little wife

Chapter 14

Ning Luo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Yang Yan had hinted at his father so early?Yang Yan's biological mother died early, and Empress Minghui who adopted him had also passed away five or six years ago. In her previous life, she remembered that Yang Yan asked a matchmaker to propose marriage before her 16th birthday.

"Father, why are you making fun of my daughter? I don't like anyone now, and I don't want to marry." She said cautiously.

"Okay, okay, I don't marry anyone. My family's Luo'er is still young, so I'll call out when anyone comes to propose marriage." Ning Zhenchuan just pretended that his daughter was shy, and said with a smile, "It's good that Luo'er doesn't hide and cry secretly. "

Ning Luo wanted to explain a few more words, but Ning Zhenchuan didn't go any further. He just asked Xiao Er to copy a copy of lotus root slices again. The father and daughter ate two more chopsticks, and only then did they settle the bill when they watched the lights come on. Go home slowly.

Two horse-drawn carriages walked one after the other on the bluestone road. There were not many pedestrians on the road from Guiyunju. The sound of horseshoes echoed crisply. The night air was particularly fresh. Ning Luo poked his head out and lay on the carriage Looking at the night view of the roadside from the window.

After turning a corner, the two sides of the road gradually became lively, the red light was hung high, and there was faint laughter and noise.

Ning Luo was curious, and was about to take a second look, when Ning De ran up from behind and said solemnly: "Miss Nine, Second Master told you not to look, and go back to the carriage."

"Why..." Ning Luo was just about to ask, when a strong scent of powder came over her, and she immediately understood, her face flushed, and she was about to shrink back, when she suddenly heard a burst of shouting from the front.

"Beat him to death!"

"This little bastard, just teach him a lesson!"

The muffled sound of the stick hitting the bones, the sound of heavy panting, and the sound of cursing were mixed together, but there was no begging for mercy.

Ning Luo froze in place, and after a while, she suddenly opened the car curtain and shouted urgently, "Stop!"

The several adult men who came into view were all wearing the same color of brown corsets, and the sticks in their hands were mercilessly swinging at the figure on the ground, but they professionally avoided the deadly parts, and only greeted the back and limbs.

The little figure was also stubborn, hugging his head and curling up into a ball, his body was already stained with blood, but he still held the brick firmly in his hand, and swung it abruptly, causing a man to hug his feet and scream.

When the man regained his strength, he was completely annoyed: "Get out of the way, I'm going to abolish this little bastard today!"

I saw that the stick was swung in a half circle, the man's eyes were red and his face was ruthless, he was about to hit the boy on the back of the head.

"Stop!" Ning Luo shouted sharply.

The stick was stagnant before it fell, and the boy took the opportunity to roll and managed to avoid the vital point of his head, but he was still hit by the stick on his back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, splashing on Ning Luo's face little by little. Embroidered shoes.

The young man raised his head, his face was already covered with blood, only a pair of eyes were wide open, and the pupils seemed to be beating with scorching flames.With all his strength, he crawled forward two steps, then fell on the ground and did not move.

Ning Luo was surprised and angry: "You people, the big bully the small, the more bully the less, is there any law for the king?"

Ning Zhenchuan also jumped down from the carriage behind in a hurry, came to him in a few steps, and said in a deep voice, "Luo'er, you came behind me, what's going on?"

His voice was not angry and pretentious, and his manner of speaking was not comparable to ordinary people. The few people looked at each other, and felt a little timid in their hearts. One of the older grades stood up and faced Ning Zhenchuan. He bowed and saluted: "My lord, this little bastard is a slave bought in our yard. He has escaped several times. He has been more honest for a while. I didn't expect that today he would poison the water we use. So, let's teach him a lesson."

Ning Zhenchuan was a little troubled when he heard it. It is very common to buy a few people in this kind of place, and what’s more, there are official slaves and military slaves. He will never leave in his life. If he escapes and is beaten to death, it is justified. This scene Looking bloody but hard to intervene.

"It'll be fine after a lesson," he said majesticly, "Is it so plausible in public?"

"It's the master," the man said with an apologetic smile, "it's just that this little bastard is too vicious. Several of us have fallen for him. We must teach him a lesson this time."

The person who was hit on the foot just now understood, and immediately stepped forward to drag the boy's feet, and said viciously: "Go, go back to the courtyard to clean you up."

Ning Luo stayed where she was, watching helplessly as the young man dragged a bloodstain on the ground, his fingers were futilely digging at the bluestone bricks, and within a moment his flesh was bloody.

In her previous life, Ning Luo knew this boy and saved him in such a scene.

His name is Wei Si, and he is just 12 years old. He grew up on the northern border since he was a child. During a conflict between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty, he was mistakenly captured by the army and made into a military slave, and was sold to the Xiaoxiang Academy in the capital.

At that time Ning Luo and Ning Heng were together, Ning Heng was originally jealous, so he beat the shit out of those men. After knowing that Wei Si was a military slave, he couldn't throw away this hot potato, so he had to ask someone to go to the army After changing his slave status and throwing a sum of money to Xiaoxiang Yuan, Wei Si became a domestic slave of Ningguo Duke's Mansion.

After living here, Wei Si stayed in Duke Ning's mansion for several years. Ning Luo pitied him for his miserable life experience, and always took good care of him, and even let him study literature and martial arts with Ning Heng. Tall and handsome, his martial arts are not inferior to Ning Heng.After Ning Luo got married, Wei Si was reluctant to part with her, and went to Prince Rui's Mansion as a guard, but...

A painful and hoarse roar came, Wei Si broke free from the dragging of the man, staggered a few steps towards her direction but fell down again, he raised his head, his chapped lips moved twice , staring at Ning Luo, full of doubt and longing.

Ning Luo woke up suddenly, what was she thinking?Is she going to watch Wei Si, who is only twelve years old, fall into a pit of fire?

"Father, save him," Ning Luo grabbed Ning Zhenchuan's sleeve and pleaded, "He is so pitiful."

When Wei Si was carried into the Ning Mansion, she was already in a coma, only her fingers were still tightly grasping the corner of Ning Luo's clothes, and she couldn't break it apart.

Lv Song had no choice but to get a pair of scissors and cut the corners of the clothes, and then let Ning Luo get away.

After cleaning the wound on his body, the doctor shook his head and sighed as he came out: "Who are these people, how could they have the heart to spoil a child like this..."

There are three or four wounds on his body that are almost fatal, his left knee is almost broken, not to mention other old and new wounds, his body is hot and wheezing heavily, he must have been forced to take some unbearable medicine.

Ning Luo's heart twitched, and a pity surged up involuntarily.Forget it, no matter what happens to Wei Si in the future, at least she has a clear conscience at this moment.

It's already past Xu time, Ning Zhenchuan's matter of marrying a concubine is mostly settled, Ning Luo is in a good mood, and falls asleep on the edge of the pillow, but there is a pair of amber eyes staring at her in the dream, He kept repeating in his mouth: Sister Luo, I was wronged, I was wronged...

A day later, although Wei Si was still in a coma, she was finally out of danger. Ning Luo went to visit twice, and felt that nothing was wrong, so she felt relieved, told the doctor and the servants, and prepared to go to the academy .

The wounds on Ning Luo's head were all healed, and Lv Song combed her a double bun, inserted a little emerald pearl flower, and picked out a pink-blue lotus-leaf embroidered skirt, which made Ning Luo's lips redder and her teeth whiter. , Pretty and moving.

As soon as she walked out of the door, Ning Luo suddenly stopped and asked, "Where is Seventh Sister? It seems that the time for her to be grounded has come."

Lvsong and Zijing looked at each other, and Zijing cautiously replied: "Yes, we have already arrived, but Seventh Miss has never been to the academy, and she still stays in her room."

Ning Luo frowned. The last time she came back from Taiqingguan, she went to see Ning Xuan, but she was too hasty, and she just asked a few words before leaving. Could it be that her grandmother imposed some ban on Ning Xuan?

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Compared with other courtyards in Ningguo Duke's Mansion, Luoxuexuan looked a lot more deserted, and the maids who served were all soft-spoken. When they saw Ning Luo, their brows unconsciously showed a little panic.

A burst of zither sounds came, and Ning Luo stopped to listen carefully for a while, but felt that the original clear and calm melody was mixed with some noise, which made it a little more impetuous. With the sound of "Zheng", the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and there was an exclamation from inside: "Miss Seven, you are bleeding."

Ning Luo couldn't help speeding up her pace and pushed the door open, only to see Ning Xuan sitting in front of the guqin in a daze, while a maid next to her was pinching her fingertips to squeeze blood out.

Seeing Ning Luo, Ning Xuan unnaturally withdrew her hand and forced a smile: "Why is Jiumei here?"

"Seventh sister, why don't you go out? We haven't been going for a few days, so we've missed a lot of new things." Ning Luo said enthusiastically.

"Jiu Mei, you can go, I will cultivate my body at home," Ning Xuan said with lowered eyes, "The academy is too noisy, and there is nothing to learn."

Hearing this, it means that there is still resentment in my heart. If there is a rift between the two sisters, it will be difficult to reconcile.Ning Luo thought for a while and said, "That's not necessarily true. I heard that a big man came to the academy in the past two days."

Ning Xuan was startled: "What big shot?"

Ning Luo made a gesture of plucking the strings, and said mysteriously, "Guess."

Ning Xuan's heart jumped wildly, and even her palms became hot: "Could it be... Mr. Han Yunji?"

Han Yunji's piano skills are unrivaled in the world. Although she is a girl, she is honored as a master. Ning Xuan has loved guqin since she was a child.

Ning Luo smiled: "I'll take a step first, Seventh Sister, come quickly, I'll wait for you in the academy."

If such a bait was cast, Ning Xuan would not be afraid that Ning Xuan would not take the bait. Ning Luo would not delay any longer and walked out of the Ning mansion quickly. Her carriage was already waiting at the gate of the mansion. Green pine helped her get into the carriage, put down the curtain, The carriage had just started, and Ning Luo caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, and was a little taken aback: I saw Mammy Qian standing in front of the door, carrying a small bundle, hunched over, completely gone from her previous proud appearance Wipe away tears.
