Chapter 32

This prince of Prince Yan actually gave away a few cans at his first request... This shows how proud he is in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Wei Hanzhang believed his previous promise even more, and his worries about the safety of his grandfather's family relaxed slightly. 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 turning 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 the tea cup down, there was a lip mark on the porcelain cup, and Xiao Junzhan's gaze rested on it.

Wei Hanzhang felt uncomfortable looking 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 tip of his ears deepened.

Wei Hanzhang felt that this man was extremely contradictory.

He is obviously a lecherous man whose wife has been dead for half a year, but he always looks twice at a beautiful girl when he sees her. However, he always looks shy, as if someone has seduced him.

She tapped her fingers on the tea table and looked at his side face. She had a fearless temperament. 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, then I won't talk nonsense." Wei Hanzhang wouldn't be willing to talk to him if he didn't think 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, and there are not even any decorative ornaments.

In an era before electronic screens, she had excellent eyesight and her eyes were attracted to a book of music scores.

After looking at it for a few breaths, 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 art.

Wei Hanzhang was mesmerized at the first glance. Xiao Junzhan did not disturb her and looked at her quietly.

The girl is in her cardamom years, 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 all etiquette behind him and looked at it almost abruptly, feeling a little confused...

This is a girl who has not yet had her haircut, and is 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 was not reading, writing or painting. He was holding something folded like a letter in his hand, and seemed to be dealing with official business.

Wei Hanzhang thought of his purpose here, quietly stood 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 Jiedushi Liu Yuanshangshu'...

What should a local official tell the prince of the palace?
"Ran Ran," Xiao Junzhan called her softly and said, "You don't have to do all 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'.

You were calling 'Miss Ran Ran' before, why did you suddenly become Ran Ran?

She was stunned in place. Xiao Junzhan thought that she was worried about the Jiang family, so he said warmly: "Don't worry, I will never break my promise." Wei Hanzhang found that the man in front of him had been speaking softly and angrily from the beginning to the end. Calm and leisurely, looking graceful and generous, with a good temper, it makes it difficult for people to resist.

For example, at this moment, she actually didn't want to be called by him in a small way, but she didn't know how to remind...correct her out loud.

She had never come into contact with such people before...

Even my grandfather, Marquis Zhongyong, did not have the aura to take things lightly.

Wei Hanzhang lowered his eyes and continued to study ink, 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 only asked the beginning of the question, but he was so detailed that he roughly explained the details of the case that his uncle was involved in. Wei Hanzhang continued to brush his fingers 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 no one came forward even after the eldest daughter was abandoned. It was definitely not something that could be determined by this person's frivolous words of "the family will not be implicated."

The reason why the family will not be implicated is because Prince Xiao is confident that if he comes forward to intercede, His Highness the Crown Prince will let the Jiang family go.

Thinking of this, Wei Hanzhang felt a little more grateful in his heart 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 was the first time he had expressed his feelings so frankly, and his usually calm tone was even tinged with a hint of youthfulness.

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 was the one who spoke frivolously and abruptly, and he was the one who was young and embarrassed.

Isn't he a romantic young man with a group of concubines in his backyard?

Why do you look so easy to bully?

Just relying on this appearance 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 smitten by the look 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.

How could Xiao Junzhan not know that he already cared about this, but 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 studying ink, "I am twenty-five years old, and I am ten years older than you. You..."

The man's palm was large and warm, covering her hand tightly. This was the first time since Wei Hanzhang was sensible that he had been so close to a foreign man other than Gu Yunran.

"Prince Xiao!" Her fingers trembled in shock, and she hurriedly interrupted: "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. She would grind ink and serve tea for him, and he would help save the Jiang family by speaking nicely in front of the prince.

Although 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.
