"My Fair Lady, what is wrong with a gentleman? If it is shameless to talk about marriage, then I don't know how many men and women in the world will bear this unwarranted infamy. ”

Xie Ning's words landed, Gao Yiyao couldn't help but look stunned, and only after a moment did she sneer at each other: "Okay, let me ask you, if you haven't taught and received it privately with Wei Gongzi, then how can this family affair fall on you?" ”

Xie Ning's face was hot, and the flush that suddenly appeared on his cheeks was full of surging qi and blood, but it was not because of shyness, but simply angry. She never thought that in Gao Yiyao's eyes, this family affair was actually won by herself.

Compared with Gao Yiyao, Xie Ning admits that she is not an excellent candidate, and she also understands how far she is from others. But no matter how many flaws she has, she will not rely on private teaching to catch a family business.

After a long silence, Xie Ning looked at Gao Yiyao in disbelief, the impulse in his heart was already irrepressible, a pair of apricot eyes were wide open, and his hands were clenched into fists, "I disappointed my cousin, Xie Ning has never done anything unacceptable." My cousin is fond of Wei Gongzi, and he shouldn't ruin my reputation because of this. If my cousin has doubts in my heart, I can ask the elders of the two mansions and come to ask my cousin what I mean? ”

Gao Yiyao snorted coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "You didn't ask me?" Obviously, the Guogong Mansion is discussing with our Jingyang Marquis Mansion, even if you are among them, it is just by the way. But who knew that Wei Qingyang would choose you in the end - I didn't like him, if I lost to others, I would naturally be convinced. But I lost to you. ”

Compared with Gao Yiyao's loss of control, Xie Ning suddenly calmed down. Slowly spread your hands at your sides. Xie Ning took out the letter he got from the post house today from his arms, looked up at Gao Yiyao, and said lightly: "You misunderstood from the beginning. Long before I went to Beijing, the Duke of Wei had already intended to form a good relationship with our Xie family, and even the news of this marriage was sent to Shu first, and then to the Hou Mansion. ”

"How is that possible?" Gao Yiyao's expression froze, and then she shook her head conclusively and vetoed: "You must be talking nonsense." Your father is just a five-grade petty official, and he is far away in Shu. How could the Guogong Mansion be interested in marrying you? ”

Shainin glanced at her and didn't bother with her much. He just raised the letter in his hand. He sneered and said, "This is a letter written by my father today, and it is clearly written. This matter of discussing relatives was brought up by the Duke of Wei on his own initiative in March of this year. At that time, I didn't talk about your Jingyang Marquis Mansion. As for the matter of the two governments. At first, you used to deceive me. I haven't asked you why you're so deceitful. You're running backwards to hold me accountable, aren't you? ”

Hearing this, Gao Yiyao looked incredulous, and immediately lost her voice: "Impossible." Bring your letters. Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly stretched out her hand and walked in the direction of the letter.

didn't want her to move suddenly, Xie Ning subconsciously grabbed her wrist and easily restrained her, "Whether you believe it or not, in short, I'll do all I say." If you really want to know the details, why don't you ask your mother yourself? ”

Gao Yiyao's face stiffened, glared at Xie Ning fiercely, and then struggled to exert his strength, and his wrist broke free from Xie Ning's confinement, and said in a very unnatural cold voice: "If this matter is really as you say, then count me talking nonsense and come back to apologize to you another day." If you're just quibbling, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Seeing that she was still a little sensible, Xie Ning's complexion was three points better, "Whether there is any transgression between me and Wei Gongzi, my cousin should know it." Xie Ning didn't want to suffer such an unwarranted disaster again, and asked his cousin to be cautious. ”

After saying that, they walked forward. Although it was unpleasant, Xie Ning was not incomprehensible about Gao Yiyao's words and deeds. As she just said, she is as arrogant as her, and she will naturally not be willing to be willing to easily and accuse Wei Qingyang of the result of choosing herself.

But then again, Xie Ning himself also had a half-understanding of the intentions of the Guogong Mansion and Wei Qingyang. According to her father's letter, the Wei State Mansion had long intended to discuss her marriage, and after she entered Beijing, she wrote to inquire many times.

What Wei Qingyang said yesterday is still in my ears. If it weren't for Xie Ning's self-knowledge, I am afraid that she would mistakenly think that the other party was interested in her. But after receiving her father's letter today, she learned that long before the two met, the Guogong Mansion had mentioned this family matter to her father.

Thanks to Mama Qin's previous teachings, Xie Ning knows a lot about the Duke of Wei. As the eldest grandson who has not yet inherited the title, Wei Qingyang, who has been passed down for three generations, is one of the few males in the family. His father, Wei Guogong, guards the border all the year round, and he and Wei Chengcheng, brother and sister, also returned to the capital at this age. He had never met Xie Ningke before, and it was really a bit rash to send someone to Shu to discuss the matter of marriage.

What puzzled Xie Ning even more was the reason why the Duke of Wei chose her. Even though she grew up in the military camp and was not from a high background, she would not arouse the jealousy of the royal family, but there are so many women in the world, why did she only choose her?

Despite being full of worries, Xie Ning carried the salute in his hand, but he still walked easily. Her father had made it clear in the letter that it was up to her to decide whether or not to accept this family business. Xie Ning has no pressure, so he naturally doesn't have to look ahead and backward when he thinks about advancing and retreating.

The next day, August 15

Although it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xie Ning still got up early, washed up quickly, and was about to stretch his fists and feet in the courtyard when he was attracted by a series of footsteps outside.

The small courtyard where she lives is a remote place in the Hou Mansion, and it is rarely visited by people in normal times. Therefore, Xie Ning could assert without hesitation that this group of five people must have come to look for her when they went here.

It's just that now before the dawn, the sky is still very early, and what is the matter with this group of people coming to the door?

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door from outside the courtyard, Xie Ning put away the faint doubts in her heart, Mama Qin, Gu Sui and the others were still asleep, for fear that the knock on the door would wake everyone up, she didn't hesitate much, and walked forward quickly.

Opened the door lightly, Xie Ning raised his eyes and looked, the first thing he saw was not Lou's mother standing in front of her, but Xiang's who was supported by two little maids behind her.

But seeing that she was wearing a turmeric phoenix tail skirt, a lotus seed Mi Dongzhu around her neck, wearing a Peicui inlaid hosta, and several golden hairpins were inserted in her hair tied into a peony bun, and her face was carefully painted makeup, and the whole person was standing at the door, dignified with a bit of nobility.
