Chapter 1262 Banning
At this time, Hong Yunrang also saw them, so he quickly brought his younger brother and sister forward and bowed to Shang Xi.
As an elder, Shang Xi's originally cheerful smile turned kind and gentle at this moment, "What a coincidence, you are here to burn incense and pray for blessings too!"
Hong Yunrang was a very well-educated person. Every time he saw Shang Xi, he was very respectful and his words were as gentle as water, just like a trickle of water flowing through one's heart, which was very comfortable. "Aunt, after the court session today, Yunrang will accompany my brother and sister to burn incense here! We plan to go to the Dharma Hall to listen to Master Daoqing's lectures and sermons."
Yuhua couldn't help but say, "The Emperor got married yesterday and is attending court today!"
Hong Yunrang smiled slightly: "My grandfather is diligent in government affairs, attending court every day without slacking off. He is a rare and precious saintly ruler!"
Yuhua murmured to herself, "How rare!" However, what she was thinking in her heart was that this man was working too hard. He just got married at this age and didn't even give himself a few days of rest.
"Aunt, when did you come?"
"I guess he's a quarter of an hour later than you guys, maybe he's the one who came right after us!" Shang Xi sighed in his heart. Cheng Feng gave him a niece, He Ye, and Wan Lianxing gave her a nephew, Hong Yunrang. None of these nieces and nephews have a blood relationship with their Wan family. But it must be said that Hong Yunrang is a winner in life. He has neither made any achievements nor established a career, but just because he is Wan Lianxing's adopted grandson, he was named a prince by Wan Lianxing yesterday and given the title "Nie", and people call him Prince Nie.
His career is much more successful than that of his father Hong Zhe, who worked hard for many years to build water conservancy projects. It's like he has reached the sky in one step.
Even Cheng Youning is not as good as Hong Yunrang.
Because Cheng Youning's grandfather was the emperor's elder brother, and was named Prince Pang, it stands to reason that his family was blessed with success, and the whole family benefited from Wan Lianxing. Moreover, Wan Lianxing had no relatives, and the only royal family member with blood ties was the Wan Mansion. Even Cheng Youning was now honored as a little prince. However, he was the grandson of a prince, and was just a little prince, with no mansion, no fiefdom, and no salary.
Hong Yunrang is different. Although he has no blood relationship with the Wan family, he is Wan Lianxing's godson, so he has everything he should have.
For this reason, Cheng Youning even discussed with his father Cheng Feng that he didn't need a mansion, fiefdom, salary, etc. He just wanted a title, in fact, he wanted his grandfather to give him a Chinese character. He also said that since his grandfather gave his brother Hong Yunrang the Chinese character "Nie", he wouldn't mind giving him the Chinese character "Pan". However, Cheng Feng still persuaded him not to be so thick-skinned, so Cheng Youning gave up.
Shang Xi looked at Hong Jiutong in a green dress, with her head slightly lowered. She was at the perfect age to blossom, and she looked much better than when they first met. Shang Xi had no idea what Hong Jiutong looked like that time, because she had a thick layer of powder on her face when they met last time. That makeup was not suitable for her age at that time. But looking at her like this today, she looked much better.
Just as a few people were greeting each other, Hong Yunrang's younger brother Hong Yuncong said without any shyness: "The Crown Prince's wife must be my sister's mother-in-law!" Hong Yunrang was a little fat boy, a few years older than Cheng Youning, but about the same height as Cheng Youning. However, he was much fatter than Cheng Youning, and his round belly was very eye-catching.
Shang Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after he reacted, the smile on his face returned to normal.
She said openly: "If nothing unexpected happens, I may become your sister's mother-in-law in the future." It took courage for Shang Xi to say this, after all, she was not ready to let this person who was nine years older than her son call her mother-in-law. Shang Xi did not dislike Hong Jiutong's age, but she could not accept that Hong Jiutong was not much younger than her. Thinking of this, Shang Xi was very pessimistic about this marriage.
The most embarrassed person at this moment was not Shang Xi, but Hong Jiutong. She pulled her younger brother Hong Yuncong with a blushing face and shook her head slightly to signal him not to continue saying such indecent words. This would easily be misunderstood as if she, Hong Jiutong, was in a hurry to marry into the prince's mansion.
However, Hong Yuncong did not think there was anything wrong with what he said. Although he was not familiar with Shang Xi, he knew Cheng Youning. He and Cheng Youning had fought crickets together in the past, and he even had a cricket jar hanging around his waist. He smiled and said to Cheng Youning, "Cheng Youning, let's fight crickets. I recently got a very brave cricket."
When Cheng Youning mentioned crickets, he remembered the scene when Hong Yuncong played tricks that year. Thinking of this, Cheng Youning's eyes rolled, and he shook his head mercilessly and said, "Sorry, I don't raise crickets or fight crickets recently. Xiao Wang has something else to do, so I'll leave you first!"
Cheng Youning turned around and walked towards the depths of the temple. Hong Yuncong kept shouting at the top of his voice, "Cheng Youning, where are you going?" Hong Yuncong's shout was not that simple. People around them looked towards them!
Cheng Youning didn't even turn his head and just said, "I'm going to listen to Master Daoqing's lecture, you can have fun by yourself!"
Hong Yuncong muttered, "Why is Cheng Youning like this? I want to play with him, why doesn't he pay attention to me!" His chubby face wrinkled because of his dissatisfaction with Cheng Youning.
Shang Xi laughed awkwardly, unable to explain anything for Cheng Youning. Cheng Youning's expression clearly said: I don't want to play with you, let's see what you can do.
Hong Yunrang said to Hong Yuncong, "Don't be disrespectful. Cheng Youning is the little prince. You can't call him by his first name."
"What's wrong with the little prince? I just want to play with him! Why is he running away?"
In order to avoid seeing the elder brother scolding his younger brother, Shang Xi said, "Um... are you guys going in to burn incense?"
Hong Yunrang hurriedly said, "Auntie, please go first."
Shang Xi smiled slightly and led her people into the Kalayana Hall. After burning incense, she left first with the few people she had been with. She went to see where her son Cheng Youning had gone.
Just after walking ten meters away, Yuhua said with a bad face: "This young master of the Hong family is too fierce. He yelled and shouted in the temple, spoke without reservation, and even called Cheng Youning by her full name. He is so uneducated."
Shang Xi was afraid of being heard by those people from the Hong family, so she lowered her voice and said, "It's okay, this child's mind is simpler than ordinary people. Look at that Hong Jiutong." Shang Xi wanted to hear Yuhua's opinion of Hong Jiutong. Yuhua was her good friend and the housekeeper of their family. She was a straightforward person, and what she said might not be pleasant to hear, but it would definitely be useful.
