To Chonghua's surprise, the legendary Secret Imperial Historian generously agreed to the invitation to meet with the eldest master of the Ning family. This move made everyone in the Ning family who knew about this matter agitated. Master Ning was stunned for two or three seconds when he heard the news. I thought that people would give up withdrawing money from the Ning family because of such harsh conditions. I didn't expect this secret imperial history to be so easy to speak. That's a bit of a weirdness. Second Master Ning couldn't be more complacent, the most shining eight achievements in his life were on this day. The second lady went from surprise to confusion to finally felt that maybe the secret imperial history agreed to meet because Ning Ruolin was going to marry into the relationship of the Xianguo family. After all, the secret imperial history also has to give the second son of Xianguo some face. It makes sense to think about it. The fifth lady over there in Lixiangyuan twisted the handkerchief and was full of unwillingness. If Chonghua carried this black cauldron, he would not be the second room now. The more she thought about it, the more the fifth lady felt unbearable chest tightness. I don't care about the emphasis on China at all, which makes people anxious. Chonghua leaned against the window and watched the shadows of the trees swaying outside. It's weird. It does not fit her experience with reading novels and knowing about antiquity. Ordinary ministers will never reveal their identities until the last moment. This is especially true for such a big thing as investigating the sale of smuggled salt. Not to mention asking for money from local wealthy families. This is not in keeping with the investigators' approach. Although it is not excluded to use this to test the gold and silver of the rich. But then there is no need to agree to meet. For a while, the Ning family was full of suspicions. Ning Ruolin didn't think about it that much. She had already regarded herself as the second lady of the Xianguo Mansion, and her pride seeped out of her skin. When the sisters occasionally get together for tea and flowers, the style is definitely enough. At the beginning, Ning Ruolin was very active with Chonghua for a while, and when she saw that Chonghua didn't react, she became extra vigilant. For fear that Chonghua would not show it on his face, he was actually thinking about how to win back the attention of the second son. After carefully observing for a while, he still didn't see Chonghua make any moves, so he gradually relaxed his mind. "The second son favors our family, which is also a blessing for our family." How could a child know about borrowing money, and the ladies in each room only knew that the second son was going to invite Master Ning to come over for tea. Ning Ruolin held the teacup with a smile, today's tea was sent by the second son, and it was much sweeter and more delicious than before. Chonghua propped his cheeks and looked at the large peony flowers in the yard. For her at first, this kind of party can also take a look at the dressing of ancient women, but after a long time, the content of the chat is too empty, and only boredom remains. "The third sister has no evidence, let us meet our future brother-in-law that day." Ning Ruochen complained coquettishly. Chonghua glanced at Ning Ruochen without a trace, this can be regarded as finding fault, right? Too superficial, not deep enough. But also, at this age, it's already good. Changed to modern children, I am afraid that they are immersed in the pleasant goat and the beautiful goat and can't extricate themselves. Ning Ruolin pressed the corner of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and smiled faintly: "On the day of marriage, my sister will naturally be able to see it." Throwing the spearhead back painlessly, Ning Ruolin glanced at Chonghua as if she was inadvertent. found that Chonghua was still looking at the flowers in the courtyard, without any expression of pain or envy. "If the fifth sister likes the flowers in my sister's yard, will my sister ask her to send you some later?" Ning Ruolin asked with a smile. Chonghua came back to her senses and looked at the girls who were staring at her. Smiled: "Oh, no need. It drove so well, what a pity to fold it off. Ning Ruolin said slightly proudly: "It's just some weeds, what's the pity." Chonghua straightened his cuffs and turned around to sit down, and asked casually as if he didn't care, "What did the seventh sister say just now?" Ning Ruochen, who was being hit, heard Chonghua's question, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Sister Fang Cai begged the third sister to let us see the demeanor of my brother-in-law, and the third sister said that we could only see it on the day we got married." Chonghua glanced at Ning Ruochen in some surprise. Ning Ruochen, who was originally full of interest, was a little flustered by her glance. These words are not meant to be spoken by a sister. As a sister, I want to see my brother-in-law...... That's a lot of information, isn't it? Ning Ruolin pursed her lips and smiled and picked up a piece of tea fruit, waiting for Chonghua's reaction. Chonghua looked at Ning Ruochen's gaze in surprise, and when she turned her face, her eyes were still surprised, but this time she didn't ask Ning Ruolin, but asked Ning Ruoqing, who was sitting next to her: "Fourth sister, is the concubine and groom also coming to greet you?" Everyone was stunned. Ning Ruolin's hand holding the tea fruit was unstable, and the soft tea fruit was suddenly pinched into pieces. Ning Ruoqing looked at Chonghua even more dumbfounded, but saw that Chonghua was innocent on his face. For a moment, I couldn't tell if she was intentional or if she really didn't understand. "What a concubine! It's a flat wife! Ning Ruolin screamed. can't be a wife, it's the same as a crack on fine porcelain that can't be erased. Although it is small, it is completely an eyesore. Destroys the beauty of the body. Chonghua frowned suspiciously: "What is the difference between a flat wife and a concubine?" Ning Ruolin's face changed, and she shouted loudly: "You! You deceive people too much! With that, he covered his face with a handkerchief and ran out in tears. Leave the stunned crowd behind. "Poof......" Ning Ruoqing was the first to laugh out loud. The other sisters looked at each other and laughed out loud. In the past few days, because of Ning Ruolin's relationship with climbing high branches, the sisters in the depressed rooms have been blocked in their hearts. Now that Chonghua asked it like this, everyone's hearts suddenly brightened. What about Gao Zhi, it's not a concubine. Even if he is favored, can he still be higher than his wife? is such a high-ranking family, and the status of the wife must not be low. No matter how much you love the concubine, there is no one who spoils the concubine and destroys the wife. It's been fresh for a while, but it's not yet known what will happen in the future. When I think about it this way, my heart is much more relaxed. Chonghua shook the fan and lowered his head to drink tea. Ning Ruolin cried all the way to the courtyard of the second lady, and almost bumped into the big girls who were coming towards her. "Anything that doesn't have long eyes, get out of the way." I don't know who she was scolding, Ning Ruolin's voice changed. The second lady was worshipping the Buddha when she heard the noise outside and suddenly had a headache. "Mother, my daughter is no longer alive. Everyone laughs at their daughter. Ning Ruolin cried so much that her eyes were swollen. The second lady wrung her eyebrows and glanced at her, and sighed: "What's the matter?" "It's not that Ning Chonghua yet, she said that her daughter is a concubine." Ning Ruolin cried and sobbed. The second lady's heart was tight, although she said that she was a flat wife, she was not much different from a concubine. After all, it's not a wife. This Chonghua is really heart-wrenching.
