Chapter 1559 Luck

Zhu Lan thought for a moment and said, "The Zhang family has just arrived in Beijing and does not have a deep foundation. Concubine Zhang is only the Seventh Prince's adoptive mother, and the Seventh Prince's biological mother is still alive. The Zhang family is indeed weak. Your Ning family is the Empress Dowager's maternal family. Although Ning Ming is separated from the Marquis's Mansion, he is also the Empress Dowager's nephew and grandson. He is indeed a good marriage partner."

Ning Ming is still very valuable in the eyes of some aristocratic families.

Song was very unhappy when she heard this, "The Ning family will not have any marriage relationship with the harem forces."

The reason why her son got engaged so early was to avoid being plotted against.

Zhulan, "The Zhang family has asked someone to pass on a message to Lord Ning. It's really urgent. They just arrived in Beijing."

There was some sarcasm in Song's tone, "The Zhang family is too impatient. They held a grand banquet right after arriving in Beijing. Since Concubine Zhang was just promoted, they basically gave her face as a formality. But the Zhang family is so proud of themselves. Ha, do they think they can arrange a marriage just because they want one?"

Zhulan gestured for her to drink some tea to calm down. Ning Zhiqi's wife was very angry, so she came to complain to her. The elders of the Ning family were basically gone. Zhulan felt that Rongchuan and the Song family had been getting along well over the years, so this man would come to see her from time to time and chat about gossip. Today they talked about Ning Ming.

Song's anger subsided a little, "Ningming was indeed divided, but not everyone can calculate that."

"Ning Ming knows what's going on. Besides, it's the mourning period again. The Zhang family only dares to pass on the message secretly. Don't be angry."

Song was indeed no longer angry, "Ah, I am also worried about Ning Ming's marriage."

Speaking of this, Song felt a little embarrassed, because both the Zhou Ning family knew what her brother's wife was thinking.

Zhu Lan was not embarrassed, "Ning Ming will meet someone who can help him."

At least Yu Wen is not like that. Yu Wen's ideal since she was a child has been to be rich and wealthy. Her idea has not changed over the years, which shows how determined she is.

Zhulan knows her granddaughter too well. Yuwen will not give up enjoying life for love, so it is difficult for Yuwen to like someone. If it weren't for the fact that Yuwen herself does not get married and it has an impact on Yujiao, Yuwen's ideal life would be to live on her own, with money and power, and servants serving her. How wonderful it would be to live her own life.

A few days later, Changzhong was waiting for the Fourth Prince in the mansion. In the main courtyard, Changzhong was eating dried shrimps that had been sun-dried. "Mom, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are so good."

Zhulan reached out her hand and silently pulled the plate in front of her, "This is a gift from your sister-in-law."

"Mom, I only ate three."

"Three is a lot."

Mrs. Li is too busy and rarely cooks. She rarely cooks and made some dried shrimps. Shuren ate a lot of them last night, so there are not many left.

Changzhong still wanted to eat, "Ah, it's getting harder and harder to eat the food cooked by my sister-in-law."

"Your sister-in-law is a mother-in-law, and she has to take care of a large family. She is too busy."

Changzhong glanced at it again, and after confirming that his mother would not give it to him, he wiped his hands and said, "The Fourth Prince said he would take me to the Treasure House. I will give you some money."

"You just emptied your father's purse last night, isn't that enough?"

Chang Zhong glared, "My father said he would keep it a secret."

"Your father will keep it a secret from the outside world, but we have no secrets as husband and wife."

Chang Zhong had a wooden face. He was used to it. His parents had a good relationship. "Mom, you really don't give me money."

"No, I don't have any money."

When the Fourth Prince came, Chang Zhong didn't get any money either, so he followed the Fourth Prince out of the house in a somewhat depressed mood. The Fourth Prince was also in a bad mood, so Chang Zhong was puzzled, "The Fourth Prince is unhappy?"

The fourth prince spread his hands and said, "I went to see my elder brother, the crown prince, before leaving the palace."

"Um?"

"He didn't give me a penny, and he even said I had to give him half of the money I got from the Treasure House!"

Masatada, "......"

The image of the prince in his mind had somewhat collapsed.

In the palace, Zhou Shuren looked tired. The prince asked for ginseng tea. "Lord Zhou, you have been working hard recently."

"I can take a day off tomorrow and have a good sleep."

Zhou Shuren envied his granddaughter Yuwen from the bottom of his heart, and he also wanted to be lazy all year round!

He hates two seasons the most, spring and winter, as these are the busiest seasons for the department. He also doesn't like summer because there are too many unexpected events. His favorite season is autumn.

The emperor saw Zhou Shuren drink the ginseng tea that was handed to him, "Now that you've finished your recent work, you can relax a little."

Zhou Shuren put down his teacup and said, "Oh, it would be nice if we could have more days off."

Prince, "......"

The emperor smiled and said, "After I ascended the throne, I added two more days of rest."

Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart. He added one day each time, and after adding it twice, there were only two extra days of rest in a year. The emperor was stingy with the positions of his concubines, and he was also stingy with the holidays for his officials.

The Emperor would never agree to add more days off. The last few years have been eventful, and it is impossible to have more days off.

The prince spoke up, "I heard that Mingrui is going to take the exam for the scholar degree."

Zhou Shuren's face turned serious, his tone full of worry, "Yes, it's just that the weather is too cold. This year, it's unusually cold not only in the north, but also in the south. The temperature in February is not expected to be high. I'm worried whether the candidates' bodies can withstand the cold."

The emperor really didn't pay attention to these things. There were too many things to do in the court, and he didn't think about changing the date. "This spring is very cold."

The prince said, "Yes, the snow stayed for a long time before melting."

The emperor thought of the snow in the south and frowned, "Then let's change the date so that the candidates' exams will not be affected."

Zhou Shuren felt a little dumbfounded. How could he say it? He really didn't expect to change the date so smoothly. All the words he wanted to say were kept in his stomach.

The Fourth Prince was excited as soon as he entered the Treasure House. "This is my favorite place to come. I tell you, my luck is very good. Follow me and you will win."

Why is Changzhong so unconvinced? But he rarely comes here because it costs too much money and there are too many people and it is very noisy, so he will not come here easily.

The fourth prince was familiar with the process. He first made a blind bet and called out to Changzhong, "You also choose one. This is very fun. The only bad thing is that only one of the ten things is real. But it doesn't cost much money, so it's fun to play."

Changzhong silently looked at the rule of ten taels per bundle. It wouldn't cost that much money, right?

Changzhong did not bet the same as the Fourth Prince, so he just waited for the prize to be announced.

There are not only men in the Treasure House, there are also many women. Some come here to broaden their horizons, and some just come here to have fun. I guess they all like it.

The fourth prince said, "It's about to start. I'll show you my luck later."

Changzhong didn't take the reward seriously. He came out today just to accompany the Fourth Prince.

Soon, the ten boxes on the table were opened one by one. The Fourth Prince bet on five, and Changzhong chose seven. There were some porcelain bowls in the first four boxes, but when it came to the fifth one, the Fourth Prince was extremely nervous.

Then the Fourth Prince was slapped in the face. Inside was just an ordinary folk kiln porcelain bowl, which could be found everywhere on the streets outside.

The Fourth Prince's face froze. Being young to begin with, he felt embarrassed in front of his younger friends. For a moment, the atmosphere in the box was a little low.

Soon it was box number seven, and the Fourth Prince stared at it intently.
