The expression on the third prince's face gradually became subtle, and his brows furrowed.

The ninth brother said that he should not think too much, but listen to the tone of the ninth brother. Although it is a bit too much to say that he admires other girls, but this tone...is not just admiration, it is obviously just admiration.

He added, that girl treats him like a brother...

It seems that there is only an inexplicable connection between the two, the kind that no one else can interfere.

It's getting weirder the more think about it.

The third prince raised his head and glanced at Rong Ting.

Seeing the deep smile in his eyes, he felt as if he had gotten into some serious trouble.

Does this make him think too much?

The third prince said: "My mother-in-law just mentioned one thing, asking if I want to see you, not necessarily..."

Rong Ting was kind and understanding, and said slowly: "The academy has heavy workloads, the third brother is virtuous and devoted to his studies, and he has no time to see him."

"Regardless of today's past or future, the 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, "The third brother is really good at learning and diligent in learning, which is admirable."

As if the third prince did not say "yes", that admirable sentence would no longer be taken seriously.

The third prince subconsciously only heard Rong Ting's praise, and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, but he agreed in his heart, so he nodded slightly.

But it took him a while to think

He just promised that he will always concentrate on his studies...

Didn't this agree to not see the Fourth Miss Jiang?

The third prince is now twenty-one years old. He already has a concubine and a daughter, so he is in no hurry to get married.

He was just curious about Jiang Rao's appearance.

Jiang Siye and Jiang Qin were both famous in Jinling for their good looks, handsome men and women, and they were one in a hundred.

The Jiang family often produces beautiful women, and it is impossible to miss the appearance of the fourth girl Jiang Jiang.

Men are all greedy for color, and it is normal to have such curiosity.

It's just that this curiosity is nothing compared to his maintenance of his own reputation.

"Reading is of course the most important thing. Only by calming down can you learn to learn." He finished.

He raised his secretive eyes and glanced at Rong Ting.

For some reason, seeing Rong Ting's face makes him feel that he is kind and harmless, but after thinking about it carefully, there is always something vaguely wrong.

The corners of Rong Ting's eyes turned deeper.

He tilted his head slightly, with a smile on his thin lips, "Third brother always counts, doesn't he?"

Third Prince: "..."

How can he refute? No one will directly say that their words do not count.

All I can say is, "Yes."

On the other hand, he stayed away from Rong Ting silently.

After Benhuan wanted to have a closer relationship with him, he inquired about what he had said to his father emperor a few days ago, which made his father emperor Longxin very happy.

At this moment, only one thought remained in his mind: he might not be able to play with his younger brother who was several years younger.

Talking to Rong Ting, looking at his face, it is indeed like a spring breeze, but it is his words that always make him think more involuntarily.

"Let's hurry back to the palace." He said with a cold sweat.

After speaking, hurry up and head towards the palace gate.

"Third brother." Rong Ting called him.

The sun in the evening was not hot enough, but the sun was still very bright. As summer approached, the days became longer.

Rong Ting's slightly smiling face was immersed in the twilight light, and his clenched fingers were tucked under his sleeves.

"Can the third brother remember the baby marriage that Concubine Shu almost decided for you when you were a child?"

"Baby baby? Isn't that the case?"

The third prince frowned deeply and looked at the older eunuch beside him, "Do you remember?"

The eunuch said, "The slave has been with the third prince since the time when the third prince was born. I have never heard of anyone who had a marriage with the third prince."

"Could it be that the ninth brother heard something?" The third prince asked strangely.

Rong Ting's brows obviously stretched.

His smile seemed to let something down, the hostility disappeared completely, and the smile on his lips became much gentler, "I remembered it wrong."

...

Ginger House.

When the old man heard that Liu's shop was investigated, his brows furrowed coldly.

Even though he wasn't furious, there was already a deep displeasure in his eyes.

Just a few days after Liu's marriage, his greed for money was noticed by him.

He reminded his eldest son just a while ago that he should be optimistic about his daughter-in-law, and he must not make her lose her greatness because of her smallness.

And in his daily food and clothing, in exchange for monthly money, Liu's is not missing, he just wants to teach her to be more generous and decent.

Unexpectedly, she changed it for a little profit and made trouble.

The servant said: "Mrs. Liu said that she wanted to find out who the impeached person was, sir..."

The old man slapped the table heavily, "She made a mistake and was impeached. She has the face to find out who the impeached person is? Don't think I will help her find out about this."

The old man's eyes sank, looking a little ruthless.

If you want to maintain the reputation of Ning Anbo Mansion, you have to sacrifice one person and take full responsibility for this matter.

This was the only way to satisfy Emperor Zhaowu, to deal with the impeachment, and to protect the reputation of Ning An Bo's house.

Since it was Liu's fault, then... the person who is fully responsible for the crime is her.

Even if the old man knew that his son was at fault, whether it was out of selfishness or to maintain the reputation of the entire Ning Anbo Mansion, 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.

Without this realization, he really didn't want this eldest daughter-in-law to be the wife of the future head of Ning An's house.

The old man said in a cold voice, "Don't wait for the punishment, first hand over the rice grains in Liu's shop to the state treasury, and the shop will be closed for the time being. After Liu's return, let her and the boss come to me together. In the room."

The more the old man thought about it, the more dissatisfied he felt, and he couldn't help but compare.

He turned his head and asked the servant next to him, "What has the fourth child been busy with recently?"

"The fourth master's shop has been taken back, and today the granary is being opened to provide relief to the victims."

The old man's brows stretched slightly, "He has a clear mind."

It just so happened that two incidents in the four rooms of the big house collided today, which made the old man more and more dissatisfied with the Liu family.

It was even more annoyed by the unsatisfactory behavior of the younger son.

He frowned and snorted, "It's useless to have a clear mind."

Leisurely and undisturbed, not doing business.

Back then, he used all the tricks he could think of in soft tricks and hard tricks. This young son really had no intention of inheriting his family business at all, and was only willing to help his elder brother.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't say that he would distribute the affairs of the head of the family to the big room.

If the eldest son hadn't been helped by the younger son, he would be really uneasy.

Blame him for neglecting the two brothers after their mother died of illness, which caused the relationship between the two brothers to overwhelm the relationship with him.

Compared with his father, the younger son obviously listened to his elder brother more.

He is also willing to break his wings and be his elder brother's right-hand man.

The old uncle sighed, tapped his forehead, and suddenly thought of a way, "Liu Shi made a mistake, and punished her to go to the temple for a month, and then come back a month later, this month, let the fourth family take care of her. The central feeder in the house, let us know about Sifang’s family in advance.”

He had to figure out a way to let his little son take care of things.

It is impossible for him to come back to Jinling, in exchange for him as if he did not have this son.

...

For the time being, Jiang Siye didn't know what the old uncle had arranged for him.

In the study, he was anxiously waiting for the servant sent to the Qinhuai River to report back to him about the situation of the grain shop by the Qinhuai River.

The shop opened, and he dispatched several servants, who came back every hour to tell him about the situation at the grain shop.

Although he arranged this for Jiang Rao, he was the one who worried the most.

Originally thinking that when it opened on the first day, he secretly arranged for a few people to pretend to be buying grain and rice to add some business to her.

So that the store can't sell anything all day, it will make my daughter feel uncomfortable.

But since Jiang Rao wanted to open a warehouse for disaster relief, he also let her go, but the few people who had been arranged earlier could go later.

A few hours later, he was relieved to hear that there was no turmoil at the shop, and it was very orderly.

The person who came back said that Jiang Rao opened a warehouse in his name for disaster relief, and he felt a little warm in his heart.

Instead, his daughter cares 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 stacked on the table, his critical eyes became even stronger.

Jiang Siye has been looking at the portraits of the young masters in Jinling who are about the same age as his daughter. He wants to choose the one he is satisfied with, and then ask his daughter's opinion and ask her if she wants to see him.

Choose a few more, lest your daughter be dissatisfied with any of them.

But to this day, after reading dozens of pictures, none of them are satisfactory.

No matter who you look at, it doesn't feel good enough.

Jiang Siye sat down again, and continued to hold a few portraits to look at, listening to the young servant beside him telling him about the background, character, etc. of these young masters, shaking his head constantly.

Dissatisfied, in exchange for dissatisfaction, all dissatisfied.

It looks good and looks like a flowery intestines, no.

Ugly-looking, like both ugly and flowery intestines, even worse.

Fourth Master Jiang was a prodigal son when he was young, and it was because of this that he was more concerned about who was not.

The little servant on the side was already thirsty.

After watching it for so many days, no matter how good young talents are, in the eyes of the master, they are no different from the hooligans who are not in the mainstream.

With this stance, you will not be able to choose until the end of the world, and the young lady is afraid that she will be lonely for the rest of her life.

When Fourth Master Jiang turned to a portrait, he suddenly stood up.

The servant next to him finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that the master finally found a satisfactory uncle for the girl.

result

Fourth Master Jiang frowned deeply and looked down at the painting, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

There was a hint of anger in his eyes, and he asked, "Who mixed the portrait of the ninth prince?"

Fourth Master Jiang remembered that he had asked someone to find a portrait of the son of an aristocratic family.

Those royal relatives, don't even think about it.

But how could there be a portrait of Rong Ting among these portraits of the sons of noble families?
