Chapter Seventy-Eight: Merit

The second prince has recently been entangled tightly by Ding Meiqian. After the pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info had already decided on the family affair, Ding Meiqian went out less. But as time went on, Ding Meiqian also felt that the second prince was not interested in herself, so she also took the initiative.

"I still have official business, let Miss Ding go back!" The second prince is now hiding in the study except for the previous dynasty, and he is really annoyed by this fiancΓ©e. He slapped the table angrily, "If I knew this was the case, it might as well be Ruan Jingya!"

The second prince still has two sincere feelings for Ruan Jingya, but he wanted to use marriage to plan more, otherwise he would not let Ding Meiqian occupy the position of the concubine.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince of Dingxi are out of the city. "I just solved Ding Meiqian's kraft candy here, and a spy came over there to report the news.

"But what are you going to do?" The crown prince and Dongfang Xu are often together, but the second prince doesn't think much about it.

"Back to His Highness, the group of them was dressed in hunting clothes, with bows and arrows and hunting dogs, and it seemed that they were going to hunt. If the subordinate took the coachman, he did go to the suburbs of Beijing. ”

The second prince sneered undisguisedly, "It's all this time, they still have idle thoughts! Go down, continue to let them continue to stare at." ”

In the hearts of the second prince before, the prince was a useless straw bale, and Dongfang Xu was the abandoned son of the king of Dingxi. If it weren't for the prince who cleverly tricked him twice before, he wouldn't have been so interested in these two people.

In the past few years, the second prince still knows the prince's preferences very well. Every once in a while, they have to sneak out to hunt and race horses, so they didn't pay much attention to their trip. However, Dongfang Xu's arrangement made because he was worried that the second prince would find out the clues did not work, and wasted some thoughts in vain.

When the prince and Dongfang Xu saw this deep-water waterwheel with their own eyes, they were also overjoyed. The prince circled around the waterwheel a few times, not to mention, but also went up to try it himself.

"Miss Ruan, you have made a great contribution!" This is the first official meeting between the prince and Ruan Jingxin. Although I heard Dongfang Xu also say it, he had just passed his ears, and although he had some appreciation, it was not as direct as the feeling that the waterwheel gave him today.

Ruan Jingxin blessed her body slightly, "Your Highness praised it in seconds." The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and the little woman is just doing her best. ”

The prince nodded, he has always been generous, whoever makes him happy, he will make this person happy, so he said, "This waterwheel is bound to not be sold privately, this prince wants to send this drawing directly to the Ministry of Industry and distribute it to various counties, what do you think?"

"It's all up to Your Highness's arrangement. Ruan Jingxin had long expected this to be the case, "The four carpenters who make the waterwheel already have experience, and they have some better ideas. They also have a merit, so the little woman asked for a reward and asked His Highness to give them a future. ”

The prince felt that this little woman was a good person, and with these experienced hands, it was naturally a good thing for him. "Okay, since Miss Ruan has spoken, this prince will give them the status of an official craftsman and go to the Ministry of Industry!"

The official craftsman is the smallest official in the Ministry of Industry. But the meaning is very different. It's like in modern times, if you go to a certain department of the country, you directly become a civil servant. Although the position is not high, the key is that the status in people's hearts is different.

Waiting for Ruan Jingxin to thank her, the prince said again, "This time, your merit can't be a reward of gold and silver." Wait until the first results of the disaster relief are implemented, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"

The prince asked people to take care of this place, and then didn't stay long, and left with Dongfang Xu. He carried the drawings of the fold and the deep-water waterwheel in his arms, and he had to present them to his father as soon as possible, so as not to cause any accidents.

Ruan Jingxin completed a task, and her heart relaxed. She has been living in Zhuangzi for a few days, and her mother is probably a little anxious. So the next morning, she got up and brought some fruits and vegetables from the Zhuangzi and went home.

Xiao Shi was naturally happy to see his daughter come home, "You came back by coincidence, your grandfather's family happened to come over." ”

Ruan Jingxin hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Since they moved out, they have been walking around with their grandfather's family. I always see each other three or five times a month, which is a lot more frequent than twice a year before.

Old Man Xiao asked Ruan Jingxin if she was doing well in Zhuangzi or something, and then directly said the purpose of coming today.

"Your eldest cousin has written. Say it's thanks to your help. This time, I'm afraid that there is hope for promotion. ”

Xiao Shi was also happy when he heard this, and asked, "What is going on?

"I didn't say anything specific, but this time Jia Runsheng captured the leader of the border bandits. Xiao Renqing nodded with satisfaction, "Finally, I didn't disgrace the General's Mansion." ”

Deng glanced at Xiao Renqing, "My son is blue, and he will win glory for the master in the future." ”

Ruan Jingxin likes the temperament of her eldest aunt, so she also said, "This is natural, the eldest cousin himself is brave and resourceful, and he will definitely be extraordinary in the future." ”

Yu, who had not spoken, raised his eyes and glanced at the few people present, and then secretly glanced at Xiao Jiajun and Xiao Jiahan who were standing aside, and couldn't help but cheer Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.

The male of the Xiao family is vigorous, but the Yu family himself did not give birth to a son, so he can't be angry. After her son-in-law was promoted, she was a little reluctant to die in the position of a concubine, and she wanted to work hard.

Now it seems that it must be extremely difficult to be corrected. But it doesn't prevent her from finding a way to reap some benefits first.

First of all, it is necessary to get the power of the master. It is impossible for the Deng family to take the initiative to give in, so she can only create an opportunity for her, so that she is too strong to hand over the power of the housekeeper.

After making up his mind, Yu also smiled. She began to say a few auspicious words with everyone, but no one was disgusted.

Ruan Jingxin has lived two lives, and in addition to not being very good at the relationship between men and women, she is very sensitive to other things and people. She had already discovered Yu's abnormality, but she couldn't figure out what she wanted to do. So I found an opportunity to whisper a few words to my aunt, telling her to be more vigilant.

As soon as the Xiao family's people left, the Xiao family couldn't help but ask Ruan Jingxin, "You really don't know the content of the bag?"

Ruan Jingxin pretended to be stupid to the end, "The master said that you can't watch it." ”

Xiao sighed, "I don't know if your father has also used that trick." Although the last time he wrote to him, it was not difficult to guess his current situation. ”

"Mother, you can rest assured. Since His Majesty has the heart to grasp this piece in his hands, it is impossible to let Daddy fight alone. Ruan Jingxin is very sure of this.
