NOVEL NEXT Chapter 34:
Chapter 34
Xiao Junzhan was looking through the 'letters' in the morning. When he saw Wei Hanzhang come in, he raised his eyes and glanced at her and said, "I'm going to finish my work here soon. If you're bored, you can move around as you like."
Wei Hanzhang was silent for a moment, why did he say this... as if she was waiting for him.
Thinking in my heart, I just nodded lightly and said hello.
She was not polite and went straight to the bookshelf. She had been thinking about these books in the morning.
Any piano score is a unique copy, which shows how many good things there are here.
Wei Hanzhang searched for a while, took down a travel journal, sat at the tea table by the window and read through it carefully.
Ning Hai came in once and served tea to them both.
Seeing their quiet and peaceful way of getting along, I became even more puzzled. Didn't they have murderous intentions this morning...
A travel note, accompanied by two pieces of tea cake. Wei Hanzhang was a little obsessed with reading it, and suddenly realized that there was someone standing next to him.
She was slightly startled, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Prince Xiao walking over at some point.
“Are you scared?” Xiao Junzhan said warmly, “Why are you so timid?”
Wei Hanzhang meditated silently, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, ask for help from others, and ask for help from others!
She barely suppressed the thought of choking: "Is the prince finished with his work?"
Xiao Junzhan nodded slightly and said, "Ran Ran, you can call me by my name."
Wei Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, then heard him say again: "Is it okay?"
It is normal for peers to call each other by names. Wei Hanzhang once again muttered something to ask for, and asked softly: "What are you doing, uncle?"
“…Bo Qian,” Xiao Junzhan said softly with a smile on his face: “Remember Ran Ran, don’t call it wrong.”
After speaking, she glanced at the books in her hand and asked, "Ran Ran likes to read this kind of miscellaneous books?"
"I like to read all kinds of weird books, and I have even read two medical books." Wei Hanzhang closed the book and said, "I just don't like to read orthodox women's studies."
She was nodding at him again.
You see, I am so ignorant and unskilled, it is really embarrassing for you to be your wife. Even if you are a stepwife, you still need to know how to be a wife.
Xiao Junzhan smiled slightly, sat opposite her, and said, "Ran Ran Bingxue is smart."
“…” Wei Hanzhang was really choked by his reaction, and after a while he said: “Why are you so glib.”
Having lived for more than twenty years, this is the first time a girl said that he was glib. Xiao Junzhan paused, laughed and said: "Don't take it seriously, I just speak according to my heart."
Wei Hanzhang's heart tightened at his focused gaze. She quickly stood up and said, "My eyes are tired from reading. I'm going to go for a walk."
"Sure." Xiao Junzhan stood up together and said softly: "You don't have to be restrained here, you can go anywhere."
Despite the host's words, Wei Hanzhang still didn't dare to wander around. Even if it was just the other courtyard of Prince Yan's Mansion, she still had to worry about bumping into people.
It would be really hard to explain if someone really caught her having a private relationship with this prince...
Thinking of this, Wei Hanzhang didn't even dare to go out of the courtyard. He walked directly to the stone bench in the pavilion next to the garden and sat down on it.
Xiao Junzhan sat down with her and asked, "Can you play chess?"
Wei Hanzhang nodded: "...get a rough idea."
She dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Apart from the art of piano, she only had a basic understanding of other writing and calligraphy. After all, it is easy to learn when you first get started, but if you continue to learn, you will have to waste your hard work. The two elders of the Jiang family are reluctant to let their delicate granddaughter endure hardship.
The legitimate daughter of a wealthy family will be the mistress of the house in the future. She only needs to know how to care for her husband and raise her children, and to be in charge of the middle child. As for those sideshows, it is enough to learn a little bit. Who dares to ask her to perform her skills in public? ?
However, it is not that there are noble ladies who work hard at practicing calligraphy, painting and dancing, but they are all heading for a better future. For example, the eldest daughter of An Guo Gongfu is said to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a graceful figure, dancing like a butterfly. She is even more unique, and her reputation as a beauty spreads throughout the capital.
I wanted to win the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince and worked hard.
Xiao Junzhan called the Ninghai chessboard, and the two began to play chess.
Wei Hanzhang chose the white piece and took the next step without hesitation.
After walking a few steps, Xiao Junzhan realized that the girl in front of him was indeed not modest.
…She really only knew a little bit about it.
However, Wei Hanzhang was a very good chess player, and even if no scraps of his armor were taken, his face would not change at all. Xiao Junzhan wanted to talk to her a few more words, so he taught her in detail.
As a result, Wei Hanzhang's impression of the prince in front of him gradually improved. He was really a very patient person. His tone was neither urgent nor slow, and it was very pleasing to the ear. In the gentle breeze and drizzle, he fell into his rhythm unknowingly.
By the time he reacted, Wei Hanzhang was able to talk to him without warning.
You know, originally she labeled the person in front of her as a 'scumbag', and she hated such scumbags in her heart.
As expected, those who can do well in the court are not ordinary people.
Wei Hanzhang felt a little wary, and her expression became lighter. She looked up at the sky and said, "I should go back."
Xiao Junzhan was slightly startled and subconsciously wanted to stay. Seeing the indifference on her face, her lips moved, but in the end she didn't say anything.
He looked at the unfinished chessboard and called Ning Hai to put it away.
He looked at Wei Hanzhang again, poured her a cup of hot tea himself, and said warmly: "Are you bored today?"
“...it’s okay,” I read two books today, and my chess skills have improved a bit. It’s definitely not a waste, nor is it boring.
Wei Hanzhang said: "You have been here all day, don't you need to run errands?"
Her father is a low-ranking official of the fifth rank, who is very busy at home every day. Since Prince Xiao can speak well in front of the prince, his official position must be high, right?
Her expression said, "Don't delay your business because of me. I'm still waiting for you to save people." It made Xiao Junzhan smile in his eyes.
"Ran Ran An Xin, I have taken care of the errands." His tone was really soft and pleasant: "Everything that needs to be dealt with has been taken care of."
Wei Hanzhang said: "That's good."
After saying this, she paused and looked a little uncomfortable. Why did these words make her so worried?
Especially the way the person opposite looked down at him made Wei Hanzhang feel uncomfortable all over. She quickly stood up and turned to leave without speaking to him.
Xiao Junzhan stood up with her and personally walked her to the door on the courtyard wall, then whispered: "Remember to come tomorrow."
"..." Wei Hanzhang felt even more uncomfortable. She didn't even say goodbye, she opened the courtyard door and returned to the Wei Mansion.
On the way back, I kept lamenting that this man is indeed a young man with a lot of concubines in his backyard. If he were to replace him with a girl who is really inexperienced in the world, I am afraid that he would really be in love.
Wei Hanzhang pursed her lips. Fortunately, she had seen all kinds of scumbag tricks on the Internet news in her previous life, so she was somewhat resistant to them.
