Chapter 351 Thinking of an Old Friend

As soon as the Ding family left and the private room was closed again, Si Lengyue apologized to Qin Liuxi.

"You are being too polite to me when you say that." Qin Liuxi glared at her.

Si Lengyue smiled and offered tea: "It's my fault. I apologize with tea." She took a sip of tea and asked: "Do you know this Ding family member?"

"Not familiar. I met the one in green two or three months ago. I took a job to go to Ningzhou and happened to meet him." Qin Liuxi smiled lightly: "There is a prefect in the Ding family. He used to respect my grandfather as a teacher. My grandfather helped him all the way because we were from the same hometown. Now that the Qin family has fallen, the Ding family avoids them and hides in the government office of Prefect Ding. Do you think they are familiar?"

Si Lengyue frowned. The character of the Ding family is too disappointing.

Teng Zhao on the side showed even more disgust.

They understand the principle of "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it", but the Ding family's behavior is obviously ungrateful. Looking at the attitude of the Ding family outside, it is strange that such a family can last long.

"The children of the Ding family are rampant and immoral outside, and they will cause trouble sooner or later." Although Si Lengyue is a businessman, she is not a person who can't understand everything because of her background and vision.

Although you know that there is always a mountain, you never know whether the ordinary-dressed person in front of you is a big boss. If you are annoyed, it is possible that your Ding family will be overthrown in an instant.

After all, the Ding family only has a prefect to support the scene. There are countless powerful people above the fourth rank in Daxian. Even if they are not officials, those old-fashioned nobles can easily trample them under and crush them.

So it is better to be humble, otherwise it will be fine if you ruin yourself, but if you ruin the entire family, you will be a sinner who is ashamed to see your ancestors!

Qin Liuxi never took the Ding family seriously and said, "Don't mention them, it's a bummer."

Si Lengyue changed the topic swiftly.

In another private room of Luofeng, Ding Yongliang was also apologizing to the two distinguished guests.

"Luoshuang has the best view, but I asked people to arrive first. It's a pity. Please forgive me, brother Zhou."

The two people in front of him were Zhou Wei, the eldest son and Zhou Ning, the eldest daughter of Jiangsu Governor Zhou Xingping. Not only were they born in an official family, but their status was also very noble, because their mother, Madam Zhou, was the niece that the current Empress Dowager Zhou loved very much, that is, the cousin of the emperor, and was related to the royal family.

Empress Dowager Zhou loved her niece and loved her children very much. She often summoned them to the palace to accompany her, and Zhou Ning was even given the title of Huilan County Master.

It is just unknown whether Empress Dowager Zhou intends to grant marriage to a certain prince, or whether the Zhou family is reluctant to do so. Zhou Ning has reached the age of marriage, but has not yet been engaged, which has led many noble families to test her in secret.

First, Governor Zhou has made outstanding achievements in politics and will be promoted soon. Second, Zhou Ning is a gentle, elegant, generous and beautiful person. She is good at sewing and managing the family well. She wants to marry a virtuous wife. This is simply the perfect standard for many families to like their daughter-in-law.

"Yes, every time at this time, when the window of that private room is opened, you can see the colorful maple trees outside. It's all because of that person, who doesn't know..." Ding Sufang pouted and wanted to complain again.

Ding Suman looked at the Zhou brothers and sisters, her eyes swept across Zhou Wei, her cheeks slightly red, and she said in a gentle voice: "Sister Fang, it's good to see different scenery, don't mention it again."

Zhou Wei smiled lightly and said: "Miss Ding Er is right, it's just a few maple trees."

There was arrogance and disdain in his tone.

The Ding brothers and sisters were a little embarrassed.

Ding Yongliang ordered the dishes and introduced a few more. Zhou Wei had no objection. Zuixianlou also had a branch in Shengjing, and he had been there before.

However, he was concerned about the last words of the boy who was indistinguishable between male and female. Zhou Wei glanced at his sister who was sitting quietly beside him with only a faint smile, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Wei held the tea and said: "Just now, I heard from Miss Ding Er and Brother Ding that they knew that young master? Who is she?"

Ding Yongliang was stunned for a moment: "I don't know her, but Man'er has seen her."

"Oh?" Zhou Wei looked at Ding Suman, waiting for an explanation.

Ding Suman blushed and said: "Before the Autumn Festival, I accompanied my grandmother to the city to reunite with my father and met by chance." She didn't want to drag the Rui Junwang out, but the Zhou family was powerful. If they were to investigate, they might think she was hiding something, so she continued: "At that time, she was with the Rui Junwang."

She concealed the fact that the Rui Junwang regarded her as a distinguished guest.

Prince Rui?

Zhou Wei stroked his fingers and said, "Prince Rui was granted marriage by the emperor and was given an official position as the commander of the Imperial Guards. If he was the prince's man, he was not with him."

"I don't know." Ding Suman didn't know what Qin Liuxi's identity was.

Zhou Wei stopped talking, but a light bulb went off in his head. The old Ning Wangfei also returned to Beijing. She submitted a petition to ask for the title of Prince Rui as the Prince of Ning, but was stopped and only granted marriage and official position.

He met the old Ning Wangfei at a palace banquet. He heard that she had been in poor health for many years, but at that time, she looked ruddy and energetic, and didn't look like she was sick at all.

Zhou Wei thought about Qin Liuxi's words again, and his heart was full of thoughts. Isn't it very true?

The name of this shop is a bit strange but also unique.

She said that it can solve their worries?

Zhou Wei's eyes were deep.

Qin Liuxi, who was being discussed, was answering Si Lengyue's question: "It's not that young master who has a problem, it's that girl. Even makeup can't cover up her haggardness, fatigue and loneliness, and she hunches her back, which is a sign of lack of confidence."

Si Lengyue raised her eyebrows: "What disease can you tell?"

Qin Liuxi said: "We have to take her pulse and wash off the thick layer of powder and take a closer look to know."

Si Lengyue sighed: "It's true that doctors pay attention to observation, smell, questioning and palpation."

"Of course, some diseases can be diagnosed with the naked eye, but if you really want to prescribe the right medicine, you have to carefully check the pulse."

"I don't know which family those two are from."

Qin Liuxi took a sip of tea and said: "It's just that his status is noble, otherwise why would the Ding family be so attentive, and Miss Ding's eyes can be drawn when she looks at that young man."

Oh, this kind of drawn eyes appeared on Qi Qian before.

It changed quickly.

I don't know how the boy is, maybe the beauty is pregnant?

Qi Qian sneezed twice and came out of the duty room. Ying Bei stepped forward to take his things and said: "Prince, Miss Mu is here."

When Qi Qian heard this, his hand holding the reins froze, his handsome face was a little cold, and a trace of irritability flashed across his eyes.

"Let's go back to the palace." He mounted the horse neatly, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and headed for the Ning Wang Mansion. However, after walking out of the imperial city, he stopped at a fork in the road and looked south.

That was the direction out of the city. I wonder how Qin Buqiu is doing?

Ying Bei and two guards followed him, silent but looking quite nervous.

The prince wouldn't want to leave the city, right?

Just thinking about this, Qi Qian retracted his gaze, pulled the reins, and went in the direction of the palace. I don't know if they heard it wrong, a sigh floated in the wind.
