Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 136 [136] Who can compare to Lin Daiyu?

Seeing that Zhou Guiren was teasing in every possible way, the more he said the more indecent, Jia Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down.

I have to say that the nobleman looks really good this week.

Although not as good as Lin Daiyu, Qingwen, Xue Baochai, Second Sister You, and Qin Keqing, these top beauties, they definitely surpassed beauties of the level of Ping'er, Jin Chuan'er, and Si Qi.

Compared with Jia Yuanchun, Zhou Guiren's face is on par with Jia Yuanchun's, but different from Jia Yuanchun's cute and dignified, Zhou Guiren has a touch of seductiveness and frivolity.

No wonder Emperor Chongrui liked her.

After seeing Jia Chen's serious and calm face, Zhou Guiren was secretly amazed.

This kid's determination is really amazing!
Zhou Guiren smiled helplessly:

"Although you are still young, you can make a marriage first and wait three to five years before getting married."

Seeing that nobleman Zhou restrained her charm, Jia Chen felt at ease. If this beauty continued to tease him, as a normal young man, he really didn't know if he would do something beyond the rules.

Jia Chen smiled lightly and said, "What Miss Zhou said is true."

At the same time, Jia Chen thought to himself:

"What does Mr. Zhou mean? Could it be that you want to tell me about a marriage?"

Jia Chen suddenly felt vigilant. In fact, he wanted to marry Lin Daiyu as his wife.

If Zhou Guiren stepped in and had a good time with Emperor Chongrui, it was really possible to arrange for him a girl from the family of the emperor's relatives as his first wife.

In the past, Jia Chen might have been worried.

But now, Jia Chen is not worried at all, because Zhou Guiren is probably one of the masterminds behind the killing of the second prince.

Of course, Zhou Guiren alone would not be able to kill the second prince.

That said, she definitely had accomplices.

And, the energy of this complicity is above her.

Jia Chen felt that this accomplice should be Prince Zhongshun who has always been at odds with the Jia family.

Prince Zhongshun is very powerful, and it is not an easy task to deal with him.

At this time, Zhou Guiren asked: "Do you have a favorite girl?"

Jia Chen didn't want to mention Lin Daiyu, because Zhou Guiren was an enemy, if she found out, it would be bad for Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu was like his own weakness, so Jia Chen would not expose his weakness to the enemy, let the enemy handle it and deal with it Create your own opportunities.

Jia Chen shook his head calmly and said, "Not yet."

Hearing this, Zhou Guiren said with a smile:

"Coincidentally, I have a cousin who is beautiful and dignified by nature. She is talented and educated. She is a hundred times better than me. She is a good match for you."

It turned out that she was waiting for him here!
Jia Chen sneered in his heart.

Just this week, the nobleman tried to use her beauty tricks on her, but she failed, so she wanted to use her cousin to tie her down.

It was really a good plan.

But how can you let the enemy get what you want?

Now, Lin Daiyu, a fairy-like beauty, has a soft spot for her. No matter how beautiful Zhou Guiren's cousin was, she couldn't compare to the fairy Lin Daiyu!
Although I don't want to, I still have to say something on the scene.

Jia Chen politely said:
"I thank you for your kindness. However, this matter needs to be done carefully, and you should not rush it. Please allow me to think about it for a few days before replying."

In fact, the marriage at this time is to be decided by the parents.

But Jia Chen's parents died early, so naturally he didn't need to ask his parents about marriage matters.

Jia Chen had no choice but to prevaricate and perfunctory for a few days.

When I find out that Zhou Guiren is the murderer, I don't need to reply to her marriage.

After hearing Jia Chen's soft but hard answer, Zhou Guiren could only nod:

"That's the reason. Marriage is a lifelong event. It really needs to be carefully considered. Don't worry. When Master Jia has figured it out, you can send someone to tell me at any time."

Seeing this, Jia Chen didn't say much, but continued to tell her about calligraphy.

The matter of interrogation should not be rushed, so as not to arouse Zhou Guiren's vigilance.

But after talking for a while, Jia Chen found that this week the nobleman was sticking to his side, holding him tightly.

This is too close.

The atmosphere is too subtle.

The two arms were close together, and he could clearly smell the fragrance of her body.

It seems that the nobleman is impatient this week, and wants to use a beauty trick on him personally.

Thinking of this, Jia Chen's heart trembled, and he quickly took a small step to the side, widening the distance between the two of them.

Sensing Jia Chen's intentional dodge, the corners of Zhou Guiren's lips raised slightly, as if he didn't notice it, he just dipped his pen in ink and began to write on the table. ,

But her jade arm seems to be sticking to Jia Chen's body intentionally or not.

Jia Chen glanced at her suspiciously, seeing her unawareness, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

The nobleman is also too courageous this week.

If at this time, someone suddenly pushed the door open and came across this scene, I'm afraid that he and her will be executed and questioned.

Although he had doubts in his heart, Jia Chen continued to explain the calligraphy skills to Zhou Guiren in order to break through Zhou Guiren's defense.

Of course, nobleman Zhou probably wasn't listening carefully.

Now, Zhou Guiren's attention is on how to seduce Jia Chen.

After Jia Chen eloquently explained, Zhou Guiren deeply agreed and was full of praise.

Zhou Guiren was eager for skills for a while, and expressed that he wanted to try it himself.

Jia Chen spread out a piece of snow wave paper, dipped the brush in ink, and handed it to her.

Just as she was writing, Jia Chen suddenly asked, "Does Lady Zhou know Prince Zhongshun?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Guiren suddenly stopped the pen in his hand, and his face changed slightly.

Seeing this situation, Jia Chen sneered in his heart, it seems that the nobleman of Zhou really colluded with Prince Zhongshun and conspired to kill the second prince.

Seeing Zhou Guiren's panicked expression, Jia Chen continued:

"I heard that Zhou Guiren's father used to be Prince Zhongshun's personal entourage, is there such a thing?"

Zhou Guiren hesitated for a moment, and had to tell the truth, this kind of identity and background cannot be concealed, because too many people know, she can't kill all the insiders, can she?

"It is true, but my father is now the Minister of Rites, and he is no longer working beside Prince Zhongshun."

Jia Chen naturally knew what she said. Before coming here, Jia Chen had made an investigation in advance and found out that Guiren Zhou's father was actually Prince Zhongshun's confidant.

In other words, Zhou Guiren's father, like Qiu Chen, became an important court official through the relationship of Prince Zhongshun.

At this time, Zhou Guiren just wanted to get rid of the relationship between his father and Prince Zhongshun.

This is obviously a guilty conscience.

Jia Chen continued to follow the persuasion:
"Then I dare to ask, is Your Honor Zhou Shilang still in touch with Prince Zhongshun?"

This may sound like a casual question, but it is actually very difficult to answer.

Zhou Guiren was caught in a dilemma.

If the answer is that there is no relationship, then it is simply fooling the ghosts. Who in the Manchu Dynasty did not know that her father was supported by Prince Zhongshun?

But if the answer is yes, then it is impossible to separate the relationship with Prince Zhongshun.

If Jia Chen followed this relationship, he might find out the truth about the second prince's murder!
Zhou Guiren frowned, feeling uneasy in his heart, anxiously thinking about how to respond?
