Chapter 295: Another one
Old man Su received so many words of gratitude that his mind was dizzy.
Boss Su's blood was boiling.
He never imagined that one day he would be able to bring benefits to the entire village.
Of course he knew what his father meant.
Therefore, I am extremely grateful to my little sister.
If his sister had not thought that the job of purchasing gold mines was a good one, he would have refused it long ago.
Sure enough, it’s right to listen to my sister!
Boss Su and Old Man Su came to the same conclusion.
**
County Magistrate Zheng has had a lot of happy events recently.
He felt that it must be because of his good relationship with the Su family that he benefited from Xiao Tangbao.
Just a few days after the eldest son of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion arrived, the eldest son of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, Zhai Ruyu, also arrived.
"I am passing by here and would like to stay at your house for a few days. Is that convenient for you?" Zhai Ruyu said politely.
"That's convenient..." County Magistrate Zheng smiled and nodded repeatedly.
It is a great joy to have the prince of the marquis's mansion come to stay at home.
How could it be inconvenient?
"In that case, thank you very much, Uncle Zheng." Zhai Ruyu said with a gentle smile on her face.
“Hahaha, I hope Prince Zhai doesn’t mind my humble abode being so simple…” County Magistrate Zheng smiled brightly.
Did you hear that? The prince of the Marquisate calls him "Uncle."
I have now gotten into the Marquis' Mansion.
The more County Magistrate Zheng thought about it, the happier he felt.
Therefore, County Magistrate Zheng decided to temporarily let Zhai Ruyu live in another small courtyard that had been originally arranged to invite the fifth son of the Su family to live in.
"Prince Zhai, please come this way."
County Magistrate Zheng personally took Zhai Ruyu to his residence.
However, just after turning a corridor, I saw a slim figure coming towards me not far away.
Zhai Ruyu's eyes lit up.
"Miss Ye."
Zhai Ruyu quickened his pace, walked past County Magistrate Zheng, and headed towards Ye Mingyan.
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
It turns out that Prince Zhai knows his niece.
When Ye Mingyan suddenly saw Zhai Ruyu, his expression changed and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Then, she showed a graceful and brilliant smile.
"Ming Yan has met Prince Zhai."
Ye Mingyan bowed gracefully.
Zhai Ruyu reached out to support Ye Mingyan.
He stretched out his hand halfway, realized something was wrong, and retracted it.
Ye Mingyan looked at Zhai Ruyu and asked gently and generously, "Why did Prince Zhai come to Fengqi County?"
"Of course, it's because there's someone I want to see here..."
When Zhai Ruyu said this, he looked at Ye Mingyan with burning eyes.
A blush slowly appeared on Ye Mingyan's face, and she looked shy and pretty, making her look even more beautiful than a flower.
Zhai Ruyu couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Miss Mingyan..."
There was a strange tenderness in the voice.
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
Why does it feel wrong?
At this time, in the guest house on one side, Zhuo Yishu walked out wearing white clothes, holding a folding fan, looking very elegant and dashing.
"Prince Zhai?"
Zhuo Yishu was surprised, as if he had not expected to meet Zhai Ruyu here.
Zhai Ruyu was also slightly stunned.
"Zhuo Yishu?"
immediately--
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
They both spoke at the same time.
Then, he turned his head involuntarily and glanced at Ye Mingyan.
"I, Zhuo, am passing by here for something and would like to stay at Uncle Zheng's house for a few days." Zhuo Yishu said.
"What a coincidence! I'm also passing by here and staying with Uncle Zheng for a few days."
Zhai Ruyu looked at Zhuo Yishu, the light in her eyes was obscure.
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
Why does it feel even more wrong?
Zhuo Yishu looked at the food box in Ye Mingyan's hand and said happily: "Sister Mingyan, what are you doing..."
"My aunt asked someone to make lotus seed soup and asked me to send it to my uncle." Ye Mingyan said with a smile on his face.
"Is that so..."
There was a hint of obvious disappointment on Zhuo Yishu's face.
Zhai Ruyu's face darkened.
"Mingyan greets my uncle." Ye Mingyan saluted County Magistrate Zheng.
Zhai Ruyu and Zhuo Yishu seemed to have just remembered the owner of this place - County Magistrate Zheng.
"Uncle Zheng." Zhuo Yishu greeted County Magistrate Zheng.
"Prince Zhuo, are you getting used to living here these days?" County Magistrate Zheng said with a smile, "If there are any shortcomings, please bear with me, Prince Zhuo."
"Thank you for your trouble, uncle. I am living well."
The arrogance between Zhuo Yishu's brows dissipated a lot because of Zhai Ruyu's appearance.
County Magistrate Zheng looked at Ye Mingyan.
"Mingyan, go tell your aunt that the prince of the Yongping Marquisate in the capital will be staying here for a few days. Ask your aunt to prepare a fine banquet to welcome Prince Zhai..."
"Ming Yan knows."
Ye Mingyan agreed, bowed goodbye to Zhai Ruyu and Zhuo Yishu, and then walked away gracefully with the food box.
Zhai Ruyu and Zhuo Yishu both looked at Ye Mingyan's back, reluctant to look away for a long time.
"Ahem..." County Magistrate Zheng coughed twice, "Prince Zhai, please come this way..."
"Uncle, please."
Zhai Ruyu still looks like a handsome young man.
After County Magistrate Zheng took Zhai Ruyu to the guest house, he quickly came out and went straight to the backyard to find Mrs. Zheng.
My heart was in turmoil.
"Madam, did your brother originally want Mingyan to marry into the Yongping Marquis's mansion?" County Magistrate Zheng asked, "Did he want her to marry the Crown Prince Zhai Ruyu, or another member of the Marquis's mansion?"
"Master, are you confused?" Madam Zheng said, "The prince of the Yongping Marquis's mansion has already married, and it seems he even has two concubines. My brother originally wanted to marry Mingyan to the third young master of the mansion, or one of his illegitimate children, but..."
But people simply disagreed, as they thought the Ye family was of low status and would be of no help to the Marquis' Mansion.
Although Mrs. Zheng did not say it out loud, County Magistrate Zheng also saw it.
"Then...what about the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion? Has your brother ever thought about marrying into the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion?" County Magistrate Zheng asked again.
He is not stupid. The way the prince of Yongping Marquis's Mansion and the prince of Yong'an Earl's Mansion look at their niece is not right at all.
What's more, those two people inexplicably came to his house to stay.
Originally, he thought that good fortune had come to him, and that he would have connections with these two governments and his network of contacts would become wider and wider.
Now it seems that there may be other reasons.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng frowned, thought about it, and shook her head.
County Magistrate Zheng felt inexplicably relieved.
"That's good……"
As for why this happened, County Magistrate Zheng himself didn't know.
Madam Zheng rolled her eyes at Magistrate Zheng and said, "Mingyan is both talented and beautiful, and is quite famous in the capital. As the saying goes, a beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman. There are many men in the capital who would like to marry Mingyan."
"Even if my brother has such thoughts, it's normal."
"Could it be that our Ming Yan is not worthy of the son of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion?"
Mrs. Zheng thought of her niece's appearance and a hint of pride appeared on her face.
If the Zheng family had not been of lower status, with my niece's beauty and talent, she would have long been married into a wealthy family as his wife.
Even the wife of the prince of a marquisate did it.
