"I'm sorry." Deng Changnian opened his mouth and looked at Shen Rouning, extremely gloomy.

Shen Rouning was stunned and shook her head: "Why do you say that?" I don't understand. ”

Deng Changnian pursed his lips and said gloomily: "Just now, my aunt told me about you...... "He, the marquis, can only be regarded as an upstart at best, and he has almost no foundation in the capital!" A lot of information, he simply has no ability and no way to get it in time! And when he knew, it was just as Mrs. Shen Si said, it was too late and too late to help anything.

"If I had known earlier, I could have done something for you."

"It's none of your business." Shen Rouning glanced at the bracelet again, showed a smile, and said, "Cousin Deng has a heart, and Ah Ning is already very grateful." Cousin, don't say anything like that again. ”

Deng Changnian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He has always been able to drag the two concubines who did not choose a certain marriage with the two concubines of Mingyi Houfu, because he secretly encouraged his uncle and two cousins who were very speculative to think about the prince - the prince has grown up, and the concubines of Mingyi Houfu are absolutely qualified to compete for the position of the crown princess. Even if the crown princess can't compete, the value of a prince's side concubine is much more valuable than a shallow foundation of Mrs. Hou. Moreover, the marriage with Deng for many years is a kiss and a kiss, as long as it is a concubine, which one can't do it? Therefore, it is still necessary to wait until the news from the prince's side is confirmed, and then it is not too late to discuss the relationship with Deng Changnian.

But even so, because Zheng Zhu'er is mediocre and has no brilliance on her body, she is not as beautiful and lively as Zheng Yue'er, and her dancing skills are unique. Therefore, on the prince's side, the Mingyi Houfu put more hope on Zheng Yue'er, and hinted several times that Deng Changnian asked to marry Zheng Zhu'er...... It was probably a misunderstanding that Deng Changnian didn't like the average-looking Zheng Zhu'er, so Mingyi Hou Shizi didn't press it very hard.

When the news of the draft came out, Deng Changnian was still glad that he could continue to drag on for a while...... Unexpectedly, this draft is even more rushing for Shen Rouning!

He should have thought of it a long time ago.

That day, when Shen Duanrong told him about the past, he thought that there would be today's scene. A string of Buddhist beads left behind...... But in the end, he was so naïve! At that time. Since he thought of it, he should have made a decision immediately and asked Mrs. Shen Si to marry Shen Rouning! Instead of just pretending to leave a string of useless beads!

What a foolishness!

Deng Changnian hated himself very much in his heart!

Or rather, in his heart. I really gave up the idea of marrying her a long time ago! It's that his heart is mixed too much, and he is not firm enough. I've been hesitating. Procrastination!

He wasn't as ...... as he thought he would be Affectionate.

Deng Changnian felt bitter in his heart, and after finding that Shen Rouning's gaze lingered on his wrist, he felt more and more unbearable. Stopped looking away, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Ning, didn't Brother Chen tell Qin Xu about your matter very early?" Then Qin Xu was urgently ordered to leave Beijing and return to the army, do you also know? ”

Shen Rouning nodded slightly.

Qin Xu failed to invite the elders in the family. also because of his actions, which directly prompted Shen Rouning's name to fall on the draft list in advance, revealing everything, and there was no slightest luck.

For such a result, Shen Rouning was a little disappointed-

In the end, she still failed to help and make Chen Fu pay less.

Deng Changnian paused, and then said with some difficulty: "Brother Chen, you didn't tell me earlier. If he knew that Emperor Qinglong had deliberately gone to that valley to see Shen Rouning, he would definitely act immediately...... Or is it like Qin Xu who procrastinated?

Now it doesn't make sense to assume this.

Deng Changnian froze, thought about it, looked at Shen Rouning, and swayed hesitantly again.

Shen Rouning was a little puzzled and said, "What does Cousin Deng want to say, just open your mouth." "She's not the kind of person who gets angry when she hears something bad.

"Ah Ning......" Deng Changnian lowered his head and struggled for a long time, but when he looked up again, he smiled, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." I'm just thinking about my own years. ”

At this moment, no matter what is said, it only seems hypocritical and superfluous.

Deng Changnian got up and said to Shen Rouning: "Ah Ning, I'm leaving." Take care. ”

With that, he turned around and left the pavilion, leaving Shen Rouning's sight with Chen Houji, who was waiting on the side of the road.

Out of Chen's Mansion, Deng Changnian looked at the empty long street, and for a while, he was a little dazed. He didn't ride a horse, and walked slowly back to the mighty Houfu along the long street.

"Master Hou, someone took the sign of Dingwu Hou and asked to see you, Master Hou." A guard said.

Deng Changnian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about others?" ”

"You're not here, the little one left him waiting in the side hall." The guard replied.

Deng Changnian nodded, strode to the side hall, and saw a young man he didn't know sitting in it, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Dingwu Hou sent someone?" ”

The young man glanced around.

Deng Changnian waved his hand, and the people waiting for him retreated and closed the door. The young man, who had bowed slightly, immediately stood up straight, raised his eyes to look at Deng Changnian, and said, "Deng Shao went to the Chen Mansion?" ”

"Qin Xu?" Deng Changnian heard his voice, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "It turns out that Xu Shao didn't leave." He glanced at Qin Xu's disguised dress, and didn't say anything more, but stretched out his hand to invite him, and said, "Xu Shao, please take a seat." ”

"Yes, I did come back from the Chen Mansion." Deng Changnian said, "Early this morning, Mrs. Shen Si sent someone to invite me over...... Give me back the beads I left behind. He turned the beads on his wrist.

"Oh?" Qin Xu raised his eyebrows: "Do you have any words?" ”

Deng Changnian touched the Buddha beads and said calmly: "When I was stationed in Xuzhou Mansion, I left this Buddha bead to Shen Duanrong in the Shen Mansion once, and told him that at a critical time, he could say that this thing was a token of the relationship between the two families...... Early this morning, Mrs. Shen Si found me and returned the item to me. ”

Qin Xu stared at Deng Changnian: "Then you will take it back?" You...... Are you scared? ”

"You say yes." Deng Changnian's expression was gloomy: "...... But, useless. If it is useful...... "Even if you are afraid, you will grit your teeth and fight in the end!"

Qin Xu was about to mock, but when he opened his mouth, he said bitterly: "I came to you, I originally thought that you should be more qualified than me, to fight for her......" can also be more open to fight! There is a Guogong Mansion behind him Qin Xu who is controlled by others, but Deng Changnian does not have so many worries about him!

But now that I think about it, it's that he takes it for granted.

Deng has been fighting for many years to this day, and he has gone through many dangers and difficulties, how could he be so willing to take all of them to fight? If he really had a heart, when he had a little fame, he should have been like Shen Fu asking for marriage, instead of always talking to Mingyi Houfu! (To be continued.) )
