Ordinary clear day

Chapter 201
Since then, Wanning suddenly calmed down and behaved in every way, which greatly relieved the family.Nalashi was a little suspicious at first, but because her daughter said: "I am like this now, what else can I do? I really figured it out." She no longer doubted.

It's just that Wanning still doesn't want to see outsiders. Apart from staying in her own small courtyard, even if she occasionally goes to other places in the mansion, she doesn't want to talk to others. Sometimes she takes her maid to sit in the water pavilion in the garden for a long time , making it easy to find.If the sisters-in-law asked about it, they would say that it was because they were bored and went out to relax.Nala felt sorry for her daughter, so she ordered others not to stop her.

It's just that there are two more maids around Wanning, one of them is Xiaojuan, who is very loyal and clever, which makes Wanning very happy.

Sometimes Shu Ning wanted to go to see her, but her mother always stopped her.Tong said: "Now she doesn't even want to see her two sister-in-laws, and she is very indifferent to her younger brother. You just entered the palace draft with her before, and now you have a finger marriage. Who knows what she will think? It's better not to provoke her Good." Shu Ning was uneasy, and always felt that she should find a chance to visit, but thinking of what she had said to herself in the palace, her heart was a little cold.

Recently, there have been a little twists and turns in the matter between Shu Ning and Tong Ying.The successor Fujin of Prince Jane's Mansion has already arrived in the capital, and she thinks that Xiao Ding should be set on the eighth day of August, and it should be done as soon as possible. She wants to go back to Fengtian as soon as possible.

Tong Shi was not too happy.She had already heard that the following Fujin and the side Fujin were fighting happily, probably because she didn't want to stay in Beijing for too long, but she was unwilling to completely let go to the eldest daughter-in-law, so she wanted to make a quick decision.But for Tong, the eighth day of the eighth day was too hasty, and he might not be fully prepared.She prefers around the Mid-Autumn Festival, because Zhang Bao ordered someone to send a letter home, saying that for the autumn harvest, he was ordered by the chief envoy to patrol around Zhili. Take a day off and go home.Tong very much hoped that her husband could participate in this matter.

But her objection is not the point, because the small official sent by the Ministry of Rites to be in charge of Tong Yingding's wedding suggested that the time should be in late September or later, because the Ministry of Rites had just completed the wedding of the prince, and the fifth elder brother was still busy with the wedding. Seventh elder brother's wedding was followed by several royal family's happy events, hoping to hold down Tong Ying's betrothed betrothed wedding.

So Prince Jian's Mansion fought with the Ministry of Rites, but Tong Ying, the party involved, packed up her bags and went out with Sheng Jia on tour.

Before he left, Tuanning sent a thick letter to Shuning. Although Shuning was happy to receive the letter, she was a little unhappy because she couldn't contact him for more than 20 days.It was very depressing not being able to see each other at first, but now I can't even get through the letter, maybe before the official marriage, I can't even meet occasionally like before.She really hated this "dross" in ancient marriage customs.

Thinking back, the last time we met was already in June. I remember that his face was a little pale at that time, he had dark circles under his eyes, and he was also thinner. It must be because of his hard work.Going out this time will definitely be harder.

Seeing her like this, Duan Ning smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, he is so big, others don't know, don't you know his skills? Thousands of miles of desert have come out, he is here In Chengde, there must be someone waiting for you, so what kind of suffering will you suffer? Besides, he obediently asked someone to make and eat the soup soup recipe you asked me to send, but now he has nothing to do. Now that you have made a few clothes, I am not afraid that he will wear some shabby clothes." At this point, he suppressed his smile and turned his face away, coughed lightly, then turned around and continued: "So, You might as well take this opportunity to calm down, let me take a breather, and stop being a messenger every day."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the letter and said: "This letter is thicker than the previous one. I think it will take more than 20 days to finish writing it?" Shu Ning felt ashamed and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law I have stewed ginseng chicken soup for you, go and drink it." Then he pushed him out of the room.Duan Ning shook his head and sighed as he walked out: "The girl is not allowed to stay. If you have a husband and son-in-law, you don't want your brother. It's really sad—" But there was a teasing smile on his face, and he hated Shu Ning so much. Pushed him out, closed the door and went back to the house to read the letter.

In the letter, Tongying greeted her as usual about her physical condition and the injury on her foot, and talked about what she did recently and anecdotes she heard. Although there were no sweet words, it made people feel very considerate.

In addition, he also mentioned that he plans to buy a house in the future in the future, and plans to move in when he wants to paint or relax.He looked at several places, but he was not sure which one to choose, so he wrote to ask Shuning what she thought.The places he is optimistic about include Jishui Tanbian, Shicha Hainan, Liubukou, Xiaohongluochang, Pichai Hutong and Maxian Hutong.In addition, he is still worrying about whether to build the house himself or buy a ready-made one.

Shu Ning was a little happy in her heart, knowing that he was turning a corner to ask her what she meant for the permanent residence after marriage.It seems that Tongying and herself wanted to go together, and both had the idea of ​​moving outside after marriage. Although it is not easy to separate the family clearly, but like my own family and my fourth uncle's family, we set up separate courtyards outside. Zhuang's, presumably the palace will not stop him.Among the dignitaries in Beijing, there are many families with gardens in other courtyards besides the main house.That being the case, she has to think about it carefully, just like modern people who want to buy a new house when they get married, that's half of her.

She only knows four of the six places that Tongying is optimistic about. Among them, Xiaohongluo Factory is near the Earl's Mansion. Although it is very convenient to go back to her mother's house, it is too close. I wonder if there will be any objections from Prince Jane's Mansion?In the other Liubukou, she remembers passing by, there are several small water pools, together with the first two places, Tongying seems to be very interested in living near the water.It's not surprising to think that when he borrowed in Fangshan Bieyuan, he also lived by the water.She hadn't heard of the other two places, so she had to ask her brother later.

As for whether to build it yourself or buy a ready-made one, each has its own advantages.Building it yourself can ensure that you are satisfied, but it takes a long time, costs a lot of money, and is troublesome.Although Tongying became a shellfish with an annual salary of 300 taels, but for the past two years he had been the Duke of Pu, and his salary was only 500 taels. Save more.However, Tong Ying mentioned in the letter that Prince Jane's mansion has a lot of property, and as one of the legitimate sons, he gets a considerable dividend every year, so he still has ample money, which makes Shu Ning feel a lot easier.It's just that she can't take care of these things clearly, and Tongying has an errand on her side, who is free to take care of building the house?
If you buy a ready-made house, you may save a lot, the key is to save trouble.She thinks that a small house with three entrances is enough, like Xinran's house, it doesn't need to be too big, at most add a small garden.Such a house, according to the price of her fourth uncle's other courtyard a few years ago, can be settled within 2000 taels.It's just that the house you bought may not be what you want.

The last way is to buy a similar house and make some modifications as needed, so the money spent is limited.

Shuning thought about it carefully, and felt that this method was the best.That's it, when she is free someday, she will take a carriage to those places, and then decide which one to choose.

She was thinking about it, but she didn't notice that her mother had entered the room. When she found out, Tong Shi was looking at her with a half-smile.She blushed instantly, quickly put away the letter, pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "When did Er Niang come in? What's the matter looking for my daughter?"

Mrs. Tong said indifferently: "It's nothing. The wives of Fucha's family are here. Didn't you say last time that you wanted to send something to Xinran and her family Xiao Mingyu? Take this opportunity and entrust the Fucha's wife to forward it to you. "

Shu Ning complied, and found some needles and threads, all of which were extremely delicate, including some children's clothes and two pairs of small shoes, which were very childish and cute.She said: "I haven't seen Mingyu, I don't know how old she is now, I made this according to the size of Brother Xian when he was seven or eight months old, as long as he is not too small, he can wear it sooner or later. "

Mrs. Tong looked at the shoes several times and found them very cute, so she said, "It's also very happy to make two small rings like this, and use them as ornaments. Would you like to go out and meet? Say hello to Mrs. Fucha's family? "

Shocked, Shu Ning hurriedly said: "No need, I have been teased so much by the wives this month, I don't want to send it to my door automatically."

Tong couldn't help laughing: "Okay, then my mother will go first." After a pause, she put on a half-smile again, and said softly: "Put your things away, don't let outsiders see them. "He left.

After Shuning understood what she meant, she felt her face was burning hot, and hurriedly put away the letter, and put it in a box next to the dressing box, together with the previous letter.

=========================== I am the dividing line for changing topics ====================== ======
In the evening, when Mrs. Tong talked about the intentions of the wives from Fucha's family during the day, Shuning was very surprised.It turned out that the eldest aunt Nalashi specially posted a post to invite them to come. She only said that she wanted to enjoy the newly blooming sweet-scented osmanthus in the garden at home, but she actually wanted to get married.

Among the wives of the other party, there is a wife of Ma Sika, the Minister of Internal Affairs, who has a son named Ma Long, who was originally a friend of Duan Ning Cheng Ning's generation.This person looks decent, but his literary talent is mediocre, and his martial arts are not outstanding. He only donated a fifth-rank dragon guard, and has never been an official.Because he is good at management, he is in charge of more than half of the family's property, so he also has some status in the family.He once swore that to marry a wife, he must marry a stunning woman, but because he has no intention of official career, outsiders think he is just a dude, and some prestigious families are not willing to marry their daughters to him, but his family is unwilling to give up. The family is small, so the marriage has not been settled.

Nala didn't think much of him at first, but the matter of his daughter became so big that the few families who were optimistic about him no longer mentioned the matter of marriage, so they had to focus on Ma Long.The other party has no official position, and was born in a famous Fucha family. Uncle Ma Qi is one of the most important people of the emperor.What's even more rare is that what the other party only asks for is the stunning background of everyone, and Wanning fits this point.

The Mrs. Muska seemed to be a little moved, and said that she would go back and ask her son what he meant, but she made it clear that she must be sure that the girl put down the sign.Nalashi was naturally very happy, as long as the fifth elder brother didn't bother him anymore, it wouldn't be difficult to put up the sign.

After listening to her mother's narration, Shuning's expression turned ugly.She remembered Ma Long, who seemed to have been one of sister-in-law Zhenzhen's admirers in the past.He doesn't sound sincere or not, as long as the other party is a beauty, he is interested.If Wanning really became this person's wife because of her beauty, what should she do if her beauty fades when she gets older?Not to mention that the other party is likely to accept many beautiful concubines.It is sad that Israel serves people, how could Wanning accept this marriage?If she doesn't accept it and her parents force her, what should she do?
Shu Ning began to worry about Wan Ning, Duan Ning saw this but said: "In fact, Ma Long is not that bad, he has a straightforward temper, is very filial to his parents, has a wide range of friends, and although he is good at business and calculation, he is frank and honest." , will not be annoying. He likes beautiful women, it is an old problem, but he never stalks, as long as the other party expressly refuses, or makes a marriage, he will stop entangled. As a friend, he is actually a good person .”

After hearing this, Shu Ning felt better, but this person loves beauty, which is never a good thing. Wan Ning would never accept a man who would fall in love with other beauties as her husband anytime, anywhere.

However, Wanning's wishes were not taken seriously at this time.Nala seems to have made up her mind, and planned to ask the other empresses in the palace for help after the fifth elder brother's wedding, put down her daughter's sign, and then immediately make an engagement for her daughter, trying to get her married next year.Although Ma Long didn't have a real deficiency, he was born in a famous family. His father and uncle were all high-ranking officials, and his family background was also rich. He had a good temper and didn't dislike his daughter.If this opportunity is missed again, the daughter will have to marry out of town.

Wanning couldn't protest again and again, so she had no choice but to give up. After one night, she proposed that now that there are rumors in the capital, she wants to avoid the capital for a while, and wait until the matter cools down.Now that fifth elder brother is not in Beijing, she left first, and she is not afraid of him coming again in the future.When the matter is over, maybe Empress Yifei will take the initiative to put down her brand when she calms down.Besides, it would be good for the Malone family too.

Nala was persuaded by her and agreed to send her to Baoding Zhuangzi to recuperate for a while. Zhang Bao was an official there, so he could take care of her for a while.She specifically begged Tong, and the latter agreed to take care of Wanning more after her daughter passed Xiaoding and returned to Baoding.

Wanning thanked the third aunt according to her mother's order, but she thought it would be better to leave Beijing as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.Moreover, you don't need to bring too many people with you when driving out of Beijing. You just need Mama Jin's husband Jin Da to lead the way, Brother Fang Qing, another servant, and a few maids from her. Right and wrong.She even thought about what luggage she would bring when she left Beijing, handed in a list, everything was organized, meticulous and thoughtful.

Nala was very relieved, feeling that her daughter was finally sensible and made great progress in housework.Although she felt that some items on the list were unnecessary, but because of her daughter's insistence, she followed suit and added another woman and the car.After two days, the daughter was sent out of Beijing.

It was only the next day that Jin Daxie came back with the woman and Qiaoyun Yanyunyuehe, and pleaded guilty to Nala in tears, saying that he had lost the girl. Brother Fang Qing, the maid Xiaojuan and another man The servant is gone too.Nala immediately passed out, finally woke up, and learned that her daughter had lingered all the way, and when she arrived in Wanping for the night, she suddenly disappeared. He also took away two bags of clothes and a lot of silver.Nala became furious and fainted again.

When Mrs. Tong received the report, she immediately took her daughter-in-law to the main room of Zhuyuan. When she heard Mrs. Li ordered the housekeeper to take someone back to retrieve the girl, she hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't make a big fuss! This is not a good thing at all, and you should find it if you want it." Look for it quietly, if people find out, even if the second girl comes back, she won't be able to see anyone again!"

It was also the first time for Mrs. Li to encounter such a thing, so she was a little panicked. When she heard Mrs. Tong's words, she immediately came to her senses: "Auntie is right, it's my nephew and daughter-in-law who are confused. Mr. Wu, please explain it to me Let the servants inquire quietly." Wu Xinda hastily agreed.Tong added: "In the mansion, we have to restrain people from talking freely. It would be bad if it spreads outside. Therefore, the people sent to find must be reliable and tight-lipped. If anyone asks, just Say that the second girl has gone to Baoding Manor, don't mention anything else." Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xitara hurriedly agreed.

Seeing that Li's other affairs were well arranged, Mrs. Tong stopped intervening. She only comforted Mrs. Nala for half a day before returning to Huaiyuan.

Shu Ning only felt that she was in a panic. She grabbed Qiao Yun and they kept asking, but the girls only knew how to cry. Although Yue He was better, she couldn't tell what was going on, she only knew that Wan Ning He left with his own people.Where did she go?This place can't compare to the peace of the 21st century. Even if she brings a few servants, after all, there are few people, but she has so much money with her, and she is not familiar with the place outside, what should she do if something happens to her?
She was still worried here, but Tong Shi on the other side thought for a while and made a decision: "Send someone to Prince Jane's residence immediately, and we will follow their wishes to celebrate Xiaoding on the eighth day of the day after tomorrow, so don't wait any longer! "
