Chapter 692 True Friends

Ning Zhixiang finally paid attention to Rongchuan's face at this time. His attention was on his third uncle. He didn't pay much attention to the third place winner in front of him. He was stunned when he saw him. He looked 40% like his father, but his third uncle shouldn't be so proud of this face.

Therefore, Ning Zhixiang frowned, thinking it was not simple, "Third Uncle."

Lord Ning waved his hand, "It's not good to stand at the door of the teahouse. Let's go in."

Zhulan was surprised to find that she had finally entered. She could feel many people looking at her, which was not a good feeling. If it was just ordinary looks, it would be fine, but these looks of scrutiny and exploration made her feel like she was being skinned, which was terrible.

Rongchuan nodded and turned away without stopping.

Xue Han breathed a sigh of relief. This was truly a day full of coincidences. Seeing Rong Chuan looking at her, Xue Han shook her head slightly to indicate that she was fine.

Ning Xu saw it and touched his chin. What a good relationship. He had a very high opinion of Miss Zhou. Zhou Shuren came from a farming family, and Miss Zhou's temperament was so rare.

Ning Xi was thinking about Zhou Shuren's wife as she walked. She really didn't look like someone from a peasant family.

Zhulan no longer had the idea of ​​continuing what she had just done. She was really afraid of meeting someone again. The probability of coincidence was too high, so high that she discovered that the capital city was really small!

At the teahouse, Ning Xu entered the private room with a frown on his face. He didn't expect his niece-in-law to be there too. He didn't like her. In the entire Ning Mansion, because Zhixiang was in poor health, his second brother and his wife were particularly tolerant of Zhixiang's family.

Moreover, my second nephew's wife gave birth to a healthy son, so this nephew's wife felt more confident. Coupled with my second sister-in-law's tolerance over the years, this nephew's mind has not only become more profound, but also has more thoughts.

This time he came back to life and got the title of Marquis. He has a lot of ideas. Don't be fooled by his smiling face, his eyes can't lie.

Ning Zhixiang was embarrassed, he did not expect his wife to come over. He knew clearly what his wife was thinking, especially after knowing that his third uncle could not have children. Did he have any thoughts about it? Of course he did. The Ning Mansion was inherited by his eldest brother. Even if his eldest brother was not as smart as him, the entire Ning Mansion still belonged to his eldest brother.

He was physically unable to perform imperial examinations or martial arts, but he had the title of Young Master of Ning Mansion, and he coveted his third uncle's title of Marquis.

At Zhou's house, Zhulan and her group returned home. Mrs. Dong was surprised, "Mother, why did you come back so soon?"

Zhu Lan said quietly, "I felt that it was not convenient to go out during my stay in the capital, so I came back early."

Mrs. Dong didn't understand and looked at her sister-in-law, but unfortunately her sister-in-law didn't explain either.

Zhulan asked, "I saw the servant at the door brought in a lot of flowers. Do you want to replace the flowers in the garden?"

Mrs. Dong nodded. "Mother, didn't you say that the flowers in the garden are too monotonous? So I bought some new flowers. Mother, do you like them?"

She bought all the flowers according to the ones from Jinzhou Garden!

Zhulan looked at them one by one and they all looked familiar, "You are so thoughtful."

Mrs. Dong, "This is what a daughter-in-law should do, mother, you take a rest first."

Zhulan was not physically tired, but she felt mentally tired. She really didn't want to go out.

Xue Han said, "Mom, I'm going back to the yard too."

Zhulan, "Okay."

Rongchuan immediately followed Xuehan. When Zhulan saw him, she missed Zhou Shuren and turned her head away. She also had someone who loved her, so there was no need to be jealous!

Xue Han and Rong Chuan walked back. Xue Han turned back and asked, "Your yard is not in the same direction as mine. Why are you following me?"

Rong Chuan took a step forward and walked with Xue Han, "I heard a good story in the teahouse and wanted to tell it to you."

Xue Han looked at the pavilion in the garden and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Rong Chuan motioned for the servant to fetch the mat, "Okay."

Liuli also said with great tact, "Miss, I'll go get some."

It was not long after breakfast that Xue Han could not eat snacks. Rong Chuan probably couldn't eat after drinking a lot of tea. "Give me some nuts, forget about snacks."

Liuli responded, "Yes."

Chang Lian stood on the other side of the garden, watching his sister and Rongchuan walking towards the pavilion from afar. After thinking it over, he decided not to go over. He also went to look for his wife.

In the afternoon, at the Jinzhou government office, Zhou Shuren asked Jianyan to go to the academy to get Mingteng's grades. "It has dropped quite sharply."

Jianyan thought to himself, this is more than amazing, the teacher almost pulled him aside and hoped that he would come back to say a few more words, of course, all to complain.

Zhou Shuren asked, "What did the gentleman say?"

Jianyan replied, "The teacher said that Master Mingteng has not listened to the lessons seriously in class several times, and has not completed his homework seriously as before. He also said that Master Mingteng has a good foundation and should be watched more carefully."

Zhou Shuren knew that the words of the slanderer were embellished. Ming Teng was not an outstanding student, but he was also above average. This time he was not even ranked in the middle. "Ming Teng will definitely get a beating today."

Jianyan wanted to laugh in his heart. When Master Mingteng saw him coming to the academy, he kept saying good things to him. His desire to survive was particularly strong. "The master said a lot of promises."

Zhou Shuren took the report card and said, "I'm going to post it on Ming Teng's door."

In other words, "......."

This lady can be seen every day, so Master Mingteng must have been beaten many times. However, Master Mingteng is particularly tough and has thick muscles!

Zhou Shuren calculated the time and said, "It's time for me to meet with Lord Ran. Let's go."

In other words, ".......Yes."

In the academy, Ming Teng was squatting with his neck hunched, looking extremely depressed.

Mingrui kicked his second brother's foot and said, "That's enough. You've been squatting for a long time."

Ming Teng, "You don't understand."

Mingrui rolled his eyes, "Second brother, you are used to being beaten anyway, just stand up and it will pass."

Ming Teng glared, "I'm afraid of Grandpa!"

Mingrui, "Brother, you're on your own. I can only sympathize with you."

The Third Master Ran came over and asked, "What are you doing hiding here?"

Ming Teng looked at his friend in a speechless state. The friend didn't know anything yet. He stood up, his legs were numb, and he stood up with the help of a tree. "Let me ask you, no matter what happens, we are still good friends, right?"

Young Master Ran San looked at his friend's face, which was a little tense, and his legs were shaking. How long had he been squatting? He still gave a positive answer, "Yes."

Ming Teng took a deep breath. The numbness in his legs was really unpleasant. "Remember what you said today, brother. See you tomorrow."

When the Third Master Ran saw Mingrui looking at him with sympathy, he asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Ming Teng shook his head, "No, no, you think too much."

The Third Master Ran, "......."

He didn't feel panicked when he ranked last in the exam, because his mother and grandmother were supporting him anyway. But now he feels a little panicked!

Ming Teng dragged Ming Rui away, still a little unsure, "Will Ran Xun pay attention to me tomorrow?"

Ming Rui said: "Ran Xun still cares about you, you two are real friends now."

In the evening, at the Zhou residence in the capital, there was a sumptuous dinner. Zhulan said, "Tomorrow is your first day in office. I will have a drink today and wish you all the best in the future."
