhuo Lin had such a fierce suitor, and they all retreated. After all, beauty is very important, but if someone breaks a bone with a punch, it will not be worth the loss.
As for the few who persisted and refused to retire, Zhuo Lin could also solve it by herself.
In the blink of an eye, the time for Fu Zheng and other young officers to study in the capital was over. Long Xiao came to bid farewell to Zhuo Lin one day earlier and invited her to attend his wedding in the four northern provinces.
Zhuolin could only thank her with regret, and gave Long Xiao the wedding gift she had prepared in advance.
When Long Xiao left, Fu Zhengcai, who was hiding in the dark, came out. Looking at someone's far-away back, he snorted twice, the sour smell in the air overflowing.
How long has it been since these two have grown to the point of giving gifts? ! Although it was a wedding gift, Fu Zheng was still not very happy. He hadn't even received any gifts from Arlene.
Zhuo Lin is in a good mood and doesn't care about him, "You also came to say goodbye? Wish you a smooth journey?"
Fu Zheng secretly had luck, stared at Zhuo Lin and said, "I'm leaving, don't you have any indication?"
Zhuo Lin thought about it for a while. She was rescued. Although it made her a little annoying during this time, it did help her. It is also appropriate to give a parting gift, but thinking of Mr. Fu's unintelligible thoughts, Zhuo Lin said coldly, "No."
"You woman..." Fu Zheng was very depressed. Although he had never been in love before, his background was considered wealthy. After joining the army, Fu Zheng, who had a smooth journey, knew his conditions. Even if there are a bunch of girls rushing towards him without hooking his hands, he won't be indifferent after chasing him for so long, right?
The bees and butterflies in the capital are the proof.
Fu Zhengdao: "You already gave Long Xiao a gift, why didn't you give it to me? Isn't our relationship better than him?"
"..." He's my cousin, are you?
Zhuolin sighed, "Mr. Fu, please face up to your age, don't pretend to be an ignorant child, okay?"
"You dislike me for getting older?!" Fu Zheng was shocked.
Zhuolin said, "You can say the same." It's really big.
Age has no regrets and cannot be changed.
He's been born for almost thirty years, and he can't be stuffed back into his mother's belly to be born again.
"..." Fu Zhengman left in despair.
Zhuo Lin looked at his bleak back and blinked. Was the blow so big?
Watching someone's back for a long time, Zhuo Lin couldn't help but chuckle.
