"What on earth did you do today!?"
Zheng Guoping had an extraordinary demeanor in his day, and he always seemed to be in a measured state of advancement and retreat in front of everyone in the Duke's Mansion. He rarely lost his composure like he did today.
Jia was puzzled, but she still came up to him, and did not forget to explain his doubts: "Today we went to the Prince's Mansion, and there was a misunderstanding between Lun'er and the princess..."
She said she had a misunderstanding, but her eyes were evasive and she did not dare to look at Zheng Guogong's expression.
Zheng Guogong has completely sobered up from the wine, and his mind is spinning very fast at this moment: "A little misunderstanding? Do you know how many people I have lost today because of a little misunderstanding in your mouth?!"
Jia Shi looked puzzled: "What happened?"
"Tell me first, why did you anger the princess?"
Seeing that Duke Zheng was entangled in this situation, Jia had no choice but to tell what happened in the Prince's Mansion.
Of course, in her description, Zheng Zhaolun only accidentally bumped into Leng Lanzhi, and he did not meet the princess, but was stopped by a maid from the prince's palace.
"You...you...you are so bold!"
Zheng Guogong was so angry that his head hurt.
Jia had mentioned before that she wanted to ask the emperor for a marriage, so that Leng Lanzhi could marry Zheng Zhaolun. However, Zheng Guogong was drunk at the time and only regarded it as a joke.
Princess Jialuo was the emperor's favorite daughter. She was able to marry the heir apparent of a second-class marquis residence because Princess Jialuo herself was blinded by love. The emperor couldn't resist his daughter, so he reluctantly agreed to the marriage.
No matter how low-status Shen Yizhi was, he was at least a healthy, normal person, quite talented and well-known. On the surface, he had a bright future.
Although Zheng Zhaolun was his son, he did not have the confidence to pat his chest and say that his silly son could bring happiness to Princess Jialuo.
He didn't even have the confidence to ask him to go to the emperor to propose marriage. Wasn't this asking for death?
Afterwards, Jia Shi talked about it several times, and he was very annoyed, so he went to find the Crown Princess as a lobbyist because of Jia Shi's nagging.
However, although he also contributed, it was just to stop Jia's mouth and prevent her from blaming his inaction for the wrongdoing.
He never expected that after trying to persuade the Crown Princess several times to no avail, Jia would directly focus on Princess Jialuo herself and come up with such a bad idea!
How dare he set up a scheme for the princess to be scorned by his stupid son in public!
It is true that after doing this, Princess Jialuo's reputation will be ruined, and she will have to marry their son in the future.
But, that is what will happen in the future!
In case it doesn't work...
Then they will be resented!
No, he really didn't care about it.
Those who are qualified to appear in Zuixiang Juli are all the top dignitaries in the capital. At that time, many people saw the video of him being humiliated by Princess Jialuo. It won't be long before the news about him being slapped in the face by a junior will spread throughout the world. The entire aristocratic circle!
How will he face those fellow courtiers who are lower than him in the future?
How to establish authority in front of the juniors in the mansion?
The most important thing is, if the emperor knows about this...
Just thinking about it gives me a heart attack.
He glared at Mr. Jia fiercely: "If you fail to succeed, you will fail!"
Jia was unconvinced and said, "I've managed to get things done even though I haven't accomplished enough. What about you! What have you done for Lun'er in these years?!"
Lun'er is already twenty years old this year. Compared to other twenty-year-old men, at this age he already has a group of wives and concubines, and his children are all grown up.
But their son has not yet married.
Who is a woman from a noble family willing to let her daughter marry a fool with no future?
No matter how noble this fool is, he can't stand up for himself, and he won't be able to get much benefit for the family after marrying his daughter.
And people who care about their daughter will not do such ridiculous things for the sake of their daughter's happiness.
However, they are not willing to marry lowly.
Over and over again, Zheng Zhaolun was dragged to this embarrassing age.
Now it's not easy to catch someone with a suitable status. Although she is a second-married girl, she is not a drag at all.
How could Mr. Jia not be anxious?
"You did it! But you are forcing Lun'er to a dead end!" Seeing that she not only refused to admit her mistake but also wanted to quarrel with him, Zheng Guogong became very angry: "Put away all your little cleverness! Let me know again What little tricks are you doing? Don’t blame me for not giving you face!"
"You don't give me face? Why don't you give me face? I am a mother. Is it wrong for me to feel sorry for my son?"
"You, you, you! Okay, okay, you are right! I was wrong! My fault was that I gave you too much power!" Seeing her stubbornness, Zheng Guogong's chest heaved violently: "During this period, you have been Let’s reflect on this in the house! When it’s time to reflect, when will you go out again! This will save you from not being clear-headed and causing me trouble again!”
The Duke's mansion is very large, and although it is owned by the Jia family, Zheng Guogong's biological mother, Mrs. Zheng, is still alive.
When the old man is here, there is no separation of families, and the second and third bedrooms all live in the house.
The news that Mrs. Jia was banned soon reached the ears of Mrs. Zheng and the people in the other two houses, as if she had wings.
It was simply unheard of for the mistress of the house to be grounded.
Not only was Ms. Jia's face humiliated, but she was also "greeted" by people from the second and third bedrooms in turn. She was so angry that she fainted on the same day.
Leng Lanzhi smiled slightly as she listened to Liusha's story about the Duke's Mansion: "Quan should teach her a lesson this time, so that she won't always target people she shouldn't target."
Liusha snorted: "She deserves it!"
The weather is getting colder and colder. In recent days, the sky has always been covered with a layer of dark clouds. Occasionally the sun comes out, but it also looks misty and no longer warm.
That night, the north wind howled, and after early morning it actually started snowing.
Fortunately, the earth dragon had already burned down in the Princess Mansion, so although Leng Lanzhi was disturbed by the strong wind and could not sleep well, he did not wake up from the cold.
The next day Liusha opened the door and came in. Leng Lanzhi saw that the outside world was covered with a thick layer of silver frost. She was surprised and said: "Is it snowing?"
Liusha entered the house with a warm basin of water in her hands and responded after hearing the words: "Go back to the princess, we've been here for half the night!"
She was very distressed: "It's only October, and the snow came too early this year. I don't know how cold it will be in December."
A hint of worry flashed across Leng Lan's eyes.
Her fears came true.
This weather is not normal.
She finished washing up as quickly as possible: "Go to the Prince's Mansion."
Liusha was stunned: "Don't you need breakfast?"
Leng Lanzhi shook his head: "No."
Sudden cooling and snowfall are not a good sign.
The things she prepared here have arrived outside the city and can be transported into the city at any time. I wonder what is going on with the prince's brother.
While Leng Lanzhi was worried, Shen Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that the weather this year was very abnormal!
Although Boss Du canceled the cooperation with him, Boss Du was not the only caravan in the world. He quickly found another caravan, and the price of this caravan was much cheaper than Boss Du's.
At that time, he had already asked a caravan to transport a batch of charcoal from other places into the city.
His journey to becoming the best businessman in the world started with this batch of charcoal.
