Knowing from Mama Qin's mouth that she, like Gao Yiyao, was also one of the candidates for the Hou Mansion and the Wei State Mansion, Xie Ning thought about it carefully, and finally found those subtle clues in his past memory, and his attitude gradually changed from disbelief at the beginning to certainty.

It was because she was also a candidate to discuss with the Duke of Wei, so Gao Yiyao would ask her to meet Wei Qingyang, invite the Wei sisters in the name of going together, and deliberately split her up, and even leave her alone.

I couldn't tell what it was like in my heart, Xie Ning, who woke up from a dream, was still a little stunned, his eyes were confused, and he asked out loud: "How did Mama know about this?" ”

Mama Qin glanced at her and said lightly: "The Xiang family is not close to you, if it weren't for the reason, how could they take you out to socialize?" Originally, I only thought she was looking for you to be a foil, until I noticed the attitude of the Duke of Wei, and I realized a little strange, and that Zhou Niang asked me a few words, and I learned that you were also in this family election. ”

Xie Ning nodded thoughtfully, "That being the case, presumably this matter of discussing relatives must be from the mouth of Uncle Hou, not what the Xiang family wants." No wonder Mrs. Wei saw me so enthusiastic today, it turned out that it was because of this. Saying that, he frowned, and said to himself: "It's just that Brother Qingyang is the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion, and Gao Yiyao can be called worthy of his identity, how can he discuss marriage with me?" ”

She is not arrogant in what she said, in the capital where dignitaries and dignitaries gather, Xie Ning knows very well in her heart that whether it is her family background, talent, or appearance, she is not commendable. How can she be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Wei?

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, Xie Ning didn't wait for Mama Qin to respond, he immediately looked over, and asked in a lost voice: "The Duke of Wei Mansion shouldn't want me to be a concubine in the past, right?" ”

Growing up in the barracks, although she had never seen any concubines, she had heard some stories about them from the drama passages. She understands the difference between wives and concubines. Not to mention that after living in the Hou Mansion, she saw the concubine in the second room, Gao Jing.

Xie Ning's little face was twisted into a tangled ball, and Mama Qin looked at her, but suddenly smiled, and said in a soothing tone: "You don't have to think too much. The current situation of the Duke of Wei is very special, and they have listed you as the next eldest daughter-in-law, so naturally they have some considerations. Do you remember what I told you about the Wei Mansion? ”

Seeing that Mama Qin still didn't forget to take the test at this time, Xie Ning suppressed the panic on her face, and her mood became inexplicably relaxed, recalling the secrets of the powerful that Mama Qin told her, and replied: "The Duke of Wei has guarded the border for generations, and the military generals have passed on their families, but they are quite feared today. Therefore, in recent years, the government has been more and more low-key and cautious. ”

"Remember what I said, it's not hopeless." After listening to Xie Ning's retelling, Mama Qin's face softened by three points, and she was no longer cold earlier.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Xie Ning boldly speculated: "The tree is a big move, and the Guogong Mansion doesn't want to be too loud and cause trouble, right?" ”

Mama Qin nodded and said, "Yes, the reputation of the Guogong Mansion is already too great, if it is the icing on the cake, it will definitely be regarded as a swagger." So compared to Gao Yiyao, I think they are more optimistic about you. You don't have much family background, and marrying your Xie family will not be feared by today, but will become an extremely clever show of weakness. is the daughter of a military general, not like those delicate little girls, if they accompany the garrison, they can also endure hardships. ”

As if she didn't see Xie Ning's wonderful face for a moment, Mama Qin continued to analyze like a few treasures: "In addition, you are good friends with the girl of the Wei family, if this family matter is settled, there is no need to worry that you will treat her badly." Saying that, he sneered again, and said quite disdainfully: "The female dependents of the Guogong Mansion are the only ones who can stand up, and Mrs. Wei is the only one. As for their mother and daughter, they acted timidly and cowered, and they couldn't get on the stage, and they took the name of noble daughters in vain. ”

I didn't want Mama Qin to have such an evaluation, Xie Ning was about to speak out for Wei Qingcheng, when Mama Qin murmured again, "But this girl is also a pitiful, if it weren't for her mother's negligence back then, she wouldn't be ......."

When they first met, Xie Ning knew something about Wei Qingcheng's shy temperament, but he never thought that as the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, how could she be so afraid of life.

Is there any reason for this? Xie Ning keenly smelled a bit of hidden feelings from Mama Qin's self-talk, and hurriedly confirmed: "Mama is saying that Allure is so timid now, is it because of any experience?" ”

Mama Qin's eyes flashed, and she asked quite unnaturally, "Did I say anything?" ”

Seeing that she deliberately covered it up, Xie Ning was even more suspicious in his heart, spoke up again, and said tentatively: "Didn't Mama say that Mrs. Wei was negligent back then, so she ......?" ”

Mama Qin glanced at her and said coldly: "Other people's affairs, ask about what you are doing so much." I think it's important that you take care of yourself. ”

The temptation was fruitless, Xie Ning really had no choice, so he could only give up the plan to talk from Mama Qin's mouth. That's it, instead of discussing the length of the person behind her back, she should ask Wei Qingcheng directly, if the other party is willing to mention this past a few years ago to her, maybe she can also help to make her change this fear of life.

Xie Ning made up his mind, so he stopped asking Mama Qin. After a day outside, I didn't eat much, and when I saw the time of dinner on weekdays, of course, it was serious to fill my stomach first.

"Mama, let's go out to dinner." Shainin walked out briskly.

Mama Qin sighed lowly, "I've been talking to you for so long, how come you didn't react at all when you learned that you were discussing marriage with the Duke of Wei." ”

Hearing the disappointment in her voice, Xie Ning was still at a loss, stopped, and said puzzledly: "There are hundreds of families in a family, and there must be many women who admire such outstanding talents as Brother Qingyang." Where is my turn to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wei State Mansion? ”

Seeing her respond like this, Mama Qin looked at her fixedly for a moment. Xie Ning was panicked by this, and was about to speak out, when he saw that Mama Qin was not angry and laughed: "I can understand why you didn't do anything on the boat today." You said to yourself, did you never think about integrating into Jingzhong, and you have always only felt that you were an outsider who watched from the sidelines? You don't have to fight for anything with people, and you don't have to grab anything from people? ”

Shouldn't it be so? Xie Ning looked at Mama Qin in a daze, only to feel inexplicably flustered. When she first arrived in the capital and lived in the Hou Mansion, she was not from this place, and she was incompatible with the surrounding group of nobles. Even if she was unwilling, she had to admit that those girls from powerful families were indeed much better than her, a "soil bun" who couldn't read a few big words.
