ALL NOVEL Chapter 32:
Chapter 32
The Prince of Yan actually gave away a few cans at the first word... This shows how much respect he has in front of His Royal Highness.
Wei Hanzhang believed his previous promise even more, and his worries about the safety of his grandfather's family were slightly relieved. When he held the tea cup, Chunri's clothes were light and the wide-mouthed sleeves slid down, directly exposing half of his wrist, which was dazzlingly white.
Xiao Junzhan caught a glimpse of it inadvertently and quickly looked away. The tips of his ears turned a little red.
Wei Hanzhang didn't pay attention to his expression and tasted the good tea in the cup again.
She applied a thin layer of lipstick, and when she put down the tea cup, there was a lip mark on the porcelain cup, and Xiao Junzhan's eyes rested on it.
Wei Hanzhang felt uncomfortable when he looked at him, raised his eyes and said, "Have you never seen the cup that the girl drank from?"
Xiao Junzhan opened his eyes and remained silent. The light red at the tips of his ears deepened.
Wei Hanzhang felt that this man was extremely contradictory.
Obviously, a wife died halfway, and when she saw the beautiful girl, she had to look at the lustfulness of both eyes.
She tapped her finger on the tea table and looked at his side face with her eyes. She had a fearless nature. At this moment, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Prince Xiao, has anyone ever said that you are very pretentious?"
Xiao Junzhan looked at her helplessly: "Speak carefully and don't talk nonsense."
“Oh, I’ll stop talking nonsense.” Wei Hanzhang wouldn’t be willing to talk to him if he didn’t feel that it was too awkward for both of them to be quiet.
She held her chin up and looked around. This seemed to be a study room.
The row of bookshelves against the wall are filled with thick books, without even any decorative ornaments.
In an era without electronic screens, her eyesight was excellent, and her eyes were attracted to a book of music scores.
After looking at it for a few seconds, Xiao Junzhan noticed it. He got up and walked over to fetch the piano score, handed it to her and said, "Except for some letters on the desk, you can read through the things here."
Wei Hanzhang had no idea what kind of preferential treatment this was, so he nodded slightly and lowered his head to read it very naturally.
She knew a lot about qin art, and after a quick scan, she knew that the copy in her hand was an orphan that had been lost for many years, and was created by Xie Daoling, a master of qin music.
Wei Hanzhang was mesmerized at first glance. Xiao Junzhan did not disturb her and looked at her quietly.
The girl is in her prime, and she is dressed quite plainly today. Except for a gold and jade bracelet on her wrist, she has no other decorations, and she only has a plain hairpin in her hair.
He threw the etiquette behind him and looked at it almost abruptly, feeling a little confused...
This is a girl who has not yet had her haircut, as old as his niece...
When Wei Hanzhang finished reading the music score, he found that his master was already busy at the desk.
He is not reading, writing or painting. He is holding something folded like a letter in his hand, and seems to be dealing with official business.
Wei Hanzhang thought of the purpose of his coming here, quietly got up, walked to the desk, held the ink stick and started grinding it slowly.
She glanced at the words above and was slightly startled.
‘Mianyang Jiedu envoy Liu Yuanshangshu’…
What should a local official tell the prince?
“Ran Ran,” Xiao Junzhan called her softly and said, “You don’t have to do these grinding ink and serving tea, just stay here and stay. If you are bored, you can browse the books here at will.”
Wei Hanzhang's eyebrows jumped at his words of "Ran Ran".
Before, I called you "Miss Ran Ran", why did you suddenly call me "Ran Ran"?
She was stunned in place. Xiao Junzhan thought she was worried about the Jiang family's affairs, so he said warmly: "Don't worry, I will never break my promise." Wei Hanzhang found that the man in front of him had always been gentle and soft-spoken. Calm down, looking graceful and generous, with a good temper, but it makes it difficult for people to resist.
For example, at this moment, she actually didn't want to be called by him with a small word, but she didn't know how to remind...correct her out loud.
She has never come into contact with such people before...
Even my grandfather, Marquis Zhongyong, did not have the aura of taking things lightly.
Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and continued to study the ink, and then asked: "When will my grandfather's family arrive in Beijing?"
"As little as five days, as long as seven days." Xiao Junzhan pondered for a moment and explained: "The Jiangnan corruption case was personally investigated by the prince. Jiang Zixiu was a humble official and was just an accomplice. He had not received any stolen money and would not be implicated. family."
He didn't just ask the beginning, but he was so detailed that he briefly described the details of the case that his uncle was involved in. Wei Hanzhang continued to study the ink and hummed in a low voice.
She knew that something must have happened to the whole Jiang family in the original novel, and it was such a big deal that even the eldest daughter was divorced and no one came forward. This person's frivolous words of "the family will not be implicated" were definitely not the answer.
The reason why the family will not be implicated is because Prince Xiao is confident that if he intercedes for mercy, His Highness the Crown Prince will let the Jiang family go.
Thinking of this, Wei Hanzhang felt a little more grateful and thanked him softly.
"Ran Ran..." Xiao Junzhan turned his head and looked at her quietly, and whispered: "You don't need to be reserved with me, and you don't need to be polite to me... you should understand what I mean."
This is the first time he has expressed his feelings so frankly, and his usually calm tone is even a little green.
Wei Hanzhang, who was a little embarrassed when he heard his abrupt words, was shocked by his appearance.
Where did this wonderful man come from? He is the one who speaks frivolously and abruptly, and he is also the one who is young and embarrassed.
Isn't he a romantic young man with a bunch of concubines in his backyard?
Why do you look so easy to bully?
Is this how you look to deceive a little girl?
Wei Hanzhang pursed his lips and stared at him without saying a word, just staring at him.
Xiao Junzhan looked at her for a long time, and was finally struck by the brilliance in her eyes. He lowered his eyes and called out softly: "Ran Ran..."
Wei Hanzhang finally couldn't hold it back and said softly: "I wonder how old Prince Xiao is now?"
She was nodding at him, a young girl who was still thinking about her youth.
Xiao Junzhan didn't know, he already cared about this in his heart, and being asked this question made him even more agitated.
After a few breaths of silence, he suddenly stretched out his hand to cover the back of her hand that was grinding ink, "I am twenty-five this year, which is exactly ten years older than you. You..."
The man's palm was large and warm, covering her hand tightly. This was the first time Wei Hanzhang had been so close to a foreign man except Gu Yunran since he was sensible.
“Prince Xiao!” She interrupted hurriedly with her fingers trembling in shock: “If you were a few years older, you could be my father, why are you so frivolous!”
She came here to negotiate a deal with him, to grind ink and serve tea for him, and he helped to save the Jiang family by speaking kindly in front of the prince.
Even though she wanted something from someone, she had no intention of committing herself to him, not to mention that he only made a verbal promise and had not actually rescued the Jiang family yet.
Xiao Junzhan has had a calm temperament since he was a child, and rarely gets angry. This is the first time in his life that he knows what it means to be frightened and angry.
