Chapter 706 Family Banquet

After a busy day, Ren Ning didn't have time to sit down until dinner.

The restaurant was bustling, with half the room filled with people.

Even Miao Xia hurried back from the field.

Before he could take a breath, he hurriedly walked to Ren Ning and saluted, "I have met His Highness."

"I'm back." Ren Ning looked him up and down with a smile and said with emotion: "It's been a while since I last saw him. He has really grown into a man who stands upright. Let's sit down and chat!"

However, Miao Xia stood up straight, smiled and remained silent.

Since the issuance of Emperor Changxing's edict, although Prince Ning's Mansion is still the Prince's Mansion, its appearance has suddenly improved.

The Ministry of Rites, Taishi's Mansion and Zongren's Mansion often come to teach the whole family various etiquette.

Miao Xia knew that it was a big deal, so she studied seriously, remembered clearly, and never dared to neglect.

Ren Ning could only shake his head when he was told not to move.

He waved his hand and said, "There are no outsiders now. Why should we talk about etiquette when meeting outsiders? We all sit down, eat and chat."

The word "du" includes not only Lei Er, who has been staring at the vegetable basin since he entered the restaurant, but also Mrs. Zhang, Miao Dong, who taught Ren Zhan how to learn Chinese language, and the palace chief Shi Zou Dahe.

When they were outside, Lei Er always ate and lived with Ren Ning, and now he came over to sit down without any courtesy.

He grabbed his chopsticks and yelled, "Come and sit down, why are you still standing?"

"His Highness has been traveling for more than half a month and finally got home. Looking at the table full of dishes, he is already hungry. If you don't come and sit down, he will be too embarrassed to pick up his chopsticks."

Everyone couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Lei," Miao Dong couldn't help but cut him off, "Are you sure you are talking about His Highness? Who doesn't know that besides the machete, you only have snacks, and there are no broad beans in your pocket. It’s as if I’m going to die, but I still have the nerve to say that Your Highness is greedy.”

Lei Er didn't care at all, "So everyone should hurry up and sit down to have a dinner."

"That's what Lei Er said." The hostess Yingpan stood up and waved, "Your Majesty has been busy all day, so he should be hungry. We are all a family. Why are you standing here? Come and sit."

Only then did the others come and sit down.

Ren Ning shook his head.

When I was handing over the imperial seal in the palace and sealing various urgent memorials from the six ministries, I naturally had something to put on my stomach, so I wasn't too hungry at this time.

He turned to look at his adopted sister, who had always had arched eyebrows.

"Dongmei is so happy, what are you doing these days?"

The whole palace is looking forward to the princess. Needless to say, she has a lot to do with learning palace etiquette, understanding and remembering the relationships among the noble families in Xingji City, and receiving all kinds of visiting guests.

For the others, Miao Xia, Zou Dahe and even Mrs. Zhang, Ren Ning had sent letters before specifying their tasks.

The only exception was Miao Xia, a girl who was half her age. Ren Ning never asked her to do anything.

Miao Dong quickly stopped his chopsticks and turned to look at Mrs. Zhang next to him.

"Back to Your Highness, apart from attending some girls' gatherings these days, I am learning medical skills from my master."

"Study medicine?" Ren Ning was dumbfounded.

Born in Prince Ning's palace, Ren Ning was not surprised that Miao Dong could attend various gatherings of noble ladies in Xing Ji City.

"Why do you suddenly want to study medicine as a teacher?" He was a little curious.

"Your Highness," Mrs. Zhang next to her stretched out her hand to rub Miao Dong's hair and took over: "When I first arrived in Star City last year, Miao Dong had this idea. Later she mentioned it to me. I have nothing to do. Then he agreed.”

"Your Highness, this is what I think." Miao Dong quickly explained, "After I learn medical skills from my master, I can become a concubine at the newly established medical school in the empire."

Speaking of this, she stuck out her tongue playfully.

"This...maybe able to attract some female students."

"That's it." Ren Ning was greatly relieved.

According to Yunchui tradition, a woman from a serious family cannot show her face easily.

As for those who come out to take care of life or even become three aunts and six wives, they are even more despised.

But if even Prince Ning or the adopted sister of the future Emperor Yun Chui stepped forward to study medicine or even teach medicine, then what could others say.

Maybe it can change the lives of a large number of lowly women and even reverse the knowledge and traditions of the entire empire. Of course, the most important thing is that Yun Chui can have a sufficient number of doctors in the future.

"Study hard," he looked at Miao Dong encouragingly, "If anyone dares to gossip, come and tell me, and I will make him walk around without food."

Haha.

The whole table couldn't help but laugh.

That's what he said, but probably no one who doesn't have a good eye would dare to talk nonsense.

"Mrs. Zhang," Lei Er, who had been immersed in fighting for food, suddenly raised his head, "Speaking of apprentices, where is your little girl, is she still in the fortress?"

Mentioning her first apprentice, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but smile.

She shook her head slightly and turned to look at the dim light outside the window.

"He has arrived in Star City now. As for now, he should still be busy in the southern suburbs."

The first medical school in Yunchui is located not far from the southern suburbs.

Ren Ning understood and said with a smile: "It turns out that Xiao Dingzi has also arrived in Xingji City. We are all old friends. Ask him to come to the palace to get together when he is free."

When he was at Yanchuan Fortress, Xiao Dingzi often followed Mrs. Zhang everywhere to rescue the wounded.

Ren Ning and Lei Er have also met many times.

whee.

Jixiang, who was standing behind Yingpan, suddenly winked.

"Your Majesty and Brother Lei, what do you think of Ding Zi? That boy, even if we don't shout, he will come and rush through the door every three or five. The Li family's mother-in-law who is guarding the side door will be annoying him to death."

"Lucky..." Miao Dong, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly blushed.

"What's going on?" Ren Ning and Lei Er were both confused.

"What else can happen," Yingpan explained with a smile while teasing her son, "The boys are getting married and the girls are getting married. Our sister-in-law has a sweetheart."

Ren Ning and Lei Er suddenly understood.

But that's a good thing.

With Miao Dong's current status, she naturally has no worries about getting married, but neither Ren Ning nor Miao Xia want to use her for marriage.

If we meet someone who knows everything about her, it will be easy to get along with her in the future. The most important thing is that we can support Mrs. Zhang until she is old and die together.

"Panpan," Ren Ning warned, "remember to prepare a thick dowry for Sister Dong."

"Of course." Yingpan nodded with a smile, "I guarantee that when Sister Dong gets married, her makeup will be perfect."

After teasing Miao Dong, Ren Ning turned to look at Miao Xia.

"Miss Dong has been found. What about you, do you have any girl you like? If so, ask your sister-in-law to come and help find out."

"Back to Your Highness," Miao Xia smiled and shook her head, "Not yet."

These days, Miao Xia has been running back and forth between Xingji City and Huayang County, acquiring fields according to Ren Ning's wishes, easing traffic, resettling refugees, and stabilizing people's hearts. She is so busy that she has no time to talk about love.

"What's the hurry?" Lei Er raised his head from the cup and basin again and said with a smile: "Miao Xia, our good men have ambitions in all directions. As a man, we should start a career first. As for the love between children and children, we can talk about it later. Yes. Bar?"

Before Miao Xia opened her mouth, Miao Dong beside her became anxious.

"Brother Lei, you must be poor. If you have ambitions in all directions, do something first. Calculating the time, my second sister-in-law is about to give birth in Guangxin County. I don't believe you can sit still."

Lei Er's face trembled, and he couldn't help but raise his head and glance towards the south.

Everyone saw it and laughed with joy.

"Don't worry." Yingpan signaled Lei Er to relax, "You have a good rest these two days, I have arranged everything for my younger siblings. Calculating the time, in these ten days and a half, she and Sister Hezhu should be together Arrived at Star City."

Erchang Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Princess."

With the current relationship between him and Ren Ning, as long as Lei Er is willing, a commander of the Forbidden Army can be easily captured.

That was a second-grade military attache, and he was fully capable and qualified to occupy a large mansion in Xingji City. He no longer needed to stay in the distant Guangxin County.
