Chapter 17 Women disguise themselves as men
Ning Hong's heart was very confused, thinking about it, facing Jin Yuan's scorching gaze, he secretly gritted his teeth, and decided to lead the troubles to the east first, and then prevaricate the trouble in front of him.
"The incident of the military horse happened, I really can't guess it, the exchanges are all resources left over from the past generations, who knew that there would be such a big mistake this time, hey......"
Ning Hong sighed, glanced at Jin Yuan, and then added: "However, when the military horse was traded before, there was a little unpleasantness, so it was difficult to ......."
"Horse trade?" Jin Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked.
"Yes." Ning Hong slapped his palms and emphasized: "It's really a little unpleasant when trading, hey, it's all my fault!" If I could have endured a little at that time, there would have been such a big mistake! ”
Jin Yuan stared at Ning Hong for a moment, and just when Ning Hong was almost overwhelmed, Jin Yuan retracted his gaze, smiled slightly, and got up and said: "I see, the Lord Taifu suffered this unjustified disaster, since the root of the matter is known, presumably the emperor will be able to return justice to the Lord and bring the person who did the obstruction to justice!" ”
Jin Yuan's face was gentle, but his words were sonorous and powerful, Ning Hong couldn't help but shudder, and then noticed that he was a little out of shape, and quickly adjusted his expression, arched his hand towards Jin Yuan, and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Jin for your concern, this matter is still more troublesome." ”
"You're welcome." Jin Yuan returned the salute.
The two exchanged politeness for a while, and Jin Yuan said goodbye and left the Taifu Mansion.
Jin Yuan walked farther and farther away, and a figure walked out of the corner, and then followed quietly.
"What did you say, Miss? Woman dressed as a man?! An exclamation came from the small courtyard.
In front of the small round table carved with stone patterns, Ning Zhao sat casually, rubbing his fingers on the teacup, and when he heard this, he hurriedly made a silent gesture towards the green cicada, frowned slightly, and said, "What are you fuss about?" Do you want people to know that I want to dress as a man? ”
Qing Cicada knew that he was out of shape, and quickly looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at Ning Zhao, this breath was raised again.
"Why does the young lady want to dress up as a man, if the eldest lady knows about it, it is a small trouble for you, if you use this matter to manipulate you and ruin your reputation, then what should it be?"
Thinking of the handkerchief incident before, Qing Cicada felt afraid, although I don't know how the young lady adjusted the handkerchief, and finally let Ning Jian eat the consequences, but this kind of good luck is not always there.
"Of course I have something to do." Ning Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip, the fragrance waving into the tip of her nose, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The tea is fragrant, and Ning Zhao only feels comfortable physically and mentally.
The matter of the military horse implicates the Taifu Mansion, what virtue does his father have, Ning Zhao knows very well, if this matter has nothing to do with him, then it is called a ghost.
In front of Jin Yuan before, he gave Ning Hong a high hat, just to make things bigger, so that he had no way to make a big deal small, so he could only bite the bullet and be his 'honest and honest' good official.
If you want to be able to get by on the face, then Ning Hong is afraid that she won't be able to sit still in private!
Thinking of this, Ning Zhao was in a much better mood, and when he saw the worried green cicada, Ning Zhao smiled lightly and said comfortingly: "You don't care about this matter, when the time comes, you can rest assured, I will definitely arrange it properly, and I will not leave a handle on people." ”
"But ......" the cicada was still not at ease.
"Don't be it!" Ning Zhao stretched out his hand to hold Qing Chan's wrist, looking at this person who was willing to die for himself in his previous life, although he was a maidservant, but now in Ning Zhao's heart, in addition to his mother, Qing Chan is also the only relative who can be trusted.
"Qing Chan, I know you're worried about me, but I'm not the Ning Zhao I used to be, you have to believe me." Ning Zhao's eyes were deep, as if she was looking at herself in her previous life through a green cicada, but a touch of bitterness rose in her heart when she looked at such green and simple eyes.
That simple and delicate Ning Zhao will never be able to go back......
The matter was settled like this, and Qing Chan's persuasion was fruitless, so he could only compromise, and worked hard to help Ning Zhao prepare what he needed.
Ning Zhao also inquired about the military horse trading market, and in the process, he heard some rumors more or less.
Although she was a noble concubine in her previous life, she had been intriguing with Jin Yuan all her life, but when the military horse incident happened, she was still the second girl of the Ning family who was ignorant of the world, and the details were naturally not very clear.
Everything is ready, on the day of departure, Ning Zhao was standing in front of the dressing mirror dressed as a man, and the cicada ran in from outside the courtyard, lowered his voice, and said breathlessly:
"Second Miss, the adults and the lady have gone out, and the eldest lady has also followed a few young ladies to enjoy the flowers, and now only the lady is in the house, shall we leave now?"
Seeing her look like a thief, Ning Zhao couldn't help laughing, reached out and pinched Qing Cicada's cheek, handed her a glass of water, and said with a smile: "Of course, remember what I said, if someone asks about me, just say that I am not well to rest, and I will come back soon." ”
Qing Cicada took the water cup and drank it in one gulp, nodded heavily, and replied: "Don't worry, Miss, you must pay attention to safety, go early and return early!" ”
With the cover of the green cicada, Ning Zhao quietly went out of the house through the back door, and went straight to the military horse trading market according to the address he had explored.
Today's royal family has Hu blood, which is a well-known thing, but no one dares to mention the royal family's face, but the custom of Shangma has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that the military horse trading market has always been full of people, whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary businessman, they are happy to raise horses.
Although Ning Zhao is a woman, she is slender and tall, tall and dignified in men's clothes, and looks like a handsome young man who has just grown up in a big family, with a graceful demeanor.
At first glance, it seems to be a prosperous scene, but I don't know that under this prosperity and harmony, some people are doing ulterior things.
"Does this little boy look at the horses?"
A greeting brought back Ning Zhao's thoughts, and she looked for a dark-skinned horse dealer who was holding a dark brown horse in his hand and shook the reins at her.
"This ...... Is Huma? Ning Zhao didn't know much about horses, but looking at the color and body shape of the peddler's horse, it was different from ordinary horses.
"Hey......
The peddler laughed when he heard this, tied the reins to the pillar in three or two times, ran to Ning Zhao with a smoke, and said in a low voice: "Little boy, be quiet, my horse is a serious Huma, and it is not the same thing as those messy things in other houses." ”
Ning Zhao frowned at the smell of the hawker, held back his steps, grasped the key to the hawker's words, and asked, "What is the mess of other houses?" Is it ......?"
Ning Zhao raised his eyes and looked around, there were many people around him who looked similar to the horse in front of him, so he raised his hand and asked, "Aren't these Huma?" ”
"Ouch, my little boy, hey!" The peddler was startled when he saw her movements, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, but Ning Zhao withdrew his hand a moment ago and looked at the peddler suspiciously.
