Chapter 133: Talking
"The Duke of Wei is such a big family as Zhumen, where can I afford it, not to mention that Wei Qingyang is still the eldest son of the Changfang Branch, and he will have to take over the court and inherit the title in the future."
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 has already been clearly expressed, even if she can't finish the thoughts in her heart, Pei Xinghai can still guess three points about the thoughts of the girl in front of her who has watched her grow 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 too careful, since the two governments are talking about marriage, the other party insists on asking to marry." Presumably this Wei Qingyang Wei Gongzi. It must be intentional about 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." Wei Qingyang's refusal to do so is common sense. But he did the opposite. It's a little weird. ”
"You just said that. It's also reasonable," Pei Xinghai held his chin and continued to mutter: "But the Marquis of the Guogong Mansion." What can we plan from us? I think you're too surprised, you're dizzy, aren't you? This kind of family affair can be said to be excellent if it falls on the heads of those young ladies of the family. Such hesitation is really not in your nature. Could it be that you have someone else in mind? ”
might as well Pei Xinghai suddenly said this, Xie Ning's eyes couldn't help but widen, temporarily put down the things that bothered him, and waved his hand with a wry smile to clarify: "How can I have any favorite person." You don't want to think about it, I only know a few men in Beijing. ”
Seeing her face slightly, Pei Xinghai's expression also eased a little, raised his lips and smiled, and compromised with Xie Ning: "Okay, okay, it's Uncle Pei's nonsense." But you should think about this matter carefully, after all, it is your two elders who have set up a family affair for you, and you don't have to easily disappoint them. ”
"Two, the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion has arrived!"
The sedan chair stopped at this time, and the call of the sedan chair driver came from outside the sedan door, but the two people in the sedan chair did not rush to answer. Xie Ning said "Wait a minute" before turning his head to Pei Xinghai and admitting, "Uncle Pei, don't worry." According to my father's intentions, he also wants me to do this family business. However, this has come too suddenly, and I will have to think more carefully before replying. ”
"Well," Pei Xinghai nodded and agreed: "This matter is by no means a trivial matter, after all, it is up to you to make your own decision." You don't have to act hastily, you girls should always be more dignified when discussing family affairs, even if you think about it for a little more time, it is reasonable, and it is not a great deal. ”
After many years of getting along, how could Xie Ning not know about Uncle Pei's repeated advice? Her heart warmed, and she immediately replied, "Uncle Pei, don't worry, I will think about it carefully." ”
The family affairs of the Wei Mansion may be willing and eager in the eyes of others, but now she is hesitant, and Uncle Pei, who is regarded by her as an elder, is not persecuted in the slightest, but completely follows her wishes.
Pei Xinghai can do this, and her father Xie Yunzhong can naturally do it. It is precisely because of this that Shainin can consider the pros and cons of this family business. Otherwise, according to the orders of her parents, the words of matchmakers, and other words, where would she have any choice, it is estimated that she would have been tied up to the Duke of Wei Mansion to marry a family long ago.
While the warmth swelled up in his heart, Xie Ning couldn't help but be a little secretly happy. After chatting with Pei Xinghai for a few more words, the two parted at the gate of the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion. Seeing the sedan chair carrying the two of them head in the direction of the post house again, Xie Ning turned around and walked into the gate of the Hou Mansion.
But she only walked in a few steps, and she bumped into Gao Yiyao, who was surrounded by a group of maids and walked in style.
With things in mind, Xie Ning didn't pay attention to the situation around him. By the time she noticed the mighty group of figures in front of her, Gao Yiyao had already walked to her side. Even the dark lines embroidered on the Wei Zitianluo skirt she was wearing, Xie Ning could see it clearly.
Since Gao Yiyan reduced her conversation with Shaining, Xie Ning has had a lot less trouble. Without Gao Yiyan stirring up, Xie Ning was happy, so he was even more reluctant to come to the sisters' side, with Gao Yiyao's arrogant temperament, he was naturally even more reluctant to take the initiative to associate with her. Even when they are in front of people, they also go their own way, and if they are not necessary, they rarely talk to them.
Therefore, now the two met by chance in the house, but it was also a little embarrassing. Gao Yiyao's attitude was cold, and Xie Ning didn't have the intention of pleasing the other party, just nodded at the other party, and was about to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, Gao Yiyao suddenly stopped and shouted, "Cousin Xie." ”
This tone was a rare enthusiasm, but it made Xie Ning's eyebrows jump suddenly. Judging from her past experience, whenever she is involved with the two sisters Gao Yiyao and Gao Yiyan, she will always encounter something bad.
But intentionally or unintentionally, the other party is his cousin after all, and when he meets him head-on, he knows that it is strange, and Xie Ning is not easy to ignore, so he also squeezed out a standard smile when socializing, and responded: "Cousin Yao." (To be continued.) )
