"The kindness is hard to turn down," Zhang Ning said, "My brother agreed, and I am too embarrassed to say no."
The system doesn't want to talk to him.
The carriage is very spacious, and there seems to be a faint smell of medicine in the carriage.
Zhong Liyuan sat in the innermost part of the carriage, Zhang Ning and Wei Shengbai sat on both sides.
"I haven't been free since I entered Beijing, and I haven't visited the Duke's Mansion yet," Zhong Liyuan asked casually without pronouncing himself, "Is General Weisheng still in good health?"
Wei Shengbai replied: "General Xie is concerned, my father is fine."
"I heard that you are now working in the Gale Wind Camp, and you are already the deputy commander," Zhong Liyuan said, "You are really young and promising."
Wei Shengbai hurriedly said: "The general is absurd."
Zhong Liyuan looked sideways at Zhang Ning again, and asked, "What about the young master?"
Zhang Ning answered as much as possible to sound self-motivated: "Of course I'm not as good as my brother, and I'm still studying with my husband." In my spare time, I just played polo, played cards, and watched operas with others...trying to mix in It's all in the dude.
If the system had eyes, it would definitely give him a blank look, obviously it hides behind the book every day to read the storybook!
Zhong Liyuan nodded after hearing this, as if he was really just an uncle who cared about his younger generation.
He didn't speak anymore, and there was no sound in the car, and the noise on the street could be faintly heard from outside the carriage.
Zhang Ning quietly went to look at Zhong Liyuan's legs. The wooden wheelchair had gone somewhere. Zhong Liyuan didn't wear a heavy cloak in the car, but sat leaning against the cushion, with a blanket covering his legs.
The interior of the car is fully furnished, and the warmth makes people relax, but Zhong Liyuan sits quietly, with a tall and straight figure. Although his face is pale, he doesn't look sick at all. A sharp sword.
"Isn't he a general? Does he really have a leg problem?" Zhang Ning asked the system, "Besides, Zhong Liyuan is ten years older than the heroine, right? Is uncle-nephew romance popular now?"
The system said vaguely: "Who knows, anyway, except you, everyone may be the hero."
Zhang Ning: "Oh."
Zhang Ning asked again: "System, can a male supporting role have a relationship line?"
System: "...cannot."
"Why?" Zhang Ning said, "Then there are still novels with supporting characters and supporting characters together."
System: "Don't you all have future boyfriends?"
"I haven't confessed yet, and he doesn't like it..." Zhang Ning's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he quickly argued with the system: "The future can be changed!"
system:"……"
"The heroine's relationship line is the most important." The system sighed silently, and said lightly, "After the task is completed, you can stay in this world for a while."
Zhang Ning: "Yeah!"
Maybe it was because his peeking was too obvious, Zhang Ning heard his elder brother cough deliberately, and looked up to see Wei Sheng's white reproachful eyes.
The behavior just now was really rude, Zhang Ning remembered what Wei Shengbai had said to him before, immediately withdrew his eyes, and sat upright.
Wei Shengbai said in a low voice: "Forgive me, General, Ah Shu is young..."
"No problem." As soon as Zhong Liyuan raised his hand, his expression was calm, he didn't care, and he didn't mention anything. He even said to them when they got out of the car and left: "I have limited mobility, and I will visit Huguo another day." male."
After Zhong Liyuan's carriage left, Wei Shengbai heaved a sigh of relief, turned back to Zhang Ning and said, "You were too rude just now, if someone else stared like this—"
He stopped talking, and sighed again: "Forget it, I probably won't meet again in the future."
ah?Why, why can't I touch it?
Zhang Ning asked: "Why? Didn't he say he would come to visit father?"
"It's just polite words." Wei Shengbai said: "General Zhongli went to the border at the age of 13, and in three years he took down Yanshan Pass, which the late emperor hadn't regained for several years. My father worked with him when he inspected northern Xinjiang before. Some friends, but it's a pity that the general..."
Wei Shengbai lowered his voice: "A year ago he accidentally broke his legs, so he could no longer mount a horse and kill the enemy. Since then, the general has become gloomy, slaughtering the captives who surrendered overnight, and even killing the enemy." For the guards who have followed me for many years."
Zhang Ning was slightly startled, such a tragic experience, either the hero or the villain's configuration!
"The Holy Majesty recalled his military exploits and recalled him to the capital. The general is still young, withdrawn and rumored to be bloodthirsty. At present, no one in the court is on good terms with him."
Wei Shengbai said again: "Such a person has nothing to do with our family, if you don't meet him, just let it go, if you meet him someday, just do a good job as a junior."
Zhang Ning nodded in agreement, but he thought in his heart that he would go out every day in the future, and wander around the general's mansion if he had nothing to do.
Baohui Pavilion is the most famous jewelry shop in the capital, and the luxurious jewelry and hair accessories inside are not something ordinary people can afford.
Baili Sihan didn't go to pick jewelry this time, as soon as she stepped into the shop, the shopkeeper greeted her, "Miss, are you here to deliver the blueprints?"
"Well," Baili Sihan took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to the shopkeeper, on which were carefully traced patterns with a pen: "There are three sets of heads, five gold hairpins, and a phoenix crown."
The shopkeeper accepted it with a smile, and gave her a small bag of heavy money, but said: "Hey, girl, would you like to draw another hairpin?"
Seeing that Baili Sihan frowned, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The wages are calculated separately. The entrusting son said that he is willing to give the girl other rewards."
The shopkeeper opened the box in his hand, and found a ruby as red as pigeon blood.
Zhang Ning opened the folding fan to cover his face, walked straight to the counter, and asked in a low voice, "Have you got anything?"
"Yes, yes," the store manager nodded and said, "The lady said that she will send the drawings in three days."
"Okay." Zhang Ning took out the banknote from his pocket and handed it to the store manager: "This is the reward." He took out some broken silver and said, "This is for you."
Just by spreading the word, I got a lot of money for nothing. The shop owner smiled and said, "Hey, thank you, my lord."
Zhang Ning fanned his folding fan refreshedly, and stepped across the threshold: "It's hard to get out, let's take a stroll."
System: "Who played polo the day before yesterday?"
"Tsk, playing polo is playing polo, it's a sport," Zhang Ning said, "How can it be considered a game?"
Zhang Ning walked all the way, and finally turned into a teahouse, where he ordered a lot of tea and snacks.
He was sitting on the second floor happily listening to the storytelling below, when suddenly there was a person sitting directly opposite him.
"Bai, Miss Baili!" Zhang Ning immediately put down the melon seeds in his hand, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence."
"Unfortunately," Baili Sihan poured himself a cup of tea unceremoniously, and said, "Young Master Weisheng, I followed you all the way from Baohui Pavilion."
She put the brocade box on the table and opened it, and inside was the ruby given to her by the owner of Baohui Pavilion.
"Although the gemstone is good, it is useless in my hands. Young Master Weisheng, you should take it back yourself."
Zhang Ning squeezed the palm of his hand and said, "What do you mean, girl, I..."
Baili Sihan interrupted him: "I also want to ask what the little prince Weisheng means."
It means I want to give you money for nothing!You don't even charge for this!
Although Baili Sihan has regained the title of daughter-in-law now, the economy is still controlled by the prime minister's mansion.The dowry left by her mother consisted of shops and farmland, which had not been taken care of before, resulting in poor income and difficulty in earning income.
Finally, she thought of a way.Relying on the memories of his previous life, Baili Sihan recalled the hairstyles and jewelry that would be popular in the future, drew them into blueprints one by one, and sold them to jewelry shops, earning a lot of money.
After Zhang Ning found out, he first bought decorations such as pearls and gems, and then quietly borrowed the owner's hand to stuff them for Baili Sihan.
But the heroine is not stupid, she found someone helping her a few times.
Zhang Ning coughed dryly and said, "I know the girl's difficulty, I am willing to cooperate with the girl."
"I'll be the craftsman who makes jewelry, and the girl will design the blueprints, and the profit will be four or six cents, how about it?"
Baili Sihan remained silent.
Zhang Ning gritted his teeth: "Sanqi, you are seven and I am three." It can't be lowered, if it is lowered, I will almost sell the Duke Huguo's mansion!
Baili Sihan asked: "Why is Mr. Weisheng willing to help me?"
Helping you is helping myself. Once the world line is completed, I can go home.
"Naturally, I have taken a fancy to the girl's business acumen." Zhang Ning pretended to tap the wooden table lightly, and said, "I am not talented, I am not as good as my brother in martial arts, and I am incompetent in studying and exams, so I want to do business."
He pushed back the brocade box on the table again, and said in a low voice: "If the girl is willing to cooperate with me, this ruby will be regarded as a piece of my heart, please accept it."
Baili Sihan thought for a while, and finally accepted the box.
Zhang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The craftsmen will start working in a few days. If you have any requests, please ask."
Baili Sihan pondered slightly, and then said: "I hope that Mr. Weisheng will keep quiet."
Zhang Ning said, "Of course not."
The Huguogong family are all military officers, but they still look down on the way of doing business. If the family members know that Zhang Ning does these things, his monthly salary will definitely be cut off.
Watching Baili Sihan leave, Zhang Ning was not in the mood for tea anymore, so he tidied things up hastily, and when he was about to pay and leave, he suddenly realized that something seemed missing.
Zhang Ning touched his sleeves and waist repeatedly: "Where is my purse?"
System: "Didn't you just give it all to the boss of Baohui Pavilion?"
"That's right, I forgot." Zhang Ning was stunned, "I brought so much when I went out today, and I gave it to him."
System: ...I'm afraid this is not a fool.
"It's over, I didn't have anyone follow me today, and it's too late to go back to get the money," Zhang Ning said, "What should I do now?"
This teahouse came here on a whim by Zhang Ning. He had never been there before, and I don't know if the owner of the teahouse would let him keep the account...
"Young Master Weisheng," a familiar guard with a knife stopped him, bowed his head and said, "General, please go upstairs and sit down."
Zhang Ning recognized him, he seemed to be the guard beside Zhongliyuan, he blinked, and asked uncertainly: "General Zhongli invited me upstairs?"
Meng Wei said, "Yes."
Zhang Ning looked up and looked upstairs, hesitant.
The system didn't really want him to go, but still asked: "Why are you hesitating, don't you always want to see him?"
"I want to see his face." Zhang Ning emphasized, and then sighed: "Besides, I don't bring money when I come out to drink tea. It's too embarrassing to spread the news..."
But Meng Wei called the owner of the teahouse and said, "These are recorded in General Zhongli's account."
"He's good-looking, and rich and powerful," Zhang Ning said, "I like it."
System: "Don't forget, he is also one of the male lead candidates."
Zhang Ning said: "Do you think I will let a man who looks like my future boyfriend go for a relationship with the heroine?"
system:"?"
The system was almost garbled: "What do you mean, explain clearly."
"I'm just kidding," Zhang Ning sighed, and said, "It's because of his resemblance that I want to see him...but I'm afraid to meet him."
Although Zhang Ning had been playing tricks on him before, he still surprised the system when he said it so bluntly.
The system also doesn't understand what it means to "want to see but dare not". People's emotions are so complicated that it is not something that an inexperienced system like it can know.
Zhang Ning: "Of course, I'd be happier to see you hahahaha."
System: "..." A waste of emotion.
Zhang Ning followed Meng Wei up to the third floor.
The private rooms on the third floor are different from the private rooms on the second floor. The private rooms are separated by thin bead curtains. The decoration is more elegant and quieter than downstairs.
Meng Wei lifted the bead curtain, let Zhang Ning in alone, and guarded outside.
Zhong Liyuan was sitting inside drinking tea, his face was not so pale today, his black hair was tied up, and he looked much better.
Seeing Zhang Ning coming, he pointed to the top chair beside him: "Come, sit."
Zhang Ning walked over and sat down beside him.
"I went to the Duke's Mansion today, and chatted with your father for a while, but I didn't see you." Zhong Liyuan held the teacup lightly with his fingertips, and said, "So I was listening to a book here."
Zhang Ning answered carefully: "I have nothing to do today, so I went out for a stroll."
"En." Zhong Liyuan nodded slightly, then looked at the storyteller downstairs, and suddenly said, "What drama is this talking about?"
"Uh..." Zhang Ning didn't answer, he just listened to the beginning, and then the heroine came, so he couldn't remember anything.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhong Liyuan said calmly, "The one who talked to you just now is the daughter of Prime Minister Baili's family?"
Zhang Ning was startled, raised his head to follow his line of sight, and found that the seat where he was sitting just now was facing the third floor, with a clear view.
So he saw it just now?
Zhang Ning could only nod his head and answer: "...Yes."
Zhong Liyuan suddenly turned his head to look at him, his thick black eyes were condensed: "You started thinking about marriage before your brother even talked about marriage?"
Zhang Ning: "?"
"No!" Zhang Ning shook his head again and again, "I just... just happened to meet her and chat with her for a while."
The way he hurriedly explained did not seem to be fake, and the way he opened his eyes was a bit more youthful.Zhong Liyuan didn't say whether he believed it or not, he lowered his eyes gloomyly and took a sip of tea.
Zhang Ning remembered that his elder brother said that General Zhongli was "moody", and regretted that he came up even more.
"I forgot about his character design. Has he actually fallen in love with the heroine, and then thought I was an eyesore?" Zhang Ning was a little anxious, and said, "Isn't it true for ordinary domineering old sayings, 'Dare to covet me? My people, it depends on whether you are worthy or not!'."
System: "You think too much, his favorability for the heroine is 0, which is lower than other candidates for the heroine."
"Oh." Zhang Ning said calmly, "That means I still have hope."
system:"……"
"Meng Wei." Zhong Liyuan suddenly said, and the guard at the door came in immediately: "General."
"Give those books on Art of War to Young Master Weisheng." Zhong Liyuan said, "And the jade I brought."
He turned to Zhang Ning and said, "Your father said that you are studying the art of war. I wanted to give you a few volumes, but I went to the mansion today but it was not a coincidence. I wanted to send it another day, but I happened to meet you here."
Zhang Ning stared at the five thick volumes in silence, then forced a smile: "Thank you, General, I will definitely study them carefully."
"And this." Zhong Liyuan opened a royal blue silk brocade box, and said, "I heard that you have recently become obsessed with jade jewelry. This is the Xiuyan jade from northern Xinjiang. I got a piece early and kept it in the warehouse. .”
The Xiuyu lying in the brocade box is warm and delicate, with a shiny luster, about the size of half a palm. Even if Zhang Ning doesn't understand jade, he can feel that it is very valuable when he looks at it. He rejects it without thinking, but he listens Zhong Liyuan ordered: "Meng Wei, send someone to send young master Weisheng back to the residence."
"He asked me about my marriage and gave me something. What does that mean?" Zhang Ning took it out of context and said, "Is this the ancient process of marriage negotiation?"
System: "You think too much."
Zhang Ning was sent back to Duke Huguo's mansion with his heavy books on the art of war and jade. He had just put the jade in the cabinet when he suddenly remembered something.
Duke Hu doesn't like business affairs, Zhang Ning was afraid of being found out, and never told them that he spent all his money on jewelry, so how could Zhong Liyuan know that he was buying jade and jewelry?
The system doesn't want to talk to him.
The carriage is very spacious, and there seems to be a faint smell of medicine in the carriage.
Zhong Liyuan sat in the innermost part of the carriage, Zhang Ning and Wei Shengbai sat on both sides.
"I haven't been free since I entered Beijing, and I haven't visited the Duke's Mansion yet," Zhong Liyuan asked casually without pronouncing himself, "Is General Weisheng still in good health?"
Wei Shengbai replied: "General Xie is concerned, my father is fine."
"I heard that you are now working in the Gale Wind Camp, and you are already the deputy commander," Zhong Liyuan said, "You are really young and promising."
Wei Shengbai hurriedly said: "The general is absurd."
Zhong Liyuan looked sideways at Zhang Ning again, and asked, "What about the young master?"
Zhang Ning answered as much as possible to sound self-motivated: "Of course I'm not as good as my brother, and I'm still studying with my husband." In my spare time, I just played polo, played cards, and watched operas with others...trying to mix in It's all in the dude.
If the system had eyes, it would definitely give him a blank look, obviously it hides behind the book every day to read the storybook!
Zhong Liyuan nodded after hearing this, as if he was really just an uncle who cared about his younger generation.
He didn't speak anymore, and there was no sound in the car, and the noise on the street could be faintly heard from outside the carriage.
Zhang Ning quietly went to look at Zhong Liyuan's legs. The wooden wheelchair had gone somewhere. Zhong Liyuan didn't wear a heavy cloak in the car, but sat leaning against the cushion, with a blanket covering his legs.
The interior of the car is fully furnished, and the warmth makes people relax, but Zhong Liyuan sits quietly, with a tall and straight figure. Although his face is pale, he doesn't look sick at all. A sharp sword.
"Isn't he a general? Does he really have a leg problem?" Zhang Ning asked the system, "Besides, Zhong Liyuan is ten years older than the heroine, right? Is uncle-nephew romance popular now?"

"Give those books on Art of War to Young Master Weisheng." Zhong Liyuan said, "And the jade I brought."
He turned to Zhang Ning and said, "Your father said that you are studying the art of war. I wanted to give you a few volumes, but I went to the mansion today but it was not a coincidence. I wanted to send it another day, but I happened to meet you here."
Zhang Ning stared at the five thick volumes in silence, then forced a smile: "Thank you, General, I will definitely study them carefully."
"And this." Zhong Liyuan opened a royal blue silk brocade box, and said, "I heard that you have recently become obsessed with jade jewelry. This is the Xiuyan jade from northern Xinjiang. I got a piece early and kept it in the warehouse. .”
The Xiuyu lying in the brocade box is warm and delicate, with a shiny luster, about the size of half a palm. Even if Zhang Ning doesn't understand jade, he can feel that it is very valuable when he looks at it. He rejects it without thinking, but he listens Zhong Liyuan ordered: "Meng Wei, send someone to send young master Weisheng back to the residence."
"He asked me about my marriage and gave me something. What does that mean?" Zhang Ning took it out of context and said, "Is this the ancient process of marriage negotiation?"
System: "You think too much."
Zhang Ning was sent back to Duke Huguo's mansion with his heavy books on the art of war and jade. He had just put the jade in the cabinet when he suddenly remembered something.
Duke Hu doesn't like business affairs, Zhang Ning was afraid of being found out, and never told them that he spent all his money on jewelry, so how could Zhong Liyuan know that he was buying jade and jewelry?
