Chapter 135: Treasures Like Pearls and Jades
There were footsteps behind her. Just as Chen Yu opened the door, a big hand pressed on it and closed it with a snap.
Shen Yu pulled again, but was still pushed back by Xie Tingzhou.
"Turn around." Xie Tingzhou said.
Chen Yu turned a deaf ear to him, thinking that they were just hugging and kissing each other just now, and he started scolding her the next moment, which made her feel unhappy.
Xie Tingzhou sighed, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Why are you so generous?"
Chen Yu felt that she should have a good argument with him, so she turned around. Xie Tingzhou leaned back and was almost hit on the nose by her.
Chen Yu looked at him angrily and said, "If you think I'm your guard, then you can scold me as you like."
Xie Tingzhou seemed to understand what she was unhappy about, and asked in a low voice: "So what do you think I should think of you as to me?"
Chen Yu opened her mouth to speak, but felt too embarrassed to do so, and stared at him resentfully without blinking.
Seeing that she was holding back, Xie Tingzhou was afraid of upsetting her, so he pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "I treat you like a precious pearl and jade, and I protect you so much that I'm afraid you'll get bumped or bruised, but you don't care at all, and you take risks with yourself, always stabbing me in the heart."
He lowered his body slightly to accommodate her height.
Chen Yu's chin was on his shoulder, and she didn't know how to react.
He was the one who got angry and now he is the one who feels wronged?
Xie Tingzhou stroked her hair and said softly, "Ayu, this is the first time in my life that I feel emotional. I don't know how to deal with it. If you think it's not good, you can teach me."
Chen Yu softened, and after pondering his previous and subsequent sentences, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
She looked up and said, "This is the first time in my life, how can I teach you?"
That incident in her previous life was so traumatic that she dreamed of digging out those memories and didn't want to think about them again.
Xie Tingzhou's laughter rang in my ears, "What should I do then?"
"Well...why don't I go find someone to learn from first and then come back to teach you?" Chen Yu deliberately angered him.
"You dare!" Xie Tingzhou said, then felt that his tone was too strong, and suddenly said: "You deliberately poked
My sweetheart, forget it. I can’t escape from your grasp anyway, so I can only let you bully me like this.”
Chen Yu laughed, "Stop pretending to be pitiful, let me go first."
Xie Tingzhou loosened his grip a little, but didn't let her go completely. "I have to hold her for a while longer. Cang is in the yard today. You have my scent on you so it won't hurt anyone."
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Chen Yu said, "Then the guards in your courtyard, as well as Xifeng and Changliu, are they all the result of your holding on to Liu?"
Xie Tingzhou was stunned for a moment, then he laughed into her neck, his shoulders shrugged with laughter, "I don't have a homosexual tendency, can you not expose it and save some face for me? It's not easy to find a reason to hug you."
Shen Yu also smiled with her lips curved, pinched her hands, and tentatively put her arms around his back, "Well, then you can only hug for a while, I have something important to tell you."
When the bathroom cools down, it starts to get damp.
The two returned to the bedroom, and Xie Tingzhou asked someone to serve food. He came back late and had no time to have dinner.
Chen Yu had eaten quite a lot in the evening, so she took her chopsticks and tasted some of the side dishes.
"Jiang Lianzhi said that the Ministry of Revenue has both real and fake account books, and the fake account books are probably not in his hands. I remembered that Ge Liangji once said that he left a life-saving talisman for his child. That life-saving talisman should be the account book."
Xie Tingzhou picked up the vegetables and said, "It should be. They hold the lifeblood of many people in their hands, so they won't touch them easily."
Chen Yu said, "Ge Liangji has seven children in total, born to his wife and three concubines. I have checked and found that the female members have been made prostitutes in the Jiaofangsi. The rest are in the Ministry of Justice, waiting to be exiled in March."
"I just don't know who has the account book. I guess this was planned by Ge Liangji long ago."
She frowned, "They won't take out a life-saving amulet like this easily. We have to think of a way."
"Don't be in a hurry." Xie Tingzhou picked a piece of bamboo shoots and put it into her bowl.
The bamboo shoots in this season are tender and fragrant. Xie Tingzhou has seen her use her chopsticks several times.
"Official prostitutes are easier to deal with. I'll go to the Jiaofangsi and touch them someday."
The bamboo shoots on Chen Yu's chopsticks fell off, and she raised her eyelids, "Who do you want to touch in the Jiaofangsi?"
Xie Tingzhou said helplessly: "Feel the truth.
”
Shen Yu simply put down her chopsticks, "You are different now than before."
Xie Tingzhou asked with a smile: "Why is it different?"
Chen Yu pursed her lips, "That is... you can't go in and out of brothels as you did before. You must keep yourself clean. You can't go to places like the Jiaofangsi even if you have nothing to do."
Xie Tingzhou curved his eyebrows in the candlelight and said, "Okay."
His straightforwardness made Shen Yu feel a little embarrassed. She turned sideways and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person. If it's official business, then naturally..."
"Ayu." Xie Tingzhou interrupted her and held her hand across the table. "Do you have any other requests?"
Shen Yu was stunned for a while, and then said, "No."
"I have one." Xie Tingzhou said gently.
"What?"
"Move in."
Chen Yu's face flushed, and she was a little flustered.
This is too fast. The two of them just broke the window paper yesterday, and today she is asked to move in.
She has been in the world for many years and is not as shy and polite as the young ladies in the boudoir, but she can't be this fast.
Xie Tingzhou knew from her expression that she had probably misunderstood, so he explained, "Qingpuju has a big enough yard with more than a dozen rooms. You can pick any one you like."
"I'll think about it." Chen Yu said with a red face.
…
Chen Yu hasn't moved out of Lumingxuan yet.
It was because Zhongbo took this matter very seriously and originally thought that she would live in the same house with the prince, but unexpectedly they were living separately. Zhongbo had no choice but to ask people to renovate several other vacant rooms, and selected a lot of furniture and decorations, and prepared to have it done in the next few days so that the future prince's wife could move in.
Spring rain is as precious as oil. It has rained several times in succession in the past few days, and preparations for spring plowing have to be started in all places.
In the morning, Xie Tingzhou went to the duty room for the first time. When he came back, he called Chen Yu into the room.
"The suppression of the bandits has been finalized, and the decree should be issued in the next two days."
"Who should be sent?" Shen Yu asked.
Xie Tingzhou said: "Wen Lesheng, the nephew of Minister of War Wen Hongyuan."
