Zhu Xu also saw his fourteen-year-old cousin Qian Qian in the Qian Mansion that day, and suddenly understood what his uncle was thinking.

In other words, this is not the calculation of my uncle alone, but also the imperial grandmother and father.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for my uncle to order someone to send my cousin for no reason.

For this reason, Zhu Heng was a little unhappy.

But he can't not go to the Qian Mansion to visit his uncle because of this upset, these days he has benefited a lot from his uncle's side, and his uncle has told him how to govern a family, extending from the family to a country, many things are the same, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the word food and clothing.

Of course, the food and clothing of so many people is not as simple as planting a little land, collecting some grain and weaving some cloth, but also maintaining the operation of a court, which involves taxes.

Qian Yi has not only dealt with clansmen and businessmen over the years, but also interacted with local officials, and he was also born in the imperial examination before, so his knowledge taught Zhu Heng is more intuitive and practical.

But the uncle is the uncle, the cousin is the cousin, Zhu Heng really didn't want to delay the cousin, but the uncle didn't speak, if he first refused, he was afraid of hurting his uncle's face and his cousin's reputation, and at the same time, he was afraid of hurting this family affection.

After all, the uncle didn't reveal any meaning in this regard, it was his own care, or he wanted to take precautions.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhu Heng came up with a way to take Zeng Rong to see his uncle and cousin.

However, how to talk to Zeng Rong about this matter, Zhu Heng was a little difficult.

Although Zeng Rong still comes to give him acupuncture on time these days, he comes and goes every time, rarely staying, let alone chatting with him like before, eating with him, shooting arrows, listening to the wind, watching the rain with him, and watching the sunset with him.

For this reason, Zhu Heng didn't complain, but Zeng Rong said that she came out of the Shanggong Bureau, and Aunt Qin took a lot of care of her, but she was affected by the gold leaf thread.

Now that it's so easy to take this errand, how can she leave it alone when she asks for it?

Zhu Heng admitted that Zeng Rong's words had some truth, but he also understood that this was not the real reason, nor was it the point.

The point is that the uncle knew Zeng Rong's identity, Zeng Rong couldn't disguise himself as a man to accompany Zhu Heng, and his uncle was a person who paid great attention to rules and etiquette and respect, Zeng Rong accompanied him to see his uncle a few times, and obviously felt that he was excluded and left out of the cold, so a few times later, she didn't go at all, or went out of the palace with him, the two of them did their own thing, he went to see his uncle, and she went home or went to see the doctor.

Now that the Qian Mansion has another cousin, there is no need to ask to know that Zeng Rong is even more reluctant to show up.

Zeng Rong didn't know what Zhu Heng was thinking.

On this day, she finished Zhu Heng's acupuncture, thinking about visiting Zheng Jiao, Zheng Jiao's embroidery skills are also good, and she came from the south, Zeng Rong has seen the troublesome flying dragon purse she embroidered, and a little gold thread is also used on it.

This will also hit a bottleneck, thinking of looking for her to check it to see if there is any inspiration or breakthrough, so after pulling out the needle for Zhu Heng, Zeng Rong talked about leaving.

"Can you stay for dinner today?" Zhu Heng looked at her expectantly.

Zeng Rong glanced at the hourglass in the corner, "There is still more than half an hour to eat, no, I still have something to do, I have to go to Zheng Jiao to study acupuncture." ”

"How long has it been since you've eaten with me?" Zhu Heng grabbed Zeng Rong's sleeve, and the expectation on his face instantly turned into grievance.

Zeng Rong read his grievances, deliberately held back his laughter, and blinked his eyes, "Is there one?" Why do I think I accompanied you to see my uncle a few days ago, and we had a meal together. ”

"A few days ago, it was half a month. Besides, I told you to sit down and eat with us that day, but you had to stand and serve the meal, and you were not obedient at all. Zhu Heng complained.

Zeng Rong was a little moved when he heard this and remembered the events of that day, and sat down beside him, "Ah Heng, I understand your intentions, but we are different after all, I am just a little female official." In other words, outside, I am just a palace maid by your side, this is an indisputable fact, there are some conventional rules, which should be followed or observed. ”

"I don't care, you stay for dinner today, I'll have something to say to you later." Zhu Heng took an inch and grabbed Zeng Rong's little hand.

Zeng Rong twitched and didn't pull it out, so he had to say: "Okay, okay, you let go first, let's talk about it." ”

"Don't let it go, let it go and you'll run away." Zhu Heng mustered up the courage so easily, how could he let go easily?

"What the hell is going on?" Zeng Rong realized that something was wrong with Zhu Heng.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want you to accompany me to Qian's house tomorrow morning." After Zhu Heng finished speaking, he tilted his head and stared at Zeng Rong's eyes.

"Tomorrow..." Zeng Rong was thinking about what reason he should find to refuse, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the expectation and small meaning in Zhu Heng's eyes, and she couldn't say those words.

"Why do you have to go?" Zeng Rong asked softly.

Since the last time she had an unpleasant time in the Qian Mansion, Zhu Heng did not ask her to go to the Qian family again, and the two tacitly did not mention the matter.

But this time Zhu Heng brought it up so carefully, there must have been some last resort.

"I said yes, but don't be angry." Zhu Heng put forward a condition.

Zeng Rong nodded.

Only then did Zhu Heng say that Qian Qian was shallow.

"Don't worry, I really don't have any ideas. The problem is that it was the first time we met, and they didn't say anything, and if I refused directly, I was afraid that I would misunderstand them. But I'm worried that when they really come up, I will refuse again, and I'm afraid of hurting this family relationship, so I thought I'd take you there directly, and my uncle and cousin should be able to understand it. Zhu Heng said while paying attention to Zeng Rong's face, he was observing Zeng Rong's expression.

"The last time my uncle entered the palace, he should have understood, but they still do this, and you can understand the reason without me telling you." Zeng Rong pondered for a moment and said.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that she is from a low background and cannot marry Zhu Heng as a wife, so whether it is the queen mother or this uncle, she will ignore her existence.

It's just that she doesn't understand, why did the Qian family follow to intervene in this foot, and they forgot the lessons of the first queen so quickly?

Or is it that they are sure that Zhu Heng has half of the Qian family's blood, so they will not succumb to this little girl.

Is that really the case?

Zeng Rong also does not know.

But she knew one thing, if she had a choice, she would never want to get involved in Zhu Heng's family affairs, even if she had to stay by his side, she would rather be a female official.

Thinking of this, Zeng Rong felt that it was necessary for him to talk to Zhu Heng.
