Chapter 202: Your Son
Xiao Yan suddenly had a premonition that something was wrong in his heart, and his eyebrows jumped, so he looked at Qin Feng with a strange expression: "It won't be ......"
"Far away in the sky, close in front of you," Qin Feng smiled slightly, and naturally took his words.
Xiao Yan's eyes widened and he questioned, "Huh? Not to mention whether Xie Ning is willing or not, Ziyue, Shu Dihe is still under negotiation, and the matter of the martial arts hall has not yet been implemented, do you have time then? ”
Qin Feng glanced at him and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry." I have my own measure, and I won't miss a big thing. ”
"I'm not worried that you'll make a mistake because of this," Xiao Yan has known each other for many years, and Xiao Yan still has confidence in Qin Feng's true strength, but at the moment, he still can't help but say more, "It's just that you put too much effort into Xie Ning." ”
Xiao Yan glanced at Qin Feng without saying anything, and after a slight pause in his voice, he slowly persuaded again: "I'm not against you joining her. It's just that she still has a marriage contract now, and I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for you to be so courteous and fall into the eyes of outsiders. If you really want her, why don't you think of a way to dissolve her marriage contract with Wei Qingyang first? ”
Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and the green tendons on his forehead suddenly moved, but he said in a light tone: "I understand what you mean, but there are some things that are not in a hurry." ”
Seeing that his reaction was so indifferent, Xiao Yan couldn't help frowning, and said indignantly: "Then you can't joke about Xie Ning's reputation, right?" She's a girl after all, what's the difference between you and that Xiang clan when you do this? ”
"What I'm going to do, why do I have to explain it to you." Qin Feng heard this. couldn't help but sink a face, and said coldly: "I have my own plans for her affairs, so I don't need you to meddle in her affairs." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Yan also became annoyed, and sneered: "Why can't I take care of her affairs?" Qin Ziyue, don't forget, in Xie Ning's eyes, you and I are her friends. ”
When his heart-wrenching words landed, Qin Feng's mood would naturally not be better. But he had to admit it. There is nothing wrong with what Xiao Yan said. As soon as his expression lagged, he raised his eyes to look at the other party, and pretended to be calm: "What you said is good." Right now, in her mind, I'm just a good friend to talk to. No different from you. And this. That's why I didn't break the engagement. Because I know it in my heart. If she doesn't have me in her heart, even if there is no Wei Qingyang in the future, there will be others. ”
It's rare to hear him pour out his heart. Xiao Yan's heart moved, the original anger was temporarily put down, the expression on his face softened by three points, put his hand to his lips, and coughed pretending to be disguised: "Cough, then, what are your plans for the future?" And the matter of Wei Qingyang that you mentioned earlier, is it just your secret speculation? ”
In fact, Xiao Yan's words were already very euphemistic, after all, according to what he thought in his heart, Qin Feng's views on Wei Qingyang were simply his own unwarranted conjectures.
Seeing the suspicious look on his face that was difficult to hide, Qin Feng didn't have any intention of telling him everything, but just said in an ominous voice: "There is no empirical evidence at the moment, and I can't slander him indiscriminately." ”
Xiao Yan glanced at him more and more suspiciously, and said directly: "Come on, what is there to say about you and me, why do you have to hide it if you have something to do with Xie Ning?" ”
At this point, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head and said with emotion: "But you have no intention of telling you, so I won't ask more, master." It's just that I have to remind you that if there is nothing wrong with Wei Qingyang, you had better pay attention to your actions, and don't let people grab any tricks. ”
Qin Feng lowered his gaze and replied lightly, "I know." ”
***
At the same time, the Marquis of Jingyang was in the house
As soon as Xie Ning got out of the carriage, he was welcomed in by the porter of the Hou Mansion. Originally, she was still wondering why the other party was so attentive, but after listening to what the other party said, she understood the reason.
It turned out that Liu ordered her to go to the Heling Courtyard as soon as she came back.
Therefore, when Xie Ning entered the door, the first thing he did was not to boil water to bathe, nor to go back to his room to sleep, but under the signal of Aunt Liang, he was led to Liu's room.
Perhaps because of the fatigue on the return trip, Liu was reclining on the couch at this time, leaning on a soft pillow behind him, and the little girl who was still playing a fan next to him, although her eyes were slightly closed, the tiredness on her face was difficult to hide.
"Grandmother," Shainin called out respectfully as he walked up to her.
When Liu heard the sound, Fang opened his eyes, but waved his hand at the little maid beside him. After the other party closed the door and came out, he turned his head to look at Xie Ning and said, "You are here, sit down." ”
Xie Ning sat on the other side of the couch according to his words, looked sideways at Liu's side from a distance of several cases, and asked directly: "I don't know why my grandmother called me here?" ”
Having said that, Shainin had a rough guess in his heart. It's just that when she resigned to Liu's before, the other party's attitude towards her seemed to be a little more alienated than before.
However, if you think about it carefully from Liu's point of view, what she asks for is just a peaceful illusion of "family and everything is prosperous", and Xie Ning's insistence on pursuing Xiang's is really embarrassing to her.
Regarding the matter of Fuwei Temple, the grandparents and grandchildren have their own opinions. If she had started all over again, Xie Ning would still have chosen her original approach, even if it would go against Liu's intentions.
Liu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Xie Ning, but did not mention the matter of Fuwei Temple as she thought, but asked about something else in a casual tone, "You went to see King An, did he talk to you about the martial arts hall?" ”
Looking up, seeing the soft look on the other party's face, Xie Ning was a little unsure of her mind for a while, and after a slight pause, he still told the truth as usual: "There is a mention." His Royal Highness King An also ordered me to go to the martial arts hall with him tomorrow to investigate. ”
"Hmm," Liu nodded with a satisfied expression, and as soon as his voice changed, he suddenly said, "Ning'er, do you want to live in the courtyard under my name?" ”
Rao was already prepared in his heart, Xie Ning heard this, but he still couldn't help but stagnate, and after a while, he calmed down the surprise in his heart, and said hesitantly: "Why did my grandmother say this?" ”
In all fairness, Shainin doesn't think there's anything wrong with going out to live. After all, she is now in the Hou Mansion, and the Xiang family is watching her. The residence is also remote and simple, and the life under the fence is really not comfortable.
She naturally wanted to get out, and even because of this matter, she decided to apply for the women's official examination. Liu's proposal should have been what she wanted. But it wasn't until the other party's voice fell that she suddenly realized that what she wanted from beginning to end was just a dignified and self-reliant door.
It was naturally good to be able to break away from Xiang, but she didn't do anything wrong. Because of this, she must ask Liu why she suddenly mentioned this move.
Xie Ning looked at Liu inquiringly, but seeing her eyes flashing, he raised his hand and patted the back of Xie Ning's hand. "It's just a grandmother's plan. Can it be done concretely? It depends on what your uncle means. Ning'er, you also know in your heart that your aunt has a knot in her heart for you. This time the matter of Fuwei Temple, you just happened to avoid it. What if she had any plans in the future...... Grandmother has a heart to protect you. But after all, I'm older......"
Liu shook his head with feeling. After a slight pause, he continued: "In short, my grandmother hopes that you will be less involved in these things. My annex is near the Goshi's martial arts hall. In the future, it will be convenient for you to stay. If you're worried about being alone, your grandmother will spend some time with you. What do you think? ”
Xie Ning looked at Liu's concerned expression, and his heart couldn't help but soften, and he subconsciously covered the back of her hand with his other hand, but for a while, he didn't know how to respond.
As the old lady of the Marquis of Jingyang, Xiang's mother-in-law, and Xie Ning's maternal grandmother, there are too many facts for the Liu family to consider, she naturally can't be as wanton as Xie Ning, she has a lot of things to take into account, and there are many causes and consequences to weigh.
Shainin couldn't selfishly ask her to choose a clear position between herself and the Xiang family, and she didn't want to put this elder who really cared about her in a dilemma.
"What my grandmother just said, I will think about it," Xie Ning quickly adjusted his emotions, naturally pulled out a smile, raised his eyes and looked at Liu, "Don't worry, Ning'er won't teach you to be embarrassed." Also, I've always been very self-reliant. If my uncle agrees to let me go out to live, you don't have to move in with me. ”
When Liu heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, looked up and glanced at Aunt Liang, and said in a relieved tone: "Then I'll be relieved." ”
Aunt Liang stepped forward and echoed: "Miss Biao is so sensible, where can you worry about the old lady." I saw that you were really worried before. ”
When Liu heard this, he shook his head slightly, smiled reluctantly, and denied in an astringent voice: "I can't ......do anything about it."
Her voice was so soft that only Aunt Liang, who was only an inch away from her, could be heard in the room. It was only because Xie Ning's ear was very good that he never missed hearing.
The other party did not mean to say this to her. Xie Ning felt more and more deeply Liu's unspeakable hardship, and his heart was also touched, and he was about to speak, when he saw Aunt Liang suddenly raise her head, but she looked at Liu again.
"Look at me, I'm just chatting with you."
Aunt Liang laughed heartily. This kind of smile was originally rare on her face, but now that it was in line with the scene at this time, Xie Ning felt more and more that she was deliberately covering it up. But the matter has come to this point, and for a while, she couldn't even think of anything to explain the Liu family, so she had to make a casual appearance and listen silently to Aunt Liang's relief.
"I almost forgot Miss Biao," Aunt Liang naturally nodded to Xie Ning when she saw Xie Ning's eyes, and said in a warm tone: "Miss Cousin has just returned to the mansion, and she has been tired all the way, but I am afraid that I haven't had time to clean it up yet." Old lady, don't you want to go out for a walk later? Let's not be bored in this room, let's go out for a walk quickly, and teach Miss Cousin to go back and rest." ”
As Liu's confidant, Aunt Liang treats people very properly, and she is more than a little stronger than Lou's mother. Of course, Xie Ning didn't say that she was inappropriate, but that the other party was hostile to her and targeted her everywhere, and her attitude was very contemptuous and rude.
Since Aunt Liang said this, Xie Ning did not stay in the Crane Ling Courtyard for long. After going back to his own courtyard to take a bath, he didn't have any interest in talking for a while, and chatted with Xiaoyue and Aoyagi for a while, and then lay down on the bed early.
The small courtyard of the Hou Mansion is naturally much better than that of the Fuwei Temple. There was no noisy cicada, and Xie Ning slept a good night's sleep that had been rare for days.
After waking up the second day, I was even more refreshed.
Yesterday, he had already made an appointment with Qin Feng to go to the martial arts hall, Xie Ning first got up and did a set of punches, and after breakfast, he changed his outfit.
Because he was going out to the martial arts hall, Xie Ning thought about it by himself, and found a men's suit from the box.
This dark blue robe was made by Mingshuang himself. Xie Ning didn't know much about embroidery, but when he wore it on his body, he only felt that the stitches were soft, and because this color and style were very ordinary, he became more and more satisfied.
She actually prefers to wear men's clothes rather than cumbersome dresses. What's more, she is a martial arts practitioner, and if she wears that kind of skirt that drags the floor, she is afraid that her movement will become more and more inconvenient.
Therefore, she has always kept two men's clothes in her cage.
And since the arrival of the bright frost, I don't know how she noticed this, she found the fabric herself, and began to make clothes without a sound. When Xie Ning first saw it, she only thought that the other party was making clothes for Qin Feng, and it wasn't until she mentioned it afterwards that Xie Ning suddenly realized that this dress was made for her.
The size of this robe fits very well, Xie Ning only raised his hand to stroke the folds at the neckline, and then tied the belt casually.
After combing his hair into a man's hairstyle, he heard Gu Sui next to him suddenly let out an exclamation-"Miss, you are dressed up like this, you really look like those noble sons from famous families in Beijing!" ”
Xie Ning only thought she was flattering, and when she heard this, she just smiled and didn't care too much. It wasn't until she finished cleaning up and examined herself in the speculum that she realized the meaning of Gu Sui's words.
The bronze mirror on the half of the body can only reflect a shadow of a few words. But Xie Ning looked fixedly, but saw that the person in the mirror was in a high-crowned brocade robe, with fair skin and a straight waist.
She hadn't smeared any ashes yet.
Xie Ning looked at the image in his mirror, almost laughing. I felt more and more that what Gu Sui said was reasonable, so I put aside Fang Cai's thoughts, and didn't smear any furnace ash like before.
But I didn't apply any powder.
His family knows his own affairs, and of course Shainin knows where his changes come from. Except for the fact that she has grown two inches taller in the past few months, the rest is almost all due to Mama Qin.
Although the time between them was not long, they were fortunate to be taught by the other party, which was already a great harvest for Shainin.
If there is no Mama Qin, I am afraid that to this day, Xie Ning is just a stupid girl who does not know etiquette and does not know how to communicate, even if she is ridiculed, she has nothing to refute. (To be continued.) )
