Chapter 212 Understanding

When the three of them arrived at the flower hall, Jiang's father and mother had not arrived yet.

Jiang Ning asked the servants and learned that dinner would not be served for a while, so he asked the maid to bring the chessboard and took the opportunity to play chess with Yu Zheng.

Compared with Yu Zheng, Jiang Ning's chess skills were of course not up to par. It was also because of this that he wanted to learn from Yu Zheng.

What Yu Zheng taught him was something he could not learn from the teachers in the academy, and Jiang Ning listened very seriously.

Jiang Shu was still worried that Yu Zheng was still drunk, but after seeing him play half a game with Jiang Ning, every move was clear and every sentence was clear, she secretly sighed.

Although Yu Zheng's alcohol tolerance was not good, his self-control was very strong and he sobered up very quickly.

In just one afternoon, he was completely sober.

"Brother-in-law, are you born this amazing?" The more they met, the more Jiang Ning admired Yu Zheng.

The teacher always praised him for his intelligence, but compared with Yu Zheng, his intelligence was nothing.

Yu Zheng said, "No matter how talented you are, you still need to be diligent."

"I learned to read at the age of two, recited poems at the age of three, and was formally taught by Master Zhou at the age of five." "Rites,

music, archery, and mathematics, ordinary students only need to have a basic understanding, but Master Zhou is very strict with me and requires me to be proficient in everything."

"In addition to these, I also need to practice martial arts to protect myself. I started learning court affairs and analyzing the situation in the world at the age of ten."

Hearing Yu Zheng talk about his childhood study experience, Jiang Ning and Jiang Shu were dumbfounded, thinking it was hard and difficult.

Jiang Shu didn't know, but he had seen Yu Zheng's martial arts. It wasn't just self-protection, it was clearly a martial arts that was so powerful that few rivals could match him. Then there

was calligraphy and painting. Yu Zheng's calligraphy and painting were both comparable to those of masters and were impeccable.

I don't know how much effort and hardship he had put in behind these few words that came out of his mouth.

Just thinking about it, the brother and sister admired him.

"Hey, you guys are playing chess behind my back." Father Jiang stepped into the flower room, his eyes fixed on the chessboard.

Assuming that it was almost time for dinner, Jiang Ning stood up and said, "Dad, you play."

There were only a dozen pieces on the chessboard, and the game had just begun when Jiang's father picked up the chess piece and said, "Let's play again."

Yu Zheng glanced at the darkening sky outside the house, and then glanced at Jiang Ning's suppressed smirk. He said nothing and cooperated silently.

"Shu'er." Jiang's mother sat down next to Jiang Shu and spoke to her in a low voice.

After a cup of tea, the maid Yu Guan entered the hall and served the dishes on the table.

When Jiang's father saw it, he frowned and said, "Why are we eating so soon? We're only halfway through the game."

Jiang Ning suppressed a smile and said, "It's getting dark. Let's finish the meal quickly. My brother-in-law and sister are still rushing back to the palace."

Jiang's father was full of anger, and he watched the maid take away the chess equipment with his eyes wide open.

Jiang Ning was in a very good mood and thought that the food tonight tasted especially delicious.

When Jiang's father saw his expression, he realized what was going on and immediately kicked Jiang Ning and said, "You did it on purpose, you little brat."

"What do you mean on purpose? Dad, what are you talking about?" Jiang Ning played dumb.

"Hmph!" Jiang's father glared at him angrily and ate his food without saying a word.

Jiang's mother poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Jiang's father, whispering, "You are so old, and you are still angry with the child, making the prince laugh." Jiang's father

looked at Yu Zheng and saw that Yu Zheng was peeling shrimps for Jiang Shu, and he seemed to be ignoring him, so he was relieved.

"Brother-in-law, you eat the food, I'll peel it." Jiang Ning took the plate and took the initiative to take on the job of peeling shrimps.

Based on what Yu Zheng taught him, it was reasonable for him to peel as many shrimps as he could.

Jiang Shu had a bad appetite, so he lost interest in the spicy shrimps he used to love. After eating a few, he didn't want to eat anymore.

So almost all the shrimps that Jiang Ning peeled went into Yu Zheng's stomach.

The palace had everything, so Yu Zheng wouldn't be greedy for the shrimps. However, this was Jiang Ning's gift, so if Jiang Shu couldn't eat any more, he had to do it for him. Sure

enough, seeing Yu Zheng finish all the shrimps, Jiang Ning smiled happily.

After dinner, it was already dark, so Jiang's father and mother didn't want to keep them any longer, and asked Jiang Ning to take Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu away.

The night was chilly, but the wine shops on both sides of the street were still bustling, and pedestrians were constantly coming and going on the street, all with happy smiles on their faces.

"Spring Festival couplets for sale, the scholar wrote them himself, don't miss it if you pass by..."

Hearing the shouting full of the flavor of the New Year, Jiang Shu couldn't help but lift the car curtain and look at the street stalls.

With a casual glance, Jiang Shu actually saw an acquaintance.

Lin Rui was sitting at the stall table, writing Spring Festival couplets with a pen, and Lin's father was standing beside him shouting and selling.

No wonder the voice sounded a little familiar, Jiang Shu put aside her smile and lowered the car curtain.

Seeing that her expression was not right, Yu Zheng asked: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Shu said in a low mood: "Nothing, I saw someone I didn't want to see."

"Stop the car." Yu Zheng ordered in a serious voice.

Jiang Shu looked at Yu Zheng suddenly, wondering what he was going to do.

Yu Zheng walked to Jiang Shu's side, lifted the car curtain and looked back.

Among the people coming and going, Yu Zheng saw Lin Rui.

It turned out to be him!

"Husband?" Jiang Shu called softly.

Yu Zheng knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Zhu Feng asked respectfully: "What are your orders, Master?"

Yu Zheng pointed to the Spring Festival couplets stall at the back and said in a deep voice: "Deal with the man who wrote the Spring Festival couplets. I don't want to see him in Shangjing."

Zhu Feng glanced back, recognized the person, and jumped out of the car.

The door closed and the carriage started again.

Jiang Shu asked tentatively: "Husband, are you going to kill him?"

Although Lin Rui was not a good person, he failed to harm her after all, and also cooperated with her to kill Jiang Yun.

Therefore, Jiang Shu felt that although Lin Rui was hateful, he did not deserve the death penalty. Especially since the New Year was approaching and she was pregnant, it was unlucky to kill someone.

"Am I that cruel?" Yu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

Although he hated Lin Rui, he also knew the laws of Dazhao. As a prince, he should set an example. How could he disregard the law because of personal grudges

? "What do you mean, my husband?" Jiang Shu was puzzled.

Yu Zheng sighed: "Just let Zhufeng drive him out of the capital, not take his life."

Jiang Shu heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that, and was very satisfied with Yu Zheng's way of handling it.

She didn't want to see Lin Rui again.

The carriage drove through the bustling long street, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet after turning a corner, and the hustle and bustle behind them gradually disappeared.

It was really cold. After getting off the carriage and walking back to the main courtyard from the mansion gate, both of them were infected with cold.

Chu Yu and Shuang Hua had already prepared everything. As soon as the two entered the house, they served them to bathe.

After soaking in the hot water, Jiang Shu felt comfortable and warm.

They slept for a long time in the afternoon, and it was not too late now, so neither of them felt sleepy.

Yu Zheng took a book and wanted to show it to Jiang Shu, but Jiang Shu suddenly said, "I want to hear my husband play the qin." Yu

Zheng cleared his throat and said, "I'm not good at the qin."

Jiang Shu asked in surprise, "Didn't my husband say that he was good at all six arts?"

Yu Zheng bent his lips and said, "I learned the xiao."

Jiang Shu suddenly realized and said, "Then I want to hear my husband play the xiao."

It's a pity that they have been married for nearly two months and have done many intimate things, but she still doesn't know Yu Zheng well enough. Fortunately,

there is a long way to go, and they have a lifetime to get to know each other.
