little wife

Chapter 32

Xue'agu River originates from the snow-capped plateau in the west, and after meandering eastward, it divides into two parts, one of which flows into the territory of Dachen, which is called Qingmi River. The tributaries of its mother river nourish and irrigate nearly one-third of Dachen's land, making it the largest river in Dachen.

When the Qingmi River flows through the Gyeonggi area, the water flow is gentle and the river is wide. The locals along the river are fishing with nets, and the fishermen sing late. It can be called a scene in the Gyeonggi area.

The dragon boat race was held on the banks of the Qingmi River in the suburbs of Beijing. More than a dozen dragon boat teams lined up on the river in high spirits.

Jing Zhaoyin set up a high platform on the bank of the Qingmi River, and there were many people on the bank. It was rare for the people to encounter such a grand occasion, and they all came out with their families to watch the excitement.

Naturally, the princes and nobles in the city will not be crowded together with these ordinary people. The restaurants that are on the table in the capital all rely on their relationship with Jing Zhaoyin or other government offices to grab the best view position. Blocked out a lot of seats, bought tea, melons and fruits, and watched the dragon boat race while gossiping about the family life, that is called a carefree life.

Ning Zhenchuan booked a seat in Guiyunju the day before, but fortunately, the seat is spacious, it doesn't matter if there are two more Ning Chengshi and Ning Xuan, and it doesn't hinder everyone's interest.

There was a pontoon in the middle of the river, and a dozen or so men in red and yellow bunts were shouting and performing, and the cheering and shouting below covered the waves one after another.

Ning Luo was amused and couldn't help asking, "What are they doing?"

Qin Yihan said with a smile: "They are folks from various dragon boat teams who came to cheer. This dragon boat race will definitely determine the winner. They are so strong that they might scare people to the ground."

"Will there be dragon boat races in Jiangnan?" Ning Luo asked curiously.

"Of course, Zhenzhou will hold it every year. Every year, our Qin family will win the lottery. Our Qin family's dragon boat team must be the first prize," Qin Yihan said casually, "Also, if all the members of the dragon boat team are tenants of the Qin family, It can also waive the land rent for one year, and everyone rushes to sign up."

Ning Luo covered her mouth and laughed: "Brother Han sounds really powerful."

Qin Yihan was a little embarrassed by her smile: "Sister Luo, don't make fun of me, but if you are interested, you can go to Zhenzhou to play for a few days. If you want to see the moon in the sky, I will take care of it for you. "

Ning Chengshi's eyes almost turned red when he heard it, and he leaned closer and said, "My eldest nephew is young and promising, which is really enviable. If there is any money-making business in the future, let us take advantage of it."

Even Ning Luo was ashamed when she heard this, but Qin Yihan smiled without changing his expression: "Auntie was joking, just let the steward come over, I'll send someone to teach him."

Ning Luo secretly praised Qin Yihan in his heart. Qin Yihan's words and demeanor are as gentle as jade, not frightened by favor or humiliation, and not stained with the vulgarity of money. If people who don't know look at him, they will definitely think that he is a noble son who has read poetry and books. How could he think of it? After the merchants.

Just as he was talking, Ning De, who was guarding outside, came over and reported: "Master and Madam, Jing Yun, the son of Marquis Dingyun, is asking to see you."

Ning Zhenchuan was stunned. According to Da Chen's rules, if two families discuss marriage, the man and woman are not allowed to meet in public. But now the marriage is facing each other here temporarily. Whether to follow the rules is a headache. He read Qin Xianglan took a look, and said in embarrassment: "This... There are many family members here, so please avoid it for a while."

Ning De was about to go out to answer, when Ning Quan also trotted in: "Master and Madam, His Royal Highness, King Rui, Yang Yan, please see me."

Ning Zhenchuan felt a "thump" in his heart, and got a headache. He was really afraid that something would happen. Will these two people quarrel in front?He got up quickly and went outside to greet the two evil spirits himself.

The elegant room was originally half-open, and Jing Yun's slender figure could be seen from the inside. Ning Luo hadn't seen Jing Yun since that day and night. It's a rabbit that jumps so hard that it doesn't listen to her orders.

Qin Yihan looked out thoughtfully, and asked with a smile: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good, Sister Luo has really grown up."

Ning Luo's cheeks were like peach blossoms, she lowered her eyes and said angrily, "Brother Han, you are also kidding me."

"I've heard all about it, which one does Sister Luo like?" Qin Yihan jokingly said, "I have to prepare the gift as soon as possible, so as not to be too hasty when I get it."

The sound of footsteps in front came, and several figures gradually approached. Qin Yihan immediately pulled himself together, stared intently, and whispered: "Don't tell me, I'll keep my eyes open for you."

The originally spacious elegant room became slightly crowded. Following Ning Zhenchuan, not only Yang Yan and Jing Yun came in, but also the suave Zou Zhuangyuanlang. When he saw Ning Luo, he opened the door with a "snap". He picked up the folding fan and said, "Girl, I see that you have strange bones and extraordinary appearance, so you must be a fairy who descended from the sky."

Ning Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Master Zou, are you prepared for the lottery you lose?"

Zou Zelin's face suddenly collapsed, and he bowed his hands to her repeatedly: "On the day of the festival, don't mention such disappointing things, sister of the Ning family, be careful."

In the chess game that day, Zou Zelin underestimated the enemy and was too arrogant, but Yu Huiyao played steadily and lured the enemy into the depths, and lost by only four players. Zou Zelin was stupid on the spot. A letter of repentance, sincerely repenting that she shouldn't have spoken badly to her.

Zou Zelin was not willing to agree, he only asked her to make other requests, even if he went up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​​​fire, he would get it for her; Yu Huiyao laughed at him for not keeping his word, and the two of them met again. The arbitrators, Mr. Lu and Ning Luo There was no other choice but to ask for a three-month grace period for Zou Zelin. If Yu Huiyao had no other demands, Zou Zelin could only fulfill the contract.

Jing Yun listened to the conversation between Zou Zelin and Ning Luo, but his eyes fell on Qin Yihan without a trace. He saw the man next to Ning Luo from a distance just now, watching them talking and laughing at Yan Yan, his chest twitched for some reason. Get bored.

"May I ask Mr. Ning, who is..." Yang Yan spoke first.

Ning Zhenchuan bowed and replied: "This is my nephew, Yi Han, who met His Royal Highness King Rui."

Qin Yihan met the ceremony neither arrogant nor humble,
Yang Yan obviously breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward to give him a little support, and said in a reserved voice with a decent warmth: "It turns out that he is the son of the Qin family in the south of the Yangtze River. It has been a hard journey all the way."

Ning Luo secretly glanced at Jing Yun twice, but just met his focused and enthusiastic gaze, but because there were all the female relatives around her, she couldn't say a few words.

"Oh, I forgot," Zou Zelin graciously took out two boxes of gouache rouge from his bosom, opened it and it was fragrant, "Madam, this is the new product of Beauty Hall this year. It works really well, originally I entrusted someone to buy it for my mother, but today I saw that the two ladies are so beautiful, why don't you give it a try first."

Qin Xianglan was fine, but Ning Chengshi's eyes lit up immediately. She was embarrassed to be alone, so she dragged Qin Xianglan and wanted to try makeup together.

Zou Zelin's tongue was shining like a lotus flower, he led the two wives away a few steps, and winked at Jing Yun.

"Sister Luo..." For the first time, Jing Yun, who had been in front of the collapse of Mount Tai, felt parched for the first time. After so many years of pursuit and longing, the parting in the past few days has reached its peak, and he thinks about it day and night. Ning Luo frowns and smiles, hating herself for not finding out earlier, "You've lost weight."

Ning Luo caressed her cheek lightly: "No way."

"Yes," Jing Yun insisted foolishly, "You used to have a lot of meat here, you have to be fatter to look good."

Ning Luo took a look at him, all noble girls in Beijing regard thinness as beauty, she used to be young, so she still had some baby fat on her face, but now she is almost reaching her age, so naturally she couldn't avoid it.

Jing Yun's mind fluttered, and he suddenly changed his words: "Everything looks good, you look good no matter what."

Ning Luo pursed her lips happily: "Fool."

The smile was so harmonious, as if a silk thread was tied to Jing Yun's heart, and his soul was up and down, he resisted the urge to hold the beautiful woman in his arms, and whispered: "Sister Luo, you must not promise him. "

It is self-evident who he is, Ning Luo lowered her eyes, and nodded without a trace after a while.

"Sister Luo." A blunt cry interrupted the undercurrent of the two, and Yang Yan passed Jing Yun in a few steps to Ning Luo, his eyes were uncertain, but the corners of his mouth were still holding on to a smile , looking at Ning Luo steadily, like an admirer of love.

Ning Luo was dazed for a moment.

No matter what happened to Yang Yan in the past, he always had such a gentle and considerate appearance in front of her. Even if he found out that Yang Yan married his side concubine, he would be disheartened, even if she was hysterical when she learned about the tragic situation of her father and brother, he would hug her. On the verge of collapse, she repeatedly whispered love words in her ear.

"One day you will understand my painstaking efforts, and you will understand that the one who loves you the most in this world is none other than your husband."

She really doesn't understand why this person is so brazen. Now that she thinks about it, this is his usual protective look. Until the last moment, he will not give up the last available chip in his hand. Even if she is as pitiful as she is, she will die Hold on to it.

"His Royal Highness King Rui." She saluted with a strange tone.

Yang Yan said softly: "Mei Luo, can I borrow a step to speak?"

"There is nothing you have to say to others, so just say it, Your Highness." Ning Luo said plainly.

Yang Yan gritted his teeth, and suddenly laughed. His facial features actually looked like Emperor Shenghe, only his eyes were like his mother's. The dead Tian Zhaoyi had beautiful eyes, and his eyes moved like tears.Yang Yan usually acted like a gentle, gentle and dignified prince, but this smile showed his beauty to the fullest.

Before Ning Luo came back to her senses, Yang Yan clung to her ear, his voice was soft but persistent: "Sister Luo, you will always understand my whole heart. In this world, there is no People love you more than I do."

Ning Luo couldn't help but shuddered, and staggered back a step.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness..."

Ning Zhenchuan and Jing Yun uttered their voices almost at the same time, one with helplessness, and the other with a pale face. Fortunately, Zou Zelin was beside Jing Yun, and quickly grabbed him with his eyesight, otherwise a dispute would have started on the spot.

Yang Yan smiled slightly and said, "It's just a little secret between the two of us. My sister Luo and I were childhood sweethearts, and we often whispered like this."

Ning Zhenchuan said sternly: "Your Highness, Luo'er is already old, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Master Ning said that I was negligent," Yang Yan apologized, and bowed to Ning Zhenchuan, "In the future, I will definitely follow the rules and don't dare to be abrupt again."

Only then did Ning Zhenchuan breathe a sigh of relief, just as a gong sounded on the high platform of the dragon boat, and the sound of the drum rang deafeningly. Walk to the open place to watch."

Finally sent these people away, Ning Luo breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Qin Yihan was still staring at their backs intently, she couldn't help but joked: "Brother Han, did you see something tricky?"

Qin Yihan smiled thoughtfully: "Actually, looking at people is no different from looking at things, and you should not be confused by their appearance. Just now, the two of them, one is exquisite in every way, and the other seems to reject people thousands of miles away but is full of heart." There is only you in the eyes, although they all have deep love for you, but if you rely on them for a lifetime, the latter is the most suitable."

Ning Luo was stunned for a moment. In her previous life, she and this cousin didn't have much contact with each other. She didn't expect that he could see the two people's bones at a glance.She praised sincerely: "Brother Han is really a master, I have been taught."

While talking, the dragon boat race was already in full swing, and Ning Zhenchuan also came back, happily watching with his wife and daughter. Even Ning Xuan, who had been cowering in the corner, couldn't help the loud and passionate shouts on the river. The probe looked up.

After the first round of competition, six dragon boat teams were shortlisted to compete for the top three. Now the river is even more lively.

Seeing that the gong was about to strike, all of a sudden, the crowd on the bank of the river became agitated, and terrified shouts could be faintly heard.

Looking far away, Ning Luo saw dozens of riders rampaging in the crowd, all dressed in black, with superb riding skills, they started to plunder around the crowd.

The crowd avoided, trampled and collided, and the miserable cries of women and children sounded from time to time.

Ning Zhenchuan was furious: "Who is this? Under the emperor's feet, there are gangsters so rampant!"

As soon as the words fell, someone jumped off the high platform, and a scream sounded. Jing Yun leaped onto the horse with a vigorous figure, followed by two guards behind him, and the three riders went straight towards the bandits!
