Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 156 Dare to touch her? Die

After finishing the business, Prince Zhong began to think about the Taohe Inkstone again, and ordered the guards waiting outside the door: "Rongning, ask Zhuqing to come to me."

After hearing the reply from Rong Ning, who was also a member of the Feidao Guard, Zhu Yanxiao clasped his fists and said, "If my father has no other instructions, I will..."

"Hey, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

Zhu Yanxiao paused and said hurriedly, "Please give your instructions, father."

"Let's talk about the affairs of the mansion. No need to be nervous. Take a seat."

Zhu Yanxiao sat down in the armchair under the large desk in the study room calmly on the surface, but he felt a little anxious thinking that Shen Shenshen was still waiting for him to send her back home.

"Why do I feel that Miss Shen II is totally different from what I remember seeing her today?"

"Replying to Father, perhaps the Goddess is a few years older than when you met her, and has changed a lot."

"Ziyuan likes her very much?"

"I like it very much. I wonder why father asked this question?"

"Alas. I am also an experienced person. Before I married your mother, there were no fewer women who liked me than you do now. I knew at a glance that Ziyuan liked her much more than Second Miss Shen liked you. As a father, I am afraid that Ziyuan will suffer in the future."

"Father, I know."

"Know?"

"I am ashamed to say that I have begged the Goddess to marry me four times. But she was unwilling to marry me."

"This..." Prince Zhong was so angry that he didn't know what to say. He calmed down and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a woman in Dongxiang who didn't want to marry a man from the Zhu family."

"Maybe... it's just Shen Shen. But I just like this woman who doesn't want to get married."

Prince Zhu looked at his eldest son and suddenly laughed twice: "Hahahaha. I think Ziyuan's appearance is quite good. Finally someone can teach you a lesson."

Zhu Yanxiao was about to answer when Rong Ning's voice came from outside the study.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Young Master Chutang has arrived."

"Come in. Ziyuan, come with me to look at the Taohe Inkstone."

As they were talking, a young man with feminine features entered the study. After paying his respects to the prince and the crown prince, he ordered the accompanying servant to present them with a precious duck-head green Tao River inkstone.

The "Taohe Inkstone" is named after the Tao River where it is produced. It is coveted by princes, nobles and literati from Dongxiang and even the other three kingdoms because of its emerald green color, crystal clear like jade, the ability to release ink quickly without damaging the brush, and the ability to store ink for a long time without drying up.

The best stone material for Tao inkstone, "Laokeng Stone", is very rare and difficult to collect. The best of the Laokeng Stone is called "Duck Head Green", which is emerald green and blue, as smooth as silk, and as white as a baby's skin. It has been mined out since the end of the previous dynasty. The five emperors of Dongxiang have sent people to search for it many times, but no "Duck Head Green" stone mine has been found. Therefore, every piece of "Duck Head Green" Taohe inkstone that can be found today is a treasure.

Prince Zhong couldn't put down the fine "Duck-head Green" Tao inkstone. On the right side of the inkstone, a Dapeng bird was carved with the remaining duck-head green stone ore. Although it is not large in size, the carving craftsmanship is exquisite. The Dapeng bird has bright eyes and spreads its wings to fly, which looks lifelike.

"Not bad, not bad." Prince Zhong praised repeatedly: "Qing'er, is this inkstone a gift for the top poet in Dengkui Tower?"

"My father," Zhu Chutang bowed and said, "It is indeed a lucky draw from Dengkui Tower. When this lucky gift was released, the whole poetry gathering was in an uproar."

Prince Zhong unconsciously glanced at his eldest son, and Zhu Yanxiao happened to look at his father as well. Both father and son saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Dengkui Tower, the largest three-story restaurant in Dongxiang, stands at the corner of Zhuque Street on the east side. It is magnificent and is the first choice for the children of the entire Dongxiang family to gather, recite poems and drink. The owner behind the scenes is said to be the richest man in Dongxiang, but it is interesting that the richest man can bring out treasures that even the prince's palace does not have.

It seems that we need to investigate Dengkui Tower carefully. Prince Zhong winked at his eldest son, and Zhu Yanxiao nodded slightly, indicating that his father and son understood.

Prince Zhu reluctantly put down the Taohe inkstone, with a smile on his face, and said to his favorite sixth son Zhu Chutang: "Qing'er is very filial. I am happy today. What reward does Qing'er want? I will agree first."

Master Chu Tang blinked and said cunningly, "Father, Qing'er also wants to study mathematics with my brother, Shenshen."

"Mathematics?" Prince Zhong didn't react for a moment.

"Father," Zhu Yanxiao said hurriedly, "Do you still remember the agreement with Lord Mu Yun about mathematics last month?"

"Oh, I remember now. Ziyuan is now engaged to Miss Shen Er, and the agreement with the Duke of Yunsheng's Mansion..."

"Of course it doesn't count."

Then Zhu Yanxiao looked at Zhu Chutang and said, "Sixth brother, how did you know this?"

"Oh, brother, I just told Qing'er what I heard in Qing'er's yard."

"Sixth brother's yard?" Zhu Yanxiao frowned.

"Yes. After my father and brother left, Qing'er invited Shenshen to the Chui Si Courtyard to talk. Of course, my seventh sister was also there."

Although Zhu Chutang was slightly shorter than Zhu Yanxiao, he had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, red lips and white teeth. If it weren't for his obvious Adam's apple, he would look just like a girl. He relied on his young age in the Marquis' Mansion, his good looks, and his sweet mouth, which made him quite favored by Prince Zhong, and he always spoke directly.

At this time, looking at his eldest brother, he said seriously: "Shenshen and my sixth brother are old acquaintances. Qing'er, Zhixi and Shenshen are about the same age. It's rare to see them today, so I invited you to Qing'er's Weeping Courtyard to chat. Brother, you don't know that the three of us had a great conversation, and Shenshen's words were very interesting."

"Qing'er." Prince Zhong interrupted, "Why do you suddenly want to learn mathematics? I remember that you didn't like mathematics at the Imperial College."

"Father, when I was chatting with Shenshen in Chui Si Courtyard, Qing'er didn't understand a lot of the math she was talking about, so I asked her where she learned it, and whether she learned it from Xi'en. Shenshen said she learned it from her brother. Then Qing'er must also learn from her brother, otherwise she will be inferior to a woman."

Shen Shen originally wanted to publicize how great her husband Xiao Zhu was at any time, but she didn't expect that Young Master Zhu Liu had his own little thoughts.

Zhu Yanxiao understood Shen Shenshen's thoughts and was naturally happy. However, he was a little confused about this illegitimate sixth brother. If he was just plotting against him, then it was fine. But if he was using Shen Shenshen to deal with him and had other thoughts...

Prince Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "Ziyuan and Shenshen's mathematics class is inconvenient for Zhuqing to join." Then he looked at his eldest son with an expression that said, "This prince knows everything." "Ziyuan doesn't want anyone to disturb his time alone with Miss Shen. Let's change the reward."

Zhu Yanxiao looked at his father with gratitude.

Zhu Chutang rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Father, I haven't thought about rewarding Qing'er this time. If you think about it, can you come and ask for your grace again?"

"Yes. I agree. I have some official business to attend to today. If you have nothing else to do, please leave first."

"Yes. Your son (Qing'er) will take his leave." The two of them bowed at the same time and left the prince's study one after the other.

Seeing Zhu Yanxiao rushing towards Zhu Zhixi's yard, Zhu Chutang knew what was going on. He smiled maliciously and called out, "Brother Ziyuan."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yanxiao stopped and turned around.

"Shen Shen is a very interesting woman." Young Master Zhu Liu said with a smile.

Zhu Yanxiao didn't answer. He glanced at his sixth brother opposite him with his long eyelashes, then turned and was about to leave.

"Zhu Yanxiao, you tell me..." Zhu Chutang did not hide his smile as he looked at his eldest son and said provocatively, "If I start to show my affection to her today, will Second Miss Shen become Sixth Brother's sister-in-law instead of being the eldest sister-in-law?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yanxiao's lips curled up, and he glanced at him domineeringly, saying: "Zhu Chutang, you can try. This prince has never lost. But..." He changed the subject: "Sixth brother and Concubine Huo have no bottom line in order to deal with mother and this prince. They use all kinds of means to deal with a woman, which shows that they are vicious."

"Hahaha, well said, this young master has vicious intentions." He said in a sinister tone: "No matter how vicious it is, it can't be as vicious as Princess Cao drugging my biological mother, Concubine Huo."

"Sixth brother, be careful with your words. You have slandered the princess without any evidence. According to the laws of the Eastern Border, you will be exiled to Mobei at the least, or executed at the worst."

"Young Master Zhu Yanxiao is showing off his status as a prince to me."

Zhu Chutang's facial features were four points similar to Zhu Yanxiao's, except for his beautiful eyes, which were exactly the same as Concubine Huo's. He stared at Zhu Yanxiao with his dark eyes and said, "Whatever you love, I will destroy. From objects... to people... I will destroy them all."

Zhu Yanxiao suddenly attacked and grabbed Zhu Chutang's neck, his eyes were cold and his voice was full of murderous intent.

"Zhu Chutang, remember. Anyone who touches Shen Shen will die."
