Ordinary clear day

Chapter 115
Shuning heard the sound and looked, and saw a girl about her own age coming, wearing a purple Mongolian gown, the whole body was very luxurious, the hat on her head had many pearls and gemstones hanging down, she was quite pretty, It's just that her face was a little arrogant, which slightly spoiled her beauty.

Who is this?Shu Ning thought about it again, could it be that Mongolian Ge Ge that Lu Chan mentioned yesterday?
Before she could ask, the girl spoke first: "Who are you? Why don't I know you?" Glancing at the belt in her hand, she raised her eyebrows: "Could it be that you are also here to pester Brother Duanning? What a shame! He won't use what you make!"

baffling!Who does this little girl think she is? !Shu Ning was annoyed, her face darkened, she turned her head and said to Duanning: "Brother, which family's lady is this, why are you so rude?"

"Presumptuous!" A boy suddenly appeared behind the little Mongolian girl, who seemed to be about the same age as Duanning, with a thin face and small eyes, "This is the princess of the Horqin Borzigit clan, please don't be rude!" After hearing this, Duan Ning became angry: "Yucheng! This is my sister, how can you talk like that?!" Yucheng flinched, and said softly: "I... am I just telling the truth, how can she scold Princess... ..."

The girl calmed down, raised her chin slightly to Shuning and said: "So you are Duanning's younger sister, that's all, I don't care about what you said to me, step aside, I want to talk to your brother."

What are you kidding? !Shu Ning raised her eyebrows, and said: "This Gege suddenly broke into the inner courtyard of my house, and yelled at my brother and sister. He didn't know why he came here? Besides, you came to our house in red and green, what is it?" mean?"

The girl looked at her clothes, and said: "What's wrong with me wearing this? I want to talk to your brother, why do you interrupt?" After finishing speaking, she ignored Shuning, turned her head and said to Duanning, "Why are you alone?" Running vigorously? Didn’t you hear me calling you? You’ve been back to the capital for so long, and you didn’t come to see me. I’m going back to Horqin soon, so I came to see you today dressed up, so you’re fine. Tell me?" He smiled and showed off his fine clothes.

Shu Ning secretly cursed in her heart: I have met Xiaobai all the time in the past two days, what's going on with this Mongolian princess?
With a straight face, Duanning squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Nadanzhu Gege, you should go back earlier, it's really unseemly for you to chase after me like this. Besides, my family is still in mourning. It's really inappropriate for Ge Ge to come to my house dressed like this."

Na Danzhu frowned after hearing this: "What kind of rules are you guys doing here? Is there anything wrong with me dressing up nicely to meet the person I like?" Yucheng echoed with a flattering smile: "Why is it wrong? It’s a good look, and everyone will like it.”

Duanning's face darkened: "Yucheng, how could I have a classmate like you? Gege is young and doesn't know etiquette, don't you know too? You will only make me look down on you!" Then he turned his head and said to Na Danzhu : "Gege, you like to dress up so gorgeously, so just dress like this, but our family is in mourning, I'm afraid it doesn't fit in with your dress, you should go back early. I want to study at home, and it is inconvenient to go out to visit friends. "

Seeing that Duanning was angry, Na Danzhu flattened her mouth and said, "Okay, you don't like me dressed like this, so next time I will wear other clothes. It's just that you can go to school, why don't you come to me? You also returned the fan bag that Yucheng sent me. I am very sad."

Duan Ning was even more sad when he heard this: "Ge Ge, as I said, you are still young and don't know what liking is. In fact, Ge Ge and I don't have the same temperament, and I don't dare to climb high. Ge Ge should stop having this kind of private relationship." It's a matter of giving and receiving, and it will damage your boudoir reputation."

But Na Danzhu didn't listen: "If you like it, you just like it. I don't care about that. I am the second most beautiful woman on the Horqin Grassland. Except for my sister, no one can compare to me. I like you. Why do you still push me?" Three pushes?" She pushed Duanning and asked, "What do you think is wrong with me? I want you to run away as soon as you see me?"

"You...you are still young..."

"What's the reason? I'll grow up soon, my sister is only two years older than me, and she's going to get married in three days!"

"You... your status is too noble, I dare not climb high!"

"What does it matter? As long as I like it, my father will definitely agree. When the time comes, you will go back with us and be appointed as an official. You can be an official as you like. Who will say that you are not high?"

Duanning used to just have a headache, but now he is a little bit out of anger.He is also a child of a meritorious family, although he is not as noble as her, but he is not enough to rely on his nepotism to get to the top, so he immediately turned cold: "Ge Ge needless to say, Duan Ning has no talent or virtue, he is not worthy of Ge Ge, you Please go back." Then he made a bow and turned his head to ignore him.

Seeing him like this, Na Danzhu also turned cold: "Are you trying to show my face? Last year you ran to the south without saying hello, and didn't look for me when you came back. If I didn't come to the door by myself, Are you going to pretend that you don’t know me? You don’t even come to see me when I leave? Who do you think I am? Don’t be ashamed!!!”

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, Shu Ning began to feel nervous.Although I really don't want to see this princess, and I really want to scold him, but the other party is noble after all, so I don't want to offend him too much.

But she soon breathed a sigh of relief, because the Tong family who went to the bamboo courtyard finally came back.

Mrs. Tong took a look at everyone, and just that one glance greatly diluted the tense atmosphere of the scene: "What's the matter? Duan Ning Shuning, since there are guests coming, why don't you invite them to sit in the room? It's too impolite gone."

Duanning and his sister looked at each other, obediently admitted their mistake, and politely invited Na Danzhu and Yucheng into the main room to serve tea.Na Danzhu didn't turn her head around: "What are you doing? You suddenly put on this look."

Tong smiled lightly and said: "Children are ignorant, it's too rude, Gege don't take offense, they are always guests when they pass through the door, please come in and have a cup of tea?" Then he gestured to Yucheng.Yucheng gently persuaded Na Danzhu, and she followed in with doubts.

Tong's next actions were very dignified and noble, but her words and deeds were very amiable. Na Danzhu showed no arrogance in front of her at all.Duan Ning and Shu Ning stood beside her respectfully, accepted her mother's lesson very humbly, and then listened to the conversation between her mother and Na Danzhu very politely.

Tong first talked a lot about the weather, tea, etc., then insinuated about Na Danzhu's family background, and then flattered her gorgeous clothes. The clothes in plain colors came, and then she said that her sister was about to get married, and it was probably not auspicious for her mother's family to enter and leave the mourning house.She made Na Danzhu dizzy all the time, thinking that Mrs. Tong was the kindest person in the world, so she left happily.

Although Duanning was extremely unwilling, he followed her and sent Na Danzhu and Yucheng out of the house under Tong's fierce gaze.After returning to the house, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave a big gift to his mother: "Thank you, Er Niang, if Er Niang didn't come back, my son wouldn't know what to do."

Tong Shi and Shu Ning glanced at each other, and the latter was snickering.Duanning was puzzled, Tong smiled and said: "It was your sister who quietly asked someone to invite me back, otherwise you would be making trouble in this courtyard, and I am so far away, how could I know?" Thanks to my sister.

Shu Ning said with a smile: "In the past, my brother always looked like an old god, and I didn't expect that there would be times when he was at a loss. I saw it so funny." Duan Ning said bitterly: "My brother has a headache, and you still only care about it." Laugh at me."

He sighed and smiled bitterly: "Actually, Na Danzhu was not like this when we first met. Last spring, her father sent her sister to Beijing to prepare for this year's draft, and she also came to see the world. My first When I saw her back, it was at a certain county king's banquet. She was sitting alone, out of tune with everyone else, it's pitiful."

He glanced at Shu Ning, and then said: "I saw that she was about the same age as my younger sister, so I softened my heart for a moment, and sat with her for a while. She was a bit arrogant at first, but later became very well-behaved. I treat her like a little sister , often coaxing her. Unexpectedly, after meeting a few times, she suddenly said that she likes me and wants to marry me. If the woman said one more word, she would get angry, and even when I went out with my friends, she would follow. I couldn't stand it, and as soon as I heard that Ama and her younger sister were injured in Guangzhou, I immediately left the capital."

Shu Ning felt great sympathy when she heard this, she was from a good background, was handsome in both civil and military skills, and was gentle and considerate to girls, how could there be girls who wouldn't like them?Although Na Danzhu is a little younger, it is not uncommon for women to have such thoughts in the age when women generally marry early.

She rolled her eyes and joked: "It turns out that my brother came to Guangzhou to avoid this bad relationship. I thought it was for me and Ama." Duanning laughed and scolded: "You little heartless, I If you want to avoid her, just stay in Baoding Zhuangzi for two days, why go all the way to Guangzhou? Of course it's for you and Ama!" After saying that, she wanted to pinch her nose, but Shuning smiled and avoided it.

Tong stopped her children from fighting, and said: "I just heard from her that she is the niece of the current Prince Horqin?" Duanning nodded: "Her father is a Taiji, and the current Prince Horqin does not have a daughter. Ask your niece to run for the election." He came to his senses: "So, her sister is probably here for the palace, but for some reason she was accused of being Prince Kang's son."

Shu Ning was startled, and hurriedly said: "Prince Kang's son? Isn't the sister of the Su family just marrying him?" Tong Shi said: "Exactly, your sister Su is a side Fujin, and I heard that Fujin will be married in three days. " Shu Ning was a little worried when she heard the words: "I don't know what will happen to Sister Su, I haven't heard from her in these years." Tong Shi said softly: "Don't worry, they are relatives after all, nothing will happen."

However, she was a little worried about Duanning's affairs: "Although I persuaded this Mongolian Gege to leave today, I don't know what will happen in the future. I think her temperament is really not a good match for Duaner, but if she wants to refuse, I'm afraid It will hurt her family's face. Besides, her sister married into Prince Kang's mansion, she is the banner owner of our family, just for the sake of the old prince, we can't offend their family too much. "

Shu Ning thought for a while, but came to a different opinion: "According to me, it's better to ask Prince Kang to help with the matter. Our family is still observing filial piety, and Na Danzhu came in gorgeously dressed. It’s too much for her daughter to be careless. Please let their family discipline their daughter well?”

Duan Ning sneered: "Will they listen? Na Danzhu is very favored at home." Shu Ning said: "No matter how favored she is, the family will have plans. Na Danzhu's sister will come in more than a year in advance. Beijing is preparing for the draft, so it can be seen that she attaches great importance to it. If it is really for the harem as my brother said, then after her sister is accused of marriage, there will be only Na Danzhu left. How could their family marry their daughter? What about my brother?"

Duanning listened thoughtfully.Tong said: "I will discuss this matter with you, Ama, and you don't want to mention it for now. Duan'er just stays at home these few days and doesn't go out. Anyway, our family is still keeping filial piety, even if someone wants to help you When talking about a relationship, you have to be full of filial piety." She paused, then smiled: "If this Ge Ge comes to the door again, you don't push back hard, and you have to be tactful and polite, you know?"

Duan Ning and Shu Ning looked at each other, smiling and Qi Qi agreed.

================================================================================================================================================= ===
That night, Mrs. Tong told Zhang Bao what happened during the day, and Zhang Bao frowned: "What a fate! Can Horqin's women be provoked? Why is Duan'er so careless?"

Tong's voice said softly: "My son just felt compassion for her when he saw her young age. Who knew that she would be so difficult? Now, I ask my husband to find a way to solve this trouble for my son. I have already thought about the candidate for my daughter-in-law, but I don't want my son to marry such a savage girl."

Zhang Bao smiled: "Actually, what Shuning said makes sense. Horqin is probably planning to send people into the palace again. I think the harem of our Qing Dynasty has always been dominated by Horqin women. But since the emperor ascended the throne, apart from The concubine Hui who passed away early has never had the head of the harem with the surname Borzigit. Presumably the people of Horqin are not happy, right? Now that the queen is vacant, they must be itching, Babaer I sent a princess here, but it was pointed out to someone else."

Tong said: "So, they will definitely not promise Na Danzhu to our son?" Zhang Bao shook his head: "Who knows? If the emperor really wants to make another Horqin empress, just make an order, why bother?" Need to go through the draft? And the empress dowager left the capital ahead of time. If Horqin understands the holy will, maybe he will choose another son-in-law for Gege at home." Tong said thoughtfully: "If they are not reconciled, then Will try again in three years..."

Zhang Bao pondered for a moment, and said: "I will go to my elder brother early tomorrow morning and ask him to ask Prince Kang to talk about it. He said that we are in the period of observing filial piety, so it is not convenient to talk about marriage, and then let my son go to Fangshan for a few days. Once Prince Chuntai's wedding is over and he leaves, it will be all right."

Mrs. Tong hurriedly asked: "What about after the service is full?" Zhang Bao smiled: "At that time, we should make an engagement for our son earlier. Don't you already have a candidate?" Mrs. Tong laughed.

The next day, Zhang Bao really invited Jin Bao to intercede. Jin Bao had already received the letter the night before, and he agreed without hesitation.Duanning got his mother's suggestion early to go to Fangshan to "supervise" the renovation project of the house, and "learn economic practice" by the way.

In the absence of her elder brother, Shu Ning had to be responsible for teaching her two younger brothers homework, learning housework management from her mother, and practicing writing and female red. She became very busy. I heard that Yumin came here twice and that Wanning's embroidery has improved again.

After her homework study class came to an end, Tong said to her: "Your grandmother sent some materials, and one of them, I think, is quite suitable for your elder sister. You can send it to her." Shuning responded Yes, I took the fabric and a newly made purse and walked towards the bamboo courtyard.

As soon as he walked to the bamboo courtyard, he saw a tall and handsome young man standing outside Wanning's small courtyard, with his back turned to him, looking into the small courtyard.Hearing the sound, he turned his head, his eyes were deep, which made Shuning stare blankly.
