little wife

Chapter 113

The pattering spring rain outside the window was in full swing, and the buds on the branches were soaked, showing even more tender green that could pinch out water, which made people feel happy when they saw it.

Ning Luo was leaning on the soft couch, holding a book of miscellaneous talks in her hand, and her eyes fell on a handful of pear blossoms in a vase in front of the window: that was Guanshi Sun, who knew she was back, and specially sent someone to bring it over. Yes, pear blossoms have a unique sweetness, adding a bit of spring to the house.

Since returning from the northwest, relatives and friends in the old capital have invited many invitations, and they have spent more than half a month in various banquets. A world that amazed them and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

The entrustment of the generals in the northwest has also become another topic of discussion in the capital. Emperor Shenghe praised the armies of Changzhou and Yingzhou greatly. Promoted from Sima to the governor, he was in charge of Changzhou's armaments; Li Chenglin took over from Sima's post to assist Qin Qinghuai, and the other generals were rewarded.

Zhao Bin was killed in battle due to poor command. Emperor Shenghe did not blame him, but mentioned that it is clear to die for the country.

And Jing Yun deservedly became the most prosperous upstart of the holy family. At the age of 22, he was named General Zhenbei. He was in charge of the Yulin Army and the left and right imperial guards. He was in charge of the defense of the Gyeonggi area and the imperial city. , can be called hot.

It's just that Ning Luo didn't care too much about this honor. What made her happy was that Emperor Shenghe thought of Yu Fengdong's death in the line of duty to show his loyalty, and specially rewarded Yu Fengdong to return to his post. In this way, even if Yu Huiyao is lonely and helpless, at least she is the daughter of Shangshu, and the gap with Zou Zelin is not too big. In addition, Dingyunhoufu and Ningguogongfu are mediating, presumably the Zoufu is not the same. would be too difficult.

She discussed it with the eldest princess again, and asked the eldest princess to come forward to protect Yu Huiyao's matchmaker, so as to save some face for her friend.

Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and before she got up, the curtain was lifted, and Jing Zheng rushed in first: "Sister-in-law, Shu'er can raise her head now, it's interesting to lie there with her head held high. gone."

Ning Luo smiled and said, "You go to play with Shu'er instead of studying, Mr. Be Careful will hit your palm."

"I'm not afraid," Jing Zheng said airily, "I've finished all the homework my master asked me to do."

There was a chuckle outside the door, and Jing Xi walked in with Shu'er in her arms, raised her hand and poked Jing Zheng's forehead: "You, why don't you think about it after finishing writing? Brother, when you were your age, you already You won the first place in Qionghua Academy every day, and you will officially enter the academy in a few months, and I will see what you will do then."

Jing Zheng was so angry that she dared not speak, he snorted and turned his head away.

Ning Luo was happy when she saw Jing Xi's mother-like face, "I haven't seen you these days, Xi'er is getting more sophisticated."

"That's it," Jing Xi proudly raised his chin, "I didn't lose my sister-in-law's face in the women's hall, Zheng'er, you have to fight for elder brother."

Jing Zheng was a little dejected, and mumbled in response. Ning Luo felt that Jing Xi's behavior was a bit wrong, but she couldn't say anything more, so she just smiled and comforted: "Zheng'er has worked very hard, so you don't have to compare with your elder brother. Eldest brother is... a genius who is rare in a hundred years, and it is enough for us Zhenger to be a rare talent in 99 years."

Jing Zheng and Jing Xi laughed together, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively again.

Shu'er yelled "hmm" in Jing Xi's arms, and naturally moved towards Ning Luo.It has been more than three months since she was born like a ball of powder. As soon as she came back, she injected vitality into the quiet Dingyunhou Mansion and became everyone's darling.

Rao Jingxi is almost fifteen years old, and she is also fascinated by her pink and jade-carved person. She calls "Shu'er Shuer" all day long, and hugs her in her arms as soon as she returns home from school. play.

"Sister-in-law, Shu'er will sit still," Jing Xi put Shu'er beside her as if offering a treasure, Shu'er's short body swayed, and stretched out her chubby hand to grab Ning Luo. .

Jing Xi stretched out a finger for Shu'er to hold, and Shu'er sat upright, and she couldn't wait to praise: "Shu'er is really amazing, she must be a talented woman in the future."

Ning Luo couldn't help but want to laugh, she picked up Shu'er and shrugged her up, Shu'er immediately "giggled" out loud, her eyes were dark, but when she smiled, they bent into crescent moons, looking like It became more and more sweet and glutinous, and it yelled "Yi Yi Ya Ya" in its mouth, which was really cute.

The brothers and sisters and Ning Luo played with the little niece for a while, it was time for lunch, and then they talked and laughed together and went to the dining hall. The eldest princess was already there, and they were either slim or lively when they saw them She couldn't hide the smile in her lovely grandchild's eyes, and the great-granddaughter in Ning Luo's arms made her smile even more.

Jing Yun was away on business, so he seldom came back for lunch. This meal was eaten by his grandparents while chatting, and after a while, it would be the biennial flower viewing party of Qionghua Academy. Xi was about to attend, she was fourteen years old, and it was time to talk about marriage, since Ning Luo was back, she had to make plans for her, the flower viewing party was a good place for her to meet Mr.

Just as he was talking, the housekeeper hurried over with a servant, who was wearing a purple robe with a respectful expression, and handed over an invitation, saying that it was from Yuren Palace. Mrs. Dingyun Hou entered the palace for a narration.

Ning Luo took the invitation and gave a jade bracelet to the waiter. After the waiter Xie En left, she asked wonderingly, "Who is Concubine Xu Shu?"

The eldest princess smiled: "It was the original Xu Zhaoyi who was promoted to be the second of the four concubines, and now King Ding is imprisoned in the mansion, and Concubine Meihuang has made a few troubles in the palace. After being reprimanded by His Majesty, she fell ill, and Concubine Xu Shu is now presiding over the concubine."

Xu Zhaoyi is the daughter of Xu Dashi from the Hanlin Academy. Although Xu Dashi and Ning Zhenchuan are a little older, they are rare friends who forget each other. This Xu Jieyu is gentle but not cowardly. Ning Luo even called her aunt when she was a child. Woolen cloth.

Ning Luo immediately felt relieved, and when Jing Yun came back in the evening, he briefly mentioned this matter with him.

Jing Yun stared at the bronzing paper for a while, then nodded: "Let Clover follow you every step of the way, if Zhao Daiyun provokes you, just ignore her."

"The Zhao family...is this the downfall?" Ning Luo asked in a low voice.

Jing Yun sneered: "Well, they have been arrogant and indulgent these years, and they have done so many unreasonable things. Now that Zhao Bin is dead, Zhao Lu has been accused of murdering the crown prince. The mastermind has already been imprisoned and beheaded. Resigned from his old age and returned to his hometown, even if he is smart, he will end up dying of old age.”

Ning Luo let out a sigh of relief, not knowing what it was like in her heart: "Then what's going on in the East Palace? I went to the East Palace to hand over the greeting card that day to comfort me, but the Crown Princess sent someone out to say that I was not feeling well. If you declined me politely, I won't bother you anymore."

Jing Yun's expression was a little sad, and he said after a long time: "She doesn't want to see you, so she has some prejudices against me, that's all, the clearer cleans herself up, and there is no need to ask for trouble."

Ning Luo's eyes widened in astonishment: "What prejudice does she have against you? Could it be that she is still brooding over what happened two years ago?"

Right and wrong in the court has always been difficult to tell, Yang Zhan left, his mother Kangning Wang You's family was suppressed, although slightly better than the Zhao family, but they also fell into a slump.

Although Emperor Shenghe suffered the pain of bereavement, he was unequivocal in government affairs. He took the opportunity to eradicate the power of the relatives of the two most powerful families in Dachen since he took the throne.

As for the You family's downfall, and looking at the rise of the Jing family and the Ning family, the Crown Princess Chen's mind was originally small, so why would there be no jealousy or resentment in her heart?In addition to the rotten sesame seeds from the old millet in the past, it is not surprising that he does not want to see Ning Luo.

Hearing Jing Yun's analysis, Ning Luo also gave up the thought of sticking a hot face to a cold butt.

After dinner, the nanny brought little Shu'er over to play with Jing Yun. When she saw Jing Yun, Shu'er shook her hands and feet towards Jing Yun. It was obvious that she wanted to play with Jing Yun. Game, Jing Yun is powerful, not comparable to those nannies and mothers around her, the higher she throws, the happier she laughs, and the fat hands and feet dance in mid-air, making Ning Luo tremble beside her, saying repeatedly "OK OK".

"You're so timid, my daughter will make fun of you when she grows up." Jing Yun hugged Xiao Shu'er and kissed her. The daughter's flushed face was so tender and smooth that one really wanted to swallow it in one bite.

"You played her heart wildly, what will you do if you become a wild girl in the future?" Ning Luo took her daughter in a hurry, and the daughter stuffed her fist into her mouth, and her voice flowed. On Ning Luo's skirt.

Ning Luo couldn't help laughing, picked up a handkerchief to wipe off the corners of her mouth, and tried to pull out her fist, but Shu'er didn't do it, she gnawed with relish, and even babbled at Ning Luo in her busy schedule.

Jing Yun raised her hand and squeezed her chubby face, and said with a joke: "Your mother wants to raise you up as a little noble girl, and she wants to teach you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I don't know if she can teach you well..."

"Naturally." Ning Luo glared at him, "You mustn't spoil her."

Jing Yun's eyes darkened, and he suddenly motioned for the nanny to take Shu'er away, while he closed the door behind him.

Ning Luo was a little baffled, thinking that he had something important to say, so she sat upright and looked at him.

"Luo'er," Jing Yun coughed lightly, and said seriously, "Your piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have been settled, and I must pay close attention to my horseback riding and archery."

Ning Luo's face turned red suddenly, she raised her fist and gave him two light thumps on the chest, but Jing Yun held him effortlessly, with a little force, the two of them fell on the big bed.

In the past year, Jing Yun has been suppressed for a long time. Seeing that Ning Luo gradually regained her previous luster, and asked carefully about Dr. Jin's current situation, she was finally able to kiss her...
