"That ......," Master Ning San smacked his lips with difficulty.

Ning Ningqing looked at the eldest prince and said gently: "I also have the heart to bother for a while, but my family's business still needs me to go back to take care of it as soon as possible, and my grandmother and mother need me to take care of it, so I really can't delay." If the Great Khan has the heart to organize a wedding ceremony for me and Ah Zheng, how about holding an engagement ceremony for us? ”

"Betrothal......" the eldest prince muttered for a moment.

Ningxia Qing said again: "I am not yet filial piety, and I am in a hurry to go back, if the Great Khan leaves us here to get married, I really can't do it, and I ask the eldest prince to understand." ”

The eldest prince's frowning brows relaxed, nodded helplessly, and said, "Then I'll go back to the Great Khan, Miss Ning will wait." ”

As soon as the eldest prince left, Master Ning San, who had been holding his breath for a long time, breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Ning San glanced at Ning Xia Qing with a strange expression, and teased: "I thought you really planned to stay here and get married." I'll just say, you're not the kind of person who indulges himself and doesn't care about his family for the sake of a man. ”

Ning Xia Qing lowered his eyes and said: "The reason why I said that is just an expedient measure." If I refuse as soon as I open my mouth, I am afraid that the Mongolian side will not let me go, and the order between us and Mongolia will also be implicated. ”

Master Ning San frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

Ning Xia Qing sighed and said slowly: "The reason why the Great Khan wants to arrange a marriage for Ah Zheng is nothing more than to show that Ah Zheng has a close relationship with Mongolia. Ah Zheng vowed not to join the Mongol tribe, but even if the Mongol Great Khan could not completely pull Ah Zheng into the Mongol camp, he would make Mongolia the tribe that Ah Zheng preferred the most. ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled slightly and said: "Therefore, I can't refuse directly, if I refuse directly, it will go against the will of the Great Khan, I am afraid that the Great Khan will not let me go so easily, and it may affect the orders in the future." ”

Ning San looked at Ning Xia Qing, his expression was still a little strange, as if he wanted to say something and was wording, Ning Xia Qing immediately said: "Third Uncle go and prepare for the departure first." I still have to discuss the matter of marriage with Ah Zheng. ”

Master Ning San sighed and left helplessly.

Ning Xia Qing looked at the back of Master Ning San and breathed a sigh of relief.

She will not give Master Ning San a chance to speak, she will not ask Master Ning San's opinion on this matter, this matter must be decided by herself from beginning to end, she will not give Master Ning San any chance to meddle in this matter.

For her, it was a bit of a challenge. She knew that the Great Khan was only doing this to win over Ah Zheng, so she knew that if she did not agree to the Great Khan's conditions, she was afraid that it would affect the orders between the Ning clan and the Mongols.

But if she agrees easily, it will be endless for her. She knew that if she didn't come up with an idea immediately, but discussed this matter with Ning San, Ning San would definitely try her best to encourage her to agree to the conditions of the Great Khan and marry Ah Zheng on the grassland.

If she agreed to the Great Khan's conditions and married Ah Zheng on the grassland, she would either have to break the precept of filial piety and marry immediately, or she would have to live here for a few more years before getting married.

The former will make her be talked about for it. Master Ning San will definitely persuade her not to stick to the rules at the moment, but if there is a conflict of interest between the two in the future, Master Ning San will definitely take out this matter and make a big fuss, give Ningxia Qing'an a charge of unfilial piety, and make this matter a handle for Ningxia Qing.

The latter will slow her back to Meigong County. If she can't return to Meigong County in time, she can only let Master Ning San go back with the signed contract to arrange it first. When the time comes, will the Ning clan give the credit to her who is not present? Although she reconciled with her family, it doesn't mean that she has forgotten what her family has done to her family, and she won't be stupid.

If she asked Master Ning San to go back with the contract by herself, Master Ning San would definitely not give her any benefits, and the old and sick women and children in her family would not be able to fight for anything. And after Ning San monopolized the credit, with this order, it was enough to restore the past prosperity, and when the time came, it would definitely rekindle the greed of annexing Ning Ningqing's family business.

She finally took advantage of the battle between Master Ning San and Tan Wenshi to overpower Master Ning San, which made Master Ning San honest in front of her. But she knew what Master Ning San was like, so naturally she wouldn't give Master Ning San a chance to make a comeback over her.

Moreover, whether it is the former or the latter, the final outcome is that she and Ah Zheng are married on the grassland. In this way, even if Ah Zheng went back to Meigong County with her after getting married, because she was married in Ah Zheng's hometown, it still meant that she was married.

She didn't forget that the contract she signed with Master Ning clearly stated that she had to recruit money to get back her mulberry garden. If she really married Ah Zheng on the grassland, Master Ning would rarely use this matter to make a big fuss, intending to encroach on her family's mulberry garden.

Therefore, Ningxia Qing could neither fail to agree to the conditions of the Great Khan, nor could he easily agree. That's why she thought of a compromise to marry immediately on the grassland.

In addition, there are two reasons why she agreed to marry immediately.

The first reason lies in the Cao family.

She remembered that at this time in her previous life, Cao was about to get sick, and she couldn't afford to get sick, so she passed away soon. Ning Xia Qing didn't know if the Cao family would be like this in this life, but she was determined to return to Meigong County as soon as possible and return to the Cao family as soon as possible.

She was full of thoughts about returning to Meigong County as soon as possible. In this way, even if she agreed to the conditions of the Great Khan, it was impossible for her to agree to stay here for a few more years until Ning Yongda's mourning period passed, so she could only compromise and adopt the method of immediately deciding to marry.

The second reason lies in Ah Zheng.

If she doesn't marry Ah Zheng, she will be uneasy.

Mongolia needs to tie Ah Zheng's name to Mongolia with a marriage ceremony, and she also needs this marriage ceremony to tie Ah Zheng's name to her.

Ningxia Qing asked in every possible way, and the Great Khan agreed to hold a wedding ceremony for her and Ah Zheng as soon as possible, because Ningxia Qing urged her many times, and the marriage ceremony was also simplified again and again according to her requirements, until the eldest prince said that if it was simplified, it would appear that the Mongolian tribe would be stingy and embarrassed the Mongolian tribe, and Ningxia Qing had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, Liu'an County, Meigong County.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is about to enter winter, and it has rained for several days in a row, and the smell of cold is floating everywhere, and as soon as you go out, you will step on a foot of water, and there is a scene of slaughter everywhere.

Cao has been lying in the hospital bed for a while.

Since the beginning of autumn, the weather has been cold and warm, after a suddenly cold night, Cao Shi felt the wind cold, lay on the bed for a few days, and invited Dr. Sun from the hospital to come and drink, drank countless bowls of bitter medicine, but the condition has not improved, but it has become more and more serious.

Cao's cough kept coughing, and even his pale face turned red all year round. Because of the swollen and dumb throat, now the Cao family doesn't even like to talk much, and he just makes a random gesture to order Lan Ying if there is anything.

After the illness became more and more serious, Cao didn't even want to eat, but often drank water to moisten his sore throat, watching Cao lose weight day by day. Now Cao lies in bed almost every day, groggy and half-asleep. The entire Ning family was also depressed because of Cao's illness.

Ning Xia Zi walked into Cao's house, carried a bag of things in her hand, put it on the table in Cao's house, and said, "Mother, this is given to me by Grandma Gu, and Grandma Gu asked me to bring it back to you." ”

Cao Shi glanced over, only to see that it was a few exquisitely packaged gift boxes, Cao Shi couldn't help frowning worriedly, and immediately urged Lan Ying to open it and take a look, Lan Ying opened it and took a look, only to see that it was full of ginseng antlers and other things to replenish the body, Lan Ying took the things to the bedside and showed them to Cao, and Cao's brows wrinkled even deeper.

Cao Shi hoarsely coughed and said, "Why are you ...... Ahem...... How can you take the Gu family's things? ”

Ning Xia Zideng showed a nervous expression, and immediately waved his hand to explain: "I know that I can't just take other people's things, my mother has taught me many times, and I remember them all." But this is what Grandma Gu has to give me, and I can't push it away, so I have to ......"

Seeing that Ningxia Zi was really innocent and embarrassed, the Cao family had no choice but to sigh and signal Lan Ying to put everything away.

Ningxia Zi saw that the Cao family was not angry, so she continued: "Mother, Grandma Gu heard that you were sick, so she specially asked me to bring these things to make up for your body." ”

Cao Shi lay down on the bed and said to Ningxia Zi: "You go to the academy tomorrow, but remember to thank Mrs. Gu for your mother." ”

"Got it, I've already thanked it today, I'll thank you again tomorrow." Ningxia Zi replied honestly.

Cao Shi closed his dry eyes, nodded, opened his eyes and looked at Ningxia Zi, sighed, and said, "I'm not in good health, you can go out quickly, but don't get past my illness." You should stay with the old lady as much as you can these days, and when I am well, you will come back." ”

Ning Xia Zi thought for a while, her expression was a little aggrieved and worried, and she nodded and went out.

Ningxia Zi left Cao's house, and Cao lay on the couch, full of worry.

His illness was so ferocious, at first Cao Shi also felt that it was just the same as in the past, it was just a ferocious wind and cold, but day after day, his body did not get better for a long time, it was really ...... I can't help but think about it in that direction.

Cao's body has been weak and sick since she was a child, she has not thought about such a thing, not to mention that she is also middle-aged, and has experienced the pain of losing her husband, she has already thought about life and death, although it does not matter, but it will not be because of this. If it really doesn't get better, Cao can also accept this fate.

However, the only thing that worries the Cao family at the moment is Ningxia Qing.

Cao is afraid that if his body can't support Qing'er back, wouldn't he regret it for life...... The Cao family only hopes that Ningxia Qing will come back as soon as possible, and the only thing he wants in his heart now is to see Ningxia Qing as soon as possible.

But Ningxia Qing, who was far away in the north, had no news back.

Ningxia Zi and Shuangxi walked out of Cao's courtyard, Ningxia Zi's face was full of melancholy, and she pouted, as if she was about to cry.

Shuangxi cautiously comforted on the side: "Second girl, don't worry, Mrs. will definitely be fine." ”

Ning Xia Zi looked at Double Happiness, did not nod or shake his head, neither believing Shuangxi's words nor being willing to imagine the worst-case scenario.

The two walked back to the old lady's yard, but saw that the old lady was not in the yard, and when they inquired with other maids, they found out that the old lady had gone to the shop again.

When Ningxia Qing left home, he entrusted the business of Huacaiyuan to Dong Zizhen and the old lady, Dong Zizhen took care of it as usual, and the old lady temporarily replaced Ningxia Qing as the master. Therefore, since Ningxia Qing left home, the old lady often went to the shop.

But these days, the old lady goes to the shop very often.

Ning Xia Zi noticed this a few days earlier, so she guessed if there was a problem with the business of the shop at home, but she knew that whether she asked the old lady or the shopkeeper Dong, it would definitely not be possible to get an answer, so she asked Gu Xiaobao.

Gu Xiaobao didn't want to say it at first, but then he was so grinded by Ningxia Zi that he couldn't help it, so he said that it seemed that there was something wrong with the workshop, which Gu Xiaobao heard when he overheard Gu Feng and Dong Zizhen talking, but no matter how specific it was, Gu Xiaobao didn't know it.

Ning Xia Zi stood at the gate of the courtyard, thinking that the old lady had gone to the shop again, and thought that she must have gone to solve the trouble in the shop again.

Ning Ningqing's mouth couldn't help but pout higher.

The next day, when Ningxia Zi went to the academy, according to Cao's explanation, he made a special trip to the courtyard of the old lady Gu to thank him.

In Mrs. Gu's yard, Ningxia Zi happened to meet Gu Xuesong and Gu Huailang. Gu Huailang knew that the Ning family was now looking forward to the news of Ningxia Qing, so he volunteered to inquire about Ningxia Qing's news for Ningxia Zi.

It turned out that Gu Huailang was going to follow Gu Xuesong to the capital. And once Ningxia Qing comes back from the Northland, he will definitely pass through the capital first, as long as Gu Huailang knows that Ningxia Qing has returned from the Northland, he will send someone to bring the news back to Meigong County to Ningxia Zi.

Speaking of which, there are two reasons why Gu Huailang wanted to go to the capital with Gu Xuesong.

The first is because the autumn is approaching, Gu Huailang wants to ask Lin Jingguo for advice before the autumn, and Lin Jingguo is now in the capital, so Gu Huailang plans to go to the capital to meet Lin Jingguo in person.

The second reason is that Gu Xuesong is going to get married in the capital, and Gu San cannot leave Meigong County because of official business, so he sent Gu Huailang to congratulate him.

Gu Xuesong is about to marry the second daughter of the crown prince and the second daughter.
