The prince is very cruel

"As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together."

"Besides, with Mr. He's reputation and ability, if he really opened a school, I don't believe it would be worse than Shangyin Pavilion."

This flattery hit He Zhijie's heart just right, and he felt relaxed all over.

"Hahaha!"

He suddenly laughed out loud, in a good mood: "Little kid, I admire you very much!"

"Since you helped me get the Four Treasures of the Study back, I will definitely fulfill my promise. Why don't we go somewhere else and have a drink while we talk?"

"No problem, why don't you go to my house?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.

"Your family? Which family?"

"You'll find out when you get there. There's plenty of wine and meat, and the old man can take a bath while he's there."

"..."

He Zhijie was used to being idle and unkempt, so much so that Guan Ning couldn't even see his face. Finally, under Guan Ning's strong persuasion, the old man was finally willing to tidy up.

When he appeared in Guan Mansion again, everyone was shocked.

"hiss!"

"What a big change."

He Zhijie looked to be about fifty years old. Although he had some white hair, he was not old. It was hard to conceal the clarity in his pupils, which seemed like an abyss of knowledge!

He has an ordinary thin face with a little beard. He is not old, but has a sense of time. His facial features are three-dimensional, and his hair is tied up with a wooden hairpin. He is indescribably amiable and has a noble spirit.

"I'm afraid Mr. He must have been a handsome man when he was young." Qin Yao opened her beautiful eyes wide and couldn't help but praise.

"Hahaha, you little girl are so good at talking!"

"Hey, hey there, you must be very lucky to have such a wife. Your ancestors must be very grateful to you." He Zhijie changed his usual weird temper and became very talkative when he came to Guan's house.

Guan Ning sighed, "Really? I was thinking of divorcing her, but there's nothing I can do. This woman is determined to follow me."

Qin Yao's beautiful face fell, and she glanced at him sideways, as if to say, "I'll let you in tonight and take your last name!"

It was the first time that He Zhijie had seen such a shameless person, and he gave him a look of contempt.

"Hahaha!" Guan Ning burst into laughter instantly.

"Come on, come on, don't stand there, Mr. He. It's getting dark. Let's get drunk in this pavilion!" Guan Ning shouted.

boom!

As the cork was opened, the aroma of wine filled the air.

Gulu!

He Zhijie swallowed hard, his eyes wide open: "The wine from Guan Mansion is just special."

"If you like, I'll take care of you for the next three years!"

"really?"

"Seriously!" Guan Ning nodded.

The old man He Zhijie chuckled, sat down, and took a sip. His expression was unkempt, as if he was in ecstasy.

puff……

Qin Yao, Ning Xiu and other female relatives beside them could not help but laugh.

"Good wine, good wine!"

"Bright moon, gentle breeze, small pavilion, fine wine, lovely wife...boy, you have everything, why do you still want to do such a thankless task as running a school?" He Zhijie suddenly asked.

Seeing that the two were talking about serious matters, Qin Yao immediately signaled the female relatives to leave, and she also stepped aside.

Deep down, she has the most traditional Han Chinese female thinking. When men talk about important matters, it is not easy for women to get involved.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "I have no intention of imitating the Shangyin Pavilion and cultivating many high-ranking officials or powerful writers. I also have no intention of standing at the forefront of the storm and enjoying some kind of reputation."

"My happiness and strength do not come from this."

"But I want the children I adopted, and everyone in my Guan Mansion, to be able to read and write, and to have the power to choose, rather than just being servants forever."

"Of course, if we can cultivate some talents, that would be the best."

"After all, beneath this illusion of prosperity, there are internal and external troubles. I want to keep this family business." He said it very tactfully. In fact, the entire Central Plains cannot be clearly described by the four words "internal and external troubles".

Hearing this, He Zhijie was shocked!

Guan Ning's calmness, wisdom, benevolence, and vision all refreshed his view of Guan Ning.

A glint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which were as vast as the sea of ​​knowledge: "The world has misjudged you, and has misjudged Prince Guan."

"I'll help you with this."

"One is to repay your kindness, and the other is for you as a person."
