As soon as Xia Shang's stomach started to growl, Xia Shang's stomach began to growl loudly.
"It's so good. I didn't have a good meal yesterday."
After that, he went into the house alone.
"Hey! You really don't think of yourself as an outsider. This is prepared for the lady, and the lady hasn't even eaten it."
"Just right, let's eat together."
Ping'er was extremely angry: "Miss, look at him. He is heartless. It's a shame that Miss is worried about him."
"Pfft." Li Youlan smiled, "It's really reassuring that he's fine."
"But Miss, you just kissed him, he was just a book boy..."
Li Youlan blushed: "You can't tell others about this! You have to forget it! Do you understand?"
"Oh, I got it." Ping'er pouted, quite unhappy.
Seeing Xia Shang's voice and expression as usual, Li Youlan felt relieved and felt very hungry, but thinking about the kiss she couldn't help but feel embarrassed in her heart, she followed Xia Shang into the house, only to see Xia Shang secretly being rubbed by her The kiss was on the side of the face, with a sly smile on his face.
Come to think of it, the picture in my mind was not a good one, and I couldn't help but blush even more.
"Miss, what are you doing over there? Come over and eat together."
Li Youlan sat opposite Xia Shang, and then whispered: "Just now, just now... don't tell anyone about that matter."
"That thing? What happened?"
"It's just...it's just...what about you?"
"You said kissing, right?"
"Shh...why are you so loud?"
"What's the big deal? This is the master's meticulous care for his servants."
"Giggle... Look at you like that." Li Youlan relaxed after hearing Xia Shang's words, "Hey, hey, hey... I want to drink the lotus seed soup. Don't hold the bowl and drink it, use a spoon!"
…
In the blink of an eye, in the evening, on the street outside Linshan Garden, a man and a woman were walking quickly towards Linshan Garden.
Xia Shang was still preparing to rest when he heard Li Zijin's voice: "Xia Hui, Xia Hui!"
Xia Shang came out of the room and saw Li Zijin and Sai Jiangnan standing at the door.
When Li Zijin saw Xia Shang, he shouted: "I'm really back!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"
"Xia Hui, you, you, you... you are not honest! I trust you so much, but you are hiding something from me!"
"ah?"
"You...you are Sister Jiangnan's husband, why didn't you tell me about this?"
Xia Shang was slightly startled and looked at Sai Jiangnan.
"Sir, Zijin has been pestering you and me all day long. The student couldn't stand his entanglement, so he told the truth."
"Oh! This is not the point, this is not the point!" Li Zijin was very excited and grabbed Xia Shang's wrist, "The point is that His Highness suddenly had an idea and came up with an excellent idea."
"What's the idea?" Xia Shang suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Sister Jiangnan can accept you as her teacher, why can't I, Your Highness?"
When Xia Shang heard this, he frowned and said, "Your Highness, you'd better go somewhere else to play."
"Don't say that, I'm serious! And I'm serious as never before! I want my father to personally appoint you as a young master, and teach me. From now on, you will follow me and advise me."
Li Youlan was anxious: "He is just a book boy!"
"I know he is a book boy, so this matter needs to be considered in the long term. My father will never allow me to let a book boy be my master. He must be a famous teacher. But this matter is very simple. I can arrange a decent one for Xia Hui. identity, and then follow me into the palace to meet my father. I have already thought about it. Mr. Dongyue came to the capital recently, and we can ask Mr. Dongyue to rectify Xia Hui's name."
"Are you telling the truth?" Xia Shang said seriously.
"Of course! Since my father doesn't use you and my eldest brother doesn't use you, then I will use you! Although I, Li Zijin, am young, I can see that you are different from everyone else in the court. You know many things that others don't know. I
I want to learn from you."
Xia Shang fell into deep thought, but Li Youlan was very anxious: "Xia Hui, you don't really want to..."
Xia Shang raised his hand to interrupt her.
Xia Shang came to the capital for two purposes, one was to integrate the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the other was to enter the court struggle with a new identity.
If he can become the young prince's young master, this status of being on the edge of the court but not completely separated from the court seems to be suitable for his situation. Moreover, this little prince is a good young man. If he can become the emperor in the future, he will naturally be
He can benefit the people of the world. Even if he cannot become emperor, he hopes to spend his life in peace. With Xia Shang watching by his side, there are fewer people with ulterior motives to lead him astray.
In addition, I have been living in a small house as a book boy for a long time, but without any useful results. It would be good to change my identity and change my place.
Thinking of this, Xia Shang immediately made a decision: "Miss, don't mention the news about my return today to others."
Li Youlan's heart skipped a beat, and her expression dimmed instantly: "Don't worry, I know. There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. I will treat Xia Hui as dead and never come back."
Sai Jiangnan said: "Sister Youlan, you don't have to be like this. There will be many opportunities to meet each other in the future, and it's not a matter of life or death."
"Are you leaving now?"
Xia Shang nodded: "I need to hide for a few days, and then I will appear in the capital with a new identity after the shipwreck in the Yellow River calms down."
"New identity? What new identity?"
"Xia Shang, a wealthy merchant from the south of the Yangtze River."
"Rich businessman...Xia Shang..." Li Youlan murmured.
"This is who I really am."
"Wuliangye was brewed by you. I often heard people talking about this wine in Changzhou."
"Exactly."
"I see, I know you are not an ordinary person, but I never thought that your true identity is a businessman."
The two of them were talking, but Li Zijin was confused: "The wealthy businessmen in the Jiangnan area... The name Xia Shang is quite familiar. It seems that I have heard it somewhere."
"Your Highness, your mentality will not change because of my change of status, right?"
Li Zijin came to his senses: "Of course not. I don't care about your birth, I only care about your ability."
Sai Jiangnan whispered in his ear again: "Sir, will this exposure of identity cause problems?"
"I was careful before. Being anonymous and staying in a corner is not a long-term solution. This capital city cannot be controlled by a hidden person. If I can establish myself in the capital city in the name of Xia Shang, I can solve the troubles that come with it. I believe that in the future
It will be easier later.”
Li Zijin didn't understand what Xia Shang was talking about, but he felt that the person in front of him was much deeper than he imagined.
"Your Highness, let's go. There are some things I want to explain to you first."
Seeing the dusk dissipate and night coming, Xia Shang's back in the darkness looked very mysterious.
"Sister...who is this gentleman of yours?"
"It doesn't matter who he is, as long as you know that if you can get his help, you may be able to ascend to the throne thirty years early." (To be continued)
