Chapter Ninety-Four: What is the Origin?
Going out with the fat and cream, Xie Ning was about to look for Mingshuang and Gu Sui, and the two stepped forward first and handed over a letter.
"Miss, this is a servant woman from the outer courtyard of Fangcai, saying that one of your uncles sent someone to leave this letter." Seeing Xie Ning stretch out his hand to take it, Mingshuang explained in a timely manner.
Uncle Shi, is it Uncle Pei? There was no signature on the outside of the envelope, Shainin quickly opened the letter, hurriedly skimmed through the payment, and then turned to read the contents of the letter.
Standing beside her, Mama Qin didn't look closer, and waited until she put down the letter in her hand before asking, "Who wrote to you?"
"It's Uncle Pei, the captain of our Shu Di Pengyong Army." Xie Ning replied, but he was a little embarrassed by what was written in this letter, and couldn't help but ask Mama Qin for advice, "Before leaving Shu, my father had paid the family's property seal trust to Uncle Pei for safekeeping. ”
Pei Xinghai's letter was written in detail, there were six days of time in the first ten days, and the training of the troops had been completed, Xie Ning should have responded to this matter, but he hesitated because of the grudge with King Xuan.
"It's just," Xie Ning hesitated, and his tone paused before continuing: "Mama also knows, I have inadvertently offended King Xuan a few times, and now he must be eyeing me, if I travel rashly, I don't know if I will cause any trouble in vain." ”
Ruyifang's disturbance is not counted, just what she did on the day of the banquet in King An's Mansion was enough to arouse Qin Xi's resentment, not to mention the restaurant half a month ago, in order to protect Qin Feng, she was in a hurry, and she also snatched a jade flute from him by mistake. In these two and three battles, although Xie Ning didn't take advantage of him, he didn't suffer any losses, what kind of anger did he bear, with Qin Xi's heart of retribution, how could he let her go easily?
After being mentioned by Qin Feng in advance and discussing with Mama Qin, Xie Ning intentionally or unintentionally reduced the number of times he went out, and in the past half a month, only on the day of the banquet in the Wei Mansion, he had only gone out once with Xiang and others, but now that Uncle Pei was invited, she didn't know whether to go out or not.
It doesn't hurt for her to have a grudge with Qin Xi, but I'm afraid that this unscrupulous and ruthless prince will be detrimental to the people around her.
Mama Qin was familiar with the cause and effect, and she was clear about Xie Ning's hesitation, but she was not in a hurry to give her opinion, but looked at Xie Ning, and asked suspiciously: "Why is your Xie family's seal letter entrusted to an outsider?" What's more, you've been in Beijing for a long time, why did this Captain Pei send someone to the door?"
Seeing her guarded expression, Xie Ning gently patted the back of Mama Qin's hand and explained slowly: "Mama doesn't know, although my father and Uncle Pei are not the same age, they are friends who have lived for several years. It's just a seal letter, and the Shu Road is dangerous, and it is safer to hand it over to him than to put it here with me. ”
"As for the fact that he only sent someone to the door to tell him today, but there was another reason," Xie Ning didn't want Mama Qin to misunderstand, so he explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail, "Uncle Pei and his party left Shu and entered Beijing, and they sent me just by the way, but in fact, they were under the emperor's order and had to go to the military department to report on their work." ”
Noticing that the suspicion on Mama Qin's face had subsided, Xie Ning smiled and said, "What's more, the DPRK intends to negotiate peace with Miao Jiang, and since he entered Beijing, he has not had much time to spare, so naturally he can't spare time to do this." Later, when he had a day to spare, I was busy with the training of the soldiers, and the two of us agreed to wait until he had another day to check on the family property. ”
Mama Qin's eyes flashed, and she frowned without a trace, but said in a deep voice: "When did the deliberations of this military department drag on like this." I think it's because I'm old, and I'm no longer well-informed, so I haven't been able to learn the specific details of this matter. ”
Xie Ning frowned and said: "Mama, don't think nonsense, you accompany me in this courtyard all day long, without leaving the house, if you can still learn about the big and small affairs in Beijing, it will be strange." ”
"Heh," Mama Qin glanced at her, with a hint of a smile on her face, "You girl, you can be regarded as a match for me, and you don't pretend to say that I am not old at all." ”
"Hehe," after receiving such praise from Mama Qin, Xie Ning couldn't help grinning, and when he caught a glimpse of Mama Qin's gaze, he quickly smoothed the corners of his mouth a little, and smiled silently in his heart.
On the first day when Mama Qin taught her the rules, she told her that women are beautiful when they are quiet and graceful outside, even if they change their emotions, they must pay attention to their manners, even if they are happy in their hearts, they can't lose their sense of proportion in front of people.
Mama Qin teaches too many things, if she doesn't study on weekdays, when it's time to use it, I'm afraid she may not be able to remember it. Xie Ning had never been involved in this area, and he was not happy to get started, knowing that he had no talent, so he had to make up for his clumsiness with diligence. Before and after others, she will always pay attention to it, and will not let herself do anything inappropriate.
"However," Mama Qin pondered for a moment and said slowly, "It's up to you to decide this matter yourself." Although the recent turmoil has not started, King Xuan may not be willing to give up. ”
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, if King Xuan insisted on embarrassing her, she would want to hide again, and where could she hide. King Xuan's methods are vicious and his mind is ruthless, although Xie Ning is worried that he will be designed by him, but he is even more afraid that Uncle Pei will be affected by her.
After thinking about it in his heart for a while, Xie Ning raised his head and asked, "Mama, if I leave the mansion, will King Xuan receive the news, know where I am going, and who will I go with?" ”
Hearing the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, what kind of character Mama Qin is, as early as the beginning of Xie Ning's mouth, the guess in her heart has already taken shape, and she glanced at Mingshuang and Gu Sui meaningfully, and only after the two people standing beside her walked away with interest, did she reply to Xie Ning: "King Xuan has a restrained temperament since he was a child, and his temperament is also narrow, and it is really your girl's bad luck to provoke him." As for whether he will send someone to find out your whereabouts outside the Hou Mansion, I don't know. ”
Xie Ning heard what Mama Qin had just said, but as soon as his heart moved, he said tentatively: "Mama and King Xuan, are they also deeply related?" "Qin Xi is the only sister-in-law today, and Mama Qin is the old person next to the first queen, if there is no relationship between these two people, it is really hard for Xie Ning to believe.
But...... Mama Qin has served the first queen, so Qin Xi can also be called her old master. Why was there a trace of contempt in Mama Qin's tone when she mentioned him?
For some reason, Xie Ning remembered the jade flute that Qin Feng asked her to hand over to Mama Qin, and her already chaotic thoughts became more and more complicated. This intricate relationship had to make Xie Ning sigh with emotion and sigh at the royal secrets.
