By the way, after having lunch here, Pei Xinghai rented a small sedan chair, and Xie Ning calculated the distance, so he proposed to go to the post house first, and then go back to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as the two arrived at the post house, they met a group of messengers from the post road. I don't know if the other party is from Yandi, Xie Ning was concerned, so he stepped forward and asked: "Brothers, where are you from, can you tell me?" ”

But the leader who walked in front of the messenger who saw the dusty messenger replied in a loud voice: "We have come to Beijing from Shudi. ”

From Shudi? Although the other party's answer was not Yandi, Xie Ning was still happy in his heart, and was about to make an inquiry, when he saw that Pei Xinghai, who had placed the pastries properly, had not yet come here, but he had already asked first: "Pei Xinghai in Xia Shu, I don't know if Peng Yongjun can have a letter?" ”

Pei Xinghai landed as soon as he spoke, and the man asked a few words to the person behind him, and after a while, he took out a few letters sealed with lacquer. Xie Ning looked at it from a distance, and it was still a military aircraft report, his brows were about to wrinkle, and when he looked at it, he realized that there was no seal of the seal.

Pei Xinghai nodded at their group, and then took the letter and read it carefully, Xie Ning was walking towards him, but Pei Xinghai suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Xie girl, your father's letter!" ”

Xie Ning was also overjoyed when he heard this, took the letter in Pei Xinghai's hand, and read it. When the black and white words came into view, she realized that the content of the letter was not an ordinary family letter, but a letter of inquiry written to her by her father, and the matter asked was related to what she had been worried about recently.

The letter was also very elegantly written, not like her father's usual tone. But the handwriting was too sloppy and messy, and Xie Ning knew at a glance that it was written by her father. But think about it, for such a private matter, her father naturally won't find someone else to write for it.

His mood suddenly became heavy, and Xie Ning shook his head with mixed feelings. This action was not missed by Pei Xinghai, who was standing aside, but seeing that his eyes were stunned, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" But what happened?"

Hearing this, Xie Ning raised his head, barely squeezed out a bitter smile, and replied casually: "It's not a big deal." It's just that my father wrote to me to inquire about my family. Uncle Pei doesn't have to worry. ”

I don't know how she hides her thoughts. In the eyes of Pei Xinghai, who knew her well, she naturally couldn't hide it, not to mention the smile on the corner of Xie Ning's mouth that was more ugly than crying, and she had already betrayed her completely. It also made Pei Xinghai even more worried.

Together in Shudi. He has been with Xie's father and daughter for many years. Naturally, he would not be surprised by Xie Yunzhong's approach. is very different from those young ladies who are raised in the boudoir, Xie Ning's temperament is quite dislike restraint, and he has always been very assertive. Blind marriage and dumb marriage will definitely not work for her. Xie Yunzhong would write a letter to inquire, which was also reasonable, and it was not surprising to him.

But looking at Xie Ning's expression now, she obviously seems to be dissatisfied with this matter, that is, I don't know if she is simply hesitant about this family affair, or if she doesn't want to get married at this time.

Pei Xinghai thought to himself for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice, "But what's wrong with this family business?"

Just as Pei Xinghai knew Shainin very well, Shaining could naturally find something out of his subtle demeanor. Although this matter is related to life, Xie Ning, who has already made up her mind, has no intention of hiding it from Pei Xinghai, one is that she is hesitant in her heart, and she is still undecided, and the other is that Pei Xinghai is not an outsider to her, so it involves such privacy, and Xie Ning will not have reservations about him.

Looking at Pei Xinghai's slightly suspicious face, Xie Ning considered the wording, and then said frankly: "Uncle Pei doesn't know, what my father discussed with my uncle was a family affair with the Duke of Wei. ”

Hearing this, Pei Xinghai's face immediately changed, his eyes flickered at her, and he couldn't hold back the doubt in his heart, so he asked in a deep voice, "Wei Qingyang?" ”

These are three simple words, but they seem to tell countless inside stories. Xie Ning sighed secretly, nodded slightly, and motioned to Pei Xinghai to avoid the crowd on the left and right, and walked towards the small sedan chair he had rented before, while saying with a wry smile in a complicated mood: "Where can I afford to climb such a big family as the Duke of Wei's mansion, let alone Wei Qingyang is still the eldest son of the Changfang branch, and in the future, he will have to take over the court and inherit the title." ”

Following Xie Ning's footsteps and getting into the sedan chair, although Pei Xinghai was still in doubt, after listening to what Xie Ning had just said, he couldn't help but say suspiciously: "You are not such a presumptuous person. Although the difference between the gateways is somewhat difficult to deal with, it is not an unbridgeable gap, where is there any obstacle, why should you be so difficult? ”

If only things were as simple as Uncle Pei said. Xie Ning secretly scolded in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to explain to him, but saw the other party suddenly cast a glance at her, and then guessed out loud with a straight face: "Could it be that there is something hidden in it that makes you so hesitant about this matter?" ”

Seeing that Pei Xinghai revealed his thoughts, Xie Ning, who had no intention of concealing it, would not hide it, "I thought that this matter was just a wishful thinking arrangement between the elders, not Wei Qingyang's original intention. If he didn't want to, this family affair would be shelved by both parties naturally, but he didn't expect that not only did he know about this marriage discussion, but he didn't resist it. I'm really puzzled-"

The small sedan chair in which the two of them were riding had left the post house and was heading towards the Jingyang Marquis Mansion where Xie Ning lived. The places along the way became more and more prosperous, the cries of street vendors, the conversations of pedestrians, the shouts of entertainers, and the voices of teahouses and restaurants beckoning guests were endless, but Shain's voice was not overpowered by the sound outside the sedan chair, but became more and more passionate the more he spoke. Pei Xinghai was listening attentively, but unexpectedly, Xie Ning's words suddenly stopped, but the meaning of her words had already been clearly expressed, even if she couldn't finish the thoughts in her heart, Pei Xinghai could still guess three points about the thoughts of the girl in front of her who had grown up.

But seeing that he frowned without a trace, he let go of it very quickly, and when he looked up at Xie Ning, he also had a gentle look, "You don't have to be careful, since the two governments are talking about marriage, and the other party insists on marrying, presumably this Wei Qingyang Wei Gongzi must be interested in you." ”

Xie Ning shook his head a little bitterly, and did not tell the truth about the current situation of the Wei State Mansion in the eyes of the royal family, but said lightly: "Uncle Pei, don't make fun of me, don't you know what I look like." If Wei Qingyang refused to do this, it was expected by me, but he should have done it, so it was inevitably a little strange to do the opposite. ”

"What you just said, but it is true." (To be continued.) )
