There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 880|Seventy-eighth dragon scales (six)

The seventy-eighth dragon scales (six)

An inch of land in the capital is an inch of gold. Unfortunately, Linglong and Zhu Xingyuan are not short of money. It’s just that buying a house also depends on the location and luck. It doesn’t mean that you can buy whichever one you like. Zhu Xingyuan doesn’t like big things. The house, except for a slightly smaller mansion that he temporarily bought, he directly bought a plot of land in the most beautiful place in the suburbs of Beijing, hired workers, dug out candy and built pavilions and waterside pavilions according to his own ideas. , Even the furniture inside was drawn by himself and made by himself.

He does everything with ease and confidence, and always cherishes every minute and second he spends with Linglong.

The candidates who came to take the test are all talents from various states and provinces, and there are countless talents among them. There are still half a month before the test, Zhu Xingyuan is still like before. , Occasionally spread out a calligraphy and painting, it will be astonished, without leaving home, they rely on calligraphy and painting to become famous all over the world.

There are also many people who come to visit, but he does not see any guests. Even the prince who appreciates his calligraphy and painting personally visits the door. He is arrogant and does not bow his head to the world. Hearing that one of Zhu Xingyuan's words can already be sold for hundreds of taels of silver!

The world thinks that he is reading and painting at home, but in fact he is playing with Linglong.

When the test is over, look at the top member of the list. Sure enough, it is Zhu Xingyuan, a talented scholar from Tongzhou who is famous for his calligraphy and painting. Everyone is convinced of him, but this person has a quirky temper. If the royal family wants to ask for a word, they have to follow the rules honestly, let alone ordinary people?

Zhu Xingyuan was a blockbuster in the palace exam. Even the emperor who read his papers praised his excellent writing, and named him the champion on the spot. The capital has set off a fever of Zhu Xingyuan, and many people want to send their children to apprentice, and offer 10,000 taels of gold.

The champion was riding a horse and parading through the streets, and Zhu Xingyuan was unparalleled in his beauty and handsomeness. Many people have gray hair after many years, and they still recall the appearance of this heaven and man they saw in those days.

Afterwards, Zhuangyuan Lang entered the Hanlin, and he has always been highly regarded by the emperor. On weekdays, no one would want to see others except on errands. If it was all right, he would definitely be accompanying his wife at home, and he would not attend any parties and banquets. There were many people in Beijing who slandered them behind their backs, but he didn't care.

I asked Zhu Xingyuan to say that he didn't even want to enter the Hanlin Academy, he just wanted to be by Linglong's side.

Leaving her every day makes him feel very difficult.

Linglong, on the other hand, doesn't have so many worries about parting. Now they have settled down in the capital, and the land on the outskirts of Beijing has almost been built. Zhu Xingyuan said that she can move there in a month, but she is looking forward to it.

Linglong also has an indifferent attitude towards the rumors about her in Beijing. As long as she doesn't face her, she will be fine.

They bought a few servants to serve at their house, the housekeepers to cook and cook, especially the cooks. I wish Xingyuan had a thousand choices. It must be exquisite and satisfactory. Life is peaceful and beautiful, every minute and every minute. Every second is worth cherishing.

A month later, they moved into a new home. The new home covers a large area and is very elegant. He and Linglong live in the center, and the servant room is at the front. In this bustling and noisy capital, their home is like a paradise, which is fascinating.

Although Zhu Xingyuan entered the Hanlin, his calligraphy and painting were famous all over the world, and he was very popular with the emperor. He was soon promoted to a bachelor's degree. He has always had his own opinions on political affairs. After all, he lived so much more The person who has seen and experienced far exceeds the emperor and courtiers, but he is not greedy for power, and he never takes the initiative to take matters into his own hands. He only proposes methods. As for how to implement it, it is the emperor and ministers This is the case. The emperor often lamented that he was smart and approachable. If it wasn't for Zhu Xingyuan's indifference to fame and fortune, he would never have dared to reuse it.

There are countless dignitaries who want to please him. The emperor laughed and said that he was rejected even if he wanted to send the prince to him to study, let alone others? As soon as everyone heard it, it was all right, not even the prince, Mr. Zhu, let alone his own slut?

When the New Year's Eve arrived, Zhu Xingyuan received a letter from his family. After he won the champion, he did not go back. Instead, he sent someone to spread the good news and sent a lot of money back. With his reputation, the Tongzhou government would not Someone dared to provoke Zhu's family. The letter was said in the tone of Mrs. Zhu. First, he expressed his joy for him being the champion, and then expressed his longing for his long absence. At the end of the letter, it was mentioned that Cuiyun had married The other party has a wealthy family, a good character, and is also a scholar. Now Cuiyun is pregnant, and the couple is living a good life. Then they ask Zhu Xingyuan, is your wife pregnant?

This is also a piece of my heart that I wish for my father and my wife. It stands to reason that if the new wife enters the door, there will be news in two or three months sooner. ? You can't call your youngest son to die, right?

Zhu Xingyuan also replied with a letter, in which he unceremoniously stated that his parents were ill and that it would be difficult for his wife to get pregnant, and asked his parents to hide it for himself. May the wife endure the pain of childbirth.

The old couple hoped for the stars and the moon and looked forward to the reply from the youngest. When they saw this, they were greatly shocked, and they immediately burned the letter. After that, they were asked by people from the side. The two of us are too old to care. The youngest loves his wife and doesn’t want to have children. Let’s wish that we still have few children, and we can adopt one at that time!

As famous as Zhu Xingyuan's talent, is his beloved wife Rufus.

In this era when a man has three wives and four concubines, it is unbelievable that he has only one wife by his side, and that he is indifferent to other women who show affection! Back then, when the champion was riding a horse and parading through the streets, he hooked the souls of many women. Who wouldn't want to meet the woman who was treasured by Mr. Zhu? It's a pity that Mr. Zhu himself doesn't like to attend banquets, and he never lets his wife show up. Now that Mr. Zhu is an official bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, no one has seen Mrs. Zhu!

Mr. Zhu is not shy about praising his wife outside. In his mouth, even the goddess in the sky can't compare to his wife. The wife is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and poetry. He is better than him. The man who talked about his wife without saying anything, but also complimented it, it is really unbelievable.

After this, some people began to doubt whether "Mrs. Zhu" even existed.

If it exists, how can Mr. Zhu have lived in the capital for four years, but he has never met anyone? It's fine not to participate in the usual banquets, not even the annual palace banquet as Mr. Zhu's daughter-in-law, which makes one have to wonder whether "Mrs. Zhu" even exists.

And Linglong often sleeps in vicissitudes, so what is four years? She has a book of unfinished delicacies that she can't finish at home every day. Except for the time she spends playing, Zhu Xingyuan will always be by her side. She doesn't want to go out, so Zhu Xingyuan can still drag her out by pulling her legs. Can't do it? As for the ups and downs outside, as long as she doesn't tell her face, she really doesn't care.

But Zhu Xingyuan is only in his twenties. He was born well and does not look old. There are still quite a few peach blossoms - no, there are deviations in many descriptions, it is overwhelming!

However, this man has a world-shaking talent, but he is not at all emotional. No matter what tricks he uses, he turns a blind eye.

"It's snowing outside." Zhu Xingyuan returned home today and brought Linglong a bag of fried chestnuts with sugar that just came out of the pot.

She lay lazily on the beauty couch. The beauty couch was placed beside the bed. When she opened the carved wooden window, she could see snowflakes blown up by the wind outside the corridor. I went to a playground, which was buried by the heavy snow at the moment, but the simple and solemn buildings in black and red, intertwined with the pure white snowflakes, were a different kind of beauty.

The room was warm and warm. Zhu Xingyuan sat next to Linglong and peeled the chestnuts for her. The chestnuts were very well fried, sweet and glutinous, and there was a fragrance of honey. Linglong sipped each one. She wanted to grab the snowflakes outside, but there were only a few stars in the corridor. She finally pinched them a little and wiped them all onto Zhu Xingyuan's nose.

He smiled good-naturedly, and Linglong stretched out his hands, asking him to peel chestnuts for himself, and ask him to hug.

Zhu Xingyuan wiped her hands, picked her up from the beautiful couch, lay down on her own, and let her lean on his chest to see the snow scene, and then continued to peel her chestnuts. Recently, she has become more and more fond of sleeping, otherwise It's not like she hasn't stepped out of the door for several years, she was sleeping when he left, and she was sleeping when he came back, but she was always so sweet and cute when she was awake.

Never really lose his temper with him, even if he occasionally loses his temper, he is acting like a spoiled child.

In these years with her, he often heard people accuse her of being ruthless, without the softness and blood and tears of being a human being, but Zhu Xingyuan felt that she should be the most gentle person he had ever met, after all, she was incomparably small, She could have completely ignored him.

But she didn't drop him.

So he loved her so much that he didn't want to leave her.

"I'm going to build such a big snowman later--" Linglong opened his mouth to eat a chestnut, then stretched out his arms and gestured, "It's going to be this big~!"

"Good."

She was in good spirits today and looked bright. Zhu Xingyuan's eyebrows and eyes were gentle: "Are you still sleepy?"

"I'm not so sleepy anymore." After saying that, Linglong yawned and put his arm around him, deliberately letting him peel chestnuts with one hand, with a smug smile on his face, I wish Xingyuan a smile and take advantage of the situation Put the freshly peeled one in your mouth.

Linglong's eyes widened immediately, she rushed to grab it, her lips and tongues intertwined, and she shared this extra sweet chestnut. A gust of wind blew outside, curling their long hair, blending in the air, and couldn't be separated for a long time.

Linglong was satisfied after making a fuss, lying on Zhu Xingyuan's chest: "I will accompany you to the palace banquet this year."

"Huh?" He touched her little face lovingly, "No need, just stay at home."

"No." Linglong said fiercely, "If you don't take the oath of sovereignty, no one will know that you have the Lord!"

She is so cute that Zhu Xingyuan couldn't help laughing, her chest heaving, she was slapped by the annoyed Linglong, and finally hugged her tightly: "Okay, as long as you want, you can do anything."

"Don't think that I don't know how many rotten peach blossoms you have when I'm at home every day." Linglong poked his chest, "This one and that one, the daughter of the prince, the daughter of the emperor, the daughter of the minister, the daughter of the wealthy ... Would you like to collect all 108 for you to make a group of flowers, so that you can read it from time to time when you are bored?"

Zhu Xingyuan couldn't laugh, bowed her head and kissed her pink face, "I only love you, I don't like others."

No matter how she lost her temper, how willful she made some unreasonable demands, he always smiled and satisfied, never got angry with her, he was reluctant to push her away in the first world, and the same is true now, who Can you afford it? When you meet such a person in your limited life, you must cherish and care for her, and never let her be attacked by wind and rain.

It's not all smooth sailing for him outside, and he always has some troubles, but Zhu Xingyuan never mentions it to Linglong, and he encounters many traps. There are always people who like to watch beautiful women suffer, heroes twilight, and Gao Fengliang Festival being dirty Dip dye, but I wish Xingyuan can always get through all this safely.

The annual palace banquet is a time when the female relatives are competing for beauty. Zhu Xingyuan is born like a **** and has great talents. Although he has a wife and a famous wife in his family, everyone knows that, but no one has ever seen that legend. Mrs. Zhu in the middle, so there are many people who fall in love with him, but some are daring, some are timid, and the timid hold their love in their hearts, but the daring dare to show their love in public, such as the emperor's favorite daughter, Princess Xincheng.

If these women who adore Zhu Xingyuan are considered iron fans, then Princess Xincheng is the iron powder among these iron fans, referred to as "brain powder".

She prides herself on being noble and disdainful of the pursuit of many young talents.

A woman who can't have children and can only occupy her husband. She hasn't shown up for many years, and I don't know how to take care of Mr. Zhu. You must know that the relationship between the female relatives is likely to affect the overall situation. This Mrs. Zhu doesn't care about it. Like a smart guy.

In addition, there are a group of people who are hostile to Mrs. Zhu, who belong to my brother Dumei fans.

They know that they are not worthy of Zhu Xingyuan, so they are never wishful thinking, but they are full of hostility and contempt for any woman who wants to have a relationship with Zhu Xingyuan, thinking that they are not worthy of Mr. Zhu, who is like a goddess. As Mr. Zhu's wife, Linglong naturally bore the brunt of their thorns.

Those rumors about her being bad are probably concocted by this group of fans.

They think that people like Mr. Zhu should be high above the ground, and that no woman should approach to sully his sanctity, but at present everyone's goal is the same, that is, I can't do it, and neither can anyone else! Mr. Zhu should be shared by everyone, and should not be monopolized by anyone!

Especially that Mrs. Zhu, I heard that she met Mr. Zhu in poverty, but it was only because of the friendship back then that Mr. Zhu would never abandon her!

It is said that Mrs. Zhu is still a businesswoman with a low status. How can such a lowly person be worthy of being Mr. Zhu's wife? Some people even speculate maliciously that the reason why Madam Zhu has not gone out for many years is that she is afraid of her own incompetence, so dare not!

Linglong got up early in the morning to get up and dress up. Zhu Xingyuan also got up early with her and put on her makeup himself. He has a pair of skillful hands and can learn everything quickly.

This is a very good color, and the makeup is even more dazzling and dazzling. Linglong does not have the idea that going to the palace banquet today cannot be too eye-catching. She even no longer restrains her own momentum, maybe it is After sleeping for a few years, her spirit has indeed improved a lot, and she has become more and more radiant.

The snowman built a few days ago was still intact. When passing by the snowman, Linglong squeezed a little snow and threw it into someone's neck while Zhu Xingyuan didn't pay attention. It was so bad that Zhu Xingyuan shivered and the snow touched people The skin quickly opened, bringing a penetrating coolness.

He wasn't angry either, and pinched Linglong's earlobe amusingly. The small, round earlobes were wearing golden jewels, which he took out in the mustard space, and it was most in line with Linglong's liking, because they were extra bright.

He himself is dressed very grandly today. He is dressed in white crescent moon, and has a jade crown. not come.

This is not the first time to enter the palace. Linglong is not timid. Seeing the carriage of Zhu's family parked in front of the palace gate, everyone came to greet Zhu Xingyuan. After a few years, everyone knew him very well. When it touches Mr. Zhu's bottom line, then he is a very easy-going person, gentle and elegant, and has a noble character - and his bottom line is his wife. Someone once insinuated Mrs. Zhu in front of him for not having children for many years. , Later... The world knows that it turns out that Mr. Zhu is not always good-natured, his wife is his anti-scale, and no one can slander him.

This is also the reason why Linglong never goes out all these years, but the rumors about her are still not widespread.

Zhu Xingyuan doesn't matter what the identity of the person who chews the tongue is, he dares to teach you a lesson, even if you are a nobleman. If you think that he is as bad-tempered as he looks on the surface, it would be wrong, and the Xincheng Princess ate it in his hands It was a big loss, and since then I dare not speak ill of Linglong in public.

However, this princess may be a trembling M in her bones, and she is still infatuated with Zhu Xingyuan. This time at the palace banquet, Princess Xincheng is also dressed up, trying to show all her beauty, not to mention that Mr. Zhu is attracted to him, but asked him to watch more Both eyes are good.

Thinking of seeing Mr. Zhu again today, Princess Xincheng's heart was pounding, she sent someone to wait at the gate of the palace, and once Mr. Zhu arrived, she would notify her immediately, so that she could talk to him "Encounter".

Zhu Xingyuan nodded to the colleagues who came to say hello, but did not go in with them. Everyone couldn't help but look at him strangely, only to see Zhu Xingyuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and stretched out a small hand as slender as jade from the carriage.

A true beauty looks beautiful even on her hands.

When they saw that face, it almost made the world pale, and everyone didn't even dare to take a breath, for fear that this beauty was their own illusion, and if they breathed, they would make her disappear.

Until Zhu Xingyuan held Linglong's hand, no one recovered: "Mr. Zhu, this, this is..."

"It's my beloved wife, surnamed Long."

Zhu Xingyuan has always disliked titles such as Jiannei and Zhuojing, and he has never used them himself.

Linglong's appearance immediately stifled countless rumors before, whether she was ashamed of herself or her appearance without salt, how could she be ashamed of such a beautiful woman?

"Hello everyone."

The beauty looked around, and she followed Mr. Zhu's hand and got out of the carriage. Unlike other couples who were in tandem, they walked hand in hand. It was obviously not in compliance with the rules, but it was indescribable. words come.

Always feel that they are born to be like this.

What she saw when Princess Xincheng arrived was such a scene. She was thinking about Mr. Zhu holding another woman's hand, and her eyebrows and eyes were gentle like she had never seen before. This person has a good temper with everyone. When people face themselves, they don't even give a smile.

Who is that person?

Seeing Linglong's face again, Princess Xincheng, who was very confident in her today's self, suddenly stood in place and couldn't move. She stared blankly at Zhu Xingyuan and Linglong who never passed by, the planned "random encounter", At this moment, it has become a bubble.

"That's Mrs. Zhu? It's unbelievable. I can't blame Mr. Zhu for hiding her at home all these years."

"If it was me, I wouldn't be willing to let such a person experience these worldly things..."

"Yes, yes, what is the matter of interpersonal communication, doesn't that tarnish Mrs. Zhu?"

Princess Xincheng was standing in a very hidden place. The officials who passed by her talked with great enthusiasm about Mrs. Zhu, who had just caught a glimpse. Their words were all sincere, and they hurt Princess Xincheng even more. lady? Is that Mr. Zhu's wife? A wife who has not been out for many years and is raised in a deep boudoir?

She had imagined what it would be like to meet someone, how she would pose, what she would say, and now, all her sense of superiority was gone.

"The two are a perfect match."

"Who said Mrs. Zhu was born in a businesswoman? I don't think that even a royal princess is extravagant."

"Shhh - keep your voice down and don't even look at this place! If anyone hears you, be careful with your disrespect!"

"But then again, Mrs. Zhu is really a fairy-like person. I was thinking about what kind of person is worthy of Mr. Zhu, but now I see that she is really talented and beautiful."

……

Xincheng Princess stood there for a long time, her fists clenched until she felt pain. After a while, she adjusted her expression, raised her chin slightly, showed the pride of a royal princess, and walked inside.

From childhood to adulthood, she can get whatever she likes, and this time is no exception.
