Chapter 234: New Top Scholar (2)
"Then add another three hundred taels of silver and send it over." For Banhua, let alone three hundred taels, even taking three thousand taels to give away is just a few words, but she knew very well in her heart that with this Chen Zhuangyuan's character, if the silver is more than a few hundred taels, even if he is beaten to death, he will not accept it.
"Princess, isn't this inappropriate?"
"What's wrong, who in the entire capital doesn't know that the second prince and I are disgusted by the two, and he doesn't like people, so what if I'm willing to help?" Ban Hua sneered, "He's still just King Ning now. , is not the king of our Daye dynasty, what can he do to me?"
Her title was bestowed by Emperor Yunqing, even if Jiang Luo was covered with ornaments from the neck up, he would not dare to touch her.
"Yes, this subordinate will do it now."
Ever since he suffered from heatstroke outside the Great Moon Palace, Chen Heyang has been seriously ill. He has been raised at home for several days, but he has not fully recovered. Several colleagues came to see him once or twice, and they all said that he was too impulsive, and he should be cautious when doing big things.
Later, these colleagues gradually came less and less, and he was short of money, so he had to pawn some things to pay the rent for the second half of the year, and his life was really difficult.
He almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears when the book boy said that the guards of Princess Fuller asked to see him. Ten days ago, they went to see Princess Fule, but they were teased by the princess. Now they are sending someone here, is it to laugh at him again?
Although he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly welcomed the person in.
The visitor was about 27 or 28 years old, ordinary in appearance but dignified, he looked like a Lianjiazi. Behind him were a few servants carrying gift boxes and carrying burdens, all of whom were well dressed and looked honest and honest.
"The princess heard about Chen Zhuangyuan's feat, and admired Chen Zhuangyuan's character very much. These small gifts are a wish of the princess. Please don't refuse Chen Zhuangyuan." Now Chen Heyang has no official position, but his fame is still there. He respectfully calls "Chen Zhuangyuan" "It is already the most respectful name.
Chen Heyang did not expect that what he received was not a mockery, but a solemn gift. Looking at the pile of gifts, there are medicinal materials, cloth and meat, all of which are practical things. Presumably the honorable princess gave him something for this reason considering his own difficulties.
For a moment, Chen Heyang had mixed feelings in his heart, he got up and saluted the guard: "The princess is kind, the students appreciate it, it's just these..."
"The princess said that if Chen Zhuangyuan doesn't care about these things, just throw them away. She never likes others to return the things she sends out." The guard stood up and saluted Chen Heyang, "Please don't let Chen Zhuangyuan I am in a difficult situation."
"this……"
The guard didn't wait for him to speak, and said directly: "Farewell."
"Hey, wait!" Poor Chen Heyang, a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken, and is still ill, his hands and feet are not as fast as the guards. When he chases to the door, the guards have already been riding The horse left.
"The Jingting mansion is really prominent, even the servants are equipped with horses." The book boy supported Chen Heyang, his eyes were full of envy.
Chen Heyang smiled wryly when he heard the words, there are as many nobles in the capital as a cow's hair, but there are indeed not many such prominent families as Jingting Gongfu. He is a poor scholar with no power and power, and now he is not even of any use value. No one dares to help him too clearly, but this princess sends people to help him with great fanfare. A sense of strangeness.
Back in the study, Chen Heyang looked at the poems he had written on the table after being disheartened. After a long time, he crumpled up the paper and threw it into the wastebasket.
A real man does not regret what he does, and does not doubt what he does, so it should be so.
"My lord, my lord," the bookboy suddenly came in with a black cloth bag in his arms, "The little one found this."
Chen Heyang opened the bag and saw that there were more than ten taels of broken silver, several strings of copper coins, and three silver notes of one hundred taels.
At this moment, Chen Heyang felt that the yellow and white thing in his hand weighed more than a thousand gold.
The next day, Ban Hua received an IOU in the amount of three hundred taels. The paper on the IOU was very beautiful. After taking a look at it, Banhua handed the IOU to Ruyi, "Put it away."
This Chen Heyang is an interesting person. He didn't send things back in a pedantic way, nor did he convert the gift she gave into the price and include it in this IOU. He accepted her love and upheld his principles.
"It can be regarded as a person who is upright and not too stubborn," Ban Hua said to Ban Heng who was sitting with him, "Such a person can barely be called a gentleman."
Ban Heng raised his eyebrows: "I thought you have been with Lord Rong for a long time, and your standards for gentlemen have increased."
Ban Hua smiled when he heard the words: "I am a tolerant person."
"Then I really didn't see it." Ban Heng whispered.
Banhua looked at him with a smile and said nothing, he bowed his head to drink tea silently, and said nothing more.
Time entered July, God finally seemed to remember that he hadn't rained recently, and the first dark cloud finally ushered in the sky above the capital.
Banhua got off the horse and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. Is it going to rain?
When the servants guarding the gate of the Rong Mansion saw Banhua, they immediately greeted him warmly: "Young one, I have seen the princess."
"You don't need to be too polite," Ban Hua just stepped into the gate when the big raindrops fell down. She froze for a moment, with a smile on her face.
"It's raining, it's raining!"
The servants in Rong Xia's mansion knew the rules very well, but when the raindrops fell, she still heard some people screaming with joy. It can be seen how many people have been looking forward to this rain, and how long they have been looking forward to it.
Standing under the corridor, she watched the rain turn into a torrential rain in the blink of an eye, and seemed to feel a wave of heat evaporating from the ground.
"Princess, please be careful, don't let the rain splash your skirt." The two maids stood in front of Banhua to prevent the rain from splashing on her.
"No problem," Banhua saw two little maids standing in front of her, and pulled them back, "Be careful, don't get yourself wet."
"Princess..." The two servant girls looked at Ban Hua in a daze, with a touch of emotion in their eyes.
In the rain, Rong Xia came slowly holding an umbrella. He walked up the steps, looked at Ban Hua who was chatting and laughing with a few maids, and hadn't seen him yet, and said softly, "Hua Hua."
"Why are you here?" Ban Hua turned her head and looked at the man holding the umbrella, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, how can you get wet in the rain?"
"I heard that Huahua is coming, and it's raining outside again, how can I still sit still?" Rong Xia raised the umbrella to Banhua's head, and smiled softly at her, "You haven't come for two days."
