48 Ning Qiao
Shu Heng, who left Beijing for the first time after getting married, couldn't sleep on the first night, thinking about Ning Xi in Beijing, I don't know if he had eaten well in Ning Xi without him, but when I thought of Ning Xi's temperament, I felt that I thought too much, he was not there, probably Ning Xi would eat more deliciously.
I have to say that Shu Heng still knows Ning Xi quite well, on the first day he left, Ning Xi ate and drank as usual, and he didn't notice anything wrong, but when he went to bed at night, Ning Xi actually had insomnia.
Ning Xi opened her eyes and stared blankly at the bed curtain above her head, thinking about the time when she first got married, she was not used to having one more person lying next to her, but now she sleeps alone but feels empty in her heart, sure enough, habit is a terrible thing.
Ning Xi was bored for a few days, and then received Xu's post, it was Xu's who held a banquet in the British government, and invited Ning Xi to attend, Ning Xi was happy, and he could go out to play, on the same day, Ning Xi got up early and went out after informing Shu's mother.
As soon as he entered the second gate of the British Mansion, Tang Yuan, who was already two years old, rushed over, Ning Xi picked him up and said with a smile: "The longer I grow, the fatter I get, the third aunt can't hold it anymore." ”
Xiao Tangyuan hugged Ning Xi's neck and said with a smile: "Father said that Tangyuan is not fat, so the third aunt will not be unable to hold it." ”
It happened that Ning Yu walked over on the back foot, and when she heard the words, she said to Ning Xi: "It's all Xu Yifan's habit, and they are all about to become a little chubby." ”
Ning Xi glanced at Ning Yu: "Children are cute when they are fat." ”
Ning Yu shrugged her shoulders, how could she forget that in addition to the people in the Anguo Mansion, Ning Xi's favorite tangyuan was the most, but her own mother looked like a stepmother.
Yang Suyun came out with her daughter in her arms, and when she saw Ning Xi and both of them standing at the door, she said with a smile: "Why are you staying here, go in and sit down." ”
When Tang Yuan saw his little sister, he jumped down from Ning Xi's body, ran to Yang Xuyun, and looked at the little girl in Yang Xuyun's arms greedily: "Uncle, can I play with my sister?" ”
Yang Suyun handed her daughter to the nurse beside her, touched Tang Yuan's head, and said gently: "It's okay, but my sister is still young, Tang Yuan has to take care of my sister for my aunt, okay?" ”
Xu realized that he had a great responsibility, Tang Yuan made a straight face, nodded solemnly, and that look amused the three people present, and then Tang Yuan followed the nurse to the side to play.
Ning Xi walked to the backyard with Yang Suyun, and asked as she walked, "How did the eldest aunt remember to hold a banquet?" She remembered that her aunt didn't like to do these things.
Yang Suyun shook her head: "It's not that my mother wants to do it, it's the third aunt who is making trouble for my mother to do it." ”
Ning Xi was a little surprised, what kind of trouble was Xiao Qin's family doing. Ning Yu on the side was also puzzled when she heard it.
A faint smile rose at the corner of Yang Suyun's mouth: "The fourth sister is fifteen years old, and she hasn't found her in-law yet, so the third aunt should be in a hurry." ”
Because of what Ning Qiao did on the day Ning Xi returned to the door, Ning Qiao was locked up by Xiao Qin's family for a while, and the family affairs that Xiao Qin's favored before naturally did not become, plus Xu's also wanted to teach Ning Qiao a lesson, Ning Qiao's marriage was shelved, and this delay was nearly a year, Xiao Qin's family saw that Ning Yan was getting older day by day, and he was anxious to marry Ning Qiao, so he mentioned this matter to Xu's family, and Xu saw that Ning Qiao had been much more well-behaved recently, so he agreed.
Ning Xi arrived at the flower hall, and after greeting the ladies who had already arrived, he asked Yang Suyun in a low voice: "Didn't you say that you chose a relative for Ning Qiao?" Why are they all wives from big families? ”
Could it be that these ladies are here to choose wives for their concubines? She just hasn't been out for a while, could it be that now the atmosphere has changed, and the mothers-in-law have begun to care about their concubines?
"The third aunt naturally has her plans, and it's good to take this opportunity to show Ning Yan first." Yang Suyun whispered in Ning Xi's ear.
Ning Xi bowed his head, understood Xiao Qin's plan, and knew that he was just a companion, so he talked to Ning Miao, as for Ning Miao, because of physical reasons, he would not come back after saying hello.
Ning Xi and Ning Yu talked for a while, and Xiao Qin brought Ning Yan and Ning Qiao over, after they came in, the ladies present all looked up, and some people were obviously not interested in Ning Qiao, their eyes fell directly on Ning Yan and looked at it.
This atmosphere made Ning Xi feel uncomfortable, so he pulled Ning Yu out of the flower hall.
"Third sister, what kind of person do you think the third aunt will find for Ning Qiao this time?" Ning Yu asked casually.
Ning Xi shook his head: "But it's probably still a high-ranking concubine." ”
I don't know what Xiao Qin's family thinks, but he is so obsessed with Gaomen.
"By the way, Princess Hejun is also here today." Ning Yu said suddenly, "I heard that Princess Hejun's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, so it's hard to think of coming to her husband to see the side room." ”
The nobles in Beijing who are invited to today's banquet don't have a daughter in any family, so those ladies are not just here for the daughter of the Ning family.
Hearing this, Ning Xi frowned, wasn't King He Jun the person Ning Qiao married in the previous life? However, that was also after the death of Princess He Jun, but Ning Xi still asked uneasily: "Is King He Jun here?" ”
"I don't know, but the male guests are all in the outer courtyard, and there is a big brother to receive them."
Ning Xi frowned, thinking that Ning Qiao was still in the flower hall now, and Xiao Qin's family was watching, there shouldn't be any trouble, but Ning Xi was still relieved too early.
After lunch, Ning Xi went back to Ning Yan's courtyard to rest, but before she had stayed for a quarter of an hour, a maid hurriedly came over: "Mrs. Shizi invited the two aunts and grandmothers to go to the main hall. ”
Ning Xi frowned, how could he go to the main hall.
When they arrived at the main hall, they saw Ning Qiao with a white face, kneeling on the ground and sobbing, Xu and Xiao Qin stood facing Ning Qiao with cold faces, and King He comforted Princess Jun who was sitting on the chair with a guilty face.
Ning Xi's heart sank, something really happened.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yu asked Xu.
Xu Shi glanced at Ning Qiao, sighed, didn't know how to speak, Xiao Qin's heart was already angry, and immediately answered: "It's not you good fourth sister, the face of the British Mansion has been lost by her." ”
As soon as Xiao Qin's words came out, Ning Qiao's tears were like beads with broken threads, and they couldn't stop falling out.
The face of King He Jun on the side was also a little ugly, he looked at Ning Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground, and there was a little pity in his eyes, so he said to Xiao Qin: "Third lady, this matter is the fault of this king, if it weren't for the king's drunkenness, the fourth lady would not have lost her reputation, and this king is willing to be responsible." ”
King He said this, the faces of the Xu family and the Xiao Qin family looked better, after all, the person who suffered today was the daughter of the British government, no matter what, they didn't want to make a big deal about it, and now it would be better for King He to be in charge.
Princess Hejun's face was a little pale, but when she saw that King He had already said this, she said: "Since the prince of Hejun has already spoken like this, I can't say anything more, so let's choose a good day and carry the fourth lady into the mansion." ”
Ning Xi raised her eyebrows, this is what it means to be a concubine. The others also heard what Princess He Jun meant, and their faces were a little bad, but after all, King He Jun was ashamed of Princess Jun and didn't dare to refute her.
"Ning Qiao is the daughter of the British Mansion after all, King He Jun bullied my daughter today, and he even sent away a concubine, which is too much to ignore our British Mansion." Xu said with a cold face.
Princess Hejun sneered: "I haven't figured out what happened today, why can Mrs. Shizi insist that it was my county king who bullied your fourth lady, not that the fourth lady calculated my county king." ”
Xu narrowed his eyes, they really don't know what the truth of today's matter is, and Ning Qiao did have bad intentions before, but no matter how much he doubted Ning Qiao, today's matter must not be convinced.
Ning Qiao listened to Princess Hejun's words, tears flowed more urgently, looked up and looked around in a panic, and suddenly rushed towards Ning Xi's side, hugged Ning Xi's leg and cried: "Third sister, the princess of the county slanders her sister so much, and her sister has no face to live in the world, but third sister, you must believe me, I am just passing by the back garden, I don't know why King He Jun suddenly rushed out to hug his sister, this matter, many people in the house have seen it, and my sister can't live anymore." ”
Ning Xi frowned, Ning Qiao meant to drag her into the water? If she doesn't help Ning Qiao like this, how will others think of her?
Ning Xi directly skipped Princess He Jun and looked at King He Jun: "Since the princess of He Jun doubts the situation at that time, it is better to listen to what He Jun Wang said, and see if it is my fourth sister who calculated him, if it is really my fourth sister's fault, then the British government will immediately send her to the nunnery to twist her hair and be a sister-in-law, if not, please also ask King He Jun to allow my fourth sister to be a side concubine." ”
King He Jun glanced at the princess of the county with some embarrassment, and then at Ning Qiao, who was with pear blossoms and rain, and said with a red face: "This king originally planned to come to pick up the princess of the county and return to the house, maybe it was because he drank too much wine, and accidentally took the back of the fourth lady as the princess of the county, and he was in a hurry, so he would hug the fourth lady, which was indeed the fault of the king." ”
Ning Xi bent the corners of her mouth: "The princess of the county can hear clearly, this matter has nothing to do with my fourth sister, since it is the fault of the county king, please choose an auspicious day to be hired, and welcome our fourth sister into the house in a dignified manner." ”
Princess Hejun looked at Ning Xi for a long time, and finally moved her gaze to Ning Qiao, a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes: "Since the county lord of Pingle has spoken, this face still has to be given, and after I go back, I will choose a good day to welcome the fourth miss after discussing with my mother-in-law." After saying that, he got up and left, and King He Jun hurriedly chased him out.
"Thank you, third sister." Ning Qiao stood up and said softly.
Ning Xi showed a sarcastic smile and approached Ning Qiao: "The fourth sister is so calculating, even I was put on a position by you, and I have to stand up for you." ”
"What is the third sister talking about, my sister doesn't understand."
"Remember, this is the last time, and in the future, you can do it yourself." After speaking, Ning Xi showed no nostalgia and turned to leave.
Ning Yu glanced at Ning Qiao mockingly, and followed Ning Xi out of the door.
Ning Qiao is the daughter of Sanfang, and the Xu family doesn't want to wade into this troubled water again, so she asked Ning Qiao to prepare for marriage at home and leave. In the end, only Xiao Qin's family was left to scold Ning Qiao, and after everyone left, Ning Qiao slowly raised his head, and the corners of his mouth quietly curved.
Ning Qiao returned to her house and threw the purse and a book of incense into the brazier, seeing the raging flames, Ning Qiao seemed to see herself who was reborn in Nirvana, and finally she was no longer a concubine who could only look at people's faces, and finally she was going to leave this suffocating cage.
are all daughters of the Ning family, why can they marry the prince and the marquis, but she can only marry the concubine, since God is unfair, then she can only change her fate, she can't fight Ning Miao, can't climb the virtuous king, is it possible that she can't fight the princess of He County, just a sick seedling, and when the princess of He County dies, she will be able to straighten out, and then see who dares to look down on her is concubine.
"Hahahaha!" Ning Qiao finally laughed insolently, the flames making her face look extremely hideous. (.)
