Chapter 657 Invitation
Zhulan didn't see Changlian, "Changlian still sleeping?"
Mrs. Dong nodded, "He's still asleep, so I didn't have the heart to call him. I'll let the kitchen heat up some food, and when I wake up, I can eat it."
Zhulan put down her granddaughter, "Then leave them alone, let's eat first."
Dong Shi, "Yes."
Early the next morning, Zhulan saw Changlian and the others who had rested well, and the three of them didn't wake up. When it was dawn, they asked, "Have you recovered your spirits?"
Changlian felt refreshed, "Mother, my son is very clear-headed now."
Just as Zhulan was about to speak, Mrs. Song came in with a post in her hand, "Mistress, for the post from Ninghou Mansion, please invite the third son and Mr. Rongchuan."
Zhulan had a feeling that she had finally arrived, and took it over to look at the post. There were a lot of words written in the post, revealing sincerity, without any high profile.
Chang Lian had met Lord Ning several times, and was very surprised to be invited, "My son thought that Lord Hou had forgotten about me!"
You know, after Ning Hou Ye regained his identity, he was not only the emperor's uncle, but also the most popular person around the emperor. It was a surprise that he and Rong Chuan were invited despite how many powerful and powerful people were fawning on him.
Zhulan looked at her excited son, and thought to herself, you are just passing by, "You guys also clean up for a while and go, don't keep Lord Hou waiting for a long time."
Changlian held the post happily, "Mother, I'm going to change clothes right away."
Rong Chuan remembered Ning Houye, these days for the palace examination, he suppressed all his conjectures, and now he turned up again, he didn't want to go, his jaw was tense, but he had already been invited, he had to go, "Auntie, I'll go back and change."
Seeing that Rong Chuan was somewhat resistant, Zhulan wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say, she felt a little depressed, who made Zhou Mansion just a small fourth-rank official, without the trust of the emperor, nothing, Rong Chuan's life experience had no chance of intervening No!
Shi Qing waited for Rong Chuan to leave, and said, "Auntie, I've been bothering you for the past two days, so I should go back home."
"Ah good."
In Ninghou Mansion, Ning Xu has been waiting eagerly. He has already passed the Ming Road in front of the emperor, and he doesn't have too many scruples. He only felt that Rong Chuan was destined for Ning Mansion.
Who made the elder brother die before he established his dynasty? There are really not many people who know the elder brother. Except for his family and a few acquaintances, many people have seen him and almost forgot.
The eldest brother and the second brother look like their father, but not exactly, which makes Rong Chuan a little more secure.
Even if the emperor made the arrangements, Rong Chuan's appearance is still safe. This kid is very lucky, he grew up safely after going through many hardships!
Soon, the housekeeper brought people in, and Ning Xu's eyes were all on Rong Chuan. Last time, he only saw his face. This time, he looked at the whole person. He is not short, only half a head shorter than him, and he can continue to grow. Looking closer now, it looks like, it looks too much like the elder brother. If the armor is changed, people will believe that the elder brother is alive.
Rong Chuan felt a little uncomfortable being seen, and took two steps back. Chang Lian also felt it, frowned, stepped forward to block his eyes, and said politely, "Master Hou."
Ning Xu withdrew his gaze, and smiled heartily, "Youth is a talent, the two of you are not very old, and you are full of demeanor, good, good."
Chang Lian recalled that Lord Ning had been ignoring him just now, and this one was aiming at Rong Chuan, "We are too young to be praised, Lord Hou is the real hero."
Ning Xu watched Zhou Changlian keep blocking Rong Chuan, feeling satisfied in his heart, yes, the people in the Zhou Mansion were very protective of Rong Chuan, and their attitude towards Chang Lian became more kind, "Sit, sit down, you're welcome, I haven't been out for many years. There are so many rules, you can do whatever you want."
Chang Lian didn't dare to be careless anymore, instead he became more cautious, "Master Hou invited the two of us over today, but do you have any questions for the two of us?"
Ning Xu praised Zhou Changlian, very perceptive, "I just think this young master is kind, so I want to meet him."
Chang Lian remembered Rong Chuan's life experience, and Rong Chuan was born in the capital. He was relieved to see that Lord Ning's attitude was always kind and harmless.
It's also my brother-in-law's honor. "
Ning Xu smiled. What this means is that there are too many people who look alike, so don't think too much about it.
Rong Chuan's heart was warm, and the third brother kept blocking him to protect him, and secretly pulled off the third brother's sleeve, "Master Hou must have investigated, you invited us here, you don't just want to meet!"
The more Ning Xu looked at Rong Chuan, the more he liked Rong Chuan. This love surpassed his liking for the prince. There was no way, the prince was raised by the emperor in such a complicated way that even an uncle like him couldn't understand it. He had to carefully figure out every word the prince said. , Rong Chuan is better, even if there is some scheming, it will make people close, "This is really just to meet."
Rong Chuan was dissatisfied with this reply, but Lord Ning didn't answer, so he couldn't help it. He was also a bachelor, so he didn't ask any more, so what should he do? He couldn't resist at this level.
Ning Xu became more interested in the child. The child is stable. If it were an ordinary person, he would have asked about it long ago. At the same time, he explained that the child had a good heart and would not lose himself for power. He also thought of the child's experience when he was young. Thinking about the days in the Zhou Mansion, this child doesn't want to leave the Zhou Mansion, and he is also afraid of breaking the current happiness.
Thinking about it this way, Ning Xu's heart became even more unhappy, and he became even more annoyed. He was happy to save Rong Chuan's Zhang family, but angrily abused Rong Chuan.
Chang Lian's heart was tense. Just now Lord Ning's eyes were sharp. Although he closed quickly, he kept paying attention to Lord Ning and noticed it. The cold sweat dripped down his back. He always remembered that his father said that Lord Ning had been a spy for many years. , the most indispensable thing is a mask, boldness is just a mask.
Ning Xu saw that Zhou Changlian was wary of him, come on, he screwed up this meeting, and if he stayed with the two of them for a while, he didn't know what he thought of him!
Ning Xu was about to see him off, but the prince walked in.
Ning Xu stood up, "I have seen the prince, why did the prince come to the minister's house today?"
The prince helped up the third uncle himself, "Third uncle, there is no need to salute in private, we are all one family."
Ning Xu also listened. He didn't take it seriously. At this moment, he was still afraid that he would drift away. It would be bad to develop a habit. "Rules are rules, so don't waste money."
The crown prince changed the subject, "Third Uncle invited someone here, it seems that I didn't bother you."
Ning Xu replied, "No, the crown prince invited Zhou Changlian. This minister invited Zhou Changlian. The crown prince also knows that the minister and Zhou Changlian have met each other for a while."
The crown prince naturally knew, after Zhou Changlian and the other prince saw the ceremony, he said, "You don't have to be cautious, sit down."
Zhou Changlian was nervous. He really didn't expect to see the prince this time. He seemed to have seen the fifth prince. Yes, he had seen the prince's companion. The prince had met him in the palace examination, and he didn't even look directly at him. This was the first time he did so. See the prince up close.
