Chapter 189: Excuses
Youyou didn't expect that less than two hours after the royal drive returned to Beijing, Zhang Ning came over. As soon as they met, they said eagerly: "You can't say it clearly in your letter, what did the Empress Dowager say?" ”
After receiving the letter from Youyou, Zhang Ning was puzzled, he had completed the gambling contract, why did the Queen Mother still oppose it? In the letter, the Empress Dowager only said that the Empress Dowager did not agree, but did not say why she disagreed. Isn't that a rush to death?
He didn't go crazy, it wasn't easy.
The leisurely and energetic eyes kept turning back and forth from Zhang Ning's black hair, eyebrows, nose, and thin lips, and he looked at Zhang Ning frowning before he said, "The imperial grandmother said that your face is not good." ”
She didn't want to say this, but she couldn't understand why Zhang Ning's face was not good? He is full tomorrow, with a straight nose and thin lips, how can he be short-lived?
"What's wrong with my face?" Zhang Ning's black and white eyes looked directly at Youyou, and his sword eyebrows tightened, and said, "Can't the Empress Dowager find other reasons for repentance?" ”
Absolutely no one believes that he wants to have a bad face and become the only noble child who has passed the school review this year as a teenager? Can you become a celebrity in front of the emperor? He founded a textile mill and set a precedent for collecting merchant taxes, which enriched the treasury and allowed merchants to rise in status.
If he doesn't have a good face, can he do these things?
The Empress Dowager is sick and confused, right?
Zhang Ning complained deeply and slandered.
Yoyo sighed, "I said the same too. But the emperor's grandmother said that Zhang Tianshi once gave her a book, so she knew physiognomy. She said......"
"Say what?" Zhang Ning didn't have a good temperament, if the Empress Dowager couldn't say why, even if she was in a high position, he would fight to the end, and he would never forget it like this.
Youyou groaned: "I said, don't take it to heart. ”
"Can I not go to my heart?" Zhang Ning said: "Tell me quickly, what did the Empress Dowager say?" You'll have to say it before I can figure it out. "Can you do it coolly? It's really urgent.
"The imperial grandmother said that she would not live to be sixteen years old when she saw your face, so she had a three-year appointment with you. It's just that I didn't expect you to be a marquis so soon. I think that when the three-year contract expires, even if you don't have a marquis, her old man will agree to this family business. ”
"Can't survive this year?" Zhang Ning was stunned as soon as he spoke, a few months ago, when the original owner was fighting with a group of nobles, he was knocked unconscious by Song Cheng, and he was able to cross, to put it this way, the original owner really didn't live to be sixteen years old.
A pair of eyes swirled around on Zhang Ning's face, how could he miss any subtle expressions of Zhang Ning? Seeing that Zhang Ning's expression was different, he hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Ning gathered his thoughts, chuckled, and said: "What does the Empress Dowager mean, I have a calamity this year, and it is very likely to hurt my life, so I have to wait for me to get through this year's calamity before we are allowed to have a family affair?" ”
"yes, that's it." Yoyo's tense nerves relaxed a little, and said, "As soon as you explain this, I will figure it out." I'll just say, the imperial grandmother loves me so much, she will definitely not object to our family affairs. ”
Obviously, the doom has passed, has there been no change in physiognomy? Zhang Ning thought for a while and said, "The face is not credible, but most of the old people believe this. We will wait for me to go out with me on the expedition to Warat, and then we will be married after my triumphant return. ”
"Are you going to go with the car?" Yoyo was inevitably worried, and the Empress Dowager said that he would not survive this year, and he would go on an expedition, what if his face should be on the battlefield?
Zhang Ning stroked her black hair, she wanted to turn her head sideways, wanted to avoid it, and wanted to miss him in the past few days, and the two places were lovesick, and her head stopped after moving slightly.
Zhang Ning smiled slightly and said, "If I don't go to the battlefield and won't return, how can I change the attitude of the Empress Dowager?" At that time, she couldn't find an excuse to object. ”
"But in case ......"
"No in case. I will return victorious. Zhang Ning said with confidence.
Yoyo stared at him and said, "Really? "How can it be so easy as you say, there are no eyes on the battlefield, who can guarantee that they will come back unscathed? You're just comforting me. Alas, in order to prove to the Empress Dowager that you will definitely live a long life, you do not hesitate to risk going to the battlefield, how can I not understand your heart for me?
Gentle and soft, gently leaned into his arms.
Zhang Ning lightly grabbed her slender waist and said softly: "Our army has guns, and there are sharp weapons such as 'thunder', and we can kill the enemy without getting close to the enemy. You can rest assured, there is no danger. ”
"The heroes of the steppe, who are excellent in archery and archery, why should they be near the enemy? You want to comfort me, can you find a better excuse? Yoyo sneered.
"So how is it the same? How can a bow and arrow compare with a lance? ”
If cold weapons can be compared with hot weapons, how can they be replaced by hot weapons? It's just that you can't say this to Yoyo, otherwise it will be exposed. He said, "Believe me, I will come back safely." ”
Youyou sighed lightly: "Otherwise, you should marry Miss Yang first." "In case of the Empress Dowager's words, you can also leave incense for the Yang family. Yang Shiqi is old, but he doesn't have so many worries about the Queen Mother.
"Marry Rong'er first?" Zhang Ning was stunned. If he marries Yang Rong'er first, I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager will have more reason to oppose it, what if he misses out with Youyou because of this?
"Hmm." You buried her head in his arms, smelled the manly breath on his body, and said softly: "I will persuade the imperial grandmother to agree, and presumably Yang Shoufu will not object." ”
"Nope." Zhang Ning shook his head and said, "Let's wait until I return victoriously before talking about the marriage date." If you want to marry, I will marry you two together. ”
Yoyo didn't say anything more, just snuggled tightly into his arms.
…………
In Cishou Palace, Zhu Qizhen and the Empress Dowager dined together, and sat down to drink tea and chat after the meal. After saying the scene of the "thunder" coming out and the earth shaking when the mountains shook, Zhu Qizhen said: "Imperial grandmother, if it weren't for Zhang Ning's picture of 'thundering', the craftsman who made the craftsman would have been skilled, and he couldn't make such a good baby." ”
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Do you want to intercede for Zhang Ning and let him and Youyou get married as soon as possible?" The mourning family told you that the marriage of the county lord is not trivial, how can it be prepared and perfected in a moment and a half? Ordinary people have to prepare for a year or two to marry a daughter. ”
This seems to be very reasonable, but Zhu Qizhen is not at ease. He said: "Imperial grandmother, you and Zhang Ning have a three-year covenant to be a marquis. ”
"The mourning family has not forgotten, isn't it less than three years?" The Empress Dowager smiled slyly and said, "Since he is a marquis, the mourning family will prepare a dowry for Youyou, why not." ”
"Does the imperial grandmother mean that it will take three years for them to get married?" Zhu Qizhen's tone was full of helplessness, don't you be stubborn and can't do it?
"That's what mourning means."
