Rong Xia, who was robbed as a commodity, was entertaining guests at home. Because he was still in the mourning period, officials were not allowed to drink and have fun, so he treated the guests with two cups of tea.

The guest's status is not low either. He is Yao Peiji, the Minister of Household Affairs and an important official in the court.

Yao Peiji is an avid lover of calligraphy and painting, so he has a very fond impression of Rong Xia. He and Rong Xia are usually brothers and don't mind at all the age difference between the two of them. In fact, if he could get a painting of Rong Xia's calligraphy, he would be willing to call him Rong Xia's brother.

"Good painting, good artistic conception," Yao Peiji looked at the sketch of a cat playing with flowers hanging on the wall, his cheeks turned red with excitement, and he said to Rong Xia, "My uncle's painting skills have improved again, this kitten looks like It seems like it's alive. But why is there a peony tied on this cat's head?"

Rong Xia smiled and said, "This is just a little fun for me."

"When painting follows your heart, it becomes more spiritual. It should be like this, it should be like this." Yao Peiji caressed his palms and suddenly felt that this peony was the finishing touch, making the cat even more naive and cute, and it also made the cat look more innocent. With a little willfulness.

Cats should be more willful to be cute.

Yao Peiji took Rong Xia and talked about painting for a long time, and then said with emotion: "My uncle is so talented, I don't know what kind of woman in the world can be worthy of you."

Rong Xia smiled and said nothing, but offered Yao Peiji a cup of tea.

"I see that the second daughter of Mr. Shi's residence is beautiful, intelligent, and extremely talented. She is a good match for you." Yao Peiji took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I wonder if uncle has this intention?"

A look of thought appeared on Rong Xia's face, and after a while he said: "Master Yao is talking about the two thousand gold in Prime Minister Shi's mansion?"

"It's him," Yao Peiji said. "My wife often mentions this daughter. I suddenly thought yesterday that this girl is a perfect match for you."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Yao," Rong Xia stood up and bowed to Yao Peiji, saying apologetically, "To be honest with Mr. Yao, I have already decided on a marriage a few days ago, but now I am the eldest princess. It is not appropriate to mention this matter during the period of filial piety, so I ask Lord Yao to keep it a secret for me."

"Wha, what?" Yao Peiji looked at Rong Xia in surprise. Rong Langjun was actually engaged. Why didn't any news come out? Fortunately, he is a man of elegant character. When he saw what Rong Xia said, he didn't ask any further, "In that case, I wish Uncle Rong and your future wife a long-lasting love."

"Thank you Master Yao for your kind words," Rong Xia stood up and saluted Yao Peiji solemnly.

Seeing Rong Xia's rosy face and bright smile, Yao Peiji sighed in his heart. It seemed that Uncle Rong really loved his fiancée, otherwise he wouldn't be smiling so comfortably. It was a pity that the Shi family's wish could not be realized, so he went to the Shi family for a visit.

Rong Xia saw that Yao Peiji wanted to leave, and after repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, Rong Xia sent him to the main door. After knowing that Yao Peiji's carriage had left, he asked the concierge to close the door.

In the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Shi Jin was recuperating at home. When he heard the boy next to his father asking him to go wait for guests, he put on a half-worn plain robe and followed the boy out. . Previously, because of the assassination of the eldest princess, he, as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, was punished fifty pieces of bread. Fortunately, he was the son of the right prime minister, and the person who carried out the execution had a sense of proportion, so his injuries looked serious, but in fact they did not hurt his muscles and bones. On the other hand, the commander who fought against him fifty times is more serious. It is said that he can't even get out of bed now, and he doesn't know if he can keep his position as the commander of the Imperial Guard.

When he arrived at the main hall of the main house, he saw that the person coming was Yao Peiji. He guessed what was going on and met Yao Peiji.

Shi Chonghai originally did not want his daughter to marry Rong Xia, but seeing that Rong Xia was becoming more and more famous among scholars, was highly valued by the emperor, and was becoming more and more powerful in the court, he felt that it would be a good idea for his daughter to marry him. s Choice. However, throughout the ages, men have always proposed to women, but there is no girl who would rush to ask the man if he would marry her, so he thought about it and asked Yao Peiji to help him find out.

"I just saw a picture of a cat play at Uncle Rong's house. It was very interesting." Yao Peiji had already drank a lot of tea at Rong Xia's house. When he arrived at the Prime Minister's house, he only drank a little tea. He touched the corner of his lips and then put it down, "I said one more thing today and asked about Uncle Rong's marriage."

Yao Peiji never mentioned that the Shi family asked him to ask, but said that he was too talkative, which saved the face of the Shi family.

"Who would have known that this uncle is a person who doesn't understand amorous feelings and doesn't care at all about the relationship between men and women." Yao Peiji shook his head and sighed, "I don't know what the young people today think, Du Er There are more than ten people. When I was his age, the children were already running all over the floor."

Shi Jin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Uncle Rong is unwilling?"

Yao Peiji looked at Shi Jin with a smile: "No, he just doesn't want to propose marriage." The implication is that I did what your family asked me to do, but they didn't have the intention, and you didn't want to do it either. Just take a break.

Shi Jin couldn't help but frowned as he didn't know what he thought of.

When Shi Chonghai heard this, he smiled and said: "My relatives like to live a free and undisciplined life, and without the supervision of the elders in the family, they naturally do not want to live a married life."

A man who just lost his father and mother is actually qualified to be picky about his daughter. It’s really disrespectful!

Yao Peiji pretended not to hear the ridicule in Shi Chonghai's words. After sitting in the Shi family for a while, he stood up and left. The person who saw him off was the Shi family housekeeper.

After getting on the carriage, Yao Peiji was humming a tune while shaking his head, and seemed to be in a very good mood. In the eyes of others, he was a courtier who was vassal to Shi Chonghai. Even he originally thought so. But this does not mean that he likes the Shi family using him as an errand boy. There are younger generations at home, and it is not a busy time with many guests, but the Shi family asks a servant to send him out. It is really contemptuous.

Rong Xia was so proud in front of the emperor that she personally escorted him out. Is the Shi family really so shameless that they couldn't even walk him a few steps away?

Scholars pay great attention to etiquette. If others' etiquette is not up to standard, for scholars, it is an offense.

Yao Peiji finally has opinions on the Shi family.

"Do you really think your daughter is a fairy, marrying whoever you like?"

Yao Peiji snorted, maintaining a strangely good mood, and left the Shi family's territory.

Ban Huai returned home with a speechless expression on his face. He called his wife and children to him. After waving away all the servants, he looked at the other three people at home with a serious face.

"Husband, what happened?" Seeing Ban Huai's strange expression, Mrs. Yin hesitated and asked, "The emperor regrets it and doesn't want to give you the title of Duke?"

Ban Huai shook his head.

"Did the Second Prince offend you again?" Ban Heng stretched his neck and approached Ban Huai, "Or did he meet some strange person on the road?"

Ban Huai still shook his head.

When Banhua saw his father looking at her, he extended his index finger to the tip of his nose: "Is it related to me?"

Ban Huai nodded.

Banhua slapped the table: "Who is talking bad about me?"

Ban Huai wiped his face: "Good girl, can we think of something good?"

"Then the expression on your face doesn't seem like something good has happened," Banhua took a deep breath and lowered her head to drink tea, "Just tell me, I can bear it."

"Uncle Rong asked the emperor to act as a matchmaker for him. He wants to marry you."

"Ahem, cough, cough!" Banhua choked on the tip of her throat with a sip of tea, and even choked with tears. The whole family was so frightened that they beat their backs and held handkerchiefs.

"I, I'm fine," Banhua patted her chest and looked at Ban Huai with tears in her eyes, "Uncle Rong, is he blind?"

Ban Huai shrugged: "I also want to know this question."

"Speak nicely, what nonsense are you two talking about!" Yin raised her eyebrows, "My daughter is so beautiful, it would not be surprising if anyone comes to marry her. An uncle is nothing."

Ban Heng hummed and said, "But he is Rong Xia. How many girls in the capital want to marry him."

"What's wrong with Rong Xia? So what if his name is Rong Wuxia?" Yin slapped the table, "Besides, what's so good about a man like this who is favored by countless women? What if he's too interested?"

"Then the man that my sister is interested in, which one is not outstanding in appearance and is cared about by countless women," Ban Heng said in a low voice against Yin's eyes, "If my sister can really marry Rong Xia, at least Rong Xia will be good. Xia is a decent man. Even if our family falls into decline in the future, he will not treat my sister harshly because of this, so I can rest assured."

When Yin heard this, she immediately fell silent.

They are not sure what will happen in five years. But Huahua didn't seem to be married in the dream, and she was no longer the country king.

No, no!

Yin suddenly raised her head and looked at Banhua: "What title did you say you were in the dream?"

"Township Lord." Banhua answered affirmatively, because she remembered clearly that a **** came to their house to announce that he was depriving her father of the title of Marquis, her mother's imperial status, and her title of Countryside Lord.

"But you are now the princess, and your father has also become the Duke of the country," Yin's voice became very deep, "Reality... is different from your dream."

"All this..." Ban Heng recalled carefully, "it seems to have started after my sister whipped Shen Yu a few times in the street."

"You mean to say that in the dream I didn't end up well because I wasn't unruly enough?" Banhua frowned, "This seems a bit unjustifiable."

Ban Huai looked helplessly at the pair of children: "How can things be as simple as you think? Your dream was confusing, and the experience was even more confusing. The most important point is that you didn't even know who rebelled in the end. I don’t know, it’s too difficult to infer reality based on dreams. Maybe you are the princess now, but later you committed something and you were demoted to the title of village prince. What happened to me and I became a marquis again? ”

"That's right," Ban Hua agreed. "You guys think... is it possible that the Shi family rebelled? Shi Jin, the eldest son of the Shi family, seems to like wearing Xuanyi, and their family is now extremely powerful. , if you want to rebel, it is also possible."

The four members of the Ban family fell into deep thought. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that the Shi family did have this suspicion.

"My lord, Cheng Anbo is asking for an audience."

The housekeeper's voice sounded in the yard, and the four members of the Ban family looked at each other. Is the hot commodity who wants to be their son-in-law here?

To see or not to see, that is the question.
