Chapter 732: Not Buying
The prince naturally got the news, "I heard it."
Rongchuan didn't believe it, and then he thought it was Lord Ning who said it. Lord Ning knew his whereabouts very well. He was not surprised, and then he was stunned. He had been robbed of the house several times before, and he had always suspected that it was the Ning family who did it. This time the prince knew about it, so the house was in suspense again?
The prince stopped and asked, "Why don't you move on?"
Rong Chuan was only thinking about his uncle's visit to Beijing yesterday. He bought a house earlier and started decorating it. He really neglected Ning Mansion. It seems that Ning Mansion doesn't want him to buy a house. "Ah, I just thought that I should not buy this house for now."
Prince, "......."
He has bought them all! Even though all the money that the Queen Mother saved was given to him, he spent a lot!
Rong Chuan silently took a small step back. Although there was no change in the expression on the prince's face, he could feel that the prince was in a bad mood. Seeing that the prince was not paying attention, he silently took another small step back.
The prince noticed it and didn't want to talk to his brother at the moment, so he turned around and left first.
Rongchuan was a little confused. What was the prince's reaction? He didn't say anything wrong!
In the Zheng Palace, the Emperor saw the Crown Prince come in first and thought he would see his youngest son later, but he didn't. "Where is he?"
He heard that the two brothers met at the palace gate!
The prince was still depressed, "Ah, he is walking slowly behind me!"
The emperor knows the prince very well. The prince is depressed. He can't help but laugh, "Did he offend you?"
The prince took a deep breath and saw that only Eunuch Liu was in the main hall. "Rongchuan suddenly decided not to buy a house. My son's money was wasted."
The emperor found this novel. It had been a long time since he felt his eldest son was wronged. He coughed and held back his laughter. "I'll pay for it this time. Don't be depressed."
The prince froze for a moment. Father, you didn't laugh, but your tone was very happy. However, he would not go against money. "Thank you, Father. Please make it even for me."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, OK, I'll give you five thousand taels."
The prince was dumbfounded. He meant ten thousand taels, and he was given five thousand taels. He was at a loss. Father, you can't give him a small amount. And you even gave him eight hundred taels in one breath!
The emperor laughed. It was rare to see his eldest son showing so many expressions today. "I won't tease you anymore. Ten thousand taels."
The prince's heart was filled with money, anyway, "Thank you, father."
In Jinzhou, Tao came into the courtyard and saw Yang sitting on a chair drinking tea. "I just saw the luggage convoy leaving the gate. You packed it very neatly."
Zhulan signaled the maid to bring a chair over, and after Tao sat down, she said, "What was transported away was sealed long ago."
Tao took the teacup and said, "This is Xue Han's dowry."
"Well, there is a happy event in your house, why are you here today?"
Tao signaled the maid behind her to put the box on the table, opened it and said, "We are good friends. You have become a lady, and I have not personally congratulated you. Today I have come specially to give you a gift."
Zhulan looked at the calligraphy and painting in the box, "What is this?"
Tao said, "I see you like painting. We have a collection of calligraphy and paintings. I heard you say you like Master Xu's paintings, so I looked through our collection. Although they are not authentic, forgeries are rare. I hope you don't mind."
Zhulan liked it very much. She had been looking for a fake for a long time but couldn't find one. "Thank you. I like it very much."
"As long as you like it."
Zhulan carefully took the painting and said, "Since you came to congratulate me, I should congratulate you as well."
Tao said enviously, "When my imperial edict comes down, it won't be too late for you to congratulate me."
Yang's edict came down so quickly that she was envious the whole night after hearing it, and she talked about it to her husband a lot. To be honest, it was Lord Zhou who was capable, so Yang's edict and decree could be issued at the same time.
Zhulan suddenly understood why Tao was not at home and came to find her. Her imperial edict had come down, and Tao still had to be invited by Lord Wang. Tao did not want to be compared, so she hid.
In Zheng Palace, Rongchuan was still flipping through the book in his hand in a daze. The prince's attitude towards him made him feel uneasy. He clearly left him behind and left first, which made him uneasy for a long time. And now!
The prince held up a fruit plate and said, "Take a few of the fruits that were just delivered to you and try them."
Rongchuan, ".......I thank the Crown Prince for his reward."
The prince picked up the biggest one and put it in the younger brother's hand. Well, father is watching, he has to love his younger brother. Moreover, he made a fortune today because of Rongchuan, and he can bully his younger brother at the same time. He is in a good mood!
Rongchuan felt panicked, the change in his expression was too drastic!
The Emperor didn't bother with the Crown Prince. He knew Rong Chuan was nervous, but he thought it was interesting. He could go back and share it with Qing Ran in the evening. What a wonderful brotherhood! It's so different between blood relatives!
He could still feel that the prince really liked his younger brother!
In the afternoon, Rongchuan came out of the palace, holding bamboo baskets in both hands. One bamboo basket was full of fruits, and the other bamboo basket was full of crabs.
Outside the palace gate, the driver of the Hanlin Academy was stunned, "Sir, what are you doing?"
Did you really go to the palace? Why are you taking things out? One bamboo basket is not enough, so you took two?
Rongchuan looked up at the sky. The bright sunlight made his head hurt. He was not dreaming!
Ning Xu, "Rongchuan?"
Rong Chuan came back to his senses, "Master Hou."
Then it was awkward because he had things in both hands.
Ning Xu was also stunned. Rongchuan entering the palace was like going home. The emperor was really his father. He didn't forget his son even when he saw the fresh fruits and crabs in the palace. Well, he also knew why the emperor summoned him to the palace. The time was so accurate. "Leave these to me. It's not good for you to take them back to the Hanlin Academy."
Rong Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. He also knew that it would be bad to bring her back, as it would make people jealous. "Thank you, Lord."
Lord Ning personally took the bamboo basket, put it in the carriage, and then personally tidied Rongchuan's clothes.
The driver's forehead was covered with sweat. He didn't want to do anything dirty, but he couldn't help it. This editor was really good-looking. People with educated skin had fair complexion. The driver felt that he had discovered a big secret!
Rong Chuan felt a little embarrassed, "Master Hou, I'm leaving first."
Lord Ning really enjoyed taking care of his son. "Yeah."
Rongchuan got on the carriage, and Ning Xu's expression changed immediately. He looked at the coachman expressionlessly. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes warned the coachman.
The driver wanted to swear immediately, "Be careful with your mouth!"
The next day, in Jinzhou, Zhulan went to Lord Wang's house early in the morning to propose marriage. It was already a good idea and things were going smoothly. Once the horoscopes were matched, they could go through the next process.
There was no problem with Wu Yong and Wang Ling's horoscopes, so Zhulan made an appointment with Xue to wait for Wang Ling to arrive in Jinzhou to go through the rest of the procedures.
Because she was in a hurry, Xue went to urge the marriage as soon as she got the horoscope results.
Wu Yong's previous betrothal gift had been returned. In fact, it was enough for him to be engaged to Wang Ling, but it was unlucky because the betrothal gift had been returned once, so he had to arrange it again after some discussion.
