Chapter 868: Retribution in This Life
Zheng Yuanzheng had a sad face and was extremely regretful.
Why did he say he had grown up? Why did he want to show off that he was a scholar? Why...
No matter how many times you ask why, there is one thing that remains unchanged, that is -
If you meet the Third Prince, nothing good will happen!
When Xuanyuan Jin saw Zheng Yuanzheng like this, he suddenly felt refreshed.
Su Laosan looked at Zheng Yuanzheng sympathetically, patted his shoulder, and said, "Your Highness is right. Brother Zheng, please don't write to Tang Bao anymore. Although you have a childhood friendship, you are all grown up now. You should avoid suspicion..."
Xuanyuan Jin stood by and nodded repeatedly when he heard this.
"Third Prince, please don't buy anything for Tang Bao. I sent it back specially." Su Lao San looked at Xuanyuan Jin, "I know you have always treated Tang Bao as your own sister, but as you said, people's words are scary, and three people can make a tiger..."
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
My head can't click anymore.
Wang Zhong stood nearby and looked at his young master with sympathy.
Oh! Did you shoot yourself in the foot?
When Zheng Yuanzheng saw it, his wounded heart was immediately healed.
I really want to say one thing - retribution in this life.
But I didn’t dare.
"Yes! Tang Bao is not your biological sister. Your Highness, please be more careful in the future and stay away from Tang Bao. Don't bring trouble to Tang Bao's reputation!" Zheng Yuanzheng puffed out his chest, and the frustration he had just felt released.
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at Zheng Yuanzheng.
"It's none of your business to interfere in what's going on between Tang Bao and me!" Xuanyuan Jin said coldly.
"Okay! It's not my turn to interrupt, but Third Brother should be allowed to interrupt, right?" Zheng Yuanzheng didn't get angry, and said calmly, "Third Brother did tell you not to send gifts to Sister Fuya anymore."
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
I really want to punch Zheng Yuanzheng's smug face.
I have to say, the more satisfying it was just now, the more aggrieved I feel now.
Wang Zhong couldn't bear to see the young master being humiliated, so he said with a smile, "Master Zheng, you're wrong. Although the Third Prince and Princess Fude are not siblings, they have been close since childhood..."
Wang Zhong said this, looked at Su Lao San, and said, "I'm going to say something that Master Su San may not like to hear. I'm afraid that in the princess's heart, you, her biological brother, are not as close to her as the Third Prince. Similarly, when it comes to the princess's heart, even you, her biological brother, are not as close as the Third Prince..."
Therefore, as your dear brother, you have no right to interfere!
Su Laosan was speechless.
I couldn't help but think of the time when Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin were together.
He wanted to refute Wang Zhong's words, but he couldn't straighten his back.
Because if he asked himself honestly, it seemed that he, his biological brother, really couldn't compare to Xuanyuan Jin...
Xuanyuan Jin gave Wang Zhong a look of approval.
Then, he looked at Zheng Yuanzheng, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Did you hear that?"
Zheng Yuanzheng: “…”
You bully me!
Su Laosan sighed.
Forget it, never mind.
Who made me lack confidence?
Su Laosan looked at Xuanyuan Jin and Zheng Yuanzheng.
"Are we still going to...see the house?" asked Su Lao San.
"go!"
"go!"
The two said in unison.
Su Lao San: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched.
So, several people got on their own carriages.
The house that Zheng Yuanzheng mentioned was indeed not far from the Imperial Examination Hall.
The house has two courtyards, with side rooms and porches on both sides, and is neither too big nor too small.
When a few people arrived, an old servant from Zheng Yuanzheng's aunt's house was waiting at the door after receiving the news.
"This old servant greets my cousin, young master." As soon as the old servant saw Zheng Yuanzheng, he hurried forward to pay his respects.
"No need to be so polite, just show us the house." Zheng Yuanzheng waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Master Zheng, gentlemen, please follow me."
After the old servant finished speaking, he led a few people into the courtyard.
"Master Zheng, the main house in the front yard is rented to Mr. Liu and his family, the east wing is rented to Mr. Wang, and the west wing is rented to..."
The old servant introduced as he walked.
The entire house was rented out to five families.
There are scholars who study hard after failing the imperial examination, and there are also minor officials who are on duty nearby.
"Master Zheng, I'm not boasting, but this house is the best in the area," the old servant said. "If it weren't for Master Zheng asking, my master would never have been willing to sell it. He originally planned to bring a few gifted children from his hometown in Xuzhou over to study in a few years. Living here would be convenient for him to consult the teacher..."
I have to say, the old servant was right.
Even if you don't ask those great scholars for advice, most of the people living around here are scholars, so it's good to make friends with some potential people.
Zheng Yuanzheng listened and said with a smile, "I know that my uncle is doing this for my sake. I will go to pay my respects to him and my aunt another day."
After Zheng Yuanzheng finished speaking, he looked at Su Laosan.
"How is it, third brother?" Zheng Yuanzheng asked.
Su Laosan was indeed a little tempted.
The yard was very clean, and the sound of reading could be heard from the house from time to time.
The surrounding environment is quite quiet, so it is very suitable to buy it as a temporary residence for candidates.
However, as Zheng Yuanzheng said, his sister cannot live here.
How can my sister, a girl, live in such a small house with a group of grown men?
Although this house is divided into a front yard and a back yard, there are more than 20 candidates coming to take the exam this time, and the front yard is simply not enough for them to live in, so someone must live in the back yard.
In this case, my sister absolutely cannot live here!
If my younger sister doesn't live here, then the fifth child can't live here either...
As for those candidates...
Su Lao San frowned and thought, and felt that if it really didn't work out, they could only live separately...
"Brother Zheng, how much is this house for?" Su Lao San said decisively, "When will the deed be signed?"
I mean, I want it!
If you come across a house like this, you must buy it.
Even if I owe you a favor.
Xuanyuan Jin's brows were tightly furrowed as he stepped into the courtyard.
"This place won't work!" Xuanyuan Jin said, "It's too small!"
Su Lao San said helplessly: "Your Highness, I know it's too small, but it's so hard to buy a house around here."
Maybe someone is selling it, but before the news is released, it is bought by someone with connections.
Su Laosan had to admit that if he had not met Zheng Yuanzheng, he would not have been able to buy such a house.
Xuanyuan Jin pointed to the next door.
"It looks big enough." Xuanyuan Jin said.
He discovered when he came just now that there was a big house next door.
The vermilion gate is very grand.
There are two stone lions at the door.
The house of Zheng Yuanzheng's aunt is just a small corner of her family.
As soon as Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, everyone looked towards the next room.
White walls and green tiles, lush trees, faintly visible pavilions, towers, rockery and bridges...
******
ps: Ye Zi thinks that this house belongs to our Tang Baobei, what about you?
Friends who like Wenwen, don’t forget to watch the short video, hehe...
