Chapter 103: The Ni Family's Father and Daughter
Xuan Yu Feng smiled and said: "Are you your aunt and this stepmother for nothing? Since I know that the Ni family wants to make my good righteous daughter a concubine, I still don't keep an eye on them?"
Sheng Weiqiao was still suspicious: "This is not Nanfeng County, we are new here, I don't even know where the doors of the people in Yizhou City are facing!
"This is really stupid, do I need to make my own eyeliner?" Xuan Yu Feng Shi laughed, "Have you forgotten Wu Da Boss? Their Jishan thieves have been surrounded and suppressed by the Western Xinjiang Army several times, although in recent years, Ni Jidao has been busy embezzling and taking bribes, and they have turned a blind eye to the bandits up and down the Western Xinjiang, but for Wu Da Boss, the movements of the border army must be kept a close eye on, and Ni Jidao and other generals naturally put a few eyeliners in their homes to rest assured...... Although the Ni family plans to send their daughter-in-law to Meng Jiaqian to be a child, but Meng Jiaqian's wife is not in Western Xinjiang, and the Ni family plans to let their daughter pass through the door and give Meng Jiaqian the family here. What's so hard about this movement?"
"But how to manage this matter?" Sheng Weiqiao muttered, "If you bring it up directly with the Ni family, I'm afraid it will expose the eyes of the Wu family, right? If you find an excuse to take Ni Yanying over to live or something, the Ni family is not unable to refuse." ”
Xuan Yu Feng said: "Isn't this the reason why I came to you? If my stepmother wants to see Ni Yanying, the Ni family may refuse." But if you want to summon her, the maid sent to deliver the message is arrogant and domineering, and the Ni family will have to weigh it to some extent. ”
Sheng Weiqiao said: "Since you recognize Ni Yanying as a righteous daughter, no matter how much you really value her in your heart, I can't ask her to be small." Otherwise, it's not just me, it's the third sister and the seventh sister, how can they get face in the future? This ideal must be clear in the Ni family's heart. At this time, they still have to let Ni Yanying serve Meng Jiaqian according to the original plan, but I am afraid that most of them have any plans?"
"What do you mean......?" Xuan Yu Feng frowned, she was somewhat sympathetic to Ni Yanying's experience, but she was willing to accept her as a righteous daughter, in the final analysis, she had a calculating mind. If you want to say that you sincerely think about this righteous girl, it is naturally impossible, after all, the old lady in charge of the Xuan Yu family is not the kind of person who is soft-hearted and easy to impress.
Therefore, after receiving the righteous daughter affectionately in front of everyone that day, he turned his head and asked Wu Da's subordinates to help pay attention, and he didn't care anymore, he seemed to be leisurely for the past two days, but in fact, he had been secretly staring at Sheng Weiqiao's actions.
After thinking about it at this moment, he asked, "Do you suspect that the Ni family has set some trap and are waiting for us to intervene?"
"After all, it's better to guard against it. Sheng Weiqiao said, "After all, we are new to the city, and we don't know much about this Miss Ni, who knows if she is really desperate to ask for you, or is she under the orders of her family, pretending to be pitiful and digging a pit for us?"
Xuan Yu Feng thought for a while and said, "What you said is that since this is the case, then let's ask about it in a decent manner." If Ni Yanying has bad intentions, she was brought over by Meng Jiaqian to be a concubine, and she deserves it! If she really wants us to pull her, we have already helped, but if we don't help, we should hate her blood relatives if you want to hate her. After all, we are not related to her, and it is kind and righteous to be able to stand up and say two sentences. ”
"If she is angry with us in this way, she deserves a good end with such a heart. ”
Anyway, it is a righteous daughter who has no feelings, Xuan Yu Feng is not very concerned about Ni Yanying's fate, and laughed as she said it at the moment, squinting at Sheng Weiqiao, "What? Are you happy? Your aunt is still the most hurt by you, but she was not snatched away by her cousin who suddenly appeared!"
Sheng Wei Qiao said solemnly: "Auntie, how can you think of me like this? Am I the kind of person who is jealous all the time? I am just for your good, so I think about it more!"
Xuan Yu Feng just sneered at this and waved his hand, obviously not believing it at all.
"You take my post to Ni's house, and ask Miss Biao to come over and talk. Sheng Weiqiao came to her in a huff, returned to his yard, and shouted to the fence, "Remember to be arrogant, if they find any excuse to shirk, how much of a pungent temperament, let them know that we are not something they can offend casually." ”
Jin Li agreed, Sheng Weiqiao pinched his eyebrows, and secretly speculated whether Ni Yanying was friend or foe?
And at this moment, in the Ni Mansion, Ni Yanying was respectfully saying to her father Ni Jidao: "Daddy, don't worry, then Old Madam Feng said that she is the aunt of the princess of the county, but she is not sealed on her body, and she is just a people's woman! Your daughter is your daughter-in-law, a serious official lady, worship under her knees as a righteous daughter, she doesn't know how proud she is! Besides, the King of Mizhen County and General Meng are not the same faction, at this time, Old Madam Feng heard that you are going to give your daughter to General Meng as a concubine, how can she not stand up?"
Ni Jidao frowned and said: "Although you have always been sensible and considerate, this time you are too good at asserting! My father promised General Meng early in the morning that he would send you to serve in the palace, and he also promised to treat you as a wife in Western Xinjiang. Now that you get such a stepmother out, it's good if you can take advantage of Mizhen when you turn around, but if you can't take advantage of it, not only will you delay the opportunity to serve General Meng, but you will make him think you are restless!"
"Daddy!" Ni Yanying shouted coquettishly, making a look of resentment, "You don't want to think about it, General Meng is young and romantic, has a good background, and is so handsome! In this case, who doesn't like it? I heard that he is in the northern Xinjiang, in addition to his wife, there are many concubines, and there are even more concubines, concubines, beautiful maids, and so on! Even though the daughter has a bit of color, to be honest, she is not a top beauty at all! If she compares it with a beautiful woman with delicate eyebrows and eyes like the princess of the county, it is even more bleak!"
"If his daughter just went over to serve General Meng like this, even if he promised to be very kind to his daughter when he was in the western Xinjiang, but after a long time, the novelty passed, how could his daughter stand out among his many wives and concubines?!"
Speaking of this, seeing Ni Jidao bowing slightly, she spread her hands, "No, I just wanted to try it that day, did this aunt brought by the princess of the county have any loopholes, since she was fooled, why did you say that your daughter didn't gamble on this? If she wins, not only can her daughter be treated differently by General Meng, but also give your father a long face?"
"Even if you lose, with your father and General Meng here, Old Madam Feng and the princess of the county, how can you take your daughter? At that time, the daughter will at most enter General Meng's mansion later!"
"Don't think it's okay to be late!" Ni Jidao said busily, "Your Uncle Dai Shi and Uncle Lou Shi also have a daughter under their knees, who knows if they will take advantage of this?"
Ni Yanying said confidently: "The two sisters of the Dai family and the two sisters of the Lou family, their daughters are very familiar with each other! What are they like, and their daughters don't know it anymore! None of them are their daughter's opponents! If they look back, they will be okay, if they are not interesting, even if they are the first to enter the door, it is not their daughter's boasting, it may not be them who have the last laugh!"
Ni Jidao has always known that his daughter is smart and has ideas, although he can't say that he can help him with official affairs, but ordinary trivial matters, but he often helps to share his worries, and nodded secretly when he heard the words, but he was still not very satisfied and said: "If you don't change your proud nature, you will pretend to be successful when you look back, and you will suffer!"
"Isn't there still a father here?" Ni Yanying hugged his arm affectionately, and said in a coquettish voice, "You are the pillar of our Ni family, and you are also the most reliable backer of your daughter! As long as you are here, your daughter is the pearl of the Zhongwu general's palm!
General Zhongwu is on the fourth grade, and this grade is simply everywhere in Chang'an, but in the frontier, especially in the army, it is a first-class high position. After all, General Zhou was only the general who returned to Germany from the third grade.
Ni Jidao relied on his father's shadow, and it was easier to get started, but he also threw his head and spilled his blood to kill this position.
Although over the years, because there is nothing to worry about in the peace and stability of Western Xinjiang, and the imperial court has not paid much attention to it, it has unconsciously changed from a brave and warlike general to a despised corrupt officer, but when it comes to official positions, Ni Jidao is still very proud.
At this moment, I couldn't help but smile slightly: "People who are about to leave the cabinet are still so coquettish!"
"Doesn't this mean that I know that my father loves my daughter!" There was a bit of reproach in his tone, but Ni Yanying didn't care, shook his arm with a smile, and said, "By the way, Daddy, my daughter was at the banquet in the Assassin's Mansion before, and I saw a hairpin worn by the princess of the county, which seemed to be called the silver fetus gilt silk dotted emerald phoenix hairpin, so beautiful!
Ni Jidao said: "What nonsense! She is the princess of the county, and she can only pay it back if she wears a phoenix hairpin, you are just a courtier, wearing this hairpin, let people know, can you not trouble your father!"
Ni Yanying said sweetly: "Oh daddy, my daughter only needs one of the same, and she can replace the phoenix with a blue bird or a parrot, anyway, the finch head in the hairpin ring looks similar at first glance...... You just promised your daughter!"
He also said, "When I turned around my daughter and walked around the Thorn Mansion, there were not a few decent hairpin rings, and the people at the bottom over there also looked down on my daughter, didn't they?"
Ni Jidao couldn't help but entangle her, and thought that this daughter was thinking about herself with all her might, and after thinking about it, she nodded in the end: "Then you can go to the account and pay a sum of money later, and go to the shop to make a similar one......"
After saying this, I thought about it, felt distressed, and couldn't help but say, "Actually, since you are pretending to be pitiful and coaxing the Feng family's people's women, and then you will be a little inferior in dressing, maybe their aunts and nephews will be more sympathetic to your situation, so they will have to buy you a good suit from beginning to end!"
"Daddy, Old Madam Feng, they may have this kind of instrument, but their close attendants are not. Ni Yanying hurriedly explained, "When the time comes, if the daughter is excluded by the partner, the daughter will definitely not be able to sue in order to maintain a good impression in front of Mrs. Feng and the princess of the county." In this way, let alone bribing them to help find out the news, it would be good not to be stared at by them to find faults!
Ni Jidao thought about it, and then nodded: "Then you go, if you need anything, just come and tell your father!"
Ni Yanying said goodbye to him with a smile and jumped out.
She just left Ni Jidao, looked at no one left and right, and her face sank, just like the sky before the heavy rain, the cold air was overflowing, and her eyes also showed resentment, she spat fiercely on the ground, and cursed in a low voice: "The old thing with a black heart! I am so hard to please you, and I am filial piety and thoughtfulness in a different way, what is the picture?!"
Isn't it that Ni Jidao can be particularly fond of her daughter, so that she is particularly attentive to her family affairs? !
As a result, after all these years of painstaking flattery, Ni Jidao really remembered her as a daughter, but instead of finding her a well-known and talented and beautiful Ruyi Langjun, she was asked to be a child!
If it weren't for pretending to be used to it in front of people, Ni Yanying almost wanted to pick up the half-human-high bottle at hand when she knew the news, smash it on the head of this father, and smash him to death!
"Not now, I have to endure it again!" she held the hand hidden in her sleeve vigorously, and persuaded herself in her own words, "Old Madam Feng is willing to recognize me as a righteous daughter, this is a very good start, no matter what the idea of the Mizhen County Palace, in short, I persuaded the old thing, and promised to let me have more contact with Old Madam Feng and them in the future, and the power of King Gaomi's faction should be able to borrow...... But even if you borrow this power, it's not time to turn your face with the old thing for the time being...... I'm going to have to keep pretending!"
She squinted slightly, a cold glint in her eyes, "When I don't need to be patient anymore...... I can't kill you old thief!!"
…… Sheng Weiqiao didn't know about the Ni family's father and daughter, when she sent Jinli to Ni's mansion to pick up Ni Yanying, she was mentally prepared for the Ni family to stop her, but the Ni family did show reluctance, but after Jinli had a seizure as instructed, the Zhang family took Ni Yanying out.
When he received the report that Jin Li accompanied Ni Yanying to the backyard, Sheng Weiqiao was still a little confused, and said in his heart, What is going on with the Ni family? Since he has stood in the Meng family, how can he avoid suspicion of the son and daughter-in-law of King Gaomi!
Ni Yanying herself either has a request for Xuanyu Feng, or she is young and ignorant, so she can't pay it back, what do Ni Jidao and his wife think?
Or is there really some conspiracy on the part of the Ni family?
But a girl who is only fifteen years old has entered the Assassin's Mansion alone, what storms can she make?
Sheng Weiqiao felt that he couldn't figure it out.
However, doubts are doubts, after all, Xuan Yu Feng recognized Ni Yanying, the righteous daughter, in public, and she could only brace her spirit and warmly entertain her "cousin".
When Sheng Weiqiao and Ni Yanying were greeting each other, they were thousands of miles away in Chang'an.
Chongxin Hou Mansion, front yard, study.
The maid Huayan was a little frightened and walked into the door with a tray.
