Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 80 My brother
Seeing his deflated appearance, Jiang Wan Ning felt the long-lost happiness.

Who makes him always put on a bad face?
If you don't tease him, who will you tease?
Jiang Wan Ning smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, please take it easy. I will ask Mr. Wen to accompany you."

As he spoke, he was about to step back.

"You stop."

"Is there any other order, sir?"

Gu Zhouting's eyes fell on the chair opposite: "Sit down."

"It's... not so good!"

Gu Zhouting became angry when he saw her pretending to be in trouble. He really wanted to take her to Dali Temple for a good interrogation, but he didn't believe he couldn't pry her mouth open.

"I have something to ask you."

Jiang Wanning reluctantly sat down.

"Ask me, sir, and tell me everything you know."

"How did you coax the prince to let you come back?"

Jiang Wan Ning smiled self-deprecatingly: "It seems that my image in the eyes of adults is worrying."

"I didn't coax His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince is wise and mighty. How can I, a commoner woman, coax him?"

Gu Zhou stopped holding the wine bottle halfway, and couldn't help but pause for a breath.

Why does this sound so harsh?
The prince is not easy to coax, so he is easy to deceive?

"I did dream about Lady Shangguan."

The words are not surprising and die endlessly.

Gu Zhouting's eyes became colder and colder: "If you say such things again, believe it or not, I will invite you to Dali Temple tonight."

He would not believe such nonsense.

He could understand her desperation to save Zhaoyang.

But if she dared to use Nan Zhi's name to do other things, he would never forgive her.

Jiang Wan Ning sighed inwardly, but he didn't believe it to be honest.

"I mean... I told the prince that I did dream about Mrs. Shangguan. In front of the prince, I must bite the bullet and not let go, otherwise I won't be able to sit here and talk to Mr. Gu tonight."

Gu Zhouting's expression softened slightly: "If you say so, the prince will believe it?"

"Of course it's not that easy. The prince asked me what Mrs. Shangguan looked like, and I said her face was covered in blood and her appearance could not be seen clearly... I heard about Mr. Shu's story in the teahouse about Mrs. Shangguan's life. I thought she died in that incident. The brutal battle must have caused blood all over the body.”

Gu Zhouting felt a pain in his heart. There were dozens of holes in a person's body. It must be very painful!

Seeing that he was in a low mood, Jiang Wan Ning didn't say anything, looked at him silently, and drank three glasses of wine in a row.

"Sir, have some food."

Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is harmful to the body.

Gu Zhouting adjusted his mood and said, "If you have time tomorrow, you can come to my house. Doctor Zhou is about to come to take my mother's pulse, so he can take a look at you."

Jiang Wanning's heart sank. Is Aunt Gu's sick?
Three years ago, Aunt Gu was still in good health, a cheerful and funny person.

I really want to go see Aunt Gu, but now is not the time. Jiang Wanning said tactfully: "I'd better meet less adults recently. If His Highness the Crown Prince knows about it, His Highness the Crown Prince will think that what I say is all taught by Your Majesty." .”

Gu Zhouting did not insist and drank another cup of Chunshan Zui: "There are still official duties at Dali Temple, so I'll leave first."

get up and leave.

"Sir, you haven't eaten a bite of the food!"

Gu Zhou didn't even look back: "Another day."

Gu Zhouting didn't know why he said this and looked forward to meeting her again.

Maybe it's because she has an inexplicable sense of familiarity!
The next day, Shangguan Zhaoyang finally went out after recovering from his injuries.

"Anhe, you don't have to follow me anymore. Recuperate at home."

Shangguan Zhaoyang refused to let An He follow, and An He's arm was still hanging.

An He was worried: "My little legs and feet are not injured." In short, Wulang cannot be allowed to go out alone.

Shangguan Zhaoyang couldn't resist him, but he was determined not to let An He carry the book box, so he carried it himself.

The master and the servant walked to the academy every day.

It's not like he was too poor to ride a carriage. His family originally had a lot of property, and the emperor would give him many rewards every year.

However, in the Battle of Gubei, almost all the Zhenbei Army was wiped out, and the pension provided by the court was too little. That was tens of thousands of fresh lives, and each of them was the strong laborer of the family.

Therefore, Shangguan Zhaoyang, who was still 14 years old at the time, sold his family's property to supplement his pension to the injured Zhenbei Army.

Therefore, in the past three years, he had to tighten his belt and save money whenever he could.

When I turned the intersection, I saw a shop on the side of the road being renovated.

I don’t know what kind of shop I want to open.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a woman wearing a hood walking out of the renovated shop.

Shangguan Zhaoyang's eyes lit up: "Ms. Jiang?"

Jiang Wanning paused, and Shangguan Zhaoyang walked over quickly, with a hint of uncertainty: "You are Mrs. Jiang, right?"

Jiang Wan Ning smiled: "Well, young man."

She came out of the shop when she saw Zhaoyang coming. She thought he couldn't recognize her, but she didn't expect him to be so sharp-eyed.

Shangguan Zhaoyang was delighted: "It's really you."

Immediately he became nervous, looked around, and whispered: "Ms. Jiang, be careful, the people from the Anping Mansion are still looking for you."

Jiang Wan Ning said: "I'll just come to the shop to have a look, and I'll be back soon."

"This shop belongs to you? What do you plan to do for a living?"

"Open a teahouse."

Shangguan Zhaoyang said: "Ms. Jiang, this street is not very popular. I'm afraid it's not suitable to open a teahouse."

Jiang Wanxin said: This teahouse is opened for you, and it is not intended to make money.

But if she really wants to make money, she can make money wherever she opens her business.

"Thank you for reminding me, young man. I will just open a shop to practice my skills, because my home is close to here."

"Is your home nearby?"

"Well, the courtyard at the end of Xichun Lane."

"Xichun Lane, that's really close. Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I just moved from the south, and the day I met Mr. Young was my first day in the city."

Shangguan Zhaoyang said in his heart: Fate!I saved him once when I arrived.

"Xiao Langjun, are you going to school? It's getting late." Jiang Wanning reminded softly.

Shangguan Zhaoyang slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot about going to school. Madam Jiang, I'm leaving now. Let's talk another day."

After saying that, he pulled An He and ran away. After running more than ten steps, Shangguan Zhaoyang ran back again, put down the book box, and bowed to Jiang Wanning respectfully: "Thank you, Madam Jiang, for rescuing the boy that day. If it's convenient, I'll come and say thank you after I finish school."

Jiang Wan Ning smiled and said, "No need to thank you. Come and have a cup of tea, young man. I have a good tongue at home."

Watching Shangguan Zhaoyang leave, Yu Niang said: "This young man is so polite."

Jiang Wan Ning's eyes were full of doting smiles, and she didn't even look at who he was. He was her biological brother.

"Yu Niang, cook more delicious food tonight, bring out all your newly developed dishes, and treat the young man to dinner."

Yu Niang said happily: "I obey."

The master and servant walked back, and Yu Niang said: "Madam, I forgot to tell you that Shangguan Xiaolangjun has been officially crowned as the crown prince. I heard that he will inherit the title of Zhenbei Marquis when he is weak."

She heard the news while having dinner at Wangxian Tower. That day, the lady was taken away by His Royal Highness, and then Mr. Gu came to visit, so she forgot to mention it.

Jiang Wanning was quite pleased that Zhaoyang had grown up and knew how to hide one's strength, bide one's time and endure the humiliation.
