Luo Tingchen coaxed his sister to eat a peach, a handful of pine nuts, and a piece of pastry, thinking that it was time to eat, and finally said the purpose of Jin Gui's coming: "At noon tomorrow, the prince invited us to have lunch at Yuhu Spring. ”

"We?" Roman thought he had misheard, and asked uncertainly, "You and me?" ”

"Yes, you and me." Luo Tingchen took out the post from his arms, and handed it to Roman as he spoke: "It was said that he was in a hurry last time and neglected us." It just so happens that I'll be free tomorrow, so I'll be able to come back. ”

The Sydney paper used in the Junwang's Mansion is still Sydney, which is simple and snow-white, without any aroma. Open it and take a closer look, the invitation card is clearly written by the prince himself.

The word is strong and elegant, as elegant as the prince, generous.

Just holding this post, Roman has a prince in his eyes. She seemed to see him, sitting upright by the bookcase, spreading out the Sydney note, writing the invitation one by one.

"I don't think it's that simple. The prince supervised the Ministry of Industry and assisted the King of Qin. How many big things are busy all day, and we are little people who float in front of his eyes, and it will be over after it has passed, how can we have the face to let him invite us alone? ”

Seeing that his sister was still holding the invitation and reading, Luo Tingchen stopped and waited.

He thought about the purpose of the prince for an afternoon and had some clues. I'm not afraid to wait for my sister for a while, but I just look at my sister's love for it, and it's a little sad in the end.

Ruo Manman and Lan Lan are noble daughters who grew up in Xuanyibo's mansion, so how can such invitations be accepted two or three times a year. If you see too much, you won't be like now, looking over and over again.

I thought about Manman guarding the door of Chen Mo's house for three days, how much he damaged the face of his daughter's family.

Thinking of Chen Mo's family background and demeanor, Luo Tingchen's heart was like a burning fire, and his heart hurt - no matter what, I have to go up step by step to break a clear path for my sisters.

"The prince must have been convinced of the matter of soliciting his uncle." Roman cherished the invitation and asked his brother solemnly: "Are you ready to deal with it?" ”

Luo Tingchen shook his head: "Little aunt came over, I originally wanted to ask my uncle about his plans." But when Jin Gui left, his little aunt also left. I thought that the matter was very important, so I rode to my uncle's house again, but unfortunately the eldest aunt and the younger uncle were not at home. After probing the words of the little aunt, I realized that the little aunt knew nothing about this. ”

"So coincidentally?" Roman was a little thirsty, and when he got up to serve the teacup, Luo Tingchen had already handed over the teacup: "Mrs. Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Industry made an appointment with the eldest aunt to enjoy the flowers, and the younger uncle had a batch of goods that had a problem at the dock and was busy at the dock. When I arrived at the dock, I said that I would go to Jingzhao Mansion to have tea with Jingzhaoyin. ”

As soon as Roman heard this, he knew that there were Jin Gui's hands and feet in the middle.

In her previous life, when she was on an errand in the palace, she often mixed with Jin Gui and Yin Gui, and she knew their methods very well.

"If the prince doesn't want us to contact the Zhao family first, then you definitely can't get in touch." Roman took a shallow sip of tea, and after the dryness in his mouth disappeared, he looked at his brother with a smile: "Tomorrow's meal, the prince will definitely visit you." ”

"I guessed it."

Luo Tingchen took out the scroll from his arms and copied it to Roman: "It is still raining on the two roads of Jinghu, and the water in the river and lake is barely planted with some food, but when the sun shines, many of them are sunburned. Seeing that the lakes are drying up, I am afraid that this disaster cannot be avoided. ”

Seeing that Roman glanced at ten lines, and quickly finished reading the copy of the palace, Luo Tingchen continued: "The prince wants to win over the Zhao family, and the prince must also want to win over." It's just that I made a direct appointment with my uncle, firstly, the identities are not equal, and secondly, I am afraid that I will not be able to talk, but there is no room for maneuver. ”

Roman nodded: "You are the same age as the prince, and he clearly expressed his appreciation for you at the literary meeting." Invite you to have a meal, and bring me in the middle, and it will become a small gathering of peers.

But if you really want to visit the Zhao family, why don't you let you meet the Zhao family? ”

"Perhaps, today's incident is really a coincidence?" Luo Tingchen frowned: "Or, is it the prince's person?" ”

"Since Jin Gui is here in person, it won't be someone else's hands and feet in the middle." Although Roman's tone was light, he was very determined: "What the prince wants to explore is not the Zhao family, but your brother's attitude." ”

"Me?"

"Don't forget, in my mother's dowry, there are 20 grain-producing villages and five large grain shops. Even if we put these aside, our family's silver, all taken out, can save half of Tanzhou City.

Moreover, our family of women and children is better than the little uncle who is known as the golden abacus. ”

Luo Tingchen fell silent: If the prince really planned to do this, how should he deal with it? This huge family fortune is taken out, what should my mother and sister do?

"Didn't my brother think about it a long time ago?" Roman went over and held his brother's hand, and with a gentle squeeze, he transferred his strength to his brother: "We are fat on the chopping board, and sooner or later someone will target us." Since we have chosen the prince, we must be sincere and unreserved. ”

"I'm afraid ......"

"Don't be afraid of anything." Roman rarely interrupted his brother's words, and looked up at his eyes seriously: "The world is changing rapidly, where can I prevent it?" If the elder brother is timid, Manman will not know how to act. ”

"Okay, I got it."

Luo Tingchen nodded firmly at his sister: "Not only are we difficult, but as soon as the prince stirs up, my uncle's family also has a knife hanging over their heads." Only by climbing up to the prince first can we get through the current crisis and let everyone survive. ”

"Brother just make up his mind, tomorrow, we will all be enthusiastic and sincere. Let the prince really see our hearts. ”

It was not early, and the brother and sister dispersed after finishing their business.

It's just that thinking that he will be able to see the prince tomorrow, Roman, who is tired for a day, has no sleepiness after tossing and turning.

She lay on the bed and thought about Zhou Mei's mannerisms and conversations, then got up and rummaged through the cabinets and picked out satisfactory clothes. Everything was all right, and then I lay back on the bed, and I was angry that I had drunk too much water—

Drinking water at night makes your eyes swollen in the morning.

What to do, what to do?

After tossing all night, when he woke up the next morning, Roman had two obvious dark circles under his eyes.

After Luo Tingchen cleaned up, he deliberately turned around to pick her up, and saw that his sister was sitting in front of the mirror, holding a snow-white chicken in her hand to cover her eyes, and she was suddenly a little surprised: "You haven't slept all night?" ”

Roman ignored him, and the white rooster rolled around his eyes.

"It's not particularly obvious." Luo Tingchen stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at it for a while, seeing that Roman had no intention of stopping, he had to remind him again: "It's time to go, we have something to ask for, it's not good to let the prince wait." ”

“…… Oh! ”

Roman was a little depressed along the way, she was so good that she never lost Zhou Mei's natural appearance, which made the two dark circles funny.

Today, she is going to amaze the prince!

When he saw the gate of Jade Huquan Xiuya, Roman's mood finally improved a little: The dark circles under my eyes are only temporary, and I can take down the prince with my temperament today.

When the little servant introduced Luo Tingchen's brothers and sisters into Songfeng Pavilion, he and the king were sitting on the terrace...... Fishing? Seeing Jin Gui greet him, he only said hello perfunctorily-

"It's still early for dinner, you brothers and sisters have some fun by yourself."

Luo Tingchen is a generous character, and he didn't feel neglected at all. After bowing to the prince from afar, he took his sister to walk around the private room at will.

"There is Wang Xizhi's lonely post on that shelf." Since Roman got out of the carriage, he has been so ladylike that he can't be more ladylike. That word and deed, as soon as he raised his hands and feet, was more poetic than the ladies in the palace.

The sound of the yellow warbler coming out of the valley sounded crisply, Luo Tingchen was shocked, and the king of Hejun, who was 'concentrating' on fishing, also glanced at her unconsciously.

Roman is everyone's best girl, and Jin Gui doesn't think there's anything strange about her performance. only smiled and answered: "This shelf of books is all the treasures of famous families of various dynasties, the prince knows that the prince loves books, and specially instructed to set this room." ”

"Then brother, go read a book." Roman pushed his brother, broke free of his brother's hand, and walked straight towards the prince on the terrace.

The green shirt and soap boots that the prince is wearing today. The emerald green bamboo on the hem of the clothes and the silver edges outlined on the boots vividly depict the elegant temperament of the prince.

She stopped on the edge of the terrace and watched from a distance at the prince who was throwing his fishing rod at random. In addition to being immature, it is really the prince who has been thinking about it for a long time.

"You want to fish?"

Several times, the king of the county felt that Roman was looking at him. But when he looked over, he found that Roman's gaze was over him, looking at the lotus leaves outside.

He didn't want to pay attention to her, but he was a little unwilling: this pool full of green leaves is actually better than him?

Seeing the prince ask her, Roman smiled softly: "I want to see the prince fishing, but I'm afraid that the fish won't dare to take the bait if I get closer." ”

"Not looking at lotus leaves?"

"I'm looking for a fish to see which one will bite the king's hook."

Roman eyebrows are soothing, and his smile is sweet and warm, but what attracts the king of the county is the two dark circles under his eyes - such a steady and polite young lady, I don't want to be Roman. At the moment, there are two dark circles under his eyes, and the ghost elf who will point to Sang scolding Huai is.

Is she so ...... 'contrived' today to please herself?

When I think about it like this, I feel that the green leaves of the pond are quite poetic. The king of Hejun also raised his eyebrows, and smiled at Roman with a gentle and elegant smile: "Come and see, it's okay." ”

If Roman knew that his elaborate costume was judged to be 'contrived' by the king of the county, he would definitely be so angry that he would vomit blood. Where did she do it? Is it not natural enough to dress up, or is it not silky enough?

This is clearly the result of her more than ten years of court education, which is natural and cannot be faulted.

If the king of Hejun knew that she would have such an argument, he would definitely smile with crooked eyebrows and eyes, like the moon shining on the water, and the breeze blowing on his face: "I can't find a flaw, but in my heart, you are not a lady in the painting." ”

……

Of course, they didn't have a chance to hear these inner words. Roman, for example, is now full of joy, and he is sure that the king of the county is attracted by her fairy appearance.

Therefore, she walked over happily, and sat down beside King Hejun with a red sandalwood pestle 'reserved and soft'.

Neither of them spoke again.

He looked lazy and shook the hook, and after a long time, he raised the rod, and there was nothing on the hook. Roman sat on the side obediently with his cheeks on his cheeks, and for a while he looked at the koi fish playing among the lotus leaves, for a while to find out if there were any buds among the lotus leaves, and then turned his head to look at the king of Hejun, and when the king of Hejun also looked over, she smiled sweetly at him.

Such a clean and warm smile bloomed every time, and the heart of the county king was also relaxed, and he couldn't help but show a smiling face.

"Want fish?"

Want you!

He asked her in a low voice to the king of the county, Roman nodded and shook his head quickly: "I want to accompany you to fish." "Just stay with you.

Listening to the voice in his heart, Roman unconsciously blushed. She lowered her head by playing in the water, afraid that the prince would find out his careful thoughts.
