While Rong Song was sizing up Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing was also sizing up Rong Song secretly.
He had seen a lot of lascivious people, and he had to admit that Rong Song's face was indeed outstanding. Although Rong Song looked like a boy and a girl, he was not feminine at all, but had an indescribable enchanting aura.
If he had not known that Rong Song was capable, he would not have associated this person with Suzhou's business genius.
"Rong Si, the king invited you here today because he wants to recruit you so that you can work for me in the future." Zhou Xing didn't waste any time and got to the point.
Rong Song refused simply: "Thank you, His Highness King Qin, for the promotion, but I want to do my own business and don't want to work for anyone!"
Zhou Xing's expression did not change much, but he was unhappy in his heart: "I know the grudge between you and Suzhou Rongda's family. As long as you are willing to serve me, I can help you get revenge."
"Since it is my own hatred, of course it is my own revenge. I accept your highness's kindness, but I am used to living a free life and don't want to be controlled by others." Rong Song said, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your highness, if you have nothing else to do,
Please resign!"
Zhou Xing's face darkened: "What if I insist on recruiting you?"
"The melons that are forced are not sweet. Your Highness the King of Qin cherishes feathers, and he is the prince whom Your Majesty values the most. He will not force others to do anything." Rong Song held his hand again, threw up his sleeves and left.
Although Zhou Xing had investigated Rong Song earlier and knew that Rong Song had an arrogant personality, he didn't know that Rong Song would dare to be so arrogant in front of him.
"Does Your Highness want to recruit Rong Si?" Zhao De knew that his master was furious and did not dare to raise his voice too loudly.
Zhou Xing pondered for a moment before shaking his head: "This man is unruly and difficult to train. Even if he is brought under his command, it will be difficult to control him. There are many business geniuses in Jin Dynasty, so he is the only one who can do it."
Furthermore, with Rong Song's temper, it would not look good if it really got into trouble. Rong Song is not worth making another bad impression in front of his father.
He has been keeping a low profile recently, just to act like a good prince in the eyes of his father.
When he gets married next year, Liu Chaoyan will be asked to give birth to a little grandson for Emperor Chengde. When his father is happy, he might make him the crown prince.
In fact, he still can't figure out why his father has no intention of establishing a prince.
Some people are discussing privately that the reason why the father is unwilling to establish a queen is because he has a deep affection for the deceased Queen Shun Gong. The reason why he does not establish a prince is because the father is still thinking about the eldest son of the emperor who unfortunately died in infancy.
He sneered at this. What kind of feelings could a father have for a child who died just after birth?
And it has been twenty years.
He thought it was impossible to disregard the career of the Jin Dynasty emperor for the sake of a child who had died early.
However, my father has been determined not to establish a crown prince in these years. Even though many courtiers have made suggestions every year, my father has never relented.
Everyone says that he has the best chance of inheriting the throne, but things may change before things are settled.
When Rong Song returned to Sihai Inn, he found that Zhao De and the people from Prince Qin's Palace had not followed him.
Fortunately, he returned to Sihai Inn that night and asked a few more questions, only to find out that Zhou Mu had also come to the inn to look for him. When he asked the shopkeeper Zhou Mu what he had been through since he came to the inn, he felt something was wrong at that time.
First of all, Zhou Mu is the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and he came to the inn to look for him on a business trip. He also wanted to enter his guest room to check. This only shows that Zhou Mu is suspicious of him.
He suspected that Zhou Mu had been eyeing him after he bought the land in the southern suburbs, but he couldn't figure out why Zhou Mu was eyeing him.
Until he returned to the inn and received the letter sent to him by Su Mei.
The letter categorically stated that he might be targeted by Zhou Mu's secret guards, and also asked him not to have direct contact with Gu Xiyan from now on.
He laughed at the end, feeling that Gu Xiyan was really his sister and she actually gave him a brilliant idea.
With Gu Xiyan's help, he might be able to marry Su Mei back home in the near future.
At that moment, he decided that starting from tomorrow, he would go to the Su Mansion to see Su Mei every day and pursue Su Mei openly and openly until the day he married Su Mei into his family.
In the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Du returned to his home on duty.
The secret guard told the story of how he had been watching Rong Song for the past few days.
"He once sent someone to deliver a letter?" Zhou Mu captured the key point.
"In my humble position, I had to keep an eye on Young Master Rong. I didn't know where the letter was." The secret guard lowered his head, feeling a little guilty.
Zhou Mu lifted his robe and sat down. After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Are you sure you have never seen Mr. Yan in the past few days?"
The secret guard replied categorically: "No. Mr. Rong only went to Prince Qin's Mansion once. Other than that, he never left the inn and never saw anyone."
"This means that he knows your whereabouts." Zhou Mu sighed sadly: "It was my mistake. I should have sent one more person to keep an eye on Rong Si, otherwise I should have known where the letter was sent."
He usually doesn't go back to the inn during the day, but now he stays at the inn all day and night. It's obvious that Rong Song knows that someone is following him.
"Sir, do I want to continue to spy on Mr. Rong in the dark?"
"Suspend the surveillance and step back." Zhou Mu waved his hand.
If there is a problem with Mr. Yan, and Rong Song notices that he is staring at people, it is unlikely that anyone named Yan will meet Rong Song in a short period of time.
Rong Song has already bought land in the southern suburbs, which means he wants to develop in the capital. As long as Rong Song is in the capital, and the person named Yan has a close relationship with Rong Song, then sooner or later the two people will meet each other.
After the secret guard retreated, Nanny Yin handed a cup of tea to Zhou Mu: "Miss Gu and Master Jiang will see each other tomorrow. Do you want to keep an eye on me, sir?"
Zhou Mu looked at the light green tea quietly, as if he didn't hear her question.
In fact, Grandma Yin knew that her master was hesitant. On the one hand, she was eager to marry off Miss Gu, but on the other hand, she was still reluctant to do so.
"Master, are you going tomorrow?" Nanny Yin asked.
"Mammy, go and keep an eye on me. I want to be on duty." After all, Zhou Mu didn't drink the tea made by Grandma Yin, so he stood up and walked away.
Grandma Yin sighed softly, feeling depressed.
Zhou Mu was in a gloomy mood that night and practiced sword practice for two quarters of an hour in the courtyard.
Qi Zhiyuan was afraid that his master would become ill, so he reminded him: "Master, please do not use your true energy."
Zhou Mu put away his sword, washed his face, and asked again: "Do you have any wine?"
As soon as he heard the word "wine", Qi Zhiyuan felt bad: "Young master, please don't drink anymore. Last time, I almost got into an accident because I was drunk and made trouble."
That's right, the young master still doesn't know that Miss Gu came here after he was drunk.
Zhou Mu remembered that she was indeed drunk last time, "Maybe if I drink a few more times, my drinking ability will get better."
"It's necessary, the young master needs to cultivate his moral character and not get involved in alcohol. It will be difficult for His Majesty to deal with him." Qi Zhiyuan stared at Zhou Mu warily.
Seeing his nervous look, Zhou Mu finally stopped insisting on drinking.
But that night, Qi Zhiyuan found that his master was tossing and turning.
Ever since the young master suffered from insomnia last time, he seems to be normal and has never suffered from insomnia again.
Zhou Mu really couldn't sleep. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would be thinking about Gu Xiyan's meeting with another man tomorrow.
Even though it hadn't happened yet, a strong and unfamiliar emotion welled up in his heart.
He thought that this emotion might be called jealousy.
——
Brother Mu has long discovered that he is possessive of the female goose, but he has concerns. Don't worry, his son won't be able to struggle for long.
It jumped to 9th place, which is the best ranking so far. Thank you for your strong support.
