The Western Liang Kingdom, close to the Great Yuan Dynasty, is located in the western frontier, next to Yuncheng. The original family has been stationed in Western Xinjiang for generations, and the original family's mansion is in Cloud City.

Ning Nianzhi felt his heart tighten suddenly, his steps stopped, and he couldn't move forward anymore. Tingxue almost bumped into Ning Nianzhi's back, and asked with some confusion: "Girl?" ”

Ning Nianzhi stabilized his mind: "I suddenly remembered that there were still some things that I forgot from my mother, and I wanted to go back and get ......."

Tingxue said with a smile: "The girl forgot something, just let the slave maid get it, let Sister Yingxue accompany the girl back first, this March day, the night is still a little cold, and the girl should not run back and forth." ”

"It's okay, I'll go by myself." Ning Nianzhi turned around directly, Ning Zhen was still talking to Ma Xinrong: "Xiliang Guoan has been guarding itself for more than ten years, and there has been no war during this period, but this is suddenly reversed, and Yuncheng is also defenseless, and nearly 3,000 people were slaughtered that day......"

Regardless of whether it was the soldiers or the people who died, the old general could not escape the responsibility for this crime. If Xiliang Kingdom is prepared, I am afraid that there is really danger here, one is comfortable for decades, and the other is sharpening knives for decades.

Otherwise, there would not have been an errand to deliver the letter. Western Xinjiang is the territory of the original family, if the original family can hold on, why send a letter to the capital in such a hurry? Just wait for yourself to settle the matter properly, and go back to ask for credit, why send this crime over?

Ning Nianzhi left more urgently, Ning Zhen continued: "The old general is angry and anxious, plus he was a little sick before, and now he can't get up, and several brothers of the original family ......"

Ning Zhen was silent for a while, and Ma Xinrong was also anxious: "Dongliang is still young, it hasn't been long since he went back, and suddenly something happened, the original family is afraid that the upper and lower levels are not united, how many people can obey Dongliang?" ”

Ning Zhen sighed: "But I can't go." ”

The base camp of the Ning family is in northern Xinjiang, and the generals must not only have high skills, as well as various strategies, but also have the most important ability, and they must also be good at using the terrain. There are mostly grasslands in northern Xinjiang, and there are many rivers and mountains in western Xinjiang, Ning Zhen has great ability, he has never been to Western Xinjiang in his life, and he is afraid that he will not be able to lead troops to fight.

"What then?" Ma Xinrong was even more anxious, he couldn't sit still, got up and kept circling in the room: "Are there any generals in the DPRK who are more familiar with the terrain of Western Xinjiang?" The original family is not the same as us, the original family has always been stationed over there......"

Ning Zhen didn't speak, Ma Xinrong muttered a few words, and said: "No, I'm really not worried, is there any news from Dongliang now?" Didn't you write to me before? Is there any news from the original family? ”

Ning Zhen sighed: "Dongliang's latest letter was received a year ago, and I haven't received a letter from him since the end of the year. I don't know much about the situation in Xijiang, the emperor only left us to talk about these things today, as for whether to send people and who to send, these can only wait for Ming'er to talk about it. ”

The dispatch of the army is not a trivial matter, who will lead the troops, who will be the commander after the go, how many people will bring, how to calculate the grain and grass, these must be decided after everyone has discussed.

Ma Xinrong didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly clapped his hands for a long time: "I can't let Nianzhi know about this matter......

Before the words fell, Ning Nianzhi opened the door curtain and came in: "Mother, I already know." ”

Ma Xinrong was stunned for a moment, his face was a little anxious, and he was about to speak, but was stopped by Ning Zhen: "Your mother said that you can't let you know about the preparation and ceremony for you, after all, we plan to surprise you." ”

Ma Xinrong nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, that's it, we're going to give you a big surprise." ”

Even though Ning Nianzhi was anxious and worried, he couldn't help but cry and laugh a little helplessly at this moment: "Daddy, I didn't lie to you, I heard it, is the original eldest brother in danger?" What's going on now? Since the old general can't come forward, don't his subordinates support the original eldest brother? ”

"Naturally, there are, but everyone has selfish intentions, how long has your original eldest brother been back, and how long have those brothers of the original family been in Western Xinjiang?" Ning Zhen frowned and said, he was stabbed by Ma Xinrong, and quickly changed his words: "Of course, your original eldest brother is an orthodox grandson, and there must be many people who support Dongliang's kid, last time he and the old lady came over, didn't he just say it?" The power of the original family, he has mastered at least three percent, and it has been a year since he went back, is it possible that he has not even collected two percent? That's at least half of that. ”

Ning Nianzhi frowned: "How is the war?" ”

"In this matter, even if we win in the end, the original family will not be able to get rid of the crime." What is the purpose of the original family stationed in Western Xinjiang? The emperor didn't let the original family go there to be the emperor of the soil to enjoy the blessings, their main duty was to protect the western frontier and prevent the rebellion of the Western Liang Kingdom.

Now, under the condition that the former general was unaware, unprepared, and unguarded, the Xiliang Kingdom reversed, but he still came prepared, and he was menacing, and he cut down 3,000 people in Western Xinjiang at once, forcing the officials of Western Xinjiang to send letters back to the DPRK for help.

Those 3,000 people are only the situation of the first day, and it will take a month to send the letter at the earliest, who knows what the situation will already be in this month. The worst thing is that I'm afraid that Cloud City has been defeated.

Of course, these Ning Zhen didn't want to tell Ning Nianzhi that Ning Nianzhi was a little girl, and he didn't want her to worry about these problems, so he could only smile and coax: "Don't worry, if this kid Dongliang can't protect himself well, he will learn kung fu from me for so many years, and he will definitely be safe." ”

Ning Nianzhi pursed his lips, his skills are not good, and those who can be generals since ancient times are not necessarily the best in martial arts. Yuan Dongliang is very good, he can be admitted to the martial arts champion, and he also has the ability, but he is not very old and has no ...... No, he has also experienced war, so he should have more confidence in him?

Thinking like this, Ning Nianzhi didn't see Ning Zhen's perfunctory, nodded and responded: "Dad, if anything changes, you must tell me, if something happens to the original eldest brother, I won't marry again in my life." ”

Ning Zhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Ma Xinrong, Ma Xinrong opened his mouth, he couldn't say what he wanted to say, so he had to sigh: "Don't worry, with your father here, Yuan Dongliang will be safe." ”

Ning Zhen wiped his face, forget it, not to mention that his daughter had already married Yuan Dongliang, he shouted at him that his father had been married for more than ten years, and he really couldn't watch him have an accident.

"Okay, wrap it on your father, your father will promise you, Ming'er will send someone to Xijiang to find out the news, and he will never hide it from you, don't worry too much, Yuan Dongliang himself learned this, that is, if you don't go to the battlefield today, one day in the future, you will go to the battlefield, you have to learn to let go, you can't worry about this matter and ruin your body, understand?"

Ning Zhen beckoned and motioned for Ning Nianzhi to come to his side: "He chose to be a military general, which means that he has already considered this, if he was really greedy for life and afraid of death, he wouldn't have picked me up to learn to train back then, right?" ”

"You have to think about the good, if you don't fight, where will the military merit come from? If you don't have military merits, how can you ask for a decree in the future? Ning Zhen said with a smile: "Since you thought about marrying him at the beginning, you naturally have to think about today, either wait at home, or become a relative in the future, you can follow him to endure hardships, just like your mother, since ancient times, the wives of military generals are not good, this time, maybe it is a good thing." ”

If Yuan Dongliang can win, it will be a surprise to Nian Zhi before getting married. If the battle is defeated, of course, the Ning family will not judge the hero by winning or losing, the defeat means that it is not strong enough, and it is enough to practice more.

If so, Yuan Dongliang really has a case, in Ning Zhen's opinion, if something happens before marriage, it is still a good thing for his daughter. Of course, he also feels sorry for his son who has been raised for more than ten years, but people's hearts are biased, that is, the biological one still has to have a favorite and a little bit of it, not to mention that he is not biological.

"Dad, I'm really not joking, if the original eldest brother has a case, I won't marry in the future." Ning Nianzhi solemnly declared, Ning Zhen nodded perfunctorily, it is not up to her to decide whether to marry or not at that time, how deep can the feelings between children be? Three or five years have passed, and I can still turn the page.

Ma Xinrong is well aware of her daughter's stubbornness, just like that, what she wants to know, do everything, eavesdropping, peeking and asking, she has to figure it out, what she wants, if she doesn't get it today, she has to find a way, she said that if she doesn't get married, she may never marry again in the future.

So, he was a little anxious, and patted Ning Zhen hard: "You have a little heart, if you are not a son-in-law or a son, Ming'er will let people investigate, and give more people, just stay by Dongliang's side and wait for the dispatch, you say, who will the emperor send?" ”

"I can't say I understand it for the time being." Ning Zhen shook his head, there are many military generals in the DPRK and China, but everyone has their own responsibilities, the Ning family is in the northern Xinjiang, the original family is in the western Xinjiang, General Chen is the general of the soldiers and horses in the capital, General Li is a guerrilla general, if you want to go to the western Xinjiang, you must have some understanding of that side, among them, there are three who have been to the western Xinjiang, but one of them is already old, and he is not at a critical juncture, I am afraid that he will not come forward.

There are two left, one is too young, and the other does not have much contact with the original family, and the old lady of the original has not even visited that family when she enters Beijing.

After thinking about it, I still think this last one is more appropriate. But which one to go, or the emperor has the final say. Ning Zhen rubbed his forehead and patted Ning Nianzhi: "Don't worry, no matter what, Dad will let Yuan Dong take good care of him, and he will definitely be safe." ”

Ning Nianzhi nodded, in fact, if it was possible, she would like to go by herself. But she is self-aware, and at the moment Xijiang can't tell what the situation is, her father and mother will definitely not let her go out. Moreover, she hasn't gotten married yet, so there's no reason to look for her at all.

But for a few days, Ning Nianzhidu was a little restless, and he never relaxed his attention to his father's side, for fear that they would hide some bad news from her.

Soon there was news in the court, and the emperor sent General Meng to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to set off first, and the grain and grass arrived later. Wait for the news over there to be confirmed, and then send another troops.

Ning Zhen finally brought some news, but it was not good news. The old general was seriously ill, and Xiliang Guo had already prepared, and in one go, he entered Yuncheng, and in three days, he took Yuncheng. The old general can only retreat with soldiers and horses for the time being, and now he is temporarily guarding the city of Manchuria, fortunately, the brothers of the original family are not stupid to go home, and the enemy is still engaged in infighting, although no one is convinced, but the basic strategy is still concerted. For example, keep the gates closed.

Of course, this method is not clever at all, and it can even be said that it is the most useless method. Xiliang Kingdom has conquered a cloud city, and if you want the original family's guilt to be lighter, you will try your best to atone for your sins and take back Yuncheng.

Yuan Dongliang wanted to do this, but unfortunately, there were too few soldiers who could order. There are a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and when he comes to him, he can only command 30,000 horses.

30,000 against 300,000, unless Yuan Dongliang wants to find death, otherwise, he can only hide first.

"But it's not a problem to hide all the time." Liu Biao hugged his arms, frowned and said: "We are willing to hide, but Xiliangguo will not give us a chance to hide, this is the third day, Xiliangguo has been scolding outside for the first two days, and I am afraid that I will do it today." ”

Yuan Dongliang frowned and looked at the topographic map on the table, and he was calculating in his heart, between Xiliang and Liuman City, there is only one Cloud City, Cloud City is the base camp of the original family, and he was busy retreating before, and he didn't have time to bring grain and grass or anything, and now it all fell into the hands of Xiliang.

100,000 troops, Liuman City is afraid that it will not be able to raise for a month, now, or wait, the imperial court reinforcements will definitely arrive in a month, and then ask for help from the surrounding towns to raise grain and grass first. Either fight back, even if you can't get back Cloud City, you can't let Cloud City fall into the hands of Xiliang. The last way is to go around to Xiliang and burn the grain and grass in Xiliang.

But this last method is afraid that it will not have much effect, since Xiliang can attack Yuncheng by surprise, it means that he has been prepared for a long time, and in terms of grain and grass, he will not let them find out the news easily.

"Major General, you say, what should we do?" Liu Biao asked, Yuan Dongliang raised his hand: "Fight, if we cower here, although we can survive when reinforcements come, this initiative is not in our hands." ”

Liu Biao was stunned for a moment: "But the second general said that he would not let the city gate be opened." ”

The second general is the second uncle of Yuan Dongliang, the former old general has three concubines, two concubines, the concubines have been married, and the concubines have all started a family, the original Dongliang is nineteen years old, and their time in the army is naturally not less than five or six years.

"Whose soldiers are at the gates now?" Yuan Dongliang asked, Liu Biao touched his chin and thought for a while: "It's the second general." ”

"Well, let's have a sneak attack tonight." Yuan Dongliang stretched out his hand and clicked on the map: "In the past few days, Xiliang has not lost, I'm afraid there won't be much defense, and there are two generals who are here to stand up, let's go out of the city at night, the soldiers are divided into two roads, all the way to the west, all the way to the south, the west is the main, let's kill the past, the south is to hide the whereabouts and create chaos in the Xiliang military camp." ”

Liu Biao hesitated: "We only have 30,000 horses, but Xiliang has 300,000." ”

When the time comes, the fight will definitely not be advantageous on your own side. Yuan Dongliang smiled: "Who said we only have 30,000 horses?" On the second general's side, there are still 30,000, and the third general and the fourth general combined, there are also 30,000. ”

Liu Biao blinked, a little confused: "But ......"

Yuan Dongliang rolled up the map: "You just have to rest assured that you will go down, when the time comes, the second general will definitely make a move." ”

Liu Biao didn't quite understand, but when he saw that Yuan Dongliang had already gone out, he quickly quickened his pace, and when he left the room, he called several other lieutenants to convey Yuan Dongliang's instructions. It's just that I still don't quite understand, the second general is eager to get rid of his own major general, how can they give people to the major general?

Yuan Dongliang didn't have time to explain the doubts and doubts of his subordinates, so when he went out of the room, he first went to visit the old general. Coincidentally, the second general was also there, and Yuan Dongliang's expressionless fist was regarded as a salute, and he walked directly to the old man's bed and looked down: "Grandfather, how are you feeling today?" ”

The old general was dazed, and he couldn't even hear the words clearly, so he only raised his hand with great effort, Yuan Dongliang hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to hold the old man's hand: "What does grandfather command?" ”

"Xiliang, scolding formation?" Asked vaguely, Yuan Dongliang nodded: "I've been scolding for two days, and I want to fight tomorrow." ”

The old general immediately became anxious and shook his head: "You...... Small, inexperienced......"

Yuan Dongliang curled the corners of his lips: "Grandfather, don't worry, anyway, it's already come to this point, even if I don't fight, Xiliang is also going to fight, it's better for me to fight directly, and it will save them from attacking the city directly." ”

The old general Yuan was even more anxious, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't tell clearly, Yuan Dongliang just couldn't see what he meant, and comforted the old man a few words, and looked up at the second general: "Second uncle, it just so happens that I have something to look for you, let's talk outside?" ”

The second general lowered his eyes and glanced at the old man, and nodded slowly: "Okay, let's talk outside." ”

"Second uncle, if there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses left in this Manchester City, how many days can you defend?" Yuan Dongliang asked with a smile, and the second general frowned slightly: "If there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it can only be held for three days." ”

Yuan Dongliang nodded: "The reinforcements of the imperial court will take at least a month, this is not the time to send people to deliver letters, just go alone, just hurry, the army will travel a lot slower." ”

The second general looked at Yuan Dongliang fixedly, and Yuan Dongliang smiled and handed him a cup of tea: "Second uncle don't have to doubt me, the most important thing for us now is not to compete for our own 100,000 soldiers and horses, but to find a way to keep the original family first." If I can't even keep the city, I still have a father-in-law in the capital, how can I get out of it, and in the future, I will have a chance to start again, but second uncle, are you......"

The second general is a concubine, when he married a wife, the old lady didn't want to worry about it, and the second general himself didn't know any ladies outside Western Xinjiang, he married the daughter of the prefect of Yuncheng, and now Yuncheng has been taken away, and his wife can't help him.

Yuan Dongliang was at ease: "Even if I leave this Manchester City at this time and go directly to the capital, my father-in-law will have the ability to keep me fine, but if the Manchester City is gone, the second uncle will ......" Yuan Dongliang stretched his voice, and saw that the second general's face had changed, so he put away his smile and brought some positive colors: "In this situation, does the second uncle have a way to deal with it?" ”

Ning Nianzhi received a letter from Yuan Dongliang again, and it was half a month after the imperial court's reinforcements left. It was about the beginning of the war that Yuan Dongliang wrote and sent someone to send it.

The content of the letter, just lightly mentioned a few words about Xiliang's attack, and the rest was mostly to comfort Ning Nianzhi and tell her not to worry.

With Yuan Dongliang's letter, the anxiety in Ning Nian's heart is finally less. Outside, Ning Zhen was always inquiring about the news, Ning Baozhu was at home from time to time to tell a joke to explain, and Ma Xinrong's comfort, Ning Nianzhi finally didn't have the idea of going directly to Western Xinjiang.

A month later, he received another letter, Yuan Dongliang led people to eliminate 50,000 horses in Xiliang, and became famous in a battle. The clan that is a soldier is simpler, and whoever is more capable and strong will be more willing to follow. Because only when the generals are strong, they will have a greater chance of survival, and no one wants to choose an incompetent general for life and death-related matters.

Even if it was the second general, they originally had a lot of advantages, but after Yuan Dongliang's victory in the first battle, many people leaned on Yuan Dongliang's side. Yuan Dongliang took the opportunity to take the old man's talisman and completely gathered the power of the original family into his own hands.

Then, in one go, before the imperial reinforcements arrived, he took Yuncheng back.

It's not over when you get it back, since Xiliang has provoked a war, the Great Yuan Dynasty is not waiting to be killed, so it naturally wants to fight back. But Yuan Dongliang's side already has an advantage, with 100,000 soldiers and horses from the original family, 100,000 soldiers and horses transferred from Liuman City and other places, plus 50,000 imperial court reinforcements, a total of 250,000, and 300,000 soldiers and horses in Shangxiliang, it will not fall behind.

Yuan Dongliang thought that he was young and inexperienced, so he wanted to ask General Meng to be the commander. But General Meng is also interested in reciprocating the peach, Yuan Dongliang treats him sincerely, and he is naturally willing to promote Yuan Dongliang. What's more, the original family has been entrenched in Western Xinjiang for decades, and the old general is only seriously ill in a fit of anger, but now that Yuncheng has come back, the old general's body has also improved.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and General Meng also needs the support of the original family.

At this point, Ning Nianzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the imperial court has the upper hand, there will be almost no suspense in this war, and the rest is just a matter of time.

At the end of the year, Xiliang increased his troops by 400,000, bypassed from the west of Yuncheng, and went straight to Hongtongcheng. Yuan Dongliang personally led troops to intercept him, but due to intelligence errors, he was besieged in the canyon.

When the Ning family received the news, Yuan Dongliang had already won more with less, came out of the canyon, fought back, and once again wiped out 50,000 soldiers and horses in Xiliang.

Because he was worried about Yuan Dongliang, Ning Nianzhi didn't go out much, and only stayed at home every day, either going to Ning Zhen's study to read the newspaper, or pinching Yuan Dongliang's letter in a daze.

Until August, Ning Nianzhi's fifteenth birthday, and Lu's big day. The war in Western Xinjiang is not over yet.

"Mother, it's not a big deal, right?" Please go over, Ning Nianzhi frowned slightly, and sighed: "I read the newspaper in my father's study before, and the court seems to have lost ......."

"That's just temporary, if you fight, there will definitely be losses and wins." Ma Xinrong waved his hand indifferently: "Xiliang is afraid that it won't be long in coming, so you don't have to worry about it." And the ceremony is a girl's once-in-a-lifetime thing, and my mother is a daughter like you, and she must have a big event. ”

Ning Nianzhi held his cheeks and continued to sigh: "But I'm not in the mood." ”

"That's because you're bored at home, I said a long time ago, you have to go out with Baozhu often to have fun, you just don't want to go out, you can hold a banquet in our own house, you have to be bored in the house, you don't want to move, you have to think more, think too much will be boring."

Ma Xinrong rubbed her hair: "Obedient, when you have to be free, you will go out and play with Baozhu, you and the matter of the ceremony, my mother still has to prepare for it, come on, just right, what color fabric do you like?" The final auspicious dress must be curled, the big red one, you can hold it down, what about the two bodies in front? Like goose yellow or not? ”

Ning Nianzhi looked sideways, Ma Xinrong was holding the samples sent by the cloth village, each fabric was the size of the palm of his hand, with both color and pattern, which was clear at a glance. There were about a hundred pieces of fabric stacked in one box.

Ning Nianzhi grabbed the fragments and threw them on the table to look at them, and couldn't help laughing: "Who came up with this solution?" How can you see if it's suitable or not? Now this cloth village has also learned to be lazy? ”

In the past, when I chose fabrics, I sent half a horse over, and I could pull and compare on my body, so that I couldn't even fill the palm of my hand, what can I see?

"The way I figured it out." Ma Xinrong looked at her with a tiger face: "Didn't I want to buy a few more?" If you like it, just say it, buy it all, try it and give it to the orb if it doesn't fit, and keep it if it's suitable. ”

The corners of Ning Nianzhi's mouth twitched, if she wanted the second aunt to hear it, she must think that her mother was favoring one over the other, why could other people's orbs only pick up what she Ning Nianzhi didn't want?

However, thinking that the second aunt's temperament has changed in the past two years, maybe she won't care?

"Then this, this, this." Ning Nianzhi picked a few casually, anyway, there was no shortage of money, he bought as much as he wanted, and if he didn't need it, he would give it away. Ma Xinrong is also secretly poking and prodding, and if he can't use it up, he will use it as a dowry, and he won't have to buy it again.

Soon it was the day of the ceremony, and Ning Nianyi had already been called up by Tingxue and them, she yawned and didn't want to move at all. I heard Ying Xue say excitedly: "Girl, the original young master sent a congratulatory gift." ”

Ning Nianzhi's eyes lit up, and he quickly got up: "Where is it?" ”

"It's been sent to Mingxintang." Ying Xue said with a smile, and came over to help Ning Nianzhi comb her hair: "Don't worry, girl, you can see it after a while, today is the girl's big day, the girl has to dress up beautifully, this set of pearl jewelry, but Mrs. specially prepared, it is not easy to buy three hundred pink pearls of exactly the same size, the girl looks, is it particularly good-looking?" ”

Ning Nianzhi shook his head, the pendants on his ears swayed on both sides of his cheeks, which was indeed quite good-looking.

However, Ning Nianzhi didn't have the heart to appreciate it at this time, and only cared about the congratulatory gift sent by Yuan Dongliang. To be honest, she was a little disappointed, because before, she made an appointment with Yuan Dongliang, and on the day of the ceremony, Yuan Dongliang would definitely be able to rush back.

But on the contrary, last year, Xiliang attacked and the war in Western Xinjiang, and Yuan Dongliang couldn't get out for a while. After several military exploits, Yuan Dongliang was also promoted and became a four-rank general canonized by the imperial court, no longer the young general who was casually shouted by the original family before. In this way, Yuan Dongliang can't leave at will.

He also wrote a letter accusing him before, although Ning Nianzhi could understand it, but he was still a little disappointed, after all, he hadn't seen each other for nearly two years, and he didn't know what Yuan Dongliang was like now.

Waiting for Tingxue to tuck the last strand of hair, Ning Nianzhi hurriedly went to see the congratulatory gift sent by Yuan Dongliang, got up and ran outside, and a few maids hurriedly followed. When I entered the door, I heard Ning Zhen's laughter: "This kid is quite hearted." ”

Ma Xinrong's voice also carried a little joy: "It's good that he's okay in Xijiang, and it saves us from worrying about him." Unexpectedly, he still had time to collect such things for Nianzhi, which shows that he also has a heart for Nianzhi. ”

Ning Zhen patted the table: "If he didn't have this mind about Nianzhi, would I have easily agreed to this back then?" ”

Ning Nian stepped into the door with one foot: "Daddy, did the original eldest brother send a congratulatory gift?" Who sent it? Do you know the news of the original big brother? How is he, is he doing, and when will the war end? What did he send a congratulatory gift? ”

Ning Zhen shook his head: "My daughter is older, this time I entered the door, and I didn't say that I would ask your father and mother if it was okay first, why did you want to ask Yuan Dongliang's stinky boy?" ”

"I can see my father and mother every day, what is there to ask?" Ning Nianzhi pursed his lips, saw a letter on the table, raised his hand and was about to take it, Ning Zhen hurriedly suppressed: "This is not something you can see, well, it is something sent by Dongliang, the two boxes over there are for me and your mother, these two are for you, you can quickly see what was sent to you." ”

The more Ning Zhen didn't let him see it, the more Ning Nianzhi wanted to see it, pretended to turn around and open the box, saw Ning Zhen go to serve tea, quickly turned around, grabbed the letter in his hand, took it out and looked at it twice, and couldn't help blushing.

Ma Xinrong hurriedly stepped forward to take it back, and Ning Zhen couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you show you?" You have to look at it, this is Dongliang's kid who wrote a letter asking for relatives, this is evidence, if Dongliang treats you badly in the future, your mother and I can take this letter and go to the door. ”

With the letter and Geng Ti, although Yuan Dongliang did not come, he did not forget to do the right thing - this is Ning Nianzhi's and a big gift, as soon as it passes today, it is equivalent to announcing to everyone that the family has a daughter, and the person who wants to marry will come quickly.

Although the two of them are married, this matter is not publicized. If someone comes to ask for a kiss, Yuan Dongliang really can't refuse, so he has to start first and send Geng Ti to him, and it would be better if his father and mother could announce the matter of marriage by the way.

Just don't publicize it, then turn around and close the eight characters, and he can come directly with the dowry next time.

As for the eight characters, whether it is good or not is Yuan Dongliang's words, anyway, he has no father and no mother, the real eight characters, I don't know where to throw them. What he uses now is the time when Ning Zhen and his wife picked him up.

Ning Nianzhi stretched out his hand and patted his face, who said he couldn't see it? Isn't it okay to go back and look quietly by yourself, so that no one knows? But a letter, just by looking at the first sentence, she can guess what is written in the back, and it must be a guarantee that she will only be good to her in the future.

While thinking, I went to open the box. Most of the things given to Ning Zhen and his wife are some things that nourish the body, as well as jade ornaments. The ones given to Ning Nianzhi are more miscellaneous, the paintings he painted, and the ...... Logs and other things, food and play, you name it.

It's quite hearty, and it's mostly what Ning Nianzhi likes.

"Sister, are you here? Let me see what you're wearing today? Ning Baozhu's voice came from outside, Ning Nianzhi hurriedly closed the box, it was not that she was stingy, but the things sent by Yuan Dongliang, which were still sent at this time, followed by asking for cronies, more or less, these gifts also carried some affection, she didn't want others to see it.

Ning Baozhu also knew the etiquette, and when he saw the box on the ground, he turned his gaze away after a glance, and circled around Ning Nianzhi twice: "The eldest sister is really beautiful today, today must be the most beautiful one, a big beauty who can't take your eyes off when you see it!" ”

Ma Xinrong said with a smile: "Baozhu is also dressed beautifully today, just like your eldest sister, they are all beauties, and the girls of our Ning family are all good-looking." ”

Ning Baozhu was not shy at all, and nodded in agreement: "The eldest aunt is right, the girls of our Ning family are all good-looking, and I am the same as the eldest sister." ”

Ning Zhen, who was amused, couldn't help laughing, Ma Xinrong pulled Ning Baozhu and asked, "Have you had breakfast?" If not, stay and eat with us, and then maybe there will be guests coming to the door, and you are very important today, and you must eat more if you want to help your eldest sister entertain your group of little sisters. ”

Ning Baozhu nodded generously: "Okay, then I'll disturb the uncle and aunt, don't worry, the guests who came today are all handed over to me, I will take care of them properly, so that the eldest sister has a perfect courtesy!" ”

As he spoke, Ning Ancheng and the others also came over, and now the brothers have taken leave in the academy, just waiting for Ning Nianzhi's ceremony.

After the family had breakfast, Ning Nianzhi took Ning Baozhu back to his yard and waited. About an hour later, guests began to come one after another, the elders all stayed on the old lady's side, Ma Xinrong and the second lady greeted together, and the little girls gathered in Ning Nianzhi's courtyard.

Before the start of the ceremony, the little sisters gave their own gifts, which were not expensive, mostly handkerchiefs, sachets, purses, etc., most of which were made by themselves. The eighth princess also brought the queen's reward, but it was given secretly.

When the auspicious time was approaching, Ning Baozhu led everyone to the front to wait for the ceremony. Ning Nianzhi changed into his first clothes under the maid's service, took a deep breath, folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, walked out of the door with an elegant posture, and walked towards Ning Zhen and Ma Xinrong in the sun.
