Chapter 283 Just Dating
Zhou Jinghan was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting Yun Yi to agree so readily. After all... in his impression, women would be somewhat shy when talking about men.
But Yunyi showed no shyness whatsoever; her tone was as if she were... discussing business.
This left him somewhat amused and exasperated, but he quickly agreed after a moment's thought.
He would be a fool to give up this opportunity.
Yunyi nodded and got up to leave.
"Yiyi." Zhou Jinghan stood up and blocked Yunyi's way.
"what happened?"
“Um…” Zhou Jinghan hesitated, unsure of how to begin.
"Just say what you have to say. You're acting like a little girl..."
"Since you said we can give it a try, does that mean we're engaged?"
Yunyi frowned. "They're just dating, how did they become engaged?"
"It's just verbal."
"I guess so," Yunyi nodded.
"Then...can I hold your hand?"
Yunyi's lips twitched. This person was so innocent that she felt embarrassed. She then reached out and hugged him: "We can hold hands and hug in the future. After all, I don't mind you."
Zhou Jinghan froze, his ears and neck turning red. However, he reacted quickly and hugged Yun Yi back. Yes, his wife was all-powerful, but she was also fragrant and soft. He really didn't want to let go.
"Alright, isn't this over yet?" Yunyi pushed him away and rolled her eyes at him.
Zhou Jinghan scratched his head, but he was very happy.
Zhou Jingyu's identity was dangerous, so he made up a story for the villagers. Moreover, Yunyi made some changes to his appearance, so that even people who knew him would at most think that he looked a bit like the former crown prince.
As for the name, let's call him Tuesday.
Although Zhou is the national surname, it is not a rare surname. It is a common surname in the country. There is a Zhoujia Village in Liyu Town, and there is a Zhoujiazhuang in the next town. Besides, nowadays many people use their birth order as their name, so it will not arouse suspicion.
“Tuesday, Tianyin said you injured your leg while saving him. Tianyin is from our Xiajiazhuang. You are his savior, so you are also the benefactor of our Xiajiazhuang.” The village chief spoke very sincerely. “As long as you don’t mind, you can stay in the village. From now on, we will all be family.”
Zhou Jingyu nodded slightly: "Thank you, Uncle Village Chief." After a pause, he added, "I've also been to school, and I can teach the children in the future. I won't just eat for free."
“This…” The village chief looked at Yunyi.
“No problem, I don’t support freeloaders here anyway.” Yunyi nodded. “Although he has difficulty moving around, he can speak, so he won’t get tired of teaching.”
The village chief smiled and nodded, "In that case..." He couldn't help but look at Xiao Tai'an, "Mr. Xiao is the principal, so let's arrange it for him."
Xiao Tai'an nodded: "Tell me what you're good at later, and I'll arrange lessons for you."
Zhou Jingyu nodded: "Thank you."
For the next few days, Yunyi didn't plan to go out. After all, it was almost Chinese New Year, and the New Year celebrations in the countryside were very lively, especially for the children. Everyone's lives had improved a lot this year, so they started preparing for the New Year and making new clothes. As a result, the whole Xiajiazhuang was bustling with activity.
During this time, Yunyi received a New Year's gift from Du Ziming, who delivered it through Zhou Jinghan's people.
After Du Renyi died, Madam Nie was heartbroken. After helping with the funeral arrangements, she fell ill. Her son, Du Zimo, used this as an excuse to take his mother back to her hometown, Zhengcheng.
In fact, the Du family did not want her to leave, after all, the Zheng family was wealthy, but Du Renyi's death was too undignified, so they did not dare to force her and could only nod in agreement.
As for the Du family's assets, they were directly left to Du Renyi's eldest son by a concubine, Du Ziling, to take care of.
"This kid is quite generous." Yunyi smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the three truckloads of gifts that had arrived from Zhengcheng.
“After all, you helped him so much.” Zhou Jinghan was quite happy. “However, these things are just the surface. The most valuable thing should be this.” He pointed to one of the inconspicuous wooden boxes.
Yunyi took it and opened it. It turned out to be a pair of luminous pearls. Judging by their appearance, the diameter should be more than ten centimeters. It was quite difficult for her to hold them with one hand.
Even though it's daytime now, it emits a soft glow; at night, it could probably be used as a lantern.
“If this were in the capital, it would be worth ten thousand gold coins. Even the imperial palace doesn’t have one this big.” Zhou Jinghan’s tone was a little sour.
"Hmm? You're jealous?"
"I'm not jealous." Zhou Jinghan shook his head, his face flushed. "I just feel a little uncomfortable. After all... I like you, but I can't give you what you like, so..."
"Stop." Yunyi quickly raised her hand to signal him. "Do you have to be so sensitive? The situation is different. You can give it to me later, isn't that the same? Besides, we are trying to get along now, so what I give is the same as what you give. I will be happy if someone gives it to you later, after all, we are the ones who benefit."
"You mean, you'd be happy if a woman gave me money?" Zhou Jinghan's voice rose slightly.
“Yes,” Yunyi nodded. “Real money is innocent.”
sixteen:……
Even the system couldn't stand it anymore; this was definitely the kind of talk a scumbag woman would spout.
Zhou Jinghan told himself that this woman hadn't fallen for him yet, so he couldn't get angry. After taking two deep breaths, he finally calmed down and said, "You're right, money is no crime. Then I'll... make more money in the future."
"Good boy." Yunyi reached out to pat his head, but realized the height difference when she raised her arm, so she changed direction and patted his shoulder instead. "Let's go, it's time for dinner."
"Oh, right, there's another piece of news. Chen Bonian will replace Du Renyi. The appointment order will probably be delivered after the New Year."
"Huh?" Yunyi was taken aback. "Was this the work of your third brother?"
“It should be. They’re all from the same family, so naturally they want their own people to control this place.” Zhou Jinghan nodded. “After all, Longxi Prefecture is a crucial border defense area. Controlling this place means controlling the entire Northwest. If anything happens, this will be a good escape route.” He paused for a moment. “If nothing unexpected happens, after the New Year, there will be another piece of news: the adult princes will be granted the title of king.”
"To be granted the title of king?" Yun Yi frowned. "Does that mean we also need to select a concubine and grant her a fiefdom?"
“Yes.” Zhou Jinghan nodded.
"And what about the Crown Prince? Who will succeed your second brother?"
