The expression on the third prince's face gradually became subtle, and his brows frowned.
Brother Jiu said not to let him think too much about it, but listening to Brother Jiu's tone, although he said that he admired the girl too much, but his tone... was not just admiration, it was clearly above appreciation.
He also said that the girl treated him like a brother...
It seems that there is an inexplicable connection between the two, the kind that no one else can get involved with.
It's getting weirder the more I think about it.
The third prince looked up at Rong Ting.
Seeing the deep smile in his eyes, he felt as if he had gotten into some serious trouble.
Can this stop him from thinking too much
The third prince said: "My mother and concubine just mentioned something, asking me if I want to see you, not necessarily..."
Rong Ting was considerate, and said slowly: "The schoolwork is heavy, and the third brother is devoted to his studies, and he is dedicated to his studies, so there is no time to see him."
"Whether it's today or tomorrow, third brother will always concentrate on his studies, am I right?"
The corners of Rong Ting's eyes drooped slightly, and he squinted and smiled, but before the third prince could speak, he said first: "The third brother is really good at learning and diligent, which is admirable."
It was as if the third prince didn't say "yes", that sentence was admirable, and he no longer took it seriously.
The third prince subconsciously only heard Rong Ting's praise, and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, but he also agreed in his heart, so he nodded slightly.
But it took him a moment to realize—
What he just promised will always concentrate on his studies...
Doesn't this mean that Miss Jiang Si will also agree to go along with her
The third prince is twenty-one years old now, he already has a concubine and a daughter, so he is not in a hurry to get married.
He was just curious about Jiang Rao's appearance.
Both Jiang Siye and Jiang Qin's family were famous for their good looks in Jinling back then, handsome men and beautiful women, one in a million.
The Jiang family often produces beauties, and Miss Jiang Si's appearance can't be mistaken.
Men are greedy for sex, and it is normal to have such curiosity.
It's just that this bit of curiosity is not as good as his maintenance of his own reputation.
"Study is of course the most important thing. Only by calming your mind can you make knowledge." He finished.
Raising his secretive gaze, he glanced at Rong Ting.
For some reason, seeing Rong Ting's face makes him feel kind and harmless, but when he thinks carefully, there is always something vaguely wrong.
The corners of Rong Ting's eyes curved deeper.
He tilted his head slightly, with a smile on his thin lips, "Third Brother always keeps his word, doesn't he?"
Third Prince: "..."
How does this make him refute? How can anyone directly say that what they say doesn't count.
Can only say: "Yes."
While silently moving away from Rong Ting.
After Ben wanted to get closer to him, he inquired about what he had said to his father a few days ago, which made his father happy.
Now there is only one thought left in his mind: he may not be able to play with this younger brother who is several years younger than him.
Talking to Rong Ting and looking at his face is really like a spring breeze, but it's his words that always make him think more involuntarily.
"Let's hurry back to the palace." He said in a cold sweat.
After speaking, hurry up and walk towards the palace gate.
"Third brother." Rong Ting called him.
The sun in the evening is not hot enough, but the sun is still bright. As summer approaches, the days become longer.
Rong Ting's slightly smiling face was immersed in the twilight light, and his fingers were lightly clenched under his sleeves.
"Third Brother, do you still remember the doll marriage that Concubine Shu almost arranged for you when you were young?"
"Baby dear? No such thing?"
The third prince frowned deeply, and looked at the older eunuch beside him, "Do you remember?"
The eunuch said: "This servant has been with the Third Highness since his birth. I have never heard of anyone who has made a marriage agreement with the Third Highness."
"Did the ninth brother hear something?" The third prince asked strangely.
Rong Ting's brows visibly stretched.
His smile seemed to let go of something, the hostility disappeared completely, and the smile on his lips became much gentler, "I remember wrongly."
…
ginger mansion.
The old man frowned coldly when he heard about the investigation of Liu's shop.
Even though he didn't fly into a rage, there was already deep displeasure in his eyes.
Within a few days of Mrs. Liu's marriage, he noticed the petty problem of being greedy for money.
He had reminded his eldest son before, to be optimistic about his daughter-in-law, and not to make her lose the big by small things.
As for his daily food and clothing, as well as the monthly rewards, he did not miss Liu's. He just wanted to teach her to be more generous and decent.
Unexpectedly, she got into trouble for a little profit.
The servant said: "Mrs. Liu said she wanted to find out who was impeached. Master..."
The old uncle patted the case again, "She made a mistake and was impeached. She still has the face to find out who was impeached? Don't expect me to help her find out about it."
The old man's gaze sank, looking a little heartless.
If one wanted to maintain the reputation of Uncle Ning'an Mansion, one person had to be sacrificed to take full responsibility for it.
This is the only way to satisfy Emperor Zhaowu, deal with the matter of being impeached, and protect the reputation of Ning Anbo Mansion.
Since it was Liu's fault, then...the one who bears the full responsibility for the crime is her.
Even if the old uncle knew that his son was at fault, whether it was out of selfishness or to protect the reputation of the entire Ning'an Manor, he would only punish the Liu family and take his son out of it.
I just don't know if Liu Shi can know his painstaking efforts.
If he didn't have this kind of awareness, he really didn't want this eldest daughter-in-law to be the wife of the future head of Ning An Bo's residence.
The old uncle said coldly: "Don't wait for the punishment to come down, first hand over the rice in Liu's shop to the state treasury, and the shop will be closed for the time being. When Liu comes back, let her and the boss come to my house together." in the room."
In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanent source replacement App as soon as possible, huanyuanapp.org
The more the old man thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became, and he couldn't help but compare it in his heart.
He turned his head and asked the servant next to him, "What has fourth been busy with lately?"
"Si Ye's shop has been taken back, and today he is opening a granary to help the victims."
The old uncle frowned slightly, "He has a clear mind."
It just so happened that the two matters of the eldest and fourth bedrooms collided today, which made the old man even more dissatisfied with the Liu family.
It also made him even more annoyed at his youngest son's failure to live up to expectations.
He frowned and snorted, "It's useless to have a clear mind."
Leisurely and undisciplined, not doing business.
At the beginning, he made soft and hard moves, and used all the methods he could think of. The youngest son really didn't have any intention of inheriting his family business, and only wanted to help his elder brother.
If it wasn't like this, he wouldn't say that he would hand over the management of the house to the big house.
If the elder son hadn't been helped by the younger son, he really wasn't at ease.
Blame him for neglecting the two brothers after their mother died of illness, causing the feelings between the two brothers to overwhelm the feelings with him.
Compared with his father, the younger son obviously listened to his elder brother more.
He is also willing to fold his wings and be his elder brother's right-hand man.
The old uncle sighed, tapped his forehead, and suddenly thought of a way, "Mrs. Liu made a mistake, and punished her to go to the temple to fast for a month, and come back after a month. For this month, let the fourth family take care of it." Zhongfu in the house, please inform Sifang and their family in advance."
He had to find a way to let his youngest son take care of things.
He can't come back to Jinling and let him act like he doesn't have this son.
…
Fourth Master Jiang didn't know what the old uncle had arranged for him for the time being.
He was in the study, anxiously waiting for the servant sent to the Qinhuai River to report back to him about the situation of the grain store by the Qinhuai River.
The shop opened, and he sent several servants to come back every hour to tell him about the situation at the grain shop.
Although he was the one who arranged this for Jiang Rao, he was the one who worried the most.
I thought that on the first day of opening, he secretly arranged for a few people to pretend to be grain and rice buyers, so as to add some business to her.
In case the store can't sell anything all day long, it will make my daughter feel uncomfortable.
But since Jiang Rao wanted to open a storehouse for disaster relief, he also let her go, but the few people who had been arranged earlier could go later.
A few hours passed, and he was relieved to hear that there was no disturbance at the shop and it was very orderly.
He also heard from the people who came back that Jiang Rao opened a warehouse in his name to provide disaster relief, and he felt a little warm in his heart.
Or the daughter cared about his reputation.
On the one hand, he felt that his girl was the best daughter in the world, on the other hand, looking at the portraits piled up on the table, his critical eyes became more intense.
Jiang Siye has been looking at the portraits of the sons in Jinling who are about the same age as his daughter for the past few days
He wanted to pick someone he was satisfied with, and then asked his daughter's opinion, and asked her if she wanted to see her.
Choose a few more, lest the daughter is not satisfied with any of them.
But today, after reading dozens of photos, none of them are satisfactory.
It doesn't matter who you look at.
Fourth Master Jiang sat down again, continued to hold a few portraits and looked at them, and listened to the young man beside him telling him about the background, character, etc. of these young masters, shaking his head non-stop.
Not satisfied, not satisfied, not satisfied at all.
It looks like a flowery intestines, no way.
Those who look ugly, seem to be both ugly and gaudy, even worse.
Fourth Master Jiang was a prodigal son when he was young, and because of this, he was more concerned about who was not good enough.
The young man beside him was already reading dryly.
After watching for so many days, no matter how good a young talent is, in the eyes of the master, he is no different from a low-level local hooligan.
With this posture, she will not be able to choose until the end of time. The young lady is afraid that she will be alone for the rest of her life.
However, Fourth Master Jiang suddenly stood up when he found a portrait.
The servant next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought the master had finally found a satisfied uncle for the girl.
result-
Fourth Master Jiang frowned deeply, looked down at the painting, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
There was a bit of anger in his eyes again, and he asked, "Who mixed in the portrait of the Ninth Prince?"
Jiang Siye remembered that what he asked someone to find was the portrait of the son of the aristocratic family.
Don't even think about those royal relatives.
But how could it be possible for Rong Ting's portrait to appear among the portraits of the princes of the aristocratic family
