When she said that it was not good, did she mean that Duke Cheng was destroying his bridges after crossing the river?
The atmosphere became somewhat uneasy.
Fang Chengyu followed Miss Jun and nodded repeatedly, with a bad look on his face.
"What are you thinking? Don't be ignorant of good people." Zhu Zan said immediately, "What do you think is good about having the title of the Crown Prince's wife? That's a problem. My father is doing this for your own good. Women are emotional."
"You think too much, man." Miss Jun looked at him and said.
Provocation! Zhu Zan stared.
Miss Jun ignored him and looked at Duke Cheng.
"This is not the right time," she said. "It will not be good for you, Lord."
Duke Cheng smiled.
"You can't judge things by whether they are good or not," he said.
"By doing this, you are giving half or even more of the credit to me, Duke. You should also know that many people nowadays are not willing to see the credit at this time." Miss Jun said.
"Yes, it will be easier to handle things this way." Duke Cheng said with a smile.
Just like being summoned to the capital, he could have chosen not to come, but he calculated that the court was eager to coax him to come, and would agree to any conditions. So in order to divide the Qingshan Army into an army and for the rewards of Xia Yong, Yang Jing and others, he chose to return to the capital.
Now we know that the emperor was annoyed because of Prince Huai's affairs. The emperor is jealous of his merits and reputation among the people, and he hopes that his merits will be reduced and his reputation will be reduced. Therefore, if it is proposed to give Miss Jun merits at this time, the emperor will definitely not refuse, but will give as much as she wants.
"My Lord, this is unnecessary." Miss Jun said, "I want this achievement, but it is not as useful as yours."
Fang Chengyu immediately nodded again, yes, yes.
Zhu Zan said nothing, holding his chopsticks, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What's yours is yours, no matter if it's useful or not." Duke Cheng said, stopping Miss Jun from talking. "I know what you mean. I've considered what you said, but I always think that there's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. You can't guard against them. If you don't do what you want to do because of some concerns, life will be a bit boring."
Miss Jun felt like laughing.
A military general expressed the sentiments of a scholar, but also felt a sense of inexplicable bitterness and envy.
"So, you came back to the capital, Duke, because you wanted to come back and take a look. You went to Prince Huai's Mansion because you wanted to take a look." She said, "So you wanted to clear my name because you wanted everyone to know my merits."
Duke Cheng nodded gently.
"Okay." Miss Jun smiled and nodded, then stood up and saluted. "My Lord, if you dare to let me take it, I will take it."
Fang Chengyu also smiled and nodded again.
Mrs. Yu smiled.
"Is that a deal?" she said.
"It's settled." said Duke Cheng.
Mrs. Yu picked up the wine glass.
"Then drink one," she said.
Except for Zhu Zan, Miss Chengguo, Fang Chengyu, all laughed. Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine and tea in one gulp.
After dinner, Duke Cheng and his wife took a rest and asked Zhu Zan to entertain Fang Chengyu in the mansion.
"Go play by yourself first."
Zhu Zan said to Fang Chengyu.
Fang Chengyu looked at him a little aggrieved, then looked at Miss Jun.
"Okay, brother." He said, lowering his head.
Before Miss Jun could frown and speak, Zhu Zan put his arm around his shoulders.
"No need to act this time." He whispered in her ear, "We're even now. I'm going to make it clear to her."
Fang Chengyu smiled.
"Okay." He looked at Miss Jun with a smile and said, "Jiuling, I'll go take a look first. The scenery of the Duke's Mansion is very nice."
Miss Jun nodded and watched Fang Chengyu walk away with the maid.
"What were you whispering to him about?" she said, "Don't bring bad luck to Chengyu, he is different from you."
Zhu Zan sneered.
"Don't worry, this kid is bad even if you don't bring him with you," he said.
Miss Jun pouted.
"Serious talk," she said.
"You are the one who is talking nonsense." Zhu Zan said.
Miss Jun rolled her eyes, turned around and left, and Zhu Zan hurriedly followed.
"Hey." He said from behind, "I'm surprised you can think this way."
Miss Jun nodded.
"What?" she asked in confusion.
"You should stop at the brink, give up the fruitless relationship, and recognize what you should and shouldn't do." Zhu Zan said, "Don't cling to me anymore."
Miss Jun turned and looked at him.
"Ugh," she said.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more." Zhu Zan said, waving his hands. "It's enough for me to understand it in my heart."
Miss Jun looked at him with both anger and amusement.
"Since you know it in your heart, how are you going to compensate me?" she said with a smile.
Zhu Zan looked at her warily and took a step back.
“I sell my art but not myself,” he said.
Miss Jun held back her laughter.
The guy clearly wanted to thank her for her concern for his father, but he was stubborn and refused to say anything serious.
She glanced around casually and was suddenly startled.
The courtyard wall not far away in her sight was the one she had climbed over before, and the big trees outside the wall were lush and green.
"Do you have a dog hole in your house?" she suddenly asked.
Zhu Zan frowned and looked at her at this inexplicable topic.
"Hey, please don't deliberately humiliate me," he said. "I won't drill into a dog hole again."
Again?
Miss Jun noticed this word.
"So you've been there before?" she asked with a smile.
Zhu Zan looked at the courtyard wall over there, and his originally playful expression became a little gloomy.
"None of your business," he said.
Zhu Zan's words were very interesting. Miss Jun had gotten to know him in the past few days. It seemed that he was talking nonsense all day long and never said a single serious word. However, he was also very strange and would not tell lies. He would rather remain silent and refute than say "no" or "no".
For example, now, he doesn't want people to know that he went through the dog hole, but he doesn't want to deny it, so he said such meaningless words to cover up the truth.
For some reason he didn't want to deny it. It seemed that once he denied it, the thing would no longer exist. Digging a dog hole wasn't a glorious thing, unless it had some special meaning.
Miss Jun looked at the high wall and seemed to see a little girl jumping up from the tree with gritted teeth.
With a thud.
The sound was not loud enough to be heard by the patrolling guards, but it was loud enough to startle a man who jumped up from under the wall.
"There's an assassin!" The man's rooster-like voice was very unpleasant.
The girl almost fell down because of the scream. She didn't have time to see who was ambushing under the wall, and she saw countless guards rushing in from all directions. She was also knocked off the wall. The world was spinning, and she only saw someone at the wall crawling and jumping behind the guards who rushed in. The figure was so blurry that she couldn't see clearly no matter how hard she looked.
"I found the assassin!"
"I caught the assassin!"
There is a rooster's voice shouting in my ears, with an eagerness to take credit.
The sound was quickly drowned out by the guards' scolding, and people gathered around.
"I'm Ling Jiu, I'm Mr. Zhang's apprentice..."
Miss Jun looked at the girl who was knocked off the wall and fell to the ground and screamed, and she also murmured something in her mouth.
Order nine.
She looked at Zhu Zan.
"So you really have been through a dog hole," she said.
