I Am This Type of Woman

Chapter 90: Not Him (2)

"Uncle," Du Jiu put a letter in front of Rong Xia, "this is news from the border."

Rong Xia picked up the envelope, opened it and read it, then burned it on a candle: "What's going on at the Yan family?"

"One hour ago, Yan Ming went to the Eldest Princess' mansion to plead guilty, but the Eldest Princess did not see him." Du Jiu thought for a while, "The Yan family has really done this matter...the face is lost."

"If I were Yan Ming, the first person I would meet would not be Princess Dachang, but Princess Fuller." Rong Xia watched the letter paper burn to ashes little by little, and said coldly, "Princess Fuller is the one who is responsible for this matter." Whether Lingren, the eldest princess, or the Jingtinghou's mansion, they are all so angry because of Princess Fule, what's the use of him begging the eldest princess?"

"This..." Du Jiu hesitated, "The Eldest Princess is the one who can really make decisions in the Ban family, shouldn't it be right to beg the Eldest Princess?"

Rong Xia didn't say a word. If he had never dealt with the Ban family, he would probably think the same way as the Yan family, but after seeing the Ban family's... style of behavior, he can be sure of one thing. common sense.

"Uncle, the steward of the Jingting Hou Mansion asked for an interview, and said that it was the order of His Majesty Hou, so I brought you a gift of thanks."

Rong Xia blew out the candle, stood up and opened the window, nodded and said, "Let him in."

The steward sent by the Ban's family had good facial features, and was dressed in clean and tidy steward's clothes. From a glance, he really didn't look like a servant of the mansion.

"Meet Cheng Amber."

"You don't need to be too polite," Rong Xia glanced at the steward, "I don't know why the prince gave me a thank you gift?"

"Uncle speaks out for the princess, and Hou Ye, his wife and the son are very grateful. The son knows that you are a gentleman in the world, and you don't like gold and silver, so I only prepare a small gift. Please don't dislike it, uncle." The steward turned around. He took a food box and a painting scroll from the servant, and handed them to Du Jiu.

"Your Majesty, you're being polite. Rong is just telling the truth, so I can't bear a word of thanks."

"Many people in the world know the truth, but not everyone dares to speak out." The steward gave a big gift to Rong Xia, "Don't dare to disturb the uncle's peace, so I bid farewell."

After the steward left, Du Jiu put these two things in front of Rong Xia.

It is said that the Ban family is rich and powerful, and they give gifts to people, and they just give them this kind of gift, which is really too thin.

Rong Xia opened the food box, and there were two plates of dim sum inside. The light green dim sum looked very attractive, and he couldn't help laughing. Using the silver chopsticks in the box, I picked one up and put it in my mouth.

"Uncle!" Du Jiu was taken aback. How could Uncle eat these things directly? What if they are poisonous?

Rong Xia waved his hand at him, put down her chopsticks to remove the painting roll.

Du Jiu: I just had a snack and went to see the painting again. Uncle, are you influenced by the unruly Ban family?

The ancestors all said that those who are close to ink are black, and it seems that there is a reason for this.

Opening the lid of the painting tube, Rong Xia carefully took out the somewhat yellowed painting, and then unfolded the painting little by little.

"Mountain Moonwatching Picture?!"

Du Jiu looked at this painting in horror, almost broke his voice, this is "Mountain Looking at the Moon"!

"Watching the Moon in the Cold Mountain" was created by Zhao Bicong, a famous calligrapher and painter hundreds of years ago. It is said that this work is the last painting he made before his death, and it contains all his feelings and thoughts of his dead wife.

It is said that in order to please his favorite concubine who loves famous paintings, the former emperor sent people to inquire about this painting, but they did not find the authentic one.

So here comes the point, why is this painting here?

No, it should be said, why did the Ban family give the painting to their uncle?

He shouldn't dislike Ban's family being stingy, this family is not stingy, they are too generous, so generous that they are out of their minds. Who would be so stupid as to give away such a thing as a family heirloom, isn't it stupid? !

Although he is not from the Ban family, but at this moment, Du Jiu still feels sorry for the Ban family, "As expected of the son of a dude, Ban Shizi, this gift is really..."

Rong Xia looked at the painting, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger: "It's not him."
