Fish swimming around the world

Nangong groom? Yuwen Chengxin was stunned, and then he thought that indeed, his father had said that Nangong Xin was just this man's groom.

But looking at his appearance, it seems that he was mostly teasing, not deliberately belittling.

"I heard that you are very good at business?" Jiang Fan asked with interest.

"I dare not. In front of the prince, I am not even a firefly."

Jiang Fan waved his hand: "Don't be so cautious, speak nicely. If you are good, you are good, don't be too modest. Nangong Xin admires you very much. I was a little skeptical at first, but after today's court incident, I think it is very likely. Tell me, how do you manage the Yuwen family's business?"

Yuwen Chengxin is such a transparent person that he already understands that this prince is different from others, so he relaxed and told some of his own things in detail. Unexpectedly, this prince actually listened with relish, interrupted from time to time to ask a few questions, and sometimes even applauded. Yuwen Chengxin felt more and more relaxed, and gradually began to return to normal level.

The chat lasted until dusk.

Jiang Fan came back to his senses when her stomach growled. He looked at her embarrassed face and smiled, "We have been chatting for so long without realizing it. My fault. Stay for dinner today."

Yuwen Chengxin did not dare to refuse, and she had heard that the prince was also a gourmet, so she was a little bit expectant. The most important thing was that the prince was willing to keep her for dinner, which showed his recognition of her, and this also made Yuwen Chengxin finally put down her heart.

Of course, it was inevitable to be uneasy. The scene she saw in the courtyard made her still unable to figure out the man's mind. The superiors are often fickle. It is normal that they are gentle and mellow one moment and thunderous the next.

What she never expected was that she would have dinner at the same table with King Xiaoyao. She had never heard of this way of eating with several people sitting around a round table. And she quietly observed those who had dinner with the prince, and they did not feel uncomfortable at all, as if they were used to it.

What surprised her the most was that the tortured young man was also present, and he was not polite. Before the prince could pick up his chopsticks, he picked up two pancakes and ate them.

The prince just pretended to be angry and hit him with chopsticks: "Asshole, go wash your hands!"

The young man laughed and stuffed two pancakes into his mouth before going to wash.

After coming back, he still ate a lot without caring.

Jiang Fan was also helpless. He agreed to come only for two hours a day, but this guy just stayed here for a long time, eating, drinking and living for free, and rarely went home. The key is that he is a thief who eats a lot. He eats ten pancakes for a meal, not to mention the food and wine. Gu Beiyan is willing to admit that he is better. This apprentice, accept compensation...

Yu Wencheng was a little confused. What happened?

The prince kicked him in frustration, "You're just busy eating. We have guests today. Let me introduce you." He pointed at Yuwen Chengxin: "Yuwen Chengxin from the Yuwen family."

Yuwen Chengxin stood up quickly, but before she could say anything, the prince became impatient again: "Sit down, I told you there aren't so many rules."

Then he introduced her: "Gu Beiyan, you've met our housekeeper... er, the chief housekeeper. The one with peach blossom eyes, the handsome one, Ding Shaoan, the head of security... the captain of the guard. This one, the Gongshu family, the chief of the Gongshu Yu clan. This... this good-for-nothing, Meng Yi, my apprentice."

Yuwen Chengxin didn't dare to stand up and greet casually, so she had to smile: "I'm Yuwen Chengxin, a commoner, meet you all." She was naturally very surprised. He didn't know where Gu Beiyan and Ding Shaoan came from, but she was really surprised by the name of the chief of the Gongshu clan. The first craftsman family that had been secluded from the world for a hundred years was actually hiding in the Xiaoyao Palace? As for the ravaged boy, she knew that he was the prince's apprentice. It was not surprising that what she saw today was the prince teaching his apprentice.

The boy who ate a lot of food had a pancake in his mouth and puffed his cheeks: "Oh, oh, don't be polite, eat quickly."

There were six or seven people at the table, eight dishes, wine, and the wonderful tea that I had just drunk. There was laughter and joy. The prince had no airs at all, and the others were also very casual. This atmosphere was wonderful. There was even a pretty little maid who ran to the prince's table to grab two chicken legs. Moreover, the prince... even picked up some food for herself...

She was still confused until the meal was over. She never thought that one day she would have a meal with the world-famous King Xiaoyao, and it was such a strange way of eating.

After dinner, King Xiaoyao really sent someone to send her back.

For some reason, she was a little disappointed. Along the way, she was thinking about the handsome, magical, and free-spirited young prince.

But what she was looking forward to was that the prince admired her very much and asked her to come again tomorrow, saying that he had something to tell her.

When she returned home, her father called her for a long time before he finally brought her back to her senses.

Yuwen Shu looked at her anxiously: "My daughter, what's wrong with you? You look absent-minded. Did the King Xiaoyao make things difficult for you?"

Yuwen Chengxin shook his head: "No, and the prince is very good, very approachable, not like other officials at all, and he invited me to dinner..."

Yuwen Shu was stunned: "Is this... serious?"

Yuwen Chengxin thought for a while: "In short, this prince is different and not ordinary. My daughter doesn't know how to describe it."

Yuwen Shu sighed: "I'm glad that he didn't make things difficult for you. Did the prince say how to settle my Yuwen family?"

Yuwen Chengxin thought: "No, he just asked me a lot of business questions. I was talking and he was listening. But every time he said a few words, my daughter was amazed. His talent and knowledge are unparalleled in the world, it's true."

Yuwen Shu pondered, "The prince must have some plans in mind. He may just want to see you today."

Yuwen Chengxin nodded, "Yes, what the prince talked about today was very strange. He seemed to be very interested in business. My daughter thinks that he may have helped my Yuwen family because of this. The prince will summon me tomorrow, and I think some things will be clear. But daddy, don't worry. His Royal Highness Xiaoyao Wang is a very good person..."

He is a very good person? Is this what you, a commoner, should say? That person is the same as Xiaoyao Wang, under the empress, and above millions of people. Yuwen Shu looked at his daughter in a daze, and felt a little strange in his heart.

——

When she saw the prince the next day, he was talking to a masked woman in green. She wanted to avoid him, but the prince said it was okay. She sat aside and waited obediently.

"The old witch never thought that the young master would suddenly become the Xiaoyao Wang of the Qin Dynasty. This demon-killing order is a bit hot. Should I issue it or not? Hehe..." The green-clothed woman smiled.

"Ignore her. I'll see how she fills the hole she dug. Let's continue talking about the Jin-Xia War."

"Sir, the fight between Jin and Xia was quite interesting."

It turned out to be the Jin-Xia War. Yuwen Chengxin couldn't help but listen attentively. After all, cousin Nangong was still in Jin State, and she was also very concerned about this war.

Jiang Fan smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid it's a fake play."

"It's hard to tell. The fight three days ago was very fierce. Jin State lost 8,000 soldiers in one battle."

Jiang Fan said, "Xiao Cui is the real one. Both sides are very scheming. They actually took this opportunity to cooperate with each other to clean up. They are really not easy to deal with."

"Sir, what you mean is that they really fought?"
