Chapter 320: Jin mucong is in love!
Translator: 549690339
The Zhu family’s attitude towards the conflict between the Crown Prince and the third Prince was normal.
But it was also very abnormal.
The Zhu family did not support or oppose it.
If it was someone else, they might have seemed to have some ulterior motives.
However, it was normal for the Zhu family.
Because the Zhu family would never order the young Emperor around.
He wouldn’t teach the Crown Prince how he should be just because he was the crown prince’s biggest backer.
Never.
He had not treated ning yuanxian like this before, and now he was treating ning Yi the same way.
However, at critical moments, the Zhu family would support the Crown Prince to the end.
Just like more than 20 years ago, when ning yuanxian was in great danger because of the destruction of sovereign Jiang Li, the Zhu family stepped forward without hesitation and helped him through the crisis.
Just this point alone made ning yuanxian feel grateful to Zhu Hong for his entire life.
..................
In the study!
Zhu hongzhu was supervising the two children as they practiced calligraphy.
One of them was Zhu Hongping, and the other was Zhu Ning, his most beloved grandson and granddaughter.
Zhu Hongping was a proud and aloof person, but her calligraphy was very methodical. She had been practicing a particular style of calligraphy since she was five years old and had not changed. She had only become more and more profound and accomplished.
Zhu Ning, on the other hand, looked quiet and gentle, but her calligraphy style was erratic. She used one type of calligraphy at one time and another at the next, making it difficult for her to focus on one.
This girl didn’t leave the house.
Therefore, not many people had seen her in person. She was known as the most talented woman in the capital, not the most beautiful woman.
Was she beautiful?
Of course, it was pretty.
Her eyebrows were curved, her eyes were curved, her nose was delicate, and her lips were slightly curved.
Her face was pretty.
She could be considered a beauty, although she wasn’t stunning.
However, what was praiseworthy was not her beauty, but her spiritual aura.
That pair of eyes seemed to be able to speak. Although every expression was calm, they were very lively.
After the two children finished writing, they handed it to Zhu Hong for review.
“Good, good, good. My good grandson’s calligraphy skills are getting better.”
“Good, good, good, my good granddaughter’s words are getting more and more vivid.”
This was Zhu Hong. All he got from his mouth was praise, and he rarely blamed anyone.
He then took a closer look at Zhu Ning’s calligraphy.
“Girl, you’ll be twenty after the new year.”
Zhu Ning turned a deaf ear.
He picked up another book and read it carefully.
“Time to find a partner.” “You’re not in a hurry, but even Grandpa is,” Zhu Hong replied.
Zhu Ning continued to ignore him.
“Grandpa’s talking to you,” Zhu Hongping frowned.
“Grandpa, I’m trying,” Zhu Ning said.
“Then tell me, what kind of girl are you looking for?” Zhu hongzhu asked.
Zhu Ning shook her head.
Was shaking his head an idiot?
Can’t say, or don’t know?
Then, Zhu hongzhu looked at Zhu Hongping and said, ” “You’re already 18, how about you find a partner next year?”
“I’ll leave it to you, Grandpa,” Zhu Hongping said.
He had always been the most sensible and obedient one, and he had always wanted to be his grandfather’s greatest pride.
“Girl, what book are you reading?” Zhu Hong asked.
Zhu Ning placed the book’s cover in front of Zhu hongzhu to show him.
Most people didn’t recognize the words on it because they weren’t Chinese characters at all.
If Shen lang was there, he would have recognized the Hebrew language.
As expected, not only did this world excavate the Chinese language, but it also excavated the classics of other ancient civilizations.
The book in Zhu Ning’s hand was an ancient book that sky-Sea Pavilion had spent more than ten years to decipher. In the end, she was the one who lent it out, which showed her status.
In the entire Yue country, there should not be more than five people who could read this book.
This girl was truly well-read.
She had read all the books she could and learned several languages.
Science, philosophy, mathematics, art, aesthetics, theology, and so on, she had read all of them.
He read every book with great interest.
However, she had no one to communicate with.
Because other than her, no one else had ever read these books, nor did they like to read them.
Many young talents came to ask for her hand in marriage, but the conversation didn’t last more than two hours before they fled.
Because he had no dignity.
Men always wanted to save face, and they always wanted women to admire them.
Therefore, the new students could not help but show off their knowledge when they saw Zhu Ning, as if they were very knowledgeable.
However, after he spoke ...
This girl was well-versed in astronomy and geography.
She knows what you know.
She understood what you didn’t.
For the sake of the imperial examination, these new scholars would definitely specialize in national studies.
However, they could not compete with Zhu Ning in poetry.
Zhu Ning had read too many books and her horizons were broad. She had all sorts of classic poems, be it ancient or modern, at her fingertips.
Even the poems she composed herself were full of spirit because of her wild imagination and knowledge.
These scholars really felt inferior in front of her.
Once men felt inferior in front of women, they would give up on themselves.
Over time.
Zhu Ning became the most talented woman in the capital.
No one could marry her.
Zhu Hongping was very dissatisfied with her way of reading.
He felt that he definitely had to read, but he had to be attentive and selective.
How could someone like Zhu Ning, who had to read a few books every day, possibly have profound knowledge?
However, every time Zhu Hong tested the two of them on their knowledge.
Zhu Hongping was usually the loser, but his policy papers were well-written and he usually won.
Zhu Ning did not like policy papers as she felt that they were too restrictive.
“Master, His Majesty has arrived!”
At this moment, the old servant outside shouted.
Then he heard ning yuanxian’s voice.
“I told you not to say, you’re not allowed to say, and you still want to say it.”
The king was blaming the old servant of the Zhu family. He had wanted to come in directly and not let Zhu Hong go out to welcome him.
Ning yuanxian walked in confidently.
“Your Majesty,” Zhu Hong stepped forward and bowed.
Zhu Hongping, on the other hand, knelt down and kowtowed.”Student greets Your Majesty.”
Zhu ningjian gave a simple bow.
How could ning yuanxian let Zhu hongzhu bow down? he directly went forward to help him.
“I’m ning yuanxian. Greetings, Prime Minister.”
Zhu hongzhu’s eyelids twitched when he heard the words ‘Prime Minister’.
AI!
The monarch was not only his monarch but also his son-in-law and his student. He had watched the monarch grow up.
He understood it too well.
Every time he called him Prime Minister, nothing good would happen.
Next, ning yuanxian excitedly checked the calligraphy of Zhu Hongping and Zhu Ning, and praised them.
At this moment, Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu kept chanting in his heart, ” Don’t write anything, don’t write anything.
He was really afraid of ning yuanxian’s inscriptions.
The monarch’s calligraphy was quite good, but it was just good. His calligraphy skills were really just average. At most, it was not bad, but it was still far from reaching the next level.
However, His Majesty felt good about himself and wrote wherever he went.
Moreover, you have to hang up the words he wrote, right?
There was really no more space at home.
Perhaps the prayer in Zhu Hong’s heart had worked, but the king, ning yuanxian, did not have an inscription.
It seemed like there was something important.
In fact, ning yuanxian was also a little sad.
From now on, he wouldn’t be able to write anymore, because the trembling of his hands would be shown on the writing.
He couldn’t let anyone see that he was sick.
It was a pity.
I’m such a good calligrapher, and this illness will cause the world to lose so many calligraphic works.
Zhu Hongping and Zhu Ning took their leave and let ning yuanxian and Zhu hongzhu talk about serious business.
..................
“I heard that Your Majesty’s request to borrow money from the hidden origins society was not smooth?” Zhu hongzhu took the initiative to ask.
If someone else had said that, the monarch would have been furious. What do you mean by that? Are you making fun of me?
But since it came from his Prime Minister’s mouth, he would not blame him. Instead, he nodded.
“Shu botao said to let ning Yi go talk.” “Prime Minister, what do you think this means?” ning yuanxian asked.
Zhu hongzhu frowned. From a certain perspective, this was driving a wedge between the father and son relationship of the Emperor.
Ning yuanxian then waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to talk about this unhappy matter anymore.
“I’ve come to see Prime Minister today for another matter,” Ning yuanxian said.
“Please speak, Your Majesty,” Zhu Hong replied.
Then he casually brewed tea, and the study room suddenly became more lively.
After the water was boiled.
Ning yuanxian took the initiative to warm the cup and pour tea.
He first poured a cup for Zhu hongzhu, and then poured himself a cup.
Zhu Hong didn’t decline the offer. He bowed slightly and accepted the tea that the monarch handed to him.
Ning yuanxian found it hard to say.
AI!
Shen lang, you stupid child, I’ve suffered because of you.
It was either you didn’t speak, or when you did, it was something as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
However, I still have the ability to dry my own saliva.
So what if it was embarrassing?
“Ning ‘er, you’re almost twenty, aren’t you?” Ning yuanxian said.
Zhu hongzhu couldn’t help but be startled. He then nodded and said, ” “Yes, it’s the 20th of the new year.”
“Do you have a good man right now?” ning yuanxian asked. Does Prime Minister father have a candidate in mind?”
Zhu hongzhu shook his head. I have someone in mind, but it’s useless. I have to get through the little girl first. It’s just that I can’t get through that.
There was nothing wrong with this.
The Zhu family had hired at least dozens of young talents to go on blind dates with Zhu Ning.
The result was the same.
All of them had escaped and lost badly.
Ning yuanxian hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, ” “Prime Minister, I have a candidate here.”
He didn’t even dare to name a good candidate.
“Oh?” Zhu Hong asked. Your Majesty, please speak.”
“Jin mucong, the son of the Marquis of Xuanwu, is of noble birth and has a pure character,” ning yuanxian said.
It could be seen that the monarch was still realistic.
His evaluation of Jin mucong was absolutely correct.
Zhu hongzhu didn’t hide his surprise. Even with his brain, he wouldn’t have thought that the monarch would do such a thing.
Jin mucong?
The supervisor of the Imperial College.
He didn’t have any achievements, so he could almost be called ignorant and incompetent, right?
Of course, he was going to inherit the position of the Marquis of Xuanwu in the future, but to the top aristocrats, fame and status were very important.
If you don’t have any achievements, you can’t even lift your head in the noble circle.
This was similar to how the children of super-rich families in the future were all Masters and Ph.D. Students from famous schools.
It was either Cambridge or Oxford, Harvard or Yale, California Institute of Technology, the University of Zurich, and so on.
If you were a graduate of Tokyo University, you would be too embarrassed to say it.
Jin mucong’s current academic qualifications were equivalent to that of a correspondence course student at Peking University, not even a regular student.
Of course, Shen Lang’s educational background was even worse. He was either from Western Pacific University or clyden University. He had spent money to buy his diploma and had never attended any formal school.
After a long while, Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu nodded and said, ” “Jin mucong is an honest kid.”
It seemed that Minister Zhu was also very realistic.
“Why don’t we let the two kids meet?” ning yuanxian asked.
Zhu Hong nodded. sure! Let’s find a day. We’ll meet and understand each other.
This was a blind date.
After all, since the Emperor had spoken, he had to give her the opportunity to go on a blind date.
After that, ning yuanxian did not have the face to stay any longer and quickly left.
He felt that he had lost almost all of his face today.
In the eyes of Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu, I, ning yuanxian, must be particularly unreliable.
........................
After ning yuanxian left.
Prime Minister Zhu hongzhu called Zhu Ning over.
“His Majesty has introduced you to a partner.”
Zhu Ning was stunned.
If it were any other girl, this would be a fixed marriage.
But to the Zhu family, it didn’t exist at all.
“Who?” Zhu Hongping, who was next to him, asked.
Why are you so concerned?
Are you going to see Shen Lang’s orthopedics department?
“Jin mucong, the son of the Marquis of Xuanwu.” Zhu Hong said.
Zhu Ning and Zhu Hongping were stunned.
Has the king gone crazy?
Who was Jin mucong?
He was the Super bad student in the Directorate.
Previously, he had won against Tang Yun during the battle of the Jinshan Island. However, everyone knew that Shen lang was the one who wrote the poems and essays.
Jin mucong himself? He couldn’t even pass the elementary scholar test. He might not even pass the county examination.
Last spring, Jin mucong was so shameless that he even participated in the general examination.
In the end, the results were not worth mentioning.
According to the head Examiner, it took a lot of courage for this person to come and participate in the examination.
However, Jin mucong also said that his brother-in-law did not bet on the correct question. Otherwise, he would have won the Imperial scholar examination for everyone to see. Now that he was in the last place, he could not be blamed.
In Zhu Hongping’s heart, Jin mucong was not even worthy of her sister’s finger.
Moreover, this fatty had a huge scandal last year, which was a huge loss of face.
“My dear granddaughter, since His Majesty has spoken, why don’t you go and meet him?” Zhu hongzhu said.
“Sure, I love blind dates,” Zhu Ning nodded.
Ugh!
Love blind dates?
You just like the feeling of crushing men with your intelligence and talent, right?
Just like that, Zhu Ning and Jin mucong’s blind date was set for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.
........................
Shen lang was still doing experiments in the basement.
This was probably his only hobby.
This was because he had made a huge discovery recently when he was modifying those with zero bloodline.
This discovery wasn’t great, but the Kasaya could trick people.
After the experiment!
Ning Zheng’s wife, Mrs. Zhuo, came down with the food.
She was not delivering food to Shen lang but to the wife of the sword King, li qianqiu.
The sword King Li qianqiu didn’t have any followers during this border hunting competition. He had been accompanying his wife at home.
However, da Sha wanted to go to the Qiang Kingdom to protect his wife and give birth to a baby, so li qianqiu had to follow him.
He couldn’t let Tang Yan accompany dumb.
That’s it. The two of them wouldn’t be able to reach Qiang country next year.
The combined intelligence of these two people should not exceed 120.
“Give it to me,” Shen lang took the food and passed it to the sword King’s wife.
It had been almost half a year since the sword King’s wife, lady Qiu, was cured of her poison.
Her body was gradually recovering. At least, she had returned to her normal female appearance.
His face had not fully recovered, and there was no skin, but it was much better than his previous beast-like appearance.
His hair had grown a few inches.
She still lived in the basement, and when there were people around, she would never light up the lights.
She would only light candles when she was alone.
Because she had regained her consciousness, she was particularly concerned about her appearance.
She didn’t allow anyone to see her ugly and terrifying appearance. She had to wait until she had completely recovered before returning to the surface to live and appearing in front of everyone.
Even when her husband, li qianqiu, was with her, they would eat and talk in the dark.
For this, Shen lang prepared many treasures for her. The sword King’s wife had to use two facial masks every day.
“Auntie, it’s time to eat.” Shen lang shouted from outside.
At that moment, the sword King’s wife was reading a book. When she heard Shen Lang’s words, she immediately blew out the candle.
The room fell into darkness again.
Shen lang brought the food in.
He wouldn’t eat with them, because no one could stand eating pig trotters every day.
Moreover, it was red dates braised pig trotters.
However, he had no choice. He heard that this thing was good for one’s appearance and health.
“Aunty, I’m sorry, I’ve sent senior Sword King to handle some matters again.” Shen lang said.
it’s fine, ” Mrs. Qiu said. he’s just a farmer. He’ll feel uncomfortable if there’s no one to order him around.
Shen lang said, ” if you’re too bored, I can bring the baby down tomorrow. It’ll be fun.
Madam Qiu’s heart was moved, and her eyes were burning.
She was also a pitiful woman who had never succeeded in having a child in her life. In the end, she adopted an adopted daughter, but she turned out to be a poisonous snake sent by the enemy and ruined her life.
“Don’t, don’t scare the baby.” Mrs Qiu said,”I’ll hold the baby after I’ve recovered my looks.” I really don’t know when I will be able to recover my looks. Then, I will be able to go out with li ergou. Juan Zi’s martial arts is also not bad. When the time comes, we will work for you together.”
The sword King Li qianqiu’s name was li ergou. He had changed his name to li qianqiu after he was taken in as a disciple by the previous Sword King.
Otherwise, an old farmer probably wouldn’t have dared to give his son such a domineering name.
This li ergou and Li gouzi were quite similar.
“How would I dare to?” Shen lang said.
“Why not?” Mrs. Qiu asked. Martial arts practitioners like us are worthless.”
Shen lang said, ” zhezi, I will build some equipment for you in a few days. Then, I will write a picture book for you to practice. I guarantee that you will have a good figure. My wife has been practicing every day before she got pregnant.
“Deal!”
zhezi, you are bored in this room. What books do you want to read? ” Shen lang said.
“Have you finished the fourth volume of” Battle Through The Heavens “?”
“Not yet,” Shen lang replied.
“Then you urge fatty to hurry up and write, I’ll be relying on this book to live for this period of time.”
........................
The news of Zhu Ninghe’s blind date with Jin mucong spread.
It was not that the Zhu family had leaked the secret, but that the Queen had flown into a rare rage after hearing about it. She had come directly to the king’s study to question him.
His voice wasn’t soft, and the people outside heard it.
The Queen said,”Your Majesty, is this how you treat the Zhu family?”
Ning yuanxian did not continue to argue and turned to leave.
He did not have a good relationship with the Queen, or rather, they respected each other like guests.
The Queen was beautiful, dignified, and generous.
But Yingluo was too proud.
A few decades ago, she was also the most talented woman in the capital.
After she married ning yuanxian, she had been virtuous, modest, and polite.
However, he was very arrogant in his heart and kept people at arm’s length.
Because this woman was tall, her eyes were also high, and she felt that only the best men in the world were worthy of him.
In her heart, she felt that ning yuanxian was a little ignorant and incompetent.
The two of them once had a son, but he died young. They then had a daughter who was only 13 years old.
After the Crown Prince Ning Yi was adopted by the Queen, she also saw him as her own son.
There was nothing wrong with this woman being the Queen.
He didn’t monopolize the harem, but instead allowed the king to share everything equally, and he didn’t meddle in politics.
However, her ‘don’t pamper him alone’ seemed more like a kind of high attitude and arrogance.
In comparison, concubine Bian was like a gentle Xie Yuhua, infatuated and in love with ning yuanxian.
The Queen had always been dissatisfied with the king. When she heard that he wanted to marry Zhu Ning to Jin mucong, the good-for-nothing, she could not hold it in any longer.
The monarch couldn’t help but ask,”is the daughter of your Zhu family so precious?” But don’t treat other people’s children as grass.
This sentence angered the Queen, so she said that she was degrading the Zhu family.
However, after a small quarrel between the two of them, the news of Zhu Ning and Jin mucong’s blind date spread.
Everyone in the capital was shocked once again.
Jin mucong, that useless piece of trash, wanted to marry the most talented woman in the capital, Zhu Ning?
He was really a Toad lusting after a Swan’s flesh.
In your dreams!
Your Majesty, you’ve just been so impressive, and now you’re so unreliable?
He actually became such a matchmaker?
It’s obvious that you can’t do it. Don’t you think you’re embarrassing yourself enough?
However, ning yuanxian could only swallow his bitterness. Who asked him to agree to this stupid child?
Then, everyone mourned for Jin mucong.
This was because many young men had proposed to Zhu Ning.
Including the top scorer of the previous subject, all of them had been completely defeated by her.
He was completely crushed by her in all aspects of knowledge, and he almost lost his self-confidence.
Jin mucong, you’re such an uneducated and useless piece of trash. You’ll probably be defeated by Zhu Ning, the most talented woman in the world, and you’ll never like women again.
This woman’s knowledge was too scary. She could probably crush Jin mucong into pieces with a small fingernail.
........................
After the king, ning yuanxian, facilitated the blind date between Jin mucong and Zhu Ning, he could not force them to do anything else.
Moreover, he was also in a terrible fix.
The 80,000 troops had been assembled, but there was still a huge gap in military expenditure.
Every day of delay could have a huge impact on the future battle situation.
However, the yin Yuan Association did not have any intention of compromising.
And he was almost shouting in a half-public manner.
Invite the Crown Prince to discuss the matter of the loan.
Crown Prince Ning Yi entered the palace because of this matter and asked for forgiveness from the king.
But it still didn’t change the fact.
In everyone’s eyes, the king could not borrow money from the yin Yuan Association, but the Crown Prince could.
This imperceptibly raised Crown Prince Ning Yi’s status by a lot.
The battle for the heir apparent, which had clearly ceased, seemed to be getting more and more intense.
And this time, the flame had even burned the monarch’s head.
The power of the yin Yuan Association was evident.
Shen lang tried again and again. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he entered the palace to discuss the military expenses with the monarch.
He was indeed capable of handling this matter.
To be able to earn millions of gold coins in just half a month.
It was even crazier than the last time he sold the glass mirror formula.
Of course!
The crazy money-making this time was almost without a bottom line.
But if he succeeded ...
He had once again created a shocking miracle.
To earn a few million gold coins in half a month? There was no such business in the world.
If it was successful, it would be a slap to the face of the Crown Prince and the hidden origins sect. It would also help the king solve a huge problem.
........................
At this moment, in Phoenix honor tower.
Jin mucong and Zhu Ning’s blind date was about to begin. Fat otaku was unprecedentedly nervous.
Every day felt like a year, and he was restless.
Now, the entire capital was laughing at him for being a Toad lusting after a Swan’s flesh.
Everyone was waiting for a good show.
He looked out the window and saw many young men gathered outside.
Who knew how many high scholars there were inside.
They were all here to watch the fun.
They were all here to see how Jin mucong would be defeated and embarrassed.
This group of people’s thoughts were very direct.
Zhu Ning’s status was noble, and marrying her was equivalent to reaching the heavens in a single bound.
Moreover, she was the most talented woman.
We don’t have any hope, many of us have been trampled by her talent.
Now that an even more miserable man has appeared, of course we are happy.
However, do you think that Jin mucong will feel inferior and inferior just because he is going on a blind date with Zhu Ning?
No!
He’s even more inferior than you think, and he’s even more inferior.
To describe it in one sentence!
Fat otaku was so nervous that he wanted to shit!
..................
Jin mucong sat alone in the room, waiting for Zhu Ning’s arrival.
He only had one thought in his mind.
I’ll go home immediately and take a nap as if nothing had happened.
He did not dare to think about marrying Zhu Ning.
He didn’t even know about this blind date. She was suddenly called here by her brother-in-law for a blind date without any preparation.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from outside.
Jin mucong was so nervous that he could not breathe.
And then!
The door opened.
A beautiful woman walked in.
His face was calm and gentle, but his eyes were very bright.
She was Zhu Ning.
She glanced at Jin mucong after she entered the room.
In an instant!
Jin mucong’s heart sank.
His entire body went numb, and he was completely unable to move.
In fact, Zhu Ning was not as beautiful as Jin Mulan or Zhongshi. It did not fit Shen Lang’s superficial and direct judgment. What he wanted was a beautiful face and a devilish body!
However, she was exactly the same as Jin mucong’s dream lover.
Well, he had never had a specific image of his dream lover.
However, he had one after Zhu Ning walked in.
Jin mucong felt that he should stand up to be more polite.
But,
He had just stood up.
“Pfft!”
He farted.
He really didn’t expect this fart to come out so suddenly.
Jin mucong was in despair.
Finished, finished!
I, Jin mucong, already have a bad image. Now, I look like sh * t.
Zhu Ning took out an aromatic handkerchief and covered her nose.
He stood there for a while and waited for the smell to dissipate before he walked over and sat down in front of Jin mucong.
She was on her guard at all times, as if she was facing a great enemy.
He was afraid that Jin mucong would release another biochemical attack.
Zhu Ning said, ” Jin mucong, it’s actually very simple to go on blind dates with me. You just have to answer three of my questions correctly. Then, we can try to continue dating. Of course, if you give the wrong answer, the blind date will immediately end!”
Jin mucong nodded vigorously.
He just wanted to end it as soon as possible, then hide in the blanket and cry.
Because he had fallen out of love.
He almost fell for Zhu Ning at first sight.
However, it was impossible for the two of them to be together, so he fell out of love.
“Listen carefully to my first question,” Zhu Ning said.
Jin mucong’s body tensed up. Before he could answer, he started to wail in his heart.
I definitely won’t. I’m so ignorant and incompetent, I definitely won’t be able to answer.
since you farted just now, my first question is: why is it that some farts stink, but some farts don’t? ” Zhu Ning asked.
Ugh!
Jin mucong was completely stunned!
Was this the matchmaking problem of the capital’s number one talented woman?
It was really special!
I’m even more infatuated with her.
