Chapter 181 - 181: The Crown Prince’s Response
“Sit!”
He poured a cup of tea from the teapot and handed it over.
“Thank you!” Chen Youcai lifted the teacup and placed it on the stone table.
“I saw Ma Ping ‘an at the door.”
Zhang Ronghua calmly replied,”Yes.””
Chen Youcai was tactful and didn’t ask any more questions. He just needed to nod his head.
“How confident are you?” asked Zhang Ronghua.”
“I’m afraid there’s no hope for the position of magistrate. There are too many people eyeing this position. It should be somewhere between the judge and the pushing officer.”
“This step is crucial. Once you take this step, your future will be bright.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Neither of them mentioned the mastermind, but Chen Youcai’s visit today had already explained everything. He owed Zhang Ronghua a favor. No matter when, as long as he asked, he would repay it!
Moreover, their relationship had improved and was developing in a good direction.
At this moment.
Zheng Fugui came in from the side door with two big fish that weighed ten pounds. Purple Cat followed behind him. Its stomach was bulging and it was very full. It seemed that it had gone down to catch fish to eat.
“Cousin, Lord Chen!”
Chen Youcai pretended to be dissatisfied and said with a smile,”What Lord Chen? I’m older than you, so you can just call me Brother Chen.”
“Brother Chen! ”
After handing the fish to Uncle Shi, he walked over and sat on the stone bench. He took the teapot and poured a cup of tea. Gulu, he finished it in one gulp.
“Isn’t the ceremony about to begin?’”‘
Zhang Ronghua nodded. “What do you think?”
It was very important to choose a surname. The surname of an elder or a person of high moral standing represented one’s status. The higher the status of the person who chose the surname, the higher the status of the person.
The Crown Prince did not mention it not because he had forgotten, but because he was not qualified enough! If he gave Zheng Fugui a surname, he would be the one to lose face if he made a fool of himself in the future.
Zhang Ronghua had other plans, but the time had not come yet.
The three of them chatted until Uncle Shi finished preparing lunch.
Zhang Ronghua took out two flasks of Heavenly Jade Brew and placed a cup on the table. Both parties were very satisfied with the food. Before leaving, he sent him out of the residence.
At the entrance.
“Still not leaving?”
Zheng Fugui scratched his head and asked subconsciously,””Where to?” “Go back to where you came from.”
After entering the courtyard, he closed the door and walked towards the bedroom. Since he had some time now, he would take a nap first. When Ji Xueyan came over at night, he would complete the Haoran Bone Setting.
At dawn.
A series of light footsteps sounded and stopped at the door. Ji Xueyan knocked on the door and a ” dong dong ” sound was heard.
The purple cat sat on her right shoulder and barked into the bedroom, “Meow!” In the room.
Zhang Ronghua opened his eyes and looked out the window at the night sky.
He had a good sleep.
He got down from the bed, put on his clothes, and lit the candle. He walked over and opened the door. He looked at her and saw that she was dressed differently today. Although she was still the same person, he did not know if it was an illusion, but her skirt was 20 centimeters shorter than before, exposing more of her snow-white and smooth legs to the air.
He let her in and the purple cat jumped off her shoulder. It waved its paws at him as if it was saying,” I’m not going in.”
Zhang Ronghua smiled, closed the door, and pointed at the chair.”Sit!”
Ji Xueyan nodded lightly and walked over. She pulled out a chair and sat down. She poured a cup of tea for her and placed it in front of her. Then, she poured herself another cup and sat down opposite her.
She removed the veil on her face, revealing her exquisite and flawless face. Her long eyelashes fluttered like half-moons, her tall and exquisite nose, her red lips and white teeth, and she held the teacup in her hand. She took a small sip and then put it down.
Perhaps she didn’t realize that she was becoming more and more casual when she was alone with Zhang Ronghua.
Before this, she had always worn a veil. Even in Jixia Learning Palace, she rarely took it off.
But now, it seemed much more natural. Perhaps in her subconscious, she was already used to it.
Zhang Ronghua took a glance and then looked away. Every time he saw this face, he would have other thoughts in his heart. He had the urge to reach out and rub it.
He used the tea to hide his thoughts and not make himself look awkward.
After finishing the cup of tea, he put down the teacup.
The two of them looked at each other. Their gazes collided in the air and separated as soon as they touched. They both turned their gazes away and did not dare to look anymore.
The awkward atmosphere spread! No one spoke.
Seeing that time was about to be wasted, Zhang Ronghua broke the silence.”Let’s begin!”
Ji Xueyan replied softly. Xia Fei’s cheeks flushed red as he thought about what was about to happen. He looked less cold and more charming.
He stood up from the chair and walked to the bedroom without Zhang Ronghua’s permission. His footsteps were very slow. It was only a few steps away, but it took him a long time to reach the bed.
Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself down and not think too much about it. But even so, when she looked at the bed, curtains, and blankets that were right in front of her, her heart was beating very fast, like a small deer. Fortunately, she was born cold and had good self-control skills. Her heart was in a mess, but she did not show it on her face. At most, she breathed a little harder!
Sitting on the bed, she stretched out her jade-like hand. Under the candlelight, her fair jade-like arm had an additional yellow glow. It swayed left and right, giving people the urge to grab her hand and rub it fiercely.
Ji Xueyan took off her shoes. When it was time for her socks, her movements slowed down again..
