Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 114 Adding a Nephew

"I heard that Wang Xuan and others came to cause trouble for you yesterday?" Li Ziyan asked in the room.

Zhao Junning nodded: "Not really. They came to mock me but they didn't get anything in return. I didn't have to spend much time talking and the Fifth Princess Xiao Yule helped me deal with it."

After hearing this, Li Ziyan said, "That's good." Then Zhao Junning asked, "Where's Zhou Aoyang?"

Li Ziyan said, "He said he was going to look up some old things. He didn't say what they were, but he said the same thing as you."

Zhao Junning looked puzzled: "What did he say?" Li Ziyan said, "He told me to be careful of Lu Wu and Qin Zhuoyuan." After hearing this, Zhao Junning also became suspicious of Zhou Aoyang.

"I heard that Brother Mu Chen and Wen He have also become officials in the court. Now you have a companion." Zhao Junning said.

Li Ziyan nodded: "Yes, it feels good to have friends around, and I will be more motivated to fight Qin Zhuoyuan."

Zhao Junning frowned: "Did you have a conflict with Brother Zhuo Yuan?"

Li Ziyan comforted him, "How could that be? After all, we have known each other since childhood, so it's not easy for us to have a conflict. It's just that Crown Prince Xiao Zhengchu has some grudges against me, but this is not a big deal for me, your husband." Zhao Junning nodded gently, "Okay."

Xu Wenhe followed behind Wang Ningyi. Wang Ningyi stopped and turned to look at Xu Wenhe. "Xu Wenhe, are you not busy today?" Xu Wenhe replied, "No, no."

"Oh." Wang Ningyi looked around, "Do you have something to tell me?" Xu Wenhe nodded, Wang Ningyi looked at Xu Wenhe: "Go ahead."

Xu Wenhe took a deep breath and said, "It's not a big deal. I just want to ask... I heard from my father that several noble sons went to your house to propose marriage to you?"

Wang Ningyi looked at Xu Wenhe and thought, "Yes, there are more than ten households. My father has picked a few and will choose for me." Xu Wenhe was a little anxious after hearing this, "Then, are you willing? Do you like those who propose to you?"

Wang Ningyi wanted to tease Xu Wenhe: "It's okay, as long as the person is nice and treats me well, I can still accept it." Xu Wenhe felt sad after hearing this, but smiled and said: "So, you are moved? When did your standards become so low?"

"Why are you so excited about my marriage?"

"Nothing. How about this. Next time, if there is another marriage proposal for you, tell me and I...I will help you check it out."

"Screencast?" Wang Ningyi was a little angry when she heard that he was going to screen her instead of marrying her. "I don't need you to screen me when I choose a husband." She was very angry and wanted to leave but couldn't hold back. "Don't come to me anymore. I'm leaving." Then she left without looking back.

Xu Wenhe was confused. "Hey, I didn't say anything, why are you angry?"

Suddenly, a hand patted Xu Wenhe's shoulder, "Why do you think she's angry? I'm telling you with all my heart that someone proposed to her, just to let you know, but you're still not smart enough and you're still talking about helping others check things out. I thought you were more gifted than Zi Yan in chasing girls, but now Zi Yan holds his wife in his hands every day and loves her so much, what's wrong with you?"

"Song Ci Qiu?" Xu Wenhe looked at Wang Ningyi's back. "What can I say? She just likes those young masters from aristocratic families!"

Song Ci Qiu held his forehead with his hand, "Xu Wenhe, are you bad in terms of status? Are you bad in terms of appearance? But you are really bad in terms of brains. The girl just wanted to tease you, but you were so weak that you said such things." He opened the fan and said, "Xu Wenhe, if you keep chasing like this, I guess you will still be chasing after Zi Yan and his family even after they have two children."

"Then what should I do?" Xu Wenhe asked. Song Ciqiu looked at Xu Wenhe and said, "Of course I should pursue her. Ning Yi is a girl who is easily moved by her feelings. You can see that she has you in her heart." Song Ciqiu was about to leave after saying this. Xu Wenhe smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."

"Who scolded me?" Li Ziyan sneezed twice. Xu Gong looked at Li Ziyan and asked, "Did you catch a cold last night because you worked too long?" Li Ziyan doubted himself, "I didn't work that long!"

Xu Gong shook his head: "You young people have a hot temper and sleep late at night. I can understand that you and your wife love each other, and your uncle also knows it, but you are also..." Li Ziyan finally understood what Xu Gong meant: "Uncle, you misunderstood, I didn't, Jun Ning and I are not like you think."

Xu Gong smiled and nodded: "Uncle understands, come on and continue playing chess. If Wen He could also marry a wife, I wouldn't urge you two to give me a nephew or grandson." Li Ziyan smiled shyly.
