After that day, Zhou Chen never mentioned Jia Baoyu again.

On the third day, Zhou Chen accompanied his mother, Mrs. Gao, to Lingtai Temple. Only when they arrived at Lingtai Temple did they find out that his mother had invited Mrs. Lin's family to find Master Mingjing to count auspicious days together.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Gao went to see Master Mingjing, and Zhou Chen wandered around with his servant.

"Jiuye, I heard that Miss Lin came to Lingtai Temple with Mrs. Lin." It was Yushi, the servant next to Zhou Chen, who spoke.

Zhou Chen squinted at him, "Talking too much."

After being glared at by his master, Yushi immediately fell silent.

Danqing smiled and said, "Jiu Ye, you have been here many times in Master Mingjing's courtyard, and you are tired of seeing the scenery, how about going around the back mountain? I heard that there is a peach grove in the back mountain, and now it is full of peach blossoms When it’s in full bloom, why don’t you go and see it, my lord?”

"Then go and have a look." It's okay to be idle anyway.

Zhou Chen walked towards the back mountain with two young servants, but he met Daiyu on the way, and Daiyu was accompanied by a maid.

Seeing Daiyu, Zhou Chen's heart beat fast, and he couldn't help approaching her.

Daiyu didn't seem to have expected to meet Zhou Chen, she was stunned for a moment, her feet slipped and she fell forward.

"what--"

A short exclamation sounded, and Zhou Chen's body reacted quickly. Subconsciously, he took a big step forward and stretched out his hand to pick him up. Zhou Chen only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the whole person jumped out of the original owner's body.

Zhou Chen stared blankly at his transparent hand, then at the original owner who was holding Daiyu.

Question marks filled his mind, what's going on?

After Zhou Zichen caught Daiyu, when Daiyu stood still, he let go of his hand, took a step back, and opened the distance.

"Miss Lin, are you okay?"

Lin Daiyu blushed, she didn't expect that she would see Zhou Zichen in a daze, and almost fell down.

What a shame!

"No, nothing." Lin Daiyu whispered.

Zhou Zichen didn't stare at Lin Daiyu either, but shifted his eyes to other places, rubbed his hands in his sleeves, and seemed to be able to smell a faint fragrance from the tip of his nose.

He couldn't help shaking his head.

"Young Master Zhou, where are you going?"

Zhou Zichen came back to his senses when he heard the sound, feeling ashamed in his heart, he actually hugged Daiyu for a while, and then he had a wrong thought, really...

He calmed down, looked up at Daiyu, "I heard from the boy next to me that there is a peach forest in the back mountain of Lingtai Temple, and the flowers are blooming very well. I plan to go and have a look." After a pause, he subconsciously asked again , "Miss Lin, do you want to go and have a look together?"

After finishing speaking, he wanted to slap himself. Is he too frivolous?

Lin Daiyu's cheeks were blushing, she lowered her head, and gave a little grace, but she agreed.

She was about to go down, but she saw a white and slender hand stretched out in front of her. She looked along and looked at Zhou Zichen's gentle eyebrows, "It rained last night, and the mountain road is slippery. Let me lead you along."

Daiyu's face was hot, and she really wanted to say that she brought a maid who could support her.

But by coincidence, she put her hand on it.

The servant girl beside Zhou Zichen and the maidservant following Daiyu all consciously took a few steps back, their eyebrows lowered.

Only Zhou Chen, who was ejected, was full of dog food, clutching his stomach and stuffy, "I'm full of dog food!"

Watching Zhou Zichen lead Daiyu away, Zhou Chen rubbed his forehead and followed from a distance, calling the system violently in his heart.

'I said, as far as Zhou Zichen's rank is concerned, he is much better than me, a ten thousand year single dog.Are you sure he needs my help?I think big brother, you should send me back, this buddy doesn't need my help at all. '

【You are an outsider who can disturb the secrets of this world. As long as they get married, you can return to your own world. 】

Zhou Chen doubted the authenticity of this sentence.

'With their current posture, who else can separate them?They are interested in each other, and the elders of both sides also attach great importance to this marriage, and have no idea of ​​retiring the engagement at all. Isn't it a matter of time before they get married? '

[Once you, the person who disturbed the heavens, are away, accidents may come at any time. 】

Zhou Chen was speechless.

'But I can't stay in this world and be their nanny all the time, can I?If it is said that there will be an accident when I leave, then after they got married and I left, and they separated because of an accident, is it possible that I will come to help them again? '

[As long as they get married, everything is a foregone conclusion, and no one can make them separate. 】

Zhou Chen blinked.

'I said, are you hiding something from me? '

The system seemed to be dead, and never replied to him again.

Zhou Chen snorted, if you don't answer, won't you be tacitly acquiescing that you have something to hide from me?

The two elementary school chickens over there were in a relationship, and Zhou Chen couldn't get close, so he had to stay far away.

I don't know how long it has passed, Zhou Chen was dazed, and returned to Zhou Zichen's body.

"I heard that you and Yu'er went to Taolin together?"

Gao's voice came from his ear, Zhou Chen came back to his senses, and smiled slightly, "I just met by chance, so we went to Taolin together."

"It seems that my son is very fond of Yu'er." Gao said with a slight smile.

Zhou Chen didn't speak.

That's right, your son is very satisfied with Daiyu. Compared with the last time we had a quick meeting in Linjiayuan, this time is called the real first meeting. He held her hand when we met for the first time. no.

"Madam Lin and I asked Master Mingjing, and Master Mingjing said that on the first day of March next year, everything is suitable, and the wedding date will be set on this day."

Zhou Chen did not comment.

He was looking forward to going home, it would be best for the original owner to marry Daiyu sooner, and he would be free sooner.

Back home, Zhou Chen heard a report from his subordinates, saying that Han Qi, the son of the Marquis of Jinxiang, had sent him a post, inviting him to a restaurant for a drink.

The time is this afternoon.

Zhou Chen asked the exact time, practiced calligraphy at home for a while, and then changed his clothes and went out to attend the appointment.

When he got together with a few old friends, they all met at the old place—Xianweiju.

When they arrived at Xianweiju, the waiter in the restaurant directly led Zhou Chen into the private room, and everyone else was present.

"You're here. I thought you wouldn't be here today." Shi Duan got up and greeted him, "You haven't come out for two days. What's the matter? Do you still want to break up with me?"

"What is breaking off friendship, where did you start?" Zhou Chen said with a smile.

Shi Duan curled his lips, "Is there anyone in the capital who doesn't know that that idiot Jia Baoyu offended you? Then Jia Baoyu was almost beaten to death by his master, and the trouble was so big that even the emperor and the princes knew about it. Said that Jia Baoyu was uneducated, the emperor even ordered the servants in the palace to go to the Rongguo Mansion to spread the word of mouth, asking Jia Zheng to teach his son well, even if his own son can't teach well, it's better not to mislead his children."

"Misunderstanding your son?" Zhou Chen wondered, "He doesn't teach, where did he misunderstand his son?"

Wei Ruolan laughed, "You still don't know about feelings?" He put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said with a smile, "The next provincial examination is coming soon, the emperor intends to appoint Jia Zhengwai as a student, now that something happened, he will naturally leave Crossed off the list."

Not everyone can be an academic and political officer in a province. Jia Zhengneng was put on the list by the emperor, which shows that his talent and learning have been recognized by the emperor.

It's a pity to have a cheating son.

Zhou Chen could imagine how angry Jia Zheng would be.

"Your Majesty is right. My son hasn't been taught well, so why should I study politics?" Zhou Chen said flatly.

Shi Duan hooked Zhou Chen's shoulder and said, "You haven't replied to my posts these days, are you really going to have a quarrel with me?"

"Where is this saying?" Zhou Chen looked at him strangely and asked.

Shi Duan sighed, "Didn't my great-aunt marry into Jia's family? My great-aunt pampered and raised Baoyu. I never liked dealing with people from Jia's family. I..."

"What does the matter of the Jia family have to do with you? You think too much." Zhou Chen said amusedly.

Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't really seem to care, Shi Duan frowned, "Then why didn't you reply to me when I sent you a post these days?"

"I'm also troubled when something like this happens, how can I be in the mood to accept your appointment?" Zhou Chen said angrily.

Shi Duan rolled his eyes, "Han Qi asked you to be in the mood?"

"It has nothing to do with Han Qi." Zhou Chen took a sip of tea and said, "I went to Lingtai Temple with my mother today. The wedding date for me and Miss Lin has been confirmed. It will be the first day of March next year. In a few days, you guys They should all have received the message."

"So fast?" Shi Duan thought for a while, and said, "If I remember correctly, Miss Lin will be born in February next year, right? She just reached her in the first month, and she will be married on the first day of next month?"

Zhou Chen glanced at him, "Do you have an opinion?"

"No, no, no, I don't dare to have an opinion," Shi Duan said awkwardly, then thought of something, hesitated for a while, and sat beside Zhou Chen and said, "Have you heard about the Rongguo mansion?"

Zhou Chen was expressionless, "What's going on in their house?"

Hearing Zhou Chen's tone, he knew that he was very annoyed by the Rongguo Mansion.

If it is not necessary, Shi Duan actually does not want to mention Rongguo Mansion to Zhou Chen at this time, but the news he just heard is too ridiculous. He has to give Zhou Chen a vaccination in advance to save Zhou Chen from moving. He got really angry and wanted to kill Jia Baoyu in anger.

"Isn't that Jia Baoyu? Wasn't he almost beaten to death by my uncle? The imperial physician from the imperial hospital came to treat him for half a night, and only then did he save half of his life, but he was still unconscious. When he was unconscious, he was still alive." Shouting... Sister Lin," Shi Duan paused, looked at Zhou Chen's face, saw Zhou Chen's normal expression, gritted his teeth, and said, "Say he wants to marry Sister Lin."

Zhou Chen got up abruptly, unable to control the anger in his heart, Shi Duan hurriedly pressed Zhou Chen's shoulder, "Zi Chen, Zi Chen, calm down, he is just talking nonsense when he is unconscious, don't take it to heart." go."

Who would believe that Jia Baoyu didn't care about Lin Daiyu if he still said such nonsense when he was in a coma?

It seems that this beating was not wronged at all.

"Where did you hear that?" Zhou Chen asked with a cold face.

Shi Duan was frightened by Zhou Chen's expression, licked his lips, and said, "It's not my cousin, the one named Xiangyun. As soon as she heard that Baoyu was beaten, she went to visit the next day. The maid next to her came back. Speaking of this, I happened to pass by and overheard.”

Zhou Chen's face was gloomy, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "You tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will turn against you?"

"Of course I'm afraid you'll be angry. When I met them, I taught these poor-mouthed servant girls a lesson. The Rongguo Mansion didn't hear about it. Someone probably shut it up." Shi Duan saw that Zhou Chen seemed calm. After a while, he continued, "As long as this matter doesn't get out, it won't matter. As for that Jia Baoyu, who was given an uneducated comment by the emperor, he won't be of much use in the future, so you treat him like a fart. Let it go."

The corner of Zhou Chen's mouth twitched, "Vulgar!"

"Vulgarity is vulgarity. You can't come to ask for an explanation now, can you? If you really want to come again, it will be unreasonable." Shi Duan said helplessly.

After all, this matter has not been publicized, and others will only think that Zhou Chen is making progress after hearing about it.

At that time, maybe the situation will reverse.

Zhou Chen took a breath and rubbed his forehead, "You ruined your good mood."

"It's mine, isn't it? I'll make an apology for you. Come, come, pour wine." Shi Duan hurriedly poured wine to make amends, Zhou Chen rolled his eyes, "You know I'm not good at drinking, why? You want to get me drunk ?"

"I did it, you can do whatever you want, okay?" He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, poured two more glasses and drank it down.

After three glasses of wine, even if Shi Duan had a good capacity for drinking, he was still a little bit over the top.

"Okay, okay, I don't know, I thought you offended me."

Zhou Chen took a sip of his wine while talking, then thought of something, looked at Wei Ruolan, and sure enough, he saw a bit of gloom on his face.

When we met last time, he heard from Shi Duan that Wei Ruolan seemed to have taken a fancy to Shi Xiangyun.

And Shi Xiangyun heard that Jia Baoyu was beaten, so he came to visit the next day. This relationship...is not like ordinary cousins.

Zhou Chen picked up the wine glass and handed it to Wei Ruolan, "Have a drink?"

Wei Ruolan was taken aback, looked up at Zhou Chen, then smiled wryly, "I'm fine."

Said it was all right, but he still drank the glass of wine.

A few old friends got together and got drunk after a while, but this time Zhou Chen didn't drink much, most of the time he drank tea.

He also drank tea in the past, but last time, for some reason, he drank too much.

At the entrance of the restaurant, they parted ways. Zhou Chen was also a little drunk, and returned home in a carriage.

Within a few days, the news that Zhou Chen of the Marquis of Chuanning and the eldest daughter of Lin Ruhai, the servant of the household department, will be married in March next year has been widely spread.

The good deeds Jia Baoyu has done were naturally spread out before, and everyone was wondering whether the Chuanning Hou Mansion would withdraw the engagement because of this, but they did not expect the news that the two families had agreed on a wedding date, and many noble girls in Beijing were very excited. disappointment.

After the two families set a date for their marriage, Lin Zhang also came to Chuanninghou's mansion more diligently.

Compared with being studied by his father, it is much easier and more enjoyable to ask Zhou Chen for advice, and he is more motivated to study.

Today, Lin Zhang came again.

But this time Lin Zhang didn't come to Zhou Chen for advice.

"Brother Zichen, have you heard that the three members of the Xue family who lived in Rongguo Mansion have moved out of Rongguo Mansion today?"

Zhou Chen was practicing calligraphy, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, "That's their family's business, don't worry about it so much."

Seeing Zhou Chen's indifference, Lin Zhang put down the book in his hand, moved closer to Zhou Chen, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zichen, don't you know? The girl from the Xue family originally entered Beijing to run for election, but because her brother got involved In the life lawsuit, her quota was banned."

"How long ago did this happen, why mention it?" Zhou Chen put down his pen and frowned.

Lin Zhang curled his lips and said, "That family lives in Rongguo Mansion, isn't it because they plan to marry their girl to Jia Baoyu?"

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows, "It's not obvious, you know?"

"Brother Zichen also knows?" Hearing that Zhou Chen's words were wrong, Lin Zhang asked.

Zhou Chen laughed, "I live in the capital anyway, how could I not know? The Rongguo Mansion is like a sieve, no matter what the excitement is, I will know the next day."

"Then... Brother Zichen, Jin Yuliang, have you heard of it?" Lin Zhang said.

Zhou Chen also laughed, "Of course I know, Jia Baoyu has a piece of jade, and the Xue family gave that girl a golden lock, saying that the gold lock needs jade to match, what does this jade refer to, do you have to explain it clearly? "

"Then Miss Xue is blind, right? Why did she fall in love with that bastard Jia Baoyu?" Now that Lin Zhang mentioned Jia Baoyu, he was either a bastard or a bastard.

Zhou Chen said flatly, "Since their family moved out of Rongguo Mansion, it seems that Miss Xue is not blind."

The widow of the Xue family, Mrs. Wang, was very keen to form this relationship, otherwise she would not have lived in Rongguo Mansion forever.

The Wang family is obviously not far away. At first, if it was said that Wang Ziteng had gone to work abroad, hasn't Wang Ziteng returned to Beijing in recent years?

After Wang Ziteng returned to Beijing, Xue's family was still living in Rongguo Mansion. Who didn't know what their plan was?

Jia Baoyu's current reputation is actually not bad, but the frightening thing is that in the hearts of the emperor and the prince, Jia Baoyu has left a label of being uneducated and uneducated, which means that Jia Baoyu will not be successful in the future up.

Xue Wang and that Xue Pan may be stupid, but Xue Baochai is definitely not stupid.

How could she still jump into this pit?

Even if you pick a student from a poor family, as long as you are kind and supportive, you may be more promising than Jia Baoyu.

"It doesn't matter whether you are blind or not. I heard that this Xue Baochai plans to participate in this year's election."

Zhou Chen frowned when he heard this, "The Xue family is also a family of officials, Xue Baochai is qualified to participate in the election, but... this is really a bad idea."

There is already a Jia Yuanchun in the palace, and she has already been made a concubine. Xue Baochai and Jia Yuanchun are both Wang Ziteng's nieces. Comparing the two, Jia Yuanchun is naturally more valuable to cultivate, and Xue Baochai cannot get support.

She moved out of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yuanchun who loves Jia Baoyu, can she please her?

No matter how you look at it horizontally or vertically, this is a bad move.

It's just... In her current situation, it seems that she has no other way to go.

As for letting Xue Baochai find a poor family to train him, this option can be ruled out.

The Xue family...can't wait.

"Brother Zichen, what do you mean? Is it bad for Xue Baochai to enter the palace? In her situation, no one would be willing to marry her. After all, entering the palace is a way out, right? Why is it a bad idea?" Lin Zhang was obviously too young and experienced Too little, I can't figure out the twists and turns in it.

Zhou Chen didn't explain much to him either. He rubbed his head and said with a smile, "It has nothing to do with you. In short, no matter what the consequences are, it's the Xue family's girl's own choice." After a pause, "You came today Just to say this?"

"Hehe, I just laughed at Jia Baoyu, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. Now what's in the pot isn't picked up, and what's in the bowl is lost." Lin Zhang is happy whenever he sees Jia Baoyu's bad luck.

Xue Baochai's family was in ruins, but after all, there were still millions of dollars in wealth. If he married Xue Baochai, it was Jia Baoyu who took advantage of it.

But now, this cheap Jia Baoyu is no longer available.
