Shi Jingyang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has told me more than once that he hopes that Chunwei will be able to select outstanding talents who can understand the general trend of the world.
In the future, these people will be able to serve the court and benefit the people."
The prince put down the cup in his hand and nodded with a smile, "So, don't pay attention to the little tricks of the third child."
Shi Jingyang leaned forward and said: "Yes, I understand. Even if you ignore it, you still need to be watched and aware of it."
The prince nodded, "You can handle these matters." After saying that, the prince raised his voice and shouted: "Here comes someone."
Fu'an came in and said, "Your Highness!"
The prince ordered: "Present the gift box."
Fu'an turned around and gave orders. After a while, a chamberlain came in with a brocade box and opened it. Shi Jingyang saw that there was a ingot of fine black gold ink inside the brocade box.
The prince said to Shi Jingyang: "Qing'an passed this thing to Jiang Si, Gu congratulated him on winning the crown, and asked him to express his condolences and accept it! This is Gu's wishes."
Shi Jingyang bowed down and took the brocade box from the waiter's hand.
Coming out of Donghua Gate, Qingshan asked: "Master, where are we going?"
Shi Jingyang said: "Go back home!"
When Shi Jingyang's car arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, the concierge saw it, stepped forward and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis wants you to meet him in the study."
Shi Jingyang nodded and said, "I understand."
After Shi Jingyang got off the car, he went straight to Master Hou's outer study.
When the Marquis saw him coming in, he glanced at Guanshi He beside him. Guanshi He understood and left with his servants.
The Marquis asked: "Have you been to the East Palace?"
Shi Jingyang leaned forward and responded: "Yes, I just came back from the East Palace. My father thought that his son was temporarily blinded, so he transferred his son out of the capital?"
The Marquis looked at Shi Jingyang intently and said angrily: "You unfilial son, are you blaming me? Haven't you deceived your mind and made it rare for me to wrongly accuse you?"
Shi Jingyang leaned forward and said: "My son doesn't dare. My son is just fulfilling his grandfather's promise and abiding by the engagement..."
Before Shi Jingyang could finish speaking, the Marquis slammed the table and interrupted him, "There is no engagement now."
Shi Jingyang: "..."
The Marquis glanced at Shi Jingyang and softened his voice, "I haven't told your mother about this yet. You should know your mother's attitude towards your marriage. If you want to protect the Ning family brothers and sisters, then follow my arrangements.
, go to Gyeonggi Camp first."
Shi Jingyang said without giving up: "The engagement is in my heart. From the moment I knew it existed, it has always been there and will not change.
The Ning family brothers and sisters, one is my like-minded classmate, and the other is the person I will cherish for the rest of my life. Whoever dares to hurt them in the slightest will be my enemy. I will go to the Gyeonggi camp, and before I go, I will go to Mingyuan first
Propose marriage."
"You..." Mr. Hou glared at Shi Jingyang. "Kneel down for me!"
"Plop!" Shi Jingyang knelt straight on the ground and met the Marquis' gaze without giving in at all.
The Marquis knocked on the desk with his hand and said: "What if someone from the Duke Chengguo takes action? Do you want to be an enemy of him? That's your maternal family. If you come, please ask for help."
Manager He at the door listened to the conversation in the room, raised his head and gave Qingshan a wink, and whispered: "Hurry up and invite Madam."
Qingshan nodded repeatedly, "Thank you very much, He Guanshi." He ran out.
In the room, Shi Jingyang frowned and said, "I never said I wanted to marry Sister Yi. Even without this engagement and Ah Wei, I would not marry Sister Yi.
In my heart, Sister Yi is just like Sister Chen and Sister Xing, just a younger sister."
The Marquis raised his hand, grabbed the book and threw it at Shi Jingyang, cursing: "You bastard, what did you do earlier? Since you don't have that much interest in Sister Yi, why didn't you make it clear earlier?"
After receiving Qingshan's report, Mrs. Hou rushed over, breathless, and entered the house. She looked at Mr. Hou, then at Shi Jingyang who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "What's going on?"
When the Marquis saw his wife arriving, he felt slightly relieved and stood up to greet her, "Why are you here, my wife?"
Mr. Hou's expression softened a lot and he said to Madam Hou: "Madam, sit here."
Mrs. Hou sat down, looked at her son, turned to look at Mr. Hou, and asked: "Master, what mistake did Brother Le make?"
Mr. Hou poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Hou and turned to glare at Shi Jingyang, "His wings have grown hard. It's terrible. He doesn't obey the family's arrangements."
Shi Jingyang straightened his back and let the Marquis mock him without making any excuses.
Mrs. Hou frowned slightly, looked at Shi Jingyang and asked, "Brother Le, what did you do to make your father so angry?"
Shi Jingyang said: "The son wants to discuss marriage, but the father does not agree."
Mrs. Hou stretched out her hand to serve the tea. She stretched her hand halfway. After listening to her son's words, she retracted her hand. She looked at Shi Jingyang with bright eyes and asked happily: "Brother Le, do you want to have a kiss?"
Mrs. Hou was really happy to hear that Shi Jingyang was willing to discuss marriage.
Mr. Hou looked at the excited Mrs. Hou and asked, "Ah Rong, why are you so happy that he wants to marry you? You don't even ask him who he wants to marry?"
Mrs. Hou looked at Mr. Hou, stood up and helped Shi Jingyang and said, "My son has good taste. Tell me, whose girl do you like?"
At this time, Mr. Hou and Shi Jingyang were shocked. The father and son looked at each other quickly, then turned to look at Mrs. Hou suspiciously, "Mother, I will not marry Sister Yi."
Mrs. Hou nodded, "I know, otherwise, your father would not punish you to kneel down."
The Marquis said: "Madam..."
Mrs. Hou turned to look at Mr. Hou, "Master, I am not a stubborn person. I know that our family is different from other families. The person Le Geer marries will live with him for the rest of his life. So.
, I won’t force Brother Le to marry someone he doesn’t like.”
Shi Jingyang was so excited that he hugged Mrs. Hou and said, "Mom, thank you."
Mrs. Hou patted Shi Jingyang on the back, "Okay, let's tell my mother, whose girl do you like? Ning Yu's sister Ning Wei?"
Shi Jingyang let go of his hands and looked at Mrs. Hou in shock, "Aniang knows? How did Aniang know?"
Mrs. Hou rolled her eyes at Shi Jingyang, "Sister Yi doesn't lose her temper for no reason. Once she loses her temper, it's probably related to you.
Today in Qi Mansion, Sister Yi attacked Miss Ning, and the only one I could think of was you."
"Aniang didn't defend Sister Yi on the spot, did she?" Shi Jingyang looked at Mrs. Hou and asked.
Mrs. Hou patted Shi Jingyang and said, "What? Just protect him?"
Shi Jingyang put his hands on Mrs. Hou's shoulders, pushed her to the chair and sat down. While patting Mrs. Hou's shoulders, he said flatteringly: "In our old Shi family, isn't it a family tradition to protect one's wife? Dad, you think so.
Bar?"
Mr. Hou gave Shi Jingyang a cold look and turned to look at Mrs. Hou, "Madam, if you accept him like this, how will the Duke's Mansion respond?"
