Ninety-seven, years later
"I have something for you too." Chang Sheng took out a box of rouge and stuffed it into her hand, "I don't want to pick it, you can keep it if you think it's good, if you don't like it, just throw it away." ”
"Then I'll go back and see," Nian'er put it in her pocket and said solemnly, "not to accept your gift, but to see if you have a good eye." With that, she looked away, a smile on her lips.
For a moment, both of them were cramped, and neither of them knew what to say. After a stalemate for a while, Chang Sheng found the topic first: "Gege has been in a good mood lately?" ”
"It's still like that," Nian'er said helplessly, "With so many worries, where can I be really happy." It's really unfair to think about it like this, Qian Xiuwen is such a bad person, and now he is like a fish in water. The second young master dotes on her so much, almost no different from his wife, her mother's family is so strong, and now there are other men who love her with all their hearts, and all the good things are taken up by her. ”
"Maybe this is a good handle," Chang Sheng said in a low voice when he saw that there was no one around, "It's not certain yet, don't tell Gege until I figure it out." Also, don't be impulsive and make your own decisions. ”
"I know how to say," Nian'er said, "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten that Yu Ruimeng on the head a long time ago." ”
"With so much going on, Gege may not always be mentally clear, and it is inevitable to make wrong decisions on impulse. You also think about it, and do whatever Begege tells you to do. ”
"Zhilu Dao, I'll discuss it with you." Nian'er said angrily, "I know that you are smarter and more careful than me......"
Chang Sheng smiled, and when he saw that there was no one, he took her in his arms. Their happiness is given by Gege, they are all people around Gege, and to protect Gege is to protect themselves.
The New Year is fast approaching, and after that comes the days of staying at home. Ningxi had a fairly comfortable time, except for a high fever on the first day of the new year, the rest of the days were very peaceful. Sometimes when she thinks of those people in the capital, her heart aches faintly.
All of her good times for more than a year have been spent on this unworthy person. She hated, since she didn't like her, she had to tie her to him for some tricks, so that she had to be involved in so many rights and wrongs. and Qian Xiuwen, who killed her child, but is still at large, why is it so unfair!
She wants revenge, she wants an explanation for all that she has lost. Someday, I'll make you pay. What I have lost, you will also lose!
A few months passed quickly, and Hui'er gave birth to a son without any problems.
Sure enough, as Ning Xi expected, on the day of the child's full moon, the Dutong Mansion really came and took the child away. Hui'er cried so hard that she even hugged the grandmother's thighs and begged not to separate their mother and son.
Ning Xi looked at all this coldly, and his heart softened a little, but he didn't say anything. Until the child was taken away, Hui'er sat on the ground choked, her eyes were gloomy, and she seemed to have no strength.
"This kid is a son-in-law, he went to the Dutong Mansion, no one will treat him badly, and there is a great future waiting for him in the future, so there is no need for you to worry." Ning Xi stood in front of her, looked down at her, and said seriously, "If you miss this child, it's not impossible. I heard that the position of the third young master's wife is still vacant, if you have the ability to sit on it, everything will naturally be fine. If you can't do it, it's not like there's no other way. As long as you are willing to grieve yourself for this child, it is even easier to enter the house. ”
Hui'er didn't look at her, just hung her head, wondering if she heard what she said.
Back in the room, Fu Jin was already waiting there. Ning Xi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't help asking: "Eniang, Hui'er's matter, did I go a little too far?" ”
"Actually, it's okay for you to do this," Fu Jin sighed, "What good future can the child have if he stays in the palace?" At best, he is just an illegitimate child who is ridiculed. Hui'er dared to do that, and she should have thought that there would be today. ”
Ning Xi thought for a moment and didn't say anything more.
"Xi'er," Fu Jin said, "I didn't come to you because of Hui'er's business. The results of the written test from the previous year have come out and will be announced tomorrow, so you can prepare. ”
"E-niang, can I go out?" Ning Xi retracted the solemn expression just now and asked.
"Of course, the child has been sent away, and your mission is complete."
"There have been very few women who have cuckolded since ancient times, but I have caught up." Ning Xi laughed to himself.
The next day, Ning Xi got up early in the morning, put on a light cyan dress, and dressed up in the mirror again. In these days at home, she gradually said goodbye to the bright red color and began to try light-colored clothes. Rujin is right, light-colored clothes are indeed very beautiful, she only felt childish in the past, and never wore them. Now she is used to this kind of feminine beauty, and changing her style can be regarded as a change of mood.
With full expectations, Ning Xi came to the gate of Shenwu Gate early, waiting for the list to be released. It's almost summer, but there's still a hint of coolness in the morning. She didn't care about any of this at all, compared to being frozen on the day of the exam, this little cold was nothing at all. Even if I got frostbite that day, it was worth it!
"It's coming, it's coming out!" With the excited shouts of the crowd, Ning Xi looked up. The red and glamorous list was posted on the wall, and Ning Xi began to look for the name of the palace.
In the list, she saw the names of the two people she saw that day, as well as several other famous gentlemen, all of whom were inside. She couldn't believe her eyes, didn't she qualify? I got everything I should have answered correctly, how could it be?
I searched several times, but I still couldn't find it. She walked over suspiciously and asked the person in charge of posting, "Where can I see my test papers?" ”
"I'm not in charge of this," the man replied, "and you have to ask Grandpa Liu, who is in charge of this." ”
"Where can I find Gonggong Liu?" Ning Xi asked.
"Seeing that he is about to enter the palace." The man shook his head and walked away.
Ning Xi knew that he couldn't enter the palace, but he was still unwilling. She simply rushed to the doctor when she was sick, and when she saw someone, she asked, "Where can I find Gonggong Liu?" ”
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, he pulled Ning Xi over and whispered, "I can tell you that Grandpa Liu has a private house. But you have to promise me that you don't tell him that I told him. ”
After getting the address, before Lin Yuan could stop him, Ning Xi ran out of the city quickly. Lin Yuan had no choice, so he had to let Nian'er follow, and he ran to take a look first.
"Is it Gonggong Liu?" Ning Xi came to the so-called private house, and when he saw an old man at the door, he asked.
"It's me," the man said, standing up, "who are you, and what is the matter?" ”
"Father-in-law Liu, excuse me." Ning Xi stabilized his mood and said with a smile, "I'm a junior who took the exam a year ago, and I just failed to see my name on the list. I have some doubts and want to ask. ”
"What's the doubt about this," Gonggong Liu said slowly, "If you don't see it, you haven't passed, you haven't studied hard." ”
"I'm confident," Ning Xi said softly, "I've written everything I should answer......"
"Who knows, it's right for you to write that thing." Gonggong Liu glared at her and turned to enter the house.
