little wife

Chapter 35

Taoist priest Qingxu specially hired Taoist nuns to help wash and change clothes, and found an inner room for Ning Luo to rest in. Ning Zhenchuan said a few words with his daughter, seeing that she was in good spirits, he was relieved Come.

Shut the door and walked out from the inside. Jing Yun and the others were still waiting outside. The generals of the Forbidden Army battalion participated in the search today, as well as Jing Zhaoyin and Chang Shi from Jingzhao Mansion, while Rui Wang Yang Yan stood in the corner , his face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

As soon as they saw him coming out, several colleagues gathered around and said a few words of comfort. Except for Jing Zhaoyin who was still worried, the others just looked left and right inadvertently, obviously waiting to see the excitement.

Ning Zhenchuan sighed in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, Jing Yun lifted his robe and knelt down: "Uncle, it was an emergency just now, and my nephew was very rude to sister Luo, please punish me."

The stern and resolute young man knelt humbly at his feet, the sincerity and longing in his eyes were clearly visible. At this moment, Ning Zhenchuan finally felt the man's affection for his daughter.

He is not a picky person, but for some reason, he always has a lot of picks on Jing Yun. He thinks he is taciturn, and he is even more concerned about his inexplicable favor in front of Emperor Shenghe. You must know that the grace of the saint is unpredictable, so it is not a good thing for Muxiu Yulin .

What upset him the most was that his intelligent and transparent daughter seemed to have a good impression of this kid, so how could he easily entrust his precious and precious daughter to him for 14 years?He had to suffer a little more.

After all, his daughter is still young, so it would be best if these two marriages fail until the end, so that he can keep his daughter caring for two more years and enjoy more family happiness.

And this disaster made him completely see Jing Yun's excellence and infatuation, and he understood that if anyone in this world can compete with Yang Yan, there is no one else except Jing Yun.

Hesitating any longer would be pedantic and stubborn, let alone Jing Yun's sincerity.

He finally made up his mind, raised his hand to help Jing Yun, and said with a smile: "My nephew is joking, you saved Luo'er's life, and you are the benefactor of our family. If you talk about punishment, it will make me ashamed." .”

Jing Yun was overjoyed in his heart, you know, Ning Zhenchuan had never shown him any good looks, he was so gentle and kind today, he might have to accept his omen.He didn't get up, just kowtowed three times respectfully before standing up.

Ning Zhenchuan felt more and more comfortable, and said kindly: "I saw you chasing the thief earlier, why did you come here to save Luo'er?"

Daoist Qingxu laughed beside him and said: "It's God's will. Yuan Xi asked me to go out of the mountain to help find Jiu Miss. He said that Jiu Miss must be nearby. I didn't believe it at the time, but I found it. Poor Dao just used the tortoise shell After a calculation, Yuan Xi and Nine Girls must have a predestined relationship in the previous life, and they have a mutual understanding, so this catastrophe for Nine Girls is a blessing or a disaster."

Daoist Master Qingxu and Daoist Beixian, one south and one north, spread the Taoism widely, but the Taoist name is outside. Several colleagues next to him immediately nodded and said yes. Mr. Jing Zhaoyin Zhang was frightened by this accident this afternoon. As if catching a quick driftwood, he said repeatedly: "Yes, it's a blessing not a curse, the prince and the nine girls are really a good match."

With a sound of "bang bang", everyone was startled and turned their heads to look, only seeing the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and the back of Yang Yan leaving in anger.

This catastrophe happened for the first time in recent years. Emperor Shenghe was furious, and Jing Zhaoyin, Dali Temple, and imperial guards cooperated in a thorough investigation, and finally found out that the bandits from Qinmen Mountain had rushed to deal with it. The case of Qinmen Mountain is in the middle of Dachen, where there are poor mountains and bad waters. There have been bandits since the troubled times. As soon as they were withdrawn, they came out again.

It's just that Qinmen Mountain is five or six hundred miles away from the capital, I don't know where they got the news, and I don't know why they are so bold and reckless to touch Da Chen's Ni Lin.

The two gangsters picked up by Jing Yun were poisoned, the two gangsters chased by Yang Yan were shot and killed in the melee, and the rest of the gangsters disappeared like a muddy cow. Emperor Shenghe reprimanded the local county guards and guards for not doing enough , Checked out several officials, and made them have to find a way to wipe out the gangsters.

After Ning Luo learned of this result, the suspicion in her heart not only did not disappear, but intensified instead.According to what Ning Xuan and Jing Yun said, Yang Yan was the first to find her among so many people, which took a lot of thought, and the killing of the two gangsters was even more doubtful. The robbery obviously came to her, and Ning Xuan only brought trouble to Chi Yu. Could it be that even the thugs in Qinmen Mountain knew her name?

However, as a boudoir woman, she couldn't intervene in this kind of case, so she could only mention it to Ning Zhenchuan tactfully, so that her father would be careful when intervening in the case.

For her, this case may have been a double blessing and misfortune. The marriage between her and Jing Yun is almost irrefutable.

She and Ning Xuan were robbed by bandits, and rumors arose in the capital on the second day. Fortunately, at the same time, what Daoist Qingxu said was "a predestined relationship in the past life, a match made in heaven". Jing Yun was originally the most outstanding person in the capital. The son of the aristocratic family, and even the pearl who proposed marriage to Ning Luo, this rumor is more talked about by the world than the notorious one, and some people even made up the story of the two people's previous lives vividly.

You know, Daoist Qingxu is a famous real person in Dachen, and even princes and nobles rarely see each other on weekdays, and the marriage he hailed as "a match made in heaven" must have won the favor of a saint. On the contrary, she became a talented woman and became a blessed woman.Of course, Zou Zelin, a great talent, contributed to the flames here, and the story he personally made up is simply soul-stirring and lingering.

Jing Yun took the opportunity to enter the palace again to express his heart to Emperor Shenghe. It was inevitable that there would be skin-to-skin contact when rescuing Ning Luo. Naturally, he couldn't stay out of the matter when he got married in the Taiqing Mountains, and he was willing to work as a matchmaker with His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to see the two of them achieve a happy relationship.

In the name of Ning Luo's parents, Ning Zhenchuan implored Emperor Shenghe to fulfill his wish.

This three-pronged approach, Emperor Shenghe finally agreed after careful consideration, but he was always a little guilty of his fourth son, and after calling Yang Yan for a long talk, it was rumored that he would personally marry Yang Yan, preferring the palace Zhao Daiyun, the daughter of former Taiwei Zhao Bin.

The Zhao family and the Ning family are no different, and there was a turmoil between the two of them who would fall into the water to save each other while appreciating flowers. Emperor Shenghe's move is reasonable, and it is not considered a loss of face for the Tian family.

It’s just that in Ningguo Duke’s mansion, Ning Cheng quit, and cried and made a scene several times in front of the old lady, Ning He, and even Ning Zhenchuan and Ning Luo. They insisted on telling the truth, what should Ning Xuan do in this situation? .

Ning Chengshi jumped up and down there not to mention her, Ning Luo turned around and went to Ning Xuan's Luoxuexuan.

After Ning Luo returned home safely that day, Ning Xuan cried with her head in her arms when she saw her, on the verge of collapse. It is a family that loves each other and will never quarrel.

Ning Luo was also sore and unbearable. After all, Ning Xuan was still the gentle and kind seventh sister. Although she was lured astray by Zhao Daiyun for a while, she finally found her way back and would rather stay by the gangster's side in critical moments.

This catastrophe made the two sisters let go of their previous knots, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

It's just that Ning Xuan's matter is really tricky. Ning Xuan was rescued by Yang Yan under the eyes of everyone. Cheng's making such a fuss has no benefit other than making things worse.

Ning Xuan's identity is here, if she enters the palace, she can't be a concubine, she can only be a concubine, and she will live under the breath of the princess for the rest of her life.

And a vicious person like Yang Yan, who didn't even show mercy to her as a concubine in his previous life, how could someone like Ning Xuan get his sincere love?
If Yang Yan and the Ning Mansion become enemies in the future, how will Ning Xuan deal with herself?Will it be used and discarded by Yang Yan as a chess piece at will?

Ning Xuan is absolutely forbidden to enter Prince Rui's Mansion, but Ning Cheng's eyes are dazzled by the money and power, and he stubbornly wants to let his daughter climb a high branch. The current plan is to let Ning Xuan see the situation clearly As long as she is not willing, Ning Luo can persuade the old lady and the eldest aunt. When this wave of rumors and rumors passes, as long as she has the support of the Ningguo government, she can find a stable and responsible family and live a good life comfortably. day.

As soon as she entered Luoxuexuan, she saw Ning Xuan sitting under the grape arbor in the yard playing the piano, and what she was playing was her favorite piece, Feng Qiuhuang.

Ning Luo had listened to this piece of music several times, and felt that the sound of the piano today was a bit more lingering than before, as if it contained infinite affection.Could it be that Ning Xuan already has her own heart?You don't have to worry about that, as long as Ning Xuan speaks out, she will find ways to fulfill whatever she says.

Seeing Ning Luo, Ning Xuan immediately stopped the sound of the piano, and walked over with light steps: "Ninth sister, you are here, would you like a bowl of mung bean soup? It's been hot these few days, it's great to use some of."

The maid next to her was very clever, and immediately brought a soft couch, served mung bean soup, and the two sisters sat down under the grape arbor.

In fact, although Ning Xuan's facial features are not as bright as Zhao Daiyun's, they are more attractive. In addition, her skin is extremely fair, covering three ugliness with one white, and she can be regarded as a real beauty. He no longer looked aggrieved and depressed in the past, and his whole body became more energetic.

The two chatted for a while, and Ning Luo mentioned Ning Cheng's: "Second Aunt has been talking about the incident on Mount Taiqing for the past few days. Go to Prince Rui's Mansion."

Ning Xuan didn't speak, a layer of pink gradually appeared on her cheeks.

"It's better to choose a better family to be the wife than to go to the palace to be angry, and the second aunt doesn't know what to think," Ning Luo complained in a low voice, "If you say something, I will go to the grandmother's to bear it for you."

"I..." Ning Xuan hesitated to speak.

Ning Luo was stunned, and after a while asked a little sourly: "Seventh sister, do you still think that I don't want to see you well, and want to stop you from entering Prince Rui's mansion to block your way?"

"No, no!" Ning Xuan waved her hands again and again, and said anxiously, "Ninth Sister, if I still have such thoughts, I will be struck by lightning!"

Only then did Ning Luo feel relieved, and asked with concern: "Then what is your plan in mind? If you have someone you like in your heart, don't be shy, just tell me and I will help you find a solution."

Ning Xuan bit her lip, hesitated for a while before saying: "Ninth Sister, do you really dislike His Royal Highness King Rui?"

Ning Luo was stunned: "Yeah, I don't like him, what's wrong?"

"Why don't you like it?" Ning Xuan's eyes widened, and she asked inexplicably, "His Royal Highness King Rui is gentle and amiable, elegant in speech, handsome, and capable of both civil and military skills. !"

In Ning Xuan's words were unreserved admiration, the light of admiration in her eyes could not even be concealed, a bad feeling suddenly emerged from Ning Luo's heart, she grabbed Ning Xuan's hand and cried out : "Why, do you like..."

Ning Xuan's cheeks were flushed, she lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand, she could clearly see the shyness of her daughter's family in her soft voice: "I...I like him very much, I have dreamed of him these days, Jiumei, if I can To marry him, even as a concubine, I am willing."

Ning Luo was stunned, and it took a long time before she tremblingly said: "You... how could you like him... Seventh sister, this is absolutely impossible!"

"I know I'm not good enough for him," Ning Xuan raised her head, her eyes fell on an unknown place through the vine leaves, with endless regret, "I didn't even think about marrying him, but It’s just a sweet dream once in a while, it’s good that you’ve heard about it, don’t take it to heart.”

This result was beyond Ning Luo's expectation. She really wanted Ning Xuan to have a good talk about Yang Yan's past life, so that Ning Xuan could see Yang Yan's true face clearly, but she understood that it was too late to say anything now. Now, Ning Xuan may not even listen to it. The love at first sight of her daughter's family is enough to beautify the shortcomings of any sweetheart. She entered Ningfu as a concubine.

For the current plan, there is only one tactic of "dragging". As long as Yang Yan and Ning Xuan no longer have intersections, Ning Xuan's heart will gradually fade over time.

At the end of June, the dust of Ning Luo's marriage was finally settled. Emperor Shenghe decreed that Ning Luo, the Duke of Ning's mansion, would be a good match for Wenliang Shuyuan.

This Yang Yan was completely offended. Ning Zhenchuan understood the reason why nights are long and dreamy. Fortunately, the Dingyunhou Mansion also seemed to be extremely anxious. Finally, the auspicious day of the zodiac was set on the sixth day of October.

Ning Heng never expected that his good brother would become a brother-in-law-to-be after only going to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing for a month or two to practice. He worriedly talked to Jing Yun twice, and Jing Yun repeatedly promised to treat Ning Luo There was absolutely no falsehood in his affection, which made the future brother-in-law turn his anger into joy and let him go.

There is no place to comfort lovesickness in the long days before getting married, so Jing Yun had to find excuses to go to Ning Mansion every now and then, hoping to see Ning Luo once in a while, even if he took a peek, he could talk about lovesickness.

It's just that this future old man doesn't care about anything, even though he makes insinuations and hopes, he still remains calm, just reminds him how to get along with his colleagues every day, asks him about his affairs in the Imperial Academy, discusses political affairs with him, and talks about everything. Even local customs and old cases from all over the world were used to discuss with Jing Yun. I have to admit that this Zhongshu master has a lot of knowledge and unique insights. Weng and son-in-law also felt sorry for each other.

This night, Jing Yun finally couldn't hold back, taking advantage of the willow shoots in the moonlight, he became an apprentice who stole incense and jade again.

Standing under the familiar eaves, with lush vegetation and a cool breeze blowing against his face, Jing Yun's heart was a little sweeter than the uneasy feeling last time.

He tapped on the window lattice, and waited for a moment with bated breath. Finally, there was a sound of light footsteps, and a slender and graceful figure stopped in front of the window paper.

"Brother Jing, why are you here..." Ning Luo asked softly.

"Sister Luo, I miss you." Jing Yun stared greedily at the figure, and his usually calm and heavy voice actually contained a bit of grievance, "I won't see you for so many days."

Ning Luo chuckled, but didn't open the window.

"What's wrong?" Jing Yun sensitively sensed Ning Luo's strangeness, "Is something wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Ning Luo from the other side of the window replied in a low voice, "You give this and that every day, and my face is rounded again."

Jing Yun calmed down a bit, and asked again: "Have you tasted the water chestnut I sent today? It was picked from the Qingmi River. It's juicy and tender, and it's good to eat raw or steamed."

"I ate half of the bowl, it's delicious." Ning Luo hesitated for a moment, and put her fingertips on the window sill, but didn't let it fall.There was a question that kept rolling back and forth in her mind, and she couldn't find the answer.

Is the person Jing Yun likes the one she was in the previous life, or the present Ning Luo?

"Brother Jing," she said softly, "I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, do you...do you really like me? Do you really want to marry me, not for other reasons?"

Jing Yun was stunned for a moment, and said solemnly: "Who is chewing tongues in front of you? Naturally, I really like you. Don't worry, I will never do anything treacherous or unlucky. As long as you enter the door, You are the most beloved wife in my life."

Ning Luo opened her mouth, and finally swallowed what she wanted to say.

What is there to blame?Can she pat her chest and guarantee that she is really in love with Jing Yun at this time?All she could promise was her lifelong fidelity.

Perhaps, one day, she will let go of all scruples and tell the secret of her rebirth to her beloved, so that she is qualified to ask who Jing Yun really loves.

"Brother Jing, I understand," she let out a breath, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "However, you can't open the window today. My father said that we can't see each other until we get married."

Another old man.

Jing Yun felt a little disappointed, but said obediently: "Okay, I'll stay here to watch you for a while, you go to sleep."

Ning Luo stretched out her hand, and her slender fingers imprinted on the window paper. Those fingers were like onion roots, and the well-trimmed fingertips were beautifully shaped. Jing Yun's heart felt hot, and he covered his generous palm on it.

The palms are facing each other, and the temperature of the palms hits, warming from the arms to the heart.

"Brother Jing, I miss you too, but if the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night, go to sleep quickly, you will dream of me in your dreams."

There was a smile in Ning Luo's voice, which echoed softly and playfully in Jing Yun's ears. He stared at the figure gradually disappearing, and stayed there for a moment to feel the residual warmth of his palm, and then returned to him contentedly. Hou Fu.

That night the woman in white didn't come, but the figure of Ning Luo who fell into the dream, that playful and soft figure screamed loudly, making people's heart tremble.

"Brother Jing, Brother Jing..."

Early the next morning, Jing Yun went up to the court full of energy, and greeted Ning Zhenchuan confidently. Even in the Imperial Academy, his face was rarely warm, and Zou Zelin was shocked to think that this person had changed his mind.

At the beginning of sunset, when Jing Yun stepped out of the Imperial Academy and was about to return home, a servant who had been waiting for a long time outside the door hurried up to greet him, and asked respectfully, "May I ask, but Mr. Jing Yun, the son of Marquis Dingyun?"

Jing Yun took the reins of the horse handed over by the attendant beside him, and replied casually: "Exactly."

The servant handed over a letter: "My master has a letter for Mr. Jing to read."

Jing Yun took it and glanced at it, only to see that it was hot-painted, obviously it was a secret letter, and he wondered in his heart, who would send it?
